He Daqing, do you know how I've lived these past years?

"Madam, if nothing unexpected happens, that fool Zhu should have severed ties with his father, He Daqing. The only problem is with his master."

"Just now, when I deliberately went to his house to inquire about the situation, Sha Zhu wanted to send the rainwater to his master's house so that his master's wife could take it."

Yi Zhonghai knelt on the ground and spoke respectfully to the wealthy old woman.

The wealthy old woman took a puff of her cigarette and exhaled.

"Zhonghai, if you're going to do something, do it thoroughly. Don't give them any illusions."

"Cooks rely on their skills to make a living. If their skills fail, then the entire city of Beijing is just so-so."

Yi Zhonghai nodded repeatedly and said:

“What you say is true, but his master knows all sorts of people in Beijing and Tianjin, and I’m afraid of alerting him.”

The wealthy old woman threw down her cigarette butt and kicked Yi Zhonghai on the head, saying:

"Go and tell Cuilan to come and massage my back. Then go outside and bring back a serving of Four Happiness Meatballs and braised pork. You're such a useless lackey. There are plenty of people starving outside the city; why bother with those hooligans from inside?"

Yi Zhonghai immediately stood up and left without saying a word.

After closing the door, he turned back and muttered a vicious curse in a low voice:

"Damn it, you just wait. Once I find out where you hid your money, I'm going to sell you out!"

When he got home, he saw that Cuilan had secretly hidden the steamed buns in a cloth bag, and he angrily went up to her and threw a large nose bag at her.

Seeing his wife lying on the ground, covering her face,

Yi Zhonghai said, his eyes blazing with anger:

"If you dare to give any of your family's grain to He Yuzhu and his gang, I'll ask you if you can take a beating. If you do it again, don't blame me for selling you to a brothel."

Upon hearing this, Cuilan was so frightened that she cried out:

"I understand. A woman should follow her husband wherever he goes, whether he's a chicken or a dog. I won't go looking for He Yuzhu anymore if you're not around."

Yi Zhonghai hesitated for a moment and said:

"Remember, if they ever get into trouble in the future, help them out in their final moments, but don't offer them financial assistance."

"Go to the backyard and serve that rich old lady."

Cuilan covered her face and hurriedly got up and ran to the backyard.

Yi Zhonghai also rushed out of the courtyard and headed towards the city gates.

……

"I've put the money right here: ten dollars for an arm, twenty dollars for a leg. You can choose. If you take the money and don't do the job, the fish in the moat will eat you up."

Several gaunt men stared at the thirty yuan in front of them, their greed growing ever stronger.

"Sir, just tell us who you want executed, and we'll handle it perfectly."

Yi Zhonghai sneered, gave the restaurant's address and a detailed description of Master He Yuzhu's appearance, tossed down 30 yuan, muttered a few words, and left.

Several men rushed forward and jostled each other for the few banknotes.

A few moments later, they entered the city, bought several meat buns, and squatted down by the restaurant.

As darkness fell, the men finally spotted a man who looked similar, but there was also a young man beside him.

Looking at the two men's large, muscular bodies, after some hesitation and discussion, they decided to wait until the two separated before taking action.

Half an incense stick later, the young man emerged from a courtyard with a little girl, while the target watched quietly from behind.

Once the young man and girl were out of sight, the men rushed toward the man who was still looking out.

"what"

"what"

With two screams, the two men at the front were knocked to the ground.

"This is a tricky idea, let's all work together."

Then several men rushed forward like mangy dogs.

"The Monkey Stealing Peaches"

"Black Tiger Takes Out the Heart"

"Wild Boar Collided with Peach"

"Two Hands, Thousand-Year Kill"

The burly man lay sprawled on the ground, one hand in front and the other behind, howling incessantly.

"Look at the chrysanthemums blooming all over the mountains and fields."

Each one is as beautiful as you.

……

Someone started humming this song, and the other men also squeezed their legs together.

At that moment, a man picked up a stone from the side and smashed it forcefully into the left hand of the man who was lying on the ground.

"ah""

A loud scream rang out, and a woman ran out of the courtyard.

Seeing her husband's miserable state, she screamed in panic, and the neighbors all opened their gates and came out.

The men were also flustered and hurriedly said:

"Hmph, we're He Yuzhu's family. We'll take care of He Yuzhu ourselves from now on. You don't need to play the good guy. If you go looking for him again, next time it won't be a one-handed affair."

After saying that, he hurriedly ran away.

The woman also cried out loudly:

"Please, everyone, save my husband! Help him to the clinic, I beg you!"

The bystanders rushed forward, lifted the man lying on the ground, and ran away into the distance.

Meanwhile, in a corner not far away, Yi Zhonghai, smoking a cigarette, chuckled as he watched the scene unfold.

"Silly Zhu, it's not that I, Yi Zhonghai, have wronged you, it's that old lady Fu is causing you trouble,"

As he spoke, he hurriedly ran towards Nanluoguxiang.

Now that things are done here, there are still things to take care of at home.

Soon, panting, Yi Zhonghai arrived at courtyard number 95.

He hurriedly knocked on He Yuzhu's door and said:

"Pillar, Pillar, open the door quickly!"

He Yuzhu, equally bewildered, opened the door and looked at the flustered Yi Zhonghai. Before he could even ask a question,

Yi Zhonghai shouted:

"Zhu Zi, when I came back just now, I saw several men grabbing your master and beating him. They even broke his arm. I heard them say they were from your mother's side."

He Yuzhu didn't believe it at first, but then she thought about how much her father-in-law cared for her, and how he must know that He Daqing and the widow had run away, and had come all the way from Tianjin to help him get revenge.

But why not go to Baocheng to fight He Daqing, and come here to fight our master instead?

Before he could think much about it, Yi Zhonghai's voice filled his walnut-sized brain.

"Go check on your master's house quickly."

He Yuzhu nodded, ran back to his room, and reported the rainwater:

"Grandpa, could you check on the rainwater for me? I'm going to my master's house right now."

He said this and hurriedly ran out.

Yi Zhonghai looked up, smiled, and turned to leave.

And the rain stood there all alone in front of the door, shouting:

"Grandpa, wait for me!"

However, the response was a loud "bang" as the door slammed shut.

He Yuzhu ran with all his might to his master's house, and the pool of blood not far from the door deeply shocked him.

"My father-in-law and his ilk are utterly despicable! Instead of going to find He Daqing, they actually injured my master. It's unforgivable!"

Lost in thought, I arrived at the courtyard gate.

He Yuzhu pounded on the courtyard gate, but no matter how hard he knocked, no one opened it.

At this moment, the neighbor opened the gate and looked at He Yuzhu, saying:

"Stop knocking, your master's hand is broken, he's at the clinic."

After expressing his gratitude, He Yuzhu was about to turn and run to the clinic when his teacher's wife came crying from a distance.

Seeing He Yuzhu, he angrily ran over, shoved He Yuzhu, who was standing at the gate, and shouted:

"What are you doing here? Came to see your master make a fool of himself? Get out of here, get out!"

After saying that, he opened the courtyard gate and slammed it shut.
