Courtyard House: My max-level medical skills specialize in treating beasts.

After finishing the crayfish, Lou Xiao'e and He Yushui both competed with Yu Li to clean up.

After Yu Li and the others left, Yang Wei glanced at the rewards in the system space and then took the trash out to dispose of it.

"Rewards: a bad luck charm, a pack of White Rabbit milk candy, three catties of pork, and ten catties of rice."

........

As Jia Zhangshi stepped into the courtyard, Qin Huairu was leaning against the doorframe picking vegetables. Seeing the large, bulging bag in her hand, she couldn't help but ask, "Mom, where did you get so many shrimp heads?"

Jia Zhangshi put the shrimp heads on the ground, clapped her hands, and said excitedly, "What else could it be? I saw Yang Wei throw away a pile of perfectly intact shrimp heads when he took out the trash, all wrapped up neatly! That silly boy, he doesn't even know shrimp heads are edible, what a waste of good stuff!"

Qin Huairu peeked inside; the shrimp heads were all intact, and the claws were still sticking out—they looked really fresh.

But she remembered that when Yang Wei cooked crayfish, he specifically picked out all the shrimp heads and threw them away. She had been puzzled at the time, and now, after hearing Jia Zhangshi say this, she couldn't help but wonder, "Why would Yang Wei, who's perfectly fine, throw away edible shrimp heads?"

"Grandma, can we eat this?" Banggeng squatted next to the shrimp head, reaching out to poke the hard shell. "It looks like it'll hurt your teeth."

"Silly boy!" Jia Zhangshi scooped up a shrimp head and waved it in front of Banggeng's eyes. "The shrimp your grandma ate, deep-fried, were so fragrant you could eat three bowls of rice with them! The crayfish heads are the same—crispy shells and tender meat. After frying, sprinkled with salt, they're even more fragrant than the meat!"

She had never eaten crayfish, but she had eaten regular river shrimp. The shrimp heads were so crispy after being deep-fried that they crumbled into crumbs. She remembered that for more than ten years, so she naturally thought that crayfish heads could be eaten in the same way.

Jia Dongxu also came over, picked up a shrimp head and squeezed it: "Honey, Mom is right. Regular shrimp heads are edible, and crayfish heads are probably pretty much the same! Yang Wei is wasting food, we can save money on groceries by picking them up." He had never tasted crayfish before, and thought it was just an "upgraded version" of regular shrimp, so he had no idea about the intricacies involved.

Qin Huairu opened her mouth, wanting to say, "Yang Wei threw it away on purpose, so it's probably inedible," but seeing the light in Jia Zhangshi and Jia Dongxu's eyes, she swallowed her words back. After all, they were the ones who loved to pick things up.

Anyway, they brought it on themselves by getting sick from the food.

"Mom, then hurry up and get it ready, fry it up and let Bang Geng have a taste!" Qin Huairu turned and went back into the house, too lazy to care anymore.

Jia Zhangshi happily carried the shrimp heads to the kitchen: "My dear grandson, wait here, Grandma will fry crispy shrimp heads for you right away!" She hummed a little tune as she poured the shrimp heads into a basin, rubbed them with a spoonful of salt, and then poured in half a pot of oil.

The oil was hot, and with a "sizzle," the shrimp heads went into the pan, instantly releasing a fragrant aroma.

Banggeng, perched by the stove, sniffled and bounced around, shouting, "Grandma, is it ready yet? I'm starving!"

"Almost done, almost done!" Jia Zhangshi used a slotted spoon to turn the shrimp heads over. "You'll get to eat your fill later!"

Yang Wei watched the commotion in the Jia family's yard from his window, a smile playing on his lips. He had known all along that Jia Zhangshi would pick up the shrimp heads; all the heavy metals in crayfish were in the heads. This woman, greedy for small gains, was probably going to suffer a great loss. But what did it have to do with him?

Who told her to scheme against her uncle's inheritance and target him at every turn? Consider this a "return gift" to her.

The shrimp heads in the oil were fried until golden brown. Jia Zhangshi picked one up, blew on it, and popped it into Banggeng's mouth: "Try it, isn't it delicious?"

He took a bite of the shell with a "crunch," the shell hurting his teeth, but the aroma made him swallow it anyway, mumbling, "It smells good... but it's a bit hard..."

"The harder the better!" Jia Zhangshi stuffed another one into his hand. "Eat more, Grandma 'picked' these from Yang Wei!"

Qin Huairu stood at the doorway, watching the shrimp head being chewed with grimaces, and shook her head. This shrimp head was probably going to teach the Jia family a lesson.

Qin Huairu asked with a puzzled look, "Did Yang Wei lose them? He's stupid, he doesn't know these shrimp heads can be fried and eaten, he just let our Jia family benefit for nothing!"

Madam Jia Zhang grinned from ear to ear, "Exactly! That silly boy Yang Wei doesn't even know shrimp heads are edible. He deserves to throw away such a treasure!"

Jia Dongxu chimed in sarcastically, "At this rate, he'll squander his uncle's fortune in no time!"

"It smells amazing! It smells even better than the crayfish Yang Wei made earlier!" Banggeng leaned over the stove, drooling and staring wide-eyed.

Qin Huairu used a slotted spoon to turn the shrimp heads over, and the shells gradually turned golden and crispy.

Soon, the aroma, mingled with the warmth, filled the room, reaching even the neighboring yard. Banggeng, impatient, stamped his feet, yelling, "Is it ready yet? I'm starving!"

"Right away!" Qin Huairu picked one up, blew on it, and handed it to him.

Without even glancing at it, Banggeng opened his mouth and bit down. "Crunch!" The shell hurt his teeth, but the aroma of the caramelized shell mixed with the freshness of the shrimp filled his mouth. Ignoring the pain, he exclaimed, "Delicious! Delicious! Grandma, give me another one!"

Xiao Dang and Xiao Huaihua stared longingly at the pot, swallowing hard.

"You two good-for-nothings, wait until we've had our fill of the shrimp before it's your turn!" Jia Zhangshi scolded, frowning, but her hands didn't stop. She grabbed a shrimp head and shoved it into Jia Dongxu's hand, then crunched one down herself. "Crispy! That idiot Yang Wei, he just threw away such good stuff!"

Xiao Dang and Xiao Huaihua didn't dare to say a word, they could only lick their lips and watch them eat.

Just as they were enjoying their meal, a shout came from outside: "Hey, what are the Jia family eating? It smells so good!"

When Jia Zhangshi turned around, she saw Yi Zhonghai passing by, sniffling and looking in her direction.

"It's shrimp heads! Grandpa, have a taste, they're delicious!" Jia Zhangshi proudly grabbed a golden-fried shrimp head and handed it over.

Yi Zhonghai leaned closer, the aroma filling his nostrils. The shells were so crispy they shone. He took a bite, and "crunch!"—it was indeed incredibly crispy. The freshness of the shrimp, mixed with the smoky aroma of frying, exploded on his tongue. His eyes lit up, and he gave a thumbs up: "Not bad, not bad!" He immediately started thinking: He didn't know how to cook crayfish at home, but frying shrimp heads was easy, right? Money wasn't a problem; he'd go to the pigeon market and buy a few pounds of crayfish to try it out.

After finishing one, he couldn't help but ask, "Mrs. Jia, where did you buy these shrimp heads? From the pigeon market?"

Before the words were even finished, Banggeng blurted out, "That big idiot Yang Wei dropped it! Let's go pick it up and fry it!"

Yi Zhonghai almost choked on the shrimp head in his mouth. It was thrown away by Yang Wei? Could it have been picked up from a garbage dump?

Thinking back to the farce of the Jia family eating excrement, his stomach churned, and he almost vomited.

But he held back, not showing a hint of it on his face, but wondering to himself: Is this shrimp head really clean?

However, with the crispy and delicious taste still lingering on his tongue, he quickly put his doubts aside and his mind was filled with the thought of "buying crayfish and frying shrimp heads." He simply turned around and started walking towards the pigeon market.

The Jia Zhang family didn't notice his strange behavior and were still happily gnawing on shrimp heads.

Seeing that no one was scolding them anymore, Xiao Dang and Xiao Huaihua quickly grabbed one each and ate it until their mouths were full of oil, even licking the crumbs between their fingers clean.

As Qin Huairu watched them wolf down their food, her unease resurfaced. Could the shrimp heads that Yang Wei had deliberately thrown away really be eaten?

But seeing the stick eating with such a happy expression, she swallowed her words back.

Anyway, they brought the food poisoning on themselves, so what does it have to do with her?

Jia Zhangshi's smug feeling of "it's better to share happiness than to enjoy it alone" came back. The shrimp heads were so delicious, yet Yang Wei actually threw them away as garbage. Wasn't he obviously blind?

She had to go over and give him a good taunt, to let this silly boy know how wise it was for her to have picked up his "treasure"!

So, clutching a golden-fried shrimp head, she strode confidently towards Yang Wei's house. Reaching the door, hands on her hips, she shouted, "Yang Wei! That shrimp head of yours was so delicious, how could you throw it away? You're blind!"

Yang Wei was squatting in the yard cleaning turtles when he heard this. He looked up and almost burst out laughing. This woman wasn't satisfied with just picking up shrimp heads to fry and eat, she even brought them here to show off?

He ignored him and continued to pick up the turtle, thinking to himself that he would stew it with bull penis in a couple of days, as it would be very nourishing.

Seeing that he didn't react, Jia Zhangshi became even more smug. She took a bite of the shrimp head, chewing it with a loud crunch: "Yang Wei, you think you're so great, but you're just a fool! Look at this shrimp head, isn't it delicious?"

Yang Wei kept his hands busy, pretending not to hear.

Just as Jia Zhangshi was feeling smug, she turned her head and saw the turtle, half her height, at Yang Wei's feet. Her head buzzed. Such a big turtle, and Yang Wei was actually hoarding it for himself? The shrimp head in her hand suddenly lost its appeal, and she sourly cursed, "Such a big turtle, eating it all by himself, he'll surely bleed from all seven orifices!"

"Mrs. Jia," Yang Wei finally spoke, his tone indifferent, "I'm reminding you, these shrimp heads are poisonous. Your family should go to the hospital as soon as possible."

"Poisonous?" Jia Zhangshi's eyes widened, and she stuffed the shrimp head into her mouth. "Yang Wei, don't be so jealous! Not only did I eat it, but everyone in the family ate it. Do you see what happened to us?" She thought Yang Wei was jealous that they picked up the shrimp heads, and she became even more smug.

Yang Wei didn't bother arguing with her, and glanced at her: "If you don't want your face to get swollen from being slapped again, you'd better leave now."

Remembering that her face was still swollen from being slapped by Yang Wei, Jia Zhangshi shuddered. Then, glancing at the turtle in Yang Wei's hand, she became even more timid. Cursing, she turned and ran away.

Yang Wei watched her retreating figure, a cold smile playing on his lips, and casually tossed out a talisman of bad luck.

……

In the middle of the night, Banggeng's cries suddenly rang out from inside the Jia family's house: "Mom, Grandma, my stomach hurts..."

Qin Huairu hurriedly turned on the light and saw that Bang Geng's face was as white as paper, beads of sweat were streaming down his forehead, and he was curled up in a ball, groaning, "My stomach hurts... I need to go to the toilet..."

"Oh my little darling!" Madam Jia stomped her feet in distress, then turned to scold Qin Huairu, "You jinx! Why aren't you taking Banggeng to the toilet?" Qin Huairu thought to herself, "If it weren't for you insisting on eating those shrimp heads," but dared not argue back, and quickly helped Banggeng run to the toilet.

Before Banggeng even entered the toilet, his pants were soaked with urine—he had diarrhea!

Qin Huairu pinched her nose in disgust, but the penis was in so much pain that it kept kicking its legs. When she went into the toilet, she kept crying out in pain and had diarrhea, making so much noise that it woke up everyone in the house.

Before the stick could even be inserted, Jia Zhangshi clutched her stomach and cried out in pain, "Ouch... my stomach hurts..."

She felt the urge to urinate and grabbed a handful of toilet paper, then bent over and rushed to the toilet. But just like the guy in the story, she couldn't hold it in halfway there and pooped in her pants. She was so embarrassed that she stomped her feet.

"Mother-in-law, what brings you here?" Qin Huairu was cleaning up the mess left by the stick when she saw Jia Zhangshi stumbling over. Just as she was about to ask, Jia Zhangshi rushed into the toilet with a livid face.

Unfortunately, she was too fat, and her foot slipped, causing her to fall flat on her back with a "thud," groaning in pain.

"Qin Huairu...you jinx...come help me up..." Jia Zhangshi lay on the ground, wincing in pain, her earlier arrogance completely gone.
