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

He grabbed Qin Huairu's hair and threw a piece of paper in front of her.

"Look carefully, this is my uncle's handwritten will."

It was written in black and white on the paper—after he left, this house belongs to me.

"You're occupying my house now, I'm already being lenient by not killing you, and you still dare to utter a sound?"

"roll!"

Jin Jianshe roared, making Qin Huairu tremble all over, and she dared not say another word.

Qin Huairu was no match for these people; she was just a woman who couldn't even kill a chicken.

The more she yelled, the more brutal the beating she received.

She tried to argue, but Jin Jianshe wouldn't listen to reason and simply had her dragged out the door.

"Do you have any regard for the law? Just because the suicide note says it's Old Man Jin's doesn't mean it is Old Man Jin's! Go to the neighborhood committee and confront them in public!"

"They attacked without saying a word; isn't anyone in this yard going to do anything about it?"

Qin Huairu sat on the ground and burst into tears.

Jin Jianshe merely sneered, completely disregarding her.

If he really angers her, he can just beat her up again and see if she still dares to nag.

Sha Zhu couldn't stand it anymore.

"This is just too much!"

He had always harbored feelings for Qin Huairu. Although the recent incident had deterred him from having any further thoughts, he still couldn't bear to see Qin Huairu suffer such injustice.

In fact, he wanted to step forward to stop them from the beginning, but Yi Zhonghai and the others forcibly held him back.

He Daqing was also intimidated – these people were local thugs, and if it really came down to a fight, they wouldn't stand a chance.

Sha Zhu was initially intimidated, so he didn't move when Qin Huairu was being beaten.

But seeing her crying so heartbreakingly, Sha Zhu couldn't hold back any longer.

Taking advantage of the moment when He Daqing and the others were not paying attention, he suddenly rushed out from the crowd.

"Hey! Don't you guys have any sense of law? Even if there's a suicide note, you can't just beat people up like that!"

Sha Zhu stepped forward, cursing.

Yi Zhonghai and his companions felt a sudden chill in their hearts—this was bad, things were about to escalate.

Not to mention Yi Zhonghai, even He Daqing, the father, didn't have the courage to stand up and stand shoulder to shoulder with his son.

Only He Yushui, upon seeing this scene, had a glint of excitement in her eyes.

In her opinion, the fact that Sha Zhu was willing to step forward meant that he still had feelings for Qin Huairu.

"That's great! I knew that Silly Brother still liked Sister Qin."

He Yushui thought to herself that what she feared most was that Sha Zhu would give up on Qin Huairu, that would be a real problem.

Now it seems that as long as we take advantage of our fathers' absence to persuade Sha Zhu properly, there is still hope for this matter.

Qin Huairu did not expect that Sha Zhu would stand up at this time.

She had already lost all affection for Sha Zhu, and even her eyes still held resentment when she saw him.

If Sha Zhu hadn't refused to marry her and instead married Jia Zhangshi, she wouldn't have ended up in this state.

Regardless, seeing Sha Zhu step forward, Qin Huairu felt a surge of excitement.

She remembered clearly how Sha Zhu single-handedly took on the entire hospital back then.

In her opinion, as long as Sha Zhu makes a move, even the most arrogant thugs will have to bow down.

She had even already planned it out—once Sha Zhu subdued them, she would make Jin Jianshe kneel on the ground and apologize to her.

"Who do you think you are, interrupting me?"

Jin Jianshe looked up and his brows furrowed.

To be honest, when Jin Jianshe saw Sha Zhu's angry expression, his heart skipped a beat.

But when he thought of the large group of brothers behind him, his fear immediately vanished.

"All of you, get him! Cripple this bastard!"

With his superior numbers, why would he be afraid of a simpleton like Zhu?

A group of thugs swarmed around him, trapping Sha Zhu in the middle.

Upon seeing this, Sha Zhu sneered.

Fighting? He's never been afraid of anyone in his life.

"Come on! I'm not afraid of you—ouch!"

Before he could finish speaking, a sudden change occurred.

Just moments ago, Sha Zhu was all brazen, but suddenly his foot slipped, and he tripped over a stone, falling forward and crashing headfirst into a shard of glass.

Blood gushed out immediately, a gash running from his cheekbone to his chin, leaving him looking utterly wretched.

The surroundings were deathly silent, and everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

What is this? He's already down before the fight even starts?

Jin Jianshe paused for a moment, then burst into laughter: "Ha! So you were just here to fool me? That show of force almost intimidated me! Turns out you're just a pretty face! Brothers, don't just stand there, give it a shot!"

The thugs, who had been itching for a fight, pounced on the order as soon as they heard it.

"ah--"

A scream immediately rang out.

While Sha Zhu was lying on the ground, a group of people rained down punches and kicks on him, targeting his vital points. In just a few blows, they beat him into a curled-up position on the ground, unable to move.

In the end, it was Uncle Yi and He Daqing who rushed up and, with a combination of pulling and shouting, managed to drive the thugs away.

He Daqing had also trained in martial arts in his early years, and he still possessed some strength when he fought.

Seeing his son's bruised and swollen face covered in blood, He Daqing sighed repeatedly.

These guys were ruthless. If Sha Zhu hadn't been so strong, he probably would have been crippled long ago.

"Serves you right for being so cocky! Now you know what pain is?"

He Daqing himself had also been hit a few times, and now his whole body was in pain, and his anger was rising.

Sha Zhu hung his head and didn't dare to say a word.

This time he was indeed reckless.

"I told you long ago, you shouldn't touch that woman; whoever does will be doomed! But you wouldn't believe me, and now look what's happened!"

He Daqing became increasingly angry as he spoke, and his voice grew louder.

Not only Shazhu heard these words, but everyone around them also heard them clearly.

Everyone's expression changed, and they exchanged glances—yes, could Qin Huairu really be a jinx to her husbands? Sha Zhu only had a slight crush on her, and he suffered this misfortune; if he were to actually marry her, wouldn't he lose his life?

Sha Zhu trembled upon hearing this, opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.

Seeing that his son seemed to have some regret, He Daqing softened his tone slightly, but still said with a cold face:

"This time it was just a scratch on the face, but what about next time? They might even slit your throat!"

Sha Zhu trembled in fright and quickly shook his head: "Dad, I...I understand, I will never do anything reckless again."

He Yushui, who was standing to the side, was extremely anxious.

She was secretly pleased that her brother still had feelings for Qin Huairu, but who knew things would turn out like this in the blink of an eye.

She didn't believe in any of that stuff—no husband-killing, no jinx.

There must be something fishy going on behind this, or perhaps... it's just a ridiculous coincidence.

If it weren't for the previous incident, He Yushui wouldn't have suspected anything—her honest and kind-hearted brother used to have frequent interactions with Qin Huairu, and there was clearly nothing unusual about it.

Unfortunately, Hao Jianguo wasn't around at the moment, otherwise she would have wondered if there was some hidden connection between him and this matter.

He Yushui sighed inwardly.

She naturally understood that there was no use in rushing things now; she had to wait until the current situation calmed down before she could find an opportunity to slowly persuade her stubborn brother.

Regardless, it's an undeniable fact that my brother has Qin Huairu in his heart.

Without Sha Zhu's help, Qin Huairu was even less able to resist the crowd's expulsion, and in the blink of an eye, she was outside the courtyard.

She looked disheveled, her hair was a mess, and her face was covered in mud and blood, but she still refused to give up. She plopped down on the threshold of the courtyard house and stubbornly refused to get up.

"I'm not leaving! What right do you have to kick me out? I married Old Master Jin, and even if I lose my house, I'm still a city dweller, a member of this community. You have no right to drive me away!"

She suddenly burst into tears, crying out, "Grandpa Jin, open your eyes and see! As soon as you left, these people treated me like this. Is there no justice in this world?!"

She started throwing a tantrum, crying and shouting.

The people in the courtyard had long been fed up with her, and now that they had the chance, they were not about to let it go.

The second and third uncles were the first to step forward and drive them away. Several young men also rushed out from the crowd and pushed and kicked Qin Huairu away.

"Get lost!"

"Don't stick to our yard like a leech. Let me tell you, you're not welcome here!"

Yan Jiecheng and his group pointed at her nose and shouted insults at her.

In their eyes, Qin Huairu was not even as good as a beggar on the street, having completely lost all face and dignity.

"Qin Huairu, have some self-respect and get out of here!"

At this point, Liu Haizhong disregarded all taboos, "You're a nuisance who only bothers others; staying in the yard will only bring trouble to everyone!"

He genuinely believed those mystical explanations—otherwise, if the previous incident with Sha Zhu could only be described as a "coincidence"...

The two-character explanation is far too far-fetched.

Even after all that had been said, Qin Huairu still stubbornly refused to budge.

"I was confused before, I admit my mistake, I beg you, please don't send me away..."

She pleaded in a humble voice, all traces of her former arrogance gone.

The crowd merely sneered.

We've all seen her trick of begging for forgiveness one minute and turning on us the next; who would still believe her now?

"No discussion, get out of here! If you stay any longer, we're calling the police!"

The old man waved his hand impatiently, as if shooing away mosquitoes and flies.

Upon hearing "report to the police,"

Upon hearing those three words, Qin Huairu's face paled, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.

The small, dark room in the detention center had long been a shadow in her heart.

But what if we really get kicked out...?

She gritted her teeth and struggled to squeeze out her last words: "Second Uncle, Third Uncle... I beg you, please let me stay for the sake of my two young children... I have to fulfill my duty as a mother..."

She then brought out Xiaodang and Huaihua.

A burst of sneers immediately erupted from all around.

Xu Damao spat, his face full of sarcasm: "Qin Huairu, have you no shame? Now you remember you have two daughters? If you're so reluctant to part with them, why didn't you take them with you when you married Old Man Jin?"

Liu Guangfu chimed in, "Even if Old Man Jin didn't agree at first, what about yesterday? Did you even go to see the children once after you came back? No, right? Besides throwing a tantrum and cursing, you've completely forgotten about them! Now that you're out of options, you're using the children as an excuse—keep pretending, let's see who believes you!"

Despite the chaotic accusations and insults around her, Qin Huairu seemed oblivious, her expression remaining unchanged.

Her eyes flickered slightly, and she strode quickly toward Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady.

At this point, saving face is no longer of any importance to her.

Qin Huairu didn't care whether the other party was willing to pay attention to her or not, and stepped forward to hug the deaf old lady's leg.

"Grandma, please have mercy and let me stay."

"Uncle Yi, please, for the sake of the goodwill I've shown you in the past, put in a good word for me and everyone else, please don't send me away, okay?"

She immediately burst into tears, her voice choked with sobs.

The deaf old woman felt nothing but disgust at Qin Huairu's appearance. "Don't bother me! Let whoever wants to get involved in your mess meddle; I, this old woman, can't make that decision."

She spoke crisply and decisively, leaving no room for negotiation.

She's already dealing with her own mess, so how could she possibly care about Qin Huairu's situation?

Qin Huairu knew the old lady's temperament well. Seeing that she had said so much, she understood that the other party was determined not to help.

She hurriedly turned her gaze to Yi Zhonghai, placing all her remaining hopes on this old man.

In her mind, Yi Zhonghai always valued appearances, and even if he was unwilling, he would probably agree because of his hypocritical facade.

Little did she know that Yi Zhonghai now avoids her like the plague.

In Yi Zhonghai's view, Qin Huairu was simply a source of bad luck; anyone who got involved with her was doomed.

Sha Zhu only tried to help her, and he ended up like that; if he gets involved with this woman again, wouldn't he also suffer?

"No, don't look for me. I can't do anything about it. I don't have any say in this courtyard anymore."

As he spoke, he retreated repeatedly, quickly distancing himself from Qin Huairu.

Upon hearing this reply, the last trace of color drained from Qin Huairu's face.

Her body went limp, and she collapsed to the ground, knowing in her heart that this was the end for her, and she would probably be kicked out of here today.

"Wait, I'll take her in."

Qin Huairu, come here.

Just then, a voice suddenly rang out.

But when everyone realized who was speaking, the entire room was stunned and speechless.

No one expected that it would be Jia Zhangshi who would speak up and say that Qin Huairu should stay.

In everyone's eyes, the person in this compound who most wanted Qin Huairu to leave was probably her.

What is she up to now?

The door to the Jia family's house creaked open.

With a bang, Jia Zhangshi frowned and waved to Qin Huairu.

Even Qin Huairu herself was stunned by what she saw.
