Courtyard House: The Frog Boy Brings Back a Genetic Potion at the Start

At least the He family has no elders to serve, and with her skills, she can completely control He Yuzhu.

At that time, she will be the one in charge of the family and can do whatever she wants—wouldn't that be a hundred times better than living in the Jia family?

Although He Yuzhu has been having a string of bad luck lately and is currently working as an apprentice in the workshop, Qin Huairu can see clearly that Yi Zhonghai has always treated him like a son and is counting on him to take care of him in his old age. He would never stand by and watch He Yuzhu fall into poverty.

I will definitely do my best to teach him skills and help him improve his level in the future.

As technical skills improve, income naturally increases.

Even if he can't compare to Hao Jianguo, he can at least make the young couple live comfortably.

The more Qin Huairu thought about these things, the more eager she became to marry He Yuzhu and escape the quagmire of the Jia family as soon as possible.

After talking with He Yushui for a while, she turned and walked towards the Jia family, determined to lay everything bare today.

No sooner had she stepped inside than Jia Zhangshi launched into a tirade of abuse, her finger practically poking her nose, treating her like she was no human being.

"Shameless! Tell me, what were you whispering about with that little hussy He Yushui outside? With such a huge scandal at home, how could you still have the nerve to laugh!"

Before she could finish speaking, Jia Zhangshi grabbed a broom from the corner of the wall and started hitting Qin Huairu head-on. Her distorted face looked like a demon crawling out of hell.

In Qin Huairu's eyes, at this moment she was probably less than a dog in Jia Zhangshi's heart, subject to beatings and scoldings, without any dignity.

What chilled her to the bone was that Jia Dongxu, sitting in a wheelchair not far away, also started cursing, cheering and urging Jia Zhangshi to beat him to death.

"That slut is definitely up to no good again! Mom, give her a good beating! She never learns!"

"You damned bastard, how dare you cuckold me? Let me tell you, even if I'm crippled, you'll be living a life of celibacy for the rest of your life!"

A horrifying grin spread across Jia Dongxu's twisted face, his gaze piercing Qin Huairu like a poisoned needle, his eyes churning with an almost tangible resentment.

He knew perfectly well that he was a useless person, but the unbalanced fire of jealousy in his chest burned so fiercely that his internal organs ached.

He was helpless against Hao Jianguo, and with nowhere to vent his anger, he finally channeled it all into a sadistic desire to abuse the woman in front of him.

Although she had long seen through the filth in this family's bones, when she faced them again now, Qin Huairu still felt a deep sense of disappointment, as if she had been soaked in ice water.

If it were in the past—before that long late-night talk with He Yushui—she would probably have had no choice but to grit her teeth and bear it, because at that time she had no way out, and there was only a cliff behind her.

But times have changed.

Since Sha Zhu was willing to marry her under such circumstances, Qin Huairu finally grasped a glimmer of hope and a shore to rely on.

The net that once bound her, the Jia family, now seems to be nothing more than a fragile illusion.

So when Jia Zhangshi swung the broom and struck her head, Qin Huairu neither dodged nor passively accepted it as she usually did.

She suddenly raised her hand, her five fingers gripping the swinging broom handle tightly like iron clamps.

Madam Jia was stunned, her cloudy eyes filled with disbelief—this timid daughter-in-law dared to resist? She immediately pulled back fiercely, the veins on the back of her withered hand bulging, trying to take back the "family law" that represented authority.

But Qin Huairu put in all her strength this time, her knuckles turning white, and the broom handle remained motionless in her palm.

Instead, she suddenly exerted force and pulled back, forcefully snatching the entire broom away.

Qin Huairu flipped her wrist, and the broom handle drew a semi-circle in the air, as if she was about to swing it at Jia Zhangshi.

This sudden counterattack startled Jia Zhangshi, who trembled all over. Her eyes widened, and she shouted shrilly, "You've gone too far! Qin Huairu, how dare you!"

The stern shout, like an old incantation, caused Qin Huairu to instinctively freeze in her tracks.

However, the fear she had shown earlier was completely gone from her eyes when she looked at Jia Zhangshi; only a cold disdain remained.

"Jia Zhangshi,"

Her voice wasn't loud, but every word struck like a hammer blow: "It's not that I'm afraid, it's that I disdain it."

From now on, you can no longer control me.

These words were like a spark thrown into a hot oil pan, and Madam Jia immediately flew into a rage: "What did you say? You've gone too far! Qin Huairu, who do you think you are? Without the Jia family, you're nothing! You ungrateful wretch—"

Foul language poured out like a venomous snake's tongue, and Jia Zhangshi was completely unaware that the person in front of her had been transformed.

Before her curses could even finish, Qin Huairu had already raised the broom she had snatched and brought it down with a whoosh!

The broom's shadow struck Jia Zhangshi squarely on the head and face.

Caught off guard, she screamed in agony, her withered body curling up and convulsing.

"mom!"

Confined to his wheelchair, Jia Dongxu's eyes were bloodshot as he hissed and cursed, "Qin Huairu, you slut! Our Jia family gave you food and shelter, turned you from a peasant into a city dweller, and you dare—"

In his heart, Qin Huairu was always a dog that relied on the Jia family's charity to survive, and she deserved to wag her tail in gratitude.

At this moment, this "dog"

How dare it turn its back on its master! It's simply defying the natural order.

But he didn't finish his curse either.

Qin Huairu swept up to him like a cold wind, raised her leg, and kicked the side of the wheelchair hard!

The wheelchair suddenly tipped over.

Jia Dongxu screamed and rolled to the ground, where he rolled into a ball with Jia Zhangshi, who was covering her face and wailing beside him.

The mother and son lay sprawled in the dust, hurled vulgarities and vicious curses at each other, an unbearable sight.

Looking at the mess on the ground and the two faces twisted with resentment, Qin Huairu felt a surge of intense disgust and exhaustion.

Especially when he saw Jia Zhangshi struggling and trying to pounce on him and tear him apart, his last bit of patience finally broke down.

"That's enough!"

She suddenly roared, her voice like a thunderclap, shaking the roof beams and causing dust to fall.

Jia Zhangshi was stunned by this unprecedented rage, and her attack froze halfway through.

She was a bully who preyed on the weak and feared the strong. After several exchanges, she hadn't gained any advantage and now had several bruises all over her body.

Faced with Qin Huairu's cold, burning eyes and the resolute aura emanating from her body, she finally became afraid. Her throat bobbed, and she dared not make a move.

"What...what do you want?"

Madam Jia's voice trembled as she forced up her last bit of bravado, "Qin Huairu, let me tell you, without the Jia family you are nothing! Now, put down the broom, clean this house, and I... I'll pretend nothing happened!"

At this moment, Jia Zhangshi forced herself to maintain her composure and uttered a harsh sentence, but before the words had even finished, she was met with an undisguised sneer from Qin Huairu.

His gaze swept across the room lightly, as if he were not looking at his mother-in-law, but at a clumsy clown jumping around on a stage.

"Yes, yes, you're right. Without your Jia family, I'm nothing."

Qin Huairu snorted coldly, her tone revealing utter weariness, "Since you look down on me so much, I don't want to stay here anymore."

Tomorrow, we'll go and get the paperwork done.

These words were like a bucket of cold water suddenly poured into a pot of boiling oil. Both Jia Zhangshi and Jia Dongxu were stunned and didn't come to their senses for a long time.

No one expected "divorce"

These two words will come out of Qin Huairu's mouth again, and at this very moment.

Despite all the fuss she'd caused before, everyone thought she'd given up and resigned herself to her fate.

Who would have thought...

"Are you crazy! Qin Huairu, do you know what nonsense you're spouting?"

Jia Zhangshi suddenly raised her voice and roared, her face turning bright red, looking furious.

But beneath that bluster, a sense of panic was creeping into his heart.

She understood better than anyone else that no matter how much she looked down on this daughter-in-law, the Jia family really couldn't do without her right now.

Without Qin Huairu, who will earn money in the future? And who will take over all these trivial chores?

This family is probably really going to fall apart.

"You bastard! I get it now, you've been hooking up with someone outside, that's why you dare to have such thoughts? Let me tell you, dream on! Even if I die, I'll never let you have your way!"

Jia Dongxu roared along, his face contorted with excitement, revealing a fierce and ferocious expression.

These words were like a needle, piercing Qin Huairu's heart.

She was furious and without saying a word, grabbed the broom next to her and started hitting Jia Dongxu on the head.

"What nonsense are you spouting! Have you gone back on your word? Who was it that begged me to agree to a divorce if I went to Hao Jianguo's place? You…"

She grew angrier as she spoke, and each blow she struck became heavier than the last. The dull thud of the broom handle hitting flesh mingled with Jia Dongxu's groans, creating a chaotic explosion in the room.

Seeing her son being taken advantage of, Jia Zhangshi could no longer sit still and rushed over to try to pull Qin Huairu away.

In the struggle, the two women also got into a physical fight.

……

The Jia family was in an astonishing commotion that night.

Those unrestrained curses and cries could be heard clearly through the doors and windows, reaching every corner of the courtyard.

Normally, someone would have intervened and tried to break up the fight.

But the situation is different now.

The Jia family's reputation in this courtyard was already utterly ruined.

Who would want to get involved in such a mess? Besides, which of those families is easy to get along with? If you rashly step in, you might not only fail to mediate the fight but also get yourself into trouble.

Even Liu Haizhong, who usually acts like a leader, pretended to be deaf and dumb this time, acting as if he knew nothing.

For most neighbors, there was plenty of excitement to watch, so why bother making trouble for themselves? They were just killing time anyway, and listening to the Jia family's chaotic antics could help relieve their boredom.

The next morning, people began to gather in small groups in the courtyard.

Since there was nothing to do on my day off, last night's commotion became excellent fodder for conversation.

Especially after Qin Huairu brought up "divorce" again.

This matter, like a large stone thrown into a calm pond, stirred up waves of discussion.

These days, divorce is a huge deal; for some families, it's like the sky is falling.

Even if ordinary couples have deep conflicts, they will mostly grit their teeth and endure it for a lifetime, making do and getting by.

"Sigh, I really didn't expect Qin Huairu to be so firm this time, she's going straight to divorce me."

The elderly woman shook her head and sighed, her face filled with confusion and emotion.

Yi Zhonghai, sitting next to him, remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he knew everything perfectly well.

He heard He Yushui and Shazhu's conversation clearly last night.

Most likely, it was that girl who instigated things behind the scenes, getting her brother involved.

Thinking about this, Yi Zhonghai felt a little unhappy.

But then he thought again that he didn't want to get involved in Sha Zhu's messy affairs anymore, lest he get himself into trouble.

Now, he's completely come to terms with it and has "laid it off."

The.

As long as Sha Zhu can still be relied upon in the future to take care of him in his old age and see him off in his final days, let that kid do whatever he wants.

From a certain perspective, it's much better that Sha Zhu can still take care of him in his old age and see him off after marrying Qin Huairu, than for Sha Zhu to marry someone else.

"Don't meddle in other people's business."

Yi Zhonghai spoke up, "We should stay as far away from the messy Jia family as possible. Let's just live our own lives peacefully."

He was indeed a little worried that his wife would be unable to resist asking about other people's business.

Upon hearing Yi Zhonghai's words, Aunt Yi couldn't help but look up at him.

It should be noted that Yi Zhonghai had previously been quite involved in all matters, big and small, within the hospital.

However, Aunt Yi also knew that Yi Zhonghai's thoughts had changed due to a series of troubles he had encountered recently.

For Aunt Yi, her husband's change actually made her feel relieved—at least it reduced a lot of unnecessary trouble for her family.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing and won't interfere."

Aunt Yi immediately assured Yi Zhonghai.

In fact, it wasn't just Yi Zhonghai's family; other people in the courtyard were also discussing it privately at this time.

Xu Damao and several unmarried young men squatted in a corner of the yard, their eyes occasionally glancing towards the Jia family's house, their expressions showing a hint of interest in watching the spectacle.

"I never expected that Qin Huairu, who is usually so quiet, would suddenly demand a divorce last night."

Xu Damao grinned. "But then again, I couldn't live like that either—being beaten and scolded every other day, who could stand it?"

As he spoke, he unconsciously licked the corner of his mouth, a sight that made Liu Guangfu and the others next to him frown.

"But if Qin Huairu really gets divorced, how will she live on her own?"

Liu Guangfu's question immediately drew sneers from Xu Damao.

"Liu Guangfu, are you out of your mind?"

Xu Damao said in a low voice, "It's the Jia family that can't survive without the Jia family."
