Siheyuan: tomb robbing? I am serious about hunting.

Chapter 215 A Deliberate Trap

This time, it was obvious that Jia Zhang had deliberately set up a trap, waiting for Sha Zhu to fall into it. But Sha Zhu was impulsive and easily soft-hearted, and this time he was probably really fooled by her.

No, I have to think of a way and not let Jia Zhang succeed!

The first lady made up her mind and turned to walk out of the yard. She wanted to find the third uncle. Although this old man usually liked to take advantage of others, he had a good brain and might be able to come up with a good idea at a critical moment.

……

It was late at night, and the courtyard was silent, with only a few crickets occasionally breaking the dull atmosphere. In the dim light of Jia's house, Jia Zhang was facing the mirror, carefully applying red medicine. Her face was bruised and purple, which was shocking, but Jia Zhang didn't feel any pain at all, instead, there was a strange smile on the corner of her mouth.

"Silly Zhu, silly Zhu, you are too young to fight me!" Jia Zhang said to herself while winking at the mirror, "Wait until I get your house, and see how you can still bully me!"

"Mom, do you really want to get Shazhu's house?"

A timid voice came from the bed. The speaker was Jia Zhang's daughter-in-law, Qin Huairu.

"What's the matter? Are you heartbroken?" Jia Zhang glanced at Qin Huairu and said in a bad tone, "Don't forget how your man died! If it weren't for that short-lived idiot Sha Zhu, he wouldn't have died so early..."

"Mom!" Qin Huairu interrupted Jia Zhang's words, with a hint of pleading in her voice, "It's been so long since this happened, can you please stop talking about it?"

"What? Did I say something wrong?" Jia Zhang raised her voice, "If it weren't for Sha Zhu, your husband would still be alive and well, and our family wouldn't have to live such a hard life!"

Qin Huairu lowered her head, silently shed tears, and stopped talking. Jia Zhang's words were like sharp knives, stabbing her heart. Over the years, she had raised three children alone and had to endure the abuse and torture of her mother-in-law. Only she knew the pain.

"Alright, alright, stop crying like a nagging woman!" Jia Zhang waved her hands impatiently, "Go to bed quickly. You have to get up early to go to work tomorrow."

Qin Huairu sighed softly, turned over, and lay down with her back to Jia Zhang.

……

Early the next morning, Auntie Yi brought Uncle San to the Jia family.

"Ms. Jia Zhang, let me ask you, why did you deliberately frame Sha Zhu yesterday?" The aunt asked straight to the point as she entered the door.

"Auntie, what do you mean by that? How did I frame Sha Zhu?" Jia Zhang pretended to be innocent. "Yesterday, I was just walking in the yard. Sha Zhu suddenly rushed out, pushed me to the ground, and beat me up. Everyone in the yard saw it. How did you say that I framed him?"

"Ms. Jia Zhang, stop pretending!" The third uncle also spoke up, "I heard you say in the yard last night that you wanted to teach Sha Zhu a lesson. Do you still want to deny it?"

"Third Master, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want!" Jia Zhang said with her neck stiff, "When did I ever say I would teach Sha Zhu a lesson? Stop spitting bloody words at me here!"

"I'm slandering you?" The third uncle pointed at Jia Zhang's nose and cursed, "Do you dare to say that those injuries on your body were not caused by you? Do you dare to say that you didn't deliberately frame Sha Zhu?"

"I..." Jia Zhang was speechless after hearing the echoes of the aunt and uncle.

"Jia Zhang, I'm telling you, don't think I don't know what you're thinking." Auntie said coldly, "You just want to take over Sha Zhu's house while he's not at home! I'm telling you, don't even think about it! As long as I'm still alive, you'll never succeed!"

"Yes, as long as we are still alive, we will never let you succeed!" The third uncle also echoed.

"You..." Jia Zhang was furious and pointed at the two of them, unable to speak for a long time.

"What do you mean by 'we'?" The aunt stared at Jia Zhang without showing any weakness. "I'm telling you, Jia Zhang, you'd better give up this idea! You can't even think of owning one room in Sha Zhu's house!"

"Okay, okay, okay!" Jia Zhang was so angry that she was shaking all over. She pointed at the two of them and said with gritted teeth, "Just wait, this matter is not over yet!"

After saying that, Jia Zhang suddenly turned around, went back into the house, and slammed the door shut.

The first lady and the third uncle looked at each other, and both saw a hint of solemnity in each other's eyes. They knew that this battle had just begun...

After the first aunt and the third uncle left, Jia Zhang became more and more angry. She felt as if a big stone was pressing on her chest, and she felt suffocated. She slapped the edge of the kang and spat viciously: "Bah! You old fool, you dare to meddle in my business! Sha Zhu's house will be mine sooner or later, and no one can snatch it from me!"

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that what the aunt said was right. She couldn't just sit there and wait for death. She had to find a way to get Sha Zhu's house. However, houses were very expensive these days. Without a lot of money and a lot of bills, who would be willing to give up easily?

"Money, tickets..." Jia Zhang muttered to herself, and suddenly an idea flashed in her mind, and she thought of a person - Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu works in a steel rolling mill and receives a salary and various bills every month. As long as she can get her money and bills, what else is there to worry about?

Thinking of this, Jia Zhang showed a sinister smile on her face. She walked slowly to Qin Huairu's bedside and said in a gloomy tone, "Huairu, you have been working for so long, it's time to save some money for the family, right?"

Qin Huairu was sad, and she felt even more upset when she heard what Jia Zhang said. She lowered her head and whispered, "Mom, I give you my salary every month, and I don't keep a penny..."

"Bullshit!" Jia Zhang slammed the bed and said angrily, "What can you do with that little salary? It's not even enough for me and Bang Geng to fill our teeth! I tell you, Qin Huairu, your husband died early, you should think more about this family!"

Qin Huairu bit her lip, tears welling up in her eyes, but she didn't dare to refute. She knew that if she talked back, Jia Zhang would scold and humiliate her more fiercely.

"Mom, I...I really don't have any money..." Qin Huairu's voice was filled with tears.

"No money? If you don't have money, go borrow it! Go ask for it!" Jia Zhang said viciously, "I don't care what method you use, anyway, I want to see the money and bills within a month!"

Qin Huairu closed her eyes in despair. She knew that she couldn't escape this time...

……

At the same time, Chu Tian was shopping in a department store with his mother Yang Suihua and sister Chu Yuan.

Department stores are a rare place these days, with a dazzling array of merchandise. It was the first time for Yang Suihua and Chu Yuan to visit such a place, and they were as excited as two birds just out of a cage, looking here and touching there, with smiles on their faces all the time.
