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

The deaf old lady, leaning on her cane, slowly left Yi Zhonghai's house.

The door closed behind him, separating the two worlds.

Inside the room, Tan Zhaodi sat alone for a long time.

The deaf old woman's words were like a key, unlocking the lock in her heart called "reality".

Hate? Of course I hate!

The thought of how she had taken the blame for this man for half her life and suffered so much scorn and injustice made her grit her teeth in hatred.

What happens after that's all the hate?

Just like the old lady said, where could she go?

She went out on her own? How did she manage to get by?

Over the years, she had long since become accustomed to living a life dependent on Yi Zhonghai, like a vine tightly entwined around this big tree.

Now, if she were to set up shop in the fields on her own, she would have no idea what to do.

After calming down, Tan Zhaodi's mind began to work at lightning speed.

The old lady is right. Yi Zhonghai has wronged her now, and from now on, she will be the one to call the shots in this family.

money!

The word popped into Tan Zhaodi's mind.

The money in this household used to be managed by Yi Zhonghai.

Now that he's in such a big situation, I have to hold onto the money tightly.

She stood up without hesitation.

She went under the bed and dragged a small wooden box out from a hidden corner. Inside the box was the cash the family had saved up over the years.

Without even counting, she picked up the box, walked to another room, and hid it in another place.

Even after doing all that, she was still not at ease.

She then thought of the money she had in the bank.

The bankbook was in Yi Zhonghai's name, and she couldn't access it. But she decided that once Yi Zhonghai was discharged from the hospital, she had to make him hand over the bankbook to her for safekeeping.

After hiding the money in the house again, Tan Zhaodi finally felt a little more at ease.

She felt she had regained control of her life.

……

yard.

Cheng Shuhai looked at Sha Zhu and patted him on the shoulder.

"Silly Zhu, thank you this time."

If Shazhu hadn't intervened in time and kicked away Liu Haizhong, who was trying to sneak up from behind, he wouldn't have been injured, but he would have definitely had to put in more effort.

Sha Zhu chuckled, scratched the back of his head, and flashed a set of bright white teeth: "Brother Cheng, don't be so polite with me, it's nothing! Those bastards dared to lay a finger on your sister, I'll kill them!"

The thought of Liu Guangqi's insidious plan made him angry again.

Cheng Shuhai smiled and said nothing more.

He remembered this favor.

He took his sister Cheng Ling'er's hand and turned to go home.

The farce finally came to an end, but the air in the courtyard became unusually excited and restless because of the series of shocking revelations that night.

……

hospital.

The red light in the emergency room finally went out.

Yan Bugui and Xu Fugui and a few others were standing in the corridor, chatting idly, all feeling extremely annoyed.

What kind of mess is this?!

For no reason at all, Officer Wang conscripted Yi Zhonghai, sending this unlucky fellow to the hospital, where he now has to wait here idly.

"Hey, do you guys think Old Yi is... completely finished this time?"

A neighbor asked in a low voice.

Xu Fugui pursed his lips. He and Yi Zhonghai had never gotten along, so he didn't hold back when he spoke.

"I don't know if it's over or not, but this person has really embarrassed themselves to death."

"Tsk tsk, he hid it for half his life, only to be kicked out by Cheng Shuhai. It's hilarious."

"I think it's more than just being embarrassed. Think about it, do you really think Tan Zhaodi can tolerate this?"

"Over the years, everyone inside and outside the hospital has praised Yi Zhonghai as a good man. They say that even though Tan Zhaodi couldn't have children, he never abandoned her."

"And what happened? After all that, the root of the problem lies with Yi Zhonghai himself! Wasn't he just treating Tan Zhaodi like a fool?"

Yan Bugui adjusted his glasses, adopting the air of a cultured man, and began his analysis.

"Yes, if you ask me, this marriage is probably going to end in divorce!" Xu Fugui said decisively.

"Divorced? Then Old Yi will be all alone?"

"Serves him right! Who told him to do such a lousy thing and act all high and mighty all day long!"

Just as the group was getting into their conversation, the door to the emergency room creaked open.

A doctor in a white coat came out, took off his mask, and looked exhausted.

Yan Bugui rushed forward: "Doctor, doctor, how is the person inside?"

The doctor glanced at them and asked, "Are you the patient's family members?"

"No, no, we are his colleagues and neighbors in the courtyard. We brought him here."

Yan Bugui quickly explained.

The doctor nodded, asked no further questions, and said directly, "The patient is not in mortal danger. The fainting was caused by emotional distress and external impact, but the condition has stabilized."

Upon hearing that no one had died, Yan Bugui and Xu Fugui both breathed a sigh of relief.

They don't want to get involved in a murder case.

"However..." the doctor's tone shifted, his expression becoming somewhat strange, "His... lower body injury, although treated and shouldn't be a major problem, but..."

The doctor paused, seemingly considering his words.

"But what is it, Doctor? Just tell me!"

Xu Fugui is an impatient person.

The doctor sighed and said, "He already had a congenital developmental disorder. This time he suffered a severe injury. Although we managed to save his organs, he will probably be completely infertile in the future."

Completely infertile!

These words caused everyone to exchange glances.

Yan Bugui and several neighbors stared wide-eyed, speechless for a long time.

Now, it's a foregone conclusion that the family line will be cut off!

Xu Fugui paused for a moment, then, as if he had thought of something, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but blurt out:

"Then, wouldn't that be just like being a eunuch in the palace?"

The doctor didn't speak, but just frowned.

Although Yi Zhonghai's situation is different from that of a real eunuch, he still has his body, just that it has lost its function.

But in a sense, Xu Fugui's words, though crude, are not without merit.

Yan Bugui, who was listening nearby, grinned and thought to himself that Xu Fugui's mouth was really sharp.

At the same time, Yan Bugui also felt a surge of annoyance.

With such a shocking scandal, their No. 95 courtyard house is likely to become famous throughout the entire Nanluoguxiang area.

From now on, whenever someone mentions their hospital, their first thought will be of that "eunuch" Yi Zhonghai, which is just unlucky to think about.

Soon, Yi Zhonghai was wheeled out of the emergency room by a nurse and taken to a regular ward.

He was still unconscious, his face was pale, his lips were blue, and he looked extremely miserable.

Yan Bugui, Xu Fugui, and the others followed to the door of the ward. Looking at Yi Zhonghai lying on the bed, they couldn't help but shake their heads.

"Old Yi is probably not going to have a good time from now on."

"That's what a neighbor remarked."

Xu Fugui sneered, "That's right. He used to be the 'highly respected' Master Yi, but now he's the 'eunuch without heirs' Yi Zhonghai. He's really ruined his life because of Cheng Shuhai."

After discussing it, the group decided to let Xu Fugui stay and take care of things.

Although Xu Fugui was unwilling, he had no choice.

It's because he has the day off tomorrow.
