The Life of a Son-in-Law in a Courtyard House

Yang Dalin said, "Who knows?"

We're not really in the yard during the day. Brother Da Mao often goes to the countryside to show movies, Brother Zhu works in the canteen during the day, and I work during the day and only come back at night.

I haven't had much contact with her, so who knows who she's offended?

I guess the elderly folks who frequent the courtyard might know.

Sha Zhu nodded: "Indeed, the old women in the courtyard like to gossip about this and that."

They might know.

I'll ask my wife later and see if she's heard anything about it.

Yang Dalin stopped Sha Zhu's arm: "Brother Zhu, what does your sister-in-law know since she just arrived? Even if she does know, don't let her get involved in this."

There might be something going on here.

Why do we need to worry about so many things?

Seeing Sha Zhu showing off that he had a wife, Xu Damao said, "That's right, who wouldn't want to avoid trouble? Why would anyone try to climb up the ladder?"

Sha Zhu thought it made sense and didn't bother to respond to Xu Damao's reply: "That's true. Don't worry, I'll just ask my wife. I won't get involved. It's none of our business. Let's go home and sleep."

I was startled awake as soon as I got into bed.

They're gone, they're gone.

After saying that, Sha Zhu went back first.

Xu Damao followed, and Yang Dalin accompanied Aunt Qi home.

When they got home, Aunt Qi asked Yang Dalin, "Dalin, can you guess who it is?"

Yang Dalin looked directly into Aunt Qi's eyes and said, "I can't think of anything. I'm not home much during the day."

I wonder who she offended.

Yang Dalin didn't tell Aunt Qi the whole story; he just wanted to keep it to himself.

She said she would worry Aunt Qi again, which meant that she hadn't heard Qin Huairu talking about her own home while helping Qi Xiaoning to the toilet yesterday.

Let me be a lone hero protecting the Qi family.

A secret is no longer a secret once enough people know it.

Yang Dalin also told Aunt Qi to be careful when going to the toilet at night recently, and if necessary, to go with someone or ask him to come along.

Aunt Qi agreed and went back to her room to sleep.

Upon entering the room, Qi Xiaoning, who was still awake, curiously inquired about what had happened.

Qi Yulan recounted what had happened, telling the two of them to be careful when going to the toilet at night and to try to call her along, or to ask Yang Dalin to come along as well.

Although this "culprit" didn't target anyone else but only Qin Huairu, many women are still quite scared, wondering what would happen if they were accidentally injured.

Just like the pebbles scattered today, if someone goes in before Qin Huairu comes out, or if someone comes out before Qin Huairu, they will be unlucky and suffer for Qin Huairu.

Therefore, tonight, people in the nearby courtyards are reminding the women in their families, especially when going out at night, to be careful.

It's best to bring a flashlight and go in a group.

If you really can't find a companion, then your own husbands can accompany you to the toilet door.

Yang Dalin had no idea that his actions had brought him a whole host of protectors.

For many days afterward, whenever the woman went to the toilet at night, a man from the family would follow her.

……

……

Fortunately, there were doctors on duty at the nearby Hongxing Hospital at night, and one of them took a look at Qin Huairu.

Wow, there are dozens of bleeding spots on my face.

However, none of them were serious, and the wounds were not deep. The doctor quickly helped clean the wounds.

Then I disinfected it with disinfectant, but bandaging this small wound wasn't easy.

To make things easier, the doctors ended up covering her head completely, except for her mouth and eyes, like a mummy, and even her nose wasn't spared. Fortunately, they left her two vents.

Qin Huairu wasn't given any anesthesia, and treating her wound was quite painful; she even cried from the pain.

However, the doctor also told her not to cry, otherwise it would be difficult to bandage the wound.

So Qin Huairu had to endure the pain and hold back her tears.

After the bandaging was finally finished, Qin Huairu asked the doctor, "Doctor, is my condition serious?"

The doctor said, "It's nothing serious. At most, it will leave a small scar, but it won't affect your eating. Don't worry."

The doctor spoke casually, but to Qin Huairu, it was like a bolt from the blue.

Isn't this serious enough? Dozens of small scars on my face will disfigure me.

"This isn't serious enough?" Qin Huairu thought, her anger rising instantly, filled with intense hatred.

What she was most proud of was her beauty. Although she had lost a few teeth in the past, which had already ruined the beauty of her face, now she was completely disfigured.

How could she not hate?

Still unwilling to give up, Qin Huairu asked, "Doctor, do you have any ointments or creams that can remove scars? I'd like to use them once the scabs have formed."

Nobody wants so many scars on their face!

The doctor thought to himself, "What's wrong with this woman? She's starving, who cares about scars? Besides, you're married, not some unmarried virgin."

Why bother with such a beauty standard? I wonder how many soldiers or police officers these days are proud of having scars.

Even if the hospital has scar removal cream, it might be okay if there's only one scar. But with so many small cuts and irregularly shaped sharp pebbles, the cream will still leave marks on your face. Dozens of marks will still affect your appearance, so it's better not to use it at all.

The doctor thinks it's good to save your family some money. Life isn't easy these days, so don't waste money.

So the doctor told Qin Huairu directly, "There is ointment, but the effect won't be very good. Also, you have too many wounds. Even if you apply ointment, there will still be marks left. One wound might have a small mark, which is not noticeable, but dozens of wounds will leave marks. It's better not to apply it, otherwise it would be a waste."

Qin Huairu really didn't want to be disfigured. She hoped that the ointment would work well and leave no scars.

Qin Huairu looked at her husband pitifully; Jia Dongxu's life was not easy these days.

Qin Huairu has been to the hospital for the third time in a short period of time. Although she is a worker's family member and half of the expenses are reimbursed, this expense still makes Jia Dongxu feel the pinch.

Seeing Qin Huairu's condition, Jia Dongxu had no choice but to say, "Huairu, let's not rush. Let's wait until the wound has scabbed over."

"If this doesn't work, I'll try to find out if I can buy a good scar-removing cream."

Jia Dongxu could only resort to stalling tactics.

After all, this hospital mainly uses Western medicine methods, and nowadays hospitals don't pay much attention to cosmetic medicine. Perhaps traditional Chinese medicine practitioners outside have better solutions.

Qin Huairu was very clever and immediately figured out Jia Dongxu's plan. Just like last time when she said she wanted to get her teeth fixed, Jia Dongxu said the same thing: wait until the family's financial situation was better.

Qin Huairu's hatred intensified; she had already guessed who the murderer was.

These injuries I've sustained have all been related to the Qi family; it must be.

Since you've put me at risk of disfigurement, then don't blame me.

At this moment, the police and Yi Zhonghai also arrived.

Seeing that Qin Huairu had cleaned and bandaged her wounds, he went to the ward to ask her for clues.

Upon seeing the police, Qin Huairu immediately said, "Officer, I suspect the Qi family in the front yard, especially Yang Dalin."

Go and catch him quickly.
