Siheyuan: Fighting against the beasts under the pressure of the system

"You two stay at home every day, haven't you heard anything?"

Hearing Jia Dongxu's words, Jia Zhang was bewildered. This old lady was just a fool. It was fine for her to have a quarrel, but it was difficult for her to analyze the problem.

But Qin Huairu is not a good person.

Although he doesn't talk much, he sees everything and takes it to heart.

After hearing what Jia Dongxu said, he immediately described to Jia Dongxu everything that happened by the pool.

"Dongxu, something is indeed wrong during this period. When I was washing clothes, I heard them whispering and discussing non-stop."

"Every day they quarreled and then went to see Uncle Zhang from the street office. But after the quarrel, they acted like nothing happened, chatting and laughing, without any quarrel."

"And it's not just one or two families, it's all the residents in the compound. I feel like something's going on here!"

After hearing Qin Huairu's words, Jia Zhang's eyes sparkled. She scolded her harshly.

"These damned guys, I was wondering why they quarreled and argued every day recently. It turns out there's something going on here."

But this old hag can’t figure out what’s going on.”

Jia Dongxu was a little confused after hearing this, but this was not the most important thing. He opened his mouth and started talking.

"Mom, I'll talk to my master about this later. He's a very smart man and will definitely be able to figure it out."

"Then I'll take this opportunity to ask him why he has been so close to Sha Zhu recently."

After hearing what Jia Dongxu said, both the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law agreed very much.

Jia Zhang's triangular eyes rolled around, she found a stool, sat down and began to complain.

"Dongxu, you can go to your master's house to ask around, but you have to bring back some meat. We haven't had meat at home for several days, and my eldest grandson has become skinny due to hunger."

When Jia Zhang said this, Qin Huairu curled her lips in disdain.

"It's not that Bang Geng is greedy for meat, I think it's you, the old man, who is greedy for food."

"You will know how to order Dongxu around. But it would be good if you could get some meat back so that Banggeng and Dongxu can have some good nourishment."

Jia Dongxu came to Yi Zhonghai's house and saw Yi Zhonghai drinking tea in the living room. He saw Jia Dongxu coming.

Yi Zhonghai smiled happily.

"Dongxu is becoming more and more filial. He even comes to see me on his days off. He is such a caring person!"

Jia Dongxu first greeted his master, then sat on a chair and started chatting with Yi Zhonghai.

"Master, I feel something is wrong in the yard recently. I wonder if you have noticed it."

When Yi Zhonghai heard this, his expression became serious.

"Dongxu, tell me first, what's wrong? You know, I've been leaving early and coming back late recently, and I haven't paid much attention to what's going on in the hospital."

Jia Dongxu told Yi Zhonghai what Qin Huairu said. As soon as Yi Zhonghai heard it, he knew there was something wrong and quickly called out an old lady from the inner room.

After the aunt came out from the inner room, she was still a little puzzled. Why did you two, the master and the disciple, call me out to chat?

"Old lady, let me ask you something. Have the people in the compound been quarreling every day recently?"

When the aunt heard this, she laughed out loud and burst out laughing.

"Hey, boss, you're asking about this!"

"I don't know what happened recently, but the neighbors in the yard are quarreling with each other all the time. They quarrel every day, and the quarrels are quite serious."

"Mr. Zhang from the Street Office comes to the hospital every day to help with the matter. He comes at least two or three times a day."

"Didn't I tell you about this a few days ago?"

"You blame me for meddling in other people's business, saying that you are too busy with your own family affairs and don't want me to meddle in the affairs of the compound."

Yi Zhonghai narrowed his eyes and tapped his fingers on the chair. In just two or three minutes, Yi Zhonghai's face gradually became ugly.

He spoke.

"There must be something going on here, but I don't know what it is."

"But it's obviously not right. There are some conflicts between the neighbors in our yard, but they are minor. It's normal if it happens once in a while, but it's been more than half a month now. There's something wrong here!"

After hearing Lao Yi's analysis, Auntie and Jia Dongxu also realized that something was wrong.

"Master, what do you think the problem is?"

Yi Zhonghai sneered.

"Although I don't know what's going on here, it must be related to Old Liu in the backyard and Old Yan in the front yard."

"These past few days, I've noticed that the neighbors in the courtyard have a different attitude towards the two families. They are all very close to each other."

Jia Dongxu scratched his head in confusion.

"Our neighbors are the kind of people who don't do anything without profit. Could it be that Lao Liu and his men compensated everyone? Then why did they keep it a secret from us?"

"That won't do. My family has also suffered a lot of losses."

Yi Zhonghai's face gradually darkened as he thought of the situation inside.

It seems that Lao Liu and Lao Yan are on guard against me! They don't want me to know the news!

No, I have to call Sha Zhu over later and see if his family knows about the news. What will you do if I find out?

I must give you a good look.

Jia Dongxu pondered for a long time and his expression turned ugly.

Seeing Jia Dongxu's ugly expression, Yi Zhonghai felt a little distressed and comforted Jia Dongxu.

"Don't worry, Dongxu. The truth will eventually come out. I'll help you with anything you need to do. I'll ask Shazhu later to see if he knows what's going on."

Hearing Yi Zhonghai mention Sha Zhu, Jia Dongxu quickly started talking.

"Master, you didn't want to bother with Sha Zhu, so why are you chatting with him again recently?"

Yi Zhonghai looked out the window and spoke with a serious expression.

"Dongxu, things are different now. The master has a bad reputation. If you don't win over some people in the compound, you will have no say in the future. Shazhu is the most suitable candidate."

"If anything happens, Shazhu can help us."

While Jia Dongxu was chatting enthusiastically with his master, Xu Damao started his action.

He first bought some red shrimp candies, then came outside the yard and found a group of children playing in the corner. Xu Damao walked over to them with a smile.

"Come here, everyone. Uncle Xu bought some red shrimp candies for you to share."

Yan Jiekuang, Yan Jiedi, Banggeng and a few other little kids came over happily.

When other children went to play again, Xu Damao called Banggeng aside and spoke to him in a kind tone.

"Bang Geng, is the red shrimp candy delicious?"

"good to eat."

Banggeng was eating candy and speaking incoherently.

"Would you like more candy?"

"want to."

Xu Damao told Banggeng a method. As long as he succeeded, he would give him more candies, and then he could eat them secretly and not give them to others.

When Banggeng heard this, he was so happy that his teeth were exposed.
