Courtyard House: The Frog Boy Brings Back a Genetic Potion at the Start

He Yushui spoke with a stiff neck and a forceful tone, as if questioning the Jia family was a grave sin.

Yu Haitang, however, seemed to have heard some absurd joke, and a mocking smile appeared on her lips: "He Yushui, you are really stupid enough."

On the surface, you're speaking up for the Jia family, but in reality, you're pushing them into a fire pit—you're quite something."

Hao Jianguo nodded slightly to the side.

He hadn't expected Yu Haitang to grasp the key point so quickly.

This girl's mind works much faster than most people's.

"What nonsense are you spouting!"

He Yushui immediately became anxious, "Stop trying to sow discord! How could Aunt Jia and the others be distant with me? Your tricks won't work on me!"

As she spoke, she patted her chest forcefully, looking confident and assured.

Yu Haitang's words just now stunned Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu for a moment.

The two exchanged a glance, neither able to decipher the meaning behind it.

Only after He Yushui refuted them did they breathe a sigh of relief, seemingly understanding—it seemed that He Yushui wasn't so confused after all.

Yu Haitang shook her head helplessly: "Your name is really fitting; your brain must be full of rainwater, right? Anyone with eyes can see that there's something fishy going on behind Jia Zhangshi's stubborn refusal to tell the reason."

These words drew nods of agreement from many people around.

Indeed, no matter how eloquently the story of the rain unfolds, the fact that the Jia family dares not reveal the true reason is the biggest flaw in their argument.

"You're too young—"

"What's the rush?"

Yu Haitang raised her hand to interrupt He Yushui, "Anyone can talk big, why don't you ask Jia Zhangshi next to you if she dares to lay out the reasons?"

"You want to seek justice for the Jia family? Simple."

As long as they tell the whole story, that's fine.

But this matter struck at Jia Zhangshi's Achilles' heel—she dared not speak of it, nor could she speak of it.

He Yushui, haven't you figured it out yet? The justice you seek is tantamount to driving Jia Zhangshi down a dead end.

"It's not that we don't want to give it to her, it's that she simply can't handle it."

These words were delivered in a roundabout way, and He Yushui and the people around her were stunned for a moment before they gradually came to their senses.

"Oh, Madam Jia, we'd be happy to uphold justice for you!"

Xu Damao seized the opportunity and spoke up, raising his voice high, "So tell me, what kind of fair justice do you want?"

His eyes darted around, then he glanced at Sha Zhu, whose face was dark with anger, and his tone was drawn out in a high-pitched voice: "By the way, Sha Zhu, your ex-wife is in such a state, don't you feel any pity for her? Even a day of marriage should have been a hundred days of kindness, is your heart made of stone?"

A burst of laughter immediately erupted from all around.

If it comes to insulting people in the courtyard, Xu Damao is definitely number one.

I'll tear that lousy mouth of yours apart!

Sha Zhu flew into a rage, rolled up his sleeves, and was about to pounce on him.

But as soon as he took a step, he was firmly grabbed by the arm by the deaf old lady next to him.

"Don't act impulsively, lest you fall into this kid's trap."

In my opinion, he's deliberately trying to provoke you, waiting to see you lose your temper.

The old lady beside him whispered a reminder, her gaze piercing Xu Damao like a knife.

This time, she was right – Xu Damao did indeed have this intention.

Unfortunately, his scheme was exposed by the shrewd old man as soon as it began.

Xu Damao, feeling rebuffed, shrugged and swallowed back the words he was about to say.

"He Yushui! What are you up to? When your brother and I were dating, you were always causing trouble; now you're pretending to be all compassionate and mournful—tell me, what exactly are you planning?"

Jia Zhangshi's angry curses rang out, and even though Xu Damao wanted to speak, he couldn't get a word in edgewise.

The expressions of everyone present became subtle, their gazes shifting back and forth between the former sister-in-law and aunt.

The feud between the former sister-in-law and the former sister-in-law is truly a good show.

"I...I didn't, Sister Qin, please believe me! I really just wanted to lend a hand, I had no other intentions!"

He Yushui hurriedly defended herself, her words entirely directed at Qin Huairu.

In her heart, Qin Huairu was the "sister-in-law" she recognized; if it weren't for Qin Huairu being involved this time, she would never have wanted to get involved with the Jia family.

As for that Jia Zhangshi...

Hmph! She's just a shrew!

He Yushui spat inwardly; just seeing that face made her stomach churn.

The thought that the old woman had almost become his sister-in-law made him feel even more disgusted, as if he had swallowed a fly.

Embarrassingly, after hearing her eager confession, Qin Huairu remained silent, only taking two steps back warily.

He Yushui felt a chill in her heart: It's over. Her good intentions have backfired, and she has completely offended people.

A surge of suppressed anger rushed to her head—she naturally dared not vent her anger on Qin Huairu, so Yu Haitang, who was standing to the side, became the best punching bag in her eyes.

In terms of physique, He Yushui felt she was no less than her opponent; besides, this courtyard was her territory, so it was somewhat like her home ground.

Moreover, her brother, Sha Zhu, was standing nearby—with that confidence, she was certain that Hao Jianguo wouldn't dare to lay a hand on a woman.

"ah--!"

He Yushui suddenly let out a sharp shriek.

Under the astonished gazes of her neighbors, she pounced on Yu Haitang like a leopard about to pounce, baring her teeth and claws as if to tear her apart.

In her opinion, Yu Haitang's thin and frail appearance couldn't possibly withstand her torment—although she seemed to have forgotten that she herself was just a thin and small person.

Seeing Yu Haitang meant certain defeat, and Yu Li, standing next to Hao Jianguo, immediately became anxious and subconsciously wanted to ask her husband to intervene.

But he held back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

If Hao Jianguo were to resort to violence against He Yushui, it would inevitably become a target of gossip.

Although she was worried about her sister, she did not want to put her husband in a difficult position.

Hao Jianguo noticed her struggle, but just smiled faintly, shook his head and whispered, "Don't worry, your little sister is very capable, she won't suffer any losses."

His tone was full of certainty.

Yu Li was taken aback: How could she not know her sister's personality? In the past, she never lost a verbal battle, but it was all talk and no action.

If they really start fighting...

But Hao Jianguo was always right, so she could only suppress her anxiety and secretly hope that he wouldn't be wrong this time either.

Hao Jianguo glanced at He Yushui calmly, a chilling indifference rising in his heart.

This foolish woman dared to lay a hand on his wife's sister; she's utterly courting death. It's time she learned her lesson.

Without a sound, a faintly glowing [Kung Fu Talisman] was already in Hao Jianguo's palm, and in an instant it turned into an invisible wisp of smoke, quietly disappearing into Haitang's shoulder.

Yu Haitang suddenly shivered. Almost at the same time, Hao Jianguo's calm voice reached her ears: "Haitang, since she has no shame, then slap her face until it's swollen."

For some reason, the moment Yu Haitang heard these words, a surge of heat seemed to run through her body, and strength suddenly filled her limbs.

How could she show weakness in front of her brother-in-law? She immediately nodded and replied, "Don't worry, brother-in-law, watch me."

At this moment, He Yushui rushed over. She had heard every word Hao Jianguo and the other man whispering, and her anger immediately surged to the top of her head—they dared to talk while they were about to die, it was as if they didn't exist!

"Want to hit me? I'll tear yours apart first..."

He Yushui screamed with a distorted expression, but before she could finish speaking or raise her hand, a crisp slap suddenly rang out.

"Snapped!"

The onlookers were stunned, only to see Yu Haitang actually slap He Yushui hard across the face.

Not to mention others, even Yu Haitang herself was somewhat stunned.

She barely realized how the slap had been delivered; she only felt that the time had come to strike, and He Yushui's face came right in front of her.

It's unbelievably coincidental!

"Could it be that He Yushui is someone who only feels good when he gets beaten up? Hmph, since you have this fetish, I'll grant your wish."

Yu Haitang thought to herself.

At first, she was indeed a little scared when she saw He Yushui's fierce appearance, but after that slap, all her courage returned.

She took a step forward, and He Yushui was about to struggle when—

"Snapped!"

Another slap landed on his left cheek.

Then the third, the fourth...

The people around were stunned.

"What's going on here? Why isn't He Yushui dodging or moving?"

Yan Jiecheng couldn't help but mutter to himself.

From their perspective, Yu Haitang stood almost motionless, while He Yushui repeatedly brought her face close to the other's palm, creating a scene so bizarre it sent chills down one's spine.

"I've heard that some people have some shady hobbies. Could He Yushui also have this kind of taste? Look at the way she's acting, she seems to be enjoying it."

Xu Damao stroked his chin and replied in a low voice.

In his opinion, Sha Zhu's family was indeed abnormal—the older brother married Jia Zhangshi, and the younger sister was someone who willingly took beatings.

Thinking about this, Xu Damao even felt a little itchy to go up and "help".

He Yushui.

He had no idea that He Yushui was almost in tears when she heard these words.

What does "enjoyment" even mean? She clearly couldn't escape it or break free!

Xu Damao was clearly making sarcastic remarks to humiliate her on purpose.

He Yushui couldn't care less about anything else now; all she wanted was to escape as quickly as possible and get away from Yu Haitang's slaps.

Unfortunately, this is already a pipe dream for her.

"Stop it right now!"

Sha Zhu's roar finally exploded.

Sha Zhu initially had no intention of doing it himself.

In his eyes, his younger sister was quite capable and would be more than capable of dealing with Yu Haitang. He thought it would be a good opportunity to give Hao Jianguo's family a good thrashing.

He himself was happy to stand aside and watch the show.

But no matter how brilliant his plan was, it couldn't withstand the absurdity of reality.

Sha Zhu never expected things to turn out this way—even if his sister was no match for Haitang, it would still be better than the current situation.

At this moment, he couldn't help but have similar thoughts to Xu Damao.

Seeing that things were not going well, Sha Zhu hurriedly tried to step forward to stop her. He was afraid that if he was a step slower, his sister would suffer even more.

Before he could even take a step, the onlookers around him became unhappy and started shouting at him.

Xu Damao was the first to yell, "Shazhu, have you no shame? You have the nerve to interfere in a women's fight?"

Although Xu Damao still felt uneasy when he saw Sha Zhu's face, the thought that he was supporting Hao Jianguo made him stand up straighter.

Seeing Xu Damao's appearance, Sha Zhu felt a surge of anger and was about to deal with the troublemaker when He Daqing rushed over.

Upon seeing his daughter being slapped, He Daqing glared angrily and yelled at Sha Zhu, "What are you standing there for! Go and pull your sister out!"

In his eyes, his son was utterly spineless, standing by and watching his own sister being bullied.

Sha Zhu, after being yelled at by He Daqing, glared fiercely at Xu Damao: "Get lost! I'll settle the score with you later!"

After saying that, he stretched his shoulders and walked forward, looking like he would attack anyone who dared to stop him.

Although Xu Damao had been defiant earlier, he shrank back now and didn't dare to actually step in to block him—knowing Sha Zhu as he did, he knew he would get beaten up if he went up at this moment.

With Hao Jianguo present, if Sha Zhu really goes too far, someone will naturally deal with him.

Someone in the crowd muttered under their breath, "How shameful! A grown man trying to lay a hand on a girl."

But no matter how loudly they spoke, no one actually stepped forward to stop them.

Everyone had fought against Sha Zhu before and knew that a head-on confrontation would not yield any good, so they simply kept quiet and waited to see what would happen next.

"He only dares to act tough in front of us. Let's see if he can still be so arrogant when he sees Hao Jianguo later."

"That's right, just wait and see, Hao Jianguo won't let him off so easily."

"Touch Hao Jianguo's sister-in-law? I think he's got a death wish."

There was a murmur of discussion around, everyone hoping that Sha Zhu would run into a brick wall.

To everyone's surprise, even though Sha Zhu was almost in front of Yu Haitang, Hao Jianguo still stood there with his hands behind his back, as if he was watching some interesting spectacle unfold, and had no intention of intervening.

Everyone was stunned.

It was his own sister-in-law who was about to be beaten, so why wasn't Hao Jianguo worried at all?

"Could it be... that Hao Jianguo and Yu Haitang don't get along, and he's deliberately using Sha Zhu to teach her a lesson?"

Some people couldn't help but mutter to themselves.

After thinking it over, it seems that only this explanation makes sense.

The people around were stunned, and even Yu Li was completely bewildered.

She knew Hao Jianguo well; she knew he always doted on his younger sister and shouldn't have just stood by and watched Yu Haitang get beaten.

"Jianguo, what's wrong with you...?"

Yu Li couldn't help but speak up.

She thought that Hao Jianguo couldn't intervene when the women were fighting; now that Sha Zhu had broken the rules first, it would be reasonable for him to step in.

Before he could finish speaking, Hao Jianguo calmly waved his hand.

"don’t worry,"

He said calmly, "That kid is just bluffing; he's no match for Haitang."
