Standing at the door, He Yuzhu was about to ask Xu Changping to knock on the door when he heard Xu Changping whisper beside him:

"Brother He, please wait a moment."

After he finished speaking, He Yuzhu saw Xu Changping effortlessly climb up the wall next to the courtyard gate in just a few moves.

Not long after, the gate of the courtyard was opened, and Xu Changping walked out. Seeing He Yuzhu standing there in a daze, he took two quick steps and said:

"Brother He, what's wrong?"

"No, it's okay." He Yuzhu was startled back to his senses by Xu Changping's voice and shook his head repeatedly.

Xu Changping didn't care what He Yuzhu was thinking. He pushed his bicycle and asked He Yuzhu to follow him.

When the two returned to the middle courtyard, the lights in the He family's house were still on. He Yuzhu turned around and said to Xu Changping apologetically:

"Brother Xu, I'm going to go home and say hello to your sister-in-law first."

"Brother He, please do as you please. I will be back first."

Xu Changping knew what He Yuzhu was thinking and said without much concern.

He Yuzhu watched Xu Changping leave, parked the tricycle, looked at the dirt on his body, sighed, and pushed open the half-open door.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw Bai Yingying, sleeping soundly on the table in the main room.

He Yuzhu didn't rush to wake anyone up. He first looked at the stove and found that the honeycomb coal inside was almost burned out, so he added two more pieces.

After refueling the stove, He Yuzhu thought for a moment and decided not to change the clothes that had several footprints on them.

He walked to Bai Yingying, gently pushed her, and said softly in her ear:

"Yingying, wake up, I'm back."

"Hmm~~ Zhuzi, you're back? What did you gain today?"

Bai Yingying said sleepily. She knew He Yuzhu was going to the small courtyard in the suburbs today, so she didn't care too much about his late return.

"Nothing to gain, nothing over there."

After He Yuzhu finished speaking in a low voice, he helped Bai Yingying up and prepared to let her go to bed to continue sleeping.

Bai Yingying talked to He Yuzhu for a few words and felt less sleepy. She half leaned on the bed and looked at He Yuzhu, ready to talk to him again.

Only then did Bai Yingying see that He Yuzhu was covered in dust and dirt, with several footprints on his clothes, which showed that he had been kicked by someone.

"Ah! What happened to you?"

"Don't shout, it's okay."

He Yuzhu quickly signaled to Bai Yingying, he didn't want to wake up everyone in the yard.

Bai Yingying knew what He Yuzhu meant, and immediately asked in a low voice with some anger:

"What happened? Who beat you up?"

"I don't know who did it. It can't be someone from your mother's family."

He Yuzhu felt a little regretful now. If he had known Bai Yingying would react so strongly, he should have changed his clothes.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Bai Yingying said:

"It's possible that they did it."

"What? Are you able to predict?"

He Yuzhu joked with a smile.

Seeing He Yuzhu's indifferent look, Bai Yingying said seriously:

"I'm serious. Maybe they hired someone to do it."

"How to say."

Seeing that Bai Yingying was so sure, He Yuzhu's expression became serious.

Originally he was just a little skeptical, but he didn't expect Bai Yingying to be so sure.

"A few years ago, there was a guy who was competing with my dad for the position of director. He had his legs broken when he was returning home in the middle of the night. I later overheard that it was my brother who hired someone to do it."

Bai Yingying said with a look of fear on her face.

She felt a little unwell that day, so she didn't go to school and stayed in bed at home. Unexpectedly, when she went out to drink water, she accidentally heard the other party talking about this with Zhou Caixia.

She didn't know what was going on at the time, so she didn't dare to say anything and quietly retreated back to her room.

Thinking about it now, I am really scared. If she had been discovered at that time, she might not even have the chance to get married.

"It's okay. I just wasn't paying attention today and got ambushed. If I were facing a head-on attack, I wouldn't be afraid of ordinary thugs."

He Yuzhu saw that Bai Yingying's voice was trembling when she spoke, so he hurried forward to hug her and comfort her.

"You must pay attention to your own safety, understand?"

Bai Yingying looked up at He Yuzhui, her eyes looking at him with dependence.

In fact, ever since Bai Yingying found out that the Bai family had attacked her, she has been terribly scared. Fortunately, He Yuzhu protected her, otherwise she didn't know what would happen.

"Don't worry, I will pick up the skills I left behind tomorrow. Your husband is very capable." He Yuzhu saw that she was still a little uneasy, so he smiled and comforted her.

Although Bai Yingying was still worried, she couldn't help much, so she nodded obediently.

He Yuzhu held Bai Yingying in his arms and comforted her for a while before letting her lie down in bed. He started to tidy up the corner of the quilt for her and said softly:

"Okay, go to sleep first. I'm going to go to Xu Changping's house."

Bai Yingying felt sleepy again. She stretched her hands out from under the quilt, grabbed the corner of He Yuzhu's clothes, and asked in a low voice:

"What to do?"

"I'll go take care of the wound and be back soon."

He Yuzhu had no choice but to take her little hand in his palm, squeeze it and then stuff it back into the quilt.

"Then go quickly, I'll wait for you to come back and then we can sleep together."

After hearing what He Yuzhu said, Bai Yingying tried hard to open her eyes which were filled with tears due to sleepiness.

"Be good~" He Yuzhu touched her head, then got up and left the room.

Bai Yingying didn't expect that no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't resist the attack of sleep and fell asleep the next second after she finished speaking.

He Yuzhu couldn't help laughing when he saw her falling asleep in a second.

dong dong dong~

"Brother Xu, I'm here."

Arriving at the east courtyard, He Yuzhu gently knocked on the door of Xu Changping's house.

He didn't have to wait long before Xu Changping opened the door.

"Brother He is here, come in quickly."

"Brother Xu, when did you get a cat?"

As soon as He Yuzhu entered the door, he saw a three-flowered cat circling around Xu Changping's feet and said with a smile.

"I've been raising it for a while, and it came here on its own."

Xu Changping glanced at the system that was acting like a spoiled child at his feet and said helplessly.

When He Yuzhu was not here just now, this little system was pestering him, insisting that he go out for a walk during his rest time tomorrow to see if he could come across some points that would be delivered to him.

He had already made plans and wanted to find out if there were any books related to Feng Shui.

Look, what He Yuzhu saw was the small system trying hard to please him and make him change his mind.

"Then it has a connection with you." He Yuzhu squatted down, touched the cat twice with his hands, and said with envy.

He was a cat lover in his previous life, but unfortunately after coming to this world, he never found a chance to keep one.
