Siheyuan: A journey of mountains and rivers

Xu Damao fell in love with Qin Huairu at first sight, but Qin Huairu looked down on him. Xu Damao's love turned into jealousy and malice, and he began to plan how to bully Qin Huairu to show his power and majesty.

He found a group of thugs and attacked the Yi family and bullied Yi Zhonghai in an attempt to force Qin Huairu to submit to him. But Yi Zhonghai was not a pushover, he mobilized his own people and started a battle of open and covert struggle with Xu Damao.

In this courtyard full of intrigues and contradictions, He Yuzhu is a righteous man who is opposed to Xu Damao. He can't stand Xu Damao's actions and decides to stand up to protect the Yi family, especially Qin Huairu.

He Yuzhu is a brave and upright young man who uses his wisdom and courage to fight Xu Damao. He has made many like-minded friends, and together with them, they jointly resist Xu Damao's bullying and protect the interests of the Yi family and the safety of Qin Huairu.

On a quiet afternoon, He Yuzhu came to the Yi family courtyard and knocked on the door. Yi Zhonghai came to open the door himself, his face was tired, but his eyes still revealed a trace of firmness and determination.

"Yuzhu, you're here." Yi Zhonghai greeted with a smile, "Come in, I'm just going to the kitchen to see if there's anything delicious."

He Yuzhu looked at Yi Zhonghai with concern, "Uncle Yi, you look a little tired recently, is it because of that incident?"

Yi Zhonghai sighed, "Yeah, Xu Damao is getting more and more outrageous. I really can't handle it anymore."

He Yuzhu frowned slightly, "I will try my best to help you solve this problem, Uncle Yi, you and Miss Qin are my friends, I can't just sit there and do nothing."

Yi Zhonghai patted He Yuzhu's shoulder gratefully and said, "Thank you, Yuzhu. Come, let's go eat. I'll treat you to something good as a thank you for helping us."

The two walked into the kitchen, and a simple and warm scene came into view. There was a fragrant aroma in the kitchen, and an old woman was cooking delicious dishes.

"Grandma, we are here." Yi Zhonghai shouted.

The old woman turned around, her eyes gleaming with kindness, "Hey, Zhong Hai, you're here. This is..."

"This is our family's savior, He Yuzhu." Yi Zhonghai introduced, "Yuzhu, this is our grandmother, she is good at cooking all kinds of delicious dishes."

He Yuzhu smiled and nodded to the old woman, "Hello, grandma, your cooking skills are really amazing."

The old woman said with a smile on her face, "Oh, you can talk now, come sit down and have something to eat."

The three of them sat around the dining table, which was filled with sumptuous dishes, emitting tempting aromas. He Yuzhu was secretly glad that he could help the Yi family, which also made him feel satisfied and proud.

"Come, Yuzhu, try this braised pork. It's grandma's specialty." Yi Zhonghai personally picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in He Yuzhu's bowl.

He Yuzhu took it gratefully, "Thank you, Uncle Yi, I'll try it."

In the Yi family's kitchen, He Yuzhu, Yi Zhonghai and the old lady sat together enjoying the food. Suddenly, the kitchen door was pushed open, and a young man with a puffed-out chest and a protruding belly walked in. He was Xu Damao.

Xu Damao waved his hand, his eyes wandering, as if he was looking for something. "Hey, is there anything delicious here? I'm starving today." He teased, but his eyes inadvertently swept past He Yuzhu.

Yi Zhonghai's face flashed with displeasure, but he still said politely: "Brother Mao, you are here. Grandma made a lot of delicious food, you can choose whatever you like."

Xu Damao curled his lips, "Oh, these dishes are too ordinary, I don't eat them. Are there any fresh seafood or wild game?"

After hearing what Xu Damao said, the old lady's face sank slightly, but she still smiled and said, "Master Mao, these are our family's specialties, please try them."

Xu Damao raised a sarcastic smile at the corner of his mouth, "Ha, how can I possibly eat the food from you poor people?"

He Yuzhu was disdainful in his heart, but he remained calm on the surface. "Xu Damao, when you are a guest, you should learn to respect the host's hospitality."

Xu Damao sneered, "Oh, He Yuzhu, you are here too. If you don't like it, don't eat it. I won't stop you."

He Yuzhu sneered in his heart, but he knew that it was not appropriate to conflict with Xu Damao at this time, so he could only silently turn his gaze away.

In this spirited confrontation, the atmosphere in the kitchen became a little tense. Yi Zhonghai tried hard to keep smiling, but his brows were filled with worry. The old lady was busy silently. She had long been indignant about Xu Damao's attitude, but she could do nothing about it.

Although Xu Damao's arrogance and provocation made the atmosphere in the kitchen a little tense, He Yuzhu chose to remain calm. He did not care about Xu Damao's words because he knew that his goal was to protect the Yi family and Qin Huairu, not to get entangled in a verbal dispute with Xu Damao.

After finishing his meal in the kitchen, Xu Damao did not stay for long, but waved and left. Although Yi Zhonghai and the old lady still smiled on the surface, their attitude towards Xu Damao had changed a little. They clearly realized that Xu Damao's ambition and arrogance should not be underestimated, and He Yuzhu, as their ally, would play an important role in the future struggle.

He Yuzhu stayed at the Yi family, and he discussed the next countermeasures with Yi Zhonghai. They decided to join forces to strengthen the defense of the courtyard to prevent any illegal actions by Xu Damao. He Yuzhu knew that he had to be vigilant at all times and be ready to deal with possible challenges at any time.

As night fell, He Yuzhu stood quietly in the courtyard of the Yi family, looking up at the starry sky. His heart was full of determination and resolution. He knew that the upcoming struggle would be a tough battle, but he was willing to throw himself into it for justice and friendship.

Although He Yuzhu has a firm belief in protecting the Yi family and Qin Huairu, he also hides a sense of pride in his heart. This pride does not come from arrogance, but from his confidence in his abilities and his persistent pursuit of justice.

While walking alone in the courtyard, He Yuzhu recalled his own growth process. He has shown extraordinary wisdom and courage since he was a child. He has long been the focus of admiration in the courtyard. He does not feel inferior to his own abilities. On the contrary, he is confident that he can overcome any difficulties.

However, this arrogance is not self-admiration, but the source of his strength to uphold justice. He believes that he can become the pillar of the Yi family and protect them from any harm. This confidence comes not only from his understanding of his own strength, but also from his adherence to friendship, responsibility and obligation.
