Chapter 2122 Come here because of fame
Nanluoguxiang
Qiangzi was also sent to drive a tricycle by Jia Zhangshi today; after all, he couldn't be idle all the time. Household necessities like firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar were all free; the courtyard house didn't support idlers.
With lunchtime approaching, Jia Zhangshi, after berating Yi Zhonghai and Qiao Zuwang in the courtyard, happily ran home to prepare lunch for Qiangzi.
The reason she criticized those two old fogies was because news of Qi Weiyi's impending discharge from the hospital had reached the courtyard.
Yi Zhonghai visited his apprentice yesterday, so the old man is deliberately leaking information to test the waters with the women in the courtyard. After all, Qi Weiyi betrayed Dwarf Tiger and the others this time…
The courtyard houses are now predominantly female, so Yi Zhonghai didn't dare to send his apprentice back directly. So he first tested the waters, but as soon as he mentioned it that morning, he was met with a barrage of criticism from several old women.
In particular, Jia Zhangshi jumped up and cursed, which angered Yi Zhonghai to the point that he almost hit her.
The current Yi Zhonghai is not the same Yi Zhonghai as before; Jia Zhangshi is not afraid of him at all. This woman continues to unleash her ultimate attack on Yi Zhonghai and Qiao Zuwang face-to-face…
"You dare to come back? Try throwing me a huge feast and see what happens. I'll eat my hat if I can't curse you to death. Have you forgotten how you treated us when I was working with Tong Zhi?"
Jia Zhangshi, grumbling and cursing, went to her stove, only to find that she had run out of matches when she tried to light a fire to boil steamed cornbread!
"This Qiangzi doesn't even know how to leave his old mother a few matches. Is his brain full of mush all day long? All he knows is how to have sons. I'll give birth to your grandmother's legs."
Helpless, Jia Zhangshi had no choice but to get up and go to the small shop outside the alley to buy matches... After all, given her reputation, it would be difficult for her to borrow anything from her neighbors.
Knowing she couldn't borrow anything from Yang Ruihua and Xu Huizhi, Jia Zhangshi didn't bother trying to persuade them.
The woman strode towards the alley entrance... and coincidentally, Tong Zhi also arrived at Nanluoguxiang at that moment.
After arriving, Tong Zhi plunged into the small shop at the entrance of the alley.
"Comrade, give me a pack of Hademen."
"Alright! One pack of Hademen..."
After receiving the cigarettes, Tong Zhi immediately tore one open, pulled one out, and gave it to the shop assistant...
"Oh, thank you! You don't seem to be from Nanluoguxiang, you're just passing by, right?"
Tong Zhi was just there to inquire about something; buying cigarettes was merely a pretext.
“You guys from Jiudaowan, did you see me come up here? It was all your people from the 95th Hospital who beat me up…”
The young man had seen Liu Haizhong and his group in the past two days and had also asked about their injuries.
"Oh, I see. So you still dare to come? Hurry up and leave before Sha Zhu and the others see you."
Tong Zhi only had a problem with No. 95 Courtyard, not the entire Nanluoguxiang area. Now that the young man has smoked Tong Zhi's cigarettes, he naturally won't say anything unpleasant.
Just as Tong Zhi was about to boast, Jia Zhangshi swaggered in.
"Biaozi, get me a box of matches..."
Jia Zhangshi originally wanted to put it on Qiangzi's account, but Tong Zhi turned around and startled her.
"Damn it, it's you, kid! What are you doing here? Are you looking for death...?"
As Jia Zhangshi spoke, she stepped forward and grabbed Tong Zhi by the collar...
Despite being only 1.58 meters tall, Jia Zhangshi still dared to grab Tong Zhi, who was 20 centimeters taller than her.
Tong Zhi originally came here just to try his luck and ask around, but he unexpectedly ran into them. It seems he always runs into whoever he's thinking of!
"Stop, stop, stop! Jia Zhangshi, stop right now! Are you out of your mind?"
After Tong Zhi broke free, he immediately ran outside, and Jia Zhangshi grabbed a match from the counter and chased after him.
“Biaozi will keep the books, and your Uncle Qiang will give them to you… Auntie, go after this little brat.”
Jia Zhangshi and Tong Zhisu have maintained contact over the past few years, and despite being alone, she shows no signs of weakness whatsoever…
After the two of them ran out of Nanluoguxiang, Tong Zhi slowed down.
"You little brat, I'll teach you to run away again! Tell me what you're doing here this time? My Qiangzi has missed two days of work because of your beating, so pay me back!"
Finally, Jia Zhangshi revealed her true feelings: she was pursuing Tong Zhi only to extort some medical expenses or lost wages. After all, since Qiangzi returned, all he did was curse Yan Bugui and Tong Zhi for his ruthlessness. Naturally, this woman would hold Tong Zhi responsible, mainly because she couldn't extort a single penny from the miserly Tong Zhi.
"Pay me money? Jia Zhangshi, are you out of your mind?! I almost died at the hands of those bastards Zhao Lichun, and you're asking me for money? Believe me or not, I'll slap you for it..."
Before Tong Zhi could finish speaking, Jia Zhangshi grabbed his clothes tightly again. This woman didn't care who hit the other. Anyway, her man was beaten by Tong Zhi, so they should each deal with their own situation separately.
"Stop trying to argue, you hit my Qiangzi, so you have to pay up. If Zhao Lichun and the others hit you, go find them too! These are two different things..."
Jia Zhangshi always talked nonsense and there was no reasoning with her.
Now that Tong Zhi saw that there was no one around, he pulled Jia Zhangshi into a corner.
"Stop yelling! It's not like you can't have money. It just depends on whether you know what's good for you. Let me be blunt! I'm here to see what you've done to me last time. Let's not bring up the time you cheated me. But this time you have to serve me. If you agree, how about we talk?"
Madam Jia frowned as she looked at Tong Zhi, who was grinning mischievously. She had no idea whether what Tong Zhi was saying was true or false.
Jia Zhangshi, a woman from Fucheng, led her men to leap over the enemy's territory, only to be ambushed by Tong Zhi the next day. Now, Tong Zhi doesn't entirely trust Jia Zhangshi, and similarly, Jia Zhangshi doesn't trust Tong Zhi.
"What... what do you mean? Are you trying to fool me again? I'm not falling for it."
Madam Jia Zhangshi did not believe that Tong Zhi would come to her for pleasure, after all, there had already been an unpleasant incident at Fucheng Gate.
Tong Zhi peeked out from behind the wall to see if anyone was passing by. After confirming that no one was there, he grabbed Jia Zhangshi by the collar and sneered.
"I don't trust you! What if you try to scam me again? Anyway, I'm genuinely interested in playing this game. If you're serious, just give me a straight answer. I can pay a two-cent deposit first, and then give you eight cents after it's done. If you don't agree, I'm leaving! Finding a half-open door only costs a few cents..."
Madam Jia never expected that Tong Zhi would come to see her today. And he didn't seem like a fake... after all, a deposit was already due!
"A deposit of five cents, or I won't believe your nonsense. And I have to choose the location..."
"No way, who knows if you'll ambush me with your tricycle. I'll choose the location, so don't worry about me ripping you off. This time I'm after your skills; let's call it even."
Tong Zhi was quite frank this time; the only thing he didn't reveal was that he wanted to cheat on Jia Dongxu's father.
Madam Jia was now secretly pleased, after all, the young man had come because of his reputation.
