Love in the Courtyard: Starting with Engineers

Everyone in the courtyard was stunned by the scene and didn't know what had happened. Other residents who heard the commotion also gathered at Li Yu's door.

Xu Damao, who was eating, put down his bowl and said to Lou Xiao'e, "There's going to be a good show, let's go!"

Lou Xiao'e, holding her bowl, said, "Go if you want, I haven't finished eating yet."

Seeing this, Xu Damao put on his coat and went out by himself. When he arrived at Li Yu's door, he saw Qin Huai coming out and saying, "Hello, Li Yu."

Seeing that Li Yu was shouting louder and louder, Yi Zhonghai came over and asked in a feigned manner:

"What are you yelling about, Li boy? What's wrong?" Yi Zhonghai was puzzled to see that only Li Yu was in the courtyard and he didn't see Qin Huairu.

Just then, Yi Zhonghai got closer and closer to Li Yu.

When Li Yu saw Yi Zhonghai coming over, he stuffed a red bean bun into Yi Zhonghai's mouth.

As soon as Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, he felt Li Yu stuff something into his mouth.

But when he vomited nothing, he glared at Li Yu and demanded, "What did you feed me?!"

Li Yu said nonchalantly, "What? I have food, why would I give it to you? Look at your mouth, is there anything in it before you tell me?"

Yi Zhonghai doesn't want to get entangled with him about this right now.

Then Qin Huairu came out of Li Yu's house.

The onlookers began to whisper among themselves, "What is Qin Huairu doing going to someone's place so late at night?"

The person who arrived quickly replied, "It seems that Qin Huai went to Li Yu's house to seduce him, but Li Yu didn't like her."

Upon seeing Qin Huairu dressed neatly, Yi Zhonghai blurted out:

"Didn't I send you here to lure the carp? Why are you dressed so neatly? How come you can't even do this simple thing right?"

The moment Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, the entire courtyard fell silent, as if a pause button had been pressed.

Yi Zhonghai's secret passage is over, how come I suddenly revealed everything?

The courtyard erupted in excitement. Xu Damao, who was at the very front of the crowd, shouted:

"So it turns out that Yi Zhonghai sent Qin Huai to seduce Brother Li Yu!"

Yi Zhonghai opened his mouth to refute, but what came out was indeed:

"And that old deaf man in the backyard was also involved in the plot."

Everyone's attention turned to the deaf old woman standing next to Sha Zhu, and the people next to her even took a few steps back.

Fearing she might touch him, everyone then realized that Sha Zhu was still holding a kitchen knife.

In an instant, everyone looked at Sha Zhu with suspicion. Who would watch a show with a knife? This guy was clearly up to no good.

Li Yu looked at Yi Zhonghai with hostility and asked:

"What would you do if I fell for your trick?"

Yi Zhonghai tried desperately to shut up, but he couldn't help but say:

"When the time comes, hand over your house and your parents' pension, and let Sha Zhu sever your Achilles tendons and throw you out of the compound."

After listening, Li Yu clapped his hands and said, "All the neighbors have seen it. This is our moral vanguard, Grandpa. He even used such insidious methods against a junior like me."

Those who heard Yi Zhonghai say this felt a chill run down their spines; it was too ruthless.

They all said, "I always thought the old man was kind and gentle, but I never expected him to be so ruthless. He's driving someone to their death."

When the deaf old woman saw Yi Zhonghai blurt out all his plans, she felt like strangling him.

She quickly told He Yuzhu to cover Yi Zhonghai's mouth.

Although He Yuzhu was young and strong, Yi Zhonghai, as a fitter, was naturally not much weaker. He thought He Yuzhu was going to hit him, and the two of them started fighting.

This scene left everyone stunned. The deaf old lady quickly shouted, "Quickly, go and pull them apart!"

Seeing that no one paid attention to her, she looked at Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong and asked, "Aren't you going to do anything about it?"

"So, if the old man in charge of the courtyard causes any problems, you'll be responsible."

Upon hearing this, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui quickly sent their children to pull him away, while Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiefang went to pull Sha Zhu, and Liu Guangqi and Liu Guangfu went to pull Yi Zhonghai.

As for Liu Guangtian, he should be arriving soon with the police.

When Liu Haizhong first heard Yi Zhonghai say he was going to frame Li Yu, he knew this was a good opportunity to bring Yi Zhonghai down, so he quickly asked Liu Guangtian to call the police.

Looking at the two people being pulled apart, the deaf old woman felt a headache coming on. Yi Zhonghai looked at He Yuzhu and said:

"Why are you hitting me, you big idiot! I sent you here to sever Li Yu's Achilles tendons."

Li Yu became increasingly agitated as he listened. Although he had known about it beforehand, he still had to rush out when the conversation turned out to be full of nonsense.

No one could tolerate it, so Li Yu walked up to Yi Zhonghai, raised his hand, and slapped Yi Zhonghai's face several times.

Seeing that Li Yu was about to continue hitting, the older woman quickly grabbed Li Yu's hand and said:

"Stop hitting him, Old Yi is going to faint if you keep hitting him. This old lady apologized to you, so please let my Old Yi go."

Seeing that Yi Zhonghai's face was swollen like a pig's head, Li Yu stopped what he was doing.

Yi Zhonghai's face instantly swelled up like a pig's head.

Seeing the old man being beaten, Sha Zhu picked up a kitchen knife from the ground, pointed it at Li Yu, and started cursing:

"You little brat, how dare you hit an old man like me! I'll kill you!" he said, raising a kitchen knife to chop.

Li Yu grabbed Sha Zhu's hand holding the kitchen knife and twisted it hard. With a crack, his wrist was dislocated instantly. Then he kicked Sha Zhu in the chest, which also cracked several times.

The onlookers grinned at the sight, and Xu Damao found it even more satisfying than when he went to the countryside to harass a widow.

Just as Li Yu was about to go up and add another kick, Liu Guangtian arrived with the police.

As soon as the two policemen entered, they saw Li Yu kick Sha Zhu away. They immediately pulled out their pistols, pointed them at Li Yu, and shouted:

"Stop! If you do that again, we'll shoot!" (Hands behind head, crouch down)

Although Li Yu felt he could dodge the gun pointed at him, he wasn't that reckless, so he obediently covered his head and squatted down.

Seeing that Li Yu was cooperating, the police put down their guns, but remained vigilant towards him.

The scene they witnessed upon entering was quite shocking: a burly man was kicked several meters away.

Seeing the police put away their guns, Liu Haizhong immediately approached them and said, "Hello, officers. I am Liu Haizhong, the second uncle in charge of our compound."

Upon seeing that it was the official in charge, the police quickly inquired about the specifics of the situation.

Liu Haizhong recounted the whole story from beginning to end, and they never expected that the person who did the beating was actually the victim.

The two police officers questioned several residents in the compound and then confirmed that Liu Haizhong was telling the truth.

Then one of the policemen took out handcuffs and was about to take Yi Zhonghai, Qin Huairu, and Sha Zhu back for questioning, while the other went to the Jia family to find Jia Zhangshi.

Upon seeing this, an older woman quickly grabbed the police officer and asked:

"Look at how badly my husband is doing, can we please not take him with us?"

One of the police officers asked the older woman, "Who are you?"

The older woman quickly replied, "I am his wife."

The police officer didn't stop handcuffing Yi Zhonghai.

"Could you take a blanket to the police station for him later? Okay, move aside, don't delay our investigation."

The deaf old lady had originally wanted to plead for mercy, but seeing the situation, she remained silent.

Another policeman said to Li Yu, "Although there was a reason for it, you went too far. Let it go this time, but remember this for the future."

Li Yu quickly agreed, "Okay, I'll try my best to be careful in the future." As he spoke, he looked at Sha Zhu and Yi Zhonghai.

Seeing the two policemen leading four people away, Jia Zhangshi suddenly sat down on the ground, rolling around and shouting:

"Old Jia, Dongxu! Come quickly! Our Jia family, a widow and her orphans, is being bullied!"

Her legs kept kicking wildly, and one of the policemen couldn't stand it anymore and kicked her. Jia Zhangshi was instantly silenced.

The two police officers then took the four people directly to the police station.

When the onlookers realized there was no more drama to watch, they dispersed. Just as Li Yu was about to close the door at home, he sensed a pair of eyes from the Jia family watching him.

Li Yu didn't even need to guess; it was definitely that kid Bang Geng. He had been watching from the window from the very beginning.
