Courtyard House: My Wife is Xu Huizhen

Page 457

Without even trying to cover it up for them, they gathered everyone together and told them what had happened. Everyone was stunned, staring at Jia Zhangshi and Xu Damao, whose faces were ashen. No one could believe it was true.

Qin Huairu was very surprised. It turned out that the person who was having an affair with her mother-in-law was Xu Damao. No wonder her mother-in-law had to keep it a secret.

The most embarrassed person at the scene was Jia Dongxu, whose eyes were bloodshot. He grabbed a brick and rushed forward, yelling that he wanted to beat Xu Damao, that scoundrel, to death.

But he was stopped by several people who held him tightly and snatched the brick from his hand.

He Daqing found it strange and winked at Yu Shui, telling her to call He Yuzhu.

Yi Zhonghai looked at Jia Zhangshi with a face full of annoyance, then turned to look at his wife, the widow Bai.

This is unbearable.

Originally, I thought that by providing some food to my family, I could help them get through difficult times and have something to eat.

However, Widow Bai was too strict, and not a single grain of food could be allowed to leave. After Yi Zhonghai brought it up, Widow Bai cried and made a scene, putting Yi Zhonghai in a difficult position.

He thought to himself that if he had helped Jia Zhangshi more, she wouldn't have ended up in this situation.

After Liu Haizhong finished speaking, he asked, "Let's discuss what we should do about this?"

Everyone went out to eat melons that night, but no one wanted to get involved in this topic.

Xu Wude asked, "Da Mao, how could you do such a foolish thing? Were you forced to do it?"

Xu Damao nodded, crying even harder, and said, "I was forced into it. Aunt Zhang threatened me. Otherwise, how could I have fallen for this old woman?"

Yi Zhonghai said, "Why would you be forced to speak out when you're constantly being forced? Why don't you report it to the police?"

Regardless, although he was very angry with Jia Zhangshi, he would still side with her at this time.

Madam Jia Zhang shouted, "How could I, a woman, threaten him? I have remained chaste for the sake of the Jia family for over 20 years. It was Xu Damao who forced me to do this."

"You've kept yourself pure, have you forgotten about Er Lengzi?" Xu Wude retorted.

Jia Zhangshi's arrogant attitude was immediately suppressed, and she shouted, "Er Lengzi is threatening me too."

Xu Wude then started arguing with Jia Zhangshi.

Taking advantage of the moment when the people pulling him weren't paying attention, Jia Dongxu forcefully broke free, then bent down, picked up a brick, and rushed towards Xu Damao, smashing it directly onto his head.

Xu Damao immediately got a big bump on his head and started wrestling with Jia Dongxu.

Xu Damao was still young and no match for Jia Dongxu.

Seeing his son being beaten, Xu Wude joined the fight, and Xu Damao's mother also got into a brawl with Jia Zhangshi.

He Yuzhu had just finished a round of cultivation when he received a call from Yushui.

I thought it was something important, but it turned out to be just the exposure of the affair between Jia Zhangshi and Xu Damao.

"Wait here, I'll be right back."

He Yuzhu wouldn't bother with other things, but he had to go and see such a good thing.

After hanging up the phone, he said to Xu Huizhen, "I'm going back. Something happened at the courtyard house."

Xu Huizhen asked nervously, "What happened?"

He Yuzhu said, "Our family is fine. It was Xu Damao and Jia Zhangshi who were caught having an affair."

"What? How could such a thing happen? There's a difference of more than 20 years between them, isn't there?"

"Yes, so I need to go back and see what this big news is about, and I also need to bring Xu Zhaodi and Xiaomei back with me."

Xu Huizhen didn't pay much attention since she wasn't hearing that something had happened to her family. She nodded and simply told him to drive carefully.

He Yuzhu came out of the house, knocked on the door of the Xu family next door, and Xu Zhaodi came out wearing a coat and asked:

"what's going on?"

Normally, He Yuzhu would never call someone by their name so openly; he would usually climb over the wall and go straight to bed.

"Da Mao is in trouble. Hurry up and get dressed and come out."

"what's up?"

"He was having an affair with Jia Zhangshi, and Liu Haizhong caught them in the act."

"what!"

Xu Zhaodi and her younger sister were extremely surprised. They quickly got dressed and got into He Yuzhu's jeep with the children.

Occasionally, a few people would gather by the roadside to cool off in the evening, but the streets were deserted.

They sped along at breakneck speed and soon arrived outside the courtyard house.

The courtyard was still brightly lit, and everyone was gathered together watching the play.

The Jia Zhang family, mother and daughter, and the Xu Damao family of three, were all covered in injuries, with bruises and swollen faces.

However, they had already been separated by this time, and the group was trying to persuade each other.

Xu Zhaodi and her younger sister quickly went to their father and asked what had happened.

He Daqing said, "It's not good for everyone to just stand around like this. We should find someone to discuss it with and see what their opinions are on how to handle this matter."

The two families stared at each other, but neither of them suggested reporting it to the police.

Yi Zhonghai said, "Let's just leave it at that. It's not something to be proud of."

After saying that, she glared at Liu Haizhong. Wasn't she just looking for trouble? The two of them were having an affair, why did she have to make such a big deal out of it?

Life is hard enough as it is, and now this has to happen.

Liu Haizhong was willing to make a scene because he vaguely knew that Jia Zhangshi and Yi Zhonghai were both involved in something wrong.

It's just that I don't have any evidence.

Since we've encountered Jia Zhangshi cheating on her husband, we should definitely make a big scene. This way, we can embarrass Yi Zhonghai.

There is no loss for me.

He Yuzhu said, "I think we should report this to the police. There might be something we don't know."

Xu Zhaodi was furious. At this moment, Zhu Zi actually took advantage of her misfortune and bullied Da Mao.

"You idiot Zhu, you don't want to get better."

He Yuzhu chuckled. Xu Damao had wronged him before, so he wanted to say something to upset him now.

After discussing it, no one was willing to let him off the hook, so they decided to either send him to the police station and charge them with a crime of indecent assault.

Otherwise, they should get married.

"I don't want to," Xu Damao shouted.

"Then you'll have to be taken to the police station."

Xu Damao immediately lost his temper, opened his mouth but couldn't say a word.

Faced with the consequences of going to the police station, Xu Damao nodded, determined that even if he really married Jia Zhangshi, he couldn't go to the police station.

The matter was settled, and Xu Damao was to go with Jia Zhangshi to get their marriage certificate the next day; otherwise, the matter would be handed over to the police station.

After discussing the matter, He Yuzhu and the others came out. Although Xu Zhaodi was angry, she still got into the jeep.

He pinched He Yuzhu's waist and shouted, "Are you crazy? That's my brother!"

"Xu Damao needs to be disciplined."

He Yuzhu said, "After going through this, I should be more mature in the future. You can get divorced even if you get married."

But Xu Zhaodi was still furious.

He Yuzhu said, "I'm doing this for him. Think about why Liu Haizhong made such a big fuss. Wasn't he just looking for a show?"

"For so many years, Jia Zhangshi has been taking advantage of others every day, either beating this person or scolding that person. Who doesn't harbor some resentment? How could anyone possibly let her off so easily this time?"

Is it really as mysterious as you make it out to be?

"Didn't you see? Everyone's just pretending to be unlucky. Apart from Yi Zhonghai, who's speaking up for him?"

"But..."

“If we don’t do it this way, are we really going to send him to the police station? That would ruin Da Mao’s life.”

Xu Zhaodi felt a little better, sighed, and stopped talking.

The next day, around noon, He Yuzhu received a call from He Yushui, who said that Xu Damao and Jia Zhangshi had gotten their marriage certificate that morning.

He Yuzhu asked, "They probably won't be holding a banquet, right?"

"No, we won't do it. Xu Wude and his wife have moved out, and the house will be left for Xu Damao and his wife to live in."

Xu Wude used to call Jia Zhangshi his sister-in-law, but now she's become his daughter-in-law. No one can accept that.

That's better. So, how should we address Jia Dongxu?

Should we just call him grandson?

He Yuzhu then wondered how Jia Dongxu addressed Xu Damao.

He used to be my little brother who followed me around since childhood, but now he's become my stepfather.

I wonder what Jia Dongxu is feeling.

After getting off work, He Yuzhu didn't rush home, but instead went to the courtyard house again.
