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

The moment the door opened, a dark mass of figures appeared outside.

The residents of the courtyard craned their necks to look, initially just wanting to watch the excitement, but when they actually saw Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu walk out of the cellar one after the other, the surrounding area erupted in uproar.

"Good heavens, it's actually true!"

"Uncle Yi has charmed both young and old. He has Jia Zhangshi in the front and Qin Huairu in the back."

"Otherwise, how could he be such a big shot? At his age, he still managed to win Qin Huairu over."

Sigh, if I had that skill, I wouldn't be a bachelor anymore.

"No wonder Uncle Yi always helped the Jia family before; it turns out he had an inextricable relationship with this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law."

Liu Guangfu and Yan Jiecheng, along with a few others, always enjoyed watching the drama unfold.

Upon seeing Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu's disheveled appearance, they immediately began to mock them one after another.

Just hearing those words made Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu's faces burn, and they wished they could disappear into the ground on the spot.

"H-How could this happen...?"

The most confused one was Sha Zhu.

He stood there dumbfounded in the crowd, initially hearing "Xu Damao".

The shouts made them think Xu Damao was just messing around again.

He even wanted to grab Xu Damao and beat him up.

But now...

The scene before him was jarring to his eyes.

One was someone he respected, and the other was someone he secretly longed for; who would have thought that these two would end up together?

Sha Zhu felt his head buzzing, his fists clenched tightly, his eyes bloodshot, and a voice seemed to be urging him on—go up, that shameless old man Yi Zhonghai.

"Everyone, don't misunderstand. Qin Huairu and I are not what you think. We are innocent."

Yi Zhonghai hurriedly offered an explanation.

But looking around, he realized from the mocking and sarcastic looks in everyone's eyes that no one would believe him even if he said it.

Yi Zhonghai caught a glimpse of Xu Damao walking out of the house, still half asleep.

Xu Damao drank a lot of alcohol in the evening. Although he was not unconscious, he slept soundly.

He vaguely heard Hao Jianguo's angry shout, but couldn't make it out clearly. He only felt that it was lively outside, so he went out in a daze.

"Well, Xu Damao! How dare you slander me like this? You tell me clearly, when did I do anything shameful with Qin Huairu?"

Yi Zhonghai was both ashamed and angry. He rushed to Xu Damao and grabbed him by the collar before the latter could fully wake up.

Xu Damao was stunned by the tugging and struggled to break free.

"Yi Zhonghai, are you crazy? When did I ever say you were having an affair with Qin Huairu?"

The words had barely left his mouth when he realized what he was saying and blurted out, "Wait, you guys are really doing this?"

Yi Zhonghai trembled with anger—Xu Damao's behavior was clearly just an act in his eyes.

"Shut up! How could I do such a thing!"

His chest heaved violently, and his voice became distorted.

Qin Huairu also hurriedly defended herself from the side:

"Everyone has misunderstood! Even if you don't believe me, you should believe in Uncle Yi's character! He's a moral exemplar in our neighborhood. He only sent some cornmeal to help out my family because he saw we were having a hard time. It's not what you're thinking at all!"

No matter how much she shouted, no one believed her.

Liu Haizhong squeezed out of the crowd and immediately put on an air of superiority:

"Qin Huairu, who's going to believe your explanation? Yi Zhonghai, you call yourself Uncle Yi, the moral exemplar of the compound! Now you've tarnished those four words, you have no face to sit in that position anymore!"

He felt a surge of joy—he had finally waited for the day when he could bring Yi Zhonghai down.

Uncle Yan Bugui also adopted the demeanor of a people's teacher, scolding Yi Zhonghai as if he were reprimanding students in a classroom.

Seeing that Yi Zhonghai was about to defend himself, Hao Jianguo stepped forward.

"Uncle Yi, do you even believe yourselves? You say you're helping the Jia family, but you have to take Qin Huairu to the cellar in the dead of night to deliver cornmeal? Couldn't you have done it during the day? Don't you know how to avoid suspicion? Her husband isn't dead yet!"

These words were like knives stabbing at him, and Yi Zhonghai gritted his teeth in pain, but he had no way to refute them.

The whispers and pointing around him grew louder and louder, almost drowning him in spittle.

Yi Zhonghai really wanted to shout to everyone: I didn't do anything!

But nobody will believe it.

"If you ask me, you two probably stayed in the cellar for quite a while before you were discovered, right? You probably already did what you needed to do, so Jia Dongxu can still be a father for free from now on."

Hao Jianguo casually added another sentence.

Yi Zhonghai was trembling all over.

He knew that Hao Jianguo was taking this opportunity to retaliate—who told him to always speak up for the Jia family before?

Now there's no way to defend myself.

Jia Dongxu, who was listening nearby, felt dizzy and thought that a green light was surging on his forehead.

"You...you two..."

Before he could finish speaking, he felt a sweet taste in his throat and fainted from anger.

This sudden situation startled everyone, but they breathed a sigh of relief after finding out that it was just a fainting spell.

But the aunties and older women in the courtyard were even angrier, and they all pointed at Qin Huairu and Yi Zhonghai and started cursing.

Women's words are incredibly sharp; Qin Huairu turned pale, her legs went weak, and she collapsed to the ground.

She understood that this time she was completely unable to clear her name.

The elderly woman also collapsed to the ground.

Her gaze toward Yi Zhonghai was filled with an indescribable disappointment.

This husband, with whom she had spent many years, always considered himself a moral exemplar. Who would have thought that he would behave in such a way in private, and she was completely kept in the dark about it?

"Sigh, everyone saw it, right? You can see the whole picture from just one spot. Who knows what other outrageous things Master Yi has done behind the scenes?"

Hao Jianguo shook his head and sighed, his expression full of regret.

These words were like adding fuel to the fire, stirring up even greater waves.

"Everyone...everyone in the neighborhood, believe me! I really didn't do it! Hao Jianguo, what nonsense are you spouting! It's all...it's all Xu Damao's blatant lies, Qin Huairu and I are completely innocent!"

Yi Zhonghai tried to defend himself, but his words sounded weak and powerless.

Xu Damao was a petty and vindictive person, and he was furious when he heard this—in his mind, Yi Zhonghai was clearly trying to smear him.

"Bah! You, Yi Zhonghai, what does this have to do with me? Why are you pinning this on me? Don't you know whether you did it or not? Sneaking into a cellar with Qin Huairu in the dead of night, and you still dare to claim innocence? Bah! You're just a hypocritical old lecher!"

Xu Damao decided to go all out and refused to suffer this injustice for no reason.

"And you, Qin Huairu, don't glare at me! Did I say something wrong? Getting involved with that old bastard Yi Zhonghai, have you no shame? Do you think Jia Dongxu is some kind of idiot, trying to live up to your reputation?"

Upon hearing this, even Hao Jianguo couldn't help but cast a strange glance at Xu Damao.

It has to be said, this person is indeed very witty with words.

Hao Jianguo said no more and simply stood aside to observe.

Isn't it interesting to watch this group of people tearing each other apart?

Poor Jia Dongxu, just as he was being revived by having his philtrum pinched, he heard Xu Damao mocking him as "Wu Dalang" (a derogatory term for a short, weak man). He was immediately overcome with anger and his eyes rolled back as he fainted again.

"You're spouting nonsense! You idiot, Zhu, what are you still standing there for? This Xu Damao has slandered my innocence! I swear—if I really did anything improper with Uncle Yi in the cellar, may I be struck by lightning!"

Qin Huairu also became ruthless, daring to swear any kind of vicious oath.

However, she made this vow without any burden—she knew perfectly well that she and Yi Zhonghai had not yet consummated their relationship before they were caught.

"It's one thing if others don't believe me, but even you don't believe me? Xu Damao is humiliating me like this..."

Qin Huairu, caught up in her acting passion, burst into tears instantly.

Sha Zhu couldn't stand her looking like that.

He was initially skeptical, but upon seeing Qin Huairu swear an oath, he suddenly "realized the truth."

"You cunning Xu Damao, so it was you who was behind this!"

Despite his usual quick wit, Sha Zhu's mind goes completely blank when it comes to Qin Huairu.

With a furious shout, he rushed out without regard for anything else, raising his fist to give Xu Damao a good beating.

Xu Damao was completely dumbfounded.

He's been fighting with Sha Zhu since he was a kid, and he's never had the upper hand.

You could say he grew up being beaten up by Sha Zhu.

Moreover, at this moment, Sha Zhu was venting his anger on him, and Xu Damao was completely powerless to resist.

"Ouch! Help! Idiot Zhu is going to die!"

"I'm warning you, Sha Zhu, if you lay a hand on me again, I'll call the police!"

"I...I was wrong...Ouch! Silly Zhu, have mercy! Have mercy!"

Xu Damao fled in panic, desperately trying to escape through the courtyard, only to be chased relentlessly by Sha Zhu.

Looking at this chaotic scene, Hao Jianguo suddenly had an idea.

"Perhaps... this is a good opportunity to test out that new ability."

He quietly raised his hand, his fingertip subtly pointing in the direction of Sha Zhu.

In an instant, a surge of powerful energy and spirit erupted from Sha Zhu's body and flowed directly into Hao Jianguo's body.

A glint of light flashed in Hao Jianguo's eyes.

He truly hadn't expected that Sha Zhu's energy would be so vigorous; no wonder he was known as the "Courtyard War God."

The characters.

"You... Ouch!"

Sha Zhu, who had been chasing Xu Damao, suddenly felt his body go limp, as if all his strength had been drained away. He let out a cry of pain and collapsed to the ground, unable to muster any more strength.

He was momentarily stunned, completely bewildered—what was wrong with him? Could it be that he was feeling weak? But he hadn't done anything out of line lately.

Hao Jianguo, standing to the side, looked at Sha Zhu's dazed and lost appearance and felt a trace of contempt.

He was even more disgusted by Sha Zhu's dull and listless spirit, and even muttered to himself: If I take a few more breaths of this man's spirit, will I also become stupid?

Thinking of this, he raised his hand and pointed in the direction of Xu Damao.

When Sha Zhu suddenly collapsed, Xu Damao was initially taken aback.

But then, a powerful, fiery force surged from within him, his blood seemed to boil, and a strong impulse gripped him—

Beat up idiot Zhu!

He immediately turned around and kicked him hard: "You idiot Zhu, how dare you hit me first? I'll teach you a lesson!"

Sha Zhu screamed in pain as he was kicked.

Xu Damao was initially hesitant, but seeing that his opponent was completely powerless to fight back, he became bolder and his attacks became increasingly violent.

"Ouch! Xu Damao, you... don't hit there... stop!"

"Xu Damao, stop right now!"

In the blink of an eye, the one screaming was now Sha Zhu.

He was horrified and tried desperately to struggle, but his limbs were limp and he couldn't muster any strength.

Everyone in the courtyard was stunned.

I thought it would be Sha Zhu chasing after Xu Damao, but the situation suddenly reversed.

Liu Guangfu, Yan Jiecheng, and the others, who had often been beaten up by Sha Zhu, clapped their hands excitedly at this moment:

"Well done! Xu Damao, you finally showed some backbone today!"

"Let this idiot Zhu taste what it's like to get beaten up, and see if he'll still dare to bully others because of his strength!"

Yi Zhonghai hurriedly shouted to stop him.

Sha Zhu was the person he had planned to rely on in his old age; what would happen if he were to be damaged? At the same time, he was also wondering: Why did Sha Zhu seem like a different person today?

Hao Jianguo noticed his confusion and casually interjected, "If you ask me, he must be angry about what happened between you two, Uncle Yi."

Sha Zhu usually takes good care of the Jia family, so he probably already has feelings for Qin Huairu.

Seeing her beloved entangled with an old man, the blow... tsk tsk, she's completely lost her soul, how could she possibly have the strength to fight?

Yi Zhonghai was unwilling to believe this, but he knew what Sha Zhu was thinking about Qin Huairu, and given the strange situation before him, he couldn't seem to find any other explanation.

Upon hearing this, the onlookers immediately erupted in a clamor, creating a chaotic scene.

Hao Jianguo, however, crossed his arms and waited patiently—he knew that whenever it involved Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu, that person would never be absent.

Sure enough, just as the commotion reached its peak, an old man's angry shout came from behind the crowd:

"Enough! Xu Damao, are you trying to kill someone? You'll pay with your life!"

The deaf old lady has arrived.

These words were like a bucket of cold water, making Xu Damao shudder.

I was only focused on venting my anger, and I didn't think about the consequences.

He hurriedly stopped, forcing a show of force as he spat at Sha Zhu: "I'll spare you today for the old lady's sake! Don't mess with me again, or you'll regret it!"

Despite saying this, Xu Damao still kicked Sha Zhu a few more times before stopping.

Sha Zhu was so angry that he trembled all over, but at this moment his limbs were weak and he couldn't even find the strength to clench his fists.

"I know Zhonghai's character well; you have really wronged him."

The matter of helping the Jia family was something I asked him to do privately.

"Everyone, disperse, stop crowding around."
