Courtyard House: My System - Artificial Human

"Hey? Old Yi's wife? What's going on here...?"

"Great Qing! Oh, never mind asking now. Since you're here, why don't you help get Old Yi to the hospital?"

Gao Cuilan was delighted to see them and quickly asked for their help, which He Daqing readily agreed to.

"Okay! How did Lao Yi get hurt? It looks like he was beaten up."

Gao Cuilan didn't reply but anxiously spoke to Yan Bugui and his wife.

"Then you don't need to go, Lao Yan... Don't you think you should return the money to us?"

"What?" Yan Bugui, who had just let go, put his hand back on the frame, his expression serious.

Pay me back? Are you kidding me?

"Okay, forget about the 50 cents you borrowed the car, but you still have to pay us back that dollar, right? You know Old Yi needs to see a doctor soon, and his family isn't well-off!"

Hearing this, He Daqing and his son realized that Yan Bugui and his wife had been hired by the Yi family.

The Yan family is utterly ruthless! Are they obsessed with money?

"Old Yan, you're charging money for helping out your neighbors? This is outrageous... You should pay Old Yi back right now! My son and I will take it to him..."

He Daqing was interrupted by Yan Bugui before he could finish speaking.

"Stop! You're paid to do things for people, you don't need their help. Besides, Lao He, I advise you and your son to go home quickly, someone is waiting for you! Don't let them wait in vain and then come storming into your house tonight!"

He Yuzhu was displeased upon hearing this.

"Hey! Teacher Yan, are you saying you've brought bandits into our courtyard? Don't you know what kind of world this is?"

Yan Bugui completely ignored this junior and snorted coldly as he looked at He Daqing.

"Hehe... No matter what kind of world you live in, you can't do anything immoral! You agree, right, Lao He?"

He Daqing's eyes widened in panic as he looked at Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai breathed carefully for a long time without daring to make a sound. At this moment, he couldn't care less about his injuries and sighed as he spoke frankly.

"Sigh! The silk shop is looking for me... they've come looking for me. My injuries are from... they beat me up. There were more than ten of them. Old He... you'd better hide."

After hearing Yi Zhonghai's distressed explanation, He Daqing struggled internally.

Yi Zhonghai was injured so badly, those people must be no pushovers.

But they've already chased me to my doorstep... where can I run to?

You can run away from the monk, but you can't hide from the temple!

Instead of living in constant fear, it's better to face it sooner rather than later.

He was already suffering because of this, so it would be better to get it over with sooner rather than later; anyway, it would just be a beating.

Moreover, Yi Zhonghai has already been dealt with beforehand, so perhaps he has already calmed down.

Say some nice things, apologize, and pay some money; that should be enough to get through this.

After making his own plans, He Daqing gave instructions to He Yuzhu.

"Forget it, Lao Yi. He'll have to go back to me sooner or later. Zhu Zi, you go with Master Yi to the hospital."

"Dad, I'll go back with you!" He Yuzhu said resolutely. So what if it's a fight? He's never been afraid.

Yan Bugui simply waited to see the spectacle unfold without intervening, while Yi Zhonghai offered a perfunctory word of advice before watching helplessly as He Daqing and his son walked back.

He was actually quite resentful inside.

It's not fair that he was the only one who got beaten up when the two of them did it together!

Besides, only if He Daqing also gets beaten up can he truly stand on the same side as me.

He Yuzhu kept asking his father what he had done to be attacked at their door.

But the image of him wielding the fire tongs that night was still deeply etched in He Daqing's mind.

He Daqing was too embarrassed to say it, so he gave perfunctory answers and even tried to get rid of him.

"It's alright, Zhuzi. This has nothing to do with you, so don't get involved or act impulsively. I'll see if we can settle this with some money. Even if we can't, don't worry about me getting beaten up. Go home and watch over your sister. Just take me to the hospital later."

"Dad, what are you saying? What son would just stand by and watch his father get beaten up? Fine, let's fight back, what are you afraid of?"

As He Yuzhu spoke, he began searching for a suitable weapon by the roadside.

Enraged, He Daqing slapped him on the neck.

"Don't talk nonsense! Let me tell you, this whole thing was started by Yi Zhonghai, I was just his sidekick. It's not that serious. You should go back and keep an eye on your sister so she doesn't worry. I'm confident I can handle it!"

Seeing his father angry, He Yuzhu pursed his lips and remained silent, following him toward the crowd at the gate, wondering how to intimidate them!

At this point, some people started to mutter.

"Hey! He Daqing's back!"

"Wow! She really looks a lot like Cai Quanwu! Eight or nine out of ten, just a bit older!"

……

"Stop talking nonsense! Just fight!" Boss Niu waved his hand again.

He Daqing was confident when faced with the intense gazes of more than a dozen people, who attacked without giving him a chance to speak...

It's useless now.

He shouted at the pillar not to attack while assuming a defensive stance.

But He Yuzhu wouldn't listen.

He even took the initiative to go forward to meet them.

Everyone didn't pay much attention to He Yuzhu, who was just a teenager, but they never expected that this kid would actually be so strong.

He was even taken advantage of in the scuffle, and immediately became furious.

"Get out of here, you little brat!"

"Zhu Zi! Are you trying to drive me crazy? Why won't you listen to me?" He Daqing was both angry and touched, but he couldn't just watch He Yuzhu fight with someone! He could only step forward to meet him.

The father and son together are indeed quite skilled, but they can't handle more than a dozen people!

Before long, the two were surrounded and subjected to punches and kicks, howling in pain.

He Yuzhu's arrogance even reignited the anger that had subsided somewhat among the group at Qianmen.

He hit even harder than he had hit Yi Zhonghai earlier.

"Ouch! No...don't hit my son! If you have a problem, come at me! I did it...it has nothing to do with him!"

He Daqing, panting heavily, managed to shout something, but He Yuzhu, angered by the beating, instead started to despise him.

"Dad, don't back down! Let them fight one-on-one if they dare! We'll break his legs!"

The sight of the father and son being beaten together was heartbreaking, and a rare moment of sympathy arose in the crowd, but no one dared to speak up to offer any advice.

Neighbors are neighbors; if a dozen or so people show up at the front door, who dares to stop them? They'll just get themselves into trouble.

Moreover, the victim is Lin Weidong from the hospital. If I speak up, wouldn't that just worsen my relationship with Lin Weidong? That's not worth it!

Among the onlookers, Lin Weidong remained calm, and through the status bar, he could roughly understand the mindset of everyone.

It is often said that there is something hateful about a pitiful person, which is not absolute but not without reason.

This silly Zhu really did act foolishly; he endured the beating entirely on his own.

Originally, after Qianmen taught Yi Zhonghai a lesson, most of their anger had subsided. Even if they were to beat He Daqing again, it would only be a token gesture. It was this foolish Zhu who had forcefully provoked the other party's anger.

Lin Weidong said he couldn't hold back, and the plight of He Daqing and his son did not move him in the slightest, nor would it soften his heart.

He thought to himself, "This is just the beginning. The real show is only just starting."

They must have had the guts to make fun of themselves.

Just wait and enjoy it.
