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

"Uncle Yi, you...you have to help me make a decision! You can't just ignore this!"

Seeing that Yi Zhonghai was about to leave, Qin Huairu became really anxious and grabbed his sleeve, her voice trembling.

Yi Zhonghai frowned as he glanced at her, and finally just sighed heavily.

This mess was already enough to annoy him, and he really didn't want to get involved in Qin Huairu's affairs.

"What can I do? I've already tried to persuade them, and you've seen it all."

He pulled Qin Huairu's hand away, shook his head, and turned to leave.

"Deaf old lady, I..."

Qin Huairu was still not satisfied, so she turned to look at the old lady, hoping to ask her to intervene.

In the past, Sha Zhu listened to her and Uncle Yi the most.

The deaf old woman was already seething with anger, and when she saw Qin Huairu still getting closer, she flew into a rage and decided to vent all her anger on her:

"What good is it for you to come to me, this old woman? Don't get in my way! Besides, didn't you bring this all on yourself? Who told you to get a divorce? What does it have to do with me? Did I force you to get a divorce?"

The old woman walked away, grumbling and cursing, leaning on her cane.

She really didn't want to get involved in Qin Huairu's affair, nor could she—could she force Sha Zhu and Jia Zhangshi to separate? Or was she supposed to make Qin Huairu and Jia Dongxu remarry? In that case, Sha Zhu would become their father, what kind of absurd thing would that be!

The mere thought of this made the old lady feel embarrassed for Qin Huairu.

The fact that those two figures, who were like pillars of strength in her heart, left without any hesitation sent a chill down Qin Huairu's spine.

She stared blankly at the two figures as they walked away, then her body went limp and she collapsed to the ground.

In that instant, Qin Huairu felt as if she had fallen into an abyss, unable to find even a glimmer of light.

"Sister Qin, I understand you resent me... but could you give me a chance to do something for you? For now, why don't you move in with me? At least you'll have a place to stay."

Just then, He Yushui suddenly approached and spoke softly.

It's unclear what she was really thinking, but she seemed to be saying, "No matter how you treat me, I will still treat you the same."

Its appearance.

Qin Huairu gave He Yushui a deep look, but said nothing. In her heart, she knew perfectly well that she had no other choice but to rely on He Yushui.

He Yushui's eyes also held a hint of resentment.

The thought that Jia Zhangshi would become her sister-in-law made her stomach churn, and she almost vomited.

"This can't be done...this absolutely cannot be done."

Just now, Uncle Yi and the others said that my brother must have been possessed by an evil spirit, and there must be a way to bring him back.

But he's incredibly strong now; who in the courtyard can subdue him?

He Yushui pondered repeatedly in her mind, but her gaze finally fell on Hao Jianguo.

Now, in her view, perhaps only Hao Jianguo has the ability to "save" her.

Sha Zhu is dumbfounded—after all, in the entire courtyard, only Hao Jianguo's skills can keep Sha Zhu in check right now.

He Yushui gritted her teeth.

Despite having been rebuffed by Hao Jianguo, she still took a step and walked towards Hao Jianguo in order to prevent Qin Huairu from becoming her sister-in-law and to help her brother return to normal.

Actually, Hao Jianguo was already a little impatient when he saw He Yushui coming over.

He knew that the little girl was probably here to bother him again.

"Let's go back inside."

Hao Jianguo turned his head and said something to Yu Li, then took her hand and was about to leave.

"Hao Jianguo, wait!"

Seeing that they were about to leave, He Yushui hurriedly called out to them, "Only you can help with this now. You can't just stand by and do nothing, can you? If my brother continues to act like this, our hospital's reputation will suffer too."

Since you live in this courtyard, you should at least lend a hand.

This time, He Yushui finally learned her lesson and stopped acting so matter-of-factly.

Hao Jianguo scoffed, "To stand by and watch someone die? That's an interesting way to put it."

Did you see Shazhu dying? No, right? He's lively and energetic, how could he possibly be "dead"?

He Yushui was speechless for a moment.

"Besides, even if he really wanted to commit suicide, what obligation do I have to take care of him? What does his life or death have to do with me? We're not related, so just because we're neighbors, am I obligated to take responsibility for his life? What law stipulates that?"

These words left He Yushui speechless.

Hao Jianguo continued, "Besides, even if I had extraordinary abilities, could I stop others from falling in love? Moreover, I don't have any extraordinary abilities at all."

The key point is that you saw it yourself—a deaf old woman who treated Sha Zhu like her own grandson, and Yi Zhonghai who treated him like his own son, did they intervene?

"These people who are closest to you are not involved, and there are still old grudges between us."

You come to your enemy for help? Don't you think that's absurd?

As he spoke, Hao Jianguo's gaze swept meaningfully toward the deaf old woman and Yi Zhonghai.

The two men naturally heard these words, and their faces turned pale and then red, extremely embarrassed.

Although Hao Jianguo did not spell it out explicitly, everyone understood the implied meaning.

Isn't this tantamount to accusing them of "failing to help someone in distress"?

幺？

Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady opened their mouths as if to argue, but swallowed their words back.

Ultimately, they didn't actually try to stop them.

As the old saying goes, it's better to tear down ten temples than to break up one marriage.

Now that Sha Zhu and Jia Zhangshi have gotten their marriage certificate, what can we do besides offer our blessings? Are we really going to break them up?

As Hao Jianguo spoke, he glanced at Yi Zhonghai and said, "As long as we can get by, that's fine."

"Don't you all know what kind of conditions Sha Zhu has? He's lucky he even managed to get a wife, don't you think, Uncle Yi?"

Yi Zhonghai rolled his eyes, turned his head away, too lazy to reply, afraid of getting into trouble.

Xu Damao and a few others who usually didn't get along with Sha Zhu exchanged glances and then gathered around He Yushui with smiles.

Yan Jiecheng grinned and said, "Rain, this time I think Jianguo is right."

"Your brother finally got married, you should be happy for him, what's all the fuss about?"

Xu Damao rubbed the tip of his nose and continued, "If you ask me, Sha Zhu has taken the lead among the bachelors here, so we should congratulate him."

The deed is done, there's no use being unhappy about it now, so just accept it as your sister-in-law.

He Yushui was already upset, and after being scolded by these people, her eyes immediately reddened.

She glared fiercely at Xu Damao and the others: "Get out! Who wants to acknowledge that kind of sister-in-law? I'd rather my brother stay single for life than have someone like that enter the He family!"

The more she cursed, the more enthusiastic the men became.

Xu Damao, with a mischievous glint in his eyes, deliberately sighed, "It's no use cursing all you want, you already have the marriage certificate in your hands."

He Yushui stomped her foot and rushed to the Jia family's gate, shouting inside, "Shazhu! Come out here! If you still consider me your sister, then get a divorce right now! Do you really want the He family line to end?"

Sha Zhu, who was inside the house, frowned and walked out with a look of impatience.

Upon seeing her brother's expression, He Yushui burst into tears—he had never looked at her with such disgust before.

"Have you said enough?"

Sha Zhu's tone was cold and hard, "If you really don't want me as your brother, so be it."

"You can have the house, okay?"

The surroundings fell silent instantly.

Everyone could tell that these words were practically a threat to sever the siblings' relationship.

Although some people had previously gossiped behind his back that Sha Zhu treated his sister worse than Qin Huairu, it was mostly just a joke.

But now that he's saying it, it all sounds different.

He Yushui cried so hard that her whole body trembled, tears streaming down her face.

But no one around came forward to comfort her.

Today's situation is partly due to her own actions.

"Brother...you're abandoning your sister for Jia Zhangshi?"

She sobbed, pointing at Xu Damao and his group, "Listen to what they're saying! That's no real blessing! They're clearly making fun of you for marrying Jia Zhangshi! Wake up! Hurry up and yell back, hurry up and get a divorce!"

Xu Damao and the others stood with their arms crossed, a half-smile on their faces.

Upon hearing He Yushui's words, everyone looked helpless, and their eyes flashed with annoyance.

He was secretly annoyed: He Yushui's unwillingness for Shazhu to marry Jia Zhangshi was a private matter, why involve others?

They even encouraged Sha Zhu to attack us?

That's utterly absurd.

Xu Damao and the others secretly grumbled to themselves.

However, when they looked at Sha Zhu, a look of worry still appeared on their faces, fearing that he might actually believe He Yushui's words and throw a punch at them.

Sha Zhu finally made a move.

To Xu Damao and the others' slight relief, he did not rush towards them. Instead, he took a few steps to He Yushui and slapped her hard across the face.

He Yushui cried out in pain.

Sha Zhu had immense strength; this single slap loosened one of her teeth.

She trembled and collapsed to the ground, blood seeping from the corner of her mouth.

That slap completely stunned her.

She never expected that her brother, who had always protected her, would actually lay a hand on her.

"Shut up! He Yushui, stop calling me brother. I don't have a sister like you."

Whether Xu Damao and the others were using this as an opportunity to mock me, I don't care. I only know that they at least offered their blessings—especially Hao Jianguo.

As Sha Zhu spoke, he turned to look at Hao Jianguo.

Unlike before, Sha Zhu, who used to harbor resentment towards Hao Jianguo and always plotted against him, now had a completely different expression.

His eyes were filled with gratitude.

Even Hao Jianguo himself was surprised by this change.

"I was wrong before, I even thought about going against Hao Jianguo... I was really confused, Hao Jianguo is the real good person in this courtyard."

As Sha Zhu spoke, he gave Hao Jianguo a thumbs-up.

"Of all the people, only Hao Jianguo was the first to speak up for me and the first to wish me well."

From this day forward, Hao Jianguo is my brother.

These words caused an uproar in the room.

Everyone stared at Sha Zhu with wide eyes, as if they had seen a ghost.

No one expected that such words would come from Sha Zhu's mouth.

Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady shook their heads repeatedly and sighed softly, "It's over."

In their view, Sha Zhu was already insane and beyond saving—to regard Hao Jianguo as a "friend" was simply absurd and incomprehensible.

Even Hao Jianguo raised an eyebrow slightly, squinted at Sha Zhu, and his expression revealed a subtle hint.

He Yushui even forgot the pain on her face, stunned by her brother's words.

In her heart, the fact that Sha Zhu recognized Hao Jianguo as a "brother" was more unacceptable than being slapped.

"you……"

He Yushui was furious, but she knew that if she continued to argue, she would not be in the right.

She suddenly turned her head and glared at Jia Zhangshi inside the room. Seeing the other woman's blushing face, she felt so disgusted that she almost vomited blood.

"You're insane! Who is that Jia Zhangshi? Don't you even know how old she is? She's practically half-buried! How could things end well for you two together? He Yuzhu, can't you wake up!"

He Yushui screamed at the top of her lungs.

These words thoroughly enraged Shazhu.

At this moment, in his heart, Jia Zhangshi was his beloved, and he could not tolerate anyone else.

He yanked He Yushui up from the ground, and before she could react, he swung his arm and delivered three more heavy slaps to her face.

He Yushui's cheeks immediately became red and swollen, and she felt dizzy and saw stars before her eyes.

This time, Sha Zhu was really serious—he would never allow anyone to insult Jia Zhangshi.

Even for a fleeting moment, a ridiculous thought crossed his mind.

Even if Jia Zhangshi truly couldn't survive, he was willing to go to the underworld with her.

"He Yushui, I'm saying this for the last time: no matter what you think, Jia Zhangshi is your sister-in-law, your rightful sister-in-law! If I hear you say another bad word about her, don't blame me for disregarding our sibling relationship!"

Sha Zhu roared like a furious beast, his voice so loud it made your eardrums tremble.

He Yushui was so frightened by his appearance that she trembled all over and froze on the spot.

Xu Damao and the others watching from the side exchanged glances.

Although they were happy to see Sha Zhu go crazy, they were also puzzled: what kind of magic did Jia Zhangshi have that could make Sha Zhu risk his life and even abandon his own sister?

At this moment, Qin Huairu moved over, sobbing, her face full of sorrow and grief.

This was her most effective tactic for dealing with Sha Zhu.

At this moment, she still clung to the last glimmer of hope, hoping that Sha Zhu would change his mind.

In the past, all she had to do was give Sha Zhu a mournful look, and he would immediately soften and give in.

But this time it's clearly different.

She looked at Sha Zhu with teary eyes and said resentfully, "Sha Zhu, what's wrong with you? Why do you suddenly seem like a different person? I don't even recognize you anymore."

Please wake up.
