Immediately, Yi Zhonghai and the others scattered.
No one wanted to fight Chen Jianye to the death.
Besides, this was a grudge between the Deaf Old Lady and Chen Jianye; if they sacrificed their lives, it would be too unfair.
Liu Haizhong ran towards the Backyard.
Yan Fugui ran towards the front Courtyard.
The other Grandpas also scattered like frightened birds.
Jia Zhangshi ran like a rabbit, directly back into the Jia family's main gate, only peeking her head out to observe the situation.
Sha Zhu picked up a wooden stool that had fallen to the ground and threw it at Chen Jianye.
He, too, had bloodshot eyes, taking on a desperate stance.
Yi Zhonghai trembled with fear, his hands and feet retreating rapidly.
A familiar sense of dread resurfaced in his heart.
Fortunately, there was still Sha Zhu.
With Sha Zhu, the problem wasn't big.
A glimmer of hope also appeared in the Deaf Old Lady's eyes.
She had Sha Zhu.
Facing the stool Sha Zhu swung at him, Chen Jianye's lips curled into a sneer.
The original body had fallen under Sha Zhu's bench, but now, holding a knife and standing before everyone, he was terrifyingly strong!
He lifted his leg and delivered a fierce kick to Sha Zhu's stomach.
Sha Zhu, still clutching the bench, fell backward, dragging a three-meter-long mark on the ground.
The bench in his hand crashed heavily to the ground.
With a bang.
Everyone in the Middle Courtyard fell into an unspeakable silence.
Chen Jianye turned his head to look at the Deaf Old Lady, who was slumped on the ground.
“Jianye, let's talk this over properly.”
Yi Zhonghai's voice was trembling.
Chen Jianye had no interest in Yi Zhonghai, walking step by step towards the Deaf Old Lady.
The Deaf Old Lady trembled with fear, unable to utter a single word.
“I'm telling you all, whoever dares to curse my parents, no matter if they're some damn First Master or Old Ancestor, I will make sure they die a horrible death!”
“You old hag, try cursing one more time.”
Chen Jianye held the knife, its blade pointed at the Deaf Old Lady.
Since things had reached this point of stalemate, there was no need to mention any retreat or future developments.
If the Deaf Old Lady dared to curse, Chen Jianye was ready to decapitate her with one strike.
After that, he would settle all the grudges in the Siheyuan (Courtyard) at once.
Then he would run to Hong Kong.
Anyway, having committed heinous crimes in the mainland, no one could control him once he reached Hong Kong.
The Deaf Old Lady groveled on the ground, not daring to look at Chen Jianye, much less speak.
Yi Zhonghai, moreover, shrank back like a startled quail.
Fearing that Chen Jianye would go berserk.
“Is that all you've got?”
Chen Jianye sneered.
“Jianye, put the knife down first, let's talk this over properly.”
Liu Haizhong, who had run to the steps of the Backyard, said.
“Does your family's business have anything to do with me?”
Chen Jianye ignored the others, looking down at the Deaf Old Lady and asking.
“No relation, no relation.”
The Deaf Old Lady, still prostrate on the ground, quickly replied.
“What about my family's window?”
Chen Jianye asked again.
“I'll fix it, I'll find someone to fix it tomorrow.”
“How do you account for cursing my parents just now?”
“It's all my fault, my damn mouth just blabbered nonsense, I'll buy joss paper for your parents.”
The two exchanged questions and answers, very smoothly.
“Slap your mouth!”
Chen Jianye said coldly.
The Deaf Old Lady did not hesitate, slapping her own mouth.
Slapping sounds echoed in the Middle Courtyard.
Everyone was stunned.
They never expected the highly respected Deaf Old Lady, who was like an Old Ancestor in the Courtyard, to be like a bug before Chen Jianye.
Humbled into the mud.
“When I get off work tomorrow, I want to see results.”
Chen Jianye turned around: “Now I'm going back to sleep, don't bother me.”
Click.
As the Chen Family's main door closed, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
“Old Lady.”
Yi Zhonghai felt a surge of strength in his body and stepped forward to help the Old Lady.
Suddenly, he smelled a strong odor of urine.
Immediately, he felt very disgusted.
“Check on Sha Zhu, is he alright?”
The Deaf Old Lady said.
She was very aware of her own situation.
Tonight, she had completely lost face; if she stood up and let others see that she had peed herself.
From now on, she would become the Siheyuan (Courtyard) residents' laughingstock after meals.
“Alright, I'll check on Sha Zhu first.”
Yi Zhonghai walked over to Sha Zhu, squatted down, and checked on him.
“F-First Master.”
Sha Zhu clutched his stomach, struggling to utter a few words.
He felt as if his intestines had been kicked apart by Chen Jianye.
“How do you feel? Do you want me to send you to the hospital?”
Yi Zhonghai asked, reaching out to help Sha Zhu up.
The moment he moved, he smelled a foul odor.
This smell certainly wasn't from himself, so it could only be Sha Zhu.
“First Master, don't help me up yet, I feel better lying down.”
“Let everyone disperse.”
Sha Zhu said, enduring the pain.
He was also someone who cared about his reputation.
If others saw that he had been beaten to the point of defecating by Chen Jianye, how could he ever show his face in the Courtyard again.
Even children would laugh at him.
“Alright, you lie down.”
Yi Zhonghai stood up, a wave of sorrow washing over him.
His two major assistants.
One was scared to pee by Chen Jianye, and the other was beaten to defecate by Chen Jianye.
How could he continue this game?
At this moment, he also felt some resentment towards the Deaf Old Lady.
Originally, Yi Zhonghai had called the Deaf Old Lady over just to say a few words and criticize Chen Jianye.
He never expected the Deaf Old Lady to act on her own initiative, smashing the Chen Family's window.
Chen Jianye wasn't a turtle; how could he tolerate that?
“First Master, what do you think we should do about this?”
Liu Haizhong slowly walked over.
He sniffed, seemingly catching an unpleasant scent.
“Everyone, disperse. I'll send them both back later.”
“The matter in the Old Lady's room was definitely not done by Chen Jianye. It's late at night, let's hurry to sleep. We'll see about anything else tomorrow.”
Yi Zhonghai pretended as if nothing had happened.
“First Master, let us know if anything happens.”
“We'll check again tomorrow, we definitely can't let the person who did the bad deed get away.”
The Grandpas of the Courtyard, having watched an exciting show, all returned to their respective homes.
Soon, the Middle Courtyard became quiet.
Yi Zhonghai first escorted the Deaf Old Lady into her room.
When he returned to the Middle Courtyard, he saw Sha Zhu clutching his buttocks, struggling to walk towards his own home.
“Sha Zhu, can you make it?”
Yi Zhonghai called softly.
“First Master, I'm fine, you go back and rest.”
Sha Zhu, who had always been strong, replied.
Yi Zhonghai did not continue the conversation, returning home with his flashlight.
“How about you don't fight Chen Jianye anymore?”
First Aunt handed Yi Zhonghai a cup of hot tea.
With such a big incident outside and Yi Zhonghai out there, how could First Aunt sleep?
First Aunt had clearly seen everything that happened in the Middle Courtyard.
She was very scared.
Chen Jianye, in his ruthless state, truly had murderous intent.
Originally, Sha Zhu could still control Chen Jianye.
But now, no one knew where Chen Jianye had learned his martial arts; Sha Zhu couldn't even withstand a single move from Chen Jianye.
What's the point of fighting anymore?
“How am I fighting him? It's him... sigh, never mind, go to sleep.”
Yi Zhonghai gulped down a mouthful of tea, sighed, and went to lie down on the bed.
He was mentally exhausted.
His original intention was to worry that Chen Jianye would usurp his prestige in the Courtyard, and he didn't want to confront Chen Jianye directly.
So he specifically invited the Deaf Old Lady to step forward and give Chen Jianye a warning.
Yi Zhonghai had no idea how things had ended up like this.
He drifted off to sleep in a daze.
He didn't know how long he had slept.
Crash!
Bang!
The sound of breaking glass and a door crashing to the ground echoed in Yi Zhonghai's ears.
Yi Zhonghai thought he was dreaming.
