Siheyuan (courtyard house): My name is Shazhu!

"Ah!" Another scream rang out.

He Yuzhu looked to the right from the curtains. Jia Dongxu, probably because Yi Zhonghai had fallen to the ground and rushed out of the house, took a step from the covered corridor to the ground.

With his supporting foot firmly planted on the compacted snow, Jia Dongxu didn't do a split; instead, he was propelled forward by inertia.

His face was slammed against a small earthen wall four meters away from the Jia family's house. The earthen wall was only ten centimeters high and used to be a wall, but no one knew when it was knocked down.

He Yuzhu noticed that Jia Dongxu was covering his right hand with his left hand, not his face, by running his entire face over the earthen wall.

Is there a bigger problem with the right hand?

He's still young, energetic, and a good comrade who charges into battle.

Before He Yuzhu could figure it out, he heard, "Dongxu, Dongxu, what's wrong with you...?"

"Bang."

"ah."

After leaving the Jia family home, Jia Zhangshi was very concerned about Jia Dongxu. Without looking at the ground, she did not run, but the icy snow on the ground caused her to lose her balance again, and her right knee fell directly to the ground.

"Ouch, it hurts so much! Someone, help me! My knee...it hurts so much...help...help me..."

Jia Zhangshi's cries for help and Yi Zhonghai's screams attracted people from the front and back yards, who all came to the middle yard at the same time.

The Intermediate Court became very lively, and He Yushui slept soundly.

"What's wrong? What happened here? What's going on with Lao Yi and Dongxu?" Liu Haizhong asked, his hands behind his back.

"Old Liu, can you help me? I need to take Old Yi to the hospital. He slipped and fell this morning on his way to work."

Dongxu ran out to help, but he was running too fast and the ground was slippery, so he fell. Jia Zhangshi came out to see what had happened... Tan Guilan then recounted what had happened.

Everyone was shocked. Yi Zhonghai fell down in a split, followed by the Jia family mother and son. It was quite a scene. The roads are slippery in the snow. Don't you all know to watch your step?

Why didn't Jia Zhangshi kill her? Nobody in the courtyard wanted her.

"Let's save them first. Old Wu, Old Gou, go borrow two carts. We'll help Old Yi and Dongxu and take them to the hospital." Liu Haizhong looked down on Jia Zhangshi and didn't mention her at all.

Yi Zhonghai couldn't be helped up; he said his hip joint was too painful, even without touching it.

Yi Zhonghai was a man after all, and even though he was covered in sweat from the pain, he endured it, only groaning softly.

Four or five men couldn't lift Yi Zhonghai, so Xu Fugui pushed over a small cart and barely managed to put him inside.

Yi Zhonghai cried out in pain, but Liu Haizhong smiled and told him to bear with it.

At this moment, Jia Dongxu had already stood up, his left hand covering his right, his face covered in dirt and blood.

Jia Dongxu went to the pool and washed his face with his left hand, not caring how cold the water was in winter.

Then they went to Jia Zhangshi to ask what was wrong. Jia Zhangshi was screaming in pain, clutching her right knee, lying on her side on the ground groaning.

Jia Dongxu then asked Liu Haizhong to help his mother.

Liu Haizhong thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

It took a tremendous amount of effort from 80% of the adult men in the compound to get Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhangshi out of the courtyard.

Because the car was too small, Yi Zhonghai injured his hip joint and was unable to lie down on the car, which was less than a meter long.

It was put on a flatbed truck and taken to the hospital after another ordeal.

"Old Yi and Jia Zhangshi are so heavy, we almost couldn't handle them."

"Old Yi is tall, so it's normal for him to be a bit heavy. But Jia Zhangshi is short, so why is she so heavy?"

"It's edible. Just like a pig."

"No wonder she fell so hard."

"Haha. That's true."

He simply tamped the snow down, hoping that either Yi Zhonghai or Jia Dongxu would slip and fall.

Now there are three of them at once, and they are all people I want to get rid of, and we all have grudges against each other.

The outcome was unexpected; Yi Zhonghai's injuries were quite dangerous, and with current medical conditions, he could potentially become a cripple.

As for Jia Dongxu's condition, it is unclear. It seems that his right hand was injured somewhere, whether it was dislocated, fractured, or cracked. It is not clear without seeing clearly, so it is difficult to draw a conclusion.

As for Jia Zhangshi, that's truly gratifying. She probably has a fractured right kneecap and will need to stay in bed for two months to recover. She might even become lame again.

He Yuzhu was in a very good mood; if it weren't so early in the morning, he would definitely have drunk some wine to celebrate.

At eight o'clock, I woke He Yushui up. Breakfast was wontons with meat patties and a fried egg for each person.

"Brother, these three dishes are delicious too. Let's eat them more often in the future." He Yushui was smart. Because she enjoyed the food, she didn't mention going to Baocheng to find He Daqing again.

"We still eat here twice a week, alternating between the two. We could eat here every day, but we can't afford it, and people outside are watching us; we need to be careful they find out."

"I won't tell anyone, brother. You're off today, where should we go?" He Yushui also wanted to go out.

"Today, we're making quilts and mattresses. When it rains, do you feel cold sleeping?"

"Yes, I also feel cold. I'll switch to the new blanket to keep warm."

"We'll head out at 11 o'clock and have lunch outside."

"OK."

After searching several places, I finally found the cotton needed to make quilts and mattresses at Chen Xueru's "silk shop".

Limited rationing meant supplies were scarce; now that there's no rationing, they're incredibly expensive.

Two quilts and two mattresses cost a million yuan. They also made two sets of underwear for themselves and Xiaoyushui, plus three pairs of socks for each of them.

After rounding down to 1.8 million, not many ordinary families can afford such a price.

Underwear and briefs can be picked up in two days, and quilts and mattresses can be picked up in five days.

He Yuzhu didn't ask her to send someone to the courtyard house, nor did he leave an address. He valued safety more than spending money lavishly; he was currently a 'poor man'.

A year later, I will be able to buy the supplies I need in the system shop, and I will have enough 'gold coins'.

After the quilts and mattresses are made and brought back, the old quilts and mattresses are re-furled.

Thinking of Chen Xueru, I realized that there seemed to be a female spy living in her backyard. I'll investigate her when I have time these next few days; spies and secret agents cannot be overlooked.

Chen Xueru truly deserves to be called the most "cool" little woman in "The Little Woman Under the Zhengyang Gate." It's a pity she's been married before. She couldn't be a good wife.

With He Yushui by their side, the two headed straight to Donglaishun for hot pot. He Yuzhu loves hot pot in winter, but this kind of hot pot is too strong to eat in the courtyard house.

The two siblings were still pretending to be poor in the courtyard house, hoping that someone would intercept He Daqing's remittances.

When he was riding high, send him to his death.

After watching the TV series, what He Yuzhu wanted to say most was that he wanted Yi Zhonghai, that old scoundrel, to die.

He was the one who hurt 'Silly Zhu' the most in the TV series, not Qin Huairu or Bang Geng.

His manipulation of 'Silly Pillar' was too much and unforgivable.

To change Sha Zhu's fate, Yi Zhonghai is someone who must be eliminated.

The two siblings were very happy in the morning. One was in high spirits because she felt pleased that her three enemies had been "punished." The winter sun in Yanjing was big and round.

Another child was simply happy because in a few days he could sleep under a new blanket and no longer feel cold.

At the same time, the two also felt that hot pot with mutton was delicious, especially in winter. Drinking a hot soup and eating warm hot pot with mutton on a cold winter day felt very comforting.

"Brother, is it very expensive to eat here?" He Yushui asked, blinking her big eyes.

"Does Rainwater like the hot pot here? If Rainwater is obedient, we can come here once a week. Your brother has money; each meal costs less than 200,000 yuan, so we can afford it."

Seeing the expectation in He Yushui's eyes, He Yuzhu did not refuse. It was fine to eat some good food, as long as she didn't keep asking to see He Daqing every day.

During the month and a half that He Daqing was away, she performed quite well and deserves a reward.

The 20 million yuan He Daqing gave us, plus more than 12 million yuan, is enough to eat hot pot mutton many times.

"Great! The hot pot lamb is absolutely delicious, I love it. Thank you, brother!" He Yushui clapped her hands and cheered, her eyes practically disappearing with excitement.
