Chapter 1117 Where did your mother-in-law go?
"Crack!"
Ok?
When Jia Zhangshi heard the voice, she was stunned for a moment, and then felt a stinging pain in her fingers.
I rely on!
What the hell is this thing?
Jia Zhangshi instinctively wanted to shout, but fearing being discovered by the people in the courtyard, she could only desperately cover her mouth, afraid of making any noise.
After pulling her hand away, Jia Zhangshi felt like cursing.
There was a dark mousetrap right at the fingertip!
"Who the hell put a mousetrap in there?! It hurts like hell!"
Despite the pain, Jia Zhangshi gritted her teeth and removed the mousetrap. Looking at her bleeding fingers, she felt both angry and anxious.
She was angry because she felt Chen Jun was too cruel, actually hiding a mousetrap inside.
The urgency stemmed from the fact that the calligraphy hidden there had disappeared, meaning that Chen Jun had discovered it and hidden it in a different location.
"How vicious! They found that calligraphy and then hid it away. They're definitely plotting to frame me!"
"They might have already reported the situation to the security department!"
Thinking of this, Jia Zhangshi's heart sank. No, she had to hurry and find that calligraphy!
Ignoring the pain in her fingers, Jia Zhangshi began rummaging through drawers and cabinets looking for things.
Unfortunately, Jia Zhangshi searched the entire house but couldn't find the calligraphy.
“The calligraphy must be inside the house, otherwise he wouldn’t have been able to hide it from the people in the courtyard if he took it to work.” Madam Jia patiently analyzed, convinced that the calligraphy was still inside, but she couldn’t find it anywhere!
"We can't exactly hide it in the roof beams, can we?"
Madam Jia looked up at the roof beam. And you know what? At this height, she really couldn't see or reach it. It was a good place to hide things.
After hesitating for a moment, Jia Zhangshi pulled the table under the roof beam and stacked two stools on it.
Twisting her muscular body, Jia Zhangshi climbed up shakily, taking each step very slowly, as if afraid of falling off the chair.
But Jia Zhangshi was unwilling to give up without standing up and taking a look.
Just as Jia Zhangshi was struggling to stand up, she suddenly heard the voice of her second aunt.
"Qin Huairu, where did your mother-in-law go?"
"Second Aunt, she went to haul manure early this morning and hasn't come back yet," Qin Huairu replied.
Today, Jia Zhangshi got up even earlier than Qin Huairu, making Qin Huairu think the sun had risen in the west. Previously, it was always Qin Huairu who had finished cooking before Jia Zhangshi would finally get up.
"The manure cart? That was this morning. I just saw her in the open space next to the steel mill. I thought she had already come back." As she spoke, Aunt Er tiptoed and glanced into the Jia family's house, but she didn't see Jia Zhangshi.
Weird!
Where could Jia Zhangshi possibly run off to?
Second Aunt was a little anxious. Liu Haizhong's task for her was to keep a close eye on Jia Zhangshi. As long as she could find the calligraphy that Chen Jun had lost before anyone else, Liu Haizhong would be credited. Even if he didn't get any reward, he could still make Chen Jun owe them a favor.
Of all the people in the courtyard, Chen Jun's connections were the most valuable.
"She went to the steel mill?" Qin Huairu couldn't help but frown, subconsciously thinking that Jia Zhangshi had gone to the yamen to cause trouble.
"Yes, I saw her come from the steel rolling mill with my own eyes."
As she spoke, Aunt Erda strolled around the yard, trying to see if Jia Zhangshi had realized she was following her and was deliberately avoiding her.
Qin Huairu and Jia Zhangshi are practically inseparable, so their words can't necessarily be trusted.
Hearing footsteps coming from the doorway, Jia Zhangshi, who was standing on high ground, panicked.
Finish the calf!
Chen Jun's lock was pried open by himself. Could it be that his second aunt noticed?
"Huh, Chen Jun's house isn't locked."
Just as I feared, Jia Zhangshi's legs started cramping after her aunt said that.
"I remember they locked their door every day!"
It's unclear when exactly, but the Chen family started locking their doors, becoming the first family in the entire courtyard to do so. Only after that did other residents develop the habit of locking their doors.
"Don't come over!"
Jia Zhangshi shouted desperately in her heart, but as she heard the approaching footsteps, her calf suddenly cramped up!
Jia Zhangshi, who was already trembling, lost her balance completely and fell off the chair with a cry.
"boom!"
Jia Zhangshi, with her large frame, landed heavily on the ground with a loud thud.
As luck would have it, the large plate-shaped face made intimate contact with the ground.
Other families would compact the soil inside their houses to save money, but Chen Jun was rich and powerful. When he renovated his house, he laid a layer of bricks inside. When Jia Zhangshi fell, she saw stars.
"Ouch!!! It hurts so much, it hurts so much!"
"Help! Qin Huairu, come save me!"
At this moment, Jia Zhangshi felt like her whole body was about to fall apart. Coupled with the commotion she had just caused, she couldn't care less about anything else and started wailing at the top of her lungs.
"Qin Huairu, why is your mother-in-law at Chen Jun's house?"
Auntie Er exclaimed in surprise and rushed in before Qin Huairu could react.
Looking at the stack of stools on the table, Aunt Er seemed to understand something.
Jia Zhangshi is stealing!
No, they're here to steal again!
So arrogant!
Yesterday, I stole Chen Jun's calligraphy, which attracted the attention of the police and security department, causing a huge commotion!
Today, Jia Zhangshi actually dared to steal things!
Although everyone in the courtyard knows that the Chen family is rich, you can't just come and steal every day. If word gets out, everyone in the entire No. 95 courtyard will lose face.
"Jia Zhangshi, you, you, you... why are you stealing from Chen Jun's house again?"
The second aunt played a little trick here, deliberately using the word "again" to test Jia Zhangshi.
But at this moment, Jia Zhangshi was screaming in pain and had no mind to respond to her second aunt's probing.
"It hurts so much! Ouch, ouch! You damned bastard, come and help me!" Jia Zhangshi covered her face with one hand and her waist with the other, cursing at her second aunt.
Ouch?
You thief, how dare you curse me?
The second aunt was so angry she laughed. Pointing at Jia Zhangshi, she cursed, "How dare you, you thief, curse me? You stole that calligraphy from Chen Jun's house too, didn't you? How dare you!"
"Tell me, where did you hide that calligraphy piece?"
"I don't know, I don't know! You damned bastard, you just stood by and watched me die! Luckily, I even did some needlework for you before!" Jia Zhangshi was still cursing.
needlework?
The second aunt was taken aback at first, and then she was genuinely amused.
What a load of bullshit needlework!
That was a few years ago when we were chatting in the courtyard. Jia Zhangshi helped Second Aunt thread a thread, that was all.
But in Jia Zhangshi's mouth, it became helping with chores.
Pooh!
