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

He took a step and caught up with Yi Zhonghai, who was flying backwards, just as the other man crashed to the ground.

A fist the size of a clay pot, accompanied by a whistling sound, slammed hard into Yi Zhonghai's old face, which was contorted with pain!

"Bang!"

The crisp sound was particularly jarring in the quiet night.

Several yellow teeth, stained with blood, flew out of Yi Zhonghai's mouth, traced an arc in the air, and fell to the ground with a crisp "clink".

He was completely stunned. His ears were ringing, his face was burning, his mouth was full of the taste of blood, and his mind was blank.

He...he got beaten up?

He got beaten up by that little bastard Cheng Shuhai?

The neighbors in the courtyard were all dumbfounded.

Everyone gaped, their eyes wide with disbelief.

One second ago, they thought Cheng Shuhai was about to be in big trouble and get beaten up by the furious Yi Zhonghai.

But the situation took a dramatic turn in the next second!

Yi Zhonghai slipped and fell, and Cheng Shuhai seized the opportunity, delivering a series of fluid punches that knocked Yi Zhonghai down!

This...this is way too fast!

"That Cheng Shuhai kid, he's too ruthless!"

"Serves him right! Who told Yi Zhonghai to strike first? He's so old, and he's still fighting with a young man, isn't he ashamed!"

There was a lot of discussion among the crowd, but no one dared to step forward.

Cheng Shuhai's ruthlessness once again refreshed their understanding of what was acceptable in the hospital.

Cheng Shuhai, however, showed no sign of stopping.

He looked at Yi Zhonghai, who was lying on the ground groaning, without a trace of pity in his eyes.

He pounced on Yi Zhonghai like a hungry tiger, straddling his back and raising his fists to strike the old man's face with both hands!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The dull thuds of punches landing were so loud they made your teeth ache.

"You old fool! I'll let you do it!"

"Serves you right for acting all high and mighty in the yard!"

"You dare scheme against me!"

"Today I'll show you why flowers are so red!"

Cheng Shuhai cursed and punched at the same time, putting all his strength into each punch.

He had long disliked this hypocrite, and today was the perfect opportunity to settle both old and new scores!

Yi Zhonghai was beaten so badly that he had no chance to fight back. He could only cover his head and writhe on the ground like a maggot, making incoherent screams.

"No...stop hitting me...ah..."

"Help!"

He had never been so embarrassed in his entire life!

He was actually being ridden on by a young man in his early twenties and used as a punching bag!

His face, his dignity, was smashed to pieces by Cheng Shuhai's fist at this moment!

Liu Haizhong, who was in the backyard, had just seen Yi Zhonghai off and was fantasizing about how to kill Cheng Shuhai when he heard the commotion in the middle courtyard.

He curiously went out to take a look, and was immediately dumbfounded.

How could his "ally," Yi Zhonghai, who had just been plotting something big with him, be beaten up on the ground?

Upon closer inspection, the person who was beating him up was none other than Cheng Shuhai, whom he hated to the core.

Liu Haizhong's eyes widened instantly, and his breathing became rapid.

opportunity!

This is a golden opportunity!

That bastard Cheng Shuhai actually dared to openly beat up an "elder" in the courtyard!

If this gets out, will he still be in a good position?

If I just rush up now, I can rightfully take care of Cheng Shuhai, this thorn in my side!

Thinking of this, Liu Haizhong trembled with excitement.

He felt like he was the chosen one, and that God was on his side!

"stop!"

With a loud shout, Liu Haizhong, his large belly protruding, strode aggressively toward the central courtyard.

"You bastard Cheng Shuhai! How dare you commit violence and assault in broad daylight in the courtyard! I'll teach you a lesson today!"

As he ran, he found himself the moral high ground, shouting at the top of his lungs, as if afraid that others wouldn't know that Liu Haizhong was coming to "uphold justice."

In the Intermediate Court, Sha Zhu and his sister He Yushui were also alerted by the commotion.

The brother and sister had just come out of the house when they saw Cheng Shuhai beating up Yi Zhonghai.

He Yushui turned pale with fright and hid behind her brother, too scared to look.

Sha Zhu's eyes lit up as he watched.

But just then, he saw Cheng Ling'er standing to the side, her face pale with fright, her eyes filled with tears, but she was holding back her sobs.

The little girl clenched her fists tightly, her body trembling slightly, her big eyes filled with worry and fear.

Sha Zhu's heart softened instantly.

He remembered how kind Cheng Shuhai had been to him and his sister, the steaming bowl of egg noodles, and the fragrant plate of spicy chicken.

He can't just stand by and watch.

Sha Zhu quickly walked to Cheng Ling'er's side, squatted down, and took her cold little hand in his.

"Ling'er, don't be afraid," he said in the gentlest voice he could muster. "Your brother is amazing. Look, that wicked old man couldn't even fight back after being beaten by your brother, and he's perfectly fine."

Cheng Ling'er raised her head, looked at Sha Zhu, and nodded, her tense little face finally easing a bit.

He Yushui also came over, took Cheng Ling'er's other hand, and whispered to comfort her, "Ling'er, don't be afraid, my brother is here."

Just as Sha Zhu was comforting the two little girls, he caught a glimpse of Liu Haizhong rushing over from the backyard out of the corner of his eye.

Upon hearing Liu Haizhong's "righteous" roar, Sha Zhu's brows furrowed instantly.

"What's this Fatty Liu up to? Trying to take sides?"

Seeing Liu Haizhong's menacing appearance, his target clearly Cheng Shuhai who was focused on beating someone up, he immediately understood.

That old bastard tried to ambush Brother Cheng!

Sha Zhu's temper flared up instantly.

"Damn it, you dare touch my Brother Cheng? You're asking for death!"

He pushed Cheng Ling'er and He Yushui to a safe spot and instructed them, "You two stay here and don't wander off!"

After saying that, he suddenly stood up, turned his head, and stared intently at Liu Haizhong, who was rushing towards him.

Liu Haizhong was overjoyed, thinking he was about to achieve great things, and didn't even notice Cheng Yaojin suddenly appearing from the side.

Just as he ran up behind Cheng Shuhai, preparing to deliver a vicious blow and hug Cheng Shuhai from behind.

A dark shadow swept in from the side, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound!

"I'll let you attack me from behind!"

Sha Zhu's signature loud voice rang out like a thunderclap!

Liu Haizhong felt a sharp pain in his lower back, as if he had been stabbed hard by a red-hot iron rod.

"Aww!!!"

He let out a bloodcurdling scream, and his body flew uncontrollably to the side.

Sha Zhu put all his strength into that kick.

He worked in the kitchen year-round, chopping firewood and carrying bags of rice, which gave him great strength.

This flying kick was incredibly powerful.

Liu Haizhong's 170-180 pound body drew a clumsy arc in mid-air before crashing heavily to the ground with a "thud," kicking up a cloud of dust.
