Courtyard House: My Wife is Xu Huizhen

Page 293

"I'll go back and get the bedding; you should get ready too."

"Ok."

He Yuzhu then went back to get his things. The two families usually went through the back door, which was convenient.

He came straight over with his luggage, and seeing that Xu Zhaodi was also ready, he said, "You go ahead, I'll keep watch."

"How many days will this take?" Xu Zhaodi asked as she reached out to undo He Yuzhu's belt.

"Let's switch like this for a couple of days and see. If Cheng Lao Er doesn't dare to cause trouble, then we'll switch back. What are you planning to do?"

Xu Zhaodi glanced at her with a flirtatious look, smiled, and said nothing.

He Yuzhu gasped and couldn't help but say, "How many times have I told you?"

Xu Zhaodi frowned, suppressing her nausea and closing her eyes.

Then she broke free from He Yuzhu's large hand on her shoulder and ran to fetch warm water.

She helped He Yuzhu wash up before leaving her home with her luggage.

Upon entering the neighboring courtyard, Xu Huizhen asked with a smile, "It took you so long; I thought you didn't want to come here."

Xu Zhaodi laughed and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm so grateful to you all. How could you have such thoughts? It's just that it was inconvenient for me to cook for myself earlier, so I ate late."

Xu Huizhen didn't think much of it, and the two women went into the inner room together to help her make the bedding.

Before we knew it, it was late at night. The noisy tavern had closed, and the alley was quiet as all the residents had gone to sleep.

However, Cheng Lao Er was still tossing and turning in bed, unable to fall asleep. Yesterday, he was full of enthusiasm, thinking that Xu Zhaodi was a divorced woman, and that as long as he showed that he wanted to marry her, she should be overjoyed to marry him.

Unexpectedly, he started cursing after hearing this, which shows how lacking in discipline he is.

After thinking it over carefully, Cheng Lao Er felt that the possibility of Xu Zhaodi wanting to marry him was probably not high.

He was seething with hatred for Xu Zhaodi; how dare this woman look down on him.

"Why don't we turn the raw rice into cooked rice?" This thought suddenly popped into Cheng Lao Er's mind.

Anyway, Xu Zhaodi was the only one living in that courtyard. If I went over the wall and went into the house, I could have done what a couple did with Xu Zhaodi.

Therefore, for the sake of her reputation, Xu Zhaodi had no choice but to grit her teeth and marry him.

After thinking about it for a long time, Cheng Lao Er felt that he had made the right choice.

Xu Zhaodi not only has a job, but also a backyard with a total of 9 rooms. What a wonderful daughter-in-law!

Thinking of this, Cheng Lao Er sat up in bed, put on his clothes, got out of bed, opened the door, and went straight to Xu Zhaodi's backyard.

It was past midnight, and there wasn't a soul in the alley. We arrived at the alley behind the tavern without encountering a single person.

Looking at the wall, which wasn't too high, they spat on their hands, rubbed them together, took a few running steps, and then jumped with great effort.

He grabbed the top of the wall with both hands, and with a push upwards, he straddled the top of the wall.

By this time, it was clear that none of the nine rooms were lit, so he jumped down from the wall.

Cheng Lao Er was quite shrewd; he first went to the back door and unlatched it, leaving both doors slightly ajar.

This is so that if things don't go your way and you don't have time to climb over the wall, you can quickly leave through the back door.

Then he took a deep breath to calm his excited heart and slowly walked to the outside of the main room.

Then he reached out and gently pushed the door open, and just as he had guessed, Xu Zhaodi hadn't locked it.

People who have their own yard usually only lock the gate and don't usually lock the door.

He Yuzhu was very alert when he slept, and he woke up when Cheng Lao Er jumped down from the wall.

Then he slowly put on his clothes, took out a wooden stick from his spatial storage, and waited quietly.

Sure enough, someone pushed the door open from the outside and tiptoed in.

Both sides were very cautious and dared not make a sound. When the figure got closer, He Yuzhu suddenly raised his wooden stick and struck the other person's leg at an angle.

"Ouch!" Cheng Lao Er cried out, then felt excruciating pain in his leg and could no longer stand. He collapsed to the side, clutching his right leg and wailing loudly, tears streaming down his face.

He Yuzhu remained silent, then raised the wooden stick and struck his other calf hard.

Although He Yuzhu had already used his mental power to check and confirmed that it was Cheng Lao Er, he still did not hold back.

The two sides were only nodding acquaintances. Besides, even if an acquaintance did such a thing, one would pretend not to know and would break both of his legs.

Cheng Lao Er's leg was broken again, and this time he couldn't bear the intense pain and fainted.

Even with his hands released, his legs remained unnaturally bent, forming a strange posture.

Cheng Lao Er's shouts were heard by the surrounding neighbors, but since it was none of their business, no one came out to check.

In the neighboring courtyard, Xu Zhaodi, suddenly in a different environment, couldn't sleep soundly. She was startled awake by Cheng Lao Er's first shout and then shook Xu Huizhen next to her.

"Sister-in-law, I can hear the squeals of a pig being slaughtered in my yard."

The dazed Xu Huizhen instantly snapped out of her daze and asked, "Really? Someone really climbed over the wall?"

"Yes, that's right. Thank you so much. If you hadn't reminded me, I would have been in serious trouble today."

Xu Zhaodi was filled with lingering fear. If Cheng Lao Er had ruined her body, her reputation would be ruined, and Zhu Zi Ge might not want her anymore.

“You and Zhuzi grew up together, and now we’re neighbors. Why are you being so polite? Hurry up and get dressed, let’s go see.”

"Hmm, I also want to see if it really is Cheng Lao Er."

The two quickly dressed, and seeing that Xiuer was still asleep in bed, they didn't disturb her. They helped each other out, carrying flashlights.

At this moment, He Yuzhu had found the gong and took it out to bang it vigorously.

At that time, the public security situation was very bad, and there were police officers and members of the joint security defense team patrolling the streets.

If residents make any more noise in their homes, the police will quickly arrive with officers.

Since phone calls are rare these days, this is the only way to call the police.

Moreover, residents who hear the noise will usually come to help, since no one knows what might happen to their own home that day and they might need help from others.

Soon, many neighbors got dressed and came over, asking what had happened.

He Yuzhu first clasped his hands in a fist and turned around to greet everyone before saying, "I'm really sorry to have woken everyone out of bed. This is a really big deal."

"Mr. He, why are you being so polite? We're all neighbors, and it's only right that we help each other out when one of us is in trouble."

"Yes, Mr. He, you've helped us before. What's going on today? Why did you come out of Xu Zhaodi's house?" Someone with sharp eyes noticed something was wrong and asked directly.

"Everyone, please don't misunderstand, please listen to me."

He Yuzhu quickly explained, "Xu Zhaodi discovered someone was following her when she left work today. She was quite frightened and then told my wife."

“My wife made Xu Zhaodi sleep with her and sent me to Xu Zhaodi’s house to stay with her.”

At this moment, Xu Huizhen and Xu Zhaodi also came out of the house after getting dressed and said, "Everyone is here, so we can turn around and take a look. Zhaodi and I sleep in the same room."

"Zhu Zi slept alone at Xu Zhaodi's house, just to guard the house for her."

Niu Ye stepped forward and said, "Everyone, please stop talking nonsense now. Boss He, he slept alone at Xu Zhaodi's house."

"We didn't make things up."

"Yes, Mr. He is truly kind and benevolent."

"Well done, Boss He."

Niu Ye then asked, "Boss He, is it true that thugs have broken in by banging the gong in the middle of the night?"

"Yes, I knocked him down with one blow. He should be unconscious and lying in the house."

"What? There really are bad guys?"

"Everyone, be more careful from now on. Make sure to close the doors and windows properly. Don't be careless, or something bad will happen."

When the shooting started, a policeman came over and stood outside the crowd, shouting, "Everyone, make way! What happened?"

"We've caught a rapist." That's what someone said to the police.

The police officer was startled and walked up to him, asking, "You've caught someone? Where is he?"

“He’s inside the house. I’ve already knocked him unconscious,” He Yuzhu replied.

"Take me to see this quickly," the police officer said hurriedly.

He Yuzhu extended his hand and said, "Please come with me."

The police officer and He Yuzhu walked side by side, followed by two auxiliary police officers, and then Uncle Niu and the other neighbors entered the courtyard.

At this moment, the national security officer had already placed his pistol in his hand to prevent any accidents from happening.

He Yuzhu also used his mental power to confirm that Cheng Lao Er was still unconscious and lying on the ground.

He Yuzhu entered the main room first, pulled the light cord, and the room instantly became bright.

People outside shielded themselves slightly with their hands before going inside.

As you can see, there is a figure lying on the floor of the inner room, but it is facing inwards and you cannot recognize who it is at first glance.

However, it can be seen that the two legs are positioned very unnaturally, at a strange angle, and it is obvious that both legs have been broken.

Everyone gasped, their gazes toward He Yuzhu becoming somewhat strange.

This person usually looks kind and always has a smile on his face, giving off an impression of "harmony brings wealth".
