Courtyard House: She got anxious when He Yushui wasn't licked.

When He Yuzhu saw Jia Banggeng, he smiled and said to Jia Banggeng, "Banggeng, your mother brought back five catties of fat. Why didn't you go back and wait to eat meat? What are you doing here? Are you playing hide-and-seek with your sister?"

Jia Banggeng never expected He Yuzhu to be so foolish. He would run to He Yuzhu's place to play hide-and-seek, of course he was there to steal something! However, he wasn't stupid enough to say it out loud, so he said, "That's right! I was playing hide-and-seek with my sister."

He Yuzhu didn't care. What bad intentions could a half-grown boy like Jia Banggeng have?

After He Yuzhu left, Jia Banggeng rummaged through He Yuzhu's small room, carelessly tossing his clothes and pants aside.

He Yuzhu arrived at the door of He Yushui's side room, pushed the door open and asked, "He Yushui, did you rummage through my room?"

He Yushui was sitting at the table deep in thought when she heard this. She looked up at He Yuzhu and sneered, "Who else would go to your pigsty besides your Sister Qin? As for what's stolen, who else could it be but Qin Huairu's family?"

He Yuzhu frowned, wondering what He Yushui meant. He slammed his hand on the table and said, "He Yushui, are you afraid to admit your mistakes? Does Sister Qin think she can just rummage through my room? She's only cleaning for me."

He Yushui was truly amused by He Yuzhu's foolishness. She stood up and pushed He Yuzhu out of the side room, saying, "Get out! Go find your Widow Qin! I don't have a brother like you!"

"You've gone too far!"

He Yuzhu raised his hand to hit He Yushui.

"Go ahead and hit me!"

He Yushui brought her face close to He Yuzhu's so he could hit her.

"You think I wouldn't dare to hit you!" He Yuzhu was furious and slapped him across the face.

"Slap!" A clear handprint appeared on He Yushui's face.

"This slap marks the end of our brother-sister relationship! From now on, you go your way and I'll go mine." He Yushui's eyes were filled with hatred. She never imagined that He Yuzhu would even hit his own sister for a widow.

"I..." He Yuzhu regretted it as soon as he hit her, but he quickly hardened up and said, "You did something wrong but you didn't admit it and tried to shift the blame to Sister Qin. You deserve to be hit for that."

"Sister Qin, Sister Qin, you only have eyes for that widow! What kind of spell has she cast on you?" He Yushui broke down in tears.

The argument between the two siblings attracted the attention of the neighbors in the compound, including Xu Damao, who had been waiting for He Yuzhu for a long time.

Chapter 124 Xu Damao Seeks Compensation from He Yuzhu

"He Yuzhu!"

Xu Damao charged over like a mad dog, his eyes bloodshot, as if the person in front of him was his father's killer.

He Yuzhu was frightened by Xu Damao's appearance, and he subconsciously raised his leg and kicked out.

Xu Damao didn't expect this guy to be so uncivilized; he was caught off guard and kicked in the groin again.

"what!"

In that instant, Xu Damao felt excruciating pain. He clutched his crotch and rolled on the ground, howling in agony.

"What's wrong with Xu Damao?"

"Did he get kicked by Sha Zhu again?"

When the other neighbors came out to see what was happening, Xu Damao was rolling on the ground, He Yuzhu was standing there stunned, and He Yushui had forgotten to cry.

An old man named Yi Zhonghai returned from visiting an old woman's parents' home. He tried everything to please her and made all sorts of promises, but the old woman remained unmoved and even threatened to become a nun.

In a fit of anger, Yi Zhonghai agreed to divorce the old lady and said he would go to the neighborhood office to handle it the next day. He refused to believe that, given his status as an old man in the courtyard and one of the two level-eight fitters in the factory, he could find someone to serve him.

Yi Zhonghai's pride made him arrogant. He thought that with his high salary, he could just remarry, since the old woman was getting old and losing her looks anyway.

He had just returned to the yard when he came across Xu Damao rolling around on the ground, and when he looked at He Yuzhu, he was completely dumbfounded.

"Ah! He Yuzhu hit someone!"

Qin Jingru then burst into a loud scream.

Xu Damao's face was flushed, and he gritted his teeth. He shouted to Qin Jingru, "Go call the police."

Qin Jingru hurriedly agreed and then prepared to call the police.

He Yuzhu instinctively wanted to stop Qin Jingru from calling the police. He had just returned and hadn't even had a bite of the food Qin Huairu had prepared before she was being taken back. This was ridiculous.

Yi Zhonghai couldn't let Qin Jingru report the case to the police station either. What if He Yuzhu, in his stupidity, implicated him? Wouldn't he then be held jointly liable?

Just as Qin Jingru turned to leave, He Yuzhu and Yi Zhonghai moved together to stop her.

Qin Jingru was stopped by the two men, and she asked fearfully, "What do you want to do?"

He Yuzhu stammered, "I didn't mean to. I just accidentally kicked him. He charged at me like a mad dog. It's not entirely my fault."

Yi Zhonghai chimed in, "This is just a common misunderstanding. There's no need to bother the police station. They're too busy. We three gentlemen will handle this little matter."

Everyone felt that Yi Zhonghai's words made sense, so no one raised any objections.

Although no one raised any objections, this college-wide meeting really put Yi Zhonghai in a difficult position. If Wang Lin came, he would definitely cause trouble; if he wasn't invited, people would think he was afraid of Wang Lin.

Xu Damao recovered and got up from the ground, pointing at He Yuzhu and saying, "Idiot Zhu! I went to the hospital for a checkup, and the doctor said that I was kicked and crippled since I was a child. Only you could kick my genitals. Now I am infertile, and you have to take responsibility."

The neighbors in the compound were just watching the drama unfold when they stumbled upon such a huge bombshell!

He Yuzhu, with an expression of "I'm not afraid of boiling water," said, "When we were kids, who knew anything about these things when we were fighting? Besides, you deserved to be beaten, so I kicked you. It's only because God has eyes that you can't have children now."

After hearing He Yuzhu's outrageous words, Xu Damao knew he couldn't win an argument with him, so he said directly, "I'm going to the police station to report this. I refuse to believe I can't deal with you."

Upon hearing this, He Yuzhu and Yi Zhonghai became agitated and rushed forward to stop Xu Damao.

At this moment, Wang Lin rushed over from the backyard to watch the commotion. When he saw He Yuzhu and Yi Zhonghai trying to stop Xu Damao from calling the police, he was the first to object and kicked He Yuzhu, who was blocking the way, away.

Before He Yuzhu could react, he was kicked and sent flying backward, crashing to the ground.

Seeing He Yuzhu being kicked out, Yi Zhonghai shouted, "Wang Lin! What are you doing?"

Wang Lin replied with a smile, "Of course it's because I can't stand you ganging up on people! Yi Zhonghai, you've stopped Xu Damao from calling the police time and time again. What's wrong with you? Did you give him the idea to kick Xu Damao in the groin?"

A hit!

Wang Lin's words made Yi Zhonghai break out in a cold sweat instantly!

How did Wang Lin find out?

No! He's probably just guessing, a lucky guess. As long as he doesn't admit it, Wang Lin can't do anything about it.

"Outrageous!" Yi Zhonghai pointed at Wang Lin and cursed, "Harmony is the most important thing in this compound. How come you're the one who disrupts the unity of the compound? The New Year is almost here. Can't you hope for a better future for everyone in the compound? Are you happy that we're all enemies and never speak to each other again?"

Wang Lin retorted, "Oh, Yi Zhonghai, I wonder if you managed to persuade that old lady to come back? She's an old woman with health problems who can't have children!"

The last sentence was like rubbing Yi Zhonghai in the ground!

"Wang Lin! You..."

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai felt his blood pressure spike. He was so angry that his heart, liver, and lungs ached, yet he was powerless to do anything about Wang Lin. This feeling was extremely frustrating.

"An old man has a health problem and can't have children? Didn't he say it was an old woman with a health problem?"

"I think I saw an old lady leaving the yard with big bags and small bags. Could what Wang Lin said be true?"

"This old man looks strong and healthy, how come he can't have children?"

The neighbors in the compound started talking amongst themselves, and many of them no longer looked at Yi Zhonghai with the same respect, but with suspicion and conjecture.

This is exactly the effect Wang Lin wanted—to make Yi Zhonghai die in front of everyone.

With red eyes, Yi Zhonghai stared at Wang Lin as if he wanted to devour him. He was so angry and cold that he wanted to punch Wang Lin's hateful face. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He was blinded by anger and raised his hand to punch Wang Lin.

As expected, Wang Lin stepped back, and Yi Zhonghai's fist couldn't reach Wang Lin's face. Instead, it showed everyone another side of Yi Zhonghai.

"Lao Yi!"

Hearing the commotion, the third uncle, Yan Bugui, rushed over and woke up Yi Zhonghai.

Looking at his missed punch and the shocked crowd around him, Yi Zhonghai realized that he had lost his temper and immediately tried to play the good guy, explaining, "I couldn't control my emotions just now and made a fool of myself in front of everyone. It's my fault, I apologize."

Knowing that a true man can bend and stretch, Fan Yizhonghai immediately apologized in an attempt to salvage his public image.

Wang Lin arrogantly said to Yi Zhonghai, "Oh dear, that punch was just a hair's breadth away from hitting me, what a pity!"

So annoying!

Yi Zhonghai really wanted to punch Wang Lin, that bastard who had provoked him countless times, to death!

Wang Lin, not one to shy away from stirring things up, added fuel to the fire: "Xu Damao, why aren't you reporting this to the police? Do you expect these three old guys to be on the same page and outsmart you?"

"Qin Jingru, let's go and report this to the police."

Xu Damao knew that his second and third uncles would definitely be controlled and threatened by Yi Zhonghai, the old man with no descendants, and would be used as opportunists. They were completely unreliable, so he still decided to call the police.

Chapter 125 Exorbitant Demands: House and Money

He Yuzhu got up from the ground and raised his hand to stop Xu Damao, saying, "Xu Damao, don't report this to the police. Just name your price, and I'll pay."

Now is not the time to play the hero. He Yuzhu also has to bow his head. As long as Xu Damao takes the money, signs and stamps the document, then he can no longer threaten him with this matter.

Xu Damao pointed at He Yuzhu's house and said to He Yuzhu, "I'm already childless, so you have to compensate me with your house, plus two thousand yuan."

"You want my house and two thousand yuan in compensation? Are you out of your mind?"

When He Yuzhu heard that Xu Damao was actually after his house, he immediately objected. This was his only property, which he was going to leave to his son in the future. How could he possibly give it to Xu Damao, who had no descendants?

"It's fine if you don't pay, but I guarantee you'll win the lawsuit!" Wang Lin strongly supported Xu Damao.

“Yes! You won’t pay! Then let’s go to court. Anyway, I have the upper hand and I have the evidence.” Xu Damao had a look of complete confidence on his face.

"Wang Lin! This is none of your business, go back and stay there." He Yuzhu clenched his fists and glared at Wang Lin, this meddlesome guy. If Wang Lin hadn't kicked him aside and stood up for Xu Damao, he would have already suppressed Xu Damao.

"Hey everyone, listen to this, look at this! This is Yi Zhonghai's favored eldest son! When did our courtyard become a one-man show for the father and son?" Wang Lin started to speak sarcastically, showing his love for stirring up trouble. In addition to fanning the flames, he also wanted to overturn the table.

"It seems Wang Lin is right. Xu Damao is also from our compound. If Wang Lin can't manage him, then we definitely can't manage him either."

"That's right, that's right, I think Wang Lin is right, this place is almost a one-man show."

People also began to feel dissatisfied with He Yuzhu and Yi Zhonghai.

Seeing this trend, Yi Zhonghai knew that if he didn't control it, he would get himself into trouble. He looked at his second and third uncles with pleading eyes.

Second Uncle Liu Haizhong also wanted to get involved, but with his overloaded pig brain, it would be better to let him go back and rest than to let him get involved.

Uncle Yan Bugui knew that things were too complicated today, and he dared not get involved. If he wasn't careful, he would be tricked by Wang Lin.

In particular, the two old men, seeing the warning look in Wang Lin's eyes, gave Yi Zhonghai a helpless look in response.

Looking at Wang Lin, Yi Zhonghai thought to himself, "How long has it been? Wang Lin has grown to this level. He must be eliminated!"

Xu Damao didn't have that kind of patience. He looked at He Yuzhu and asked, "Silly Zhu, either you compensate for the house and money, or you go to court. Anyway, I, Wang Lin, have many brothers and friends. He guarantees I'll win."
