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

Who would have thought that the two would cause such a commotion as soon as they returned? They were puzzled and wondered what had happened.

"Could it be that Hao Jianguo has some weakness that Jia Zhangshi has exploited? Or...did he really lay a hand on Jia Zhangshi?"

The deaf old lady pondered to herself.

But in either case, she saw it as a good thing—she could use this as an excuse to make things difficult for Hao Jianguo.

However, the deaf old lady has become shrewd these days; she won't easily intervene until the matter is resolved.

To avoid accidentally getting into some trouble you can't get rid of.

"Silly Zhu, Jia Zhangshi, what are you two up to now?"

This commotion naturally alerted Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong.

The two men frowned as they walked out of the house. When they saw Sha Zhu and Jia Zhangshi shouting and cursing again, a surge of anger rose in their hearts—in their eyes, these two were simply the number one troublemakers in the courtyard.

Yan Bugui is now openly on Hao Jianguo's side, and his face immediately darkened when he heard them cursing Hao Jianguo.

He glared fiercely at Sha Zhu and said coldly:

"Silly Zhu, what's going on between you two? You're acting like a husband and wife in perfect harmony."

If I remember correctly, you two broke up a long time ago, right? What, now you want to rekindle your relationship?

These words were clearly meant to be sarcastic.

Upon hearing this, Jia Zhangshi blushed and secretly glanced at Sha Zhu, her eyes filled with anticipation.

However, her face was now so unsightly that seeing her in such a state of shame made Sha Zhu feel nauseous.

"Uncle San, stop trying to smooth things over!"

Sha Zhu retorted stubbornly, "Yes, Hao Jianguo caused Jia Zhangshi's leg to break. Can't the people of our compound speak a word of justice?"

Sha Zhu immediately adopted a righteous and stern posture and loudly rebuked her, and Jia Zhangshi also understood and started shouting along.

"Uncle San, everyone knows you're close to Hao Jianguo and you want to win his favor, we all understand that, but it would be unfair for you to judge this matter."

"If you ask me, this matter should be decided by Uncle Er."

"Uncle Er, please break it! Hao Jianguo broke Jia Zhangshi's leg; we need an explanation."

As Sha Zhu spoke, he glanced at his bangs.

In the past, Liu Haizhong would have been happily putting on airs and indulging in his official duties, but seeing Sha Zhu and Jia Zhangshi together now, he felt a tightness in his forehead and his face was full of gloom.

How could he not see that these two were deliberately trying to pick a fight with Hao Jianguo? Just seeing them team up made Liu Haizhong extremely annoyed.

Previously, because he helped Yi Zhonghai deal with Hao Jianguo, he not only offended people but also lost a whole year's salary. Now these two are bothering him again, which is simply unreasonable.

Liu Haizhong frowned, about to reprimand, but Xu Damao spoke first.

"Silly Zhu, you and Jia Zhangshi are really shameless, daring to throw all sorts of dirty water on Hao Jianguo."

Xu Damao seized the opportunity to curry favor with Hao Jianguo, and immediately stood up and started cursing at the two men.

"Are you guys ever going to stop? Sha Zhu, are you out of your mind? Everyone saw it just now, Uncle San talking to Hao Jianguo about school matters, and then a bunch of us were all gathered here eating sunflower seeds and chatting."

"You're saying Hao Jianguo broke Jia Zhangshi's leg? Do you think we're all blind? Or do you think Hao Jianguo can be in two places at once?"

As soon as Xu Damao said this, Sha Zhu was speechless.

His lips twitched, and he was momentarily speechless.

Upon closer examination, Hao Jianguo did indeed have a large number of witnesses present.

At this moment, Liu Guangfu and the others also came forward, looking at Sha Zhu as if he were a fool.

These days, who in the courtyard doesn't want to make a good impression on Hao Jianguo? But Sha Zhu just had to come and cause trouble, which gave them a perfect opportunity to show off.

"Silly Zhu, this is pure slander."

We can all testify that Hao Jianguo was here the whole time, and only went back inside a short while ago.

Do you really think he could break Jia Zhangshi's legs in such a short time? Can Hao Jianguo fly or burrow underground?

"Hao Jianguo had just entered the house when you stepped into the yard. It was only a short time, and you insist it was Hao Jianguo who did it? Use your brain!"

"If you ask me, you must be holding a grudge because Yu Haitang beat you up before, and that's why you're making up these lies to frame Hao Jianguo's family!"

In the blink of an eye, incited by Liu Guangfu and others, almost the entire courtyard turned against Sha Zhu.

As everyone relentlessly criticized him, Sha Zhu's face grew increasingly pale.

To make up for the rift caused by his bangs, Liu Guangfu rushed to the front this time.

He rolled up his sleeves and walked straight up to Sha Zhu.

"Shazhu, Yu Haitang doesn't even need to lift a finger today, we brothers just can't stand by and watch."

If you dare to slander Hao Jianguo again, don't blame us for being ruthless towards you.

Liu Guangfu straightened his back and spoke with unwavering conviction.

Of course, he knew in his heart that he was no match for Sha Zhu if it really came down to a fight.

But if this can ease his relationship with Hao Jianguo, he'd feel it's worth it even if he got beaten up.

Yan Jiecheng and the others naturally wouldn't let Liu Guangfu steal the limelight, so upon hearing this, they immediately stood up as well.

Many people even picked up hoes and sticks, ready to fight.

Seeing that the group had really gotten into position, Sha Zhu, despite being quite confident in his skills, couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

Just as Sha Zhu was about to speak, a figure suddenly rushed over and blocked his way.

With her arms outstretched like a mother animal protecting her cubs, Jia Zhangshi roared at Xu Damao, "Come at me if you dare! What kind of ability is it to bully Sha Zhu!"

These words made Xu Damao and the others feel very uncomfortable—usually it was men who would say such things when protecting women, but now it was completely the other way around.

Was Jia Zhangshi actually protecting Sha Zhu? The onlookers exchanged glances, suppressing smiles.

Xu Damao was not about to let this opportunity slip by. He immediately pointed at Shazhu, who was being blocked behind him, and said in a drawn-out tone, "Oh my, I really didn't realize that you and Jia Zhangshi... were so deeply in love."

"Deep Affection"

Upon hearing those four words, Sha Zhu's face immediately darkened, and he looked at Xu Damao with a gaze that seemed to want to devour him alive.

In Sha Zhu's opinion, Xu Damao was now a complete scoundrel—Jia Zhangshi already had some unclear feelings towards him, and with this provocation, she would probably have even more wild thoughts.

Sure enough, Sha Zhu caught a glimpse of Jia Zhangshi turning her head to look at him, her eyes filled with a certain expectation, and even revealing a tenderness that sent chills down one's spine.

Sha Zhu felt a chill run down his spine, fearing that she might pounce on him at any moment.

"Xu Damao, if you keep spouting nonsense, believe me, I'll kill you!"

Sha Zhu glared fiercely at him; if that look could turn into a knife, Xu Damao would have been sliced ​​to pieces a thousand times over.

Xu Damao, however, remained nonchalant: "Who are you trying to scare, you idiot Zhu? If you dare touch me, I'll call the police immediately."

Besides, if they weren't so deeply in love, why would Jia Zhangshi protect you so desperately?

Sha Zhu was stunned by these words, and opened his mouth but didn't know how to respond.

"besides,"

Xu Damao continued unhurriedly, "You said that Hao Jianguo broke Jia Zhangshi's leg, and that the three of you were up to something... Then I'd like to ask, how did Hao Jianguo break her leg?"

A surge of anger rushed to Sha Zhu's head, and without thinking, he blurted out, "It's all because of that despicable bastard Hao Jianguo! He sent two ghost dolls to scare Zhang Shi, and they actually broke her leg!"

These words were spoken hastily and quickly.

In fact, Qin Huairu had been listening nearby and was horrified. She tried to stop him, but it was too late; Sha Zhu had already poured everything out.

Her heart sank, and she quickly tugged at Sha Zhu's sleeve, trying to make him shut up, but the words were already out and couldn't be taken back.

"A ghost doll? What ghost doll?"

The people in the courtyard looked at each other, their faces filled with surprise and curiosity.

Of course, Xu Damao and the others didn't believe this story at all, taking it as a joke—where would a ghost child come from in this world? No matter how outlandish Sha Zhu's words were, they were nothing more than lies he made up to frame Hao Jianguo.

"Idiot Zhu, are you out of your mind? A ghost doll, huh? Who would believe that!"

Yan Jiecheng immediately sneered.

"that is,"

Liu Guangfu chimed in, "If there really is a ghost child, then call it out and let us see! Don't just try to pin this on Hao Jianguo because you can't come up with a plausible reason."

Yan Laosan walked up to He Yuzhu with his hands behind his back and shook his head repeatedly.

His eyes were filled with contempt, as if the person standing before him was a filthy thing. "He Yuzhu, you haven't taken my previous lesson to heart at all."

Yan Laosan's face was stern, his voice cold and hard, "Having caused so much trouble already, you now dare to spread feudal superstition in public? Believe me or not, I'll report you to the neighborhood committee, the civilization office, and the police station right now! This one charge alone is enough to get you into trouble!"

He Yuzhu hated being lectured in such a condescending manner, and immediately glared at him. "Calling you 'Third Uncle' is a sign of respect for your age,"

He retorted, his neck stiff, "Don't think you're something special! What do you mean by feudal superstition? I'm telling the truth! We've really stumbled upon a ghost doll!"

After he finished shouting, he turned to Qin Huairu anxiously, hoping she would stand up for him.

Qin Huairu was already terrified and dared not take on this hot potato. She hurriedly turned her face away and pretended not to see it.

This evasive maneuver ignited a nameless fire in He Yuzhu's eyes.

He believed he was speaking frankly and honestly, but others were so evasive, clearly believing he was talking nonsense.

"I'm telling you, Qin Huairu went to Hao Jian's house to steal..."

He Yuzhu shuddered suddenly halfway through his sentence and swallowed the rest of it.

A cold sweat instantly soaked his back—he finally realized why Qin Huairu had acted that way earlier.

He subconsciously looked at Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu, his eyes revealing a plea for help.

But Madam Jia's face was ashen, her lips pressed tightly together, and she dared not meet his gaze even slightly.

At this point, it's too late to distance yourself; who would dare to get involved?

Hao Jianguo watched this farce with a cold eye, inwardly scoffing.

As expected, fools ruin things; even the most meticulous plans can't withstand a teammate's casual remark.

"He Yuzhu, what did you just say?"

Yan Laosan immediately seized the opportunity, looking nervously in the direction of the Hao family's house, "What did Qin Huairu steal? What did she do to Hao Jianguo's child?"

As they were talking, Hao Jianguo came out with the child in his arms and Yu Li.

Seeing that the child was safe and sound, Yan Laosan's expression softened slightly, but when he turned to Qin Huairu and the others, his gaze remained sharp as a knife.

"I...I was just gossiping, don't take it seriously!"

He Yuzhu hurriedly changed his tune.

In front of the entire hospital, how could he dare to actually reveal the truth?

But words spoken are like water spilled; it's too late to take them back now.

Liu Haizhong was overjoyed upon seeing this.

He was just worried about not having a chance to curry favor with Hao Jianguo, and now this opportunity was presented to him.

He immediately strode forward, pointed at He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu, and said sternly, "You, He Yuzhu! Do you really think everyone can't see through your little scheme? Is Qin Huairu trying to steal Hao Jianguo's child?"

Regardless of the truth, Liu Haizhong was determined to solidify this charge—only in this way could he demonstrate his stance.

"That's right, exactly!"

He pressed his advantage, saying, "So that's why Qin Huairu has been peeking around outside the Hao family's house these past few days—she's been harboring such malicious intentions!"

"What a heartless bastard! He even covets other people's children!"

"How can someone who does such a despicable thing deserve to be called a human being?"

The courtyard immediately erupted in chaos.

The crowd glared at each other, their eyes practically spitting fire.

No matter the era, child abduction is the most hated act. At this moment, several men clenched their fists, wishing they could rush up and tear those people to pieces immediately.

Qin Huairu's gaze at Sha Zhu at that moment was almost spitting fire.

If this person hadn't suddenly appeared and stirred things up, how could her carefully concealed secret have escalated to such an unmanageable state?

"Don't listen to Sha Zhu's nonsense! There's no such thing as stealing a child! Would I touch Hao Jianguo's child? If you keep making these false accusations, I'll call the police—you're just making things up, can you even produce any evidence?"

She shouted at the top of her lungs, her gaze sweeping over the neighbors watching in the courtyard, her eyes filled with undisguised panic.

In the current situation, she was genuinely afraid that everyone would get angry and attack her.

Sha Zhu immediately changed his story, repeatedly saying that he had just made up all the facts and insisting that Hao Jianguo had no evidence whatsoever.

No matter how Xu Damao and the others questioned them, they only kept shouting, "Where's the evidence?"
