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

Sha Zhu and his gang had caused a lot of trouble before, but every time Hao Jianguo had them completely subdued.

This is the first time I've ever suffered such a loss.

"Hao Jianguo, don't be afraid of them! He Daqing said he wouldn't take the house back, how can he go back on his word? We can all testify for you!"

Yan Bugui was also furious and shouted.

He was really annoyed—he hadn't even fully gotten to know Hao Jianguo yet, and if he left now, when would he ever have another chance?

"We're in the right here, you really don't need to be afraid of them!"

Yan Bugui hurriedly tried to persuade him again, wishing he could keep the person there.

If he weren't short of space at home, he would have loved to have Hao Jianguo move in with him.

Lieutenant General Liu Hai walked slowly to Hao Jianguo with his hands behind his back, his tone earnest and profound: "Old Yan was right just now, Jianguo, you don't need to be afraid of them."

We are here to witness for you and to vouch for you. Even if it escalates to the police station or the neighborhood committee, I am certain that they will not let you leave.

People like Hao Jianguo are treasures; wherever he goes, someone will be happy to take him in.

If this courtyard were to actually drive him away, it would become a laughing stock among the other courtyards.

Naturally, most people felt indignant on Hao Jianguo's behalf, but due to the old lady's usual domineering nature, they only dared to grumble quietly in their hearts.

After all, even Hao Jianguo seems to be no match for the deaf old lady's group now. If she stands up for him now, and Hao Jianguo really leaves, there's no guarantee that the old lady won't turn on her.

Everyone was well aware of this, and therefore they were extremely cautious.

Xu Damao, who already disliked the old lady, stepped forward and spoke up for Hao Jianguo: "Jianguo, Shazhu and the others really acted very unfairly this time."

In my opinion, you should listen to Uncle Er and Uncle San; there's no need to be afraid of them at all.

With your abilities, dealing with those fools should be a piece of cake, right? You were never afraid of them before, so why are you suffering in silence now?

Xu Damao's words actually resonated with many people.

The people standing in the courtyard were puzzled.

Hao Jianguo simply smiled faintly and offered no further explanation.

Could it be that he really misses this room? It's ridiculous.

But explaining these principles to these people would be a waste of breath, so Hao Jianguo was too lazy to waste his words.

Seeing Hao Jianguo turn and leave, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

Many people sighed inwardly, "Sigh, it seems that the deaf old lady and her gang really have some tricks up their sleeves. Even Hao Jianguo can't do anything about them now."

Someone in the crowd said in a low voice.

"Does this deaf old woman really want to rule this courtyard with her own hands? It's outrageous, I really can't stand it."

"Hmph, what can they do if they're not convinced? Hao Jianguo was a thorn in their side, and now that thorn has finally been removed."

In my opinion, the deaf old woman and her gang will definitely continue to cause trouble in the courtyard.

The people in the courtyard are not stupid.

Everyone knows that the deaf old lady and her ilk have lost much of their prestige these days.

Once Hao Jianguo, who always opposed them, leaves, they can use this incident to re-establish their authority.

Many people even began to feel uneasy, fearing that they would be retaliated against by the deaf old woman and her group in the future—after all, they had been talking about them behind their backs quite a bit during this period.

For a moment, many people felt a pang of regret.

……

Inside the He family's house, however, the scene was quite different.

Sha Zhu and the others were overjoyed. Today's events were a great victory for them, and it was wonderful news.

"Such a joyous occasion deserves a proper celebration!"

Sha Zhu said with a beaming smile.

For Sha Zhu, today's joy even surpasses that of getting married.

He couldn't help but imagine Hao Jianguo's frustrated and restrained expression—just thinking about it made him feel extremely happy.

"I'll cook tonight, let's set a table and have a good time!"

As soon as Sha Zhu finished speaking, Yi Zhonghai and the others immediately echoed his words happily.

"That's right, today's event is truly rare."

"We've faced Hao Jianguo so many times, but this is the first time we've won so decisively."

Yi Zhonghai then spoke.

For a long time, he had been holding a grudge.

Ever since Hao Jianguo's life got better and better, Yi Zhonghai felt that the other party was repeatedly challenging his authority.

In the past, who dared to openly contradict him in this courtyard? He believed that once Hao Jianguo left, that old "one word was law" would be gone.

Those days will come back sooner or later.

The old lady sat in the chair, smiling broadly, her wrinkles deepening with laughter. "That was wonderful, a truly beautiful victory this time."

As you all saw, Hao Jianguo didn't even dare to argue; he could only silently admit it.

He Yushui immediately gave the deaf old lady a thumbs up, flattering her with a beaming smile, "You're so shrewd! No matter how capable Hao Jianguo is, can he escape your grasp?"

She leaned closer and lowered her voice, saying, "Don't be fooled by his calm demeanor just now; he's probably seething with anger inside!"

These words smoothed out the wrinkles on the old lady's face, and she smiled and patted He Yushui's shoulder: "You're so good with words, they're so pleasant to hear!"

Before the laughter subsided, the old woman's expression suddenly darkened, and a fierce light shone from her cloudy eyes.

He Yushui was startled by this sudden change in expression. After carefully recalling that she hadn't said anything wrong, she asked anxiously, "Grandma, is something bothering you?"

The deaf old woman snorted through her nose: "Things were done well, but they're still lacking something."

Hearing the commotion, Sha Zhu, who was busy in the kitchen, wiped his hands and came out: "What's not perfect? ​​Didn't we already kick Hao Jianguo out of the yard?"

"You guys are so easily swayed!"

The old woman slammed her cane heavily on the ground. "According to my original plan, not only should I drive Hao Jianguo away, but I should also dig up his ancestral graves so that Yu Li's unborn child won't survive!"

"This is too lenient on that heartless family!"

He Daqing, who was standing to the side, gasped and felt a chill run down his spine.

He glanced at his son, only to see Sha Zhu nodding in agreement, "He deserves to be ruined! The current outcome is certainly not enough to satisfy our hatred!"

Seeing the familiar resentment in his son's eyes, He Daqing's heart tightened—when did this child start speaking like the old lady? He opened his mouth to try to persuade him, but ultimately swallowed his words.

Given the current situation, following Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old woman can indeed bring benefits.

The door to Sha Zhu's house was wide open, and waves of laughter and chatter poured out of the house, filling the entire courtyard.

"Bang!" in the neighbor's bangs.

He slammed the window shut and spat, "Look at their arrogant attitude!"

Aunt Er twisted the hem of her apron with worry: "With Hao Jianguo gone, Yi Zhonghai will definitely regain his top position."

Old Liu, your position as the second uncle is probably...

"Shut up!"

Liu Haizhong angrily interrupted his wife.

He was well aware of this, but he didn't want his secret to be exposed.

Yan Bugui, who lives in the front yard, also had some doubts.

He paced back and forth in the cramped main room. His son, Yan Jiecheng, couldn't help but ask, "Dad, why did Hao Jianguo give up so easily today? This isn't like his usual self."

Yan Bugui suddenly stopped, a glint of shrewdness flashing behind his glasses: "In my opinion, there are only three possibilities: one, they've really fooled you; two, they have ulterior motives; as for the third..."

He deliberately dragged out his words, tapping his fingers lightly on the table.

Everyone in the compound knew that Hao Jianguo was an outstanding young man in the factory, a promising talent who had been promoted early and had a bright future ahead of him.

At this rate, it's only a matter of time before the factory allocates him housing—perhaps he'll already have a new place to live, which is why he doesn't care about this old house anymore.

Yan Bugui's calculations were so thorough that few people in the courtyard could match him when it came to scheming.

Liu Haizhong's scheming was no match for him; if Liu Haizhong were that shrewd, he would have been promoted long ago.

This analysis made Yan Jiecheng and his siblings' eyes light up, and they nodded repeatedly.

Yan Jiecheng stepped forward and flattered, "Father, you're right! You're a teacher after all; you see things clearly."

Liu Haizhong spends all his time thinking about being a big shot, but his actual abilities are not even half as good as yours.

If you ask me, if we had to choose again, it should be you.

As he spoke, he gave a thumbs up—"The family is now supported by Yan Bugui's salary. If we don't keep our father happy, how can we make a living?"

Yan Bugui listened with a beaming smile and patted his son on the shoulder: "It's good that you understand."

"Your father doesn't strive for those empty titles; otherwise, how would Liu Haizhong have the right to speak in the courtyard?"

Yan Jiecheng smiled obsequiously, but he knew perfectly well what was going on: it wasn't that his father didn't want to compete; it was just that there were no arrangements made by his superiors, and his ranking was always behind Liu Haizhong's, so he couldn't compete for it.

But he dared not say this aloud, for he would surely get beaten up if he did.

"Then, Father, which scenario do you think is most likely?"

Yan Jiecheng leaned forward again and asked.

Yan Bugui put his hands behind his back and adopted a stern posture: "With Hao Jianguo's temper, who can bully him? Why would he be afraid of those old folks? If he were afraid, he would have been already."

Aunt San chimed in, "That's right. I've never seen him give way to anyone before, and it's even less likely now."

"I think so."

Yan Bugui said leisurely, "It seems that two things have come together—he is planning to deal with those people, and he also has a new place to live, which is why he is sitting so calmly."

He sighed as he spoke, "Hao Jianguo has really made something of himself."

"If our family had gotten closer to him sooner, things would definitely be much better now."

He turned to Yan Jiecheng and said seriously, "You need to continue to maintain a good relationship with him so that you have a better chance of getting a job in the factory in the future."

In this world, working in a factory is the only way out.

Finally, he added, "Never be like that fool, Sha Zhu, who walks his own path to death."

Yan Jiecheng immediately straightened his back: "Father, don't worry, how could I be as stupid as Sha Zhu? I know what I'm doing."

Yan Jiecheng pounded his chest forcefully, looking very confident.

He had originally intended to curry favor with Hao Jianguo, but the other party didn't take the bait at all.

Otherwise, he would have already squeezed into the factory.

Yan Bugui glared at his son, sighing inwardly—how could there be such a huge difference in their conduct and interpersonal skills when they were all the same age? In his opinion, if his son had half the ability of Hao Jianguo, he would be laughing in his dreams.

"Just wait and see, things are about to get chaotic in the courtyard again."

Yan Bugui had a vague premonition of this.

In fact, he wasn't the only one who thought this way; many people in the courtyard shared the same idea, and some had even already moved their stools to watch the show—based on their understanding of Hao Jianguo, was this the kind of person who would suffer a loss?

Some people even speculated privately that Hao Jianguo might take action against those people tomorrow.

Want him to move out willingly? Not so easy!

But the next day, everyone was stunned to see Hao Jianguo readily pay the money and hand over the house.

"He... just left like that?"

Some people felt they couldn't wrap their heads around it; the scene before them was utterly absurd and completely different from what they had imagined.

Another person scratched his head and muttered, "Good heavens, is Hao Jianguo afraid of them? Has he just admitted defeat? This isn't like the person I used to know."

Even Xu Damao was so surprised that his eyes widened.

Last night he was looking forward to a good show, but it ended like this.

"Something's not right... Hao Jianguo actually backed down? Could it be that he really can't beat those guys?"

Xu Damao couldn't understand it at all.

Yan Jiecheng subconsciously looked at his father—last night his father had analyzed things so logically, but what was the result? He talked a lot, but the ending left everyone speechless.

Although Yan Jiecheng dared not say it outright, his gaze made Yan Bugui's face burn.

How could he not understand what his son was thinking? It's just that Hao Jianguo's actions left even him completely baffled.

"I don't believe it. Hao Jianguo must have some other tricks up his sleeve."

We'll just wait and see.

Yan Bugui said, forcing himself to stay calm.

Hao Jianguo paid no attention to the surrounding chatter.

That money wasn't originally his; it was Jia Zhangshi who got it from Yi Zhonghai.

He didn't feel much attachment to this place; instead, he was curious about the expressions on these people's faces when they found out that this bargain wasn't so easy to take advantage of.

Moving was a piece of cake for Hao Jianguo.

He had already stored away his valuables in his storage space, so he could go for a walk as easily as he did, simply grabbing a bag and that was it.

Sha Zhu was also somewhat...

Although they were smug last night, they didn't let their guard down. They felt that Hao Jianguo wouldn't leave willingly—after all, it was the place where he grew up, and he couldn't just leave like that; it would be a loss of face.
