Courtyard House: Drunk and barging into the Xu family's house, I woke up numb.

"But today I've really seen something new. Compared to you, I'm just a nobody."

"You came to their house early in the morning to break off the engagement. Breaking off the engagement is one thing, but you also wanted to swallow the things that their parents gave to their future daughter-in-law."

"That's not enough, now you're even eyeing their house."

"Sha Zhu, you're really shameless. How come I live in the same courtyard as you?"

"I'd be so ashamed to tell anyone about this!"

Seeing that Xu Damao, the "righteous man" beside him, spoke up for him, Cao Xu was certain that there was nothing wrong with his hearing.

According to the course of events, once He Yushui arrived, they could have talked things out, returned the items, and there would have been room for negotiation.

He never expected that He Yuzhu would have the nerve to bring up the house issue. It's true what they say: "If the water is too clear, there will be no fish; if a person is shameless, he will be invincible."

Cao Xu looked at He Yuzhu, who was about to fight Xu Damao, and laughed angrily.

"He Yuzhu, has your brain shut down?"

"Or is it that you just turned thirty and already have Alzheimer's disease, and your memory is failing?"

“My parents did say that back then, but don’t forget, the premise was that He Yushui would become my wife, Cao Xu’s wife.”

"Now that you've come to my house to break off the engagement, you still want a share of my house? Keep dreaming!"

He Yuzhu said calmly.

“Cao Xu, your parents made that promise in front of three deaf old ladies and three old men last year during the Spring Festival.”

“The Cao family is Yushui’s home. She can stay whenever she wants and for as long as she wants!”

That's true, but Cao Xu knew that his parents were saying that to their future daughter-in-law.

“You’re right, my parents did say that, and our Cao family acknowledges that promise.”

“Since our Cao family moved into this courtyard house in 1953, Yushui and I have grown up together since we were little. My parents treated her like their own daughter.”

"Although we can no longer be husband and wife, we can still be considered siblings and family."

“If she comes back to live here, I will welcome her with open arms. She can stay as long as she wants.”

"As for Bang Geng, what does he have to do with me?"

At this point, Cao Xu paused, glanced at He Yuzhu, and said softly.

"One who stays near vermilion gets stained red, and one who stays near ink gets stained black. You silly Zhu, you haven't learned anything else from Qin Huairu, but you've certainly picked up a lot of the Jia family's fine tradition of confusing right and wrong and making trouble."

“Your relationship with Qin Huairu has always been ambiguous, and now you’ve come here to ask Banggeng for a place to stay.”

"Could it be that Bang Geng is your son?"

P.S.: My new book is out! I'd appreciate it if you could give me some flowers and ratings to boost my confidence.

The first ten chapters of this book are a bit slow in terms of plot development and conflict, but the story will get back on track after those ten chapters. This story won't be cruel to the protagonist; it will definitely be enjoyable for everyone.

Chapter 6 He Yuzhu uses underhanded tactics, taking them down in one move! [Seeking flowers and ratings]

He Yuzhu liked Qin Huairu, or more accurately, he liked Qin Huairu when she had just married into the Jia family, when she was just eighteen years old.

At that time, He Yuzhu was still an innocent teenager in his adolescence, always having some fantasies about beautiful things.

In her youth, Qin Huairu was undoubtedly a beauty; from her blind date to her marriage, she caused quite a stir throughout the entire street.

I wonder how many people have openly or secretly said that Jia Dongxu got incredibly lucky to marry such a beautiful wife.

He Yuzhu even wondered if he could have married Qin Huairu if his father, He Daqing, hadn't run off with the widow Bai.

As time went by, He Yuzhu's feelings gradually faded. However, four years ago, Jia Dongxu had an accident, and he became closer to Qin Huairu again after that.

As time went by, He Yuzhu, who had been single for over twenty years, gradually developed some feelings for the charming and attractive Qin Huairu.

Out of love for the house, he treated Banggeng like his own son, providing him with the best food and drink.

Last week, when he was discussing things with Qin Huairu again, he finally mustered up the courage to reach out his hands, but before he could delve deeper, Cao Xu caught him red-handed.

Now, upon hearing Cao Xu bluntly say that he had an improper relationship with Qin Huairu and that Banggeng was his son, he was instantly enraged.

"Cao Xu, you dare to talk nonsense? You want a beating, don't you!"

Cao Xu's words resonated deeply with Xu Damao, who chimed in from the side.

“Cao Xu, you’re right. Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu often get into physical altercations.”

"Now they're even helping someone get a house. If you ask me, they're probably having an affair!"

He Yuzhu felt sympathy and pity for Qin Huairu, and also harbored some of the unrequited love he had felt in his youth.

Hearing Cao Xu and Xu Damao's words, He Yuzhu's anger was completely ignited.

However, he did not lose his mind. He knew that he could not beat up Cao Xu before announcing the engagement, otherwise it would cause trouble.

However, he had no scruples about Xu Damao; beating up Xu Damao was simply a daily occurrence for him.

He Yuzhu did whatever came to mind. He stepped forward, walked to Xu Damao's side, and raised his right leg to strike Xu Damao's groin.

"Ah...ah..."

With a scream, Cao Xu saw Xu Damao, his face contorted in pain, hunch over and squat down.

Cao Xu looked at He Yuzhu and thought to himself: This bastard is really cunning, shooting in that spot.

At that moment, Cao Xu couldn't help but have another thought: Could it be that Xu Damao couldn't have children because He Yuzhu beat him?

Seeing He Yuzhu's practiced movements, Cao Xu knew that this was probably not the first time Xu Damao had been treated this way.

With such a wicked approach, it's a miracle he didn't have a child, let alone ruin his manhood.

"Xu Damao, this is what happens when you talk nonsense."

He Yuzhu reached out and patted Xu Damao's cheek.

"You little brat, if you dare to spread this around, I'll fucking cripple you!"

After warning Xu Damao, the God of War of the Courtyard looked at Cao Xu behind him.

"Cao Xu, you'd better figure out what you should and shouldn't say."

"If you still want to live in this courtyard, you'd better honestly break off the engagement in front of everyone."

"See Xu Damao? This is the price he pays for gossiping."

He Yuzhu looked down at Xu Damao, who was still groaning in pain.

"And you, Xu Damao, go to bed early tonight and stop causing trouble."

"Do you think giving birth is something that can be accomplished by making a lot of noise?"

"Let me tell you, you're destined to never have a son!"

Having recovered somewhat, Xu Damao frowned and glared angrily at He Yuzhu.

"You idiot Zhu, you're a fucking bastard."

"I'm being intimate with my wife, I can do whatever I want, it's none of your business."

"What's wrong? Envious? If you're envious, then get yourself a wife."

"If all else fails, you can become a live-in son-in-law."

"You say I don't have a son? Well, you don't have one either."

"You not only don't have a son, you don't have a wife either. You're just an unwanted bachelor!"

After a brief pause, Xu Damao continued.

"No, you have a son."

"Isn't Qin Huairu's son, Banggeng, your adopted son?"

Xu Damao had barely finished speaking when he saw He Yuzhu's fist hurtling towards him.

Xu Damao was already on guard when he started cursing, and now that he saw the situation was not good, he immediately retreated and flashed behind Cao Xu.

"I rely on..."

Cao Xu saw Xu Damao's actions clearly; that bastard Xu Damao was using him as a human shield.

Cao Xu raised his right hand and struck He Yuzhu's arm, deflecting his punch. He then quickly extended his left foot to block He Yuzhu's path.

With a thud, He Yuzhu was thrown to the ground in the main room, landing with a resounding thud.

“He Yuzhu, this is my home. It’s not appropriate for you to repeatedly lay a hand on me in front of me.”

"Or are you just bored and want to go to the police station for a cup of tea?"

"Good, that was a good fall!"

Xu Damao, who had hidden to the side, felt extremely satisfied when he saw Cao Xu easily throw this plague god who usually bullied him to the ground with a simple gesture and kick.

He endured the pain and clapped his hands in delight.

"Cao Xu, we've lived in the same compound for so many years, I never knew you had such skills."

"You're a master of disguise!"
