My happy life in a courtyard house with triplets.

Chapter 78: Knocking Out Two Front Teeth

The deaf old woman looked at the middle-aged woman and said, "Did you hear that? It's all a misunderstanding."

When the old woman heard what the deaf woman said, most of the worry on her face disappeared, and she felt much better.

Zhang Lei, standing at the back of the crowd, gritted his teeth in anger. He never expected that such a good situation would be ruined by the deaf old lady.

Just as Zhang Lei was getting angry, he saw the deaf old woman walk up to Jia Zhangshi, lean on her cane, and start hitting her, muttering, "I'll teach you to cause trouble all the time!"

Jia Zhangshi shrank her neck and quickly ran away. She dared not lay a hand on the deaf old lady. If she did, the others in the courtyard would definitely not let her off the hook.

Moreover, Yi Zhonghai treated the deaf old lady like his own mother, and if she were to offend her, Yi Zhonghai would be the first to object.

Watching the deaf old woman chase after Jia Zhangshi, Zhang Lei secretly used his personal space to put away a brick and, when no one was looking, quietly placed it at the old woman's feet.

With a loud thud, the deaf old lady cried out in surprise and fell to the ground.

The moment the deaf old lady fell, Zhang Lei reacted swiftly and put the brick into his personal storage space.

Everyone heard a muffled "thud," and when they looked again, the deaf old lady had fallen face down on the ground.

Yi Zhonghai was the first to rush to the deaf old woman, squatting down to support her. His voice was filled with worry as he shouted, "Grandma, Grandma, what's wrong? Are you alright?"

At this moment, panic broke out in the crowd, and many people even pushed forward, asking the deaf old lady about the situation.

Taking advantage of the situation, Jia Zhangshi quickly ran away, muttering as she ran, "It's not my fault, it's not my fault, she was chasing me and that's why she fell!"

Yi Zhonghai abruptly turned to look at Jia Zhangshi, his eyes practically spitting fire. He wanted nothing more than to tear this troublemaking old hag apart on the spot. His eyes were red as he roared, "Jia Zhangshi, if anything happens to the old lady, I won't let you off the hook!"

Hearing Yi Zhonghai's roar, Jia Zhangshi trembled in fright and quickly shrank her neck to hide in a corner, covering her eyes and pretending she couldn't see anything. Her main idea was that as long as she hid, he wouldn't be able to find her.

Yan Fugui, who was standing nearby, quickly squeezed through the crowd and shouted, "Don't panic! Hurry up and get the old lady to the hospital!"

Soon, a group of people hurriedly found a door panel, carefully lifted the deaf old lady onto it, and rushed out of the yard.

The courtyard fell silent instantly, leaving a group of people looking at each other in bewilderment. No one had expected that what should have been a farce would end up like this.

Ye Shuqin stared at the scene in surprise for a moment, then asked Zhang Lei, "Zhang Lei, what just happened? Did you see it clearly?"

Zhang Lei shook his head and casually replied, "No, I guess the old lady has bad legs and didn't watch her step, so she just fell down."

Ye Shuqin nodded in agreement, finding the words to be reasonable. After all, the old lady was so old, yet she was still chasing after Jia Zhangshi with a cane; it wouldn't be surprising if something unexpected happened to her.

Seeing that there was no more drama to watch, Zhang Lei took Ye Shuqin home.

The others, however, got excited and went straight to people they knew, chatting and gossiping as they pleased.

In the courtyard, news of Yi Zhonghai spread quickly. Various versions of gossip flew around, such as two women fighting over one man, or Yi Zhonghai being caught cheating. Most of these were just fabrications made up by people based on their own imaginations.

The group of people who came with Yi Zhonghai to take the deaf old lady to the hospital were all shocked when they saw the old lady's face covered in blood.

The deaf old woman lying on the door panel was not seriously injured, but she looked frightening.

But the deaf old lady was so dizzy from the shaking of the door that she couldn't utter a single word.

The group hurried along and quickly brought her to the doctor.

The doctor was startled when he saw the bloodstains all over the deaf old woman's face and quickly asked a nurse to come and clean her wounds.

After the nurse cleaned up the bloodstains, the doctor leaned closer to look at them from all angles, then frowned and stood up.

Yi Zhonghai quickly stepped forward and asked the doctor, "Doctor, how is the old lady? Is she badly injured?"

The doctor looked up at Yi Zhonghai and asked in a deep voice, "Are you a family member of the patient?"

Yi Zhonghai nodded hurriedly and explained, "Yes, yes, I'm the oldest man in the compound. My wife and I usually take care of the old lady."

After hearing Yi Zhonghai's words, the doctor breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's nothing serious, he just knocked out two of his front teeth."

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and looked at the doctor with surprise.

Yi Zhonghai was still a little worried and pressed on, asking, "Doctor, are you really alright?"

The dentist waved his hand impatiently: "It's really nothing, she just lost two teeth and that's why she's bleeding. If possible, we can fill the old lady's two teeth, ceramic or metal, it's fine."

Hearing the doctor say this, everyone was completely relieved.

By this time, the old lady had washed her face clean with the help of the nurse, and the bleeding had already stopped. Seeing that the deaf old lady was alright, and thinking that it would definitely cost money to fill her teeth later, the others looked at each other and soon found an excuse to leave, leaving only Yi Zhonghai and an old lady behind.

An older woman looked at Yi Zhonghai, her face full of worry, and said, "What should we do now?"

Yi Zhonghai sighed, thought for a moment, and said, "We'll ask the old lady later what kind of teeth she wants filled, and then we'll fill those teeth for her."

Meanwhile, at the casino, Jia Dongxu and Yan Jiecheng looked at each other dejectedly, speechless.

Yan Jiecheng's eyes reddened, and he was on the verge of tears. He grabbed Jia Dongxu's arm and choked out, "Jia Dongxu, what should we do now?"

Jia Dongxu shook off his hand, growling angrily, "You're asking me? How would I know?"

Yan Jiecheng stamped his feet in frustration, his voice trembling with tears, "Jia Dongxu, you're the one who brought me here! We were supposed to scam Zhang Lei, but now it's turned into us borrowing money from loan sharks, and we've borrowed so much money!"

At this moment, Jia Dongxu also looked frustrated, scratching his hair in annoyance and saying, "Let's go, let's go ask Manager Li and see if he can make an exception."

Soon the two arrived in front of Manager Li, who was furious. He listened to his men frantically explaining that all the money, gold, and valuables stored in the casino had vanished.

Upon hearing this, Manager Li's legs went weak, and he nearly collapsed to the ground. He roared at his men, "I don't care what methods you use! Even if you have to turn the entire casino upside down, you have to find what's missing!"

After saying that, he turned to another subordinate and ordered sternly, "Lock the gate to the courtyard! No one is allowed to leave. Search them one by one!"

The subordinate looked troubled and hesitated before saying, "Manager Li, there are so many people in the casino, including many influential figures. Are we really going to search them one by one? We can't afford to offend them."

Seeing his cowardly appearance, Manager Li was so angry that he cursed, "You think you can't afford to offend him? Don't you know what time it is! If we can't find the lost items, how are we going to explain to Brother Tiger? We might not even be able to save our lives!"
