Their plan was indeed very successful, but don't forget that both Wei Hua and Yang Tao had their own space, and their little tricks couldn't be kept secret from Yang Tao and Wei Hua at all.
Wei Hua, who almost never took the initiative, decided to give them a ruthless lesson after learning of their actions. His wife and children were taboo subjects for him.
Those two actually came up with such a despicable method as kicking someone in the crotch. It's simply outrageous not to teach them a lesson.
To prevent any accidents, Wei Hua forbade his son from going out to play. He even secretly used his spatial powers to severely punish the children. Each child suffered serious injuries as a result.
Regardless of whether they were misled by Xu Damao and his group, they had already entertained the idea of harming their own child. This was a taboo subject for them, and even without taking any action, they would never allow it.
Letting them stay in bed for ten days or half a month is already a favor to them. After they've been in bed for ten days or half a month, my children won't play with them anymore, and I'll just stop letting them come to the courtyard house in the future.
Meanwhile, they were also figuring out how to lure Yan Jiecheng and Xu Damao into a trap. Compared to Xu Damao, Yan Jiecheng was much easier to manipulate. Given the personalities of the Yan family members, all they needed to do was offer some good things, and Yan Jiecheng would willingly take the bait.
In order to outmaneuver both of them at once, Wei Hua had to use his wits. The house in the front yard had never been lived in, so Wei Hua deliberately went there frequently. Each time, he made sure they noticed him, secretly returning to the old house.
Wei Hua's furtive behavior quickly caught the attention of Yan Jiecheng and Xu Damao. They didn't know why Wei Hua was being so cautious.
But they were both careful. After seeing Wei Hua cautiously return to the old house, they hid and waited for him to leave. Then, the two of them emerged from the shadows.
The two exchanged a glance and knew what the other was thinking. Seeing that the door was locked, they found a wire and, while everyone was asleep, secretly unlocked it.
Arriving at the area where Wei Hua had been active, they searched tirelessly for clues and unexpectedly discovered a hidden compartment. Opening it, they found a box inside. Initially, they assumed it contained evidence of Wei Hua's crimes. However, upon opening the box, they were surprised to find several hundred yuan inside.
Money has always been a powerful motivator, and neither of them is having an easy time right now. If they had this money, they might be able to buy a job.
They counted the money and found it totaled 500 yuan. Since the two of them had found the money together and opened the lock together, they discussed it and decided to split the money equally.
After agreeing on the profit-sharing ratio, they immediately pocketed the money. They carefully put the box back. Once they confirmed it was exactly the same as before, they closed the door and locked it again. They stealthily left the courtyard. Finding a secluded spot with good lighting, they divided the 500 yuan equally.
They had just finished dividing the money when the system's voice rang in Wei Hua's mind.
"Congratulations, host, on forming a karmic bond with Xu Damao and Yan Jiecheng. Karmic bond settlement in progress. Congratulations, host, on receiving a thousandfold critical hit. Rewards: one space upgrade card, one recipe for Wanglaoji herbal tea, one recipe for peanut milk, one recipe for instant noodles, thirty points of physique, and 3,000 yuan."
Upon hearing the reward from the system, Wei Hua immediately used the space upgrade card and then kept a close eye on Xu Damao and Yan Jiecheng's situation.
After observing for more than ten minutes without seeing any movement, and seeing that they had returned to the courtyard, Wei Hua stopped paying attention to their situation. Given the system's nature, it was likely that nothing would happen tonight.
The next day happened to be the weekend, and Wei Hua didn't leave the courtyard, but Xu Damao and Yan Jiecheng had to leave. For them, the weekend didn't really matter.
Whether they had done something wrong together or not, Xu Damao and Yan Jiecheng's relationship suddenly improved a lot. The two of them even walked out of the courtyard together with smiles on their faces, but they hadn't gone far when it started to rain.
Everyone says June weather is like a child's face, changing in an instant. Actually, July weather is just as unpredictable as June weather. They're used to this kind of thing by now.
To avoid getting wet, the two of you quickly took shelter under the eaves of a nearby house.
The lightning in the sky seemed to have a GPS tracker, striking the two of them directly. With a deafening roar, two charred bodies appeared on the ground.
The loud commotion startled the people inside the house. When they came out, they found two people lying on the ground. Both were charred black and smelled strongly of roasted meat. If the people lying on the ground hadn't been of the same race, perhaps some of them would have already given in.
Seeing their pitiful state, the locals quickly reported it to the neighborhood committee. They didn't want to get themselves into any unnecessary trouble; although the courtyard was two or three kilometers away, there were far too many things going wrong there.
For some reason, people on the street have been getting struck by lightning frequently in recent years, so they don't want to get involved.
Before long, the people from the neighborhood committee arrived. Everyone in the courtyard was registered with the neighborhood committee, so they weren't surprised at all to see the two people in front of them, because in the past few years, apart from the people in the courtyard being struck by lightning, almost no one else had been struck by lightning.
The neighborhood committee staff were quite experienced in handling these kinds of situations. They borrowed two door panels from a nearby family and carried Xu Damao and Yan Jiecheng to the hospital.
The people were the same group, only the ones struck by lightning were different. This time, it was the same doctor performing surgery on them. This doctor was considered the most authoritative in Beijing, especially when dealing with cases like being struck by lightning; absolutely no one could compare to him.
After more than ten hours of treatment, the surgeries on Yan Jiecheng and Xu Damao were finally completed. By then, the two of them were wrapped up like mummies.
When the two were wheeled out of the operating room, the Xu and Yan families immediately surrounded them. Looking at the two mummies before them, tears welled up in the eyes of Xu Fugui and his wife, as well as Yan Bugui.
Both families were well aware of the consequences of being struck by lightning, as there were far too many people in the courtyard who had been struck by lightning.
Even knowing their situation, they couldn't help but ask the doctor about the specifics.
"Doctor, will they end up like Yi Zhonghai?"
Doctors may not know about other doctors, but Yi Zhonghai is extremely important to them. Without Yi Zhonghai's contributions, I wouldn't have achieved what I have today.
"You can rest assured, their surgeries were very successful. Their condition is definitely much better than Yi Zhonghai's. After they recover, there won't be such obvious cracks. They just need to rest at home for about six months. But you still need to be careful, after all, such large-area burns will inevitably have some side effects."
After the doctor finished speaking, he had Xu Damao and Yan Jiecheng wheeled back. The doctor was exhausted after more than ten hours of surgery. He gave some specific instructions and then went home. Once home, he took off his adult diaper, took a shower, and then lay down to rest.
Xu Damao and Yan Jiecheng, who were moved to a regular ward, slowly woke up. As soon as they woke up, they kept calling out, and the doctor was able to cut off a lot of necrotic flesh.
No matter what position they were in, they would touch their wounds. The intense pain was unbearable for most people. The only thing they could do was remain still in one position. Only then would their condition improve slightly.
Xu Fugui and Yan Bugui were heartbroken for their son, but there was nothing they could do. The Xu family could afford some painkillers, but the Yan family couldn't even afford a single one.
If Yan Jiecheng hadn't stolen the 250 yuan, Yan Bugui wouldn't have been able to afford the medical expenses. Today's surgery alone cost 150 or 160 yuan. Who knows how much more will be needed later? If all the money is spent now, they'll be left starving at home.
Aside from essential expenses, Yan Bugui was reluctant to spend a single penny. He didn't even have time to care for Yan Jiecheng in the hospital. Apart from visiting the hospital at fixed times, Yan Bugui spent the rest of his time begging near the hospital.
This made Yan Jiecheng's situation far worse than Xu Damao's; at least Xu Damao had his mother taking care of him in the hospital. But Yan Jiecheng could only call for help from the nurses. However, the nurses didn't have time to care for Yan Jiecheng every day; they had many other patients to look after. So Yan Jiecheng could only cry out in the hospital all day long.
