Siheyuan: Sap is the last word

He Yudong waved his hand and said with a smile: "Neighbors should help each other. This little thing is nothing. Go back and tell Dongxu not to cause trouble again. Let me find out everything first."

Qin Huairu nodded, stood up and prepared to leave, "Then I'll go back first, you should also rest early and don't be too tired."

He Yudong walked her to the door and watched her disappear into the night. He stood at the door, took a deep breath, and felt an invisible sense of responsibility weighing on his heart. Everyone in this courtyard, rich or poor, had their own troubles and difficulties. And He Yudong, as one of the few smart people in this courtyard, was often relied on by everyone to solve various problems.

The next morning, He Yudong got up early and prepared to go to the factory to inquire about Jia Dongxu's situation. As soon as he went out, he met Yan Bugui. When Yan Bugui saw He Yudong, he hurried over.

"He Yudong, why are you here so early today? Is there something wrong?" Yan Bugui asked with concern.

He Yudong nodded, "Yes, Uncle Bugui, I have to go to the factory to inquire about something. Our neighbor Dongxu had some problems in the factory yesterday, I have to see if I can help."

Yan Bugui frowned, "I've heard about Dongxu. It was quite a big fuss yesterday. I also have to go to the factory to do some work. Let's go together."

The two chatted along the way and soon arrived at the factory. He Yudong found an opportunity to quietly inquire about Jia Dongxu's situation. Sure enough, the matter was more serious than he thought. Jia Dongxu had a fierce conflict with another worker. The factory leaders attached great importance to this matter and were studying how to deal with it.

He Yudong returned to the yard and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Qin Huairu standing anxiously at the door, obviously waiting for him to come back.

"He Yudong, how are you? Any news?" Qin Huairu came up to him as soon as she saw him, with a slight tremor in her voice.

He Yudong nodded and said softly, "Sister Huairu, the situation is indeed a bit troublesome. The factory leaders attach great importance to this matter and are now studying how to deal with it. Fortunately, Dongxu is not the main person responsible and should not be fired, but I am afraid that punishment is inevitable."

Qin Huairu's face changed when she heard this, and a trace of fear flashed in her eyes, "What should we do? If he is punished, it will be difficult for him to survive in the factory in the future."

He Yudong patted her shoulder and comforted her, "Don't worry, things haven't reached the worst yet. I'll ask a few acquaintances to see if I can get the leaders to deal with it leniently. Go back first, and don't tell your family about this, so as not to worry them."

Qin Huairu nodded gratefully, "He Yudong, thank you for your help. Dongxu has caused a big disaster this time, and I don't know how to calm it down."

He Yudong smiled and said casually: "Sister Huairu, don't worry, let's work together and there will always be a solution. Don't worry about it yet, wait for my news."

Qin Huairu thanked him and went back home. He Yudong looked at her leaving, but he was not relieved. He knew that if this matter was not resolved as soon as possible, Jia Dongxu's future would be affected, and Qin Huairu's family would be in trouble.

In the afternoon, He Yudong found an opportunity to go to the factory leader's office. He knocked on the door, got permission, and walked in. The leader was busy with documents, and when he saw He Yudong coming in, he looked up and smiled.

"He Yudong, what brings you here? Is there anything you want to talk to me about?" the leader asked politely.

He Yudong smiled and nodded, "Leader, I did come here this time to talk to you about something. It's about Jia Dongxu in our hospital."

The leader's face darkened after hearing this, and he put down the document in his hand. "I know about Dongxu's situation. He did go a little too far this time. Are you here to plead for him?"

He Yudong waved his hands quickly, "I dare not ask for mercy, I just want to understand what happened with you, and then see if I can help mediate. I know Dongxu has a bad temper, but he usually works very hard in the factory. Is there any misunderstanding this time?"

The leader sighed, leaned back in his chair, and after a moment of silence, he said, "He Yudong, I understand what you mean. In fact, Dongxu did have its reasons for this incident, but factory rules and regulations cannot be violated casually. We are now studying the specific handling method, and it has not been finalized yet. However, since you are here, I will tell you the bottom line."

He Yudong's heart tightened, and he nodded quickly, "Leader, please tell me, I will listen carefully."

The leader glanced at He Yudong and said in a slightly more relaxed tone, "Dongxu's incident is indeed a headache for the factory.

He Yudong was in a heavy mood after leaving the factory leader. He was walking back to the courtyard, thinking about how to deal with Jia Dongxu's matter next. Although the factory leader did not express his position directly, the coldness in his tone said it all: Dongxu's prospects were not optimistic. He Yudong knew that he had to find a compromise as soon as possible, so that Dongxu's job would not be completely ruined, and the leader would not think that he was relying on his relationship to suppress the matter.

When he returned to the courtyard, the sun was about to set. People were coming and going in the courtyard, and some neighbors had already started preparing dinner. As soon as He Yudong entered the yard, he saw Liu Haizhong standing by the well smoking, with a serious expression.

"Brother Haizhong, why are you so idle today? Why are you standing here in a daze?" He Yudong greeted him with a smile, but in his heart he was wondering if he could get any useful information from Liu Haizhong.

Liu Haizhong looked up when he heard the voice and saw that it was He Yudong, so he forced a smile, "He Yudong, you're back? I heard that you went to the factory to run errands for Dongxu today, is that true?"

"Yes, I did go there. But the situation is not optimistic. The attitude of the leaders is a bit stiff." He Yudong sighed, walked to Liu Haizhong, and lowered his voice, "Brother Haizhong, you are knowledgeable in the factory. Is there any way to prevent this matter from getting out of hand?"

Liu Haizhong took a deep puff of his cigarette and thought for a moment before speaking: "He Yudong, to be honest, if this matter happened a few years ago, we could still find someone to smooth it out. But now the situation is tense and no one in the factory dares to make a decision easily. Dongxu has really run into the gun this time, and it might really suffer a big loss."

He Yudong nodded, feeling even more annoyed. It seemed that this trouble was more complicated than he had imagined.

At this time, Yan Bugui came out of the room and saw what He Yudong and Liu Haizhong were talking about, so he also came over. "He Yudong, Haizhong, what are you talking about? Tell me."

He Yudong looked at Yan Bugui and felt something in his heart. Although Yan Bugui was a small figure, he had a wide network of contacts in the courtyard and was well-informed. Perhaps he could provide some new clues.

"Uncle Bugui, we are talking about Dongxu. I went to the factory today to see if I could help him, but the situation is not good. The leadership's attitude is quite tough." He Yudong said truthfully, with helplessness in his tone.

Yan Bugui frowned and whispered, "I've heard about this, too. Dongxu is really in trouble this time. But I heard that there's a leader in the factory who had some friendship with Dongxu. Do you want to try this out?"

He Yudong's mind brightened up, and he quickly asked, "What leader? Uncle Bugui, you have to tell me more details."

Yan Bugui touched his chin and said slowly, "I heard that it was Old Li from the workshop. He used to have some friendship with Dongxu's father. Why don't you go and see him? Maybe he can show some mercy to Dongxu."

He Yudong felt a little hopeful after hearing this. Old Li had a lot of experience in the factory, so his words carried some weight. If he could find him for help, maybe Dongxu's problem could turn around.

"Thank you, Uncle Bugui. I have to do this right away. I can't delay any longer." After saying this, He Yudong hurriedly left the yard and decided to go find Old Li immediately to try his luck.

As the sky gradually darkened, He Yudong jogged all the way and finally found the residence of Old Li in the dormitory building of the factory area. He knocked on the door, feeling a little nervous, wondering if Old Li would help him.

The door opened, and a white-haired old man stood at the door, his eyes kind but with a hint of majesty. "Young man, who are you looking for?"

He Yudong stepped forward and said respectfully, "Hello, Master Li. I am He Yudong from the Siheyuan, and Dongxu is my neighbor. He got into trouble this time, and I heard that you and his father had a friendship before, so I came here to ask for your help."

Old Li looked at He Yudong and frowned slightly. "Are you talking about Jia Dongxu? I heard that he got into quite a big trouble this time. The whole factory is paying attention to this matter now. How can we help? You have to know that this kind of thing can't be solved with just a few words."

He Yudong's heart tightened, but he still didn't give up. "Master Li, I know this is not a simple matter, but Dongxu is a good guy and he works very hard. This time he might have been impulsive and caused such a big trouble. I would like to ask you to help talk to the factory leaders for your friendship with his father and see if he can get less punishment."

Old Li was silent for a moment, as if he was weighing the pros and cons. He could see that He Yudong was sincerely doing good for Jia Dongxu, and it was rare for a young man to take the initiative to stand up and intercede for others in such a situation.

"Do you really want to help him?" Old Li spoke slowly, looking at He Yudong with deep eyes.

"Yes, Master Li." He Yudong nodded without hesitation. "I watched Dongxu grow up. He did make a mistake this time, but I believe he won't be so impulsive again. I just hope to give him a chance to correct his mistakes so that his future is not ruined."

Old Li nodded and sighed, "Okay, since you said so, I will go to the factory to talk to the leader tomorrow. However, I can't guarantee whether it will succeed, I can only do my best."

He Yudong was overjoyed and quickly said, "Thank you, Master Li! Whether it succeeds or not, we are very grateful to you."
