Courtyard House: My Wife is Xu Huizhen

Page 378

"I'd better hurry back and discuss this with your mother to see what we should do. I'm not in the mood for eating or drinking."

Xu Wude took Da Mao back. Before leaving, Da Mao still held a grudge against He Yuzhu and glared at him fiercely.

He Yuzhu said, "I'm going back too. We'll go to the hospital after we have dinner."

Xu Xiaomei nodded, escorted He Yuzhu to the door, and seeing that no one was around, she tiptoed and kissed him on the cheek before turning around and running back inside.

After He Yuzhu went home and had dinner, he told Xu Huizhen about what happened that day.

She said, "It's good for you to go and take a look. You can also report to the police station tomorrow that Xu Damao is too wicked. He somehow managed to make the other party believe that it was his father who did it."

"Okay, I'm going to the hospital now. I don't know when I'll be back tonight."

"If it gets too late, we'll go to sleep first."

"Okay, don't leave the door open for me, I'll climb over the wall to get in."

After leaving home, they went next door to call Xu Xiaomei, and the two of them rode their bicycles to the hospital.

First, they went to the nurses' station in the back of the inpatient department. He Yuzhu asked, "Comrade, may I ask which ward Yi Wending is in?"

The nurse on duty checked the form and said, "It's in room 403."

"Okay, thank you. May I ask where he was injured? I'm his coworker, and I only found out today that he was suddenly injured and was beaten up?"

"Yes, it must have been kicked in half."

The young and pretty nurse, who looked unmarried, suddenly blushed and whispered, "His genitals were broken by someone kicking them."

Chapter 276 I'm afraid he's lying to me

He Yuzhu was stunned for a moment. Xu Xiaomei, who was following behind, did not understand what "lower body" meant, so she asked, "Where are you injured?"

Faced with a girl's question, the nurse on duty became even more shy. How could she explain it?

What words can I use to make the other person understand?

He Yuzhu suppressed a laugh, thanked the nurse, and then took Xu Xiaomei's hand and left the nurses' station.

Xu Xiaomei then asked, "Brother Zhu, what do you mean by that?"

"Don't you know what a genital is?" He Yuzhu asked with a smile.

"Where on a person's body is there a place called the genitals?"

After saying that, Xu Xiaomei's face suddenly turned red. Only then did she realize what she meant, and she suddenly felt extremely embarrassed. She turned her head and walked forward.

He Yuzhu couldn't hold back any longer and burst into laughter.

The younger sister felt even more embarrassed and annoyed. She was so ashamed today; how could she have asked such a question? Why did she have to ask?

He Yuzhu laughed for a while and then ran a few steps to reach his younger sister's side. However, she was still sullen and ashamed of herself, so she just kept her head down and walked forward.

He Yuzhu grabbed her sleeve, and Xu Xiaomei struggled for a moment before saying, "Why are you pulling me?"

"Wrong way."

Xu Xiaomei then looked down at the number on the door; it read Room 208.

As expected, they went to the wrong place and had to be dragged by He Yuzhu to find the ward.

A moment later, they finally arrived outside ward 403. The door was half open, and they could see Yi Wending lying on the bed in a hospital gown, looking ashen-faced.

The white widow beside him was quietly trying to persuade him, but he just shook his head and stared blankly at the ceiling above him without saying a word.

He Yuzhu didn't knock, coughed once, and pushed the door open to enter the ward.

The white widow turned her head and saw He Yuzhu with the third son of the Xu family, and her face immediately tightened:

"What are you doing here?"

He Yuzhu said, "I came to see if he was dead. It's so disappointing, he can still breathe."

"Damn you, you idiot Zhu, you're the one who wants to..." The white widow was furious and was about to curse.

There were no outsiders here, so He Yuzhu wasn't going to put up with her. He stepped forward and was already in front of her when he raised his hand and slapped her across the face.

He said fiercely, "If you ever swear at someone again, I'll slap your face until it's shattered."

After being beaten, the white widow immediately covered her face with her hands, squatted down, and could no longer utter any more curses.

Yi Wending was a step too slow to react while lying in bed. After He Yuzhu had finished hitting him, he sat up straight and shouted, "Hey, you're bullying me!"

Ignoring the white widow sitting on the ground, He Yuzhu turned around, grabbed Yi Wending's wrist, twisted it, and pinned him to the bed, making it impossible for him to get up.

He Yuzhu said, "You guys better behave yourselves. I'm going to ask you all this, or don't blame me for being impolite."

"Let go of my son!" Widow Bai shouted, but instead of letting go, she stepped back. After all, He Yuzhu hit her hard, making her scream every time he hit her, showing no mercy at all.

Yi Wending was furious, but he had no choice but to submit. Even if he were in good health, let alone injured, he couldn't beat He Yuzhu even if both of them were together.

At this point, one can only back down, after all, a wise man doesn't fight a losing battle.

"Let go of me. Let's talk things out."

Seeing that he had given in, He Yuzhu finally let go and sat on the empty hospital bed next to him. The widow hesitated for a moment, then stood up and sat on the other side of the bed.

Xu Xiaomei then carried the net bag into the house and put the things on the bedside table.

He Yuzhu said, "Since you're still breathing, my good intentions won't be wasted. I brought you some pastries and canned goods. Don't say I don't know how to be polite."

Yi Wending rolled his eyes. That was really harsh. Now was not the time to argue about this. He asked, "What are you doing here?"

Since there's no way to resist, the only option is to submit, quickly meet his demands, and send He Weizhu back to avoid getting annoyed by him.

He Yuzhu asked, "Tell me again about being beaten."

Yi Wending had no choice but to recount what had happened.

A few days ago, Yi Zhonghai was afraid of being retaliated against by the He or Xu families, so he instructed his two brothers to try to go out as little as possible, and even if they did go out, it should only be during the day, so as not to wait until night when they were alone and could be caught by others.

The two brothers were also afraid, so they continued to live like this.

Xu Damao observed for a long time but couldn't figure out the pattern of the two going out, so he had to give up.

Over the past few months, the two brothers have become somewhat lax.

Recently, the two brothers were assigned to the rat-catching team and often needed to go out at night, which gave Xu Damao an opportunity.

After observing them for some time, we figured out their patterns.

After so much time had passed, the two brothers had let their guard down. That night, they went out to catch rats again. When they passed a secluded place, they were ambushed by two men who put sacks over their heads and beat them up.

The second son, Yi Wensheng, was alright; he only had some minor injuries, which were easily treated with some liniment.

But the eldest brother, Yi Wending, was in big trouble. Just before he left, he was kicked in the groin and was sent to the operating room.

He Yuzhu asked, "You two were covered in sacks from beginning to end, and you didn't even see who the other person was?"

Yi Wending nodded and said, "I didn't see it clearly."

He Yuzhu then asked, "Then why did you say it was He Daqing who did it?"

Yi Wending said, "Although we didn't get a clear look at what they looked like, they mentioned the name He Daqing when they were talking."

He Yuzhu asked, "Is that his accent?"

Yi Wending hesitated, wanting to say it was He Daqing himself, but Widow Bai said that He Daqing had witnesses, which could prove that He Daqing was not among the two people at the time.

He could only shake his head awkwardly and say, "It's not his voice."

He Yuzhu felt much more at ease. The fact was obvious: the two of them had put sacks over their heads and beaten the two brothers.

He deliberately mentioned He Daqing's name during the conversation, wanting the two people to believe that He Daqing had ordered the beating.

Even so, He Daqing is still a suspect, but there is no evidence to prove that He Daqing did the thing.

He Yuzhu said, "Do you two have any brains? People are saying it's He Daqing, so it's him who ordered it?"

"Who else could it be but him?" Yi Wending said angrily.

He Yuzhu said, "You're such a brainless pig. If I went out and killed someone, and then said that Yi Wending killed him before leaving, the police would just arrest you and take you to Xishan for target practice."

"you...."

"What do you mean, 'you'? Use your brain and think about it yourself. If I really wanted to beat you up, would I have made this mistake and deliberately mentioned your name?"

Yi Wending knew that this might be a false accusation against He Daqing, but if he didn't throw this mud at him, who else could he vent his anger on?

So they insisted that He Daqing was the one who did it, hoping to get him imprisoned and extort some money from him.

He hadn't expected He Yuzhu to react so quickly, stunning him in just a few moves, leaving him no choice but to tell the truth.

He Yuzhu was relieved after finding out what had happened. He Daqing had a witness, but it was unlikely that the other party would pin the blame on He Daqing just because they mentioned his name.

The best course of action is to find the real culprit so that I can completely clear my name and the Qing Dynasty's name.

This matter is not easy to handle and requires time to investigate. Although I suspect it is Xu Damao, I have no evidence.

After figuring out what had happened, He Yuzhu asked, "How badly are you injured?"

When Xu Xiaomei heard the question about Yi Wending's injury, she looked a little embarrassed, said that the room was a bit stuffy, and got up to leave.

The white widow was reluctant to talk, so she shouted, "What's it to you? My son is perfectly fine!"

"is it?"
