Courtyard House: Purchasing Agents' Comeback from the Great Famine

Two more hours passed.

He Yushui was starving and her eyes were almost closed, but she still sat by the hospital bed, staring at He Yuzhu.

It's been a day and a half since she slept the night before last, and she hasn't closed her eyes once. The last thing she ate was two steamed buns yesterday afternoon, which is about 24 hours ago.

Looking at He Yuzhu, who was still unconscious on the bed, she was about to collapse. She decided to go outside and buy two steamed buns to eat, otherwise she would collapse even if He Yuzhu woke up.

Just as she was about to get up and open the door, He Yuzhu slowly opened his eyes and said weakly in a very low voice, "Water...water!"

The intensive care unit was very quiet. Even though He Yuzhu's voice was very soft, He Yushui still heard it. She quickly turned around and saw that He Yuzhu had opened his eyes. She immediately opened the door and excitedly shouted outside:

"Doctor, doctor, my brother is awake! Please come quickly!"

Before long, the doctor rushed into the ward. Before the doctor could ask any questions, He Yushui said, "Doctor, please take a look at my brother. He's awake. He just asked me for water."

The doctor nodded and quickly came to the bedside. When he saw that He Yuzhu had indeed woken up, he quickly took He Yuzhu's pulse and then used instruments to conduct various tests on He Yuzhu.

After a while, the doctor said to He Yushui, "Young lady, He Yuzhu has regained consciousness. Pour him some water to drink, and then go to the kitchen to cook some porridge. He is very weak and urgently needs to replenish his nutrition."

Upon hearing this, He Yushui nodded repeatedly: "Okay, thank you, doctor."

He Yushui quickly poured a bowl of water and slowly fed it to He Yuzhu.

When Shazhu saw how much Yushui cared for him and took such good care of him, he suddenly felt that he had wronged Yushui too much in the past, and tears welled up in his eyes without him realizing it.

When He Yushui saw He Yuzhu crying, she frowned and said, "He Yuzhu, why are you crying? Rest for a while, I'll go and cook some porridge for you."

Sha Zhu's lips moved, but no sound came out. He quickly blinked at He Yushui. He wanted to speak, but he was too weak. He had only managed to say a few words when he woke up, which had exhausted all his strength. Now he couldn't speak at all.

He Yushui didn't care what He Yuzhu meant by winking at her. She helped He Yuzhu lie down on the bed, took the rice, and went to the hospital kitchen.

He Yushui cooks porridge very quickly, finishing it in less than half an hour. However, cooking porridge for just one person takes much longer.

She had borrowed this rice from Wang Feng; she couldn't bear to drink it herself. After feeding He Yuzhu the porridge, she would go out and buy two cornbread buns or steamed buns, otherwise she wouldn't be able to hold on any longer.

Carrying a bowl of thin porridge to the ward, He Yushui fed He Yuzhu spoonful by spoonful after the porridge cooled down.

Looking at He Yushui's bloodshot eyes and chapped lips, Sha Zhu felt very sad, guilty, and deeply moved.

He secretly vowed in his heart that he would be a good older brother in the future and would never let Yushui suffer any more grievances.

Having narrowly escaped death, he no longer intends to fight Xu Damao. Once he recovers, he decides to return to the hospital and personally apologize to Xu Damao.

He was now a cripple and could no longer carry on the He family line. In the days to come, he only hoped that Yu Shui would be safe and happy.

After feeding He Yuzhu a bowl of porridge, He Yushui said, "You rest well. I'll go find something to eat and I'll be right back."

After saying that, He Yushui opened the door to the ward and walked out.

......

at the same time.

Dongcheng District, police station.

After dispatching twenty police officers to arrest Ninth Master and his gang, the police interrogated them.

Ninth Master, along with Second Master, Fourth Master, Fifth Master, and others, confessed to all the crimes they had committed, thus sparing them from further torture.

With the cooperation of Ninth Master and his gang, the police quickly sorted out the case.

It's quite funny, actually. Ninth Master and his family were originally legitimate businessmen. A few years ago, Ninth Master was a kind and charitable man who ran a century-old Chinese medicine shop passed down from his ancestors. He used to often provide free medical care to the poor. If someone was really in trouble, he would only charge the cost of the medicine, or even let the patient pay on credit. If the patient really couldn't pay for the medicine, he would even waive the medicine fee.

The second, third, fourth, and fifth brothers, including the sixth brother who attacked He Yuzhu, were all refugees who had been rescued by Ninth Master a few years ago. Ninth Master even found them jobs and helped them get married and have children.

If it weren't for the manager's reckless instructions that led to the closure of the century-old Chinese medicine shop and the loss of their livelihood, they wouldn't have embarked on this path of no return.

After interrogation, it was revealed that Ninth Master and his gang had committed many heinous acts. They took money to do their jobs, and over the years, they had broken the hands and feet of dozens of people. This was their first job taking a life, but unfortunately, they were arrested before they could kill their target.

Even more unfortunately, even Ninth Master didn't know who had hired the killer.

According to the information provided by Ninth Master, the person was wearing a hood when he came to them, and he also deliberately changed his voice when he spoke, which made it impossible for the police to investigate the case.

The case was closed when it reached Ninth Master, and the police couldn't do anything about it. However, although Ninth Master and his gang were forced into their mistakes by circumstances, they still had to be punished accordingly.

The police conducted separate interrogations, and the group of people voluntarily confessed and cooperated, making the details of Master Jiu's case clear and unambiguous.

The police have transferred the case of Ninth Master and his gang to the procuratorate, and they will face a court verdict.

Ninth Master had long known that, as the gang leader, his crime warranted the heaviest sentence, with a minimum of twenty years.

Lao Liu's crime should be the second most serious. He shot and killed someone in the street. It is unknown whether He Yuzhu is dead or not, but it is an indisputable fact that Lao Liu attacked and killed He Yuzhu twice.

Then there's the third brother, who also attempted to assassinate He Yuzhu once, but he was the first to be caught.

The remaining second, fourth, and fifth brothers had broken other people's hands and feet before, so their sentences shouldn't be as severe.
