Siheyuan (courtyard house): My name is Shazhu!

"Xiao Yi, he's an idiot. Why were you and Jia Zhangshi the ones who went in? It wasn't him. Don't be so self-righteous."

I heard Guilan talk about the two incidents before and after, and Zhuzi handled them in a very methodical way, which is something that a real fool could not have done.

In the end, he managed to send both of you in jail unscathed, something even you might not have been able to do. He's a master of feigned foolishness; my previous assessment of him was wrong.

Not only will they send you to jail, but they'll also use your relationship with He Daqing to attack you. Your good brother just left, and you're leading the bullying of his child. What kind of reputation will that leave you with?

The corrupt landlord, whose case had just been quelled, is being talked about again. This time, he's even been taken directly to the military control commission, making it impossible to overturn the verdict. The losses are enormous.

"I just wanted to make this a small matter, but Sha Zhu didn't appreciate it at all and even sent me to the military control commission. I can't swallow this insult. Old lady, what should I do?"

"What favor has he done for you? Have you been bullied by Jia Zhangshi all this time? He Daqing ran away, what have you done for him? What favor do you owe him?"

I told you to stay away from the Jia family, but you didn't listen. Jia Zhangshi caused trouble for Zhuzi twice in a row, and you were helping Jia Zhangshi. Why should he appreciate your help?

Xiao Yi, bullying is bullying. You can make excuses to comfort yourself that it's for his own good, but will the person involved do that? No.

"You'd better behave yourself for a few years, speak less for the Jia family, and find an opportunity to stand out again. First, erase your bad reputation, then deal with Zhu Zi." The deaf old lady knew this perfectly well.

"All right."

Yi Zhonghai returned to the courtyard house and became extremely docile. People pointed and whispered about him, mocking him as a heartless landlord, but he didn't refute them. He was truly patient!

When He Yuzhu returned home, she saw Yi Zhonghai several times at the Intermediate People's Court. There was still resentment in her eyes. Whenever she saw her siblings return, Yi Zhonghai would go home immediately.

Tan Guilan sighed helplessly to the side; things were not going as she wished, and she had no say in the family.

Seeing Yi Zhonghai's expression, He Yuzhu wanted to laugh, knowing that Yi Zhonghai was holding back, but also secretly fuming. His resolve to deal with him remained unchanged.

Not long after returning home, He Yuzhu felt that the leaky roof was not working, so he came up with another idea: robbery!

After May, the weather got hot, and most families relieved themselves at night, only using the toilet at home. It's unclear whether Yi Zhonghai went there or not.

Be careful at home these next few days.

It's a bit of a pity that Yi Zhonghai didn't go out at night for three consecutive days, only Jia Dongxu was seen going to the toilet at night.

Even without Yi Zhonghai, Jia Dongxu would suffice; neither of them are good people.

Jia Dongxu went to the toilet around 9:40, a round trip of 15 minutes, and He Yuzhu figured out his timing.

He Yushui went to sleep, and twenty minutes later, at 9:50, He Yuzhu went out, climbed over the wall to the toilet entrance, and waited for Jia Dongxu to come out.

Three minutes later, footsteps came from the restroom. It was Jia Dongxu's footsteps, which He Yuzhu heard very clearly.

As someone came out of the restroom, he stepped forward and delivered a karate chop to Jia Dongxu's neck, knocking him unconscious. He was then dragged to the back of the restroom. At that moment, footsteps were heard again, indicating that someone else was coming. It was unlikely that they would come to the back of the restroom in the dark.

Throw the clothes you've taken off into the system space. It's a good thing you have no money.

He Yuzhu typed a few words in the system space: "The consequence of not bringing any money."

They exited the system space, blindfolded Jia Dongxu, and gagged him tightly. They placed a note on his chest; the handwriting was terrible.

Facing Jia Dongxu's right hand, his right leg was two feet; the rubber shoes were newly bought and would be kept in his spatial storage as a special tool. He Yuzhu quickly ran away, climbed over the courtyard wall, and returned home.

They broke Jia Dongxu's right hand and right leg. The right hand was crucial; for a fitter, a broken right hand is a serious matter. With poor medical conditions, if it couldn't be cured, it would affect his future work.

This was He Yuzhu's revenge on him, and his right leg was also injured as a result.

Behind the toilet, naked Jia Dongxu was groaning in pain. There were people in the toilet, and they could hear him at night.

Less than a minute later, a man ran out of the toilet. It was Old Su from the courtyard house at No. 93 next door. By the light of his flashlight, he saw Jia Dongxu, who was completely naked.

He instinctively shouted, "Help! Something terrible has happened! Help! Someone's dying! Jia Dongxu is in trouble!"

After shouting, he walked over, squatted down, pulled the cloth out of Jia Dongxu's mouth, and asked, "Who did this? Did you see anyone?"

Jia Dongxu didn't answer, but screamed in agony, "Uncle Su... help, I... didn't see anyone, I... came out of the toilet... and was... knocked unconscious..." Jia Dongxu's head lolled to the side, and he passed out again.

"Where is he? Where is he...?" People ran out from the three courtyards, numbered 93, 95, and 97. It wasn't even 10 o'clock, and there were still people who hadn't gone to bed.

"Help! Someone come quick behind the toilet! Jia Dongxu has fainted again!" Old Man Su called out upon hearing the voice.

"Damn, these robbers are ruthless. They didn't even leave them a pair of underwear. How poor are they?"

"Sigh, life's tough. There are more and more robberies. Jia Dongxu has a note on his chest."

"What happens if you don't bring any money." Someone picked up the note and read it aloud.

"Damn it, these robbers are so brazen! They stripped us naked when we had no money."

"Quite a few people left notes; I've heard of it several times. They were venting their frustrations. The robbers were in a terrible state; Jia Dongxu was relatively lucky."

No one left a note, and He Yuzhu wouldn't leave one either; trying to cover it up is unacceptable.

"Not only that, Jia Dongxu's right hand and right leg were broken, their shapes were altered, and there were footprints."

"Gentlemen, please go and report to the authorities. Jia Dongxu has already fainted." Old Man Su was quite helpful.

"Let's go." The four men went to the military control commission to report to the authorities.

"Jia Dongxu deserved it. Why did he need to go to the toilet so late at night? Couldn't he have just taken care of it at home? There are plenty of robbers these days, that's why his leg was broken; he got the better deal."

"Absolutely, quite a few people died. He was lucky this time; there might be a next time."

"It would be better if they were dead. Neither he nor his mother were good people. Has Yi Zhonghai arrived yet? His precious apprentice is badly injured."

"Yi Zhonghai didn't come. He should pay. I'll go call someone." They were always eager to stir up trouble.

"Hahaha, when the Jia family is in trouble, Yi Zhonghai pays the bill. Is it because he's rich and likes to be ripped off?"

"A heartless landlord, whether he likes it or not, if he has money, just make him pay."

Lu Sanlu arrived at the Intermediate People's Court, shouting that Jia Dongxu was in trouble, and smashed the door of Yi Zhonghai's house.

Yi Zhonghai had no idea what had happened. He Yuzhu also walked out of the house, still half asleep, pretending to have been woken up.

"Zhu Zi is awake. Jia Dongxu was robbed behind the toilet and stripped naked. Go check on him. I'll go first." Lü Sanlu said and left.

"Brother, what's going on outside? It's so noisy." He Yushui was also woken up by the noise.

"Jia Dongxu got robbed. You keep sleeping, I'll go watch the fun," He Yuzhu replied.

"Brother, wait for me, I want to go too." He's young, but he loves watching the excitement.

"Put your clothes on, I'll wait for you."

"Okay, almost done."

He Yuzhu waited for He Yushui, while Yi Zhonghai and Tan Guilan hurriedly walked towards the front yard. They met but did not speak.

He Yuzhu, holding a flashlight, led He Yushui out of the courtyard.

"Brother, there are so many people, I can't see Jia Dongxu." He Yushui complained about the crowd.

There were quite a few people, about 120 or 130, including adults from several nearby courtyard houses who all came out to watch the spectacle. It's an instinct that has existed since ancient times.

"You can't see, brother will hold you, let's squeeze in." After saying that, he picked up He Yushui with one arm and held a flashlight in the other.
