Courtyard House: In this life, I have a new home!

14

His heart was filled with the bittersweetness of love.

In fact, Yi Zhonghai himself didn't know what to do.

It all started the day Jia Zhangshi returned to the Hongxing Courtyard from the police station.

She has lost weight, and her hair has grown quite a bit longer.

She looked much more capable and exuded a different kind of charm.

When Yi Zhonghai first saw Jia Zhangshi like this, he was completely stunned.

His eyes were fixed on it, unable to look away.

It felt like falling into a honey pot, so sweet it was almost overwhelming.

Immediately afterwards, a wave of sadness washed over me.

It was both sour and sweet, making him restless.

He himself didn't understand what was going on.

Several days passed before he finally understood.

He has fallen for Jia Zhangshi.

This bittersweet feeling, isn't that love?

Once Yi Zhonghai understood, he became much more cheerful.

He rushed over to find Jia Zhangshi, wanting to explain his feelings to her in person.

He genuinely loved Jia Zhangshi.

To his surprise, he saw a scene that infuriated him as soon as he entered the door.

Sha Zhu actually hit his Jia Zhangshi!

How can this be allowed?!

His Jia Zhangshi, his Zhang sister.

Don't be afraid, I'll protect you!

In a moment of impulsiveness, Yi Zhonghai rushed forward without thinking.

He pushed Sha Zhu aside and quickly helped Jia Zhangshi up.

Then, he poured out his heart to her, telling her everything.

But to everyone's surprise, Jia Zhangshi didn't believe him at all and even hit him!

Yi Zhonghai felt extremely wronged.

He stared pitifully at Jia Zhangshi and said:

"Sister Zhang, I really didn't lie to you."

"I've always been sincere with you, how could you treat me like this?"

"I feel bad when you hit or pinch me, but I don't blame you at all."

After saying that, Yi Zhonghai looked at her with deep affection and added:

"I know you don't understand me, Sister Zhang. You'll understand once you know how sincere I am."

Jia Zhangshi stood there, stunned, her eyes fixed on Yi Zhonghai.

The words the man in front of her spoke were like a hammer, striking her heart again and again.

She moved her mouth for a long time before finally managing to squeeze out a few words.

"What...what did you just say?"

"Yi Zhonghai, are you serious?"

"You...you really like me?"

Her husband left too early.

In all these years, no man has ever said anything like that to her.

This sudden turn of events left her feeling utterly distraught.

But upon further reflection, Jia Zhangshi's expression changed drastically.

If someone else had said that, she might have been moved.

Is it possible to get to Zhonghai?

Who is that?

Think about what this bastard has done.

Putting everything else aside, let's just talk about those old arguments the two of them had.

What she hated most was that Yi Zhonghai made her have his child.

She wasn't pregnant, so she wouldn't give her a single penny.

I let her have her way so many times for nothing.

Even now, thinking about it makes Jia Zhangshi's teeth itch.

She went to Yi Zhonghai to demand an explanation.

That bastard even threatened her.

For this reason alone, she will never have a good impression of Yi Zhonghai in her life.

Jia Zhangshi stared at Yi Zhonghai, her eyes filled with ruthlessness.

then.

"Snapped!"

He slapped her across the face.

It landed squarely on Yi Zhonghai's face.

Yi Zhonghai screamed in pain.

"what!"

But Jia Zhangshi didn't stop.

He lunged forward, spreading all ten fingers.

Her long fingernails scratched at Yi Zhonghai's face.

Once. Twice. Three times.

Several bloody marks immediately appeared on his face.

Yi Zhonghai covered his face and shouted incoherently.

"It hurts so much! My face!"

"Sister Zhang, you're too ruthless! How could you do this!"

"Sister Zhang, please stop hitting me! Have mercy on me! Help!"

Looking at his cowardly appearance, Jia Zhangshi sneered.

He starts cursing as soon as he opens his mouth.

"Yi Zhonghai, you're actually quite a convincing actor!"

"You think I'd fall for your tricks?"

"Let me tell you, no matter what tricks you try, I'm not falling for it!"

"You dare to scheme against me? I'll show you just how powerful my Nine Yin White Bone Claw is!"

After saying that, Jia Zhangshi pounced on her again.

Hit. Scratch. Bite.

Do whatever it takes, no matter how ruthless.

In short, we can't let Yi Zhonghai have an easy time.

Jia Zhangshi didn't believe a single word from Yi Zhonghai.

That old man is full of bad ideas.

If she believed him, she'd be out of her mind.

She didn't want to fall into the hands of this old fox.

Without stopping, he continued to strike Yi Zhonghai.

But as the fight went on, Jia Zhangshi began to have doubts.

Yi Zhonghai didn't fight back at all?

She scratched him like this.

His face was covered in blood streaks, and his arms were covered in bruises.

She pulled out a large clump of hair from his head.

He's already in such a miserable state, how can you still let her beat and scold him?

Not only did he remain silent and not fight back, but he also stared at her with that strange look in his eyes.

If I had to describe it, it would be sticky and gooey, like looking at a lover.

Jia Zhangshi got goosebumps all over her body.

But I couldn't help but ponder it in my heart.

What exactly happened with Yi Zhonghai?

Could it be that he is possessed by a ghost?

The more she thought about it, the more convinced she was that she had probably offended something dirty.

Otherwise, why would they put on such a disgusting face?

Since that's the case, then don't blame her for being ruthless.

"Clap clap clap!"

Jia Zhangshi became even more ruthless.

He was still muttering curses under his breath.

"You shameless old man, who are you trying to fool with this nonsense?"

"You think I'd believe you? Dream on."

"I'm going to teach you a lesson today!"

Yi Zhonghai was badly beaten.

He hid while crying out for justice.

"No, Sister Zhang, I genuinely like you."

"If you don't believe me, I'll go back right now and divorce that old hag, and marry you properly. From now on, we'll be a real husband and wife."

Jia Zhangshi spat at him.

"Pah! Would I ever want an old geezer like you?"

Keep dreaming!

When Yi Zhonghai heard her refusal, his heart shattered.

But he still stubbornly insisted on confessing his feelings.

"It's alright, Sister Zhang. Although I'm heartbroken, I can handle it."

"It's okay if you don't want to marry me, I still cherish you. Even if we can't be husband and wife, we can still be a pair of lovers in the wild."

Upon hearing this, Jia Zhangshi's mind raced.

It exploded right then and there.

He kicked Yi Zhonghai in the stomach.

They kicked him so hard he fell flat on his face, looking quite disheveled.

Jia Zhangshi started cursing loudly.

"You bastard, Yi Zhonghai, so you want me to be your used slut, your mistress?"

"Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror? Do you even deserve it? Get lost and die!"

"I'm going to teach you a lesson today, so you won't push your luck!"

No sooner had she finished speaking than Jia Zhangshi launched into a tirade against Yi Zhonghai.

They rained blows on him with fists and feet.

Yi Zhonghai screamed in pain, his face contorted in agony.

He was beaten so badly it was a truly pitiful sight.

The residents watching nearby were visibly agitated.

They covered their faces, but couldn't help peeking through their fingers.

I felt a mix of fear and excitement; it was a really strange feeling.

Sha Zhu couldn't take it anymore.

Yi Zhonghai has always treated him well.

I've helped him a lot.

He's a simpleton who remembers kindness; how could he pretend not to see it at a time like this?

Without thinking twice, he rushed forward.

He shielded Yi Zhonghai behind him and casually pushed Jia Zhangshi aside.

He quickly turned to ask, "Uncle Yi, are you alright?"

Yi Zhonghai was panting heavily, his voice weak: "It's nothing, it's alright."

Sha Zhu breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

He turned and glared at Jia Zhangshi, his eyes changing: "You old hag, how dare you treat my Uncle Yi so cruelly? Don't you have any manners at all?"

"I, Shazhu, have received a lot of kindness from Uncle Yi over the years, and it's time to repay it."

"I'm going to teach you a lesson you won't forget today!"

The words had barely left his mouth.

Yi Zhonghai hadn't even had a chance to reach out and pull the person away.

Sha Zhu had already pounced on Jia Zhangshi.

His fists were clenched like iron hammers.

He exudes a fierce aura, which is frightening to look at.

"Snapped!"

Jia Zhangshi took a solid punch to the face.

Her eyes immediately welled up with tears.

She has naturally fair skin and big eyes.

Her eyes were brimming with tears, making her look especially pitiful.

Although Jia Zhangshi was of a certain age.

But she looks more alluring than a woman in her thirties.

Jia Zhangshi, after losing weight, is just so charming.

It's no wonder Yi Zhonghai was dumbfounded.

Even Sha Zhu was stunned.

He stared at Jia Zhangshi in front of him, hardly believing his eyes.

How come you're like a completely different person after going to prison?

Has it become so pleasing to the eye?

Sha Zhu has always liked good-looking things.

Seeing Jia Zhangshi like this, his heart inexplicably stirred.

But he glanced back at Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu stood there quietly, gentle and kind.

That scent was like a bright red rose blooming in the wind and rain.

So beautiful you can't take your eyes off her.

Compared to Jia Zhangshi, Qin Huairu...

She's much younger and prettier then.

Sha Zhu immediately had a plan in mind.

Although Jia Zhangshi's appearance was more pleasing to the eye than before, she was still far inferior to Qin Huairu.

Sha Zhu weighed the options in his mind and decided that he should just continue to be a good dog and stay by Sister Qin's side.

As for Jia Zhangshi, who cares?

Besides, given her age, she's only so-so as a companion to Yi Zhonghai, but what kind of situation would it be if she were to get together with that silly Zhu?

Once Sha Zhu thought about it, he completely forgot about Jia Zhangshi.

He raised his fist and was about to pounce again.

He was muttering curses under his breath:

"You old bastard, you dare touch my uncle? I, Sha Zhu, will never forgive you!"

"Jia Zhangshi, you stop right there!"

At this moment, Yi Zhonghai finally came to his senses.

After taking that blow, he finally managed to utter a shout.

"Stop, you idiot! Don't touch my Zhang sister!"

Looking into Jia Zhangshi's red and swollen eyes, Yi Zhonghai felt a sharp pain in his heart, as if it were being cut by a knife.

His sister Zhang, how much injustice she suffered!

Sister Zhang, hang in there.

Brother Yi Zhonghai is here to protect you!

Yi Zhonghai rushed forward and shoved Sha Zhu away forcefully.

Then, she carefully helped Jia Zhangshi up, calling out to her with heartache:

"Sister Zhang! Sister Zhang! You're finally alright, your brother's here!"

"My dear sister!"

Sha Zhu was caught off guard and was pushed so hard that he fell flat on his face.

He twisted his ankle and fell face-first to the ground.

He screamed in pain:

"Oh my god! My face!"

"It hurts so much!"
