Chapter 847 Jia Zhang goes to the backyard
That day, Liu Haizhong was feeling unwell due to a slight cold, so he stayed home to recuperate instead of going to work. He lay on the kang, covered with a quilt, with some medicine he hadn't taken yet lying next to him.
Jia Zhangshi didn't care whether Liu Haizhong was home or not, nor did she care about those trivial matters. She took her stick and went straight to the deaf old lady's door. She saw a series of seals on the door, which fluttered slightly in the wind.
Banggeng didn't feel scared at first, but when he saw the seals, his heart skipped a beat and a sense of fear welled up in him. He tugged at Jia Zhang's clothes and whispered, "Grandma, these are seals. If we tear them off, won't that be illegal?" Although Banggeng was young, he knew that breaking the seals might not be a good thing.
Upon hearing this, Jia Zhang was so angry she nearly jumped up. She glared at Banggeng fiercely, wondering why he was so timid and wondering if he was Jia Dongxu's biological son. She said angrily, "Are you stupid? If you don't do it, someone else will. Does leaving this house like this mean it's a bargain for others? If you don't help, don't expect Grandma to give you good food in the future."
Banggeng became even more confused after being scolded by Jia Zhang. At Jia Zhang's urging, he hesitated for a moment, but still reached out to open the seal.
At that moment, Liu Guangfu, from the Liu family, happened to be passing by. He saw Banggeng and Jia Zhangshi removing the seal on the deaf old lady's house. He opened his mouth to stop them, but swallowed the words back. He thought about his father constantly talking about taking over the deaf old lady's house, and he felt that he had to tell him about this. So, Liu Guangfu turned around and ran home.
Liu Haizhong was just about to take some medicine and go to bed. He just had a slight fever and felt weak, and the main thing was to get some rest and recuperate. He had just picked up the medicine bowl when he saw Liu Guangfu running in in a panic.
Liu Haizhong frowned, looked at Liu Guangfu, and said unhappily, "Liu Guangfu, why are you so anxious? Didn't I teach you that you should be calm and steady in everything you do? You can't be impulsive. Do you understand?"
Liu Guangfu was running out of breath. He took several breaths there and finally recovered his strength. However, because of Liu Haizhong's reproach, he didn't know what to say for a while. He could only stand there, opened his mouth, but closed it again.
Liu Haizhong was sitting in the room, his nose sniffling from time to time, wrapped in a thick cotton coat, still feeling depressed about his cold. At this moment, Liu Guangfu rushed in, looking flustered. Liu Haizhong looked up at him and asked impatiently, "What's the matter? Didn't you say you wanted to see me if you had anything?"
Liu Guangfu took a breath and quickly told him everything about Jia Zhang and Bang Geng trying to tear the seal off the deaf old lady's house. "Dad, I just heard that Jia Zhang and Bang Geng are going to tear the seal off the deaf old lady's house! Do you think they're planning to take over the deaf old lady's house?"
When Liu Haizhong first heard this, he thought it had little to do with him and wasn't worried. But when he heard the words "the deaf old lady's house," his heart skipped a beat and he suddenly became nervous. In fact, Liu Haizhong had long had his eye on the deaf old lady's house and had been thinking about how to get it. Now that he heard the Jia family was going to take action first, he realized that he might not be able to get it, so how could he not be anxious?
Liu Haizhong didn't care that he still had a cold and his nose was stuffy. He tore off his cotton coat and hurried out.
Liu Guangfu watched his father's attitude change, wondering: Didn't he just say he wasn't in a hurry? Why is he so anxious all of a sudden? However, he thought this would be a joke, so he hurried after him.
As Liu Haizhong stepped out of the door, he saw Banggeng reaching out to tear off the seal on the deaf old lady's door. The seal fluttered slightly in the wind, as if announcing to Liu Haizhong its impending change of ownership. Liu Haizhong had wanted to remove the seal for a long time, but every time he approached the door, he felt a pang of fear, not daring to act.
Jia Zhang's sharp eyes caught sight of Liu Haizhong immediately. Bang Geng wanted to say something to Liu Haizhong, as if to protest or provoke him. But Jia Zhang smiled slightly, waved her hand and said, "Alright, ignore him, let's go in and clean up. This house will be ours sooner or later."
Banggen was initially a bit afraid that Liu Haizhong would stop him, after all, Liu Haizhong held some respect in the courtyard. But when he remembered that he had his grandmother's support, he felt more confident and stopped talking. Following Jia Zhang's gaze, he saw the lock on the deaf old lady's house. To him, the lock seemed like a barrier to the main house.
Jia Zhang looked at Bang Geng, her eyes full of anticipation, and said, "I'll give you this lock. Once you unlock it, this house will be ours. Then, our family can live in it comfortably."
Liu Haizhong was furious when he heard what Jia Zhang said. He took a step forward, looked at Jia Zhang, and said angrily, "Jia Zhang, you're not right! What do you mean by 'this is your house?' How did this house become yours?"
Jia Zhang turned her head and glanced at Liu Haizhong. They had lived in the same courtyard for so long, not just a year or two, and she knew what Liu Haizhong was thinking. He was just thinking about the house. So, she calmly retorted, "Liu Haizhong, if this house isn't mine, how can it still be yours? Don't get involved here."
Liu Haizhong was speechless at Jia Zhang's words, and for a moment he didn't know how to refute her. His face flushed red, and after a long while, he finally managed to say, "No matter what you say, this house is not yours. Don't let your imagination run wild. Do you understand?"
Although Jia Zhang said she was not afraid, Banggeng was still a child after all. Seeing Liu Haizhong's angry look, she was still a little scared. She stood there with her head down, not knowing what to say, and rubbing her hands nervously.
Jia Zhang stared at Banggeng beside her, her eyes revealing a hint of eagerness and greed. She lowered her voice and said, "Banggeng, don't worry about him. Go and open the lock quickly. As long as the lock is opened, this house will be ours from now on." As she spoke, she gently pushed Banggeng with her hand, as if she was afraid of missing this "god-given opportunity."
