Courtyard House: Starting as an engineer, crushing a yard full of poultry

Page 156

"You two little brats, haven't you had enough of being punished by me? I didn't see you being this tough when I beat you until you were crying for your parents. Are you going to stand up for your father today? You should have heard it in the house, it was your father who started the trouble first."

He Yuzhu was fearless; he had already dealt with Yan's two sons more than once or twice.

Before Li Xiangdong came, he was known as the War God of the Siheyuan (courtyard house), and when he beat people, he would give them a good beating without any mercy.

They almost beat Yan's two sons so badly they ended up in the hospital.

"What? Isn't my father right? You came into the courtyard with that stench. Don't you know everyone is cooking dinner? How are we supposed to eat dinner if you come in smelling like that?"

Yan Jiefang naturally didn't want to fight He Yuzhu, because He Yuzhu was a ruthless fighter who would resort to dirty tricks when he hit someone.

He was beaten a lot when he was a child, and even when he grew up and had conflicts, He Yuzhu would use his fists to reason with them.

This psychological trauma didn't form overnight; it's accumulated over time.

If you can reason with someone, you should never resort to violence. If you do, you'll just get another beating.

"Even now, are you sure you still want to talk like this? What? Is your family the only one with so much trouble? Why don't other families say a word against He Yuzhu, but your family can't even eat?"

"Besides, what does it matter to me if your family can't eat? My family lives right here, you can't kick me out."

He Yuzhu was immediately displeased; indeed, like father, like son.

The father is completely unreasonable, and so is the son; they are both utterly unreasonable.

He entered the courtyard house without saying a word, but Yan Bugui kept talking to him.

Anyone would feel uncomfortable in that situation.

What does Yan Bugui have to do with me? I'm not his son.

“My father said this for the sake of our courtyard house, not for the sake of our family. Look, everyone keeps their doors and windows tightly closed, it’s all because you came in and the stench is disgusting to everyone.”

Yan Jiecheng quickly replied.

"I think your Yan family is just looking for trouble today. I have nowhere to vent my anger, so come here, you two, and I'll have a good talk with you."

He Yuzhu said fiercely, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked.

Seeing that He Yuzhu was about to hit someone again, Yan's two sons trembled and took a step back.

It's easy to imagine how deep their past psychological trauma must have been.

“He Yuzhu, (cgcb) I’m warning you, hitting someone will get you arrested. If you dare to lay a hand on someone, we’ll go to the disciplinary team right away. You have a job, and if you go in, it’s not certain whether you can keep your job.”

Yan Jiefang spoke in a trembling voice.

"Hmph, both sons in the family are cowards. They don't even dare to fight back when it's two against one, and they're still saying such things here. If you don't dare, then shut your mouth and don't mess with me."

After He Yuzhu finished speaking, he turned and walked towards his room.

The Yan brothers naturally dared not make a move, partly because He Yuzhu's fighting prowess was undeniable.

He was the most capable fighter in the courtyard besides Li Xiangdong.

The second reason is that the stench emanating from He Yuzhu is simply too overwhelming.

Even from a few meters away, I felt incredibly nauseous. If I got close, I might pass out from the stench before the fight even started.

"This brat is hopeless. When Yi Zhonghai comes back, I'll definitely teach him a lesson. This disrespectful He Yuzhu, come on, let's go back inside, it stinks."

Yan Bugui could only make a few words of mockery and dared not continue.

If you really anger He Yuzhu, that silly guy, you'll get a good beating from those three, and in the end, you'll be the one who suffers.

There's no need to make things difficult for yourself; this stench will dissipate in a while.

Seeing this, Li Xiangdong felt a little unsatisfied; how could such a good show end so soon after it had just begun?

I've been sitting here for a while and haven't seen anything. It's so boring.

He was hoping that the two Yan brothers would be tougher, so that if they started fighting, he could take advantage of the chaos to kick them a couple of times.

It's a pity that the two Yan boys have no temper at all; they only talk the talk but don't dare to take any action.

However, now that this has happened for the first time, it's likely that more and more neighbors will complain in the future.

Keep in mind that He Yuzhu had only just started cleaning toilets, and this kind of work would continue for three months.

Li Xiangdong returned to the kitchen. Fortunately, the doors and windows had been closed, so no smell had gotten in. The food was already prepared in the kitchen.

While eating, Li Xiangdong pondered his next plan.

Judging by the time, Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhangshi should be released soon.

Neither of them made any major mistakes in this matter, and they are both quite old.

They will definitely be released before the Lunar New Year so that they can reunite with their families.

After this incident, Yi Zhonghai will definitely be somewhat afraid of himself, but Jia Zhangshi may not be.

Given Jia Zhangshi's personality, she'll definitely provoke me again.

Regardless of who provokes them first after they come out, they'll deal with that person first.

In any case, the houses in the courtyard house will eventually belong to you; it's just a matter of order, so it doesn't really matter.

……

Yan family.

"You two brats are really useless. Your father has lost all face in the courtyard today. I really can't swallow this insult."

Yan Bugui said angrily.

"Dad, what can we do? The two of us can't beat him. Look at his attitude, he's clearly angry. You should avoid provoking him in the future."

"If that idiot really cripples someone, and it turns out he's genuinely stupid and irresponsible, wouldn't we have been beaten up for nothing?"

Yan Jiefang said in a low voice.

"I think it's that old man Yi Zhonghai who spoiled him. Yi Zhonghai has spoiled him since he was a child. Now look what's happened, his temper has grown a lot, and he's become arrogant. When Yi Zhonghai comes back, I'm going to have a good talk with him."

Yan Bugui said, still feeling indignant.

Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiecheng knew their father's temper all too well; he was just saying it for show.

At most, he'd just complain to an old man; he wouldn't get anything done.

Their personalities are exactly the same as Yan Bugui's: timid, cowardly, and greedy for cheap things.

There's absolutely no way to deal with someone like He Yuzhu who's unreasonable and solves problems with his fists.

To this day, they all believe that what they did today, as well as what Yan Bugui did, was correct.

The whole family was arrogant and condescending, which fostered this bad habit.

Always standing on a moral high ground!

Chapter 195 False Feelings - Qin Huairu

He Yuzhu returned home, took off his clothes, and without thinking much about it, rinsed his body with cold water.

The stench on my body had dissipated a little, but there was still a foul smell, which shows how terrifying the dry toilet was.

With no other option, He Yuzhu had to change his clothes and put the stinking clothes in a basin.

I was just about to go outside to get some more water, boil some, and soak the clothes.

As soon as he stepped outside, He Yuzhu saw Qin Huairu getting water there, so he quickly went up to talk to her.

"Sister Qin, I know it's definitely not your fault, it's all their problem. How could you possibly have a problem?"

He Yuzhu said with a grin.

To this day, He Yuzhu still believes that it was the factory leaders who, in order to protect their reputation, directly dismissed Qin Huairu.

This matter is known only to people inside the factory; no one outside knows anything about it, and they have also requested that it be kept secret.

This kind of scandal must not be spread, so in He Yuzhu's view, this was something the leader himself had caused.

In the end, it harmed Qin Huairu. The mindset of a sycophant is hard to understand.

Anyone with a normal mind can understand the reason behind this.

When Qin Huairu saw He Yuzhu approaching, she suppressed her nausea; the smell was simply indescribable.

In addition, Qin Huairu already harbored a deep-seated hatred for He Yuzhu.

It's absolutely impossible not to drain He Yuzhu of all his blood.

If it weren't for He Yuzhu's sudden appearance, I might still be able to continue working in the steel rolling mill.

The work isn't tiring, and I still get paid. What a great thing!

Now, I've become a temporary cleaner for the neighborhood office, earning only ten yuan a month.

To support a family with just ten yuan, they have to be extremely frugal, scrimping and saving, just to barely make ends meet.

This was under the condition that Jia Zhangshi was not present, and it was only after Jia Zhangshi came out that this happened.

These ten dollars probably wouldn't even be enough for Jia Zhangshi to squander. The more Qin Huairu thought about this, the angrier she became.

But his expression remained calm, without the slightest ripple. He absolutely could not lose his temper with He Yuzhu!

We must squeeze every last drop of value out of He Yuzhu before kicking him aside.

This is Qin Huairu's ultimate plan!
