When rendering pork lard, Jia Zhangshi clamored to report it.
At that time, Chen Jianye used his words to subdue Jia Zhangshi, but he remembered this grudge in his heart.
Reporting was purely self-defeating, and since Jia Zhangshi threatened with it, Chen Jianye had to teach her a lesson.
He wanted her to know that one could eat carelessly, but not speak carelessly.
Chen Jianye had cloth strips wrapped around the soles of his shoes, making almost no sound as he walked.
Step by step, step by step.
In the pitch-black night of the Siheyuan (Courtyard), apart from the bright moon above, there was no other light.
For Chen Jianye, everything within his sight was no different from daytime.
Possessing the ability to see in the dark, the night was Chen Jianye's domain.
Arriving at the Backyard, Chen Jianye heard a grunting sound.
It sounded like an old sow grunting softly.
Chen Jianye felt a slight psychological discomfort.
Suppressing the discomfort in his heart, Chen Jianye quickened his steps and arrived at the public restroom area.
There were two squatting toilets in the restroom.
They were covered by two pieces of cloth.
Through the sound, Chen Jianye knew that Jia Zhangshi was squatting on the first squatting toilet.
However, Jia Zhangshi did not know that someone was already standing outside the curtain.
She was still grunting and grunting, a hint of enjoyment on her face.
In those days, due to the scarcity of oil in meals, most people's bowel movements were dry.
It was normal to grunt a few times while squatting.
But a sound like Jia Zhangshi's was truly rare.
Standing outside the curtain, Chen Jianye lifted his foot with disgust and kicked inside.
With a bang.
Chen Jianye didn't even need to confirm the result; he turned and ran back.
"Aow!"
A tragic sound came from the restroom.
Jia Zhangshi screamed loudly, and the next moment, fecal water flowed into her mouth, silencing Jia Zhangshi's subsequent cries.
Two seconds later, Chen Jianye had already run home, closed the door, and quickly removed his gear.
"Murder! Murder! Help!"
Jia Zhangshi struggled in the cesspit, her mouth and nose emerging from the fecal water, her clear voice echoing throughout the Courtyard.
Soon, many of the pillars of the households in the Courtyard came out with flashlights.
Yi Zhonghai looked exhausted.
Damn it, today was Sunday, a day of rest.
Couldn't he have one peaceful day?
Sha Zhu also came out of the house: "First Master, that's Jia Family's Aunt's voice."
"Come with me to the Backyard."
"Don't be impulsive."
Yi Zhonghai cautioned.
Sha Zhu didn't say anything.
His stomach still hurt, so he couldn't be impulsive anyway.
Everyone came to the Backyard, and the flashlights shone everywhere.
Liu Haizhong, Xu Damao, Yan Fugui, and others had all arrived.
"What's the situation?"
"It sounds like Jia Family's Aunt's voice."
"The sound is coming from the Backyard, where is she?"
Everyone didn't see Jia Zhangshi; they only heard her voice but didn't see her, so they discussed among themselves.
"Someone! Help!"
At this moment, Jia Zhangshi had already found her footing in the cesspit, shouting with her hands raised high.
The cesspit of the public restroom had been dug a long time ago.
Falling into it was like getting stuck in a swamp.
Jia Zhangshi grabbed wildly, unable to climb out, covered in filth from head to toe.
She had drunk and gulped so much that she was almost full.
"It seems to be near the restroom."
"Let's go take a look."
Everyone found the source of the sound.
Led by Yi Zhonghai, they walked towards the public restroom.
Indeed, in the first stall, everyone found Jia Zhangshi struggling in the cesspit.
"Jia Family Sister-in-law, how did you get in here?"
Liu Haizhong looked puzzled.
"Who would willingly go into a cesspit? I think Jia Family Sister-in-law accidentally fell in."
Yan Fugui offered an explanation.
"Pah! I was kicked in."
"I don't know which beast kicked me from outside, right on my face."
Jia Zhangshi screamed in anger.
"Who could be so wicked?"
Liu Haizhong sighed.
"Old Woman Jia, you must have offended someone, right?"
Yan Fugui thought for a moment and said.
"Yes, she must have offended someone. Jia Family's Aunt, think hard."
Sha Zhu already had a guess in his heart, but he was very cautious not to say it, instead guiding Jia Zhangshi's thoughts.
After being severely beaten by Chen Jianye, Sha Zhu had also become smarter.
"It must be Chen Jianye, that beast!"
"Quick, quickly call Chen Jianye over!"
Jia Zhangshi thought for a moment and identified her target.
Besides Chen Jianye, she didn't have any major grudges with anyone else.
Actually, she didn't have much of a major grudge with Chen Jianye either, but Jia Zhangshi knew that Chen Jianye was capable of doing such a thing.
In the Courtyard, only Chen Jianye was vengeful and never suffered losses.
"Jia Family Sister-in-law, how about we pull you out first?"
Yi Zhonghai thought for a moment and asked.
"Yes, yes, yes, pull me out first! I'll go ask Chen Jianye myself!"
"If he dares not admit it, I'll smear feces on his front door."
Jia Zhangshi roared furiously.
Sha Zhu's face showed wild joy.
Good, finally someone is going to avenge me.
Chen Family.
Chen Jianye heard this and raised an eyebrow.
As the saying goes, a mop with feces is like Lu Bu reincarnated.
Jia Zhangshi was covered in feces, so he really couldn't get physical with her.
If he slapped her, his palm would be covered in fecal water.
Ptooey.
Just thinking about it was disgusting.
Chen Jianye unbuttoned a few buttons of his shirt, pretending to have just woken up and put on his clothes, and swaggered out the door.
He couldn't let Jia Zhangshi rush to the Chen Family's doorstep.
Even if she didn't do anything, a puddle of fecal water at the Chen Family's entrance, whether seen or smelled, would be unpleasant.
Chen Jianye walked out of the house, just as Qin Huairu came out with a flashlight.
Her belly was getting bigger, and she couldn't sleep well at night, so getting up was very troublesome.
If not for hearing Jia Zhangshi's voice, Qin Huairu really wouldn't have wanted to go out late at night.
Chen Jianye glanced at Qin Huairu.
He didn't know if it was his imagination, but Chen Jianye always felt that Qin Huairu had a smile on her lips.
She seemed quite happy.
"Jianye?"
Qin Huairu shined the flashlight and called out to him.
"Jia Family Sister-in-law."
Chen Jianye replied politely.
"My mother, my mother seems to have fallen in the restroom. Are you going to help?"
Qin Huairu looked suspicious.
"I'll go check the situation. If she needs my help, I'll lend a hand."
Chen Jianye said amiably.
"Then thank you very much."
Qin Huairu walked very slowly, supporting her large belly.
The two arrived at the Backyard restroom.
Liu Haizhong retrieved the wooden stick he usually used to beat his children from home and handed it to Jia Zhangshi inside the restroom.
Yi Zhonghai arranged for three strong men from the Courtyard to hold the other end.
"Granny Jia, hold on tight."
Sha Zhu was in the first position, and after a low shout, he assumed a stance.
Behind him stood Liu Guangtian and Yan Jiecheng.
The three 'King Kongs' of the Courtyard were reunited once again.
"Hurry up."
Jia Zhangshi said irritably.
She couldn't stand being in this wretched place for another second.
"One, two, three, pull!"
Sha Zhu shouted the count and pulled back with all his might.
With a 'puff' sound, the wooden stick slipped from Jia Zhangshi's hand, and Sha Zhu, Liu Guangtian, and Yan Jiecheng stumbled backward, landing on their bottoms.
"Ouch, damn it."
"Hiss!"
"Damn!"
The three rubbed their buttocks, cursing loudly.
"Jia Family's Aunt, don't let go!"
Sha Zhu said with annoyance.
"I wasn't ready just now, you guys try again, this time it'll definitely be fine."
Jia Zhangshi said somewhat guiltily.
Honestly, Jia Zhangshi felt it wasn't her fault.
The force from Sha Zhu's end was too strong; she really couldn't hold on.
