Courtyard House: Wudang Disciple Sweeps Through the Compound

Back in Qin Family Village, she was a famously beautiful girl. Now, people were saying she had a round face. She wondered to herself: Is my face really that big?

Sigh, thinking about it carefully, it does seem to be quite large.

But Qin Huairu had lived in the courtyard house for so many years and had long since developed a skill of endurance.

She showed no anger on her face, continuing to feign a pitiful appearance and pleading, "Chen Wenqi, please have mercy and help your sister. She's truly desperate and that's why she's begging you."

Chen Wenqi's face darkened, and he shouted sternly, "Shut up! Who is your sister? Don't try to claim kinship here."

"If a scab needs to grow, it should ask its father for food. What good will it do to come to me? What bad luck to run into someone as unreasonable as you!"

After saying this, Chen Wenqi slammed the door shut without waiting for Qin Huairu to say anything more.

Qin Huairu stood at the Chen family's door, trembling with anger.

Chen Wenqi's public mockery and heartless rejection were a tremendous humiliation for Qin Huairu, who valued her reputation. She harbored a deep hatred for this fourteen-year-old boy and extended that hatred to the entire Chen family.

No, when Yi Zhonghai comes home from get off work tonight, she must complain to him and make sure he teaches the Chen family a lesson. Ideally, they should be driven out of the courtyard house so that the house can belong to the Jia family.

Many neighbors in the backyard secretly witnessed Qin Huairu's humiliation and secretly laughed.

The deaf old woman also saw this scene through the crack in her own window. She stared at Chen Wenqi's door for a long time with complicated emotions, seemingly plotting something.

Inside the Chen family's house, Chen Wenqi and his two siblings were completely unaffected by the commotion outside and continued to eat their lunch peacefully.

While picking at the rice in her bowl, Chen Wenzi asked with a face full of curiosity, "Brother, are you going fishing by the river again tomorrow? Can you take me with you? I want to go and see too."

Upon hearing the word "fishing," Chen Wensi, the younger sister sitting next to Chen Wenqi, immediately became excited. She eagerly tugged at Chen Wenqi's sleeve and said in a coquettish tone, "Brother, I want to go too! I want to go fishing with you!"

Chen Wenqi smiled and gently flicked his little sister's nose with his finger, saying in a gentle tone, "Okay, but once we get to the river, you can't run around. You have to stay obediently by your brother's side. If you don't behave, I won't take you out to play anymore."

Chen Wenzi nodded vigorously, earnestly promising, "Yes, brother, don't worry, I'll definitely be good and won't run around! By the way, brother, was that Jia Dongxu's wife who knocked on the door just now? What does she want from our house?"

Chen Wenqi's expression darkened, and he solemnly warned, "Xiao Zi, you must remember this well: there aren't many truly reliable people in this courtyard. When dealing with people in the courtyard in the future, you must be careful and never be easily deceived by others."

Chen Wenzi replied earnestly, "Brother, I understand. Last time, Uncle Zhao next door stewed braised pork, and Jia Dongxu's wife ran over with a big bowl to ask for it. Aunt Zhao refused to give it to her, and as a result, Uncle Yi even held a general meeting for the whole courtyard to criticize Uncle Zhao's family for not being united."

I don't think Grandpa Yi is a good person either. Why should refusing to give him meat be considered a sign of disunity? That's so unreasonable.

After hearing his younger brother's words, Chen Wenqi raised an eyebrow in surprise and praised him with a smile, "Wow, Xiao Zi is quite something. She's got a sharp mind and sees things very clearly."

Chen Wenzi proudly puffed out her small chest and said smugly, "Of course! I always rank in the top three in my grade in school exams!"

Chen Wenqi nodded approvingly and instructed, "Yes, this is indeed a very good result. You must keep it up. In the courtyard, let's just live our own quiet lives and not meddle in other people's affairs."

But we must also remember that not provoking trouble doesn't mean we're afraid of trouble. As long as we're in the right, we have nothing to fear.

Chen Wenzi lowered her head heavily and said firmly, "Yes, brother, I'll remember your words."

Looking at his younger brother's intelligent and sensible appearance, Chen Wenqi secretly pondered. His brother was already very clever, and he had previously given him the Yi Jing Marrow Cleansing Pill to improve his physique. Why not take this opportunity to teach him some kung fu? After all, these days are not peaceful.

Bullying incidents common in schools, robberies that may occur on the street, and even enemy agents lurking in the shadows are not uncommon in this special era.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Wenqi raised his head, looked at Chen Wenzi, and asked, "Xiao Zi, do you want to learn kung fu?"

Chen Wenzi's eyes lit up immediately, and she asked with a face full of curiosity, "Brother, you know kung fu? How come I never knew that?"

Chen Wenqi explained with a smile, "When I went out before, I happened to meet an old Taoist priest who traveled around. He saw that I had a connection with him, so he taught me kung fu for a while. Now your brother is very skilled. If you can learn these kung fu skills, you will never be afraid of being bullied by others at school or outside."

Chen Wenzi's face lit up with surprise, and she said in a tone of disbelief, "Brother, is this true? I've never heard you mention that you know kung fu before."

Chen Wenqi smiled and waved his hand, continuing to explain, "You were too young back then, it wouldn't have been of any use telling you this. Okay, stop asking so many questions, do you even want to learn?"

Chen Wenzi nodded hurriedly and said eagerly, "Learn! Of course I want to learn! Many of my classmates have signed up for wrestling classes. I've wanted to learn kung fu for a long time, but wrestling costs a lot of tuition, so I haven't dared to tell my mom."

Chen Wenqi chuckled, a hint of smugness in his voice, and said, "Hehe, if you can learn the kung fu I teach you, even if ten wrestlers came at once, they wouldn't be a match for you."

Upon hearing this, Chen Wenzi nodded excitedly and said eagerly, "Brother, I'll learn! When will you start teaching me? I can't wait!"

Chen Wenqi smiled and reached out to gently rub his younger brother's hair, saying, "Okay, it's settled then. After breakfast tomorrow morning, I'll take you to practice your skills."

Little sister Chen Wensi opened her round, almond-shaped eyes wide, her little hands quickly tugging at Chen Wenqi's sleeve, and she said in a sweet, coquettish voice, "Brother, I want to learn martial arts from you too! I want to become as powerful as you!"
