Courtyard House: My Wife is Xu Huizhen

Page 364

On Lunar New Year's Eve, He Yuzhu would bring the children to the courtyard to celebrate the festival with He Daqing.

When people have money, they don't care about many things; it can solve 99% of their troubles.

He Yuzhu was very filial to He Daqing, bringing him food and drinks every few days. After He Daqing returned, he never argued with him, and He Yuzhu never frowned whenever he needed anything.

Early in the morning, He Yuzhu was holding Xiuer and his son.

Xu Huizhen carried her small bag, leaving all her belongings in the car.

"Don't carry those heavy things."

Xu Huizhen said, "I don't feel any signs of pregnancy, so why are you saying you're pregnant?"

"You can't go wrong by listening to me. Do you think I wouldn't know when I planted the seed?"

Xu Huizhen reached out and slapped He Yuzhu, scolding, "Our daughter is all grown up now, don't speak so recklessly in the future."

He Yuzhu said nonchalantly, "Xiuer is still young."

He turned to Xiuxiu and asked, "Isn't that right, my sweet daughter?"

Xiuer nodded and then said, "I am Xiao."

Then he asked, "Dad, what is sowing?"

He Yuzhu's smiling face vanished instantly, and Xu Huizhen burst into laughter, bending over with mirth.

He Yuzhu angrily carried the two children into the house, told Yushui to take them first, and went out to bring in cigarettes, alcohol, pork, chickens, ducks, and other things.

Although the holiday was tiring, the family was very lively and busy together. He Yuzhu glanced at Xu Xiaomei and saw her rushing out, so he made an excuse to come out.

Seeing that he was heading towards the toilet, she followed him and pulled him into an alleyway.

"Oh my!" Xu Xiaomei was startled and cried out. When she saw He Yuzhu, she exclaimed, "You scared me to death!"

He Yuzhu asked, "Where are you going?"

Xu Xiaomei rolled her eyes, squeezed her legs together, and stomped her feet, saying, "I'm going to the toilet."

He Yuzhu held onto her arm tightly and said, "Close your eyes."

"You...what do you want to do?"

Seeing that he wasn't cooperating, He Yuzhu simply lowered his head and asked, "What do you think?"

As Xu Xiaomei watched the face getting closer and closer, she wanted to run, but He Yuzhu's hands had already pressed against the wall a step ahead of her.

Xu Xiaomei had nowhere to escape, and shouted, "I need to go to the toilet, I can't hold it in any longer!"

Just one kiss.

He Yuzhu had been feeling restless lately, and today was the perfect opportunity to have a taste of it, so that Xu Xiaomei wouldn't forget their complicated relationship.

Xu Xiaomei could clearly feel the passion emanating from He Yuzhu's nostrils. Her pretty face flushed, and she wisely closed her eyes, knowing that if she delayed any longer, she would wet her pants.

He urged, "Then hurry up and kiss me."

After saying that, she felt her face burning. When could she let He Yuzhu kiss her as he pleased?

He Yuzhu smiled slightly, and then his lips felt a warm, soft touch.

She didn't know how much time had passed, maybe just a moment, but Xu Xiaomei heard a cough coming from afar. Then, in a panic, she pushed He Yuzhu away and ran out of the alley.

He Yuzhu went around in the opposite direction and bought two ounces of cumin from the supply and marketing cooperative. Before he even entered the courtyard, he saw Xu Wude, who had a bruised and swollen face, walking towards him in the distance.

When I got closer, I noticed bloodstains under his nose that had been wiped away, and his sleeves were covered in blood.

Chapter 266 Hatred

Xu Wude said angrily, "I was just put in a sack and beaten up."

"What? Someone put a sack over your head? Can you see who it is?"

Hüwood nodded and then shook his head: "I didn't see who put the sack over my head, but I know there were two of them, one putting the sack over my head and the other hitting me with a stick."

He Yuzhu thought to himself, "Good job! Xu Wude is a real scoundrel. He deserved to be beaten."

Who told them to scheme against me before!

Right now, I'm only letting it go because of Xu Zhaodi and Xu Xiaomei.

Being stuffed with a sack was a way of getting revenge for himself.

However, he still pretended to be very sympathetic: "This is really unfair. They can't even let people have a good New Year on New Year's Eve."

At first, Xu Wude thought there was nothing wrong with what he said, but after thinking about it, he felt that something was not quite right.

Today is Lunar New Year's Eve, it's wrong to be beaten. Does that mean it's okay to wait until after the Spring Festival to be beaten?

He could only think this in his heart, but of course he couldn't say it out loud. So he cursed, "Don't let me find out who framed me, or I won't let them get away with it."

"We'll talk about this later. Let's go home and wash and dry ourselves first. Should we go to the clinic?"

Xu Wude shook his head: "It's just a little blood from the nose, nothing serious."

The two returned to the courtyard as they talked. Although it was a cold day, many people who came in and out saw that Xu Wude had been beaten and asked him questions.

Yan Bugui asked the most detailed questions, but Xu Wude really couldn't see who the other person was. However, when he heard that there were two people, his expression turned strange.

Then I looked at He Yuzhu, and like He Yuzhu, I guessed it was those two people.

There aren't many people who could hold a grudge against Hürwood, after all, he had just been released from prison and had been out of society for four years.

I haven't gone out to cause trouble these past few days, so I don't have any enemies.

Moreover, this time it was two people beating him together, which reminded me of Yi Zhonghai's two good-for-nothing sons.

Only the two brothers had the motive to seek revenge against Xu Wude.

He Yuzhu had already thought of everything. The Yi family had previously wanted to waive the 30 yuan monthly payment, but the Xu family was being unreasonable. After negotiation, they agreed that they would have to pay 10 yuan every month from now on.

This would be a burden for anyone's family. The two brothers weren't even married yet, and they were so angry that they beat up Xu Wude.

And today is Lunar New Year's Eve. I specifically chose this day to beat him up because I didn't want him to have a peaceful and harmonious Spring Festival.

He Yuzhu guessed it this way, Yan Bugui thought it the same way, and other quick-witted people who heard it also guessed that this was the reason.

Everyone guessed this in their hearts, but no one said it aloud.

After all, Xu Wude wasn't stupid; he was a shrewd person and wouldn't be unable to guess who made the call.

When Xu Wude returned home, Xu Zhaodi rushed to greet him, asking in surprise, "Dad, did you get into a fight?"

"I was beaten up with a sack over my head," Xu Wude said angrily.

"Was it covered with a burlap sack?"

As they were talking, the whole family came out of the kitchen. Xu Damao was furious. He turned around and went back into the kitchen, taking out a cleaver.

"What are you doing?" Zhao Di quickly pulled her aside and asked.

Xu Damao glared and said, "Sister, don't stop me, I'm going to chop that old bastard Yi Zhonghai up."

"Put the knife down."

Xu Zhaodi shouted, "Why are you going to jail too? Your father just got out, and you want to get shot? Have you forgotten about the time you chopped at the pillar with a knife?"

Schwold shouted, "Put the knife down!"

Xu Damao threw the knife to the ground in frustration, then returned to his room with a livid face.

After Xu Damao entered the house, Zhaodi asked, "Father, was it Yi Zhonghai's two sons who did the beating?"

"I didn't see anyone, but I can't think of anyone else besides those two bastards," Xu Wude said viciously.

After lunch, He Yuzhu and Yushui played with several children in the yard in front of the house.

This year's Spring Festival is on February 18th, which is much later than usual. It's not as cold as it used to be. The sun is shining brightly today, and it feels warm and cozy on my skin.

After playing for a while, Xu Wude came out with his younger sister, greeted He Yuzhu, and continued walking out. He saw Yi Zhonghai, the widow, and his two sons carrying things in front of them.

Yi Zhonghai was stunned for a moment. Although Xu Wude had been wiped clean, washed, and changed into clean clothes, his face was still bruised and swollen, clearly showing that he had been beaten.

Yi Zhonghai asked, "Old Xu, did you two have a fight? Why did it get so bad?"

Xu Wude was furious and shouted, "You two are the ones fighting!"

Xu Xiaomei's eyes blazed with fury at the sight of the Yi family members, and she immediately began to curse: "Hey, you surnamed Yi, don't pretend to be all righteous here. Wasn't it just your two bastards who beat up my dad?"

That wasn't the end of it; he followed up with a string of profanities, cursing the Yi family's ancestors for eighteen generations.

The white widow was displeased and immediately retorted with insults.

Yi Zhong shouted, "Stop it, everyone! Stop cursing! What's going on? Old Xu, aren't you going to do something about your third son?"

Xu Wude said angrily, "Old Yi, things have come to this point, and you're still pretending to be ignorant. The injuries on my face were inflicted by your son at your behest."

"You're talking nonsense, it's baseless," Yi Zhonghai shouted.

Yi Wending also jumped out and shouted, "You old bastard surnamed Xu, stop trying to smear us. Which eye of yours saw that we hit you?"

"It's you, who else could it be?"

“It’s not us anyway,” Yi Wending shouted.

The argument quickly attracted Jia Dongxu, who came out of the house and went to Yi Zhonghai's side, looking ready to step in at any moment.
