The Courtyard House: He Yuzhu Returns with Boundless Hatred for Revenge

"Bang! Bang! Bang! He Yuzhu, open the door, open the door now!"

Inside, He Yuzhu and He Yushui were enjoying a hearty meal of braised chicken. The continuous knocking and shouting that had been going on for several minutes were incredibly annoying, and they were finally getting angry.

He put down his chopsticks, said to Yu Shui who was happily eating, "I'm going out to take a look. You can continue eating." Then he stood up and walked towards the door.

That's why they say a harsh environment is a great way to toughen someone up. At this moment, He Yushui was no longer the panicked person she used to be when she heard that a beast had come to her door. She was calmly and casually attacking a chicken leg.

With a loud bang, the door opened.

Yi Zhonghai was frantically banging on the door when it suddenly opened. He was about to question it when everything went blurry before his eyes!

"Snapped!"

A huge flying punch landed squarely on his face, silencing the sound he had just uttered!

Yi Zhonghai staggered back several steps, covering his face, looking at He Yuzhu with a mixture of shock and anger, his eyes filled with humiliation and hatred. The injuries on his face had just completely healed when he was beaten again.

"He Yuzhu! You dare to hit someone?"

"So what if I hit you? It's not like I haven't hit you before. Blocking people's doorways and disturbing their peace, you deserved to be hit! I think you haven't been beaten up in days, and your skin is itching again."

"He Yuzhu!" Liu Haizhong shouted, mustering his courage. "We're asking you, where does all this money come from that you eat and drink so extravagantly every day? How much is your monthly salary? Have you been embezzling from the government cafeteria?!"

He Yuzhu looked at them like they were idiots. "What? Don't you guys wait for me to get off work every day? Did you see me bringing things back from the factory? It's my own money, I can spend it however I want. I, He Yuzhu, am upright and honest, every penny I spend is earned with my own blood and sweat! Besides, what business is it of yours? If you're so bored you're talking nonsense, go home and take care of your own sons. You're all just eating and having nothing better to do all day long."

"You...you...you..." Yi Zhonghai pointed a trembling finger at He Yuzhu, inwardly screaming to the heavens, "Heavens, grant me a son! How long must I endure this humiliation of being childless in public? Is not having a son truly a sin? Waaah..."

Yan Bugui wanted to intimidate He Yuzhu and get revenge, saying, "We are the officials appointed by the street office, and we have the right to question the residents of the compound about any abnormal behavior. You must explain yourself clearly, or we will report you to the police and the street office and sue you for having unexplained wealth!"

"You so-called 'manager'? You're just a messenger. You're all wielding your authority like it's nothing, enough to fool the cats and dogs in this yard, but you dare try to fool me? Go ahead and report it, but right now, immediately, get the hell out of here! If you keep blocking my door and whining, I won't hesitate to give you three old geezers another beating—it'll be good for stretching your muscles!"

Well, one sentence has offended everyone who came to watch the show. Damn it, how did we become cats and dogs? This He Yuzhu is truly inhuman, going too far! Calling him the bully of the college is no exaggeration.

He Yuzhu didn't care about any of that. As soon as he finished speaking, he took a step forward, his whole body radiating a murderous aura. The three of them were so frightened that they all retreated, the unpleasant memories of that night flooding back into their minds. This kid really dared to make a move without hesitation.

"You, you just wait!" Yi Zhonghai said fiercely, but his words were weak inside. He then retreated with the other two men in a sorry state, their backs looking disheveled.

Back at the Yi family home, the three looked at each other, all seeing the helplessness in each other's eyes. They had tried everything, both soft and hard tactics, but nothing worked on He Yuzhu! Instead, they not only lost face but also got beaten up.

Yi Zhonghai grew increasingly angry, especially since He Yuzhu had not only slapped him to his face but also humiliated him by calling him childless—an utter disgrace and a source of deep resentment! He stamped his foot and said to Liu and Yan, "We can't let this go! I'm going to find the old lady right now!"

The backyard, the house of the deaf old lady.

These past few days, she had also been tormented by the aroma wafting from He Yuzhu's house every night. That damned little brat hadn't brought her any food even once, and her heart was now filled with resentment. Seeing Yi Zhonghai enter, she understood seven or eight parts of the situation.

"Grandma!" Yi Zhonghai's voice trembled with tears. "That little bastard Shazhu is completely out of control now! We can't do anything about him! If this continues, we won't have a place to stand in this yard!"

The deaf old woman's face was gloomy, and she gripped her cane tightly. Her long-term unsatisfied appetite and her hatred for He Yuzhu's disobedience had reached a breaking point.

"It seems the time has come." A glint of ruthlessness flashed in the deaf old woman's cloudy eyes. "No matter how arrogant Sha Zhu is, can he be more arrogant than the neighborhood committee? Can he be more arrogant than the leaders of the steel mill?"

She looked at Yi Zhonghai, her mind made up: "Go, tell your husband to come over early tomorrow and come with me!"

Yi Zhonghai's eyes lit up: "Grandma, what's this...?"

"Hmph!" The deaf old woman slammed her cane down heavily.

"The neighborhood committee, the steel mill—back then, which of those people didn't owe me a favor? Don't think that just because I'm old and useless, my reputation is worthless!"

"Back then, there were some things I helped out with! They have no choice but to acknowledge that favor, whether they want to or not! Now, it's time for them to pay back some interest."

She turned to Yi Zhonghai, her eyes filled with a sinister look reminiscent of a landlady from a movie.

"As long as I, this old woman, go out, with all these connections and the overwhelming public opinion, the unanimous voice in this courtyard will be enough to make them severely punish Sha Zhu. I refuse to believe they'll dare to defy me!"

"This time, I don't expect that little beast to repent or show any filial piety to this old woman." The deaf old woman's voice suddenly rose, sharp and piercing. "I'll make him suffer a great fall! I'll have the neighborhood committee and the factory punish him severely! It would be best to transfer him to be a foundry worker, so he'll know that in this courtyard, he's nothing, and who truly rules this courtyard!"

At this moment, the old man's face was contorted with rage, resembling the monster in the movie "Painted Skin" who had shed his human skin.

"Once he's down on his luck and has no one to rely on, let's see how arrogant he can be! At that point, won't he be like a dog, completely at our mercy? I'll make him kneel down and swallow every single rule we've set in this courtyard! From now on, he'll have to wag his tail and beg for mercy whenever he sees us!"

Hearing the old bastard's extremely vicious words, Yi Zhonghai trembled with excitement, feeling a sense of satisfaction at having avenged his great enemy. He laughed loudly at the sky several times.

"Brilliant, absolutely brilliant! It has to be you, Grandma. Your skill is evident from the first move. This is exactly how it should be done. I'll have Guifen accompany you first thing tomorrow morning! This time, we'll make sure that little beast never gets another chance to rise again."
