Siheyuan: Sap is the last word

"Jia Dongxu? Humph, is he worthy? When I get tired of playing with you, I will push his head into the toilet and let him see how his precious sister-in-law is... "

Before He Yudong could finish his words, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in the back of his head, his vision went dark, and he passed out.

"Yu Shui, are you okay?" A familiar voice came. He Yu Shui opened her eyes and saw Jia Dongxu's anxious face.

"Brother-in-law, why are you here?" He Yushui cried with joy and hugged Jia Dongxu as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.

"I was going home from get off work when I saw He Yudong sneakily pulling you into the haystack. I guessed he was going to do something bad to you, so I followed him." Jia Dongxu explained, his eyes burning with anger. "I'm going to teach this beast a lesson today!"

Jia Dongxu said, picked up a brick from the ground, and smashed it hard on He Yudong's head...

He Yushui held the big unity note, and felt that the money was like a branding iron, burning her palms. She knew that her brother was abnormal today, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.

"Could it be that I have really been bewitched by that vixen Qin Huairu?" He Yushui muttered to himself, but his feet involuntarily walked towards the central courtyard.

At Qin Huairu's house, He Yudong was sitting on the table with his legs crossed, humming an unknown tune.

"Hey, isn't this our little Princess Yushui? How come you are willing to come back from your brother's house?" Qin Huairu's sarcastic voice came from the inner room, with a barely perceptible hint of jealousy in her tone.

"My brother asked me to tell you something..." Before He Yushui could finish her words, Qin Huairu pulled her into the house.

"Little aunt, you are finally here. Has your brother left?" Jia Zhang cried with snot and tears, "Ever since your brother beat Xu Damao last time, that bastard has been coming to my doorstep every day to curse and even threaten to take revenge on my family. How can an old man like me stand his torture?"

He Yushui couldn't stand Jia Zhang's behavior the most. It was obviously her son's fault that he was lazy and gluttonous, but she blamed others instead.

"Okay, Grandma Jia, my brother said that next time Xu Damao comes, he will beat him again!" He Yushui said impatiently and wanted to turn around and leave.

"Hey, wait!" Qin Huairu grabbed He Yushui, with a flattering smile on her face, "Yushui, it's getting late, why don't you stay here for the night? Your brother will come here tonight anyway..."

Qin Huairu deliberately lowered her voice and glanced at He Yushui ambiguously.

He Yushui suddenly got goosebumps all over her body. She finally understood what Qin Huairu was planning. She wanted to use her as a shield!

"No, I don't want to disturb you!" He Yushui shook off Qin Huairu's hand and turned away.

"Hey, kid, how can you talk like that!" Qin Huairu's smile froze and she cursed in a low voice.

"Yushui, wait for me!" He Yudong chased out and grabbed He Yushui's hand, "Why are you leaving so soon? I still have something to tell you!"

He Yushui shook off He Yudong's hand and said coldly, "If you have anything to say, just say it here. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first!"

After saying that, he ran out without looking back, leaving He Yudong standing there alone, with a look of surprise on his face.

"What's wrong with this girl today?" He Yudong was confused and had no idea how he had offended He Yushui.

Little did he know that all this was thanks to his "good sister-in-law".

After returning home, He Yudong felt uneasy and always felt that something was going to happen.

"Ding! Random mission updated: Expose Qin Huairu's true identity! Mission reward: System experience +500, monetary reward: 500 yuan, special reward: Mind-reading advanced card!"

The system's voice sounded in his mind, and He Yudong was stunned.

"Expose Qin Huairu's true face? Could it be..." He Yudong suddenly remembered the words he heard at Qin Huairu's house during the day, as well as He Yushui's abnormal attitude, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Could it be that Qin Huairu was really hiding something from me?

Thinking of this, He Yudong could no longer sit still, and he decided to find someone to ask clearly.

The first person he thought of was the famous "busybody" in the courtyard - the third uncle Yan Bugui.

"Uncle, are you home?" He Yudong knocked on Yan Bugui's door.

"Who is it?" Yan Bugui's vigilant voice came from inside the door.

"It's me, Yudong."

"Oh, it's Yudong, come in."

He Yudong pushed the door open and saw Yan Bugui sitting at the table, holding a tattered book in his hands, reading with great interest in the dim light.

"Yudong, it's so late, what's the matter with you coming here?" Yan Bugui put down the book and asked with a smile.

"Uncle, I want to ask you something..." He Yudong lowered his voice, leaned close to Yan Bugui's ear, and expressed his doubts.

"What?!" Yan Bugui's face suddenly changed when he heard this, "Are you telling the truth?"

"It's absolutely true!" He Yudong said with certainty, "I heard it with my own ears today!"

Yan Bugui was silent, his brows furrowed, as if he was weighing something.

"Uncle, just tell me. I promise I won't tell anyone!" He Yudong said anxiously.

"Hey..." Yan Bugui sighed and lowered his voice and said, "Since you know everything, then I will tell you... In fact, Qin Huairu..."

Before Yan Bugui finished speaking, there was a sudden knock on the door, followed by a panicked voice:

"Uncle, something bad has happened! Jia Zhang... Jia Zhang... "

"Uncle, something bad has happened! Jia Zhang... Jia Zhang... "

The person who came was an old lady from the courtyard. She was out of breath and her face was pale, as if she had seen a ghost.

Yan Bugui hated being interrupted, especially when someone interrupted him without any reason. He slammed the table, puffed his beard and glared, "What are you yelling about! What happened to Jia Zhang? Can Jia Zhang go to heaven?"

The aunt took a breath and pointed at He Yudong, saying in a horrified tone: "Jia Zhang... Jia Zhang... said... that Yudong was..."

"What do you say about me? You say I'm a jinx who brought death to my parents?" He Yudong sneered in his heart. This Jia Zhang is really a dog's mouth that can't spit out ivory!

"Puh, puh, puh!" Yan Bugui interrupted immediately after hearing what he was saying, "Auntie, please speak properly and stop talking nonsense!"

The first lady swallowed her saliva, lowered her voice, and said in a volume that only the three of them could hear: "Jia Zhang said that Yudong is... the landlord's... illegitimate son!"

"what?!"

He Yudong and Yan Bugui exclaimed at the same time.

He Yudong only felt a buzzing sound in his head, as if he was struck by lightning, and he was completely stunned.

illegitimate child?

The illegitimate son of a landlord? !

How can this be? !

He grew up in a courtyard house and his parents were workers in a steel mill. How could he be related to the landlord?

Moreover, his father died early, and his mother raised him with great difficulty. If he was an illegitimate child of a landlord, then his mother...

He Yudong didn't dare to think any further. He just felt his vision going dark and his body was shaking.

"Yudong, are you okay?" Yan Bugui saw that He Yudong's face was not right, and quickly supported him.

He Yudong took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. He grabbed Yan Bugui's arm and asked anxiously, "Uncle, are you telling the truth?"

Yan Bugui shook his head, then nodded, and said with a complicated expression: "This matter... I have only heard some rumors, and I don't know whether it is true or not..."

"Rumors? What rumors?" He Yudong asked.

Yan Bugui sighed and said slowly: "This matter has to start with your father..."

"Uncle, it's bad! Something happened! Jia Zhang... Jia Zhang she..." The person outside the door was out of breath and could not speak clearly.

Upon hearing this, Yan Bugui didn't bother to explain it to He Yudong in detail. He quickly opened the door and grabbed the person who came in. "Why are you so panicking? Tell me slowly. What happened to Jia Zhang?"

The man who came was Yi Zhonghai, a senior official in the courtyard. His face turned pale and his lips trembled as he said, "Jia Zhang... Jia Zhang... hanged herself!"

"What?!" Yan Bugui and He Yudong exclaimed at the same time.

"It's in their yard, on the locust tree..." The old man's voice was trembling, and he was obviously scared.

He Yudong suddenly felt his mind go blank. Jia Zhang hanged herself? How could this happen?

His first reaction was to go see Qin Huairu. He didn't bother to talk to the two old men and ran to the Jia family.

The Jia family's yard was already filled with people, and it was noisy, with cries, shouts, and discussions mixed together like a boiling pot.

He Yudong squeezed into the crowd and saw at a glance a white figure hanging on the old locust tree in the Jia family's yard. It was Jia Zhang.

Qin Huairu slumped under a tree, her hair disheveled, her eyes lifeless, and she muttered something to herself, not knowing whether she was crying or shouting.

Banggeng and Huaihua hid behind Qin Huairu, trembling, but Xiaodang was nowhere to be seen.

"When did this happen?" He Yudong grabbed a neighbor and asked.

“Just now, an old man went to call Jia Zhang to dinner, and found out that she…” The neighbor lowered his voice, pointing at the locust tree with a horrified expression on his face.

He Yudong felt dizzy. He never thought that things would develop to this point.

Jia Zhang's death was undoubtedly a huge blow to him. Although he had always disliked Jia Zhang, and even hated her, they were neighbors for many years after all, and now that she died suddenly, he could not help but feel sad and regretful.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for triggering the special mission: Find out the cause of Jia Zhang's death! Mission rewards: System experience points +1000, monetary reward: 1000 yuan, special reward: a random skill draw!"

The system's voice sounded in his mind. He Yudong was stunned at first, and then his heart moved. Yes, was Jia Zhang's death really as simple as suicide?
