Jia Zhangshi only made a slight move and already knew the limits of everyone in the courtyard.
“Uh... why does it smell so bad? Who's cooking feces?”
“Damn, damn, damn, you really have some tough characters in the middle courtyard.”
“I can't take it anymore, absolutely can't take it, I'm going to throw up.”
“……”
Today, many people came to the middle courtyard.
After all, Bu Xiangdong had treated everyone to braised food before, so they were willing to help out.
There were also the craftsmen who came to deliver materials and those who came to renovate the houses.
One by one, they were cursing.
They were only doing their jobs for the money, and with the weather changing, otherwise, they would all want to retreat.
“Stop talking nonsense, it's not feces being cooked, it's Jia Zhangshi braising pig intestines!”
Yi Zhonghai had already hidden at home.
But he was still forced to come out.
Setting aside the smell, his reputation couldn't be tarnished.
Bu Xiangdong didn't care; he enjoyed his unscrupulous life and wasn't bothered by others' gossip.
But Yi Zhonghai couldn't afford that.
He was the elder of Courtyard 95.
If word got out that someone was cooking feces in the courtyard he managed,
was this a moral decline?
Or a distortion of humanity?
Jia Dongxu finally understood where his ominous premonition was coming from.
Using a cane, Jia Dongxu hobbled out.
“Dongxu, your health isn't even good yet, where are you going?”
“It's snowing again, and the plum blossoms in Beihai have bloomed, I want to go see.”
“I've braised some fresh pig intestines for you, eat that first, you can go later.”
It really started to snow that day.
.....................
Snowflakes danced, the north wind howled.
The world was a vast expanse, a single cold plum stood proudly in the snow...
Jia Dongxu stood in the snow with his cane, and the atmosphere suddenly became intense.
“……”
Jia Dongxu lay back down on the bamboo chair.
Snowflakes fell one by one, and the cold wind blew in, piercing my heart.
Bu Xiangdong covered his nose and shouted, “Damn, Jia Zhangshi, you didn't wash your pig intestines, did you?”
“Don't slander me without evidence; I eat more salt than you eat rice, do you think I wouldn't know?”
Of course, he knew.
Everyone looked at Jia Zhangshi with strange expressions.
Last night, Bu Xiangdong's braised food filled the entire courtyard with fragrance.
Today, the braised food made by Jia Zhangshi was filled with the smell of feces.
“Oh my god, this smell is too overwhelming, I can't hold it in anymore.”
“Damn it, trying to copy Bu Xiangdong's braised food, and this is what you ended up with.”
“Guanlin, I've eaten wild vegetables and tree roots in hardship, but I've never eaten feces.”
“What a sin!”
Bu Xiangdong stomped his feet, “It's about to snow, craftsmen, go up to the roof and flip the tiles, the air up there is fresh, and it won't matter if it delays the work.”
The craftsmen nodded in agreement; this master had a point.
But the others were feeling quite sour.
Especially the residents living in the middle courtyard.
“Shut up, you want to eat but there's nothing to eat.”
Jia Zhangshi fished out two pieces and placed them in a bowl to serve Jia Dongxu.
“This... can I eat it? Why is it so dark?”
“Don't worry, your mother wouldn't harm you, would she?”
“Well, Qin Huairu, let me taste it first.”
“You eat it.”
“Don't worry, your husband wouldn't harm you, would he?”
Qin Huairu: “……”
Damn it, haven't you done enough to trick your wife?
........................
Qin Huairu looked at the shape and extension, and every bite made her want to throw up.
“Ugh, ugh, ugh...”
“Oh my, Jia's sister-in-law, is this morning sickness again? Damn, Qin Huairu, don't throw up on me!”
Qin Huairu felt a bit of pleasure in tricking Bu Xiangdong.
Let’s see you mock me.
If one person is disgusted, why not pull everyone into the disgust?
“Sorry, sorry, I didn't mean to.”
“... So you did it on purpose. Tsk tsk, letting a pregnant woman taste the poison, you can see the Jia family's style.”
Qin Huairu's expression became even uglier.
[Host successfully incited discord, system rewards!]
[Ding, congratulations to the host: received 100 pounds of flour!]
[Default option, supplies stored in system space!]
The farce in Courtyard 95 continued until the afternoon.
Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan came over.
“Dong Ge, I heard your courtyard is quite the spectacle, someone fell into a latrine, and someone got arrested.”
Bu Xiangdong's face twitched, “Even you guys know about it?”
The fat man felt a bit smug, “You don't know who I am? I'm known as the all-knowing informant of Sijiu City.”
But the next second, Hu Bayi slapped him in the face.
“What nonsense, at the entrance of Nanluoguxiang, a group of aunties were talking about this.”
“Damn, don't slap me in the face so quickly.”
The fat man asked mysteriously, “Was it really attempted murder last night?”
“Who said that?”
“It’s said that a knife was drawn, and one of them almost died if not for someone saving them.”
“And they say a hand reached out from the latrine and pulled someone in.”
Bu Xiangdong was speechless.
What on earth was being spread around?
“If there were a third world war, it would definitely be caused by aunties.”
“Ah ha ha ha!”
The fat man laughed like a silly dog.
