Courtyard House: He Yuzhu started in 1948

On April 3, 1948, a battle ended in a complete victory for He Yuzhu's side.

Historically known as the Battle of Qingyun!

Looking back on it later, He Yuzhu never forgot the scene of Wen Chaolei flying up.

It was precisely because of this that the curtain was raised on his suppression by Tian Zao!

Wen Chaolei was thrown to the ground by Tian Zao, and then He Yuzhu delivered a powerful elbow to his stomach, rendering him unable to fight. He Yuzhu then mounted him and beat him mercilessly.

With the boss down, his underlings proved insignificant and were subsequently ganged up on and beaten by Da Yong and his men who arrived later.

Of course, He Yuzhu didn't let the three culprits, Xu Damao, Liu Guangqi, and Liu Guangtian, off the hook either, and let Dayong and the others beat them up.

Tian Zao and his friends had been in many fights on the street, so they were experienced. Tian Zao went home and got a bottle of alcohol, which he used to clean He Yuzhu's injuries.

He Yuzhu was initially reluctant to let Tian Zao help him wipe, but Tian Zao said, "I'm your sister!"

"Who said that?"

He Yuzhu would never admit it. Tian Zao pouted and, imitating He Yuzhu, shouted, "Sister Zao is awesome!"

"I didn't! Don't talk nonsense!"

He Yuzhu naturally defended himself, but he didn't stop Tian Zao from applying the medicine to him. He then asked Tian Zao, "You've practiced martial arts."

"Yes, my older brother taught me."

As Tian Zao applied the medicine, she laughed and said, "Want to learn? Call me 'sister,' and I'll teach you!"

"..."

Not satisfied with getting a good deal?

He Yuzhu was very angry, and also blamed himself for speaking too bluntly.

Why are you calling me "Sister Zao"?

……

At this moment, the courtyard was in complete chaos.

He Yuzhu was cornered at his doorstep by street thugs, the culprits being Xu Damao, Liu Guangqi, and Liu Guangtian.

Their parents were all called back by the people in the compound.

Xu Damao was alright; Xu Wude considered himself a civilized person and wouldn't lay a hand on him. But Liu Guangqi and Liu Guangtian were in a much worse situation. They were beaten up outside, and they would get another beating when they got home.

Liu Haizhong was so angry!

They've brought shame upon themselves right here at home. These two good-for-nothings, they were just beaten up not long ago, and now they're causing trouble again.

At Liu Haizhong's house, there was a great commotion of wailing and screaming. Meanwhile, Jia Zhangshi, heartbroken, scolded Jia Dongxu: "What were you doing, trying to be so brave? When you ran over there, you only thought of Zhuzi, didn't you think of your mother? If anything happened to you, how would your mother live?!"

Of course, I also feel sorry for that washboard, which is broken and I don't know who stepped on it.

Jia Dongxu didn't take it to heart; on the contrary, he felt extremely honored.

I can finally help Brother Zhu fight.

Brother Zhu was a real man!

As for Jia Zhangshi's lesson, Jia Dongxu didn't listen to a word of it.

……

In the backyard, Liu Haizhong, still angry after beating the child, hadn't finished venting his frustration.

The more I think about it, the angrier I get.

He slammed his fist on the table: "It's all Sha Zhu's fault! And He Daqing too! So many wild kids came to this perfectly good yard, turning it into a complete mess!"

"Get them out of here!"

As he spoke, Liu Haizhong went to the front yard.

He Yuzhu had just come out of the house after having medicine applied when he saw Liu Haizhong walking towards him angrily: "Hey, Uncle Liu? What brings you to my house?"

"You little brat, how dare you speak to your elders like that?"

Liu Haizhong immediately rebuked him, but then felt it was beneath him to argue with a mere child: "Where's He Daqing? Make him come out!"

"My dad isn't here."

He Yuzhu looked at Liu Haizhong with a displeased expression: "I'm in charge here now. Uncle Liu, just tell me if you need anything."

"Sure, I'll tell you!"

Liu Haizhong pointed at Da Yong and the others, and said, "They're not from this compound. Let them leave. I never want to see them in this compound again!"

Tian Zao was surprised that Liu Haizhong was targeting her and her brothers, and she immediately became unhappy.

Do I need your permission to go anywhere?

Besides, they weren't idle in the compound. The yard was kept spotless, which was their achievement. They would help anyone who needed assistance, as long as they could lend a hand.

Why doesn't it work for you?

Tian Zao understood why Liu Haizhong had this attitude; it was simply because he was furious that his son had been beaten.

But wasn't this something your son did?

What does this have to do with us?

Tian Zao was about to argue when He Yuzhu stopped her: "Uncle Liu, are you sure?"

Liu Haizhong answered decisively: "Absolutely certain, one hundred percent certain!"

"Uncle Liu, don't speak too definitively."

He Yuzhu didn't offer a single kind word, and directly said to Liu Haizhong, "Zao'er and her brothers are registered with Boss Lou, and the classrooms in the backyard were also arranged by Boss Lou. If you ask them not to enter this courtyard, will Boss Lou agree? Or is it that in this courtyard, Boss Lou's word doesn't carry as much weight as yours?"

"I……"

Liu Haizhong then fell silent.

He's still relying on Boss Lou's job. If he doesn't let the kids come, what will Boss Lou think?

He couldn't get promoted to deputy director without Boss Lou's approval!

What is my identity?

What is Yi Zhonghai's identity? What is He Daqing's identity? Would Boss Lou drive Yi Zhonghai and He Daqing away for his own sake?

"I don't have that kind of nerve!"

Thinking of this, Liu Haizhong's face turned pale and then red, looking extremely unpleasant.

But the words have already been spoken, and if I just leave like this... where will I put my face?

Blink... Will He Yuzhu give him a way out?

He Yuzhu wasn't going to give him a way out. Looking at Liu Haizhong, He Yuzhu directly threatened, "We live in the same compound, we'll run into each other all the time. I'll give you face and call you Uncle Liu, but if I don't, I'll bury you!"

He Baijinhan Yuzhu.

Xu Laoda's famous scene is particularly fitting at this moment.

Liu Haizhong was nothing more than a worker, no matter how big the problem seemed. He was startled by He Yuzhu's blatant threat and his cold gaze. He lowered his head and left without looking back.

Tian Zao looked at He Yuzhu: "Is it inappropriate for us to be here?"

"This courtyard was bought by Lou Bancheng to be used as staff dormitory. Liu Haizhong doesn't have the final say; he's just bullying us because we're kids."

He Yuzhu was furious that Liu Haizhong almost ruined his plan. These children, Tian Zao, were part of his "golden body" project. If they left like this, what would happen to them?

Despite her carefree attitude, Tian Zao is actually quite sensitive and has a very strong sense of self-respect. If He Yuzhu hadn't stepped in in time, Tian Zao and Dayong would never have entered the gate of No. 95 Courtyard.

While they were trying to comfort Tian Zao, the wails of Liu Guangqi and Liu Guangtian, along with Liu Haizhong's curses, echoed from the backyard.

Upon hearing this, He Yuzhu scoffed and said, "Did you hear that? He's just a bully who only cares about his own people. Don't take him seriously."

After being comforted by He Yuzhu, Tian Zao looked much better and stopped thinking about Liu Haizhong.

"I won't sweep the yard for him anymore."

"That won't do. Our classroom is in the backyard, and it needs to be kept clean."

"Oh, then we'll head back now."

"Go back for what? To study and learn to read!"

Boss Lou has already installed the electricity, so they don't have to pay for it. Why not take advantage of it?

"Before Boss Lou's inspection, make sure you learn to write your own name, and also the characters 'Lou Bancheng.' He's our benefactor; we have to give him the respect he deserves!"

"good!"

Tian Zao beamed with joy.

She preferred reading and writing to martial arts.
