The Courtyard House: Xu Damao's Aunt is the Queen of Women

Intermediate People's Court.

Sha Zhu only suffered linear fractures of three ribs, without displacement, and had no obvious chest tightness or shortness of breath. The doctor at Hongxing Hospital prescribed some medicine for him and told him to go home and rest.

In the main hall of the house, a girl with delicate features, a thin and frail figure, and slightly sallow skin sat by the stove warming herself.

He Yushui, who was home for the holiday today, felt a mix of emotions after hearing about what had happened in the courtyard recently.

Feeling sorry for Sha Zhu?

Instead of feeling sorry for him, I felt a bit schadenfreude.

When she returned home at the end of last month, she met Ye Juan once and was stunned by Ye Juan's appearance. When she learned that her older brother actually wanted to pursue Ye Juan, she happily asked her how Ye Juan would be her sister-in-law.

He Yushui remained silent for a long time, thinking that she might as well say something nice to make her older brother happy, and maybe he would give her more living expenses.

So she strongly supported him, praising her brother and Ye Juan as a perfect match, a match made in heaven. Then Sha Zhu was in a great mood and, for the first time ever, gave her ten yuan.

He Yushui was overjoyed to receive the money. She continued to coax her older brother and got a few more cloth and cotton coupons, which she used to buy a thick new cotton coat.

I came back today hoping to use the same old trick again to coax my older brother into giving me some money to improve our lives.

Unexpectedly, Ye Juan got married, but the groom wasn't her own older brother!

Hmm, it couldn't be her brother either!

Unless Ye Juan is blind... no, even if she were blind, she wouldn't be interested in her brother.

She knew very well what kind of person her older brother was; let alone marrying Ye Juan, he would have a hard time even marrying an ordinary woman.

But his older brother was so confident! He actually thought that Ye Juan's boyfriend was someone else, and that Liu, the accountant who had just arrived at the steel mill, had snatched him away. He was so reckless that he went after Liu.

Then, I got beaten up!

Seeing that Sister Ye Juan was beautiful, he tried to have his cake and eat it too, and was beaten again.

He verbally abused Liu Guangqi's girlfriend and got beaten up again!

He was beaten so badly he had to be hospitalized. His entire body was covered in sores; his nose was broken, his teeth were knocked out, and three of his ribs were broken. It was a horrific sight.

"Hmph, Rain Water, let me tell you, your brother will make sure Liu Hao, that little bastard, is killed sooner or later to avenge this grudge."

Silly Zhu, sitting on the chair next to He Yushui, made some harsh remarks, trying to regain his dignity in front of her.

He Yushui didn't want to advise him. This older brother was narrow-minded and vindictive. If you advised him to take a step back and let things be, you would only invite his scolding and blame you for not taking his side, thinking that you looked down on him.

But considering the issue of her family's falsified ingredients, she had to advise against it.

If her older brother, reckless as he is, provokes Liu Hao again and is reported by Liu Hao for falsifying his background, she will also suffer the consequences.

At the same time, she also resented Liu Hao. Although my brother provoked you first, you had the absolute advantage and didn't suffer any losses. You even beat my brother up so badly, and even my uncles and the deaf old lady were beaten.

When it's possible to show mercy, there's no need to go to extremes.

"Brother, learn from your mistake. Don't mess with Liu Hao again. You can't beat him..."

Sha Zhu's eyes widened, and he angrily questioned, "Yu Shui, do you look down on your brother?"

"..."

A hint of disdain flashed in He Yushui's eyes as she cursed inwardly for this stupid brother who had absolutely no self-awareness.

If you were so capable, would you have been beaten half to death?

"Brother, I..."

"Comrades in Courtyard No. 95, please inform each other that everyone must go to the Intermediate Court for a meeting immediately."

A strong voice rang out, and He Yushui turned her head to look. Xie Dabiao came into view, and she also saw Liu Hao walking side by side with Ye Juan.

Just now, Ma Chao, the 17-year-old second son of the Ma family in the front yard, told her what happened in the yard. He described Liu Hao as tall, handsome, and dignified, and said he was a good match for Ye Juan.

She was a little skeptical at the time, but now she believes it.

"Who is it? Why are you making such a fuss?"

Sha Zhu, who was in a bad mood, muttered something to himself and turned to look.

Xie Dabiao had already reached the door, and under the light, the red armband on his right arm was clearly visible.

Social Education Corps!!!

Sha Zhu was struck dumb, and He Yushui was stunned, her mind blank.

"Fuck you, Liu Hao! I'm going to kill you!"

A roar, like a thunderclap from a clear sky, startled Xie Dabiao and his companions.

Sha Zhu's eyes were bloodshot, and the veins on his forehead were throbbing. His old face, which had been somewhat surprised, was now twisted into a ferocious and terrifying shape.

But the next second, the enraged Shazhu clutched his chest and coughed violently, wincing in pain.

With three broken ribs, how dare he yell like that? No wonder it hurts.

Xie Dabiao stood at the door, sizing up Sha Zhu a few times, his brows furrowing slightly.

"You are... He Daqing?"

Sha Zhu's vision went black; he was so angry he almost fainted.

A panicked He Yushui quickly stood up and said, "This is my brother, He Yuzhu. I... I'm his sister, He Yushui!"

Xie Dabiao looked at Sha Zhu with surprise and doubt. Does he look so mature?

"Yes, I am Xie Dabiao, the leader of the first group of the third team of the Dongcheng District Social Education Corps. Today I received a real-name report that the He family has falsified their family background. Please come with me to accept the investigation."

Upon hearing this, He Yushui's heart skipped a beat, tears welled up in her eyes, and she collapsed to the ground, wailing loudly.

Sha Zhu, quick-witted as ever, came up with a quick explanation while crying, "Team Leader Xie, that old bastard He Daqing abandoned my brother and me in 1951. I was only sixteen then, and my sister was seven. We've relied on each other all these years. I know nothing about this falsification of our family background!"

Hearing this, Xie Dabiao felt a little sympathy and was basically certain that He Yuzhu and He Yushui were unaware of the situation, since the siblings were still young at the time.

Based on past experience in handling similar cases, the two siblings will not be severely punished in principle, but they will be implicated, mainly in the review and adjustment of their birth status, without direct criminal punishment.

This is actually quite serious. Their family background will be re-evaluated based on their actual social status, leaving a stain on their records. This will affect their political background checks, recruitment, school admissions, and performance evaluations.

Xie Dabiao looked at He Yushui, who was crying uncontrollably, and his tone became much gentler.

"Stop crying. This family background issue is a mess created by your father, He Daqing. It has nothing to do with you two."

"The policy stipulates that there should be no punishment based on family members. At most, you two just need to cooperate in making a statement and explain what happened back then. It's not as serious as you think."

Not serious? That's easy for you to say when you're not the one suffering!

Sha Zhu wept uncontrollably, while He Yushui felt utterly devastated.

If their background is falsified, their records will be tainted, and their future will be basically ruined.

Liu Hao!!!

Sha Zhu turned his head, clenched his fists, stared intently at Liu Hao standing in the yard, his breathing rapid, and he was so angry he was about to go crazy.

Liu Hao remained calm and composed, not taking Sha Zhu seriously at all.

Would a fierce tiger be afraid of the barking of a mad dog?

Hiding behind the crowd, Xu Damao, feeling both guilty and excited, was flushed, his mouth almost stretched to his ears, as if he wanted to roar to the sky.

Hahaha, you silly Zhu, you silly Zhu, let's see if you're still so arrogant now!

The deaf old woman, Yi Zhonghai, had a gloomy face. Her hatred for Liu Hao had reached its peak. She wished she could skin Liu Hao alive, tear him apart, and grind his bones to dust.

Moreover, they both hated and feared it, because He Daqing would definitely be arrested, and if his extortion was exposed, they would be finished too!

What to do? What to do?

The deaf elderly woman, Yi Zhonghai, was extremely anxious, which caused her blood pressure to spike and she almost suffered a cerebral hemorrhage!
