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

Haitang is sure she can tame him.

Upon hearing this, a low murmur immediately rippled through the surrounding area.

Everyone stared at Hao Jianguo as if they had seen something strange.

They couldn't understand why he would say such a thing.

If Hao Jianguo were to take action himself, no one doubted that Sha Zhu would be defeated.

But now it's Yu Haitang who's going to take the stage—that's a completely different story.

They had confidence in Hao Jianguo, but had no confidence whatsoever in Haitang.

After all, Sha Zhu was known in the courtyard for his fighting prowess; even strong young men might not be able to subdue him, let alone a young woman. Even if Yu Haitang was considered formidable among women, how could she possibly defeat this "ever-victorious general"?

Many people sighed inwardly: If Hao Jianguo really refuses to make a move today, Yu Haitang is probably doomed to suffer a loss.

Yu Haitang gave Hao Jianguo a deep look, and then said something that shocked everyone.

"Don't worry, brother-in-law, watch how I teach this idiot Zhu a lesson."

On any other day, if Yu Haitang saw a burly man like Sha Zhu approaching, her legs would have gone weak.

But today was strange. When she saw Sha Zhu walking up to her, she was not afraid at all. Instead, she felt a surge of excitement.

The man who had been invincible throughout the compound now seemed insignificant in her eyes.

"Ha ha--!"

Sha Zhu was stunned for a moment, then burst into a wild laugh, looking at Hao Jianguo and Yu Haitang as if he were looking at some absurd scene.

"What a joke! What a huge joke! You think you can beat me up?"

His face was full of sarcasm, "Don't you even know your own limitations!"

If it were Hao Jianguo who made the move, he might have backed down; but for a mere young woman to dare to threaten to beat him up is simply delusional.

Do you really think he's a pushover that anyone can bully?

"I was going to forgive you because you're a woman and you knelt down and begged for forgiveness."

Sha Zhu sneered, "Since you're courting death, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Sha Zhu cursed and swore, his gaze toward Yu Haitang filled with mockery, treating her like a lamb to the slaughter.

Not only did he think this way, but the people watching around him generally felt the same way.

Many people clenched their fists secretly; if they weren't wary of Sha Zhu, they probably would have rushed up to stop him already.

At this moment, it seems that only Hao Jianguo still firmly believes that Haitang can win—and even win beautifully.

Amidst the astonished gazes of many, Hao Jianguo remained standing with his hands behind his back, calmly observing the scene before him, as if Yu Haitang's victory over Sha Zhu was the most natural thing in the world.

"Brother, beat her hard! Beat her to death! Let her know what happens if she hits me!"

He Yushui screamed wildly from the side, "I want her to kneel down and apologize to me!"

At this moment, He Yushui was disheveled, her cheeks were red and swollen, and she looked like a madwoman in a sorry state.

She glared at Yu Haitang, her eyes filled with resentment—she never expected this thin girl to be so ruthless.

But what good is her fighting ability? He Yushui thought through gritted teeth that her brother would definitely stand up for her.

When that time comes, I will make him kneel down and beg for mercy.

Upon hearing this, Sha Zhu grinned, a sinister smile spreading across his face.

He glared at Yu Haitang, his posture becoming increasingly arrogant: "Did you hear what my sister said? I didn't want to bother with you because you're a woman."

If things really got serious, your physique probably wouldn't be able to withstand it.

He stood with his arms crossed, confidently offering his terms: "Kneel down and admit your mistake now, and I'll spare you this time and let you get lost."

Xu Damao and the others were so angry they were itching to speak, but they all held their tongues and dared not utter a sound.

Trying to be stubborn at this critical juncture will only lead to your own downfall.

Yu Haitang stood silently with a furrowed brow.

This appearance, in Shazhu's eyes, became evidence of cowardice.

He stood even straighter—nowadays, in this courtyard, many people can't even lift their heads in front of him.

"you……"

Just as Sha Zhu was about to launch another verbal attack, he saw Yu Haitang raise an eyebrow impatiently.

"He keeps rambling on and on; does he have even a shred of manliness left?"

Her words were laced with sarcasm and clear: "If you want to fight, then fight. This coy pretense is simply unacceptable."

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire courtyard erupted in uproar.

Everyone stared in disbelief at the slender figure.

Xu Damao clicked his tongue inwardly: "Has this girl gone mad? She's really thinking Sha Zhu will show mercy after provoking him like this?"

Then she thought of Hao Jianguo and felt a little relieved—that man would definitely not sit idly by.

Aunt San shook her head silently.

Having spent time together, she had thought Yu Haitang was gentle and reasonable, but she never expected her to be so reckless today.

Even with Hao Jianguo's protection, they could not prevent future retaliation.

She wanted to say something to remind him, but she swallowed her words in the end—who would want to easily provoke a troublesome character like Sha Zhu?

Most people in the courtyard shared the same thought: they wanted to please Hao Jianguo, but were also afraid of offending Sha Zhu.

Is there a way to have it all in this world? It's nothing but self-deception.

Hao Jianguo glanced coldly at everyone's expressions, his mind already clear.

He scoffed softly, silently uttering four words:

Utterly foolish.

Hao Jianguo let out a sneer and said nothing more.

"You...you're courting death!"

Sha Zhu was also enraged.

He originally intended to achieve victory without fighting.

She wanted to show off in front of Hao Jianguo, but unexpectedly, Yu Haitang was so tough.

Without another word, Sha Zhu rushed forward and swung his fist down at Yu Haitang's head.

Seeing this, many onlookers closed their eyes in unbearable sorrow, all believing that Yu Haitang was doomed.

"ah--!"

A scream suddenly rang out, and to everyone's surprise, the one who cried out in pain was not Yu Haitang as they had imagined, but Sha Zhu himself.

It wasn't Hao Jianguo who took action to deal with Sha Zhu, but Yu Haitang herself.

Just as Sha Zhu lunged forward, Yu Haitang raised her leg and delivered a vicious kick, striking Sha Zhu squarely in the body.

The kick was so powerful that Sha Zhu fell flat on his back.

The crowd exchanged astonished glances, completely unprepared for this outcome.

I thought a young girl like her could never be a match for Sha Zhu, but who knew...

"It seems we all underestimated Yu Haitang."

Someone in the crowd whispered.

"That's right. After all, she's Yu Li's sister. How could Hao Jianguo allow others to bully his sister-in-law? He let Yu Haitang accept the challenge just now because he knew she had some skills."

A buzz of discussion immediately arose, with people whispering amongst themselves, greatly surprised by Haitang's skill.

"But I always feel there's something strange about this. Is Yu Haitang really that capable? If you ask me, it might just be a coincidence."

Of course, some people have expressed different opinions.

Many who heard this nodded secretly, seemingly feeling that this possibility was more likely.

"You idiot Zhu, what are you good for! You can't even handle a little girl?"

Seeing his son in such a sorry state, He Daqing couldn't bear it and started scolding him angrily.

In his view, this was utterly humiliating.

Sha Zhu's face turned pale, and he awkwardly got up from the ground, insisting, "Dad, it's nothing, she's just a little girl, I can handle her."

Just now... just now my foot slipped.

He forced himself to find an excuse, both to tell those around him and to save face for himself.

But when he faced Haitang again, Shazhu's previous contempt had completely vanished.

He knew perfectly well that the fall was not a slip, but a solid kick from the little girl.

"I underestimated this girl... she's got some skills."

Do you think you can make me, idiot Zhu, admit defeat? Not so easy!

Sha Zhu gritted his teeth and mustered all his strength to rush forward again, determined to have a good fight.

However, to everyone's astonishment once again, as soon as Sha Zhu approached Yu Haitang, she met him with a punch, using his momentum against him, and with a clean and swift grappling move, slammed him heavily to the ground.

Yu Haitang showed no mercy. Before Sha Zhu could get up from the ground, she picked up a stone and smashed it against his head.

"Oh!"

The blow landed squarely, and Sha Zhu screamed in agony.

He struggled desperately, but Yu Haitang held him firmly in place, preventing him from moving.

The stones kept hitting his head, one after another, hard and black.

Sha Zhu felt dizzy and his vision went black, and he screamed repeatedly.

The surrounding crowd was stunned, their eyes wide with disbelief as they stared at the unexpected scene unfolding before them.

To be honest, they actually believed Sha Zhu's explanation earlier.

That explanation was pretty much what they had guessed in private, and it also explained why a little girl could take down Sha Zhu.

But what they saw before them stunned everyone.

Their eyes were wide open, as if they had seen something they shouldn't have seen.

If you could say that Sha Zhu slipped when he fell earlier, what about this?

The situation was strangely perplexing, and no one present could figure it out.

"This...this is something a young girl could really do?"

Liu Guangfu rubbed his eyes hard, and his voice involuntarily rose.

Yan Jiecheng swallowed hard.

He had previously planned to marry Yu Haitang, but seeing how formidable she was, that idea vanished instantly—if he really married her, how would they live together? If things didn't go his way, wouldn't she be able to deal with him as easily as dealing with a grandson?

Sha Zhu is a perfect example; Yan Jiecheng doesn't think he's any better than Sha Zhu.

"That girl Yu Haitang... she's really ruthless."

Yan Jiecheng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and muttered under his breath, "Now I understand, none of Hao Jianguo's family are easy to mess with."

Those around Yu Haitang who had initially thought she was going to suffer a loss were now dumbfounded, their expressions as if they had seen a ghost in broad daylight.

He Daqing also stood there, stunned and didn't move.

He knew his son's capabilities perfectly well—Sha Zhu had even beaten him up a while ago.

But now, Sha Zhu has actually been beaten up by a little girl.

He Daqing wanted to stop them, but then he thought: even Sha Zhu couldn't handle it, wouldn't it be pointless for me to go up and give myself away? I might end up getting beaten up instead of trying to break up the fight.

With that thought, he felt as if his feet were rooted to the spot, standing there watching without taking a single step forward.

Sha Zhu has really bitten off more than he can chew this time.

With bruises all over his head and his face covered in purple welts, and he'd been beaten up like this by a little girl—if word got out, he'd be incredibly embarrassed.

Of course, losing face is nothing new for Sha Zhu; he's long since lost all sense of pride.

Even so, he still felt incredibly frustrated.

If Hao Jianguo beat him up, he wouldn't have much to say, since Hao Jianguo was indeed very capable.

But the opponent is a girl...

When did he become unable to beat even a little girl?

Thinking back on what he had said earlier, Sha Zhu wished he could dig a hole and bury himself right there.

Yu Li stared blankly at all of this.

She, as the older sister, knew all too well how capable her younger sister was.

But now Yu Haitang has suddenly become so capable in combat, even earning the title of the "God of War" in the courtyard.

None of them were a match for her—how could this be?

"Could it be the founding of the nation...?"

Yu Li subconsciously looked at Hao Jianguo in front of her.

The first person she thought of was her husband.

Yu Li couldn't think of any other reason besides him.

Especially at this moment, Hao Jianguo still appeared calm and composed, as if he had expected this whole drama to unfold.

Yu Li couldn't understand what method her husband had used to make her sister so capable.

However, she didn't want to rack her brains over things she couldn't understand—for her, knowing that her man was capable was enough.

At this moment, Yu Haitang kicked Sha Zhu away.

Without her restraint, Sha Zhu was as pathetic as a stray dog, scrambling and crawling as he fled.

But the beating he had just received was really bad; his vision was still blurring, and after running only a few steps, his legs gave way and he collapsed with a "thud."

He fell to the ground.

"Silly Zhu!"

Only then did He Daqing dare to call out and quickly step forward to help his son.

Yu Haitang watched coldly, letting out only a soft snort from her nose.

She glanced at the crowd, her tone dismissive: "Not a single one of you can fight? Anyone else have complaints? Feel free to step forward."

Today, I, Yu Haitang, am putting my words here and I will take full responsibility for them.

If you don't have the guts, then keep your mouth shut from now on and don't let me hear a single word of gossip.

"Don't think I'm an easy target."

As she said this, her gaze lingered on Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady for a moment.

His gaze was like a thorn, igniting a fire in their hearts, but they could only grit their teeth and endure it.

The embarrassing scene that Sha Zhu had just witnessed was still fresh in their minds. They knew they didn't have the ability, and if they tried to step forward now, they would only suffer the consequences.
