Chapter 69
This kind of person is extremely malicious; stay away from them!
"That's right!" Qin Huairu said without stopping her hands. "If you have any dirty clothes, leave them here and I'll wash them all together. It's no trouble at all."
"No, no, really no need..."
Such polite words are common among neighbors; just listen and let it go.
But to Jia Dongxu, it felt like being pricked by needles.
"snort!"
A blast of cold air shot out from his nostrils, his eyes seemed to be blazing with fire, and it felt as if ten flying axes were floating overhead, making one dizzy.
Liu Dong glanced at him: "What's wrong? Toothache?"
Jia Dongxu remained silent, only letting out another "Hmph—"
"Dongxu, ignore him!" Madam Jia immediately jumped in to protect her son. "That kind of person is wicked; stay away from him!"
Tsk.
These words actually match the ten little axes swinging wildly above her head perfectly.
What an amazing family!
Liu Dong coughed twice and slowly pushed his bicycle to Jia Zhangshi's side.
"Ouch!" Jia Zhangshi shuddered in fright. "What are you doing? Are you trying to hit me?"
"No way!" Liu Dong waved his hand with a smile. "Aunt Zhang, I was just asking about something."
Seeing that his attitude was good, Madam Jia's expression softened slightly: "What is it?"
Liu Dong lowered his voice: "Have you seen He Daqing?"
"No!" Madam Jia looked around. "He's not around even on the weekend. Where has that old geezer gone off to this time?"
Liu Dong immediately chimed in, "Keep your voice down... I heard from Zhu Zi that this old guy... has a girlfriend!"
"What?!" Jia Zhangshi's face scrunched up, as if she'd bitten into a rotten lemon. "What the hell did you say?"
She doesn't believe it.
Liu Dong sighed, "It's true! Zhu Zi told me himself that He Daqing is having a passionate affair with a widow, and he's even going to raise her son back home. He's also disowned Zhu Zi and Yu Shui. Zhu Zi is heartbroken!"
Swah——
It was visibly obvious. Jia Zhangshi's face suddenly darkened.
A fire ignited in my heart, and I couldn't suppress it.
Upon seeing this expression, Liu Dong immediately understood—good heavens, the jealousy had been spilled.
I rely on...
This flavor is too strong!
It seems there's something going on between Jia Zhangshi and He Daqing; it's definitely not as innocent as it appears on the surface!
So Jia Dongxu... is he really He Daqing's son?
Really? Jia Zhangshi herself fell for it?
"Where does that widow live?" Her voice was as cold as ice.
Realizing he'd overreacted, he quickly took a breath and whispered, "Liu Dong, do you know where that woman is?"
"Know!"
Liu Dong answered readily: "According to Zhu Zi, there is a Chinese medicine shop called He Shan Tang near the west gate of Shichahai."
"That woman's surname is Bai, her name is Bai Yulan, she's in her early thirties, and her figure sways and wiggles...tsk...you didn't see it with your own eyes—those eyes are so alluring, one look could steal your soul!"
"Pah! Stop spouting nonsense!"
Jia Zhangshi was so angry that her fingers were trembling.
But Liu Dong was amused, secretly holding onto his bicycle and trying not to laugh.
That was awesome!
This is going to be interesting!
Given Jia Zhangshi's temper, if she really had an affair with He Daqing, she would definitely tear that pretty boy to shreds today!
Her mind was a bit confused, her chest heaved for a while, she took a deep breath, turned around and went back into the house.
A dozen seconds later, he changed into a pair of old cloth shoes, slammed the door, and left.
"Dongxu's mother, where are you going?"
Old Jia, who was playing cards under the tree, looked up and asked casually.
"Going to buy groceries!" she said, "We're almost out of food at home, so I'm going out to try my luck and see if I can bring some back."
The words were barely out of his mouth before he was already gone.
Liu Dong grinned: Ha, off to settle scores with his love rival, he can't escape!
No rush, no rush.
It's quite a distance from here to Heshantang; she wouldn't be able to find the place in less than an hour.
More importantly—
We need to find a way to let Lao Jia witness this grand spectacle firsthand.
"Huai Ru, I'm outta here!"
"Alright, alright!" Qin Huairu's eyes crinkled with a smile. "Brother Liu Dong, go back and rest. The sun is scorching outside, don't get sunburned..."
Jia Zhangshi inquired along the alley, asking around, and finally found the street on the west side of Shichahai.
"Excuse me, sir, is there a pharmacy called 'Heshantang' nearby?"
"Yes, yes, the one who sells herbs!"
Meanwhile, in the Wo Shan Tong, He Daqing was slumped in a recliner, letting the widow slowly remove the gauze wrapped around his head.
"Ouch...it hurts!"
Even with gentle movements, he winced in pain and gasped for breath.
"It's been a month, why isn't it getting better?" he asked, puzzled.
The white widow gently comforted him, "Brother, don't worry, burns heal slowly anyway. With my secret remedy and three more days of rest, it will scab over."
"Hmm..." He Daqing squinted, his face full of happiness, "Lanlan, my son and I have already agreed that once my hair has healed, we'll set off—"
"Let's go together to Baocheng!"
"Okay!" the white widow smiled sweetly, "When we get there, I'll give you two chubby little boys!"
"But... is everything alright with your son?"
"Hmph!" He snorted, "Who I marry is none of his business! That kid's been dim-witted since he was a kid, just like his mother, a complete idiot. Do you think I'd tolerate him?"
Just then, hurried footsteps approached from the doorway—
After much searching, Jia Zhangshi finally came knocking on the door!
Pushing open the half-closed door, I immediately saw the two of them cuddling together, and my anger exploded instantly!
"He-da-qing!!!"
A loud crash—
She kicked the door of the pharmacy in half!
He roared, "You shameless bastard, what have you been up to in this filthy place behind my back? Spying on this vixen with her, have you no regard for the law?!"
He Daqing jumped up abruptly: "Sister-in-law... Sister-in-law? What brings you here?!"
The white widow shrank back in fright: "Brother He, who is this?"
"Didn't you say your wife died a long time ago?"
"Waaah...waaah..." Madam Jia trembled, tears streaming down her face. "He Daqing...you heartless beast! I'd kill you, I'd kill you!! You said you'd only love me in this life, you said you'd spend your whole life with me! And now, you turn around and cling to someone else!"
Holy shit! !
Liu Dong, who had been eavesdropping in the shadows, instantly transformed into the Flash and sprinted back to the courtyard house.
He rushed into the side room, pushed out his tricycle, jumped on, and started calling out to people:
"Old Jia! Yi Zhonghai! Get in the car quickly! Something terrible has happened!!"
Old Jia, who was playing cards, looked completely bewildered: "Liu Dong, what's wrong with you?"
"Aunt Zhang is fighting! Aren't you going to break it up?"
"What?! Someone dares to touch my mom?!"
"Who? I'll kill him!" Jia Dongxu jumped to his feet.
"Let's go, let's go!"
Old Jia, Jia Dongxu, Yi Zhonghai, and Liu Haizhong all squeezed onto the car.
Fortunately, the tricycle was wide enough to fit four strong men inside.
"Hold on tight, I'm about to go fast!"
