"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
"Chen Jianye can afford a bicycle? How can he afford a bicycle!"
Jia Zhangshi's face instantly twisted into a ferocious expression.
She was completely shattered.
"Sick."
Old Woman Jia walked away, not wanting to argue further with Jia Zhangshi.
"Hey, Old Woman Jia, what's wrong with your mouth? Did someone hit you?"
Another Old Woman Jia noticed Jia Zhangshi's swollen mouth and asked a follow-up question.
Several children in the front Courtyard were looking at Jia Zhangshi, whispering and stifling their laughter.
Having two small sausages hanging from her mouth was too amusing.
Jia Zhangshi was not in the mood to deal with these people and ran towards the Middle Courtyard.
As soon as she entered the Middle Courtyard, her gaze was firmly drawn to the bicycle parked at the Chen Family's door.
The bicycle leaned against the wall, supported by its kickstand, gleaming brightly like a proud swan, standing out from the rest.
The sunlight reflected by the bicycle was almost blinding to onlookers.
Jia Zhangshi's suspended heart finally died.
"Chen Jianye, how can you afford a bicycle?!"
Jia Zhangshi roared.
"Sick."
Chen Jianye looked up at Jia Zhangshi and uttered two words.
Does I need to explain to an old woman like you why I bought a bicycle?
"Chen Jianye, where did you get the ticket?"
Jia Zhangshi continued to shout.
"If you make another sound, I'll hit you."
Chen Jianye looked up, his expression calm.
Jia Zhangshi's chest heaved violently, and she returned to her room unwillingly.
"Grandma, Chen Shu bought a bicycle, it's so shiny."
"Can our He family buy one?"
Bang梗 quickly went to meet her, his eyes full of hope.
"Buy, buy, buy, buy my ass, it'd be more like selling you."
"Get lost."
Jia Zhangshi was in a rage and cursed loudly.
If she couldn't deal with Chen Jianye, she could at least deal with her own grandson.
Bang梗 was scolded and ran out of Jia, crying.
"Mom, why are you scolding Bang梗? The child doesn't understand anything."
Qin Huairu said, feeling distressed.
"Go away, go away, don't bother me."
Jia Zhangshi was too annoyed to argue.
Chen Jianye actually bought the first bicycle in the Courtyard.
Where did that little bastard get the ticket?
It shouldn't be.
Moreover, with a bicycle, Chen Jianye's chances of success in blind dates would be greatly increased.
Once he had a wife, Chen Jianye would soon have children.
If the Chen Family had descendants and prospered, she would be bullied by him for the rest of her life.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, so Jia Zhangshi left her house and went straight to the Yi Family's house.
"Master Yi, Chen Jianye bought a car, did you see it?"
As soon as Jia Zhangshi entered the house, she went straight to the point.
"I'm not blind."
Yi Zhonghai replied irritably.
"Where do you think this kid got the bicycle ticket from?"
"You couldn't even get a bicycle ticket from our factory, so how could he, a newcomer, get one?"
"I think, perhaps, its origin is not legitimate."
Jia Zhangshi's words carried a hint of leading.
"Perhaps, I don't know."
Yi Zhonghai went along with her words but didn't take the bait in Jia Zhangshi's statement: "Why don't you go ask him?"
"Sigh, I already asked, but he wouldn't tell me."
"He must be feeling guilty, First Master, you're the Grandpas of the Courtyard, if you ask, he'll definitely tell."
Jia Zhangshi became anxious and couldn't help but incite him.
"I won't ask, he didn't ask me to borrow money to buy the car, so what does it have to do with me?"
Yi Zhonghai was very smart and unwilling to be Jia Zhangshi's pawn.
"First Master, I suspect Chen Jianye's bicycle ticket was obtained by colluding with enemy agents."
"How does it have nothing to do with you?"
Jia Zhangshi proposed a hypothesis.
"Then you ask the other two Grandpas, don't always come to me."
Yi Zhonghai looked speechless.
Colluding with enemy agents, you have quite an imagination.
If he were truly an agent's subordinate, he would definitely be trying to keep a low profile.
Buying a bicycle and bringing it into the Courtyard, attracting the attention of the entire Courtyard, Chen Jianye displayed an extremely confident attitude.
It was clear he wasn't afraid of being investigated.
Yi Zhonghai was a man with a brain and would not jump out to confront Chen Jianye directly.
"I see you're not capable either."
Jia Zhangshi looked disdainful, using a provocative tactic: "If you don't take care of it, I'll go to the street committee."
"When I make a contribution, don't say I didn't include you."
"Do whatever you want, you don't need to tell me."
Yi Zhonghai waved his hand.
"Alright, Lao Yi, you truly have no good fortune."
Jia Zhangshi left, looking as if she felt sorry for Yi Zhonghai.
Outside the door, she spat fiercely on the ground. She muttered several curses under her breath.
Yi Zhonghai refused to show his face, so only she, a woman, could go.
There wasn't a single man with guts in the Courtyard.
Pah!
After muttering for a while, Jia Zhangshi walked to the He family's house.
"Sha Zhu, Chen Jianye bought a new bicycle, did you see it?"
Jia Zhangshi slightly raised her head, speaking with a hint of disdain.
Honestly, she truly looked down on Sha Zhu.
A man in his thirties, still a bachelor.
Useless.
"Jia Family's Aunt, what do you mean?"
Sha Zhu's face was very grim.
"I just feel that Chen Jianye's bicycle doesn't seem to have come from a good source."
"How could he have gotten a chance to get a bicycle ticket?"
Jia Zhangshi said, intentionally or unintentionally.
"Jia Family's Aunt, are you saying that Chen Jianye's bicycle ticket came from an illegitimate source?"
Sha Zhu's eyes slightly brightened.
"Sigh, I'm just guessing. Look at First Master, even an Eighth-Grade Fitter couldn't get a ticket, and Chen Jianye is a First-Level Fitter, who would give him a ticket?"
"It's possible that Chen Jianye colluded with enemy agents to get the ticket."
Jia Zhangshi said in a low voice.
"He, what's in it for him? Putting his life on the line for one ticket."
Sha Zhu felt that this logic was a bit off.
If he were in Chen Jianye's shoes, he certainly wouldn't risk his life for a bicycle ticket.
"You don't understand this. Chen Jianye doesn't have much life left, so he'll definitely do whatever makes him comfortable."
"If he can marry a wife and leave a descendant for the Chen Family, he won't care if the means are clean or not."
"Don't you think that's the logic?"
Jia Zhangshi found reasons to justify her statement.
"What you said makes sense too."
Sha Zhu echoed.
"Sha Zhu, this is what I'm thinking: I'll keep an eye on Chen Jianye in the Courtyard, and you go report him to the Public Security Bureau."
"Let's team up and take Chen Jianye down."
Jia Zhangshi blinked.
"Hiss, this... I'll go ask First Master."
Sha Zhu felt that the matter was getting serious.
"That coward, why bother with him?"
"Do you have the guts to do this with me?"
Jia Zhangshi said disdainfully.
"How about we switch? You go to the Public Security Bureau, and I'll keep an eye on Chen Jianye in the Courtyard?"
Sha Zhu said in a low voice.
"Sha Zhu, you're not willing to take even a little loss, are you?"
"Alright, alright."
Jia Zhangshi almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.
She had thought that with her sharp tongue, she could definitely manipulate Sha Zhu.
Unexpectedly, Sha Zhu was also a cunning fellow.
Jia Zhangshi angrily came out of the room and glanced at the Chen Family's door diagonally opposite.
Chen Jianye had already finished preparing the vegetables and gone inside.
"Little bastard, others don't dare to fight you, but I do!"
Jia Zhangshi angrily walked back into her room.
Back home, her eyes rolled around, and suddenly a plan came to her. She waved to Bang梗: "Bang梗, come here."
