Not long after, Yu Qiaoshan's cry came from the courtyard, "What are you doing? Stop!"
Then there was the sound of something being smashed. Yu Jiao stopped writing and frowned, saying, "I'll go out and take a look."
Yu Qizhe stood up and walked out of the house with her.
The yard was in chaos. Seven or eight burly men were hitting and smashing things in the yard. Yu Qiaoshan was pushed aside. The water tank in the corner had been smashed to pieces, and the clothes drying on the rope rack were torn off and thrown all over the floor.
When Song, who came out of the kitchen, saw this scene, she was shocked and stood there blankly, not knowing what to do.
Yu Ruhai and Yu Hanshan hurried out of the main hall. Seeing the mess in the courtyard, they asked fearfully, "Who are you? Are there any laws against breaking into the courtyard and destroying things in broad daylight?"
The leading man spat at Yu Ruhai fiercely, "Bah! This old man who harms people is the one who harmed our old man. Beat him up!"
Yu Ruhai had just recognized that the man was the servant who had followed He Dongsheng that day. Before he could say anything, several men who were throwing things in the yard came towards him aggressively.
One of them rolled up his sleeves, grabbed Yu Ruhai's collar, raised his hand and swung his fist to hit him in the face.
Seeing this, Yu Hanshan, who was standing by, was so frightened that his legs went limp and he hid behind Zhao.
Yu Mengshan was close by, and he rushed to Yu Ruhai quickly and blocked the punch for him.
Yu Qiaoshan was quite strong. Seeing that this group of people were going to beat up his father, he used all his strength to overturn the people who were holding him down, grabbed the hoe at the corner, shouted loudly, and started swinging it with great force. In a short while, he forced several people to retreat.
He protected Yu Ruhai behind him and shouted, "If you have anything to say, just talk it out. Do you want to get into the government office by hitting people and throwing things? If my Yu family has offended you in any way, just speak out openly!"
"The law? If someone kills our old man, he must be beaten to death to pay with his life. This is the law of our He family!" The servant in a long gown was actually the housekeeper of the He family. He raised his hand and pointed at Yu Ruhai, saying sinisterly.
Yu Ruhai was frightened to the point that his scalp went numb and he leaned on Yu Mengshan tremblingly. He was still in shock. After hearing what the man said, he immediately realized that something was wrong. He thought that the old man from the He family who had come to see him for a head carbuncle a few days ago must have been killed by the medicine he prescribed.
Thinking of this, Yu Ruhai became even more frightened, and his back felt cold and wet.
Many villagers who heard the noise rushed over outside the yard. Originally, people in the same village should help each other, but when they saw seven or eight burly men standing in the Yu family's yard, they all wondered in their hearts whether the Yu family had offended some big shot. When they heard that it was Yu Ruhai who killed someone, no one dared to get involved in this mess.
As soon as the Yu family heard the word "He family", they understood what was going on. The family that came to them for medical treatment and was quite generous two days ago was not named He. Yu Qiaoshan stood there stupidly with the hoe in his hand, not knowing what to say.
Yu Zhou hurriedly turned and entered the east room, took out the thirty taels of silver that the He family had given her that day from the money box, and said to the furious He family servant in the lead, "This is the consultation fee you paid that day. We didn't touch a penny. Now we return it in full. Please be kind and let my master go."
The He family's housekeeper glanced at the silver in Yu Zhou's hand and grabbed it with a sneer.
Yu Zhou heaved a sigh of relief, but immediately after that, the housekeeper He said, "You want to buy my old master's life with a mere thirty taels of medical fee? Even the lives of all the members of your Yu family are not as valuable as my old master! Arrest this quack doctor who harmed our old master!"
