Siheyuan: Sap is the last word

Liu Haizhong wanted to argue a little, but after hearing what He Yudong said, he could only nod and agree, "Okay, I'll go get the money now."

"Why didn't you do this earlier?" Jia Zhang left cursing.

Liu Haizhong took out a few bills and handed them to He Yudong, "Brother He Yudong, you should give them to her, so she won't make trouble again."

He Yudong took the money and nodded, "Okay, I'll go talk to her." He walked quickly to Jia Zhang's door and knocked gently.

The door opened and Bang Geng poked his head out. "Uncle He Yudong, what's the matter?"

"Is your grandma at home? I have something to ask her." He Yudong asked with a smile.

"I'm here, cursing." Banggeng answered helplessly.

He Yudong smiled and said, "I'll go in and talk to her."

Banggen made way for He Yudong, who walked into the house and saw Jia Zhang sitting on the kang with a gloomy face. He Yudong handed over the money, "Auntie, this is the money for repairing the fence. Old Liu said that he is also responsible for this matter, so please don't be angry anymore."

Jia Zhang took the money and snorted, "At least you still have some conscience. But He Yudong, let me tell you, there are so many families in this courtyard. If any child dares to bully my Bang Geng again, I will not forgive them!"

He Yudong nodded repeatedly, "That's right, that's right, don't worry, I will definitely keep an eye on it."

After saying this, He Yudong hurriedly left the Jia family, but he felt depressed. Things in this courtyard were always noisy every day, and the relationship between people was always so tense.

As the sky gradually darkened, He Yudong returned to his room, where Xiaohua had already prepared dinner. Two simple dishes and a soup, although plain, were full of the taste of home.

"Brother, why did you come back so late today?" Xiaohua asked with concern.

"Something happened in the courtyard, so I was delayed." He Yudong sat down and picked up the chopsticks, "Let's eat."

Xiaohua saw that He Yudong was worried, so she put down her chopsticks and asked, "Brother, is there something wrong at the factory?"

He Yudong was silent for a while, then nodded. "I heard that they are going to lay off some people, but I haven't confirmed it yet. Don't worry, I will find a way."

Xiaohua's eyes flashed with worry, "Brother, how about I go find

"Brother, how about I find a job? This way our family can have more income. It's too hard for you to support it alone." Xiaohua's voice was filled with worry and her eyes were full of heartache.

He Yudong looked up at his only sister. Her face still had a hint of childishness, but her eyes were more mature. He felt sad and couldn't help but sigh, "Xiaohua, don't let your imagination run wild. Our family doesn't need your money. Besides, it's better for you to study hard in school now."

"Brother, aren't I afraid that you will be too tired alone? Life is not easy for the people in this hospital, especially those who are older. When they can't work anymore, life becomes even more difficult." Xiaohua looked at He Yudong stubbornly with a firm look in her eyes.

"I know you're doing this for my own good," He Yudong put down his bowl and chopsticks, leaned back in his chair, and gently patted Xiaohua's hand, "but you're still young now, and only if you learn well can you live a good life in the future. Don't worry, I can hold on."

Xiaohua frowned even more tightly, knowing in her heart that her brother didn't want her to suffer as well, but she also understood that it was too much pressure for her brother to carry the family affairs alone.

"Brother, we can carry it together, so you won't be too tired. Besides, you know the situation at home, we can't keep going like this." Xiaohua said in a low voice with a hint of stubbornness in her eyes.

He Yudong was moved when he saw Xiaohua, but he knew that Xiaohua was still young and her shoulders were weak, so he couldn't let her bear the burden of life too early.

"Xiaohua, I know you are a sensible child, but you have to listen to me. It's true that we support this family together, but you have to listen to my arrangements. Your most important task now is to study well, and I will take care of the rest." He Yudong's voice was soft, but it revealed a firmness that could not be refused.

Seeing her brother's firm attitude, Xiaohua didn't know what to say, so she just nodded and said, "Okay, brother, I'll listen to you."

He Yudong was relieved to see her compromise, "That's right, don't worry, no matter how difficult our family is, I will take good care of you."

Xiaohua nodded, picked up the chopsticks again, and ate quietly. He Yudong looked at her eating with her head down, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart. He knew Xiaohua's worries, but he also knew that he couldn't let her bear the pressure of the family now.

After dinner, He Yudong and Xiaohua cleaned up the table and were about to sit down to rest when there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Who is it?" He Yudong stood up, walked quickly to the door and opened it.

Standing outside the door was Qin Huairu, holding her youngest son Xiaodang in her arms. She looked anxious and pale, "Brother He Yudong, please help me, my son Banggeng was beaten!"

"What's going on?" He Yudong felt nervous when he heard this. Although Banggeng was naughty, he was just a child after all. He was beaten by someone. This was no trivial matter.

"I don't know either. I was at home with the child, and Banggeng went out to play. When he came back, his face was covered in blood. I asked him what happened, but he refused to say. Brother He Yudong, you know a lot of people, can you help me find out which child did this?" Qin Huairu said, tears welling up in her eyes.

He Yudong looked at Qin Huairu and felt a little sympathetic. It was not easy for this woman to raise three children alone. Although Banggeng was naughty, she was still doing her best to take care of him.

"Don't worry, I'll take you to ask other people in the yard to see if anyone knows." He Yudong said as he picked up his clothes and walked out.

Qin Huairu hurriedly followed, her face showing even more anxiety, "Brother He Yudong, you have to help me with this matter. If something happens to Banggeng again, how will I live?"

He Yudong nodded and thought to himself that although Banggeng was naughty, he was just a child after all. How could a child be so cruel? This matter could not be let off easily.

The two of them walked out of the house one after the other, and the dim lights in the courtyard were already on. He Yudong went straight to Yan Bugui's house, and just as he reached the door, he heard several loud curses coming from the house.

"Fighting again?" Yan Bugui was sitting on a chair smoking. When he saw He Yudong and Qin Huairu come in, he immediately stood up and asked, "What happened?"

Qin Huairu couldn't help crying as soon as she entered the door, "Uncle Yan, my son Bang Geng was beaten up, do you know who did it?"

Yan Bugui frowned and exhaled a puff of smoke, "Bang Geng was beaten? Although this child is naughty, it is too much to hit him so hard."

"Uncle Yan, you have a sharp eye. Have you seen any child fighting with Banggeng?" He Yudong asked hurriedly.

"I didn't see it, but I heard from Liu Haizhong that the two boys in his family had a quarrel with Banggeng this afternoon." Yan Bugui touched his chin and recalled.

Qin Huairu's face changed immediately when she heard this. "Could it be those two kids from the Liu family who did it? My Banggeng doesn't have any deep hatred against them, how could they be so cruel?"

"Don't worry, let's go and ask first." He Yudong looked at Qin Huairu's excited expression and quickly comforted her.

They arrived at Liu Haizhong's house, and He Yudong raised his hand and knocked on the door.

The door opened quickly, and Liu Haizhong poked his head out. Seeing He Yudong and Qin Huairu, his face looked a little unnatural, "Brother He Yudong, Sister Qin, what's the matter?"

He Yudong said directly: "Brother Liu, did you know that your child had a quarrel with Banggeng this afternoon?"

Liu Haizhong's face suddenly darkened. "Yes, they had a few arguments, but it's just a small matter between kids. What's the big deal?"

Qin Huairu took a step forward excitedly, "But when my Banggeng came back, his face was covered in blood. Do you think this is a small matter?"

Liu Haizhong was stunned for a moment, then his eyes flickered, "My two boys are indeed naughty, but they wouldn't be so violent, right?"

He Yudong stared at Liu Haizhong's eyes and said, "Brother Liu, I know your child is naughty, but today's incident is a bit too much. We have to ask clearly, otherwise how can this matter be resolved?"

Liu Haizhong looked embarrassed and was about to speak when suddenly Liu Guangtian's voice came from the room, "Dad, we didn't beat him!"

"Guangtian, come here and explain it clearly!" Liu Haizhong turned his head and shouted, with a hint of impatience in his voice.

The two children, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu, walked out slowly and stood at the door, avoiding glances and not daring to look directly at He Yudong and Qin Huairu.

"Guangtian, tell me the truth, did you fight with Banggeng this afternoon?" He Yudong tried to make his voice calm, trying to make the children relax.

Liu Guangtian lowered his head and rubbed his toes on the ground. After a long while, he whispered, "We had a few arguments with him, but we didn't fight."

"Why is that guy's face covered in blood?" Qin Huairu asked anxiously, her eyes full of anxiety.

Liu Guangfu finally couldn't help but speak, "We didn't hit him, he fell down by himself."

He Yudong looked at Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu, frowning slightly, "Are you saying that Banggeng fell down by himself?"

Liu Guangtian nodded, with a look of grievance on his face, "Really, we didn't touch him. He scolded us, so we quarreled with him for a few words, and then he ran away and fell down."

Qin Huairu was obviously a little unconvinced, "Did he really fall? Didn't you beat him?"

Liu Haizhong looked at his two sons with some doubts in his heart, but he still said, "Brother He Yudong, Sister Qin, although our two boys are naughty, they would not do such a thing. If the stick fell by itself, it is not our fault."

He Yudong fell into deep thought, a very good character

He Yudong stood at the door of Liu Haizhong's house, his mind racing. Although Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu's words sounded believable, the matter of Banggeng being beaten could not be dismissed so hastily. Most of the people in the courtyard knew each other, and no one wanted to make the relationship too awkward, but since the matter had become a big deal, there had to be an explanation.
