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

As soon as he finished speaking, an uproar erupted around him.

Everyone stared wide-eyed at Hao Jianguo, almost thinking they had misheard.

Someone actually gave away all the money, leaving themselves with nothing?

"Good heavens, did I hear that right? Giving money and buying big gifts, where can you find such a good son-in-law?"

"I could search all over Beijing and still not find a more suitable son-in-law than Hao Jianguo."

Truly...it's the envy of everyone. I wonder if my family will ever have that kind of good fortune.

Immediately, sighs of emotion arose from all sides.

The people looked at Yu Li's parents with envy in their eyes.

If Yu Li and Hao Jianguo hadn't already registered their marriage and had a child, someone might have really tried to snatch such a rare son-in-law away—who doesn't know that finding such a son-in-law is like finding a treasure.

Upon hearing these words, Yu Li's parents' eyes welled up with tears.

The thousand yuan was substantial, but it couldn't compare to Hao Jianguo's words, "It's time for us to fulfill our filial duties."

It has weight.

These words are sincere and more precious than anything else.

At their age, money is no longer the most important thing; what's precious is their sentiment.

Yu's mother grasped Hao Jianguo's hand tightly, her voice trembling slightly: "Okay, okay... Jianguo, I don't know what to say."

Finally, Hao Jianguo helped the two elderly people back into the house.

However, everything he has done today will not simply vanish.

This incident is destined to become a legendary tale that will be passed down through the streets for generations to come.

Where some are happy, others are sad.

While Hao Jianguo's family was enjoying a harmonious time, another courtyard was shrouded in gloom.

The deaf old woman lay on the bed, her body trembling uncontrollably, repeatedly muttering that she hoped Sha Zhu and the others would return soon.

"Don't worry, ma'am. They brought two thousand yuan and the property deed this time, so they're sure to succeed. Don't be too anxious."

An older woman quickly stepped forward to comfort her, fearing that if the old lady continued to cause trouble, she might really lose her life.

But the old lady didn't listen at all. She just kept muttering incoherently with trembling lips, and no one knew what she was saying.

When Yi Zhonghai and the others returned to the house, the deaf old lady suddenly sat up in bed—her agility was such that if she didn't know she was still ill, Aunt Yi would have thought the old lady was healthier than herself.

"How did it go? Was it all taken care of?"

The deaf old woman stared anxiously at Yi Zhonghai and his group, fearing that Hao Jianguo would not give up.

She was so anxious that she kept stamping her feet. After all, if she couldn't get through tonight, she probably wouldn't make it to dawn.

Despite the deaf old woman's past domineering behavior, she was actually most afraid of death.

Some elderly people live long enough to take life and death lightly, but she is not that kind of person.

Yi Zhonghai paused for a moment before speaking, "He's given the money and accepted the deed, but when he'll be back... is uncertain."

The deaf old woman breathed a slight sigh of relief upon hearing this, but still asked with trepidation, "So, this matter is over? Old Hao... won't come looking for trouble again, will he?"

At this point, she couldn't help but shudder, goosebumps rising all over her body.

Yi Zhonghai lowered his head and pondered for a while, then nodded: "It should be settled."

Now that Hao Jianguo has accepted the deed, even if he returns to the courtyard, the house belongs to him.

His father... probably has no reason to cause trouble anymore.

The deaf old woman let out a long sigh of stale air and slumped back onto the edge of the bed.

Whether it was psychological or not, after hearing these words, she felt much more relaxed, and even her illness seemed to have lessened a bit.

"It's all better now, it's definitely better. I feel much more comfortable now."

The deaf old woman's voice became a little louder.

He Daqing and the others nodded in agreement.

On the way back, they were also discussing how the heavy sense of oppression they had felt suddenly dissipated after they handed over the deed and money to Hao Jianguo.

Even the wisp of black energy between his brows had disappeared—this most likely indicates that the calamity has passed.

However, the outcome will depend on whether the old lady can get through tonight.

Only by getting through tonight safely can we truly feel at ease.

Just as the atmosphere in the room eased a little, He Daqing suddenly spoke up: "If you ask me, the whole thing about Old Hao taking lives is just a baseless rumor."

Everyone was taken aback and looked at him in unison.

"I think Hao Jianguo is behind all this."

Didn't you all see it before? Even the Taoist priest Wang was kneeling in front of him, going crazy... That kid's methods are amazing.

There was no need for Xu Damao and the others to report what was happening in the courtyard; he had already figured it out perfectly well on his own.

He Daqing spoke with absolute certainty, and after finishing, he gave Sha Zhu a meaningful glance.

These words were like a bucket of cold water poured into a hot oil pan, making everyone's hearts race.

If Hao Jianguo really had such abilities, wouldn't dealing with them be as easy as crushing ants?

"So that's how it is..."

Yi Zhonghai suddenly realized and said, "No wonder he agreed so readily this time... he was waiting for us here."

Even if they could see through this now, they would be helpless—their tricks were no match for Hao Jianguo.

Sha Zhu clenched his fists tightly, his heart filled with resentment.

But he also knew that he was lucky to have survived this time.

From now on, we can only take it one step at a time.

"Sigh, if Hao Jianguo really has that kind of ability, we'd better avoid provoking him in the future."

Yi Zhonghai sighed, "Who knows if he might suddenly pull this stunt again?"

In his eyes, Hao Jianguo is now like an unfathomable mystery.

"I don't think so."

He Daqing, however, began to analyze, "For Hao Jianguo to use those methods, there must be conditions, right? You've made things difficult for him quite a bit before, why didn't he use them? I think as long as we don't force him out of this courtyard, he shouldn't be able to use them."

The more He Daqing talked, the more frustrated he felt, with a surge of anger rising in his chest.

This whole thing was a case of scheming against others only to get yourself caught in the crossfire.

He's only been back in this courtyard house for a few days, and he's already spent a considerable amount of money like water.

If things continue like this, I'm afraid we'll even lose our retirement savings here.

regret.

A deep sense of regret gnawed at He Daqing's heart.

He really shouldn't have gotten involved in this mess.

But life goes on.

The group chatted casually, but their eyes were all fixed on the time.

They are waiting for midnight to arrive.

Fortunately, after midnight, everyone saw that the deaf old lady was still alive and well, and they all breathed a sigh of relief, their faces showing a look of joy and relief.

At this point, everyone dispersed, knowing that they could finally get a good night's sleep.

The next day, Hao Jianguo took Yu Li back to the courtyard house.

In fact, many people in the hospital had noticed Yi Zhonghai and his group's actions these past few days, and those who were well-informed had already heard that Hao Jianguo was coming back.

This made many people in the courtyard happy—as long as Hao Jianguo was still a member of the family, they would still have the opportunity to get closer to him in the future.

Uncle Er, Uncle San, and others were waiting in the courtyard early in the morning.

Upon seeing Hao Jianguo and Yu Li enter, he immediately greeted them with a beaming smile.

Liu Haizhong, adopting a superior's demeanor, stepped forward, shook Hao Jianguo's hand vigorously, and said, "Congratulations, Comrade Hao Jianguo! From now on, this house is firmly yours. Let's see who dares to even think about it!"

"Teacher Hao, I hope you can give me a lot of guidance on fishing in the future. You'll be my teacher for life!"

Immediately, flattering words poured down on Hao Jianguo.

Everyone knew perfectly well that Hao Jianguo was no ordinary man; he easily dealt with those "troublemakers" in the courtyard.

It's been settled.

With such a capable person around, who would dare to cause trouble?

Yan Bugui even suggested that a small shrine be built for Hao Jianguo's father in a corner of the courtyard.

Hao Jianguo was both amused and exasperated, and glanced at Yan Bugui.

After this incident, his deceased father's "reputation" was firmly established in the minds of this group of people.

The.

From now on, during festivals and holidays, these people will probably have to burn paper money for their fathers with trepidation.

"Hey, Uncle San, it's only been a few days, how come you've started believing in this stuff?"

Hao Jianguo joked, "You're a scholar, how come you've gotten involved in this feudal superstition?"

Yan Bugui waved his hand dismissively: "Hey, I didn't believe it before, but I used to be a scientific person."

But after this experience, I truly believe it.

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

"If you ask me, your father is the most remarkable one."

I must offer my prayers, and I must offer them every year during festivals and holidays.

As soon as Yan Bugui finished speaking, Xu Damao and the others immediately stepped forward to echo him, each saying their own thing, and the conversation gradually turned to accusing the deaf old lady and her group.

"To be honest, the old lady and her group were really out of their minds, they even had designs on your father's grave."

In hindsight, it's fortunate they didn't actually take action, otherwise they would have been in serious trouble.

Xu Damao said without any attempt to hide his true feelings.

He never had a kind word for the deaf old woman.

"Exactly, that old lady should have been dealt with a long time ago."

Low grumbling came from the crowd.

Clearly, she has a considerable number of people who are bullied by her on a regular basis.

Now that Hao Jianguo has returned, everyone has someone to rely on, so they no longer need to fear the deaf old lady and her gang.

In Xu Damao's eyes, Hao Jianguo was the backbone. With him around, there was no need to worry about those people causing trouble.

Hao Jianguo simply smiled slightly and raised his hand to signal everyone to stop: "Alright, everyone disperse. Go do what you need to do. I need to rest for a while too."

After he finished speaking, he turned and went into the house. His eyes swept over the newly renovated room and he couldn't help but nod.

"It seems they really put in a lot of effort... Hmm, I should properly 'thank' Sha Zhu and the others."

Yu Li listened from the side and couldn't help but chuckle softly.

She suddenly realized that her husband could be quite mischievous at times.

If you actually go and thank Sha Zhu, you'll probably annoy him to no end.

Sha Zhu and his friends naturally saw the lively scene in the courtyard.

Seeing how attentive the neighbors were to Hao Jianguo, the men's expressions grew even more unpleasant.

He was especially furious when he heard those people saying things that belittled them in order to flatter Hao Jianguo.

Finally, Sha Zhu and the others simply turned around and went back into the house, hoping for some peace and quiet.

"You bastards, what a bunch of opportunists!"

Even after closing the door, Sha Zhu couldn't suppress his anger and cursed a few more times.

But if he were to actually go and cause trouble for Hao Jianguo now, he would inevitably feel apprehensive.

"Let's keep a low profile for now... for the time being."

Even if we really want to deal with Hao Jianguo, we have to wait for another opportunity.

Yi Zhonghai quickly tried to stop him, fearing that Sha Zhu might cause trouble again in a moment of impulsiveness.

Although Sha Zhu was filled with resentment, he still sighed and said, "Uncle Yi, don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Even so, he felt a deep sense of frustration and resentment welling up inside him.

In the days that followed, those troublemakers in the courtyard indeed quieted down.

Hao Jianguo was happy to be relieved, especially seeing their trembling appearances. Not only were they physically docile, but they also felt as if something was pressing down on their hearts, making them no longer dare to make any rash moves.

Since Hao Jianguo returned to the courtyard, these people dared not even glance at his house, let alone pass by his door, for fear that such a glance would bring some trouble.

As the days went by, Yu Li's belly gradually became more prominent, and before she knew it, her due date was approaching.

These past few days, Yu Li's parents have frequently come to the hospital to take care of their daughter.

Because of Hao Jianguo, the neighbors in the courtyard were exceptionally polite to Li's family, always greeting them with smiles and warm hospitality.

Yu Haitang was overjoyed all day long, and would talk to her sister's belly from time to time, as if she could really chat with the little baby inside.

"Sis, I'm so happy! I'm going to be an aunt!"

Yu Haitang kept talking about it happily.

In the past, seeing Hao Jianguo's happy occasion, even if the deaf old woman didn't dare to openly cause trouble, she would still point in the direction of his house and curse him a few times.

But now she dares not utter a sound.

Lately, those people have been living in constant fear, lest they accidentally get into trouble again.

Without their meddling, every household in the courtyard lived a peaceful and stable life.

That's why everyone looked at Hao Jianguo with genuine admiration.

Thanks to Hao Jianguo, everyone felt much more at ease.

"Our compound really can't do without Hao Jianguo."

Xu Damao gave a thumbs-up in praise.

Yan Jiecheng nodded in agreement: "That's right. When he wasn't around, those people were so arrogant. Now they're all behaving themselves."

"Now it's all good, Hao Jianguo should stay here forever."
