Siheyuan: A blessed place to start

"Stop it, stop it right there! Do you still want to be rated as a civilized compound? If you keep going like this, there will be no hope next year or the year after next."

In the end, it was Lao Jiang's words that stabilized the situation. The title of Civilized Compound is equivalent to winning an award, so naturally there will be benefits. Even if it is just a pound of pork, it is free. Who wouldn't want it?

When a few people stopped, those who were watching the fun almost laughed like pigs. One by one, no one who participated escaped unscathed.

Jia Zhang's face had intricate finger marks on her disheveled hair, Aunt Li's face was scratched and bleeding, and Aunt Wang's collar was torn.

"It's not right for you to talk about fighting at your age. How can you set an example for the younger generation? Go home and reflect on your mistakes immediately."

After the words were spoken, none of the aunts moved. After all, whoever moved first at this critical juncture would be the loser.

But Yi Zhonghai made a gesture with his eyes to signal the host to take the person away quickly, so Uncle Chen and his men dragged the person home.

Jia Zhang is quite smart. You can say whatever you want. I am going home and I won’t play with you anymore.

"Don't cry, Rainwater. I'm sure the old man can help you."

Xiao Weiguo suddenly said something, Yu Shui turned around to look at him, and seeing Xiao Weiguo's warm eyes, she became more determined.

So he looked at the old man eagerly.

Yi Zhonghai glanced at the sharp eyes of everyone in the courtyard and knew that he had to make things clear today before the matter could be resolved.

"Yushui, every family has a hard time these days. Every family has to count the rice they eat to get by. Remember when your father just passed away, you two brothers had no food to eat. If it weren't for the help from the people in the courtyard, you two brothers would have starved to death long ago."

Yu Shui didn't respond, but these words were enough to bring everyone's thoughts back to many years ago. Everyone resonated and was deeply touched.

Xiao Weiguo kicked the cigarette butt with his shoe and wished he could kick him away. Given the kindness of the Jia family, they might not have been able to lend a helping hand to the two brothers when they were in trouble many years ago.

Of course, except for the dead old Jia.

"You and your brother are siblings. You have been through the most difficult times together. Even if your bones are broken, your tendons are still connected. Don't be impulsive and be instigated by others!"

"Don't worry, I can't bear to see you go hungry. Just come to my house for dinner after school and let your aunt cook for you."

Yi Zhonghai, ah Yi Zhonghai, on one hand he talks about morality and righteousness, on the other hand he talks about family affection and tells the rain not to forget its roots.

With just a few words, he interpreted himself as the savior.

The aunt took the opportunity to appease Yu Shui and helped her go home. On the other side, Yi Zhonghai scolded Sha Zhu and asked him to pay Yu Shui's tuition as soon as possible.

After a series of ups and downs, the problem was solved perfectly. Seeing that the rain had stopped, everyone went home.

The second uncle was so anxious that he couldn't say a word. He regretted not having read enough books when he needed them. He wondered why he couldn't recite these Tao Te Ching words!

Xiao Weiguo smiled mischievously as he looked at the small bubbles in the sky. He gained a lot from this wave of emotional values, especially for Yi Zhonghai. There were a series of big bubbles on his head, almost like a hen laying eggs.

"Is that the end of it? This girl Yushui is no good!"

Xu Damao followed Xiao Weiguo closely, with a look of anger and unwillingness on his face. He was upset that he hadn't been able to deal with Sha Zhu.

"Yushui is a very smart girl. There should be a follow-up to this matter."

"Really? What tricks can Rainwater use to subdue the stupid pillar?"

"How would I know? Go ask the rain!"

As he said that, Xiao Weiguo slammed the moon door shut, and Xu Damao was frustrated.

"Hey, Section Chief Xiao has a different perspective."

As soon as the moon door was closed, Qin Huairu's eyes were red in the room, and it was obvious that she had just cried.

But when he saw Xiao Weiguo coming back, he forced a smile.

"Weiguo, I..."

"Sister, today's incident was caused by Banggen. I guess Yushui can't let it go. Otherwise, she will be the one who suffers from hunger in the future. This girl is not stupid."

Qin Huairu nodded to show that she understood.

"I don't know how that old woman deceived Sha Zhu. Sha Zhu is really stupid. Why did he still help the Jia family?"

Qin Huairu also couldn't understand. If she had asked him to support her in the past, it was because of her own ability. But now, even she had drawn a clear line between herself and the Jia family, so what did Sha Zhu want?

"Humph, that old woman Yu from Jia Zhang's family must have used Bang Geng's relationship with you to lure Sha Zhu."

As he spoke, Xiao Weiguo looked at Qin Huairu, and Qin Huairu directly expressed her thoughts. She didn't want to cause any misunderstanding.

"How can Bang Geng have nothing to do with me? He doesn't recognize me as his mother, and I can't control him. Go ahead and make a fuss. It has nothing to do with me."

"I'll report to Xiaodang first. You two should go to bed early."

Qin Huairu found an excuse to slip away quickly. After all, Banggeng was a piece of her flesh and blood. How could she not feel sorry for him?

But she couldn't do anything despite feeling sorry for the child. The child had been completely corrupted by Jia Zhang and didn't even recognize his mother. She had no choice but to leave him alone.

After Qin Huairu left, Jingru and Xiao Weiguo discussed the matter of Banggeng. Originally, Jingru thought that if Qin Huairu was still thinking about Banggeng, he might be able to lend a hand. But after learning from Jingru that Qin Huairu was heartbroken, he no longer cared about the matter.

The next morning, the sun had just risen and the warm and humid air was abundant.

"Oh, someone come out quickly, this is terrible, a man has hanged himself, someone come out quickly, I'm scared to death..."

Aunt Wang, who came out to empty the chamber pot with a bang, fainted from fright.

Soon the yard became lively because it was the weekend and most people were resting and didn't have to go to work. Even though they had woken up long ago, they were too lazy to go to bed. When they heard that an old man had hanged himself, they put on their clothes and came out to watch the fun.

Neighbor Zhang Fugui muttered to himself, what kind of person is this? Could it be... related to Old Jia?

"Ah... Lao Yi, come out quickly, Yu Shui is hanging himself, come and give me a hand!"

As soon as the old lady opened the door, she saw two bamboo-like legs swaying in front of her eyes. She was so scared that she covered her chest with her hands and her legs went limp. At this time, people in the yard came out and were terrified when they saw the scene. They all tried to rescue him. Only Yi Zhonghai was completely blind and almost fell down while trying to hold on.

"Why is Yushui so stubborn? Quickly straighten your legs and lift the person up."

"Everyone come out and lend a hand, someone is dying!"

Soon, everyone saved the rain, "Ahem..."

Yu Shui coughed twice, rolled his eyes, and said that he almost met the King of Hell.

I clearly saw someone coming out and then I stepped on the stool and started to move, but either I moved too fast or they moved too slow, and I almost hanged myself.

"Is the child okay? Can he still breathe?"

"How could this silly child do such a stupid thing? If it wasn't for his Aunt Wang shouting, Aunt Wang would still be in a daze!"

Everyone was busy saving the rain and completely forgot about Aunt Wang lying on the ground. Later, her son pinched her Ren Zhong and poured cold water on her, and it took a long time for her to wake up.

"My goodness, two lives were almost lost in such a short time. Why on earth would Yu Shui hang himself for no reason?"

"It must be because of what happened yesterday. Shazhu didn't raise his sister but raised someone from another family. The first master didn't uphold justice and sided with the Jia family. Otherwise, can't he hang himself in front of the first master's door?"

Xiao Weiguo hugged the collar of his cotton-padded jacket as he spoke, and his words awakened everyone.
