Courtyard House: Wudang Disciple Sweeps Through the Compound

Hearing the commotion outside, the neighbors in the courtyard rushed out of their homes to see what was going on, and soon they had surrounded half of the courtyard.

Someone whispered among themselves, "Chen Wenqi is probably in for a lot of trouble this time. Of all people to mess with, he had to pick on Jia Zhangshi, that notorious shrew. When the eldest master comes back, he'll definitely cause trouble for the Chen family."

Some people couldn't stand it anymore and muttered, "Didn't you see it with your own eyes? It was clearly Jia Zhangshi who saw the fish and wanted to snatch it. This old woman is getting more and more lawless, even stealing things so blatantly."

Someone quickly tugged at the speaker's arm and whispered, "Shh, keep your voice down. Don't let Jia Zhangshi hear you, or she'll definitely come after you. There's no need to invite trouble."

Most of the neighbors were just looking for a good show and no one was willing to step forward to stop Jia Zhangshi, fearing that they would get entangled with her and cause her a lot of trouble.

Chen Wenqi was also holding back his anger. When he saw Jia Zhangshi rushing towards him again, he nimbly dodged to the side once more.

Jia Zhangshi lunged forward with such force that she couldn't stop herself. She tripped and fell flat on her face, landing hard on her stomach.

Her nose and mouth hit the hard cement floor, and she immediately let out a piercing scream of pain.

Madam Jia Zhang collapsed to the ground, rolling around as she wailed and cursed, "Ouch! My old bones are about to break! It hurts so much! You fatherless little beast, you have the guts to hit an old woman like me! I'll fight you to the death today!"

Seeing her throwing a tantrum and acting unreasonably, Chen Wenqi retorted angrily without any politeness: "Old hag, you tripped and fell because you weren't watching where you were going. You deserve to suffer for it. Even if you get seriously injured, it's your own fault and has nothing to do with anyone else!"

Just as tensions were about to escalate, Qin Huairu heard the commotion in the courtyard growing louder and rushed out of the house. Seeing Jia Zhangshi lying on the ground groaning and in pain, she angrily confronted Chen Wenqi without asking any questions: "Chen Wenqi, how could you hit someone? Even if there are conflicts between neighbors, you can't act so impulsively! Hitting someone is going too far!"

Chen Wenqi was furious, his face turning ashen and his chest heaving. He shouted at Qin Huairu, "Qin Huairu, are you blind and can't see right from wrong? So many neighbors are watching! Didn't you see that this old hag tripped and fell? If you keep making trouble here without distinguishing right from wrong, believe me, I'll call the police and accuse Jia Zhangshi of robbing me!"

Qin Huairu remained defiant and refused to back down, stubbornly arguing, "My mother-in-law was just joking with you, just trying to have some fun. If you hadn't deliberately dodged and not given way to her, how could she have fallen for no reason?"

Chen Wenqi let out a mocking laugh and angrily cursed, "You Jia family members are all so shameless and despicable. Who has time to joke with such boring people as you? Get out of here right now. I'm too lazy to waste my breath on you bunch of scoundrels."

After saying this, he ignored Qin Huairu's entanglement and didn't bother with Jia Zhangshi, who was lying on the ground and continuing to throw a tantrum. He turned around and walked straight towards his own home in the backyard.

Qin Huairu was speechless after being rebuked by Chen Wenqi's merciless words. She could only manage to utter a single "you" after a long while. She never expected that Chen Wenqi, who usually seemed honest and humble, would dare to speak to her like this today, and with such a tough attitude.

A flash of resentment crossed her eyes as she secretly gritted her teeth and plotted: Just you wait. When Uncle Yi Zhonghai comes home from get off work, I'll see how arrogant you can be. I'll make sure he teaches you a lesson and makes you pay for what you did today.

Jia Zhangshi was still throwing a tantrum on the ground, refusing to get up. She slapped her thighs and wailed, "Is there any justice in this world?! That little beast from the Chen family actually hit someone!"

Old Jia, if you're watching from heaven, please show yourself and take this lawless little beast away from me! Don't let him continue to bully this lonely old woman here!

She threw a tantrum and made a ruckus, calling out to the empty air incoherently, but Chen Wenqi simply ignored these greedy and tyrannical people who were like jackals and tigers.

He needed to hurry back home to plan the future development of the Xuanwu Secret Realm. As for dealing with the Jia family, there would be plenty of time and opportunities later, so there was no need to rush.

Qin Huairu only then noticed that Jia Zhangshi was bleeding from her mouth and nose. Panicked, she quickly knelt down and asked anxiously, "Mom, are you alright? How badly are you injured? Are you alright?"

Jia Zhangshi shoved Qin Huairu away forcefully, and shouted angrily with a shameless face, "You useless piece of trash, what are you standing here for? Hurry up and help me up!"

"That little bastard has really gone too far! Today, Old Yi has to teach him a lesson. Not only will he have to pay for my medical treatment, but he also has to give me back my house!"

Chen Wenqi had already returned to his home in the backyard. As soon as he opened the door, his little girl Chen Wensi and younger brother Chen Wenzi rushed out of the house excitedly, their faces full of anticipation.

The two little ones' eyes immediately fell on the two plump fish that Chen Wenqi was carrying. Their eyes instantly lit up like stars in the night sky, sparkling with undisguised surprise.

Little Sisi, with her chubby little face upturned, looked up at Chen Wenqi with great joy and asked, "Brother, brother, are we going to eat fish today? These two fish look so big, they must be delicious!"

Chen Wenzi quickly stepped forward, her face full of surprise, and said, "Brother, did you really catch these two huge fish yourself? They're so big! They're much bigger than any fish I've ever seen before!"

Chen Wenqi smiled and reached out to gently pat the two little ones' heads, saying in a tender tone:

"That's right, these two fish were caught by my brother when he went sea fishing in Shicha. Let's eat the smaller one for lunch to satisfy our cravings, and then we'll eat the bigger one together when Mom comes home from the hospital tonight, so she can have a good taste too."
