Courtyard House: New Life, New Silly Zhu

Chapter 75

It's Sunday again, but I'm going home early today.

There were only a few tables at the banquet this time, but He Yuzhu still went.

Now that he needs to make money, he can't be picky about jobs. He's taking on all jobs except funerals.

He also played a trick: every time someone introduced someone to him, he would give the introducer a one-yuan commission. Before long, people started introducing people to him.

He Yuzhu went home early today and went to Yang Lifang's dormitory.

However, He Yuzhu didn't go in, since Yang Lifang had several roommates. It wouldn't be convenient for him, as a man, to go in.

"Knock knock knock"

A knock sounded at the door. Footsteps came from inside. "Who is it?" The door opened, and He Yuzhu saw He Yushui knitting a sweater.

"Wait, why are you back so early today, brother?" He Yushui asked in confusion.

Upon hearing that it was He Yuzhu, Yang Lifang also came out: "Brother Zhu, you're back."

"Yeah. There wasn't much work today, so I came back early," He Yuzhu said with a smile.

Yang Lifang opened the door: "Brother Zhu, come in quickly. My colleagues all went to the park today, there are no outsiders here."

"

Hearing that there were no outsiders, He Yuzhu didn't stand on ceremony and went inside.

The dormitory is small, only about ten square meters, with a table and two bunk beds.

The dormitory was filled with all sorts of odds and ends and luggage, making it look both chaotic and crowded.

Yang Lifang brought over a glass of water, placed it on the table, and said with a smile, "Brother Zhu, please have some water."

"No need to be so polite." He Yuzhu waved his hand, and was about to speak when He Yushui tugged at his clothes.

He Yuzhu looked at his sister with a puzzled expression: "What's wrong?"

"My sister-in-law's colleagues all went to the park today, but she didn't go because she wanted to keep me company," He Yushui reminded her brother.

He Yuzhu looked at Yang Lifang: "Xiaofang, why don't we go to the park too?"

Yang Lifang shook her head and said with a smile, "No need, it's already this late, so I won't go." With that, she sat back down on the bed and knitted with He Yushui.

"Sister-in-law, just go. Neither you nor my brother have ever gone out to play before. Let's go today," He Yushui advised.

"Yes, Xiaofang, let's go to the park too. We've never gone out together by ourselves before," He Yuzhu suggested.

Seeing the siblings' expressions, Yang Lifang knew that if they didn't go, they would probably come up with other excuses, so she nodded: "Alright then, let's go to the park, but we need to come back early."

Upon hearing that it was a group, He Yushui quickly said, "Me too? No, no way, I won't go and be a third wheel. You guys go, it's your date after all."

In the end, He Yuzhu and Yang Lifang went to the park together, while He Yushui stayed in the dormitory.

The park was bustling with people, including many young couples like He Yuzhu and Yang Lifang.

The two stood about half a meter apart, neither speaking, creating a somewhat awkward atmosphere.

"Hey Xiaofang, how about we go over there? We're about half a meter apart right now, it's not a good place to chat," He Yuzhu said, pointing to the other side.

Yang Lifang glanced at He Yuzhu and nodded. She felt uncomfortable in the crowd and decided to change locations.

So the two walked in the other direction, getting closer and closer along the way, until they were shoulder to shoulder, holding hands intimately.

A few people were strolling in the park. "Hey, look at this huge park, how are we going to find it?"

As this complaint rang out, everyone nodded in agreement: "Exactly, we only know the name He Yuzhu, how are we supposed to find him?"

"Sigh, there's no portrait at all, what a hassle. All we know is a man and a woman, the man's name is He Yuzhu."

The crowd buzzed with discussion; they had already explored the area over the past few days. Today, they had walked around the park from the entrance to the back, and were now preparing to take this final path. They hadn't taken this path before because they saw no one there.

There were no other pedestrians on the path at that moment, only a couple walking ahead.

He Yuzhu and his group didn't see that several more people had appeared behind them.

"Hey, there's a couple over there," someone behind them joked with a laugh.

The group looked ahead and saw the couple flirting. "How annoying," the woman said.

In secluded places, men become bolder. Just like He Yuzhu, who went from holding hands to embracing, and now He Yuzhu is about to kiss Yang Lifang's cheek.

"He! Yu! Zhu!" Yang Lifang blushed and tried to push He Yu Zhu away, but she couldn't muster any strength.

He Yuzhu chuckled, realizing that Yang Lifang had tacitly agreed, but was just shy and embarrassed.

Otherwise, how could Yang Lifang not be able to push him away? Thinking of this, He Yuzhu became even bolder.

Just then, a cold snort came from behind: "You must be He Yuzhu."

He Yuzhu turned around and saw several people walking towards him: "Kid, we've really been looking for you."

"Who are you? Do I know you?" He Yuzhu asked doubtfully, but he already guessed that these people probably had ill intentions.

He Yuzhu shielded Yang Lifang behind him, watching them warily.

"Hmph, you don't recognize us? Then let us introduce you to us." With that, he waved his hand and led several people to charge over.

"Run! Call the police!" He Yuzhu shouted as he fought with them.

Unlike Xu Damao, He Yuzhu had been fighting in the courtyard since he was a child and was very experienced in fighting. Although he had the advantage in numbers, he could not defeat him.

Yang Lifang was very anxious, but she also knew that since He Yuzhu hadn't suffered any losses, she shouldn't cause trouble.

Yang Lifang immediately ran out to call the police, but at that moment she realized that He Yuzhu had been attacked and hit on the back.

He Yuzhu could only protect his front, and couldn't protect his back at all, so he could only take the beatings continuously.

As a rural person who came from a time of war and chaos, Yang Lifang naturally had a fierce streak. When she saw her husband being beaten, she immediately rushed over.

He saw a stone on the road, picked it up, and threw it at the person who had ambushed He Yuzhu.

"Ouch!" A scream rang out, and He Yuzhu turned around to see that Yang Lifang had hit the attacker.

Without thinking twice, he rushed forward, shouting, "Xiao Fang! Why did you come back?"

"Brother Zhu, I can't run away. There are so many of them, you can't beat them all by yourself." Yang Lifang said, picking up the stones from the ground again.

He Yuzhu looked into Yang Lifang's determined eyes and felt a surge of emotion. He knew Yang Lifang was doing it for his own good, so he nodded. He Yuzhu also picked up the stones from the ground, preparing for them to get started.

At this moment, the men who were supporting the bloodied men on the ground glared fiercely at Yang Lifang.

But Yang Lifang's gaze was even colder, and they instantly felt a little timid.

At this moment, some people also arrived from a distance. Seeing this scene, they knew something was wrong and quickly stepped back.

"You just wait." The man habitually made a threat, but then realized they had to run immediately, or it would be too late.

He Yuzhu didn't chase after them. Instead, he waved to the people coming from a distance and said, "Comrade, there are bad guys here. Go call the police quickly."

Back in the dormitory, He Yushui waited and waited, but no one came. She paced back and forth anxiously.
