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

15

He got up from the ground, looking at Yi Zhonghai with a puzzled expression:

"Uncle Yi, what are you doing?"

"I'm just trying to get revenge for you, why are you turning around and pushing me away?"

"Uncle Yi, you can't do this!"

Sha Zhu couldn't understand why Uncle Yi would do this to him.

He fell and his face was swollen and in a lot of pain.

However, he did not hold a grudge against Yi Zhonghai.

In his opinion, Yi Zhonghai was probably in a hurry and didn't know his own strength.

That's why I accidentally pushed him, causing him to fall like this.

After all, he and Yi Zhonghai have been friends for so many years.

Why make a scene over such a trivial matter?

From this perspective, Sha Zhu is a person who knows how to be grateful.

Unfortunately, Yi Zhonghai didn't even glance at him.

Not to mention paying any attention to him.

His mind is now filled with thoughts of Jia Zhangshi.

His sister Zhang has been wronged!

"Sister Zhang, Sister Zhang, are you alright?"

"Seeing you like this hurts me more than if you hit me!"

"Sister Zhang, please at least say something to me, Sister Zhang!"

At his age, Yi Zhonghai's old thoughts suddenly came to life.

Jia Zhangshi squinted at Yi Zhonghai, and the more she looked, the more she felt something was wrong.

Why has this old man suddenly become like a young boy?

She's already so old, why is she having a twilight romance? She's not even thinking straight anymore.

She sneered inwardly, but squeezed out a few tears.

Yi Zhonghai's behavior is as if he's possessed.

Since he's so easy to hook, why shouldn't Jia Zhangshi take advantage of him?

Thinking of what that brat Sha Zhu had done earlier, Jia Zhangshi was so angry she wanted to grind her teeth.

She's lived to be this old, when has she ever been beaten like this before?

She couldn't swallow this insult.

We have to make Sha Zhu suffer a bit.

Now that Yi Zhonghai is confused, we can use him as a tool.

Let him go and teach Sha Zhu a lesson, and vent her anger.

Over the years, Jia Zhangshi has witnessed Qin Huairu's many schemes and tricks.

The woman feigned pitifulness and shed tears, completely fooling Sha Zhu.

Sha Zhu is like a dog; if Qin Huairu tells him to go east, he won't dare to go west.

Jia Zhangshi thought to herself that this time, Yi Zhonghai would probably become her dog as well.

She's no pushover.

Since they've come to us, don't blame her for being ruthless.

Tears welled up in Jia Zhangshi's eyes, and she wiped her face with her sleeve.

"My face hurts terribly! That bastard Zhu, he hit me way too hard!"

"Yi Zhonghai, didn't you just say you only had eyes for me?"

"Fine, then you go settle the score with Sha Zhu for me, do you dare?"

She raised her tear-filled face and stared intently at Yi Zhonghai.

That glance sent a shiver down Yi Zhonghai's spine.

He was still a little hesitant, after all, Sha Zhu was the one he had chosen for his retirement.

We can't afford to break off relations like this.

But Jia Zhangshi's pitiful appearance immediately confused him.

They completely forgot about retirement and other plans.

All he could see was Jia Zhangshi.

Yes, Sister Zhang is right.

He has to listen to Zhang Meimei, otherwise she'll get angry.

Sister Zhang is the most important.

Yi Zhonghai turned around, clenched his fist, and strode towards Sha Zhu.

Sha Zhu, still bewildered, asked, "Uncle Yi, what's going on here?"

"When did you and Jia Zhangshi get together? How come I had no idea?"

Why did you push me? My face still hurts from the fall!

Sha Zhu felt increasingly frustrated and couldn't help but complain to Yi Zhonghai.

When it comes to their relationship, Sha Zhu really has the confidence to say so.

After all, Yi Zhonghai used to say that he treated Sha Zhu like his own son.

As time went on, Sha Zhu began to believe it.

But who knows, those were all just pretty words; no one could see what they were really thinking.

Without saying a word, Yi Zhonghai charged straight at Sha Zhu.

He raised his hand and punched Sha Zhu hard on the forehead.

"Ouch!"

Silly Zhu was caught off guard and took a solid hit to the head.

He screamed in pain and quickly covered his head.

He was completely dazed from the beating.

His eyes widened as he stared intently at Yi Zhonghai.

My head was filled with nothing but pain and a bunch of question marks.

He couldn't understand why Yi Zhonghai would do such a thing.

You should know that Yi Zhonghai had never laid a finger on him before.

They treated him incredibly well.

Sha Zhu was filled with grievances and shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Sir! Why did you suddenly hit me?!"

"What did I do wrong to deserve this beating? You weren't like this before!"

"Sir, you've changed! You're like a completely different person. This is going too far!"

Sha Zhu's head was buzzing, and he kept shouting.

But he didn't fight back.

After all, he's an elder I've respected since I was a child.

He was too foolish to do it.

If anyone else dared to do that, his fists, as big as sandbags, wouldn't be to be trifled with.

Yi Zhonghai remained silent.

One punch landed, followed immediately by another.

"Oh! My head!"

"Ouch, that hurts so much!"

Sha Zhu was in so much pain that he rolled around on the ground.

Yi Zhonghai didn't hold back at all, throwing punch after punch.

They all aimed at Sha Zhu's head.

Yi Zhonghai is getting old and doesn't have much strength in his hands.

But Sha Zhu didn't fight back.

Let him hit.

That's why Sha Zhu was beaten so badly he rolled all over the ground.

Sha Zhu dodged while loudly questioning him.

"Sir, you're treating me like this for the sake of Jia Zhangshi? How can you live with yourself?"

"You used to say you'd raise me like a son, and this is how you treat your own son?"

"Yi Zhonghai, don't go too far! Stop hitting me right now!"

At this moment, Yi Zhonghai's mind was filled with thoughts of Jia Zhangshi.

They didn't care whether Sha Zhu lived or died.

Without even thinking, he replied directly.

"Silly Zhu, don't blame me. You were the one who hit my Zhang sister first. You went too far!"

"If you hurt my Zhang sister, I have to hurt you. I have to stand up for my Zhang sister. Zhang sister is the most important person to me."

"Silly Zhu, even if I don't need you to support me in my old age, I still have to get justice for my sister Zhang!"

Yi Zhonghai clenched his fist and, without saying a word, swung it at Sha Zhu's head.

He threw punch after punch, showing no mercy whatsoever.

Sha Zhu was beaten so badly he rolled around on the ground, wincing in pain.

Finally, he couldn't take it anymore.

"Yi Zhonghai, since you've turned against me, I won't hold back anymore! You started it!"

"Consider those hits you gave me before as repayment. Now, it's my turn to settle accounts with you!"

"I, Sha Zhu, am no pushover! You old codger, prepare to be attacked!"

After saying that, Sha Zhu flipped over and jumped up.

The fist slammed directly into Yi Zhonghai's forehead.

Yi Zhonghai screamed in pain.

"Ouch! My head!"

"Silly Zhu, you're trying to kill me! My old bones can't take this kind of beating!"

Sha Zhu was a notorious ruthless character in the Hongxing Courtyard.

He doesn't care about anyone except Lu Zhenxing.

Yi Zhonghai's skills are really no match for his.

"Come on, you old man!"

"Just wait and see how I deal with you!"

Sha Zhu was truly heartbroken this time.

The ferocity with which Yi Zhonghai hit him just now clearly indicated that he wanted to kill him.

Since Yi Zhonghai was willing to lose his mind for that old woman Jia Zhangshi, he resorted to such a deadly attack.

Why is he still being so polite?

If Yi Zhonghai does the first day of the lunar month, he will do the fifteenth.

Sha Zhu pinned Yi Zhonghai down and gave him a thorough beating.

Yi Zhonghai was beaten and screamed in pain.

But he was no pushover either.

When he couldn't out-strength Sha Zhu, he resorted to underhanded tactics.

Tripping them up, stabbing them in the heart, doing whatever dirty tricks they can.

The two wrestled, neither willing to admit defeat.

The battle was incredibly fierce.

Several pieces of my scalp were torn off.

The clothes were torn into strips.

That fight was incredibly fierce.

The reason the two fought so fiercely wasn't entirely due to old grudges.

It's mainly for the woman in their hearts.

Sha Zhu was thinking about Qin Huairu.

Yi Zhonghai wanted to curry favor with Jia Zhangshi.

Nobody wants to lose face in front of their loved one.

What a pity, the two leading ladies in their hearts...

Qin Huairu and Jia Zhangshi had no interest in paying attention to those two.

At first, the mother and daughter did take a couple of glances.

He just wanted to see how badly Sha Zhu and Yi Zhonghai got beaten up.

Seeing those two guys screaming like pigs being slaughtered, the two of them clapped and cheered.

But after watching for a while, I lost interest.

That's so boring.

It's so cloying.

There's really nothing to see here.

The two of them simply shifted their gaze away from Sha Zhu and Yi Zhonghai.

Everyone stared blankly into the air, their eyes glazed over.

My mind is filled with thoughts of how I'm going to live my life.

Qin Huairu's mind was filled with thoughts of the Jia family's three sons' food, clothing, and daily necessities.

We need to eat, we need to buy clothes, and we need to pay tuition.

The expenses for her three children were overwhelming.

Her meager fixed salary simply isn't enough to support her.

Qin Huairu's brows furrowed into a knot.

Ugh.

This is so worrying!

What Jia Zhangshi was thinking about was how to make the most of the Jia family.

She has been back at Old Jia's house for a few days now since she was released from prison.

These few days are enough time for her to figure out the ropes.

Right now, the Jia family is relying on Qin Huairu's salary to make a living.

Those three children would starve to death if they were separated from Qin Huairu.

Although Jia Zhangshi only cared about her eldest grandson, Banggeng.

But Xiao Dang and Huaihua are also the offspring of her son, Jia Dongxu.

Being alive is always a good thing.

Anyway, it doesn't cost her any money or effort.

To put it bluntly, it's not because of Qin Huairu that we have this problem.

The Jia family will fall apart.

Jia Zhangshi knew exactly what was going on, but she didn't appreciate Qin Huairu's feelings at all.

In her view, it was perfectly natural for Qin Huairu to do these things.

That's because that woman is a mother.

What Jia Zhangshi was thinking about was how to get control of Qin Huairu's salary.

Once the salary is in her hands, won't the Jia family's economic lifeline be under her control?

By then, Jia Zhangshi would be the absolute authority in the Jia family.

The day of becoming king and hegemon is not far away, is it?

It's almost there, just a few steps away.

Unfortunately, Qin Huairu, that jinx, just wouldn't let go.

Her daydream, Jia Zhangshi, could never come true.

Therefore, if Jia Zhangshi still wants to stay in the Jia family.

Being in charge and having the power to command the wind and rain.

We need to find another way to control the Jia family's money.

Ultimately, it all comes down to money.

Where exactly is this money coming from?

Jia Zhangshi's face also fell.

Ugh.

How can this be done?
