Courtyard House: My Wife is Xu Huizhen

Page 374

He Yuzhu was so angry he laughed: "Yi Zhonghai, are you blind? Did I throw that brick? It was clearly your precious son who threw it."

"That's because you kicked him away, that's why you knocked him down."

He Yuzhu said, "Stop making trouble here. You think I can't fight back just because your son hits me with a brick? You think I can't even kick the brick away? Besides, only those who hit people can aim accurately. Can you control your aim when you kick a brick away?"

This question left Yi Zhonghai speechless. He quickly called Yi Wensheng to help his mother up, borrowed a flatbed cart, and put her on it.

The most important thing right now is to get him to the clinic and treat the wound first.

Before leaving, he said to He Yuzhu, "You just wait, we'll settle the score when we get back."

Chapter 273 Foot Bath

"Fine, I'll wait. What are you afraid of?"

He Yuzhu was very angry this time. He Daqing had already said that he did not hit the person, but Yi Zhonghai did not believe it and insisted that He Daqing had hit the person.

Not only that, the two women, Widow Bai and Granny Zhang, used particularly foul language, which infuriated He Yuzhu.

Taking advantage of their age, the two men launched into a tirade of profanities, hurling insults at everyone from their ancestors to their relatives and friends, using all sorts of indescribable language.

He Yuzhu hates this kind of vulgar cursing the most; they have absolutely no bottom line.

He Yuzhu had used the force of Yi Wensheng's blow to precisely deflect the brick that hit the white widow.

However, the process was rather clever, and since it didn't directly affect him, it served as a small punishment.

Yi Zhonghai and his family have all gone to the clinic, and the neighbors who had gathered to watch the commotion have all gone home. He Yushui said:

"Brother, you were so awesome just now! That white widow bullies us and hurls awful insults at us."

He Yuzhu said, "That's a shrew. Don't be like her in the future. If she curses at someone again, tell me, and I'll slap her across the face again."

"Um, bro, are you alright? Do you think they might go to the police?"

"Even if I call the police, I'm not afraid. His son hit me with a brick, and I didn't even get a chance to fight back? He's only good at hitting people with his aim, how can he be good at fighting back?"

He Yushui was relieved and pulled He Yuzhu along, chattering away as they walked back.

Once home, I learned more about the incident.

He Daqing was truly unjustly attacked this time. He swore that he had never hired anyone to beat up the Yi brothers, Yi Yiwen and Yi Daqing. This was Yi Zhonghai trying to smear him.

He Yuzhu couldn't help but recall that Xu Damao had suddenly gone to his sister's house last night with a bruised and swollen face.

Not only did he ruin things, but he also clearly admitted to fighting with someone, though he didn't say who it was.

Combined with Yi Zhonghai's statement today that Yi Wending was beaten and hospitalized last night, He Yuzhu began to speculate.

Could it be that the people Xu Damao beat up yesterday were the Yi brothers, Yi Wending and Yi Dending?

Just a few days ago, Xu Wude was attacked with a club, and the killer has yet to be found.

He Yuzhu suspected that it was the Yi brothers who did it, and Xu Damao's desire for revenge was not without reason. However, he didn't know why Yi Zhonghai said today that it was He Daqing who did it.

Since that's the case, He Yuzhu made up his mind that Yi Zhonghai would definitely cause trouble again later, so he would go directly to the police to investigate the matter thoroughly, and it would be best to put Xu Damao in jail for a couple of days as well.

He beat up Yi Wending, and Yi Zhonghai came to settle accounts with He Da. It's outrageous! We can't let the perpetrator, Xu Damao, get away with it.

He Yuzhu said, "I'm not leaving today. Let's see what he says when he comes back. If it doesn't work, we'll go through the police. We have to get things cleared up."

He Daqing said, "Okay, if he continues like this, he definitely won't just talk about it. He will definitely find the police and make things clear."

He Yuzhu was relieved. The father and son went to the kitchen to cook and opened a bottle of Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor). After they finished eating, the Yi family did not return.

He Yuzhu went to the house in the front yard and had just poured out the water for washing his feet when the door suddenly opened, and Xu Xiaomei slipped in and then quickly closed it again.

He Yuzhu asked, "Why are you here?"

When Xu Xiaomei saw He Yuzhu preparing to wash his feet, she looked somewhat disgusted, but didn't say much. She simply sat down on the chair next to him and asked:

"I just wanted to ask what happened. Did the old man hire someone to beat up those two annoying guys?"

He Yuzhu did not answer the question, but said, "Come and wash my feet."

Xu Xiaomei wrinkled her nose and said, "I'm not washing it for you, you can wash it yourself."

"You've gone too far! Come here and wash my feet, or I'll dock your pay."

"Even if you deduct it from my salary, I won't wash your feet. Besides, if I don't wash your feet, what right do you have to deduct it from my salary?"

The factory manager wouldn't fire a worker for no reason, and besides, Xu Xiaomei wasn't afraid that He Yuzhu would really fire her, so why would she wash his feet?

He Yuzhu said, "Then I'll have you clean the toilets tomorrow. From now on, you'll be the toilet supervisor."

"you..."

Xu Xiaomei was panting heavily with anger, and the small pigeons inflated, making her clothes stand out even more.

He Yuzhu smiled, then got up and came to her side. Xu Xiaomei was about to run away when he pulled her into his arms, kissed her, and said:

Are you going to wash it or not?

Xu Xiaomei pouted and said, "You're so mean. I've never washed anyone's feet before."

"Am I someone else?"

"Hmph, of course you are someone else. You are not even my brother-in-law. We are just neighbors at best."

He Yuzhu reached out and patted her pert bottom, saying, "If you don't behave, you'll get a spanking."

Xu Xiaomei snorted, and then He Yuzhu led her to the foot bath. He sat down and put his feet into the foot bath.

Xu Xiaomei reluctantly squatted down, her face full of disgust. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "Let me wash your feet, but you have to wash mine too later."

He Yuzhu said, "Okay, it's fine. I'll wash you in a bit, is that alright?"

Xu Xiaomei then reluctantly bent down to wash He Yuzhu's feet.

He Yuzhu naturally lowered his gaze and began to appreciate the beautiful mountains and rivers of his motherland.

Two towering mountains suddenly rise abruptly from the foot of the gentle mountain, with little vegetation on them, only white clouds swirling around them, obscuring the beauty of the peaks.

You can only admire the scenery below the halfway point of the mountain, but even so, it is breathtaking and stunning.

He Yuzhu became deeply infatuated with her, forgetting even his own surname.

Xu Xiaomei asked with her head down, "I just asked you, what exactly happened today? Did the old man really send someone to beat them up?"

Xu Xiaomei witnessed the argument earlier and heard her parents talking about it when she got home. However, Xu Damao had gone to the countryside to show movies and hadn't returned yet.

Remembering that Xu Damao had also gotten into a fight yesterday, Xu Xiaomei had a thought: Could it be that Damao had beaten up Yi Zhonghai's cheap son yesterday?

But I can't discuss this with my parents; it's too suffocating to keep it bottled up inside.

When he came back from going to the bathroom, he saw that the light was on in He Yuzhu's room and that no one was in the front yard, so he hurried in to ask He Yuzhu what was going on.

Xu Xiaomei asked a question, but did not hear He Yuzhu's reply. She looked up and saw He Yuzhu with his eyes lowered, as if he was studying something.

Following his gaze downwards, I saw that it was my chest area, and I also noticed that one of the buttons on my shirt was undone, revealing a large expanse of skin.

Xu Xiaomei was immediately embarrassed. She put down the stinky foot she was holding, stood up with a red face, and shouted, "Stupid Zhu!"

If it were anyone else, He Yuzhu would have slapped them across the face, but he wasn't angry at all and asked:

Why are you calling me "Silly Pillar" again?

"Hmph, you know it yourself."

Xu Xiaomei was too embarrassed to say it outright, so she went behind the door to wash her hands, dried them, and then looked out the window. She saw that Yan Bugui was actually in the yard, so she didn't dare to go out, lest others gossip.

At this moment, He Yuzhu had already wiped his feet and washed his hands, and then hugged Xu Xiaomei from behind.

Xu Xiaomei was gently turned around and raised her hand to press on He Yuzhu's chest, but she couldn't exert any strength at all and was tightly hugged in his arms.

"Bad guy...."

After kissing her, He Yuzhu asked, "Do you want me to wash your feet?"

"No, I have something important to ask you."

Xu Xiaomei certainly wouldn't let him wash her feet, but He Yuzhu glanced at her and, seeing someone in the yard, said, "Since we're just killing time anyway, if you can wash mine, I can wash yours too."

Ignoring Xu Xiaomei's objections, he pulled her to sit on the chair, grabbed her ankle, and took off her shoes.

There was a small hole in the pink sock, revealing a cute toe. Xu Xiaomei blushed instantly and covered her face with her hands. She was so embarrassed today.

He Yuzhu laughed and said, "Are these little feet hungry? They're opening their mouths as if looking for something to eat."

"You still dare to say that?" Xu Xiaomei said reproachfully.

He Yuzhu asked, "I gave you 10 yuan a couple of days ago, what did you spend the money on?"

He Yuzhu wasn't a stingy person; he would often give Xu Xiaomei things, such as clothes, fabrics, various small pieces of jewelry, and food.

He would also give her some pocket money, or take her out to eat a nice meal.

Seeing that Xu Xiaomei was no longer so thin and frail, and that she had gained some flesh when touched, I could see that she was no longer so thin.

Don't be superstitious about the White Bone Demon. She may look nice, but she's all hard to the touch and has no flesh on her chest.

It's better to raise girls to be plump, so they feel fleshy to the touch and are very fun to play with.

Xu Xiaomei exclaimed, "My sister wore my socks. They belong to her and haven't been mended yet."

He Yuzhu simply said "oh" and didn't say anything more.
