Rebirth He Yuzhu stays away from troubles

The weather is ever-changing and the wind and clouds are unpredictable. While people are experiencing the mysterious charm of nature, they also learn to adapt to changes in the environment and become better themselves.

On this day, the old couple Xu Debiao and Wu Fangfang, who missed their grandchildren, came to the courtyard with bags in their hands. After staying at Xu Damao's house for a while, Xu's mother Wu Fangfang held her beloved grandson and chatted with the aunts and grandmas in the courtyard; Xu's father Xu Debiao took his granddaughter out for a walk. When he met acquaintances, he did not brag about his grandchildren as usual, but happily chatted about other topics.

Old acquaintances would politely praise Xu Damao for his promising future. During their conversations, most of them would ask tactfully with curiosity: How come Xu Damao was captured by the "Cultural Transporters" and detained for 7 to 8 days, so when he came out he became the leader of the "Cultural Transporters"?

Xu's father and mother always talked about other things, sighed, and complained about their old neighbor Liu Haizhong in the courtyard for being a bad person. They also complained angrily that none of the old men in the courtyard were good.

The curiosity of the old acquaintances was aroused, and most of them, not knowing the reason, would always ask for the reason. Xu's father and mother would then indignantly tell the story, "Do you know why Liu Haizhong has such a bad temper? He would beat his two young sons at home at any time, or go to report others for their mischief?"

"I don't know! Why don't you tell me about it?" Curious people will ask.

"According to the old people in the courtyard, when Liu Haizhong was young, he was busy working outside and was never at home. As a result, his wife gave birth to a child with another man..." Xu's father and mother would start like this in a tone that sounded true or false.

"No way! I think Liu Haizhong's wife Lu Fenglian is a pretty good person. She usually acts according to Liu Haizhong's mood." Some people will disagree and refute.

"That's right, what kind of man is like this! What kind of man doesn't cherish his wife and treasure his children? Who would be willing to beat his own children at every turn and let his wife stay by his side and not dare to say a word?"

"Unless his wife has something on him, the child is not his own!"

"So, it's understandable that Liu Haizhong has developed such a bad character and can't stand other people's families being better off than they are. Now you know why he wants to mess with our Damao..." Xu's father and mother would always explain this way to others.

"Uncle in the courtyard, Yan Bugui, a primary school teacher, should be pretty good!" Some acquaintances would ask curiously.

"Forget it, he is the same as Liu Haizhong. Do you know why: when others go to buy vegetables and pass by his house, Yan Bugui will not even miss the opportunity to take advantage of the situation by buying a scallion?" This is how Xu's father and mother would respond to Yan Bugui.

"Hey, that's true, why is that?" Curious acquaintances usually ask.

"According to the elders, there is a reason for his calculating character. It is said that some years ago, the Yan family could not survive, and Yan Bugui sold his eldest son Yan Jiecheng for food. Don't you think that he was not calculating when his life was saved by his eldest son?" Xu's father and mother would always patiently answer other people's questions.

"Hey, I have the impression that Yan Bugui really has such a son. I said that Yan Bugui is so calculating." There are always some old residents who have some impression, and they will also confirm it.

As the saying goes, "Good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels a thousand miles", let alone in an era of scarcity of entertainment. The rumors about Liu Haizhong quickly spread throughout the Red Star Steel Mill; the rumors about Yan Bugui were also spreading wildly in Nanluoguxiang.

During this period, Liu Haizhong was dismissed from his position as the boss of the courtyard house, and was also fired from the position of "Wenyunyuan" team leader in the steel rolling mill that he had finally obtained. Even his home was ransacked by the "Wenyunyuan". Now there are rumors that his two younger sons are not his biological children.

Liu Haizhong, who was unhappy and depressed, would not only beat his two sons but also whip his wife Lu Fenglian with a belt when he drank. He would ask her whether the two younger sons were his children... At night, there would be shrill wails, cries and curses from the Liu family in the backyard. The Liu family made the backyard of the courtyard a chaotic place.

What about the Yan family? After Yan Bugui and his wife knew about the rumor, they acted very quickly. I don’t know how they found a dark-skinned man, but he looked a bit like the Yan family.

After finding the person, they explained to everyone they met that "their eldest son Yan Jiecheng was not sold, but was adopted by a relative who had no descendants."

Rumors are just rumors. The more the Yan family explains, the more they confirm the truth of the rumors. Now Yan Bugui and his wife dare not even look up when they go out.

Just when the Yan family in the front yard and the Liu family in the back yard were deeply mired in rumors and lived a miserable life, Xu Damao, a strange man in the courtyard, took action. That day, he walked into the office of Director Wang of the Street Office and reported the recent rumors one by one, and also told him about the chaos in the courtyard caused by Liu Haizhong's family and Yan Bugui's family. Director Wang of the Street Office was there, so how could she sit still? She promised at that time: "In the evening, she and the staff of the Street Office will come to the courtyard to hold a meeting and give an explanation to the residents of the courtyard."

The sun gradually set in the west, and the rosy clouds in the sky blossomed with beautiful colors. Director Wang of the Street Office, along with several staff members, arrived at the courtyard early, and waited in the middle courtyard for everyone to get off work, and for representatives from each household to come to the meeting.

The afterglow of setting sun shines on the courtyard house at No. 95 Nanluoguxiang, Dongcheng District, Beijing. People who get off work come back one after another. The smoke from cooking and the smell of rice are still as usual in every household. Suddenly, voices of "Each family should send a representative to gather in the middle courtyard for a meeting..." spread throughout the front, middle and back yards of the courtyard house.

Soon, the courtyard of the quadrangle was filled with people, including representatives from every household, nosy aunties, and half-grown children who loved to watch the fun...

As Director Wang of the Street Office finished his opening remarks, Xu Damao, the strange man in the courtyard, who had the aura of a "literary mobilization worker" and the prestige of the "literary mobilization worker" team leader, was no longer as brave and courageous as before. He couldn't wait to start the mode of arguing and making trouble. Yes, he wanted to let the people in the courtyard know that "I, Xu Damao, am someone you can't afford to offend. If you dare to offend me, you will have to accept my endless revenge and anger..."

"Liu Haizhong, why do you beat your wife and children every day, making the entire courtyard and backyard in chaos?" Xu Damao asked with a stern face and a cold tone.

Hearing this, Liu Haizhong's face turned red with anger. He couldn't utter a complete sentence and was anxiously saying, "This...that..." But he was thinking rapidly in his heart, "I can't say: because I am in a bad mood, because I suspect my partner is cheating on me, I suspect my two younger sons are not my biological children...If I explain this, how can I live my life in the future? I won't say anything, let's see what you can do?" Having made up his mind, Liu Haizhong stood aside and kept silent.

Xu Damao looked at Liu Haizhong with contempt, then turned to Yan Bugui and asked loudly, "Yan Bugui, you are the one who caused all the rumors about the courtyard to spread everywhere. You should explain to everyone the fact that you sold your own son."

Yan Bugui confidently clarified the rumors about his family. Before he finished speaking, people in the middle courtyard of the quadrangle began to talk about it.

"Selling a son is selling a son, and adopting him? It sounds better than singing..."

"Yes! He is a role model for others, but what he did is worse than that of an animal..."

"Who did we choose to be our boss?"

"Let's elect a new master, let's elect a new master..."

Director Wang of the Sub-district Office listened to the discussion and looked at the awkwardness of Liu Haizi and Yan Bugui. He said angrily, "It is their own family affairs. Although we, the Sub-district Office, cannot intervene, I still want to advise you: please pay attention to your own reputation. You are all old, and your children have grown up and need to work and start families. Please think about your children..."

"There must be a liaison between the subdistrict office and the courtyard house. I am here to respond to everyone's request. I propose: everyone please choose someone you trust! The original old man of the courtyard house should be dismissed..."

Before Director Wang finished speaking, suddenly, a shout rang out from the crowd: "I vote for He Yuzhu, I vote for Director He, I vote for Zhuzi..."
