Courtyard House: My System - Artificial Human

Liu Haizhong was unhappy that He Daqing was standing in front of him. When he saw Xu Damao, he immediately put his arm around Xu Daqing's shoulder and took several steps forward to overtake him.

"Da Mao, take a good look! Who hit you that day? Uncle Liu will stand up for you! You've bullied our courtyard house time and time again! Is there no justice in this world?"

"Master Liu is right!"

"that is!"

"That's right!"

……

A chorus of agreement rose from the crowd, one after another, demonstrating the united will of the people in the courtyard.

Last time, they were in the wrong, so the court couldn't intervene. This time, it sounds like the other party is clearly coming to cause trouble.

If we don't fight back, won't we be laughed at by our neighbors every time we go out?

Since moving into this courtyard, he has never had so many people support him. Liu Haizhong's face turned red with excitement as he listened to the constant discussions around him!

At the back of the crowd, Lin Weidong frowned as he looked around.

This is taking too long. Lao Liu, why don't you just go up and do it? What the hell are you doing, just standing there posing?

Accompanied by Liu Haizhong, Xu Damao and the five men from the front gate were exchanging glances, pondering who to target.

Suddenly, Jin Lu's wife's voice rang out from the crowd, reminding them.

"Da Mao, didn't you hear what that person said that day? Let them each say one sentence and see who hit you!"

It has to be a family member of a police officer! There's always a way.

The crowd was surprised and, while admiring him, urged him on.

"Yes, yes! Damao, listen to me."

……

"Come on, everyone, speak up! Let me hear your voices and see who's plotting against us!"

With his back against Liu Haizhong's sturdy body, which was about as fat as Uncle Niu's, Xu Damao felt incredibly safe and also received a lot of support from his neighbors.

The moment he opened his mouth, he was bossy and domineering.

This infuriated Uncle Niu; he's been angry countless times today!

But this courtyard house is really uncouth. It's one thing for teenagers to interrupt, but then there are women joining in the fun.

However, at this moment, he really didn't dare let Fan Jinyou speak; he didn't dare to gamble!

If this really is Fan Jinyou, then my whole trip has become a complete joke!

"Hey kid, don't you know what 'first come, first served' means? Even if your department has a reason, shouldn't you resolve our matter first?"

He Yuzhu was impatient and didn't want to see Xu Damao steal the spotlight.

"Stop talking nonsense about first come, first served! Looking for a beating? Xu Damao, you're all talk and no action, just go and fight them!"

This sound not only interrupted Xu Damao's pretentious act, but also gave Master Niu an opportunity.

He winked at Cai Quanwu and Qiangzi.

Actually, he came today intending to intimidate people with his power. If he could force He Daqing to apologize, there would be no need to resort to violence.

But the situation now leaves him no choice.

If you don't take action, you'll only be mocked by the courtyard houses in a sorry state.

Niu Ye's henchmen immediately stepped forward.

Cai Quanwu didn't really want to show off, but Qiangzi directly pointed at He Yuzhu and started spewing trash talk.

"Come on, kid, you're the loudest one out there. Come out here and let us weigh you in, let's see why you're so arrogant!"

"Why are you so arrogant? Because I can beat you to a pulp!"

He Yuzhu had been looking forward to this moment for a long time. He strode forward and punched Qiangzi in the chest.

He Yuzhu was still quite a distance from Qiangzi's height, but he acted without hesitation.

This punch caught Qiangzi off guard and made him stumble.

"Hey, you've got some skills, kid? Let's go again!" Qiangzi chuckled unexpectedly, then grabbed He Yuzhu and started playing around with him.

Lin Weidong was finally satisfied and nodded secretly.

That's it, just do it, what's with all the fuss? Today, I'll give He Yuzhu a Zhonghua cigarette.

The battle was about to break out, and Lin Weidong's arrangements were not yet complete.

At the alley entrance, a clone got off a tricycle and handed Yi Zhonghai a dime for the fare.

Yi Zhonghai accepted the towel with a forced smile, wiped his sweat with the towel hanging around his neck, and looked up to find the alley entrance strangely familiar.

We're home now.

"It's almost time to go back and have some dinner..."

Yi Zhonghai muttered to himself, then pushed off with his foot and rode into the yard.

As soon as he arrived at the gate, Yi Zhonghai was blocked by the lively scene at the entrance. This scene... seemed somewhat familiar.

This made him momentarily stunned.

Inside the battlefield, He Yuzhu and Qiangzi were locked in a fierce battle, tearing at each other relentlessly.

After taking another punch from He Yuzhu, Qiangzi stopped and rubbed his chest, which was a little sore.

Qiangzi was not convinced that a mere teenager could fight him to a standstill, and he made a sarcastic remark.

"You've got some strength, kid? But you're still a long way from being a man! That's not how you fight!"

Qiangzi, enraged, swung his arm again and slammed his fist, the size of a sandbag, at He Yuzhu.

He was clearly exaggerating, but He Yuzhu was, in the end, just a young boy. He was about the same size in strength, but he was at a disadvantage in terms of build and height.

No matter how ordinary Qiangzi was, he was still a laborer who made a living by carrying bags and pulling carts every day. He relied on this kind of work to make a living, and his endurance was far beyond what He Yuzhu could match.

Faced with Qiangzi's wild, unrestrained punches, which he did not defend despite the pain, He Yuzhu could not retaliate and could only block while hissing.

It fucking hurts!

Soon, his face was bruised and swollen again.

But He Yuzhu absolutely refused to lose face in front of Xu Damao, so he stubbornly refused to ask for help.

The two continued to wrestle, creating a lively scene.

Beside him, Cai Quanwu confronted He Daqing, who wanted to help his son take responsibility.

Cai Quanwu had little fighting experience and hesitated a bit before making his move, which allowed He Daqing to seize the opportunity and slap him hard several times.

However, He Daqing wasn't very happy. Looking at that face that was so similar to his own, He Daqing had the illusion that he was hitting himself.

It was very awkward overall.

Liu Haizhong continued his incessant sarcasm, raising his voice as much as possible to attract the support of the onlookers in the courtyard, all in an effort to stand out.

This greatly annoyed Master Niu, who was observing the battle.

He shoved his bangs and said provocatively.

"Hey man, stop just talking and let's see what you're really capable of!"

Liu Haizhong suddenly chuckled, grinning as he pointed at him, then at himself.

"Did I hear that right, buddy? What, you want to fight me? At your age... don't try to scam me later!"

"I'll scam your mother! When I was a nobody, you were still breastfeeding! If you're a man, come at me!"

Master Niu snorted coldly and immediately started cursing.

In his opinion, the most despicable person today was this guy. He had nothing to do with him but still wanted to get involved, and he talked so much nonsense, as if he were the boss of the courtyard!

Liu Haizhong still couldn't believe that this old man dared to fight him, so he restrained the force of his attack.

But the next moment, he was caught by Niu Ye, who pulled and pushed him, causing him to stagger and fall to the ground.

"That's it? I thought you were some big shot, all that nonsense!"

Old Niu looked disdainful, spat, and put his hands on his hips in a mocking manner, finally venting his anger.

Do you really think you're just a seasoned veteran? Taking care of you guys is a piece of cake.

Liu Haizhong suddenly realized that his opponent knew some martial arts and was better at fighting than him; he was at best only good at taking a beating.

He hurriedly called for Jia Dongxu to come and help.

"Dongxu, come quick! This old bastard is tough to deal with!"

"Come on! Let me see what makes you so arrogant. This has nothing to do with you, so why are you asking for a beating?"

Even when facing two against one, Niu Ye wasn't intimidated. Of course, it wouldn't have mattered anyway, since they only had five people, and the courtyard houses had already been divided up.

Xu Damao stood in front of Pian'erye without making a sound, pretending to be tough. He thought to himself that he couldn't beat others, but he could still manage to take on this skinny old man.

He happens to look just like Yan Bugui, which makes him inherently repulsive.

As the melee began, Xu Fugui was about to help his son when Liu Haizhong called out to him, reminding him to stop.

"Old Xu, you go deal with those three, we'll handle things here!"

Damn, why don't you go?

Cai Quanwu and his two companions are all young men. Why would they go and get beaten up?

Unfortunately, Xu Fugui couldn't hide now; under the watchful eyes of everyone, Liu Haizhong and his apprentice, as well as the He family father and son, all had opponents.

This is the time for the courtyard to put aside past grievances and unite against the outside world. If he escapes, he won't be able to live in the courtyard anymore.

You could be drowned in spittle!

But he also tried to be clever.

He pointed at Fan Jinyou, the thinnest of the three, and shouted deliberately.

"Damn it! You're the one who put that sack on my Da Mao, aren't you?"

Fan Jinyou felt a sudden tightness in his chest.

Damn! How did you know that? I didn't tell anyone!

"Bullshit! Who do you think I am to ask you to tell me who your son is? Don't frame me, I'm telling you!" He opened his mouth to retort, but deep down he was somewhat flustered at being caught red-handed, and his hands naturally became weak.

Xu Fugui launched a sneak attack, thinking he should strike first, but he didn't expect to succeed so easily, and was knocked to the ground by Fan Jinyou.

The opportunity was not to be missed, and Xu Fugui rode on without hesitation, slapping his hand like a fan.

These slaps left Fan Jinyou increasingly bewildered.

Did this old bastard really find out? Why did he act so ruthlessly?

Xu Fugui's eyes grew brighter with each blow, as if he were back to the day he put the sack on He Daqing.

He failed that day and even got beaten up, but today he actually hit someone!

Xu Fugui felt increasingly satisfied as he hit him, cursing as he did so.

"I told you to put a sack over your head, I told you to beat my son..."

He would slap someone for every curse he uttered, with a strong sense of rhythm.

Outside the courtyard, Yi Zhonghai observed for a long time and then asked the onlookers, quickly analyzing the situation.

His eyes lit up, and he thought to himself that he had finally come back today!

With the entire compound united against external threats, it's a good opportunity to build a good reputation.

Having not stretched his muscles for several days, Yi Zhonghai thought that everyone in the courtyard had probably forgotten about him. He glanced around and walked straight toward Xu Fugui, shouting at the same time!

"Don't be afraid, Lao Xu! I'm here to help you!"

Damn it, they're doing it again!?

When Master Niu turned around in the midst of his busy work and saw that it was Yi Zhonghai who had joined the battle, he immediately cursed loudly.

"Do you still uphold martial ethics in your courtyard houses?"

He Yuzhu had withstood Qiangzi's relentless attacks, and the two of them were panting heavily with their hands on their knees when they heard a song of birdsong and fragrant flowers.

"Screw you! Why didn't you show any sportsmanship when you beat me up last time?"

The onlookers in the courtyard found it both funny and satisfying, and some even cheered on Liu Haizhong and the others.

After this battle, let's see who still dares to say that all courtyard houses are cowards.

Men can be very united too, you know!

Unity is a good thing, and internal struggles do not affect external unity. Lin Weidong is fairly satisfied with the state of the birds today.

He watched the show silently, and saw Yi Zhonghai take advantage of the chaos, joining forces with Xu Fugui to beat Fan Jinyou to the ground.

Yi Zhonghai is also a man who doesn't hold back with his words, hitting and cursing at the same time, while also presenting concrete facts.

"You dared to scam Da Mao! I'll teach you to scam our kids! Don't you know children are the future?! You're utterly morally corrupt and inhuman..."

To be honest, his indignant state made him seem like a very upright person to those who didn't know the inside story.

In fact, Yi Zhonghai simply didn't want to take responsibility after the fight, so he embellished Xu Fugui's story.

Both of them love to scheme against others, and even when they get involved, they don't want to leave any evidence against them.

On the other hand, the bangs are exactly the opposite.

"Hey! Uncle Niu? Weren't you supposed to be a good fighter? Keep going! Why are you so quiet now? Now you know our courtyard house isn't to be messed with, right?"

With the help of his apprentice, he became exceptionally arrogant, a perfect villain.

"You...you..." Master Niu was panting heavily, sweat pouring down his forehead, caught between Liu Haizhong and his apprentice.

He does know a little martial arts, but he's getting old and his stamina isn't what it used to be.

What upset him even more was that the situation was extremely unfavorable today; losing a fight was a minor matter.

The worst part is that, thanks to the public outcry and accusations from Yi Zhonghai and his accomplices, Qianmen has been branded as a backstabber.

By this time, the neighbors from the next courtyard had all come out to watch the show, pointing at them and whispering amongst themselves.

Uncle Niu looked ashamed, afraid that the news would spread and ruin Qianmen's reputation.

Lin Weidong was also afraid that he might get so angry that he would cause a serious accident, so he stepped forward from behind the crowd.

"Alright, alright, stop it! Why can't we talk things out instead of making a scene?"

Seeing Lin Weidong step forward.

The people at the front gate immediately breathed a sigh of relief, their faces filled with gratitude.

The group from the courtyard slowly stopped, their expressions somewhat smug, but not everyone benefited.

He Yuzhu was very unwilling; he had only just recovered and hadn't even retaliated yet!

Seeing that Qiangzi was staring at Lin Weidong and ignoring him, he couldn't help but push him.

"Keep going! We're not done until one of us is lying down today! Trying to outsmart me? Grandma!"

Xu Damao looked at him from the crowd, his expression suddenly turning into a forced smile.

Good heavens, you dare to disobey Uncle Lin's orders? Your He family is truly a family of stubborn fools.

The next moment, Xu Damao saw Lin Weidong slap Sha Zhu on the neck, making him stagger and almost fall to the ground.

He couldn't help but touch the back of his neck, feeling both lingering fear and relief.

"Can't you just shut up for a second? Have you forgotten how long it took you to recover from your hand injury last time?"

Lin Weidong reminded him, and He Daqing hurriedly stepped forward, pulling He Yuzhu, whose neck was bright red, back.

He was also quite annoyed by his silly son's stubbornness regardless of the situation, especially since they had just reconciled with the Lin family!

"It's alright, Weidong, you tell me what you think, and I'll give him a good talking to when we get back!"

"No need for that."

Lin Weidong wasn't targeting He Yuzhu; it just so happened that this kid was making a fool of himself, and he couldn't miss the opportunity.

He waved his hand and turned to look at the crowd at the front gate.

"Master Niu, I've figured things out today. You said He Daqing beat up one of your men at the front gate, and I didn't know anything about that, so I won't say anything. But Xu Damao from our compound was indeed put in a sack, and it caused a huge uproar that day. We even held a meeting in the compound to testify against each other and rule out any wrongdoing! We're sure we didn't wrong the people at the front gate. You should go back and check and ask them about it."

Lin Weidong was clearly on the side of the courtyard house, which made Uncle Niu very uncomfortable; his face turned ashen.
