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

When Yan Bugui saw his eldest son scream in agony, he rushed over to check on him. At that moment, Yan Jiecheng was curled up on the ground, clutching his left leg, his face pale and covered in large beads of sweat. He was clearly in excruciating pain, unable to even scream, only groaning through gritted teeth. His knee was completely twisted, and white bone fragments could be seen piercing his trouser leg, blood gushing out, staining the entire trouser leg red.

"My son!" Yan Bugui's eyes were bloodshot. He reached out to touch him but dared not. This was his eldest son, who was to inherit the Yan family business in the future. He could not afford to lose him. He raised his head and pointed at He Yuzhu. "He Yuzhu! You are heartless and lawless! You dared to commit murder in public and break my son's leg! You, you are trying to kill someone!" His voice was sharp and mournful, like that of a stray dog.

"Give me back my son's leg! Pay up! You have to pay up for our family's losses! I lost my job, and now Jiecheng's leg is ruined, all because of you! If you don't pay until you're bankrupt and give up your house, I'm not done with you! I'm going to call the police! I'll make sure you get shot!"

At this moment, Yang Ruihua came to her senses and saw her son's miserable state. She screamed again, "My Jiecheng! God, open your eyes and look! This He Yuzhu is not human! He's driving our whole family to our deaths! We can't live anymore, we really can't live anymore..."

The two old beasts were howling helplessly, which aroused the mindless sympathy of a group of little animals in the scene. They whispered among themselves and pointed at He Yuzhu. However, they dared not stand up and criticize He Yuzhu. After all, they were not stupid. They knew that in the current situation, openly opposing the fool He Yuzhu would not bring them any benefit.

The two old beasts in right caps exchanged a glance, each seeing the word "opportunity" in the other's eyes. Liu Haizhong struck first, pointing at He Yuzhu and shouting, "He Yuzhu! You're too arrogant! In broad daylight, you dared to commit violence and injure someone, breaking Jie Cheng's leg! All the neighbors here saw it clearly! This is intentional assault, a crime! Today you must be handed over to the police and brought to justice!"

Yi Zhonghai chimed in, "Zhu Zi, how could you hit him so hard? Even if there's a huge conflict, you can't beat someone to death! Look at Jie Cheng, he's so young, and his leg... Sigh! You've disappointed us so much! This matter must be handled by the government to give everyone an explanation!"

Hearing the words of the two old beasts, He Yushui, who was inside the house, could no longer stay there. She immediately opened the door, ran out, and hugged He Yuzhu's arm tightly, her body still trembling slightly.

"Brother, are you alright?" Her pale face was filled with worry. The two siblings had relied on each other for many years. The year after He Daqing ran away, He Yuzhu went to work at the train station carrying heavy bags and didn't return until midnight every day. He Yushui stayed at home alone, living in fear. Her biggest fear was that something might happen to her brother and he wouldn't be able to come back. She didn't want to experience that kind of fear again.

He Yuzhu seemed to sense his sister's unease, so he reached out and patted He Yushui's head, giving her a reassuring smile, "Don't worry, I'll be fine."

Then anger surged within him again. These beasts are always causing trouble, look how scared they've terrified their sister! You'll pay the price!

He strode over to Liu Haizhong and Yi Zhonghai in a few steps and gave each of them a big slap.

"Damn it, you two old bastards, you're both labeled rightists, and you still won't behave? Do you even have the right to speak here?"

"You dare to hit someone in public!" Yi Zhonghai covered his face, furious. Was his face so worthless? He was hit by Sha Zhu just like that? Now it had reached the point of being completely unscrupulous, as commonplace as drinking water and eating.

"What do you mean, 'you'? Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong! Don't you two know what you are now? You're just two damn rightists, dogs like dogs. I have the right to supervise and reform you, so beating you is only natural! Who dares to say no? You? You? You!" He pointed at the onlookers.

Wherever the finger pointed, everyone lowered their heads and avoided it. Seriously, who dares to speak up for the right-hand man these days? That's practically suicide!

"Now, get out of here and stand up straight! I'll settle accounts with you two old geezers after I've dealt with this!"

Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong had never suffered such humiliation in their lives. They were slapped in public and treated like dogs. But how could they dare to resist? Covering their faces and lowering their heads, they didn't dare to utter another word and slunk away to the edge of the crowd, looking like two withered old eggplants.

He then turned his gaze back to Yan Bugui's family. "Yan Bugui, you want to call the police? Go now! I'll wait here! As for compensation? Heh, not a penny! I'll be demanding compensation from you! Your whole family stormed into my house, smashed my door, and terrified my sister. How are you going to calculate that loss? And this door, you kicked it down, you have to pay for that too! Perfect, when the police arrive, we'll settle everything together!"

Seeing that He Yuzhu was unyielding and even tried to shift the blame, Yan Bugui was so angry he almost fainted. Seeing that Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong had backed down, he knew he couldn't rely on them and could only pin his hopes on the government. Looking around, he shouted to the neighbors who had gathered to watch the commotion, "Fellow neighbors! Everyone saw it! He Yuzhu started the fight and broke my son's leg! You all have to testify for me! Old Liu, Old Liu! Please go to the police station and report this! Please, officers, come and uphold justice!"

When Liu Haizhong heard Yan Bugui calling him, he quickly replied, "Okay, okay! I'll go right now!" After saying that, he turned around and ran outside, his steps were fast. Since they were already locked in a life-or-death struggle, he now only had one wish, which was to kill Sha Zhu.

He Yuzhu didn't stop them. Let them report it if they want. He picked up the things on the ground, then took his sister back into the room. He made a cup of tea, lit a cigarette, and comforted He Yushui for a while before showing his sister everything he had bought. When the little girl saw so much good food, her worry immediately turned to joy, and a smile appeared on her face.

Meanwhile, the scene inside the courtyard was far from pleasant. Yan Jiecheng was in excruciating pain, his forehead covered in cold sweat, his lips bitten until they bled. He pleaded in a low voice, "Dad, Mom, please take me to the hospital... It hurts so much, please..."

Yang Ruihua cried out, "Old man, let's take Jie Cheng to the hospital first! He's losing too much blood..."

Yan Bugui felt a pang of pain seeing his son's miserable state, but he was even more distressed about the money. Hardening his heart, he said resolutely, "Wait a little longer! Let the police come and see what Sha Zhu's crimes are like! Make him pay, then we'll go to the hospital! Otherwise, who will pay for the medical bills? Where do we have any money left?" He was determined to use the police's presence to force He Yuzhu to comply, at least to extort a large sum of money for medical expenses and compensation. He also insisted that the He family's main house must be compensated with at least one room.
