Courtyard House: He Daqing Forces Qin Huairu into Marrying at the Beginning

"Old Yi, Jia Zhangshi is nothing but a dead old woman who doesn't even want her son."

The person who comes out howling at night probably has run out of money and food at home.

If you starve her for a few more days, she'll kick the bucket without you having to lift a finger.

Is it really worth sacrificing your future decades for a piece of trash who only has a few days left to live?

He Daqing advised with a stern expression.

With Jia Zhangshi's death, the perfectly good east wing will become a haunted house, and the entire courtyard will be affected, making it extremely unpleasant to live in.

At that point, He Daqing will have no choice but to find another place to live with his wife and daughter.

Housing is already scarce in Beijing; where can one find a place to settle down in the dead of winter?

"But how can my husband and I just let bygones be bygones after what Jia Zhangshi did!"

They've beaten her to this state; if we don't kill her, she'll probably come after us again to extort money.

It would be better to kill her than to suffer humiliation again.

A flicker of hesitation crossed Yi Zhonghai's eyes, but his raging anger still lingered.

"If you were really angry, you shouldn't have killed Jia Zhangshi with a stick."

That's too easy on her.

It would be better to spare her life for now and find ways to torment her every day.

Make her wish she were dead; that would be the only way to vent my anger.

Look at her cowardly appearance, she's afraid of dying too.

After getting through this ordeal, I definitely won't dare to cause you any more trouble.

You two just need to take care of the chores.

Chapter 45 Spare My Life

Listening to He Daqing's advice, Jia Zhangshi broke out in a cold sweat, her pupils dilated.

Although it's meant to persuade people to lay down their weapons, these words are just too chilling.

He kept Jia Zhangshi's wretched life hanging by a thread, so he could torment and amuse himself every day.

They won't even give you a quick death.

Anyone who can come up with such a wicked trick is simply a devil.

The stick, held high, froze in mid-air. Yi Zhonghai turned to look at his wife.

In an instant, the determination in their eyes faded considerably.

The reason why Yi Zhonghai and his wife were determined to destroy Jia Zhangshi was because they were filled with anger and could not get over the hurdle in their hearts.

If there were other ways to vent anger, there would be no need to escalate the situation to the point of causing death.

“Da Qing is right, Amin, let’s drag her out.”

Yi Zhonghai and his wife each grabbed one of Jia Zhangshi's legs and dragged her backwards.

They returned to the Intermediate People's Court.

"Boom" sound.

The wooden stick struck Jia Zhangshi's obese body again, but this time it didn't hit vital points; instead, it aimed at her thick thighs.

She may escape the death penalty, but she can't escape punishment. If Yi Zhonghai doesn't kill Jia Zhangshi today, he'll at least beat her half to death.

"Amin, you try a few moves too!"

After venting his anger, Yi Zhonghai handed the stick to his wife.

A kitchen knife is a dangerous weapon that can easily cause death; a stick is much more convenient to use.

Yao Min didn't say much, but picked up a stick and started beating people up.

His facial muscles tensed, his anger flared, and his murderous aura was palpable, completely unlike his usual gentle and kind demeanor.

Don't bully honest people.

Once an honest person explodes, they won't even give you time to apologize.

Jia Zhangshi, lying on the ground, let out a few muffled groans.

The weather was freezing cold, and with hunger and cold, coupled with her injuries, Jia Zhangshi was completely powerless to resist, like a fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of others.

"Crack."

The wooden stick, unable to withstand the attack, snapped.

Yao Min squatted down, picked up the broken stick from the ground, and continued her attack.

Suddenly a shout came from behind.

"Stop it! Stop hitting me!"

The newcomer was none other than Liu Haizhong, the local bully, who came with several neighbors carrying fire tongs to try and break up the fight.

The commotion in the middle courtyard was so loud that it could be heard in both the front and back yards.

However, each household was afraid of getting into trouble and dared not come to check.

In an effort to restore his prestige in the courtyard, Liu Haizhong forcibly dragged several men from the backyard to come and uphold justice.

"Old Liu, this is a private feud between the Yi family and the Jia family. Don't meddle in other people's business."

"Jia Zhangshi has repeatedly come to my door to curse me; today I'm going to teach her a lesson!"

Yao Min brandished the broken stick in her hand, her momentum only increasing.

This angered Liu Haizhong and the others, who froze in place, not daring to approach.

They might say a few words to demonstrate their morality, but it's absolutely impossible for them to risk their lives to save someone.

The person in the courtyard who would risk his life for Jia Zhangshi has not yet been born.

"Old Yi, you two calm down."

If the fighting continues, Jia Zhangshi will die.

He Daqing walked gracefully from the east courtyard.

While Jia Zhangshi is indeed despicable, the most basic principles within the compound must be upheld.

It would be terrible if neighbors were to kill each other.

The environment inside the compound was too dangerous.

The safety of family members cannot be guaranteed.

Let's limit the intensity of the dispute to avoid affecting everyone's normal lives.

"snort.

Jia Zhangshi, you're in luck today.

If they dare to cause trouble again, they will be beaten to death!

Yi Zhonghai cursed at the unconscious Jia Zhangshi on the ground, thus temporarily putting the matter to rest.

"Old Yi, you're the ones who beat him up."

You are responsible for handling the aftermath.

"Get her back inside first, don't let her freeze to death outside."

Many of Jia Zhangshi's bones were broken, but the most important thing now is to restore her body temperature.

Wearing only thin clothing in an open space and exposed to the wind will cause body heat to drop rapidly, leading to shock and death.

"Try to get him to the hospital for treatment and save his life. Don't let him rot in the hospital and disgust people."

You'll have to figure out the medical expenses and any other miscellaneous costs yourself.

Don't cause trouble for the people in the courtyard.

He Daqing looked at Yi Zhonghai and his wife and said calmly.

Whoever caused the trouble is responsible for it; He Daqing will not help Yi Zhonghai and his wife clean up the mess.

This could really disrupt He Daqing's daily life.

He Daqing will definitely take action against Yi Zhonghai and his wife.

"Understood, Great Qing."

We will handle it.

I'm sorry to have caused everyone trouble tonight.

My husband and I apologize to everyone.

Yi Zhonghai had no doubts about the verdict.

Do not kill Jia Zhangshi.

The couple will continue to live in the courtyard.

Having caused so much trouble and added to the burden on my neighbors, it will be very difficult to continue living like this.

"and many more!

"Yi Zhonghai, you've beaten someone up like this, and you're just going to let it go?!"

Just as Yi Zhonghai and his wife breathed a sigh of relief, Liu Haizhong felt he was back to his old self.

They quickly stepped forward to make their presence known.

The disrespectful behavior of Yi Zhonghai and his wife just now hurt Lao Liu's pride.

He has to do something.

"Old Liu, do you have any good ideas?"
