Courtyard House: Inheriting the Restaurant, the Jia Family Wants to Get It for Free

Sun Dali jogged all the way back to the courtyard house at No. 95, panting heavily.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, I was surrounded by a group of neighbors who were waiting to see what was going on.

"Dali, how are you? Is Lao Liu alright?"

Yan Bugui was the first to speak.

"That's right, Sister Sun, Old Liu, he..."

Sun Dali was in a state of utter confusion and had no interest in explaining things to them.

She waved her hand haphazardly and said, "It's okay, I'm out of the emergency room now, the doctor said there's nothing seriously wrong."

She couldn't tell the truth; she couldn't let the people in the compound know that her husband was "useless."

Once people find out that Liu Haizhong has become a useless piece of trash, their family in this yard will be trampled into the mud.

After saying that, she pushed through the crowd and ran towards the backyard without looking back.

Watching her hurried departure, the shrewd people in the courtyard exchanged glances.

"Tch, she says it's not a big problem, but look at her, she's like she's lost her soul, she's definitely talking nonsense."

Yang Xiulian pursed her lips.

"Exactly, if nothing was wrong, would she be in such a hurry? I think Old Liu is probably in big trouble this time."

"Serves him right! Who told him to be so arrogant all the time!"

Sun Dali could no longer hear the neighbors' chatter.

She rushed back to her house and searched under the bed for a long time before finally pulling out a small bag wrapped tightly in cloth from a dilapidated wooden box.

Opening the cloth bag revealed the family's savings accumulated over the years through frugality—stacks of crumpled banknotes.

She counted the money and felt a pang of pain in her heart; she didn't know how much it would cost.

Having taken half the money and clutching it, Sun Dali had just stepped out of the backyard when she bumped into Yi Zhonghai, who was strolling around the yard with his child in his arms.

Upon seeing Yi Zhonghai's hypocritical face, Sun Dali's mind went blank, and she instantly recalled what her eldest son, Liu Guangqi, had said to her in the hospital.

"Mom, don't you see? Yi Zhonghai! He's using you as a pawn! He has a grudge against Cheng Shuhai but doesn't dare confront him directly, so he's trying to instigate you to your death!"

it's him!

Because of the man's injury, the anger that had been building up inside Sun Dali for half a day surged from the bottom of her heart to her head at this moment.

Her husband was almost beaten to death, and this man surnamed Yi not only didn't comfort her, but also wanted to take advantage of her and her family!

Is this something a human being would do?

"Yi Zhonghai!"

Sun Dali, her eyes bloodshot, pointed at Yi Zhonghai's nose and cursed, "You son of a bitch! You're not human! You're a beast!"

This sudden roar stunned the entire courtyard.

Everyone craned their necks to look towards the central courtyard.

Yi Zhonghai was playing with Yi Jiefang in his arms when he was suddenly scolded to his face, leaving him completely stunned.

"Old Liu's wife, what...what are you doing? What's wrong with you?"

"I'm crazy? Even if I am, it's because you, this heartless beast, have driven me to this point!"

Sun Dali was so angry that she trembled all over, and her voice was sharp and shrill.

"You yourself are too afraid to deal with Cheng Shuhai, so you want to use me as a pawn and incite me to my death?"

"Huh? Yi Zhonghai, I'm asking you, what are you up to!"

"Are you hoping our family will end up like the Jia family, so you can laugh at us from the sidelines?"

Sun Dali pointed at Yi Zhonghai's nose and launched into a tirade of abuse.

These words caused an uproar throughout the entire college.

What? Yi Zhonghai instigated Sun Dali to deal with Cheng Shuhai?

Yan Bugui and Xu Fugui watched with schadenfreude as Yi Zhonghai's expression changed drastically, waiting to see how he would handle the situation.

Cheng Shuhai, who was playing with his younger sister inside the house, also heard the commotion outside.

He opened the door, leaned against the doorframe, and watched the spectacle unfolding in the courtyard with great interest, a hint of consideration in his eyes.

He hadn't expected that Sun Dali, a woman who usually seemed so weak, would actually have some brains and be able to see through Yi Zhonghai's scheme.

No, that's not right.

Cheng Shuhai thought for a moment and realized that with Sun Dali's intelligence, she probably couldn't have come up with these ideas.

Liu Guangqi?

The face of the young man who came to surrender late at night flashed into Cheng Shuhai's mind.

Probably!

In the courtyard, Yi Zhonghai's thoughts were exposed in public by Sun Dali, and his old face instantly turned a deep purplish-red.

He quickly retorted, "You...you're talking nonsense! When did I incite you? I was just concerned about your family, telling you not to act impulsively and to trust the police!"

His eyes darted guiltily toward Cheng Shuhai's house, only to meet Cheng Shuhai's ambiguous smile. His heart skipped a beat.

When Sun Dali saw that he was still trying to argue even at this point, she became even more furious.

"You dare to argue!"

She rushed forward, disregarding the difference between men and women, and swung her hand, slapping Yi Zhonghai hard across the face.

"Slap! Slap!"

Two crisp slaps echoed throughout the courtyard.

Everyone was stunned.

Yi Zhonghai was stunned by the two slaps, covering his burning face, and didn't react for a long time.

"You shrew! How dare you hit me!"

"So what if I hit you? Hitting you is too lenient! A treacherous person like you who stabs you in the back deserves to be torn to pieces!"

Sun Dali was blinded by rage and wanted to rush forward again.

Just then, Tan Zhaodi rushed out of the house carrying the child.

"Stop hitting! Stop hitting! Let's talk this out!"

She rushed over and grabbed Sun Dali tightly.

She turned around and gave her husband a reproachful look.

Although she didn't know exactly what had happened, judging from the situation, she guessed that Yi Zhonghai must have done something underhanded again.

Ever since that incident, this man's mind has become increasingly gloomy.

"Dali, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry. If he did anything wrong, I apologize on his behalf."

Tan Zhaodi humbled herself and kept apologizing.

She turned around again, facing the direction of Cheng Shuhai's house, and bowed slightly: "Xiao Cheng, I'm so sorry to have troubled you."

Sun Dali was still angry, but she also knew that she had to hurry to the hospital to pay the bill.

She glared fiercely at Yi Zhonghai, shook off Tan Zhaodi's hand, and cursed, "This isn't over!"

After saying that, she grabbed the money and hurriedly ran out of the yard.

The courtyard fell silent, but everyone's eyes were focused on Yi Zhonghai, who was covering his face, and Cheng Shuhai at the door.
