Courtyard House: He Daqing Forces Qin Huairu into Marrying at the Beginning

"I'll make you a small bed; you can sleep here tonight."

Yi Zhonghai thought he would only take them in for one night and send them back tomorrow.

He can also gain a good reputation for being kind and generous.

However, Liu Guangfu seemed to misunderstand what he was hearing.

He mustered his courage and shouted loudly.

"Uncle Yi, do you need another son?"

Chapter 76 Desiring to Recruit Liu Guangfu

A cool breeze was blowing on the autumn night.

The sudden words startled Yi Zhonghai, leaving him deeply moved and unable to calm down for a long time.

"Guangfu, what do you mean by that?"

Yi Zhonghai stared wide-eyed, then leaned down and asked earnestly.

Just as I was thinking about adopting his son, Liu Guangfu took the initiative to approach me.

It's like someone handing you a pillow when you're dozing off—it's so surreal.

"My dad doesn't like me. He beats me, scolds me, and complains about me all the time."

Grandpa Yi, you don't have any children at home.

"How about I become your son?"

Liu Guangfu squinted, looking pitiful.

Liu Haizhong usually likes to hit children and doesn't take this behavior to heart.

Little did they know how terrible the harm excessive beatings could cause to the child.

Living under the shadow of beatings, Liu Guangfu's feelings for his father had long been exhausted.

There is only endless fear.

If he could have good food and a good life, Liu Guangfu would never care about betraying his father.

"Guangfu, you are still young and don't understand things."

Your dad hit you, but it was for your own good.

How could you say such a thing about your dad?

That's not filial piety.

Yi Zhonghai gave a stern reprimand, but his heart was filled with unease.

The neighbors in the courtyard have all seen what Liu Haizhong has done.

Last Spring Festival, they beat the child so badly that he ended up in the hospital.

She hits her child almost every day, sometimes several times a day.

This caused Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu to run around the yard in a frenzy.

This also caused quite a few troubles.

With Liu Haizhong's methods being so ruthless, it would be strange if the two children were grateful.

Yi Zhonghai asked himself, if he were to become a father one day, he would never be like Liu Haizhong.

“My dad beats my second brother and me every day.”

Sometimes, even when the older brother came home, he would get beaten along with him.

We were almost beaten to death.

People outside the courtyard say that my second brother and I aren't Dad's biological children; we were adopted from outside.

Recalling the beating, Liu Guangfu felt extremely wronged, and tears streamed down his face.

She cried as she lifted her clothes, revealing the scars on her body.

It's as if it's accusing the bangs of atrocities.

"Uncle Yi, please have mercy and save me."

Through the bright moonlight, Yi Zhonghai could see all the crisscrossing wounds on Liu Guangfu's body.

New and old wounds, calluses and uncalluses, covered Liu Guangfu's thin body in dense, intricate scars.

He recounted the inhumane treatment he had suffered.

Yi Zhonghai gasped, his brows furrowed, and his eyes were filled with horror.

He knew Liu Haizhong liked to hit children, but he didn't expect him to be so ruthless.

No wonder she managed to send her second son to the hospital during the Spring Festival.

This method is truly ruthless and merciless.

To achieve this level of dedication is truly unique within the entire department.

"Hi."

Yi Zhonghai sighed and turned his head away, no longer looking at Liu Guangfu's injuries.

"You are still your father's son."

I cannot easily agree to this.

"Stay here for the night, we'll talk about it later."

Yi Zhonghai turned around and found some stools and planks to make a small bed for Liu Guangfu.

Let the child go to sleep for now.

After finishing everything, Yi Zhonghai returned to his bed and let out a long sigh of relief, his mind a jumble of thoughts, unable to find peace.

"Old Yi, what do you think of Guangfu?"

Beside her, Yao Min, who had her eyes closed, suddenly spoke up and asked a question.

Yao Min remained conscious the entire time Yi Zhonghai got up.

She heard everything clearly.

She was not opposed to recognizing Liu Guangfu as her son.

We're all kids from the same compound, so we know each other inside and out.

Although Liu Guangfu was a bit mischievous, he had never done anything bad.

It's more reliable than bringing back strangers from outside.

"It sounds good, but I'm afraid Old Liu, with his fiery temper, won't agree easily."

Without Liu Haizhong's approval, it won't be easy to take in Liu Guangfu.

"Old Liu has to compensate He Daqing one million this time."

In addition to their hospitalization fees, there were also various expenses incurred over the past year.

They're definitely not well-off.

"If we were willing to pay some money, it might not be impossible."

Liu Haizhong earns a decent salary and lives frugally. He can support his family and definitely save a substantial amount of money.

Savings can only be accumulated to a limited extent.

In just over a year, the Liu family has been plagued by a series of troubles, and no amount of money can keep up with the expenses.

"We can't rush this. Let's sound out Lao Liu first."

With his wife's consent, Yi Zhonghai became even more determined in his mind.

Over the years, as the couple has grown older, the criticism and impact they have faced have increased.

Yi Zhonghai is going crazy missing his son.

Now that he has the opportunity, he will not let it slip by.

……

The following day at noon, Yao Min went to the hospital under the pretext of offering condolences to investigate the situation.

Yao Min not only wanted to test the waters this time, but also wanted to take the opportunity to have a check-up.

Your own child is always the best.

Yao Min decided to make one last attempt to put an end to her lingering feelings.

If infertility can be cured, then there will be no need to plan for someone else's child.

Upon entering the ward, one sees Wang Cuihua, her eyes dim, sitting by the bed feeding her husband and son.

Liu Haizhong lay on the hospital bed with lifeless eyes, staring blankly at the ceiling, his hands clasped in front of him, almost motionless except for his eyes and mouth.

Last night's blow was too much for him.

When He Daqing knocked him to the ground, Liu Haizhong finally realized the vast difference in their abilities.

The two are simply not on the same level.

Liu Haizhong will never be able to surpass He Daqing in his lifetime.

They will be trampled underfoot for the rest of their lives.

Thinking about all this, Liu Haizhong felt utterly hopeless and lost all fighting spirit.

On the other side, Liu Guangtian's broken leg was in a cast and suspended in a sling.

The intense pain kept him awake all night and caused him to lose his appetite.

He's been looking listless ever since he woke up.
