Courtyard House: My Wife is Xu Huizhen

Page 467

He Yuzhu didn't ask any more questions; buying three houses in the southern part of the city would be more than enough.

Hüwood can even make a profit from the difference between the two prices.

Since Xu Wude wasn't really leaving, the atmosphere of parting vanished. After chatting for a while, they went their separate ways.

On his way back, He Yuzhu bought an iron lock and then returned to the courtyard house.

As soon as I got out of the car, I heard arguing in the yard. I was very puzzled. Why were they arguing again?

As soon as they entered the front yard, Liu Gen called out, "Brother Zhuzi, hurry up and go to the back yard. Jia Zhangdi is causing trouble again, saying that the house is hers."

"Is he trying to cause trouble again?"

Liu Gen explained for a couple of minutes, then urged He Yuzhu to go to the backyard.

When they arrived at the backyard, they saw Jia Zhangqu standing in front of the door, trying to break the lock with a brick. He Daqing was arguing with her, while Wen Yuping, holding a child in her arms, pulled He Yushui behind her.

Yi Zhonghai and others just watched the show from the sidelines without offering any advice or intervention.

As He Yuzhu approached, he heard Jia Zhangshi shouting that the house was hers, and then she proceeded to hurl a torrent of abuse at Xu Wude and his son Xu Damao.

He Yuzhu asked Yi Zhonghai, "Master Yi, you're still the big shot in charge of the hospital. Now that someone's breaking down the door and picking the lock, are you just going to do nothing about it?"

Yi Zhonghai said, "I tried to persuade her, but she wouldn't listen. What could I do?"

He acted as if it were none of his business, letting Jia Zhangshi continue banging on the door.

He Daqing came over and asked, "Zhuzi, what do you think we should do about this?"

He Yuzhu said, "This is simple. Let's just watch the show and let Jia Zhangshi smash things up."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" He Daqing asked.

He Yuzhu shook his head and said, "Don't worry about it."

He Daqing quickly understood that He Yuzhu already had a plan in mind. Although he didn't know what He Yuzhu wanted to do, he didn't ask any more questions and retreated to his wife's side to wait.

Madam Jia cursed a few times, then noticed that the courtyard was very quiet. She turned around and saw that everyone was still there, and He Yuzhu was also there.

She was immediately stunned. Why was no one stopping her?

Given He Yuzhu's personality, there's absolutely no way he would allow himself to occupy these three rooms.

The fact that he's watching the commotion right now means he's brewing something bad.

"He Yuzhu, why didn't you stop me?"

He couldn't figure this out, and he felt a little uneasy. He Yuzhu was different from others; he was not only rich and powerful, but also the director of a machinery factory with 5,000 employees.

He Yuzhu said, "Then don't smash it."

Jia Zhangshi was bewildered and hesitant, wondering whether to continue smashing the door open or simply give up.

If they keep banging on the door, it's hard to know what He Yuzhu will do next.

But if I were to admit that the house belongs to He Yuzhu just because of this one sentence, then where would I live?

After some hesitation, Jia Zhangshi gritted her teeth, turned around, and smashed the brick in her hand against the door lock.

With a loud bang, the lock was smashed open. Jia Zhangshi opened the door, looked at the empty room, but was very excited. She picked up her clothes and went inside, then turned back and said:

“I don’t care about all that. This house is mine, and none of you can kick me out.”

He Daqing opened his mouth, about to speak, but then turned to look at He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu said, "Let's go home first."

He pulled He Daqing towards the Central Court, and everyone was stunned, thinking that a fierce battle was about to take place.

Seeing He Daqing and He Yuzhu walking ahead, followed by Wen Yuping carrying the child and He Yushui.

Only after they exited through the moon gate did everyone start discussing it.

"What's going on today? Why is he being so agreeable when we didn't stop him?"

"He doesn't want the house anymore?"

"Jia Zhangshi is a tough nut to crack, but Zhuzi isn't that afraid of her, is he?"

"The house we just bought has been occupied by Jia Zhangshi before we've even lived in it for a day. The He family is so pathetic!"

Everyone was talking about how He Yuzhu must have taken the wrong medicine today, as he didn't resist at all.

Once inside the house, He Daqing was seething with anger. He hadn't said anything earlier to save face for his son in front of everyone.

With no one else around, He Daqing asked, "What's wrong with you today?"

He Yuzhu retorted, "What good will it do to argue with him in the backyard?"

"Now that we've bought the house, of course we have to kick it out."

“If you kick him out today, she’ll smash your windows tomorrow. As long as she doesn’t find out, she’ll do everything she can to annoy you.”

He Daqing paused for a moment, then asked, "But we can't just let her live in the house; wouldn't that be a waste of money?"

He Yuzhu said, "There's no point in arguing later. Since Jia Zhangshi brought this upon herself, let's give her a good beating today."

Hearing He Yuzhu say this, He Daqing immediately became happy.

Yes, what we were just arguing about in the back was really pointless. Jia Zhangshi is definitely still not giving up and who knows what kind of trouble she'll cause later.

"Then what do you think we should do?"

“If someone breaks into a private residence, of course we should call the police and take Jia Zhangshi to the police station.”

"Huh? Is it that ruthless?" He Daqing asked.

"We must teach Jia Zhangshi a lesson she won't forget."

After He Yuzhu finished speaking, he went out the door and saw Liu Gen walking forward.

He beckoned to him and called him over.

"What's wrong, Brother Zhu?"

He Yuzhu took out 50 cents from his pocket and handed it over, saying, "Could you please go to the police station and tell them I have something to do? Please ask them to send two police officers over."

Liu Gen was stunned for a moment. He Yuzhu must be planning to deal with Jia Zhangshi by inviting the police officers over at this time.

Are you inviting them for drinks?

Liu Gen clutched the 50 cents tightly in his hand, agreed, and ran outside.

As expected of a big factory manager, he generously gave 5 cents.

Liu Gen ran all the way to the police station. When he mentioned He Yuzhu's name, the police officers there took it very seriously and reported it directly to Sun Tie.

Sun Tie directly arranged for two police officers to follow Liu Gen to the courtyard.

Liu Gen knew to avoid suspicion, so when he arrived at the door he didn't go in directly, but said he was going to the toilet and ran away first.

When the two police officers entered the front yard, everyone was stunned. Yan Bugui asked:

"What can I do for you two officers? I'm Uncle San from the courtyard."

"It's nothing, we're looking for Comrade He Yuzhu."

At first, Yan Bugui didn't think much of it, assuming it was something else at the police station. But when the two police officers walked into the hallway, he remembered that Jia Zhangshi had taken over He Yuzhu's house that day.

He immediately guessed that He Yuzhu had asked the police to come and find Jia Zhangshi.

He shouted, "Something terrible has happened! Old woman, come out quickly!"

Yang Ruihua ran out of the house and asked, "What's wrong?"

"This is terrible! He Yuzhu has invited two police officers over."

"what!"

Yang Ruihua exclaimed, "Could it be that they hired someone to arrest Jia Zhangshi?"

Yan Bugui said, "Could it be that they've come to invite them to dinner?"

The two people's shouts alerted other neighbors, who quickly came out—more than ten people in total.

They chattered away, then walked into the yard without prior arrangement.

He Yuzhu had been waiting at the door, and greeted the police officers as soon as they arrived.

After exchanging pleasantries, Guan Gong'an asked, "Director He, may I ask what this matter is about?"

He Yuzhu said, "I'm really sorry to trouble you two today. The main problem is that I bought a house, which is supposed to be used for filming in the backyard, but today Jia Zhangshi forcibly broke the lock and took over the place."

"Isn't Jia Zhangshi Xu Damao's wife?"

When Jia Zhangshi married Xu Damao, Xu Damao was just over 20 years old, while Zhang Cuihua was almost 50. Such an outrageous marriage naturally became the focus of everyone's discussion.

Even the busiest officers at the police station heard the news.

He Yuzhu said, "Xu Damao's family couldn't stand it anymore, so they sold the house to me, gave Zhang Cuihua 200 yuan, and then the two of them went through divorce proceedings today."

Now everything is clear. Xu Damao's house now belongs to He Yuzhu, and Xu Damao's wife, Jia Zhangshi, has regained her freedom.

He Yuzhu said, "It was Jia Zhangshi who was still being unreasonable today. She claimed that the house used to belong to her, so she broke the lock on my house and moved in without any fuss."

"Isn't this bullying?" Guan Gong said angrily.

The two were talking in the courtyard when Yi Zhonghai saw them and quickly came out.
