Courtyard Houses: Starting with the principle of hard work paying off

Chapter 158 Yi Zhonghai Loses His Precious Child, the Sky Has Collapsed (4k)

"He Daqing, what have you done to my husband, Lao Yi?"

When He Daqing came out of the house and heard Yi Zhonghai's screams again, Wang Guihua's eyes turned red, and she wished she could rush up and fight him to the death.

Unfortunately.

Dong Congyou's apprentices blocked her way, preventing her from getting close to He Daqing.

"It's nothing, I just want to thank you both for taking care of Shazhu and Yushui for the past three years. I want to repay you."

If it weren't for the fact that Wang Guihua was a woman, He Daqing wouldn't have let her go either.

If Yi Zhonghai was the mastermind, then Wang Guihua was at least an accomplice and could not possibly be innocent.

"He Daqing!!"

Hearing He Daqing's words, Wang Guihua became even angrier.

Facing Wang Guihua, who was baring her teeth and claws as if about to pounce, He Daqing reminded her, "You still have the mood to argue with me? Shouldn't you be going to check on your Yi Zhonghai and see how he is doing?"

Reminded by He Daqing, Wang Guihua realized what was happening, glared at him resentfully, and quickly turned and ran back into her house.

"Boss!!"

"Old Yi, how are you?"

"Blood!!"

"Old Yi..."

"Stop...stop talking nonsense, get me to the hospital right away, it'll be too late if we wait any longer."

"Okay...I'll go right away."

"..."

Seeing the blood seeping from Yi Zhonghai's crotch, Wang Guihua was completely stunned and rushed out to find someone.

No matter what.

At this time of day, most of the men in the courtyard had gone out to work, leaving only housewives. Wang Guihua had to borrow a cart and ask a few people to help take Yi Zhonghai to the hospital.

……

the other side.

Just as Wang Guihua ran out to borrow a cart, He Daqing, Shazhu, and Dong Congyou, instead of leaving the courtyard, went into Shazhu's main room.

The monk may run away, but the temple cannot. Since He Daqing dared to take action, he must have already made all the necessary preparations.

"Da Qing, weren't you a little too heavy-handed just now?"

Inside the room, Dong Congyou looked worried and couldn't help but say, "We can go to the police station about Yi Zhonghai's matter. He'll definitely be in deep trouble. Once he's in jail, he'll lose his job at the steel mill. Why take such a big risk?"

Dong Congyou also took a peek at Yi Zhonghai's miserable state just now, and it was simply unbearable to look at.

Even if he doesn't die, what man could bear such harm and pain?
If he had known He Daqing would act so impulsively, he should have stopped him earlier.

At this moment, Dong Congyou was clearly filled with regret.

"not enough!"

He Daqing shook his head.

He knew, of course, that the solution Dong Congyou suggested was the safest approach.

But for him, it wasn't enough to vent his anger.

He wanted to remove Yi Zhonghai from his post and subject him to criticism and torment.

The most painful thing is to be worse off than dead.

He Daqing not only wanted to expose the hypocrite Yi Zhonghai's pretense in public, but also wanted to let him live on in agony while clinging to the last vestiges of hope.

He Daqing wanted Yi Zhonghai to pay for how he had tricked Sha Zhu, how he had alienated his father and son, and how he had treated Sha Zhu like a kitten or a puppy.

"But what if Yi Zhonghai and the others report the case to the police station..."

Although He Daqing's two kicks were not fatal to Yi Zhonghai, they nearly destroyed one of the most important parts of his body, which can be considered a serious injury.

Although they were inside the house with the door closed, none of them saw He Daqing make a move.

But there were only He Daqing and Yi Zhonghai inside. People outside could hear the commotion inside, so He Daqing couldn't deny it.

"I bet Yi Zhonghai wouldn't dare."

He Daqing looked at Dong Congyou, who was worried about him, and couldn't help but smile. He said, "Yi Zhonghai has gone to great lengths and done so many things, all in the hopes that someone can take care of him in his old age."

Once he reports the case and things go to court, even if I want to go in, he'll have to come with me.

According to what you said, once Yi Zhonghai is arrested, the steel mill will lose its job, which means losing everything.

When he comes out of there, what do you think he will do?
Could that mother and son from the Jia family possibly support a worthless, useless person in their old age?
Yi Zhonghai isn't stupid; he can definitely think of what we can think of.

I have Sha Zhu as my safety net, but Yi Zhonghai doesn't; he doesn't have the guts to gamble with me!

"But what if? After all, you crippled him down there. As a man, can he take that?"

Seeing He Daqing's calm demeanor, Dong Congyou was not so optimistic and couldn't help but sigh.

He Daqing acted too impulsively, abandoning a safer option in order to vent his anger.

“Anyway, Yi Zhonghai can’t have children, so there’s no point in keeping that thing. I might as well help him out. If he really has the courage to fight to the death, the worst outcome is that I’ll go in with him for a few years.”

After He Daqing finished speaking, he suddenly looked at Sha Zhu in the room and continued, "Anyway, after I get out, I have a skill, and Sha Zhu will support me, so at least I'll have something to eat, right?"

He's in the right. Even if he goes to the police station, He Daqing won't let Yi Zhonghai get away with it.

"dad!"

Upon hearing He Daqing's words, Sha Zhu's eyes reddened, and he immediately knelt down in front of He Daqing.

At this moment, Sha Zhu suddenly realized that He Daqing's earlier act of stopping him from attacking Yi Zhonghai was clearly a premeditated plan to protect him.

I haven't felt my father's love for three years, but this time it came so intensely.

this moment.

Sha Zhu hated Yi Zhonghai even more.

……

Outside the courtyard.

Wang Guihua and several others worked together to lift Yi Zhonghai onto a cart covered with quilts. Then, she said to Jia Zhangshi, who was standing nearby, "Sister-in-law, please go to the police station to report this case for us now. While He Daqing is still in the yard, hurry up and get the police to come and arrest this murderer. Don't let him get away."

As Wang Guihua spoke, her voice was filled with endless hatred.

He Daqing is simply too arrogant.

They committed a crime in public, turning their Yi Zhonghai into this state, and yet they still dare to swagger around and stay.

Just right.

Let the police come and arrest him.

at this time.

Yi Zhonghai, who had been gritting his teeth and enduring the pain on the cart, panicked when he heard Wang Guihua tell Jia Zhangshi to go to the police station to report the case. He quickly stopped her, saying, "No... don't report it!"

"Why? Lao Yi, He Daqing has ruined you like this, why won't you let me report it to the police?"

Wang Guihua found Yi Zhonghai's actions quite incomprehensible.

"You wretched woman, I told you not to call the police, so don't! Stop babbling! Get me to the hospital right now, what are you dawdling about?"

Yi Zhonghai was furious.

He certainly wanted the police to arrest He Daqing, but He Daqing had his confession in his hands. Once He Daqing went to jail, he would definitely not be able to escape either.

Such consequences are beyond his ability to bear.

Having no children means lacking the confidence that others should have.

Otherwise, why would he have gone to such lengths to cultivate Jia Dongxu and scheme against Sha Zhu over the past few years?

only.

There are still outsiders present, and there are some things that Yi Zhonghai cannot conveniently say to Wang Guihua.

"This... Master Dongxu, should I still report this to the police?" Seeing that Yi Zhonghai and Wang Guihua were at odds and almost got into an argument, Jia Zhangshi hesitated.

"Don't report it! Take me to the hospital first!"

Gritting his teeth, Yi Zhonghai persisted.

Seeing this, Wang Guihua had no choice but to compromise, no matter how unwilling she was.

As the head of the family, Yi Zhonghai was always respected and his word was law. Wang Guihua actually had no say in the matter.

Arrived at the hospital.

The nurses and doctors naturally learned about Yi Zhonghai's injuries immediately, but the results left them completely bewildered.

"What's the patient's condition? Where is he injured?"

"The wound... there..."

"Please be more specific about where that is."

"that is……"

"How did you get hurt there? How did you get hurt like that?"

"I accidentally bumped into a telephone pole..."

"Collide……"

"..."

soon.

After the doctor's initial understanding and diagnosis, the nurse went directly to Wang Guihua and said, "You are the injured person's family member, right? The injured person's injury in that area is severe and needs to be removed. We need to tell you this. If you agree, we will arrange for surgery immediately."

"Huh? You want to cut it off?"

Wang Guihua was completely stunned.

Seeing this, the nurse explained directly, "We will try our best to preserve the good parts and minimize the impact on the injured person's future life, but we can only see how things go."

"This is such a big matter, I can't make the decision on my own. Can I discuss it with our head of the household before making a decision?"

Hesitant, Wang Guihua couldn't help but make a request.

"There's no time to lose. The injured person was already unconscious when they arrived, and the location of the injury is sensitive. If you don't make a decision soon..."

The nurse looked at Wang Guihua, understanding her predicament, but could only say helplessly, "If this drags on, the situation will worsen, and a bacterial infection could occur, potentially jeopardizing his life. Then..."

"Then... let's cut it!"

Wang Guihua couldn't understand the technical explanations, but when she heard that Yi Zhonghai's life might be in danger if he didn't have surgery immediately, she had no choice but to make the decision.

She simply couldn't imagine whether she would be able to face this reality once Yi Zhonghai woke up and learned about the situation.

Time slipped away amidst the torment.

After waiting in the corridor outside the operating room for nearly an hour, as soon as the doctor came out, Wang Guihua rushed up and asked, "Doctor, how is my husband, Lao Yi?"

Are you a family member of the injured person?

After confirming the question, the doctor, who had removed his mask, did not directly answer Wang Guihua's question, but instead asked, "Do you and your husband have children now?"

"no!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Guihua subconsciously shook her head, but then couldn't help asking in confusion, "Doctor, why are you asking this?"

"You need to be mentally prepared..."

Upon hearing Wang Guihua's answer, the doctor couldn't help but sigh and comfort her, saying, "Because your husband's damage is quite severe, we can only perform an excision. If we don't remove those parts, they will become necrotic and endanger his life."

Although he will lose the ability to have sex and have children, at least his life has been saved and he is not in immediate danger. We have done our best to preserve his ability to urinate, but there will still be some impact. We will try to help him adapt as much as possible..."

Although Wang Guihua had learned some information from the nurse earlier and had anticipated this outcome, she still couldn't accept it when it became a reality.

Seeing Wang Guihua like this, the doctor couldn't offer any further comfort. He sighed and left silently.

As a doctor, I've seen life and death, let alone this kind of thing.

However, this situation is indeed a heavy blow to patients and their families.

Not long after Yi Zhonghai was taken to the ward, Jia Dongxu also arrived.

With such a serious incident involving Yi Zhonghai, Jia Dongxu, as his apprentice, naturally couldn't be absent. So, after helping Wang Guihua take Yi Zhonghai to the hospital, Jia Zhangshi hurriedly went to the steel rolling mill to tell him about the situation.

Enter the ward.

Looking at Yi Zhonghai, who was still unconscious on the hospital bed, Jia Dongxu looked at Wang Guihua and couldn't help but ask, "Master... how is Master?"

"Your master... is alright for now. The doctor said he is not in any immediate danger."

Just as she was about to tell the truth, Wang Guihua hesitated for a moment and decided not to.

It concerns Yi Zhonghai's reputation and his dignity as a man. Even though Jia Dongxu is Yi Zhonghai's apprentice, Wang Guihua still can't be completely honest with him about this.

"Was it He Daqing who did it?"

On the way here, Jia Dongxu had already learned what had happened, so he said to Wang Guihua, "That idiot Zhu, I knew he was no good. My master always treated him so well, and this ungrateful wretch... the moment his father came back, he... I'm going to settle accounts with them..."

"Dongxu, don't be impulsive!"

Just as Jia Dongxu was about to go back to settle scores with Sha Zhu and He Daqing, seeking revenge for Yi Zhonghai, Wang Guihua quickly stopped him and said, "Let's wait until your master wakes up before discussing this matter!"

Upon hearing this, Jia Dongxu paused slightly, then turned back to Wang Guihua and asked, "Has this been reported to the police? I'll go to the police station to seek justice for my master."

"Dongxu, don't alarm the police station about this. This is your master's wish."

Seeing how nervous and attentive Jia Dongxu was to Yi Zhonghai, Wang Guihua, who was originally feeling upset, felt a little comforted.

Yi Zhonghai did not take Jia Dongxu as his apprentice in vain.

With Jia Dongxu's appearance and these actions, Wang Guihua felt a sense of security and was no longer alone and helpless.

It was only at this moment that Wang Guihua realized more deeply how important it was to have younger generations to support and care for her in her old age.

No wonder Yi Zhonghai went to such lengths to do those things before.

Unfortunately.

They set their sights on Sha Zhu, but their scheme was exposed, and they brought back He Daqing, who was their father, only to end up like this.

Given Yi Zhonghai's current condition, he wouldn't wake up anytime soon. Wang Guihua originally planned to let Jia Dongxu go back first, but Jia Dongxu insisted on staying here with him. Seeing his master, Yi Zhonghai, wake up again moved Wang Guihua deeply.

Yi Zhonghai finally woke up that evening.

"Master! You're awake?"

"I am Dongxu!"

"Dongxu..."

"Honey, you're finally awake! I was so worried!"

"Guihua, what's wrong with me right now?"

“You… Dongxu, your master just woke up. The doctor told him to drink some sugar water. Take this money and go out to buy some canned fruit for your master.”

"..."

When Yi Zhonghai asked about his own situation, Wang Guihua found an excuse to send Jia Dongxu away first.

"Guihua, am I...?"

Yi Zhonghai naturally noticed something from Wang Guihua's actions and, sensing his own physical condition, panicked.

After Jia Dongxu left, Yi Zhonghai's gaze fell on Wang Guihua's face. Feeling frightened, he asked with a hint of hope, "I don't feel anything down there. Is the anesthesia still working?"

"Honey, your lower body... is gone."

"Huh?! What did you say?"

"What did you say is gone?"

"Wang Guihua, what have I lost?"

"Old Yi, don't get agitated, keep your voice down..."

"..."
