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

Everyone looked at each other, secretly thinking about the "newlyweds."

Cheers.

One dared to speak, and the other dared to respond.

Could it be that these two really couldn't see that He Daqing was so angry that his face had turned pale and he was almost passing out?

He Daqing was trembling all over.

He knew Jia Zhangshi's usual appearance all too well, but at this moment he was deliberately putting on this delicate and coquettish act.

Especially that one word, "father-in-law," made He Daqing's stomach churn, and he almost vomited.

For a fleeting moment, he almost couldn't contain himself and wanted to rush up and slap Jia Zhangshi and Sha Zhu hard across the face.

That was utterly disgraceful and utterly shameful.

Before He Daqing could even vent his anger, Sha Zhu, seemingly oblivious, grinned and took Jia Zhangshi's hand, saying happily, "Father, why aren't you saying anything? I understand. You must be happy for me too, right? To be able to find such a beautiful wife is a great blessing."

"Dad, do you think I've hit the jackpot? To meet such a wonderful woman like Xiao Zhang in this life, I must have accumulated a lot of good karma in my past life. Our He family's ancestral graves must be filled with auspicious clouds now."

Hearing this, Xu Damao and the others nearby finally couldn't hold back and scoffed.

She burst out laughing, then quickly covered her mouth, her shoulders shaking uncontrollably.

Xu Damao secretly gave Sha Zhu a thumbs up.

"Tsk tsk, how dare Sha Zhu say such a thing? Auspicious clouds rising from the ancestral graves? I think the He family's ancestral graves aren't just smoking, they're about to explode with anger because of him."

"If I had descendants like that, I'd be furious eight hundred times over."

Yan Jiecheng immediately nodded and chimed in, "That's right, look at Shazhu's appearance, he's probably really confused."

Grandpa He's face turned ashen, yet he was still cheerfully praising his wife. Wasn't that just adding fuel to the fire?

Everyone shook their heads, finding the scene before them so absurd that they were speechless.

He Yushui's eyes widened in disbelief. She never imagined that her brother could be so muddle-headed, saying such things in front of their father.

This isn't stubbornness, it's just being mentally unstable.

"Father, did you see that? I told you my brother wasn't thinking straight. He... he actually wants to marry Jia Zhangshi. He's hopeless."

He Yushui burst into tears again as she spoke, tugging at He Daqing's sleeve and pouring out her grievances.

Upon hearing this, Sha Zhu's anger flared up instantly.

He glared fiercely at He Yushui, never expecting his younger sister to "slander" him like that in front of their father.

Yourself.

"Get out! Stop talking nonsense in front of Father! I don't have a sister like you!"

Sha Zhu was so angry that his voice changed tone. If He Daqing hadn't been there, he probably would have rushed over and attacked long ago.

Madam Jia rolled her eyes and immediately put on a sensible act, gently advising, "Silly Zhu, don't talk about your sister like that. She's young and doesn't understand."

"Once she gets married, she'll understand what it means to be a loving couple."

She then turned to He Daqing and said in a high-pitched voice, "Father-in-law, you've come all this way, you must be tired. Come in and rest, I'll make you some tea."

She looked every bit the part of the He family's daughter-in-law.

Sha Zhu was overjoyed and quickly said, "Dad, Yu Shui, did you see that? How considerate Xiao Zhang is! Yu Shui, you said those things to her just now, and she still spoke up for you. That's what a sister-in-law should do! If it were me, I would apologize to Xiao Zhang right now."

He spoke as if it were the most natural thing in the world, completely unaware that He Daqing's face had turned from pale to dark.

He Daqing trembled all over, and finally could not bear it any longer.

"You bastard!"

He roared and suddenly raised his hand, shoving Jia Zhangshi, who had come close to his face, so hard that she stumbled.

Jia Zhangshi was completely unprepared for He Daqing's sudden outburst, and she stumbled and was pushed to the ground.

"Get out! Get out of here right now!"

He Daqing's forehead veins bulged, and his spittle almost splattered onto the other woman's face. "Jia Zhangshi, don't you ever look at yourself in the mirror? After being a widow for so many years, you dare to set your sights on my son? Don't you have any shame?"

Before he finished speaking, he kicked the chair several more times and then swung it at the wooden chair next to him.

At this moment, He Daqing seemed to have completely abandoned his rationality, and every blow he struck was filled with ruthlessness as he attacked the curled-up figure.

Sha Zhu tried to step forward to stop him, but was shoved aside.

The anger that had been building up over the past few days finally erupted at this moment.

The onlookers in the courtyard were stunned at first, but then some couldn't help but clap and cheer.

These past few days, Sha Zhu and Jia Zhangshi's various behaviors have already attracted everyone's attention, but no one dares to speak up because of Sha Zhu's arrogance.

Now that He Daqing has suddenly appeared and given Jia Zhangshi a good beating, everyone feels that the anger they have been holding in has finally been released.

"I don't know what kind of evil magic that old woman used to bewitch Sha Zhu. Someone should have dealt with her a long time ago!"

Whispers rippled through the crowd.

"Isn't that right? It's a complete mess every day, it's unbearable to watch."

"At your age, still talking about marriage? Does she really think she's still a young woman who's never been married?"

"These days I can't even hold my head up when I go out, afraid that people will find out I live in the same courtyard as them—it's all that old woman's fault!"

The discussion grew louder, and many people became increasingly indignant, with some even clenching their fists, wishing they could rush up and add their own punches.

The pent-up frustration of the past few days intertwined with the exhilarating beating before him, transforming into a near-released sense of pleasure.

"Well done! We should have brought He Daqing back a long time ago!"

The deaf old lady was so moved by the sight that she almost stood up with her cane.

In her eyes, He Daqing, though not exactly a kind person, was the only one who could keep Sha Zhu in check right now.

She secretly hoped that this absurd farce might really come to an end.

She always treated Sha Zhu like her own grandson, hoping that he could marry a decent wife and live a stable life—and, of course, more importantly, that she could take care of him in his old age and see him off when he died.

But what is Jia Zhangshi? This old woman is wicked. If she really enters the He family, will he have a good life in the future? I'm afraid that if Shazhu is influenced by her words, his hopes for most of his life will be dashed.

Therefore, this marriage must be broken up.

Yi Zhonghai held the same thought.

At this moment, just like the deaf old lady, he couldn't hide his excitement and even cheered loudly:

"He Daqing! Hit him hard! That old hag must have used witchcraft, otherwise how could your son be bewitched by her?"

"If we don't act ruthlessly, your He family line may end!"

The constant urging only fueled the fire, and He Daqing became even more ruthless and brutal.

Qin Huairu stood quietly at the edge of the crowd, but her eyes shone with a burning light.

She seemed to see herself and Sha Zhu rekindling their relationship after Jia Zhangshi was defeated—those days were a hundred times better than being with Jia Dongxu.

Although she didn't shout it out like the others, she silently recited it in her heart:

Heavier, harder.

It would be best to prevent this old scourge from ever rising again.

"Beat her to death! That shameless old hag, what kind of mother does she think she is!"

A wild, excited roar exploded out.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the courtyard turned their gaze to Jia Dongxu in the corner.

His face was contorted, and the ferocity in his eyes was almost overflowing. An uninformed person might think that he had some kind of blood feud with Jia Zhangshi.

Jia Dongxu has indeed gone a bit crazy.

Jia Zhangshi's previous actions had already warped his character, and with the added blows from Sha Zhu, that distortion became even more profound.

Before, when he was paralyzed in this room, he could still find some condescending comfort in front of Qin Huairu, and at least feel that he was still someone who could control people.

But now?

Qin Huairu divorced Sha Zhu because of him.

Because of the foolish Zhang, he ended up becoming family with his own mother.

Right now, in this courtyard and this house, he's a complete eyesore and a useless person.

This pent-up frustration, this earth-shattering contrast, gnawed at him day and night, almost driving him to the brink of despair.

He needed to vent his anger and take revenge—even though Jia Zhangshi was being pinned to the ground and beaten, he thought she deserved it! Who told her to get entangled with Sha Zhu?

As the father is, so the son is.

Even the little stick clenched its fists, its face turning bright red.

"Well done! I refuse to acknowledge Stupid Zhu as my grandfather... Does he even deserve it?"

The child harbored a resentment and malice beyond his years, and his eyes revealed a chilling coldness.

"ah--!"

Just as they were getting a sense of satisfaction from watching, a furious roar suddenly ripped through the noise in the courtyard.

Everyone was stunned and turned to look at Sha Zhu.

When Jia Zhangshi was beaten, Sha Zhu froze completely.

He wanted to rush forward, but the person opposite him was He Daqing—his own father.

This struggle left him temporarily unable to move.

Seeing Jia Zhangshi writhing and tumbling on the ground in pain, Sha Zhu felt as if his heart was being cut by a dull knife, and he gasped for breath in pain.

That's his "heart and soul," his "precious treasure." Even if it's his father, he shouldn't treat it like this!

Absolutely not!

Sha Zhu finally snapped.

He lunged at He Daqing like a mad dog, growling.

He Daqing was a tough guy when he was young, but he staggered back a few steps after being bumped by his son so suddenly.

He never expected that this bastard son would actually fight him over an old hag! A surge of anger rushed to his head, and he felt like his lungs were about to explode.

"You little bastard! You think you're all grown up now and dare to hit me? I'll teach you a lesson today!"

He Daqing and Sha Zhu immediately started fighting.

The two were like two wild dogs with bloodshot eyes, rolling and tearing at each other on the ground, neither willing to let go.

Wherever the fists and feet struck, the tables, chairs, and benches set up in the yard were overturned with a crash, cups, plates, and bowls were smashed to pieces, and food was spilled all over the ground.

Sha Zhu was especially fierce, his jaw clenched and his eyes bloodshot.

He clenched his fists so tightly they cracked, and then pounded them heavily on He Daqing's body, causing He Daqing to scream in pain.

This sudden act of father and son killing each other stunned everyone in the courtyard.

No one could have predicted that Sha Zhu would actually be so cruel to his own father.

The son beat his father.

In most people's eyes, this is simply going against the natural order and defying the heavens!

"Rebellion! Rebellion! Stupid Zhu wants it! You guys go pull them apart, hurry up!"

The deaf old woman was so anxious that she jabbed the ground with her cane and shouted repeatedly at the top of her lungs.

Upon hearing her words, the neighbors looked at each other, their faces filled with embarrassment and fear.

Anyone with eyes could see how fiercely the father and son were fighting.

With their ordinary physiques, rushing in to break up the fight would be no different than offering themselves up to be beaten.

I'm afraid that before the fight even starts, I'll have to lie down first.

The deaf old woman anxiously looked at Yi Zhonghai, hoping that this old man could step in and dissuade her.

At this moment, Yi Zhonghai could only force a bitter smile at the old lady.

He had no intention of taking on a job that would only bring him trouble and a beating.

The fight was in full swing, and Sha Zhu was attacking He Daqing with even greater ferocity, no longer caring about their father-son relationship.

Perhaps the resentment that had been building up for years finally found an outlet—ever since He Daqing abandoned him and his sister, the fire in Sha Zhu's heart had never been extinguished.

Right now, he's delivering punches with deadly force, leaving no room for retreat.

"Ugh!"

He Daqing finally couldn't bear the pain and staggered to the ground.

Although he was quite a fighter in his younger days, time waits for no man, and his strength is not what it used to be.

Youth and strength always have an advantage, and He Daqing was naturally no match for Sha Zhu, who was in his prime.

Seeing his father fall to the ground, Sha Zhu showed no hesitation. Instead, he pounced on him, kicking and stomping as if he wanted to kill him.

When Jia Zhangshi, who was standing nearby, saw this, she immediately cheered loudly.

"Pillar! Well done! You avenged me... Ouch, that really hurt!"

"You're the one who knows how to protect me; I knew I hadn't misjudged you!"

She cried out in pain while desperately encouraging Sha Zhu.

With this encouragement, Sha Zhu seemed to have gained extra strength, and his roar became even louder.

"Bah! He Daqing, I'm giving you face by calling you 'father'! In all these years, have you ever cared whether we live or die? You don't even deserve to be called a father!"

"I was thinking that since you're here to celebrate today, I'd let bygones be bygones, and Xiao Zhang and I would take care of you in your old age... But what did you do? You had to pick this auspicious day to cause trouble! You're a real jerk!"

"I'll do back to you exactly how you hit Xiao Zhang!"

Sha Zhu roared like a crazed beast, increasing the force of his grip by three points.

He Daqing could only cover his head and dodge, but this humiliating beating only fueled his anger.

"You wretched child! Open your eyes and see who you're hitting! I'm your father!"

He cursed loudly, but these words did not stop Sha Zhu; instead, they provoked even more ferocious punches and kicks.

"Zhonghai! What are you standing there for... If this fight continues, someone will die!"

The deaf old lady was really anxious, and her feelings for Sha Zhu had also cooled down.
