Courtyard House: My Wife is Xu Huizhen

Page 127

"Yeah, he wouldn't tell me before, so who knows?"

After chatting for a while, He Yuzhu went directly into the Intermediate People's Court.

Upon entering, he frowned. He hadn't been back for a while, and now his own doorway had been secured with wire and several bamboo poles, which were being used to dry clothes.

He Yuzhu stepped forward to dismantle it; it was all made of iron bars, which could be easily twisted off.

"Who is it? What do you want?" Jia Dongxu's voice came from beside me.

He Yu stopped, turned around, and said, "Why are you criticizing me? Who told you to set this up here?"

The Jia Dongxu before me was different from before; he seemed much more mature, and there was no trace of the damage Qian Datong had done to him, which was quite strange.

"It was you? You damned idiot Zhu, wasn't it you who reported it?"

When Jia Dongxu was arrested, he was still in a daze. Even during the interrogation and sentencing, he still didn't know what the problem was.

I always thought that my superiors found out why I was arrested and sentenced by the police on my wedding day.

Just recently, when he was about to be released from prison, He Yuzhu brought him clothes and daily necessities. When Jia Dongxu asked him about it, Qian Datong lied and said that these things were sent by He Yuzhu.

Their two families weren't particularly close to begin with, so why would He Yuzhu send Qian Datong gifts?

When asked again, Qian Datong wouldn't say anything more. However, Jia Dongxu still guessed that he was arrested because He Yuzhu reported him.

Without waiting for a reply, Jia Dongxu clenched his fist and charged at He Yuzhu.

Jia Dongxu wasn't just sitting around in prison; he had to do a lot of work every day.

The labor intensity was much heavier than in the steel rolling mill, but I also developed a lot of strength.

In Jia Dongxu's mind, he was no longer the same person he used to be, and beating He Yuzhu would be a piece of cake.

Unfortunately, Jia Dongxu miscalculated.

He Yuzhu took two steps forward and then kicked Jia Dongxu in the chest.

He kicked Jia Dongxu directly, sending him flying backward at an even faster speed than before.

He pressed down directly on Qin Huairu as she was leaving the house.

"Ouch."

Qin Huairu had just come out when she saw two people fighting. She rushed over, but unexpectedly, Jia Dongxu flew backward and hit her.

The two of them rolled around in a ball, becoming like gourds rolling on the ground.

The two of them groaned and cried out in pain, while Jia Dongxu struggled to get up and confront He Yuzhu.

Qin Huairu clung to his arm, crying and pleading, "Stop fighting!"

"Let go, I'm going to teach him a lesson today."

Jia Dongxu was still unconvinced, thinking that he had only been careless and fallen into He Yuzhu's trap.

He struggled to his feet and then charged forward again.

This time he was very careful, rushing up to them and swinging his hand to strike.

He Yuzhu raised his arm to block, then punched Jia Dongxu in the face.

Jia Dongxu felt a sweet taste in his mouth and couldn't help but open his mouth and spit out a mouthful of hot blood, along with two teeth.

Jia Dongxu bumped into Qin Huairu's arms again, and the two rolled around in each other's arms.

"You damned idiot Zhu, why did you hit our Dongxu? I...I...um!"

Hearing the commotion, Granny Zhang came out and saw Dongxu being beaten.

He wanted to fight He Yuzhu to the death, but was afraid of being beaten, so he could only shout at the top of his lungs:

"Help! Sha Zhu has killed someone! Help! Sha Zhu has killed someone!"

"If you call me 'Silly Pillar' again, I'll beat you up too."

He Yuzhu quickly tried to scare him.

Granny Zhang had become cunning; she never went near He Yuzhu, so even if He Yuzhu wanted to hit her, he couldn't reach her.

Yi Zhonghai had already heard some noise and was wondering what was going on. He was the first to run out when he heard Granny Zhang's shouts.

Just shout:

"Zhu Zi, what are you doing? Why did you hit Dong Xu for no reason as soon as you got back?"

"What do you mean by 'for no reason'? It was Jia Dongxu who wanted to hit me, and I was just retaliating."

Where did Jia Dongxu hit you?

Yi Zhonghai countered with a question.

"Why can I only fight back when he hits me? Besides, what happened to the area in front of my house? It's become like this after I haven't been here for a few days?"

Jia Dongxu made the first move, but there were no witnesses or physical evidence, so He Yuzhu didn't want to say anything more about it.

However, it's obvious that several bamboo poles were tied to the front of my house, so I can use that as an excuse.

“But you can’t hit people, can you?” Yi Zhonghai said.

“Old Yi, don’t think that just because you’ve become the head of the management office you can turn black into white. It was me who wanted to dismantle this bamboo pole, and Jia Dongxu came over to beat me up.”

“I didn’t see it before and don’t know the specifics, but now it’s Jia Dongxu who’s being beaten, and you’re perfectly fine.”

Yi Zhonghai's buttocks were still crooked, though he didn't see it, he understood it in his heart.

Today's incident must be because Jia Dongxu is unconvinced. He feels that after a year of training in prison, both his strength and fighting skills have reached a new level, and he feels like he's good again.

He had repeatedly expressed his intention to teach He Yuzhu a lesson while drinking with him. He guessed that it was He Yuzhu who reported him, which led to Jia Dongxu's imprisonment.

"You are Jia Dongxu's master, of course you will speak on his behalf. Let's not talk about this for now. I just want to ask you, how do you manage the yard? Why did you tie these bamboo poles to the front of my house?"

“You don’t live here either, so tying up bamboo poles is just for everyone to hang their clothes to dry. There’s nothing wrong with that.”

He Yuzhu retorted angrily, "Stop spouting nonsense. Why don't you tie yourself to your own doorstep? Who said I'm not living here anymore? I'll move back right away, and if I don't like someone, I'll drag them over and beat them up."

This house is an ancestral home and will not be sold or rented unless absolutely necessary. He Yuzhu was mainly busy making furniture recently, so the interval was a bit long, and he only came back to clean it again.

Jia Dongxu said angrily, "He Yuzhu, stop pretending here. I went in because you reported me."

He Yuzhu asked, "So what if I reported it? So what if I didn't? What's the difference between you forcibly occupying someone else's house and the bandits and thugs of the past? You broke the law, so why can't people talk about it?"

"I knew it was you. You just wait, you'll be in for it."

Jia Dongxu has now come to terms with the facts. Although he has improved his martial arts skills, he is still no match for He Yuzhu. All he can do is make a quick, loud noise.

"Pah, what a piece of trash! How dare she want to go in and become Qian Datong's wife?"

Although everyone was talking about Jia Dongxu's ordeal, no one spoke of it openly, because such a thing was simply too disgraceful.

Upon hearing the serious words, Jia Dongxu's face turned pale and then purple with anger. He picked up half a brick from the ground and rushed towards He Yuzhu.

Qin Huairu tried to pull her back, but couldn't stop her.

He Yuzhu chuckled twice, then said, "Pah!"

A glob of phlegm sprayed directly onto Jia Dongxu's face, covering one eye.

Then, as Jia Dongxu's momentum slowed, He Yuzhu seized the opportunity, raised his leg again, and kicked Jia Dongxu in the chest, sending him flying backward once more.

Yi Zhonghai: "He Yuzhu, why are you still hitting people?"

The title is "Recipe," which is a typo. It cannot be modified after publication.

"Old Yi, are you blind? Can't you see that Jia Dongxu is holding a brick?"

"Are you blind? You can't just start a fight!"

"Everyone saw it, Jia Dongxu was touching the bricks. I was just defending myself. Old Yi only blames me and hasn't said a word about Jia Dongxu's matter. Can someone like that be the head of the management office?"

Since the conflict between Jia Dongxu and He Yuzhu, neighbors from both the front and back yards have gathered to watch the commotion, and there are dozens of adults and children here now.

"Yeah, how can you be so biased?"

"Jia Dongxu is, after all, Lao Yi's apprentice; they're family, so of course they'll show favoritism."

"That doesn't mean you can be so unreasonable."

"Yeah, they're fighting with bricks, and they're not even allowed to fight back?"

There were all sorts of opinions, and their voices weren't quiet, so Yi Zhonghai could hear them, and his face immediately darkened.

Liu Haizhong also stepped forward and said, "Old Yi, you have to be fair in your dealings. You can't favor them just because Jia Dongxu is there."

"You can't just hit someone like that!" Yi Zhonghai muttered.

He Yuzhu said, "Old Yi, are you saying that it's okay to hit people with bricks?"

"You..." Yi Zhonghai was furious.

"Alright, Uncle Yi, I think we should just let this matter drop. Everyone go home." Seeing that He Yuzhu had gotten the better deal and hadn't suffered any losses, Yan Bugui tried to defuse the situation and calm things down.

Qin Huairu had wanted to hide for a long time, since it was obvious that Jia Dongxu was no match for He Yuzhu. It would be embarrassing to stay here any longer. She pulled the unwilling Jia Dongxu back into the house quietly, and then pulled her mother-in-law back in as well.

Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui offered a few words of advice, but Yi Zhonghai glanced at Jia Dongxu and his two children and realized they were gone. He then stormed off in a huff.
