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

Jia Dongxu's eyes turned red as he listened, and his teeth clenched so tightly they made a grinding sound.

He had long suspected that the divorce was not simple, and now it had indeed come true.

But right now, with his mother protecting Sha Zhu, he couldn't move no matter how much he hated her, and could only clench his fists and stare helplessly.

"Good heavens, what's Sha Zhu up to? Is he obsessed with finding a wife?"

Liu Guangfu muttered in a low voice.

Yan Jiecheng gave Sha Zhu a thumbs up: "I told you long ago, this Sha Zhu is no ordinary person! He can even come up with this kind of trick - first coaxing Qin Huairu into getting a divorce, and then turning around and going after Jia Zhangshi."

How much hatred must one have for Qin Huairu to have gone to such lengths!

Everyone chimed in with their own opinions, but no one could definitively say what was right or wrong.

If this happened between an ordinary man and woman, everyone in the courtyard would have been cursing Sha Zhu for being heartless and unfaithful.

But right now, all they could see were Qin Huairu and Jia Zhangshi... Everyone looked at each other, unsure of where to even begin their tirade.

Logically speaking, anyone would choose Qin Huairu, so Sha Zhu's actions are really baffling.

He Yushui was so anxious that she kept stamping her feet.

She had finally persuaded Qin Huairu to divorce her husband, and just as her sister-in-law was about to move in, an unexpected turn of events occurred. "Brother! Wake up! Do you know what you're doing?"

She shouted at the top of her lungs.

Sha Zhu just sneered. "What you do is none of my business."

He glanced sideways at Qin Huairu, looking every bit like a shrewd, unscrupulous old man. "When did I ever promise in black and white that I would marry you? You actually took it seriously just because it was a casual remark?"

Qin Huairu was speechless, her face turning pale.

Sha Zhu then turned to He Yushui and sneered, "You dare to talk to me like that? I'd like to ask you, are you my sister or Qin Huairu's sister? If you hadn't been nagging me all the time, insisting that I marry this shameless woman, would I have been so annoyed by you that I would have given that casual reply?"

These words were like a dull knife, piercing deep into their hearts.

Qin Huairu could no longer hold back, and tears streamed down her face—for the first time, she felt as if her dignity had been slapped to the ground.

He Yushui quickly stepped forward to help her up: "Sister Qin, don't cry. Don't you know what my brother was like before? He must have been bewitched and lost his mind! Once he's cured of this madness, he'll definitely marry you again..."

He Yushui offered words of comfort, but her heart was filled with anxiety.

She was genuinely afraid that Qin Huairu would change her mind and seek another way out. Wouldn't she lose her sister-in-law? However, her words not only failed to comfort her, but instead felt like a thorn, making Qin Huairu feel even more distressed.

To Qin Huairu, this was tantamount to publicly declaring that she was unwanted and had lost all face.

What's more... she glanced at the crazed Sha Zhu and felt a chill run through her.

She dared not have much hope that the person would regain consciousness.

"The most important thing right now is to subdue Sha Zhu."

"But if we can't do anything to him, who else can we turn to?"

Upon hearing He Yushui's words, Liu Guangfu shook his head with a wry smile, his tone filled with helplessness.

What is said unintentionally may be taken to heart by the listener.

He Yushui's eyes suddenly lit up, like a flash of lightning in the dark night.

She suddenly turned her head and looked toward Hao Jianguo's room.

Why did it take her so long to remember! If we're talking about who's the most skilled in this courtyard, it has to be Hao Jianguo.

Previously, under his command, Brother Sha was like a little chick, completely powerless.

"Oh, right, Hao Jianguo!"

She slapped her forehead in frustration, cursing herself for being foolish, and hurried towards Hao Jianguo's house.

Seeing He Yushui rushing over in a flurry, Hao Jianguo already had a pretty good idea of ​​what was going on.

Sending him to deal with Sha Zhu? That's just wishful thinking.

"Hao Jianguo, hurry up! Hold my brother down!"

Before He Yushui could even stand properly, the order had already slipped out, his tone harsh, as if he were assigning a task to his own servant.

"Let's go now!"

She added a sentence, her eagerness evident in her words.

Hao Jianguo found her self-righteous demeanor laughable and simply turned his head away, pretending not to hear.

In his eyes, this girl had completely lost her mind.

Regardless of whether he wanted to get involved at all, his pleading manner alone was enough to make him keep his distance.

He was afraid that if he wasted his breath arguing with someone who couldn't see things clearly, others would think he wasn't quite normal either.

The more Hao Jianguo ignored her, the more enthusiastic He Yushui became.

"Hao Jianguo! I'm talking to you, did you hear me?"

Her voice rose, tinged with anger, "You're the only one in this courtyard who can control my brother right now. If you don't do anything, are you just going to stand by and watch?"

She became more and more agitated as she spoke, as if Hao Jianguo's failure to show up would be a huge mistake.

Yi Zhonghai and his group were drawn by the commotion and realized what was going on.

Upon closer reflection, it seems that the only person who can truly keep Sha Zhu in check right now is Hao Jianguo.

But He Yushui's attitude... The group looked at each other, speechless.

When asking for help, how can you be so arrogant? It's like someone owes her something.

Having dealt with Hao Jianguo extensively, Yi Zhonghai had a good grasp of his temperament and knew that things were bound to go wrong if things continued this way.

Sure enough, Hao Jianguo finally turned around, his brows furrowed and his face full of impatience.

"Are you crazy? Get out of here!"

"Do I owe you anything? Just because Stupid Zhu's gone mad, does that mean I have to get involved? Besides,"

He gave He Yushui a once-over, his tone even colder, "Look at your own attitude! Why should I help you? Get out of here!"

These words came straight at her, leaving He Yushui speechless and her face turning pale.

She opened her mouth, but the words stuck in her throat.

Yu Li, who had been watching from the sidelines, couldn't stand it any longer. She stepped forward and said in a clear voice, "He Yushui, how dare you say that? Don't you even remember what you two did before!"

"Weren't we all so arrogant yesterday? What did we do to deserve this? We got scolded by you for no reason."

Now, they're asking us for help?

Yu Li looked at her, her eyes filled with disbelief. "He Yushui, is your brain filled with mush, not rainwater?"

"How did you treat us back then? Now you have the nerve to make demands of us? I'm truly curious."

Yu Li shook her head. "What were you thinking when you said something like that?"

"That's absolutely out of the ordinary!"

Yu Li retorted without hesitation.

In her eyes, it was wishful thinking for these people to try and take advantage of Hao Jianguo.

He Yushui's face immediately turned ugly after being rebuked by Yu Li.

She opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a single word; she could only stand there helplessly.

Yi Zhonghai and others, who were watching from a distance, all shook their heads.

In their view, He Yushui's actions at this moment were simply asking for trouble—how could Hao Jianguo and his wife be so easily manipulated?

"Besides, judging from how energetic your brother was just now, he might even give Jia Dongxu an older brother after marrying Jia Zhangshi."

Yu Li added sarcastically.

These words were meant as a casual jab, but to everyone's surprise, Sha Zhu burst into laughter upon hearing them, patting his chest with a cheerful smile.

"Hahaha, of course! I may not be good at anything else, but I'm definitely very strong!"

Upon hearing this, Jia Zhangshi's cheeks flushed red, and her eyes and brows revealed an undisguised joy.

In contrast, Jia Dongxu was seething with hatred, glaring at Sha Zhu with malice, his mind churning with vicious schemes, waiting for the right moment to make this fool pay the price.

At this moment, the deaf old woman rolled her eyes and whispered in Yi Zhonghai's ear, "Zhonghai, look at Shazhu's appearance, it seems that his old illness has relapsed. It might be the result of his previous encounter with evil spirits."

She spoke with great conviction.

Qin Huairu, who was standing next to her, nodded repeatedly. She knew best how Sha Zhu had treated her in the past. If it weren't for the aftereffects of being possessed by an evil spirit, the current situation would be hard to explain.

"What should we do then? Should we consult a shaman again? Or... continue to force-feed the boy's urine and chicken blood?"

Although Yi Zhonghai felt that the old lady's words made sense, he still had some doubts.

After what happened with Wang the Taoist priest last time, he was afraid that if he were to resort to these superstitious tricks again, he might not be able to fool people so easily next time.

The deaf old woman immediately shook her head: "It's not that she's possessed by an evil spirit, but rather that she's having some kind of mental breakdown."

In my opinion, we can't handle this. We need to contact the mental hospital immediately and have them send someone to take him away for treatment.

She glanced at Qin Huairu as she spoke.

After all, Qin Huairu had been in and out of prison, and now she seemed to be in good health. The old lady thought that as long as Sha Zhu also received treatment, he would surely recover.

But when Qin Huairu heard "mental hospital"...

Those four words sent a chill down my spine.

Recalling what she had experienced, she almost contemplated suicide.

"The matter hasn't escalated yet, so we should get someone over here as soon as possible to minimize the impact."

Otherwise, if things really escalate, it won't just be Sha Zhu who loses face; all of us will lose face too.

These words finally persuaded Yi Zhonghai.

He nodded, then turned and ran out of the courtyard.

The old lady had lowered her voice, and only a few people nearby could hear her clearly.

She was worried that Sha Zhu would notice and stop her, but her worries were unnecessary—Sha Zhu was only focused on his "Xiao Zhang" at the moment, and had no time to pay attention to other people's whispers.

He only glanced at Yi Zhonghai, who was leaving in a hurry, before putting his arm around Jia Zhangshi and going into the house.

With the door wide open, and ignoring the neighbors still gathered at the entrance, he began to speak intimately with Jia Zhangshi in front of everyone.

That sickeningly sweet feeling gave Xu Damao and the others goosebumps.

"Good heavens, being single for too long can really cause problems."

I can't go on like this; I have to find a partner soon.

Otherwise, who knows if I'll end up like Sha Zhu.

Thinking of this, Xu Damao couldn't help but shudder.

About ten minutes later, Yi Zhonghai led the staff of the mental hospital into the courtyard, preparing to take Sha Zhu away.

"What do you think you're doing? I'm warning you, don't mess around, or I won't be so polite... Ah!"

Because Yi Zhonghai had instructed them beforehand, the staff who came this time had prepared some special measures.

Before Sha Zhu could finish speaking, he was struck by the stun gun and collapsed limply to the ground.

"Silly Zhu!"

Upon witnessing this scene, Jia Zhangshi immediately screamed.

But not long after, she suffered the same fate as Sha Zhu, collapsing to the ground after being electrocuted.

Only then did Yi Zhonghai and the others dare to enter Sha Zhu's house.

Upon seeing the appearance of Sha Zhu and Jia Zhangshi, everyone couldn't help but frown.

Although the two were electrocuted, they did not completely lose consciousness.

Her body was convulsing, yet she still tried desperately to grab the other person's hand.

The staff, of course, wouldn't let them succeed so easily. They separated the two men's hands and took them away separately.

Along the way, Sha Zhu and Jia Zhangshi continued their bickering and struggle to touch each other, looking like a pair of star-crossed lovers forced to separate.

Watching the two figures being led away, everyone fell silent for a moment.

However, no one said anything more at this point—the courtyard had finally returned to peace and quiet.

And so the day passed by in a daze.

……

The first thing everyone did after getting up the next morning was to talk about what happened with Sha Zhu the day before.

This is, after all, quite a big news story in the hospital.

An older man marrying a younger woman—if you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, you probably wouldn't believe it's true.

"Sigh, although feudal superstition is unacceptable, I still want to say that our courtyard is really a bit eerie."

The whole affair between Sha Zhu and Jia Zhangshi is too suspicious.

Aunt San couldn't help but speak up, and the words almost spilled over again, bringing up "feng shui."

Two characters.

But after the earlier reprimand, she swallowed her words and changed her tune.

Aunt Er nodded nervously, "That's right! If you ask me, both the He family and the Jia family are strange. We should avoid going near them in the future to avoid getting involved with anything unclean. You understand?"

Several middle-aged women whispered among themselves, their eyes filled with obvious wariness as they looked at the Jia and He families.

"Alas, there are no secrets that stay hidden forever."

Our courtyard house is now quite famous, but unfortunately, it's all infamy.

Liu Haizhong stood with his hands behind his back, looking utterly helpless.

Yan Bugui shook his head and sighed: "This is the consequence of not studying."

That kid, Sha Zhu, never liked studying, which is why he's gotten to this point.

If you ask me, our compound really needs to improve its education system.

Of all the people, Xu Damao was the only one in a particularly cheerful mood.

Unlike others, Liu Haizhong and the others always wanted to separate Sha Zhu and Jia Zhangshi, but Xu Damao felt that it might be quite interesting to have the two of them together.

"Sigh, why do these people have to be so cruel? Why not just forcibly separate a couple and let them be together?"
