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

He Yushui knew very well that if she couldn't get enough benefits from Qin Huairu right now, she wouldn't help her for free like before.

The only benefit she mentioned was that Qin Huairu would marry her mentally challenged brother.

Strangely enough, it seems that He Yushui's mind has never been completely cleared of its pent-up thoughts.

Despite the many unsavory things Qin Huairu had done and the fact that she was now considered a "jinx" that everyone in the courtyard avoided, He Yushui was still determined to make her his sister-in-law.

If the deaf old lady in the backyard knew about this, she would probably faint from anger on the spot.

Qin Huairu raised her eyelids and gave He Yushui a deep look.

Knowing this girl as she did, how could she not guess what the other was thinking? She gave a slight smile and nodded to He Yushui.

"Rain, you need to think this through—if Jia Dongxu is gone, I'll become a widow again, and then I can naturally remarry."

These words struck He Yushui like a hammer blow.

A flush of excitement instantly rose on her face, but she still suppressed her emotions and asked again, "Then...then are you willing to marry my brother?"

Sha Zhu was standing right next to him when he said this.

He was clearly taken aback when his sister suddenly brought this up, and was momentarily stunned.

But when his gaze drifted toward Qin Huairu, a faint hope rose in his heart.

Ultimately, Sha Zhu could never forget Qin Huairu's figure.

Moreover, he knew in his heart that given his current situation, it would indeed be difficult for him to find a wife.

Although He Daqing had mentioned early this morning that he would introduce him to a girl, those words were like clouds in the sky, drifting away without ever materializing.

To say that Sha Zhu isn't worried would be a lie.

"Are you willing to be my sister-in-law or not? If you nod, we'll help you with this!"

He Yushui made her point very clear.

Now she's not going to act until she sees a clear benefit—if Qin Huairu doesn't agree to marry her brother, she's determined not to waste her efforts.

After all, if word got out that He Yushui was helping Qin Huairu get rid of Jia Dongxu, she herself would be implicated.

But if Qin Huairu really became her sister-in-law, then it would be a different story—He Yushui would go to great lengths for her own family without batting an eye.

Upon hearing his sister's words, Sha Zhu felt a sudden surge of heat in his chest, and his heart skipped a beat.

For a moment, he almost wanted to give He Yushui a thumbs up—this girl finally did something sensible!

Qin Huairu nodded almost without hesitation.

She knows her own situation better than anyone else.

With her current status as a "jinx"

Given her reputation, even if Jia Dongxu dies and she becomes a widow again, probably no one would dare to marry her, or even be willing to get close to her.

After all, "husband-killing"

This title is terrifying—whoever gets close to it will be unlucky; who can stand it?

Qin Huairu actually harbored a sliver of hope.

She thought that even if she really was a jinx, someone as unlucky as Sha Zhu wouldn't necessarily be killed by her; at most, he would just have a bit of bad luck.

Even if we take a step back and say that she knows Sha Zhu inside and out, she is more than confident that she can have this man under her control.

She believed that once she entered the He family, she would be in charge of all matters, big and small, and that she would be able to speak with confidence in front of Sha Zhu, just like Jia Zhangshi had done back then.

Qin Huairu knew perfectly well that in this compound, only Sha Zhu would still treat her well.

That's why, when He Yushui uttered those words, she agreed almost without thinking.

Seeing Qin Huairu nod in agreement, He Yushui and Shazhu were immediately overjoyed, almost jumping for joy.

He Yushui was especially excited, her face flushed, and her excited appearance made it seem as if she herself was about to marry Qin Huairu.

In this matter, her enthusiasm was even more pronounced than that of Sha Zhu.

The three of them then huddled together and began to discuss in hushed tones.

When discussing their plans to deal with Jia Dongxu, their expressions remained calm and indifferent, as if they were dealing not with a person, but with a stray dog ​​lying on the roadside.

"We need to be extra careful this time."

Qin Huairu lowered her voice and said, "We can't let any word leak out like last time."

Speaking of "disposal"

When she said "two words," her voice became even softer, clearly indicating that the previous incident of stealing children had taught her a lesson.

As she spoke, she kept glancing cautiously towards the door, looking as if she had done something wrong.

Sha Zhu and He Yushui naturally understood the gravity of the situation—how could they casually discuss such a life-or-death matter with others? If it were to be leaked, they would likely spend the rest of their lives in prison.

Moreover, there are many people and suspicious eyes in this compound. If someone overhears them and calls the police, they will be handcuffed and taken away immediately.

Seeing that both of them nodded, Qin Huairu pondered for a moment, but still felt it wasn't safe enough.

"Remember, this matter is known only to Heaven, Earth, and the three of us."

She specifically instructed, "Absolutely no fourth person must know—especially Grandpa Yi and the deaf old lady; you must keep it a complete secret from them as well."

Although the words were phrased tactfully, the truth was that they didn't trust those two people.

Qin Huairu knew that Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old woman were now full of hostility towards her. In their eyes, Sha Zhu's current predicament was entirely caused by her.

Although Qin Huairu was unwilling, she had to admit that if it weren't for her, Sha Zhu might not have ended up in this situation.

It's uncertain whether those two would call the police if they found out she was going to harm Jia Dongxu, but they would definitely do everything they could to stop her in order to protect Sha Zhu.

After saying this, Qin Huairu quietly observed the expressions of He Yushui and Shazhu.

She knew that the two men were close to Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old woman, and she couldn't help but worry that they would hesitate or refuse.

Fortunately, He Yushui and Shazhu agreed almost without hesitation.

"Don't worry, Sister Qin, we're not stupid. We understand what's important."

He Yushui spoke up before Sha Zhu could.

Upon hearing this, Qin Huairu felt a strange unease.

She gave He Yushui a deep look—if this girl isn't considered stupid, then there's probably no one stupid in the world.

Naturally, she kept these words to herself.

He Yushui is currently being used by her, so why would she be foolish enough to expose him to his face?

Qin Huairu then turned her gaze to Sha Zhu.

He gritted his teeth, his eyes revealing a resolute determination to go all out.

For him, as long as this matter can be accomplished, he will be able to marry the woman he loves.

Sha Zhu was naturally happy to take this gamble.

Given Jia Dongxu's current state of being barely breathing, some people in the courtyard have been whispering among themselves that he probably won't last more than a few days.

As long as they act carefully enough and don't let others see any clues, once Jia Dongxu really breathes his last, outsiders will only think that he has run out of energy and will never guess that there is more to the story.

"This is something only heaven and earth know, only the three of us know the truth, we even have to keep it from the old man."

Sha Zhu took a deep breath and lowered his voice considerably.

Just thinking about how Jia Dongxu could marry Qin Huairu after his death made his heart burn with excitement, and he could hardly contain his restlessness.

The three thought their plan was foolproof and could deceive everyone, but little did they know that walls have ears—every word they whispered in their conversation had already been clearly heard by Hao Jianguo.

Even Hao Jianguo hadn't expected that Qin Huairu would have such a vicious idea.

"It really is a wasp's stinger."

He sighed silently to himself.

Of course, Hao Jianguo had no pity for Jia Dongxu whatsoever.

This person's current predicament is entirely of their own making.

The wicked will be punished by the wicked. If he hadn't acted improperly in the past, how could he have attracted this scheme today? Hao Jianguo just watched it as a show.

In these dull years, having a courtyard full of animals taking turns performing makes it less lonely.

"Jianguo, what are you muttering to yourself?"

Yu Li approached with the child in her arms and noticed that he seemed a little distracted, so she casually asked him a question.

Although Hao Jianguo didn't need to hide anything from her, after a moment's thought, he decided to leave it at that for the time being.

He worried that if Yu Li let something slip, the three of them would definitely abandon their plan, and might even resort to desperate measures.

In this way, not only will you not get to watch the show, but you might also get into a lot of trouble.

Hao Jianguo was naturally not afraid of these guys, but he also had no need to shield Jia Dongxu from trouble.

The three of them discussed the matter in private for a long time, scrutinizing it repeatedly. They felt that their plan was foolproof, and then they calmed down.

"If things are arranged this way, Jia Dongxu is definitely doomed!"

Sha Zhu lost his composure for a moment and couldn't control his words, immediately drawing fierce glares from Qin Huairu and He Yushui.

"Keep your voice down! Don't you know walls have ears? If this gets out, we'll all be in jail!"

Qin Huairu glared at him angrily, regretting bringing Sha Zhu into the picture.

He Yushui frowned and complained, "Brother, don't make a mistake at this crucial moment."

Sha Zhu scratched the back of his head sheepishly, then quickly puffed out his chest and assured him, "Don't worry, I won't mess things up!"

Although he spoke with absolute certainty, Qin Huairu's eyes still held a hint of doubt.

She thought to herself: If this fool really messes things up... should I think of a way to pin the blame on him?

Ah, it really proves the old saying—nothing is more poisonous than a woman's heart.

After giving Sha Zhu a few more careful instructions, He Yushui quietly left.

He Yushui also had her own little scheme in mind.

She deliberately left the house, thinking that she could give Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu more time alone—maybe the longer they spent together, the closer their relationship would become.

She even secretly hoped that her brother and Qin Huairu would simply make it a fait accompli, then her sister-in-law would probably have no way to escape.

Watching He Yushui's retreating figure, Sha Zhu's eyes darted around, and a playful smile suddenly appeared on his face.

Under Qin Huairu's slightly helpless gaze, he took a few steps to her, reached out and grabbed her hand, putting on a deeply affectionate look.

"Huai Ru, don't worry, I will definitely take care of this for you."

"From now on, when we live together, I promise I'll treat you well."

With that, Sha Zhu steeled his heart and mustered his courage to pull Qin Huairu into his arms.

Qin Huairu twisted slightly, as if pushing him away a few times, but then stopped struggling.

She knew perfectly well that if you wanted someone to do something for you, you had to offer them something in return.

Letting Sha Zhu take a small advantage right now is nothing; at worst, it's like being brushed against by a stray dog.

At this moment, Sha Zhu was completely unaware of the thoughts swirling in Qin Huairu's mind; otherwise, he would probably have fainted from anger.

He held Qin Huairu's waist, feeling her soft warmth in his arms, and his heart was filled with joy.

In his mind, he could finally get close to the person he had been longing for, and he even began to fantasize about Qin Huairu bearing him children in the future.

If Qin Huairu hadn't maintained that last bit of reserve, Sha Zhu would probably have already lost control of his restless thoughts.

Even so, he felt content just being able to hold her like this.

No wonder people say you can't choose the wrong nickname.

Sha Zhu was indeed quite naive, unaware that he was being used as a pawn by Qin Huairu.

The two were intimately cuddling inside the house, occasionally crossing the line, unaware that they had already been observed by others.

Although He Yushui had come out of the room earlier, she had not gone far and was secretly peeking from outside the window.

Seeing her brother and Qin Huairu in such a tender moment, her heart pounded as if a lively little deer was leaping in her chest, and she was so excited that she could hardly breathe.

He Yushui couldn't help but daydream, hoping that one day she could be embraced so tenderly by her beloved.

Just thinking about it made her face flush.

"Oh dear, what am I thinking?"

He Yushui hurriedly looked away, a strong desire to start a family welling up inside her.

But she understood that there were still many unresolved issues in the courtyard, and her own marriage was still undecided, so it was not practical to think about things too much right now.

Having witnessed Qin Huairu's past and the affairs of Old Man Jin and Jia Dongxu, she understood even more that marriage is a serious matter that cannot be rushed, nor can it be achieved through compromise; otherwise, it will only lead to bitter consequences.

If you really want to find a good husband, you have to choose carefully.

Thinking of this, she glanced into the room again, then blushed and hurriedly walked away.

Hao Jianguo was not completely unaware of Qin Huairu and her group's movements, but he simply couldn't be bothered with these self-righteous fools.

He would turn a blind eye as long as they didn't provoke him; but if they dared to cross him, he would not let them off easily.

Life went on as usual.

In the days that followed, Hao Jianguo thrived in the steel rolling mill.

Since he won the bet against Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong, his prestige in the workshop has been firmly established.

Hao Jianguo now holds a stable position as workshop director and is respected wherever he goes.
