Courtyard House: Purchasing Agents' Comeback from the Great Famine

Peking Union Medical College Hospital.

Sha Zhu stared blankly at the ceiling, his eyes filled with loneliness and despair.

He has been hospitalized for ten days, and today is his discharge day, but he is not happy at all.

Even after he is discharged from the hospital, he will need to rest at home for one or two months before his injuries are fully healed.

After losing a kidney, he clearly felt his body become very weak, and his once thick and powerful arms were now weak and powerless.

Looking back, he used to be the war god of the entire courtyard, how did he suddenly become like this?

He lost his manhood, becoming childless, and now he's even missing a kidney. His whole body is limp, and he estimates that even if he were to prepare a feast for someone else in the future, it would be very difficult.

Without a job and unable to cook for others, he has no way to use his culinary skills and is unable to make a living. He is now very confused about his future.

Just as he was thinking about what to do next, He Yushui pushed open the door to the ward, holding a discharge certificate in her hand.

He Yushui looked at Sha Zhu expressionlessly and said, "He Yuzhu, I've already prepared the discharge certificate. Let's go."

"Thank you, rain."

Sha Zhu nodded, looking at He Yushui's frail body with a mixture of guilt and complex emotions.

Ever since Qin Huairu married into their courtyard, he didn't know if he was blinded by greed or bewitched, but every time he saw Qin Huairu, he would try to please her, which caused Yushui to suffer a lot of hardship, grievances, and hunger.

Because of Qin Huairu, he not only beat Yushui once, but also often let Yushui go hungry, and argued with Yushui many times. Now that he thinks about it, he should have done so wrong.

Now that he's in trouble, neither Qin Huairu nor anyone from the hospital has come to see him. But even though Yu Shui has severed ties with him, she still took such a long leave to take care of him after his accident.

This also made him realize a truth: no matter what, a younger sister is still a younger sister.

It's a pity that Yu Shui's heart has been broken by him, and the siblings can never go back to what they were before.

He Yushui didn't respond to Sha Zhu's thanks, and started packing her things on her own, finishing quickly.

She came to the bedside and said to He Yuzhu, "Let's go, I'll help you."

Sha Zhu looked at He Yushui with deep emotion and said, "Yushui, I'm sorry. I was the one who wronged you before. Don't worry, once I'm healed, I will definitely change and take good care of you."

He Yushui scoffed, "He Yuzhu, I don't need you to take care of me anymore. You can take care of yourself from now on, and I'll be satisfied. Alright, stop talking nonsense and go."

Sha Zhu nodded, used his hands to prop himself up, slowly got off the hospital bed, and supported He Yushui's thin shoulders. The two of them slowly walked out of the ward.

The two walked very slowly. He Yushui was less than 1.6 meters tall and weighed only about 80 kilograms, but she had to support a strong man who was 1.76 meters tall and weighed about 180 kilograms. It was incredibly difficult for her.

Fortunately, Sha Zhu wasn't completely unable to walk. He just didn't dare to walk too fast, worried that his stitches would come undone. Otherwise, how could He Yushui, with her small arms and legs, possibly support a strong man like Sha Zhu?

After walking slowly for about ten minutes, the two finally left the Union Hospital. By then, He Yushui was covered in sweat.

"He Yuzhu, wait here for a moment, I'll go and ask Boss Ban to take you back."

"become."

Just after He Yushui left, a thin young man poked his head out from the alley diagonally opposite Xiehe Hospital. When he saw He Yuzhu's clear face, he quickly left the scene.

Sha Zhu waited for about five minutes at the entrance of Xiehe Hospital before He Yushui called over a man in his forties.

"He Yuzhu, lie down quickly."

Then He Yushui said to the old man, "Grandpa, this man is injured. Could you please help me support him and hold him steady?"

"Okay."

The old man grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth, and together with He Yushui, helped Sha Zhu onto the cart and laid him down.

Sha Zhu lay on the cart, and the old man pulled the cart, heading towards Nanluoguxiang.

He Yushui did not help push the cart; she was carrying a lot of Sha Zhu's daily necessities.

The three of them walked slowly like this, with the old man pulling the cart very steadily, and he didn't seem to be struggling at all.

Sha Zhu lay flat on the cart, his eyes vacant, seemingly lost in thought.

After walking for about ten minutes, the three of them arrived at a secluded alley. A thin young man wearing a gray hat walked over from the opposite direction.

The skinny young man had large pockets on his clothes. He had his hands in his pockets, his head down, and he was shaking his head, looking like a street hustler.

Just as the skinny young man was less than two meters away from the cart, he suddenly pulled out a Mauser pistol from his pocket and aimed it at Sha Zhu, who was lying on the cart.

"Be careful, you silly brother..."

When He Yushui saw that someone was holding a gun and pointing it at He Yuzhu, she was terrified and cried out in alarm.

Sha Zhu lay on the cart, unaware that someone was aiming a gun at him. But when he heard He Yushui's exclamation, he instinctively looked to his left. When he saw that someone had already aimed a gun at him, his pupils contracted and he felt a chill run down his spine. It was too late to dodge.

"what!"

With a shout, the old man knew that it was too late to warn the injured man on the cart at this critical moment. He suddenly used all his strength to lift the cart off the cart, and in doing so, he also lifted Sha Zhu off the cart.

"Bang."

Immediately afterwards, a gunshot rang out.

The moment the gunshot rang out, He Yushui didn't dare to look at Shazhu. She was afraid she couldn't bear the bloody scene; her mind went completely blank.

Sha Zhu thought he was going to die. At such close range, the bandit could hit him even with his eyes closed, and he wouldn't have time to dodge.

Just when he thought he was going to die, he didn't feel any bullets in his body, nor did he feel any pain. He felt himself being suddenly thrown by a cart, and then he was slammed to the ground. He grimaced in pain, and the wound on his kidney burst open, bleeding profusely.

After falling to the ground, Sha Zhu didn't check his wounds or scream in terror. Instead, he remained remarkably calm. He knew that this man's purpose was so clear: he wanted to kill him. Since the first shot missed, the man would definitely fire a second one.

The skinny young man never expected that he couldn't hit He Yuzhu at such close range, and that the boss had ruined his plans.

Looking at He Yuzhu lying on the ground, he aimed again and pulled the trigger with lightning speed.

"Bang."

This time, Sha Zhu had already seen that the bandits were aiming at him. Just as the bandits aimed at him, he rolled quickly to the side without thinking.
