Siheyuan: Sap is the last word

The next morning, Scarface appeared in the courtyard again.

He was holding a chicken in his hand, the one that the Jia family lost last night.

"Ms. Jia Zhang, I caught your chicken for you." Scarface said with a smile.

When Jia Zhang saw the chicken in Scarface's hand, she was stunned.

"How...how did you catch it?" Jia Zhang asked puzzledly.

"Don't worry about it." Scarface smiled mysteriously, "Anyway, I've already caught the chicken for you, so you don't have to worry about it anymore."

Having said that, Scarface threw the chicken to Jia Zhang and turned to leave the courtyard.

Jia Zhang looked at Scarface's departing back, her heart full of doubts.

She always felt that Scarface was a little different this time when he came back.

......

Over the next few days, the Jia family's chickens would go missing every night, and then Scarface would return the chickens the next morning.

Jia Zhang was puzzled. She didn't know why Scarface did this.

That night, Jia Zhang decided to follow Scarface to see what he was up to.

She quietly followed Scarface to the back mountain.

Scarface came under a big tree and took out a box from the tree hole.

Jia Zhang hid in the dark, secretly observing Scarface.

Scarface opened the box, which was filled with various tools.

Jia Zhang recognized some of the tools, which were commonly used by tomb robbers!

Could it be...Could it be that Scarface is a tomb robber?

Jia Zhang was shocked, and she decided to continue observing...

He Yudong, or rather, he now prefers to call himself "King of Hell", stood at the gate of the courtyard with a ferocious smile on his face. After not seeing him for a few months, he was as thin as a bamboo pole, and the scar on his face was even more terrifying, as if a centipede was lying on his face.

"He Yudong? You...you are not dead?" Yi Zhonghai was the first to react. He pointed at He Yudong, his fingers trembling, as if he had seen a ghost.

"What's wrong? Yi Zhonghai, are you disappointed to see me alive?" He Yudong's voice was hoarse and low, like sandpaper rubbing against glass, which gave people goose bumps.

"You...you stole the chicken?" Jia Zhang squeezed out of the crowd, pointed at He Yudong's nose and cursed, "You bastard, you stole our chicken, do you still have a conscience?"

"Conscience?" He Yudong laughed as if he had heard something funny, his laughter full of sarcasm and hatred. "Jia Zhang, you're talking to me about conscience? You took my house away and forced me into a dead end, and you're talking to me about conscience?"

"Bullshit! You gave that to Qin Huairu voluntarily!" Jia Zhang stiffened her neck and refused to admit it.

"Voluntary? Haha," He Yudong sneered, "Jia Zhang, do you really think I'm stupid? If your family hadn't plotted against me, would I have given the house to Qin Huairu? Pah!"

People were talking about it, some thought He Yudong was right, while others thought he was just being unreasonable.

"He Yudong, stop talking nonsense here!" Qin Huairu stood up, looking aggrieved, "You gave me the house yourself, and now you regret it, do you still have the right?"

"Qin Huairu, stop pretending!" He Yudong pointed at Qin Huairu's nose and cursed, "I know exactly what kind of person you are! You are a vampire who sucks my blood and eats my flesh, and yet you pretend to be a white lotus! Ugh!"

Qin Huairu turned pale after being scolded, tears welled up in her eyes, and she looked pitiful.

"He Yudong, you...you've gone too far!" Uncle Yi Zhonghai stepped forward to smooth things over. "It's all over. Why are you still holding on to it?"

"Yi Zhonghai, stop pretending to be a good guy here!" He Yudong pointed at Yi Zhonghai's nose and cursed, "You are a hypocrite! You pretend to be righteous on the surface, but you do all kinds of things behind the scenes! Pah!"

Yi Zhonghai's face turned red from being scolded, and he was shaking with anger.

"Alright, stop arguing!" Second uncle Liu Haizhong stood up and said loudly, "He Yudong, we haven't settled the score with you for stealing the chicken yet!"

"Stealing chickens?" He Yudong curled his lips in disdain. "Those few broken chickens of your Jia family, are they worth stealing? I tell you, what I stole were not chickens, but retribution!"

"Retribution? What do you mean?" Everyone was puzzled.

"What do you mean? Haha," He Yudong sneered, "You will understand soon!"

After saying that, He Yudong turned and left, disappearing into the night.

In the next few days, strange things happened in the courtyard.

First, there was one of the Jia family's chickens missing every night, and it disappeared without a trace, not even a feather was left.

Next, Jia Zhang's money also disappeared.

Then came Qin Huairu's clothes, which were cut into pieces.

The last one was Bang Geng, who broke his leg for unknown reasons.

Everyone in the courtyard was in panic. Everyone felt that everything had changed after He Yudong came back.

They began to fear He Yudong and his revenge.

He Yudong hid in the dark, watching all this coldly.

He was like a ghost, wandering around the courtyard, bringing fear and anxiety to everyone.

That night, He Yudong came to the courtyard again.

He hid in the dark, observing the Jia family's every move.

He saw Jia Zhang sneaking out of the house with a cloth bag in her hand.

He Yudong followed quietly.

He saw Jia Zhang come to a remote corner and take out a bunch of things from a cloth bag.

With the help of moonlight, He Yudong could see those things clearly.

It's gold bars!

Jia Zhang actually hid so many gold bars!

He Yudong's heart moved, and a plan emerged in his mind.

He quietly approached Jia Zhang and prepared to implement his plan.

Just as he was about to approach Jia Zhang, suddenly, a voice sounded behind him:

"He Yudong, what are you doing?"

He Yudong turned around suddenly and saw a figure standing behind him.

It’s Qin Huairu!

Why is she here?

He Yudong was shocked. Could it be that she discovered his plan?

Qin Huairu walked closer to He Yudong step by step, looked at him with complicated eyes, and said slowly: "Yudong, I know you hate us, but...but...I..."

She suddenly stopped, and there was a hint of hesitation and struggle in her eyes.

He Yudong looked at Qin Huairu, his heart full of doubts.

What did she want to say?

Could it be that she...

At this moment, Qin Huairu suddenly threw herself into He Yudong's arms and hugged him tightly.

"Yudong," Qin Huairu's voice trembled, "I...I miss you so much..."

He Yudong was stunned by Qin Huairu's sudden embrace. Her soft body pressed against him, and the faint scent of powder penetrated his nostrils, making him feel a little dazed. What was this woman up to? Was this another round of her calculations?

"Yudong..." Qin Huairu rubbed against him, her voice as charming as a cat's meow, "I know you hate us, but... I can't help it..."

He Yudong sneered and pushed her away: "Don't try that! Do you think I'm still the same stupid Zhu as before? Will I let you control me?"

Qin Huairu staggered a few steps, her eyes instantly turned red: "Yudong, you misunderstood me! I...I really miss you..." As she spoke, tears rolled down her face like beads from a broken string.

"Miss me?" He Yudong mocked, "Do you want me to cook for you? Do you want me to work like a slave for you? Qin Huairu, what do you think of me?"

Qin Huairu cried bitterly: "Yudong, it's not like that... I... I really am..."

"What is it? Stop pretending!" He Yudong interrupted her impatiently, "I know exactly what you are thinking! Aren't you just trying to get some benefits from me because I got the system?"

Qin Huairu's body froze, her eyes flickered, and then she cried even louder: "Yudong, how could you think of me like this? I...I am true to you..."

"Shut up!" He Yudong shouted, "Your tricks can't fool me! I tell you, I, He Yudong, am no longer the same stupid Zhu as before! You'd better stay away from me, otherwise..."

"What else?" A cold voice came from behind.

He Yudong turned around suddenly and saw Jia Zhang holding a rolling pin and glaring at him fiercely.

"Okay, He Yudong, you are a heartless ungrateful bastard! You stole my gold bars, and now you dare to bully my daughter-in-law! I'll beat you to death!" Jia Zhang said, raising a rolling pin and hitting He Yudong.

He Yudong was prepared and dodged to the side, avoiding Jia Zhang's attack.

"Old hag, stop spitting blood! When did I steal your gold bars?"

"How dare you quibble! I saw you following me stealthily with my own eyes, and you still want to deny it!"

"Bullshit! I was just passing by!"

"Passing by? Who are you trying to fool? You thief! Robber! Evil-eyed wolf!" Jia Zhang rushed up again, cursing.

He Yudong didn't bother to talk nonsense with her. He took a step forward, snatched the rolling pin from her hand, and hit her on the butt with his backhand.

"Ah!" Jia Zhang screamed and fell to the ground.

"Old thing, if you dare to slander me again, I will make you pay for it!" He Yudong snorted coldly and turned away.

Seeing this, Qin Huairu quickly ran to Jia Zhang and helped her up: "Mom, are you okay?"

Jia Zhang covered her buttocks and grimaced in pain: "Ouch, it hurts so much! He Yudong, you bastard, I will never let you go!"

He Yudong ignored their shouting and walked straight out of the courtyard.

He did not go far, but hid in the dark, observing the Jia family's every move.

He wanted to see what other tricks the Jia family had up their sleeves.

Sure enough, not long after, there was movement in the Jia family again.

Qin Huairu came out of the house stealthily with a cloth bag in her hand.

She looked around furtively, then walked quickly to the backyard.

He Yudong followed quietly.

He saw Qin Huairu come to a corner of the backyard and take something out of a cloth bag.

With the help of moonlight, He Yudong saw the thing clearly.

It's a small box.

Qin Huairu carefully opened the box and took out a note from it.

She unfolded the note, looked at it carefully, then quickly stuffed the note back into the box, put the box back into the bag, and hurried out of the backyard.

He Yudong was full of doubts.

What's written on that note?

Qin Huairu is acting so sneaky, what is she doing?
