Courtyard House: Purchasing Agents' Comeback from the Great Famine

When the doctor saw that the patient had fainted from fright, he pinched the philtrum and Sha Zhu woke up.

Sha Zhu opened his eyes and looked at the doctor anxiously, asking, "Doctor, you were lying to me, weren't you? I don't need surgery, right?"

The doctor sighed: "Comrade He Yuzhu, it's true, your area is completely necrotic. You must have surgery to remove it as soon as possible, otherwise you will get infected. If you insist on not doing it, your life will be in danger. You should make a decision as soon as possible."

"Comrade He Yuzhu, please tell me your home address first, and I will have someone notify your family. In your condition, it's unacceptable for someone to be left unattended."

Upon hearing this, Sha Zhu was utterly devastated. He clenched his fists tightly and tears of despair streamed down his face.

After a while, Sha Zhu calmed down and told the doctor Yi Zhonghai's address.

After the doctor left, Sha Zhu stared blankly at the ceiling.

......

The Intermediate People's Court, the Yi family.

Yi Zhonghai had already finished dinner and was sitting in the house in a daze.

His mindset has calmed down a lot in the past few days. He has figured it out. In addition to taking revenge on Qin Huairu, he also wants to do his best to cultivate Sha Zhu.

He had always thought Bang Geng was his son. Many people said behind his back that he was childless, but he wasn't very angry because he knew he had a son. But now he really is childless.

He never imagined that Jia Dongxu and Bang Geng would take care of him in his old age; now, only Sha Zhu is someone he can rely on.

"Knock knock knock".

"Excuse me, is this the home of Yi Zhonghai?"

Yi Zhonghai opened the door and saw a nurse. He asked, puzzled, "I'm Yi Zhonghai, nurse. What can I do for you?"

"Hello, Comrade Yi Zhonghai. I am a nurse from Peking Union Medical College Hospital. Comrade He Yuzhu was attacked last night and is seriously injured. He needs someone to go to the hospital to take care of him. Comrade He Yuzhu gave the hospital your address so that you could go to the hospital to see him. Comrade Yi Zhonghai, you should go to the hospital as soon as possible."

After saying that, the nurse left.

Upon hearing the nurse's words, Yi Zhonghai's heart skipped a beat, and he prepared to take the money to the hospital to see Sha Zhu.

"Old Yi, who is it?" an older woman asked as she came out of the kitchen.

"Shufen, come with me to the hospital quickly. Shazhu has been beaten up and is in the hospital. I heard his injuries are very serious."

Yi Zhonghai told the old lady what he was doing, took the money from the room, and hurriedly left with her.

Seeing Yi Zhonghai's anxious expression, Yan Fugui stepped forward and asked:

"Old Yi, what does the nurse want with you? Why are you in such a hurry with this old lady? Where are you going?"

"Shazhu got beaten up and is in the hospital, Lao Yan. I have to go to the hospital now."

After saying that, Yi Zhonghai didn't chat with Yan Fugui any longer and hurriedly headed towards the hospital with the older woman.

"Shazhu got beaten up and ended up in the hospital, hahaha, great! Finally someone avenged me." Yan Fugui laughed heartily, feeling extremely pleased.

Yan Fugui went back to his room and told the three Yan brothers about how Shazhu had been beaten and hospitalized. They were all very happy to hear this.

Especially the third aunt, who was kicked hard by Sha Zhu a while ago and was in pain for several days. Now that she heard that Sha Zhu had been beaten into the hospital, she couldn't stop smiling.

Soon, the news that Sha Zhu had been beaten and hospitalized spread throughout the hospital.

Most people laughed and watched the spectacle, but Qin Huairu's eyes showed worry.

Being beaten and hospitalized by Sha Zhu won't do her any good; she's actually hoping he'll help her family out.

Upon hearing the news, Xu Damao's eyes lit up. He pulled Li Sumei to the bed, determined to have a good time tonight and celebrate.

......

Peking Union Medical College Hospital.

Yi Zhonghai and an older woman arrived at the hospital. After asking a nurse for directions to Sha Zhu's ward, they hurried to Sha Zhu's ward.

Upon entering the ward, Yi Zhonghai saw Sha Zhu staring blankly at the ceiling, seemingly unaware that he had even entered the room. He quickly asked:

"Silly Zhu, what happened to you? Are you injured? Is it serious?"

Sha Zhu looked at Yi Zhonghai as if he were a son meeting his biological father.

"Uncle, I...I've been crippled, I've become a eunuch, I can never get married again!"

"What?"

Yi Zhonghai and the older woman stared wide-eyed, their eyes filled with disbelief.

"Grandpa, go and call the police for me right now. I'll talk to you when they get here," Sha Zhu said through gritted teeth.

Yi Zhonghai sighed deeply: "Alright, Shufen, you stay here and take care of Shazhu. I'll go to the police station first."

"Old Yi, you should go now," an older woman said.

Yi Zhonghai quickly accepted reality; whether Sha Zhu could get married and have children or not wouldn't affect him much anyway.

Soon, Yi Zhonghai arrived at the ward with two police officers.

These two police officers were the same two officers who frequently went to compound number 95; one was young, and the other was older.

The older policeman walked to Sha Zhu's bedside and asked, "Comrade He Yuzhu, please tell us about the attack."

Sha Zhu nodded: "Officer, it's like this. I got off work late tonight, and on my way home, I was stopped by a few masked men. They were all carrying wooden sticks and daggers. The guy with the dagger immediately accused me of not paying his prostitute, and then a group of them started beating me. They even kicked me twice, and I passed out. When I woke up, I was already in the hospital."

"Officers, you must catch them and avenge me! I really didn't go to those guys' prostitutes! Officers, you have to believe me!"

The young policeman gestured for him to calm down: "Comrade He Yuzhu, please don't get agitated. Did you even get a good look at what they looked like?"

Sha Zhu shook his head: "I didn't see clearly. It was already dark, and they were wearing masks. All I know is that there were four men."

"Comrade He Yuzhu, have you offended anyone recently? Do you think they really mistook you for someone else, or is someone trying to retaliate against you?" the police officer asked again.

Sha Zhu was silent for a moment, then said, "Officer, I initially thought they had mistaken me for someone else, but now that I think about it, I believe it's more likely a form of retaliation."

The two police officers had already suspected Xu Damao, after all, they were the ones who handled Xu Damao's case with He Yuzhu. Xu Damao had been kicked out of the family by He Yuzhu, which was a deep-seated hatred, so it was understandable that he wanted to take revenge on He Yuzhu.

However, they still asked in a businesslike manner, "So, who have you had a particularly big conflict with recently? Someone with whom you have a deep-seated hatred?"

"Xu Damao, it must be Xu Damao! I have an irreconcilable feud with him, he must be the one who hired someone to take revenge on me!" Sha Zhu shouted.

Yi Zhonghai stepped forward and interjected, "Officer, Xu Damao was rendered infertile by Sha Zhu last time, so he is highly suspicious."

The two police officers exchanged a glance, asked Sha Zhu for some more details, and then said:

"Comrade He Yuzhu, please take good care of your injuries. We will take Comrade Xu Damao to the police station for investigation. If it is true that he hired someone to do this, we will give you justice."

"Thank you, officers."

Just as the two police officers left, the doctor walked into the ward and said to Sha Zhu:

"Comrade He Yuzhu, have you decided to have the excision surgery? The sooner the surgery is done, the better. If you wait until it gets infected, the risks will be much greater."

Yi Zhonghai now had a basic understanding of Sha Zhu's situation. He patted Sha Zhu on the shoulder and comforted him:

"Silly Zhu, things have come to this, you might as well cut it. It's just two ounces of meat, think it through, it's not a big deal."
