Sha Zhu's Rebirth in the Courtyard: Starting with Hitting Someone in the Head

Chapter 118 A Good Show

For the past few nights, He Yuzhu had been using his spatial perception to keep an eye on the passageway. He knew that Widow Qin had her eye on Liu Guangtian. This woman had been able to thrive in the courtyard in her previous life because she could seize opportunities even in dire straits.

It was inconvenient to get things done in the yard. Liu Guangtian was at work during the day, and his family was all gathered together at night. The only chance the two of them had to meet was when he got up to use the toilet in the middle of the night.

I don't know what's wrong with Liu Guangtian lately. He has to get up to go to the toilet every night. I guess Li Huaide has plenty of supplies, and the steel mill canteen is full of oily food. He's having stomach problems from eating too much of it.

He'd been keeping watch for several nights, but there was still no movement from Widow Qin's side. No rush, what's meant to happen will happen eventually.

A little after one o'clock in the morning on the fourth day, Liu Guangtian, slipping on his shoes, came out of the backyard and walked through the middle courtyard. A little while later, Qin Huairu also came out of the west wing, her steps very light, and followed behind him.

He Yuzhu got out of bed, climbed over the outer wall of the courtyard, and landed in the shadows at the base of the alley wall. The moon was very bright tonight; even the heavens were on his side.

Qin Huairu intercepted Liu Guangtian at the entrance of the men's restroom.

The moonlight shone on her face, making her oval face glow white. She was only a step away from Liu Guangtian, and she had a faint scent about her.

"Guangtian, my family is really starving. Can you lend me a few dollars? I'll pay you back once I've calmed down."

Liu Guangtian had just come out of the restroom, his belt not yet fastened, when Qin Huairu blocked him at the door, and he froze. "Sister Qin, I... I only have five yuan in my pocket." He pulled out a few crumpled bills from his pocket, his hand trembling slightly.

"Guangtian, you're so good to your sister." Qin Huairu tucked the money into her bosom, took a small step forward, looked up at him, her collar slightly open. "I know you like to peek at me." Her voice was soft, like a feather brushing against her ear.

Liu Guangtian lowered his head, the moonlight illuminating his flushed face clearly. Qin Huairu reached out and grasped his hand, pressing it against her chest. Through the thin fabric of her clothes, she could feel his heartbeat, rapid and strong, pounding in his palm. Liu Guangtian's fingers instinctively curled slightly, but the soft touch on his palm made his breathing quicken. His fingers slowly opened, then tightened again.

"Sister Qin, I..."

"Don't talk." Qin Huairu gently rubbed his hand around her chest. Liu Guangtian's Adam's apple bobbed, his breathing grew heavier, and his other hand involuntarily rose to support her waist, where she felt an astonishingly soft warmth.

His mind went blank, his fingers clumsily groping up and down her waist, afraid to use force yet unwilling to let go. It was the first time he had ever touched a woman, his heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of his throat, and his crotch was already painfully hard.

Qin Huairu felt his body against hers and a smile appeared on her lips. Instead, she wrapped one arm around his waist and pulled him close, while the other hand gently rested on his shoulder, her fingertips slowly tracing circles on the back of his neck.

"Guangtian, I'll remember how good you are to me. Can you lend me some money next time I get paid?"

Liu Guangtian made a muffled swallowing sound. He lowered his head, his breath hot against her face. Qin Huairu turned her head slightly, her lips brushing lightly against his earlobe. Liu Guangtian trembled, his crotch almost bursting, and he pinched his buttocks with his fingers.

He Yuzhu knew his chance had come. With a thought, four embroidery needles appeared out of thin air on their Yifeng and Fengchi acupoints. He had mastered this technique, controlling the pressure perfectly. Qin Huairu collapsed first, and Liu Guangtian followed, pressing down on her body, the two still tightly embracing each other.

Then he took two pills the size of soybeans from the bottle of medicine in his spatial storage and used his spatial abilities to send them directly into the stomachs of the two people. He had personally experienced this medicine before; last time, Xiao'e had given him twice the amount, which almost caused his death.

This time, he gave them just the right amount, enough to keep them dazed for a while, so they wouldn't be working so hard in front of everyone.

After waiting for a while, Qin Huairu's face flushed, her eyelashes trembled, and she mumbled "Brother Qin Gang." Liu Guangtian's breathing also gradually became rapid, and his fingers unconsciously gripped Qin Huairu's chest while he was unconscious.

The drug began to take effect. Qin Huairu opened her eyes groggily, everything before her was blurry, and she only felt a surge of heat churning within her body. Her mouth instinctively moved upwards, touching Liu Guangtian's warm face, and she pressed her lips against his as if drawn by a magnet.

Even in his dazed state, Liu Guangtian felt that warmth, and his arm unconsciously wrapped around her waist, his hand unconsciously tightening.

The two women entangled against the wall. Qin Huairu's trousers were pulled down, revealing a large expanse of her white skin. Liu Guangtian's belt hung loosely on his legs. They rolled around in the moonlight, their breathing rapid and suppressed, muffled moans escaping their throats.

He Yuzhu turned around, collected a few pebbles from his spatial storage, and used his mind to smash them at the window of the outermost house in the back row.

The window in Yan Bugui's house in the west wing was also broken. Someone in the back room started cursing: "Who is it! Breaking someone's window in the middle of the night!" The door creaked open and a middle-aged man wearing a jacket came out looking for someone.

"Who opened the gate? Did someone just go out?"

Yan Bugui also came out wearing a jacket, holding a flashlight in his hand. He shone it towards the courtyard gate, then waved it a couple of times at the Xu family's window. Just like his family, several panes of glass in the window were smashed.

Yang Ruihua also came out. "Old Yan, why don't you go out and take a look?"

The group walked to the courtyard gate, and when the beam of their flashlights swept towards the public toilet, they all stopped immediately. Under the moonlight, Liu Guangtian and Qin Huairu were entangled together against the wall, neither of them fully conscious, and muffled sobs were still coming from their throats.

"This...isn't this Liu's second son?" Old Xu took a step back.

"And there's the broken...and Jia's daughter-in-law!" Yan Bugui said, holding up a flashlight.

He Yuzhu opened the gate to the courtyard and came out, feigning an expression as if he had just been woken up. "What's wrong? What's all the noise about in the middle of the night?"

Old Xu grabbed his sleeve and pointed to the two people by the wall, "Section Chief He, look! It's Liu's second son and Jia Dongxu's wife!"

He Yuzhu followed the beam of light and frowned. He took two steps forward, pretended to look at it, and then turned to Old Xu and said, "Why aren't you going to call Liu Haizhong?"

Someone ran to the backyard and knocked on Liu Haizhong's door. Liu Haizhong was half asleep and was startled by the knocking. Xiao Wang also woke up and ran over from the back annex, wearing a coat. Xu Damao also came out, and the group followed in their slippers as they ran out of the yard.

Liu Haizhong ran to the alley entrance and saw the two people under the wall. He was stunned, as if struck by lightning.

Liu Guangtian had just finished and regained consciousness when he found himself disheveled, with Qin Huairu lying beneath him in similarly disheveled state. His mind was blank; he vaguely remembered what had just happened, only seeing beams of flashlight light all around him, people standing at the alley entrance, and his father standing right in front of him with a murderous expression.

Liu Guangtian jolted awake, completely sobering up. He looked down, pulled up his pants, and stood up, his face drained of color.

"Dad! I don't know what happened! I ran into her in the bathroom, and she asked to borrow money, so I... Dad! I really don't know what happened!"

Liu Haizhong grabbed his son by the collar with one hand and slapped him twice. Liu Guangtian, after receiving the two slaps, immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.

Liu Haizhong pulled out a small notebook, his hand trembling violently. He scribbled several times with the nib of his pen before finally managing to write a large, crooked character: "Get lost." He held the notebook up to Liu Guangtian and wrote again: "Without you." The pen tip tore through the paper.

Qin Huairu was fully awake. She quickly dressed and stood up, supporting herself against the brick wall. Her legs were still weak, and she huddled against the wall, not daring to look up.

Liu Haizhong stuffed the notebook into his pocket, his face ashen, and turned to walk back. Wang Caifeng stood in the crowd, tears streaming down her face. She leaned against the wall, looked at her second brother kneeling on the ground, her lips trembling, unable to utter a single word.

Liu Haizhong walked to the courtyard gate, stood there for a moment, and went inside without turning around.

Standing at the alley entrance, Xiao Wang waved to the onlookers: "Everyone disperse! Don't spread this around. I'll handle it tomorrow!"

The onlookers dispersed. Yang Ruihua muttered under his breath, "What a mess." Old Li and Tian Xinghua turned and went into the courtyard.

Xiao Wang walked to the base of the wall, pulled Liu Guangtian up, and said in a low voice, "You stay at my place tonight, don't go back and upset your father. We'll talk about it tomorrow when he's calmed down."

Liu Guangtian wiped his nose, lowered his head, and followed Xiao Wang into the courtyard.

Qin Huairu stepped out from under the wall, head down, and hurried towards the courtyard gate. Xiao Wang called after her, his tone curt: "Qin Huairu, go back and reflect on your actions. We'll talk about this tomorrow."

Qin Huairu didn't look up, quickly walked towards the courtyard gate, went into the west wing, and closed the door.

He Yuzhu went home, brewed a pot of Longjing tea, sat down in his armchair, and slowly took a sip. Meanwhile, Jia Zhangshi was sleeping like a log, completely oblivious to this good show—a miscalculation indeed.

In his anger, Liu Haizhong wanted to kick his son out, but he only had two sons left. If he kicked out his second son, who would take care of him in his old age? Wang Caifeng would definitely try to persuade him tomorrow, and Qin Huairu wouldn't give up so easily.

Also, Xiao Wang will take Liu Guangtian back tonight, and tomorrow he will definitely go to Liu's house to persuade him. This is the courtyard house he manages, and he has to settle this matter.

This marriage will happen sooner or later. He picked up his teacup, blew away the foam, and thought, "This play is quite good."
