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

"Brother Cheng enlightened me!"

Sha Zhu's shout was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, instantly creating ripples.

All eyes in the courtyard were focused on Cheng Shuhai.

There was surprise, curiosity, awe, and also schadenfreude.

Cheng Shuhai stood calmly at his doorstep, hands in his pockets, expression indifferent, as if the farce before him had nothing to do with him.

Xu Damao, hiding in the corner, witnessed this scene and suddenly slapped his thigh in realization. He whispered to his father, Xu Fugui, "I knew it! How could that blockhead Shazhu possibly understand such profound matters? It turns out Cheng Shuhai was giving him advice behind the scenes!"

Xu Fugui nodded, his gaze towards Cheng Shuhai becoming more serious.

This young man is quite something.

Not long after they moved in, they first subdued the Jia family, causing Jia Zhangshi to become paralyzed, Jia Dongxu to be sent to a labor camp, and they even had to give up their house.

Now, with just a few words, he instigated Sha Zhu to beat Yi Zhonghai, who had considerable prestige in the courtyard, into a pig's head.

This kind of cunning and skill is not something an ordinary person possesses.

The other neighbors in the courtyard were all shrewd and realized what was happening at that moment.

The way they looked at Cheng Shuhai had completely changed.

This kid is not only ruthless, but also incredibly smart!

Yi Zhonghai, who was pinned down by Sha Zhu, was so angry when he heard the words "Brother Cheng" that he almost spat out blood.

Cheng Shuhai!

It's Cheng Shuhai again!

His eyes, swollen to slits, were fixed on Cheng Shuhai's direction, filled with resentment and hatred.

He understood, he understood everything!

Tonight, all his plans and schemes were ruined by Cheng Shuhai!

If Cheng Shuhai hadn't been so talkative, Sha Zhu would probably have already been persuaded and was happily dreaming of becoming a worker in the steel rolling mill.

The reputation I've painstakingly built over decades won't be ruined overnight!

It's all his fault! It's all that little bastard's fault!

In his mind, Yi Zhonghai had already cursed Cheng Shuhai's ancestors for eighteen generations.

He swore that he would remember this grudge! As long as Yi Zhonghai had a breath left, he would never let Cheng Shuhai go!

Sha Zhu didn't care what others thought; all he wanted to do was vent his anger.

He pointed at Yi Zhonghai's nose and continued cursing, "You old bastard, you think you can mess with me? Let me tell you, no way! If you ever dare to lay a finger on me or my sister again, I'll beat you up every time I see you!"

"Try it if you don't believe me!"

Sha Zhu's fists landed on Yi Zhonghai's body again and again. Although the force was less than before, it was still extremely humiliating.

Yi Zhonghai was beaten so badly that he had no chance to fight back. He could only cover his head and curl up on the ground like a dead dog, groaning in pain.

Tan Zhaodi cried her heart out on the side, but dared not step forward.

The entire central court was in complete chaos.

Just then, the sound of a cane tapping the ground came from the backyard.

"stop!"

A deep, powerful voice rang out.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw the deaf old woman, leaning on a cane, walking shakily out of the backyard.

Although she is old, her eyes are still sharp.

She glanced at Yi Zhonghai, who was beaten beyond recognition on the ground, and then at Sha Zhu, who was riding on top of him like a madman. Her brows furrowed tightly.

"You idiot! Stop it right now!"

The deaf old woman's voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable air of authority.

Sha Zhu paused subconsciously for a moment.

In this courtyard, he feared nothing and no one, except two people.

One is his father, He Daqing, who has already run away; the other is the deaf old woman in front of him.

From childhood to adulthood, the deaf old lady took care of him a lot, and in his heart, the old lady was like his own grandmother.

"old lady……"

Sha Zhu turned his head and saw that it was the deaf old lady; the fierce light in his eyes lessened somewhat.

"You still know I'm an old woman?" The deaf old woman slammed her cane heavily on the ground. "Look what you've done to him! If you keep hitting him, he'll die!"

"If someone dies, you'll be in jail! And then who'll take care of your sister, Yushui?"

The deaf old woman's words were like a bucket of cold water poured over Sha Zhu's head.

The initial enthusiasm in his mind instantly cooled down.

Yes, if I were to kill Yi Zhonghai, I would have to pay with my life.

What will happen to the rain then?

She's so young, how can she survive alone?

Thinking of this, Sha Zhu could no longer bring himself to swing his fist.

"You idiot, get off your grandpa Yi right now!"

When the deaf old woman saw that Sha Zhu had stopped moving, she knew that her words had worked and immediately shouted sternly.

Sha Zhu hesitated for a moment, but finally got up from Yi Zhonghai's body.

Although he stopped hitting him, his anger hadn't subsided. Pointing at Yi Zhonghai, who was groaning on the ground, he said to the deaf old woman, "Grandma, it wasn't me who wanted to hit him! He plotted against me first! He wanted to ruin my life!"

"Can't you talk things out? Why do you have to resort to violence?" The deaf old woman walked up to him with a stern face, pointing her cane at Yi Zhonghai on the ground. "Look at the state you've left him! Are you even going to let him live in the same courtyard as us? You're making a blood feud!"

"When he was plotting against me, did he never consider that we were neighbors?"

Sha Zhu retorted, sticking his neck out.

"You!" The deaf old lady was speechless with anger, so much so that her cane trembled.

She knew that Yi Zhonghai was in the wrong first, while Sha Zhu was in the right, and she couldn't change his mind by force.

With a quick glance, she changed her strategy, no longer trying to reason with Sha Zhu, but instead turning to the neighbors who were watching the commotion.

"Don't just stand by and watch, come and lend a hand to help Zhonghai up."

The deaf old lady then spoke.

Liu Haizhong was closest. He hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and, together with another neighbor, reached out to help Yi Zhonghai, who was lying on the ground.

"Ouch...it hurts so much..."

When Yi Zhonghai was helped up, he was wincing in pain. His face was swollen like a steamed bun, covered in bruises, and blood was still dripping from his mouth and nostrils. He looked as pathetic as could be.

Tan Zhaodi rushed over and supported her husband, crying her eyes out.

"Old Yi, how are you? We need to go to the hospital! Right now!"

The deaf old lady's heart sank when she saw Yi Zhonghai's miserable state.

She didn't expect Sha Zhu to be so ruthless.

She turned her head, wanting to reprimand Sha Zhu a few more times, but found that Sha Zhu was glaring fiercely at Yi Zhonghai, who had been helped up, with a look that seemed to say he wanted to kick him a couple more times.

The deaf old woman knew in her heart that this feud was now irreconcilable.
