Courtyard House: My max-level medical skills specialize in treating beasts.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?"

At this moment, Liu Haizhong walked over, with a big belly and an air of leadership.

"This kid won't let us write big characters!" a man in a blue hat said, pointing at He Yudong.

"He Yudong, that's where you're wrong!" Liu Haizhong said righteously. "These days, which household doesn't have big signs on their door? Why is it different for you? Your thinking is flawed."

"Do whatever you want in your own home, it's none of my business. Don't scribble on my walls. This compound is for living, not for you people to mess around here!" He Yudong said.

"Don't you have any sense of collective honor?" a man in a blue hat said. "I'm going to write it today, let's see what you can do about it! You guys, paint all these walls!"

Immediately, several people wearing blue hats, carrying red paint, tried to forcibly write large characters on He Yudong's wall.

He Yudong snatched one of the paint buckets from the blue hat and slammed it down on his head.

"ah--!"

The blue-hatted man's entire head was instantly dyed red, and he screamed.

"He Yudong, are you trying to rebel? Everyone, take him down!" Liu Haizhong shouted, secretly chuckling to himself—this idea was actually something he, Xu Damao, and Yi Zhonghai had come up with. If He Yudong attacked these blue-hatted officials, he would definitely be surrounded and attacked.

"Guards, this guy is definitely a traitor! Everyone, arrest him!" shouted the leader in the blue hat.

Xu Damao, Yi Zhonghai, and Liu Haizhong quickly retreated to the back, watching this scene with amusement.

When Qin Huairu saw this scene from inside the house, she was secretly pleased—He Yudong was finally going to be in trouble today! She had been having a lot of bad luck before, all because of He Yudong. Now that she had heard about this situation, perhaps she could take this opportunity to get her revenge.

A man in a blue hat raised a stick and smashed it down on He Yudong's head.

He Yudong dodged to the side, grabbed the blue-hatted man's arm, and with a snap—accompanied by a scream—the blue-hatted man's wrist was broken, and the stick fell into He Yudong's hands.

He Yudong immediately swung his stick and charged at the men in blue hats.

These people in blue hats are either brainless or genuinely evil, so He Yudong naturally wouldn't give them a friendly look.

A miraculous scene unfolded—dozens of men in blue hats faced He Yudong alone, and one by one they fell to the ground, groaning in pain, while He Yudong remained unharmed. He wielded two short sticks with the ferocity of twin swords.

Before long, dozens of blue-hatted men had all fallen, and the leader retreated repeatedly until he was at the very back.

He Yudong slapped him across the face with a stick, knocking him to the ground.

"Hey! Stop hitting me! Stop hitting me! Do you know what you're doing? Hey! Stop—"

With each strike from He Yudong, the blue-hatted leader let out a scream. He Yudong struck several times before stopping.

"You...you dare hit me! You're dead! You're going against the country! You traitor! Ouch—" the blue-hat leader retorted, only to be slapped again.

"Damn it, someone like you dares to represent the country? I'll beat you to death, you bastard!" He Yudong slapped him again with the stick.

"Hey! Stop hitting me! I won't do it again! I won't do it again! Brother, please let me go!" The blue-hat leader finally gave in. He didn't expect this kid to start a fight without warning. The key point is that dozens of them couldn't beat him.

At this moment, Liu Haizhong stepped forward, pointed at He Yudong, and angrily said, "He Yudong, do you know how serious this is? You actually dared to hit someone in a blue hat! You're dead! You think you're so great just because you can fight? Even if you take down a few of them, there are still dozens, hundreds, thousands! So what if you're a good fighter?"

"That's right! He Yudong, isn't he? Even if you beat me up today, more people will come later. Let's see how many you can take on!" The blue-hat leader became excited again after hearing Liu Haizhong's words—they had thousands of people supporting them and were not afraid of He Yudong.

"Snap—"

He Yudong slapped the blue-hatted leader across the face again, and another scream rang out.

"I may not be able to beat a million people, but—if anyone comes to my house to cause trouble again, I won't hit anyone else, I'll just hit you. Even if they try to arrest me, I'll cripple you first."

boom--

As He Yudong finished speaking, he stomped his foot, and a bluestone slab beneath his feet cracked into two pieces.

Upon seeing this, the leader of the blue-hatted group immediately backed down and hurriedly said, "Um... Comrade He Yudong, I was just joking with you! I promise, we will never cause you any more trouble!"

Are you kidding me? If he causes trouble again, and that brat targets him alone, he won't even know how he died. He just wants to use this opportunity to eliminate dissidents and gain some benefits. If He Yudong cripples him, what's the point?

However, he had already started to plan ahead—if he didn't come himself, he would have someone else come instead.

Seeing the other person's shifty eyes, He Yudong sneered, "I know what you're up to. You're thinking of leaving and having someone else come and cause trouble here, so you won't be able to find me if you don't come yourself? Let me tell you—no matter who comes to my house to cause trouble in the future, I'll come looking for you. Even if you hide in a rat hole, I'll still find you."

The blue-hatted leader was startled upon hearing this—how did this kid know what he was thinking? He immediately stammered, "Comrade He Yudong, I absolutely did not have such thoughts! Absolutely not!"

"Get out of here, all of you!" He Yudong shouted.

Dozens of blue-hatted men immediately scrambled out of the courtyard. They never dared to come back—with such a menacing figure around, who would dare? Being a blue-hatted man was nothing more than a way to make a living.

He Yudong had long seen through the true nature of these blue-hatted men—they were just a bunch of hooligans and scoundrels. There was no need to reason with them; they had their own methods. If they wanted to use force, then use force, let them see whose fist was harder.

Anyway, given his status, his family having been farmers for three generations, and his military background, these people couldn't possibly pin any accusations on him.

"Ding—Punishing bad guys has earned you 100 merit points."

The system notification sounded again, referring to the dozens of blue-hatted guys who had been brutally beaten. However, they only suffered minor physical pain; a few dozen people only earned 100 merit points, which was better than nothing.

After those men in blue hats left, He Yudong looked at Liu Haizhong and Xu Damao and the others.

Liu Haizhong, taken a few steps back after being stared at by He Yudong, said, "He Yudong, don't be so smug!"

Without daring to linger, he quickly turned and left. He was afraid that He Yudong, that scoundrel, would beat him up too, leaving him with no recourse.

The three of them quickly retreated to Xu Damao's house and closed the door.

"He Yudong is too arrogant! We have to find a way to teach him a lesson, otherwise what will become of our combined prestige across three generations? Da Mao, you're the smartest here, tell me, how should we punish this kid..." Liu Haizhong said.

The thought of He Yudong filled Liu Haizhong with anger—he had beaten his two sons so badly that they were hospitalized, costing over a thousand yuan in medical expenses. They were only discharged a few days ago and were still having difficulty walking.

"Why don't we just report He Yudong to the Blue Hats and say he's a traitor and a spy?" Yi Zhonghai suggested.

Xu Damao shook his head: "It's no use. This kid has a clean family background and was even in the army; it won't be that easy to mess with him. Besides, this kid is too good at fighting. Look at the state of those blue-hatted guys today—we need to think of another way."

"Bang bang bang—"

Just then, there was a knock on Xu Damao's door.

The three of them were immediately startled, and Xu Damao quickly asked, "Who is it?"

"Da Mao, it's me. Are Uncle Yi and Uncle Er here too?" Qin Huairu's voice came from the doorway.

Xu Damao was a little puzzled, but he still went over and opened the door. Seeing Qin Huairu, he smiled and said, "It's Sister Qin. Is there something you need?"

"I came to see Jingru and also to talk to you about something. Maybe I can help you. Aren't you going to invite me in?" Qin Huairu said with a smile.

"No way, Sister Qin, please come in." Xu Damao quickly greeted her, then said to Qin Jingru, "Jingru, your sister is here."

Qin Jingru then came out of the house, feeling a little strange. Her cousin rarely visited unless she wanted to borrow money. Why was she here to visit for no reason? Was she here to borrow money again?

Qin Huairu and Qin Jingru went inside, while Xu Damao and the other two continued discussing how to deal with He Yudong in the living room outside.

Qin Huairu listened for a while, then came out and said, "Are you discussing this event?"

"Qin Huairu, what do you, a woman, know? This is a matter for us men," Liu Haizhong said.

"Look at what you're saying, Second Uncle. Maybe I can even give you some advice. Who do you think you are? Aren't you just trying to deal with He Yudong?" Qin Huairu said.

Xu Damao and the other two looked at Qin Huairu. Xu Damao asked, "What's your idea?"

"Isn't that simple? Isn't Lou Xiao'e a capitalist? People like her exploit and oppress us ordinary folks, so of course we should go after Lou Xiao'e. Just think about it, if He Yudong wants to get involved, you'll have an excuse to deal with him..." Qin Huairu said casually, but in reality, she had been planning this for a long time.

Speaking of this compound, there were two people she hated the most: He Yudong and Lou Xiao'e. If Lou Xiao'e hadn't taken Sha Zhu away, he would still be letting her leech off him. She had long harbored resentment towards Lou Xiao'e, and this was a good opportunity to teach her a lesson.

If we manage to get Lou Xiao'e arrested, then Sha Zhu will likely go back to her. So what if Lou Xiao'e is pregnant now? We can just find a way to make her miscarry later.

Upon hearing Qin Huairu's words, Xu Damao and the other two immediately slapped their thighs. Xu Damao exclaimed, "How could I not have thought of that? Why did I make a move against Lou Xiao'e!"

Xu Damao naturally harbored resentment towards Lou Xiao'e—because after divorcing him, Lou Xiao'e married Sha Zhu and became pregnant, which was a slap in his face. It meant he, Xu Damao, was infertile. Therefore, he wished Lou Xiao'e misfortune upon herself, and he knew that Lou Xiao'e's treasure chest was definitely at Sha Zhu's house. He could take advantage of the house raid to seize those treasures and gold bars.

"But that's a bit difficult. He Yudong is too good at fighting. If he goes to Shazhu's house to cause trouble, even dozens of people won't be enough for He Yudong. We won't be able to do it either," Yi Zhonghai said.

He had his own little scheme in mind—initially, he wanted Sha Zhu to support him in his old age, but after He Yudong returned, he realized that this was unlikely. So, he thought that if Qin Huairu married Sha Zhu, had a son for Yi Zhonghai, and then Sha Zhu would support him in his old age, it would be a win-win-win situation! But unexpectedly, He Yudong ruined the whole thing. His reputation was also damaged afterward, and it was all He Yudong's fault.

"Why don't you just wait until He Yudong isn't home? I heard that Dr. Ding from the infirmary doesn't have a very good background," Qin Huairu said. "Oh dear, it's getting late, I won't disturb your business discussion any longer, I'll be going now."

Qin Huairu didn't linger, but she was secretly overjoyed. She had wanted to deal with Lou Xiao'e first, and then disgust He Yudong. Now that Xu Damao and the other two wanted to target He Yudong, she could take advantage of the opportunity—using someone else to do her dirty work was definitely one of Qin Huairu's specialties.

Even if this plan fails, He Yudong won't know that it was his idea; he just said it casually.

Xu Damao glanced at Qin Huairu's departing figure, cursing inwardly—this Qin Huairu is truly ruthless; she came up with such a brilliant idea even though he hadn't figured it out himself. He naturally knew what Qin Huairu was thinking, but Xu Damao didn't mind, because he did indeed want to deal with Sha Zhu's family.

If the factory's blue-hat workers were to deal with Ding Qiunan first, He Yudong would definitely be tied up, and then they could go back to the courtyard and take action against Lou Xiao'e and Sha Zhu.

At this moment, Sha Zhu had just returned from Lou Xiao'e's parents' house. Lou Xiao'e hadn't come back with him; instead, she wanted to stay at her parents' house for a couple more days. Sha Zhu had to go to work the next day, so he came back first.

He Yudong quickly asked, "Have you told your parents-in-law?"

Sha Zhu sighed and said, "I told them, but they didn't take it to heart. Yu Dong, is this really as serious as you say?"

"Forget it, even if you tell them now, they probably won't believe you. They'll find out later," He Yudong said.

"What should we do then?" Shazhu asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, things aren't that bad yet. This is just the beginning. Let's not get involved in that mess. Let them make a fuss if they want, just don't bother us," He Yudong said.

"You know, life was going so well, what are these people trying to do?" Sha Zhu was speechless.

"Of course it's a matter for those above," He Yudong said.

The next morning, when He Yudong arrived at the steel rolling mill, he noticed that something was clearly wrong.

It seemed like no one in the factory had stopped working; big-character posters were being put up everywhere. Ding Qiunan's eyes were a little red, and He Yudong quickly asked, "What's wrong? Qiunan, who bullied you?"

Ding Qiunan shook her head and said, "Brother Yudong, my parents were fired from the hospital."

"What happened?"

"Those people said my parents came back from abroad, and they can't let them continue working at the hospital until the facts are cleared up," Ding Qiunan said, feeling wronged. "My parents gave up such good treatment abroad to come back and serve their country. How could they do this to me!"

He Yudong pulled Ding Qiunan into his arms and said, "Don't worry, although they've lost their jobs, at least they're safe. Don't worry, with me here, everything will be alright."

"Mm." Ding Qiunan nodded, feeling really good to have He Yudong around.

Just then, a commotion of footsteps sounded outside the infirmary. A short while later, a group of people wearing blue hats arrived directly at the infirmary entrance.

The man in the lead was still limping—it was none other than Deputy Factory Director Li! This guy had only been discharged from the hospital not long ago, and through some shady means, he had become the director of the blue hat (a symbol of official power).

He Yudong frowned slightly when he saw that Deputy Factory Director Li looked hostile.

"What are you all doing gathered around the infirmary entrance?" He Yudong asked.

"He Yudong, we're not here to see you, we're here to see Doctor Ding," Deputy Factory Director Li sneered. He had brought so many people with him this time; if He Yudong dared to make a move, he would definitely take the opportunity to teach him a lesson.

Upon hearing that Deputy Factory Director Li had come to see Ding Qiunan, a cold glint flashed in He Yudong's eyes—this guy had already been castrated by him, and he was still thinking about Ding Qiunan!

"What do you want from me?" Ding Qiunan asked.

"Dr. Ding, we received a report, so please come back with us for investigation," said Deputy Factory Director Li.

"You're talking nonsense! Don't make false accusations!" Ding Qiunan was furious. Her parents were clearly patriotic overseas Chinese who had returned to China.

"Do you know your parents better, or does the organization know them better? Would we say that without evidence? Come with us right now, or else... hehe." Deputy Factory Director Li revealed a lewd smile.

"Otherwise what?" He Yudong stood up and blocked Ding Qiunan's way.

"He Yudong, today's matter has nothing to do with you, you'd better not interfere. I'm too lazy to hold a grudge against you for hitting me last time, but today, I'm taking Ding Qiunan with me," Deputy Factory Director Li said firmly. "Otherwise, I'll arrest you too."

After Deputy Factory Director Li finished speaking, he waved his hand, and immediately several people wearing blue hats walked in.

"Let's see who dares to touch her!" He Yudong shouted, slamming his hand directly on the examination table in the infirmary.
