Siheyuan: Qin Huairu is a lucky charm for her husband

Chapter 2163 Jia Zhangshi Misses Out on the Grand Banquet

Before Lin Chen could finish speaking, Jia Zhangshi collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Secretary Lin didn't want Jia Zhangshi to sit at the banquet; even a god couldn't save her.

The scene erupted in a murmur of surprise, with Qiangzi and Jia Dongxu being the first to rush forward.

Jia Dongxu didn't want to go at first, but Ma Lan pushed him.

Ma Lan wasn't concerned about whether her mother-in-law lived or died; she was thinking that if Jia Zhangshi were beaten to death by Zhong Zhengguo and his men... hehehe! The Jia family would have to make a fortune in funeral expenses.

After all, Madam Jia Zhang hasn't changed her name to Madam Zhu Zhang; she's still a member of the Jia family. Even if she were to die now, she'd be buried next to Old Master Jia...

"Uncle Lin, please look at my mother! What's wrong with her? Is she dying?"

Lin Chen also quickly stepped forward and directly pushed Qiangzi aside...

Lin Chen checked Jia Zhangshi's eyelids and said, "Don't make a fuss, your mother just fainted temporarily. Take her home quickly! She'll be fine after a while... Did someone hit her on the head just now? I'm warning you, don't ever crack your skull open again. Especially late at night..."

Madam Jia is destined not to be able to attend this grand feast; she's been far too arrogant lately! We need to teach her a lesson.

Besides, Lin Chen was doing it for her own good. Even if Madam Jia wakes up, she should thank Brother Lin...

When Ma Lan heard that nothing was wrong, she immediately deflated.

"Grandma is really tough; she's not even hurt after all this?"

Jia Zhangshi was quickly sent away; now the residents no longer cared whether she lived or died. They were all thinking about who to bet on this time.

Especially on the Yan family's side, since Yan Bugui hasn't paid off his debts to his children, they won't sell the spot to their father this time. Moreover, the third aunt won't give Yan Bugui any gambling funds; they'll bet their own money.

The others are now also observing Yang Weimin and Little Chicken, and it seems that the two are about the same strength.

Neither of them are factory workers, and neither of them performed particularly well in the battle against Jiudaowanzi. It's really hard to tell who can directly dominate the other now…

"Second Uncle, who should we bet on this time?"

Liu Haizhong had no idea who to bet on; he planned to follow his brother Lin's lead. Whoever Lin bet on, Liu Haizhong would bet on...

"I don't know. What if they calm down in a couple of days? Or what if the misunderstanding is cleared up and they don't even go up to the ring?"

In the backyard, everyone was talking excitedly, while in the front yard, Qiangzi patted his wife's cheek.

"Sister Zhang, wake up! The braised pork and chicken stew with mushrooms are ready! They're just waiting for you to get up and eat..."

No matter how much Qiangzi filmed, Jia Zhangshi remained fast asleep, like a log. Jia Dongxu had already left, and after all that fuss, Qiangzi was getting impatient!

"Damn it, why didn't you faint when you were fighting? At least you could have extorted some medical fees that way. Damn it, the feast was about to start and you just collapsed! Never mind, I'm going to eat first. Serves you right for not eating; you fainted on your own."

Qiangzi left Jia Zhangshi behind and rushed to the backyard, locking the door from the outside. Lin Chen had originally planned for Jia Zhangshi to sleep until tomorrow… but now that wasn't necessary!

Central Courtyard

Qiangzi had just sat down to wait for the food to be served when Jia Zhangshi, who had fainted, frowned slightly.

A few minutes later, the banquet officially began in the courtyard. The monthly feast was quite attractive to both adults and children, especially since Ji Cheng and his wife had sponsored it extra.

The scene was bustling with noise. You can imagine how lively it was... Except for Qi Weiyi and Yi Zhonghai, who had no taste for their food, everyone else was already having a blast.

Now, Yi Zhonghai and his apprentices not only have no appetite, but they also curse their neighbors in their hearts for being inhuman.

At the dinner table of several old women... Dwarf Tiger and his friends started arguing.

"Damn it, I was all set to have my way with Jia Zhangshi! And then this woman just got knocked out..."

"Who says otherwise! I even ate something before I came to fill my stomach, but who knew she would lie down! Did Fang Zhuoya just kick her in the head?"

At the table of the older women, several people started discussing amongst themselves.

The woman they were talking about, Jia Zhangshi, had now fully woken up...

Jia Zhangshi first raised her hand and rubbed her forehead.

"Huh? What happened to me! Wasn't I arguing with the chicks in the backyard? And Grandpa had already arranged a match between him and Yang Weimin... I got so excited that I felt dizzy and passed out. Could it be that I was too happy?"

Having fought in a ring herself, Jia Zhangshi knew the ferocity of it all. Just now, in the central courtyard, she overheard Lin Chen telling Ji Cheng and Yang Weimin to settle their score in a ring. She immediately cheered Yang Weimin on…

Jia Zhangshi thought that as soon as the arena competition started, she could go and report to Li Huaide.

At that moment, Jia Zhangshi almost jumped up with excitement, but because there were so many people present, she managed to suppress her excitement... As a result, she fainted due to her overly happy heartbeat.

After regaining consciousness, Jia Zhangshi fumbled around for a while before finally finding the light bulb switch...

"That Qiangzi of mine, he didn't even wake me up before the feast started. I've been waiting a whole month for this meal..."

Madam Jia Zhang cursed and rolled off the bed.

When Jia Zhangshi arrived at the door, she was stunned! Qiangzi had already locked the door from the outside. After shaking the door a few times…

"I... I curse your ancestors for eighteen generations! Who the hell locked this door?"

After shaking the door a few more times, Madam Jia began to curse loudly. She could already hear the bustling noise from the courtyard. She knew the banquet was already underway…

Madam Jia jumped up in anger. This was utterly outrageous! She had been eagerly anticipating this grand feast, and here she was, locked up! Did they have no conscience at all?

"Qiangzi! Zhu Daqiang...come open the door for your mother! Qiangzi, let's stop this...Roasted Chicken, come open the door for your sister-in-law! Banggeng, save Grandma...Dongxu!"

While shouting, Jia Zhangshi shook the door panel with all her might, trying to unlock it.

But ever since Lao Jia first came up, Qiangzi had a carpenter reinforce the door. Now, no matter how hard Jia Zhangshi tried, it was all in vain. Unable to shake the door open, the woman could only shout loudly.

Normally, the court might hear her wailing, but right now, who has time to pay attention to her...

Everyone was wolfing down their food, shoveling every last drop of oil into their stomachs, and no one could hear her even if she shouted herself hoarse.

"Waaaaah... You bunch of bastards, couldn't you have waited for me? I could have lost the five dollars I just earned! And now you're not even taking me to this big feast, have you no conscience?"

Exhausted from the shaking, Jia Zhangshi collapsed to the ground...

"Open the door! Is anyone home? Someone come open the door for Grandma... Qiangzi... Holy crap, I can't even beat you all to leave when I don't want to see you. Now that I'm in trouble, can't you hear me?"

Overwhelmed with anger, Madam Jia Zhang once again weakly pounded on the door... She never imagined things would turn out this way.
