The life of Lao Liu since 1944

Chapter 165: Jia Zhang gets beaten

Once their own interests were involved, everyone panicked.

People are afraid of comparison. Imagine that the food you buy is a little more expensive than others.

Over time, you will definitely suffer losses, and this is still a small matter.

The most important thing is that you have a bad reputation! When people inquired, they found out that it was because you bought grain on credit and didn't pay back the grain, so they targeted you.

How can I hold my head up high when I go out in the future? How much criticism will my children suffer? It will not only affect my family's work, but also my children's future. This is the most important thing.

Especially in Yan Bugui's family, her husband is a teacher, who cares the most about his reputation. If the news gets out, will he still be able to work as a teacher? She asked anxiously:

"Chunsheng, don't scare your aunt. How do you know about this?"

When the others heard this, they all looked up at Hou Jie, hoping to hear what they wanted to hear from him.

Hou Jie was not panicked at all, and thought very proudly, "You guys are gloating over other people's misfortunes and talking nonsense. It's easy to deal with you. It's just a matter of talking."

He was not in a hurry and said slowly:

"Of course I have my own channels. You may not know this! My shop is rented to Yongchang Grain Store as a storefront, so I am naturally well-informed. When I went to the shop to do some business today, the shopkeeper told me."

The third auntie confirmed one day: "Is the news true?"

Hou Zai nodded heavily under everyone's gaze. "Really, it's true."

Everyone began to get anxious and scared, so they all turned their eyes to the culprit, Jia Zhang. It was this woman who had tricked everyone into not returning the grain, and now she had screwed everyone over badly.

Regardless of whether Jia Zhang had done anything to harm them or not, many of them would not return the grain.

They would not be so foolish as to admit that their family did not want to pay back the grain. Isn't this another ready-made scapegoat? They all pushed the blame onto Jia Zhang.

Jia Zhang saw that things were not going well and that she was about to be targeted by everyone. She was desperate and tried all means to find a solution. She shouted loudly: "Everyone, listen to me! Why don't we not buy grain from Yongchang Grain Store? The city is so big, and it's not just his family that buys grain."

When everyone heard this, they thought about it and realized that there were so many grain sellers in Sijiu City, but none of them sold grain cheaper than Yongchang. They suppressed their temper and muttered quietly. "Yes! Jia Zhang, what you said makes sense. There must be a grain seller in Sijiu City that sells grain cheaper than Yongchang. They are all grain sellers, so everyone should make money!"

"Yes! There must be one. If we ask around, we will definitely find it."

Hou Jie saw this and thought, this won't work! If you don't fight, his efforts will be in vain! He is deceiving everyone with lies.

"Ahem! You don't know! The largest grain wholesaler in Sijiu City is Yongchang Grain Store. Since Yongchang Grain Store rose to prominence, the people outside the city have gone directly to Yongchang Grain Store to sell grain. Because they offer fair prices and are honest. The prices are much higher than those offered by other wholesalers. Other wholesalers have no choice but to raise the prices when they go out to collect grain. So the grain they sell is naturally more expensive than Yongchang's, at least 20% more."

Hou Jie successfully shattered their expectations. After that, he walked away, took out some melon seeds, and secretly watched the fun.

Everyone had no other thoughts in their minds. Knowing that the food they bought would be more expensive than others, they were very sad.

"If I had known this, I wouldn't have taken advantage of these little advantages. In the end, it also harmed my own family."

Jia Zhang hated Hou Jie completely. Ever since Hou Jie came to the courtyard, her family had never had a good life. It must be him who brought bad luck to her family and took away all their luck.

. The first time she hosted a banquet at home, he spoiled her once. This time, she was targeted again. She would never be able to mess around like this in the future!

Jia Zhangshi would not look for the reason in herself, and did not think that it was her own fault for being greedy. All the faults were others', and they just bullied her because she had lost her husband and was a widow, so she was easy to bully.

So Jia Zhang made up her mind to teach them a lesson.

"I, Jia Zhang, am not someone who can be easily bullied. If you provoke her, you will have to pay the price."

Everyone turned their eyes to Jia Zhang and said angrily, "It's all Jia Zhang's fault. She deceived everyone."

"Yes! It was Jia Zhang who was behind all this. My family had been planning to pay it back slowly, but we believed her lies and put it off until later. Now it's too late."

In order to avoid being beaten, Jia Zhang just sat down on the ground, slapped her thighs with both hands, and started howling.

"Oh! Old Jia! Please open your eyes! The people in the courtyard are bullying me, an old woman. They are driving me crazy. They praise me when they have the upper hand, but when they feel they are at a disadvantage, they turn hostile to me."

How could they admit this? Everyone's faces turned even darker. Seeing that Jia Zhang was throwing a tantrum again, they didn't intend to let her go. They had seen her tricks before, so they were not afraid of her anymore.

The Xu family's daughter-in-law cursed and made unfounded arguments.

"Jia Zhang, we are all women, WHO is afraid of WHO! You are such a troublemaker, you have ruined everyone in the yard."

He took the lead and started tearing, and the others did not lag behind, and they all came forward, pulling Jia Zhang's hair, cursing, and twisting her arms. After a while, Jia Zhang's face was swollen, her eyes were black, and her clothes were torn. She struggled to break free from the crowd and ran back to the house in embarrassment.

My whole body was still retorting with a firm mouth, and I was cursing in the room, you said something and I said something back and forth, it was very lively.

Hou Jie, who was far away, saw the scene in front of him. It was a familiar routine and a familiar taste, and he felt great.

"Jia Zhang, why don't you come out! You are capable of causing trouble, but you are not capable of taking responsibility!"

Jia Zhang used her body to push against the door tightly, adding fuel to the fire and retorting, "Why don't you come in! I'm in the room and I won't go out."

The third aunt knocked on the door even more angrily. "Why don't you open the door? How can we get in if you don't open the door?"

Who knew that Jia Zhang was in the room, asking for death:

"I can't do anything about it! The door locked itself and I couldn't open it. Isn't that infuriating?"

For a while, everyone started to argue and no one would give in. All kinds of dirty words were used, which made the people who had gathered there feel scalp cracked and shocked.

Everyone was planning to yell at her to scare her, but unexpectedly, Jia Zhang went too far. Everyone got angry, and after a discussion, they took a few steps back.

He kept slamming the door forward, bang, bang, and after a few hits, the door was opened.

Everyone rushed in and started beating Jia Zhang, who was knocked to the ground.

For a moment, the room was in chaos and there was a lot of noise.

Occasionally, there were also Jia Zhang's cries for her parents and her sobs.
