Jia Zhangshi was still furious and wanted to continue her antics, so she pointed at He Daqing and shouted.

"Pay up!"

"He Daqing, you bastard, you injured my child and you have to pay for our medical expenses!"

"Great Qing, they're all like this, for Old Jia's sake, you..."

Yi Zhonghai was somewhat dissatisfied with He Daqing's overbearing attitude, so he stepped forward to speak up for him.

He Daqing turned and glared at Yi Zhonghai, his sharp gaze forcing him to back away.

He then clenched his fist and slowly said to Jia Zhangshi, "You still want to get beaten up, don't you?"

The fierce aura intimidated Jia Zhangshi, who immediately lost her temper and sat on the ground, not daring to utter a single word.

Once the commotion was over, the onlookers all went back inside, and not one of them came out to help Jia Zhangshi and her son.

They kept to themselves, knowing full well what kind of person Jia Zhangshi was, and they didn't want to be extorted.

In the end, it was Yi Zhonghai and his wife who helped Jia Dongxu and the others home.

"That He Daqing deserves to be cut into a thousand pieces..."

Jia Zhangshi continued to chatter on and on the way.

Yi Zhonghai couldn't stand it any longer and said, "That's enough, stop talking."

Don't you know who He Daqing is?

Why provoke him?

If Yi Zhonghai didn't have no children and instead relied on Jia Dongxu as a guarantee for his retirement, he wouldn't want to deal with these two idiots.

They didn't even consider their own strength before daring to provoke He Daqing.

Getting a beating is the least of your worries; it'll teach them a lesson.

Back inside, He Daqing lit the stove, took out the leftovers he had packed and heated them up, and the aroma of meat immediately filled the room.

"Rain, come and eat."

After reheating the steamed buns, He Daqing called his daughter over to eat.

He Yushui is always overjoyed whenever there is something delicious to eat.

However, today was rather dull, and I slowly moved my feet to the dining table.

"Dad, I won't stop you from getting married, but could you please not abandon me?"

The harm done to He Yushui by Jia Zhangshi is clearly not so easy to erase.

Thinking about this, He Daqing felt very distressed.

We still need to find a capable woman to manage the household, otherwise there will be no one to take care of things during the rainy and calm days.

Yi Zhonghai and his wife are really unreliable.

"Even if Dad remarries, he won't abandon you and Yuzhu, so don't worry."

"Sweetie, eat more."

He Daqing rubbed Yushui's head and added a piece of beef to her bowl.

With her father's assurance, He Yushui finally felt at ease.

The father and daughter ate their dinner in silence.

He Daqing ate while pondering.

To live peacefully and comfortably in a courtyard house, one must plan carefully.

In the decades that followed, the Jia family was the one that caused the most trouble in the courtyard house.

Especially after Jia Dongxu's unexpected death and Qin Huairu's rise to prominence, the schemes of the birds in the courtyard became active, and troubles came one after another, with no peace and quiet for a single day.

The most crucial one among them is Qin Huairu.

Without Qin Huairu's mediation, the Jia family's meager resources were no match for He Daqing.

Since Jia Dongxu is still unmarried, He Daqing decides to intercept Qin Huairu and turn enemies into friends.

"Rain, Dad is usually busy with work and doesn't have time to take care of you."

How about Dad finds an older sister to take care of you?

He Daqing decided to be open and honest, and let the rainwater prepare itself.

"Dad, we'll listen to you."

After what's happened these past few days, Rainwater has become much more accepting of things.

I wasn't that opposed to He Daqing getting married.

Having multiple stepmothers is better than having your biological father run away.

He Daqing was pleased that his daughter was so sensible, and he put another piece of meat in Yushui's bowl.

The father and daughter had just finished eating when they suddenly heard footsteps outside.

Yi Zhonghai pushed open the door and entered, greeting He Daqing.

"Da Qing, come out for a moment, I need to talk to you."

After settling his daughter in, He Daqing put on his clothes and followed her outside. He wanted to see what tricks Yi Zhonghai could pull.

Arriving at the wall of the central courtyard, Yi Zhonghai sighed first, gathering his sorrowful and helpless emotions before slowly speaking.

"In the Qing Dynasty, it was a few years after Old Jia passed away."

It wasn't easy for Jia Zhangshi to raise Xudong all by herself.

What you did today was not fair.

Respect for the dead is paramount, and Yi Zhonghai immediately invoked Lao Jia's name, intending to suppress He Daqing's arrogance with moral principles.

Everyone says that Yi Zhonghai is a moral gentleman, and he is very skilled at seizing the moral high ground.

Unfortunately, He Daqing wasn't buying it at all.

“What I did was not right, but it is right for an adult like Jia Zhangshi to bully my daughter.”

I'll be lenient by beating them up.

"If you don't believe me, go out and find someone to judge this. How can someone be so immoral?"

Yi Zhonghai quickly changed the subject, avoiding the main point.

"Jia Zhangshi is an ignorant woman."

How can a grown man like you argue with a woman?

It's ultimately wrong of you to hit a woman.

"All I know is that Jia Zhangshi is an adult, and it's wrong for an adult to bully a child."

My child was bullied, and I'm not even allowed to fight back? What kind of logic is that?

He Daqing retorted directly.

It's absolutely impossible to make him back down after what happened today.

You can't get your way with your fists, and you certainly can't get it back with your words.

"You...you really are..."

He Daqing remained stubborn and unyielding, and Yi Zhonghai felt that further discussion was pointless, so he simply laid his cards on the table.

"Yu Shui was unharmed, but Jia Zhangshi and Dongxu were seriously injured."

You have to pay for the medical expenses eventually.

"What a joke! They did such good deeds, yet they dare to ask me for medical expenses."

I could give them another beating.

"If you're not satisfied, come and talk to me."

He Daqing spoke in an unfriendly tone and began to rub his hands together in anticipation.

The lower strata of society are places where the light of law and morality cannot reach.

To survive in the lower rungs of society, you really need a bit of ruthlessness.

Blindly giving in will only embolden those cowardly scoundrels who prey on the weak and fear the strong, gradually squeezing out the living space of kind people.

As the saying goes, "A good start prevents a hundred more."

Today, by forcefully suppressing Jia Zhangshi, He Daqing is trying to show everyone in the courtyard that he, He Daqing, is not someone to be trifled with.

Anyone who wants to trip him up should think twice.

"We're all neighbors, do you really want to make a scene like that?"

Making a scene like this will be bad for everyone.

Yi Zhonghai continued to exert pressure by bringing up the collective affairs of the compound.

For the sake of future elderly care, Yi Zhonghai needs to control the situation in the hospital as much as possible and build a culture and order that respects and cares for the elderly.

He Daqing is an unstable factor and a huge hidden danger.

Yi Zhonghai had no choice but to find a way to counter it.

Chapter 6 House Purchase

"They brought this on themselves, how can they blame me?!"

If they keep making trouble, they'll be the ones who suffer. Just wait and see!

I'm going to sleep now, don't bother me unless it's absolutely necessary.

He Daqing simply turned and left.
