Siheyuan: A journey of mountains and rivers

He couldn't understand why Liang Ladi was so insistent. The rules were clearly agreed upon by everyone, so why did he have to quibble over this issue? He Yuzhu understood that this was not just a simple dispute, but a conflict involving different interests and backgrounds.

"Can't they be understanding?" He Yuzhu muttered to himself, feeling helpless about the situation. He knew that handling such disputes was not a one-man show, but required understanding and cooperation from everyone.

At this moment, Liu Lan walked to He Yuzhu and patted his shoulder gently: "Brother Yuzhu, don't be too sad. People like Liang Ladi are just a little stubborn."

He Yuzhu looked up at Liu Lan and smiled bitterly: "I know, Sister Lan, thank you for your concern. It's just that this matter makes me a little confused."

Liu Lan sat next to him and said softly, "Perhaps we can think of other ways to see if there is a way that he can accept."

He Yuzhu nodded and looked at Liu Lan with gratitude in his heart: "Sister Lan, you are always so optimistic. Perhaps we can try again."

The two of them sat quietly in the middle of the courtyard without speaking. He Yuzhu felt Liu Lan's warm shoulder and gradually calmed down. This kind of companionship and support made him feel that he was not alone in this courtyard.

Suddenly, a noise came from the yard, interrupting their silence. He Yuzhu looked up and saw a group of children in the yard playing happily and laughing. The carefree smiles of these children made He Yuzhu smile.

Liu Lan also looked at the children, with a glimmer of hope in her eyes: "Seeing them, I always feel that all the problems are not so important anymore."

He Yuzhu smiled bitterly and nodded: "Yes, they are truly carefree. Perhaps we do need to learn something from them."

The conversation between the two was gradually drowned out by the laughter of the children, and the atmosphere in the yard gradually returned to its former tranquility and harmony. He Yuzhu began to have some new ideas in his mind. He realized that solving problems is not always a head-on approach, and sometimes you need to think and act from a broader perspective.

As the afternoon sun shone in the yard, He Yuzhu came to the door of Qin Huairu's small yard with the prepared pork belly. He knocked on the door gently. After a while, Qin Huairu opened the door and saw the pork belly in He Yuzhu's hand. She couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Brother Yuzhu, what's wrong? Why did you send me so much pork belly so suddenly?"

He Yuzhu handed it over with a smile: "Sister Qin, this is a gift from my heart. You gave me a lot of advice a few days ago, and I think you have worked hard, so I prepared this little gift."

Qin Huairu took the pork belly and showed gratitude on her face: "Oh, you are so polite. But this pork belly is not cheap."

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "You're welcome, Sister Qin. I hope you like this little gift."

Qin Huairu took the pork belly and smiled: "Of course I like it, thank you, Brother Yuzhu."

The two stood in front of the door, smiling. He Yuzhu felt Qin Huairu's joy and couldn't help feeling happy. He knew that this small gift might not solve all the problems, but at least it could express his respect and gratitude to Qin Huairu.

"By the way, Sister Qin, how do you think we should better deal with what happened last night?" He Yuzhu suddenly asked.

Qin Huairu pondered for a moment and said, "I think your courtyard needs more communication and understanding. Liang Ladi and the others may just feel ignored, so they insist so much."

He Yuzhu nodded: "Well, I have similar ideas. Maybe I can go find them again and have a good talk."

Qin Huairu agreed and said, "Yes, communication is the key to solving problems. Go and give it a try. You may get unexpected results."

He Yuzhu looked at Qin Huairu deeply, feeling grateful in his heart: "Thank you for your advice, Sister Qin. I will consider it carefully."

The story begins on an ordinary summer afternoon, with the sun shining through the gaps in the leaves onto the stone floor of the yard. He Yuzhu is sitting on a bamboo chair in the yard, holding a book in his hand, leisurely enjoying the rare quiet time. Suddenly, a fierce quarrel is heard outside the gate, breaking the tranquility.

He Yuzhu put down his book and walked to the gate of the courtyard. He saw his neighbor Liu Lan arguing with a strange man. Liu Lan was a well-known rogue in the courtyard. He had nothing to do and often caused trouble. He Yuzhu frowned, wondering what Liu Lan was up to again, so he walked up to mediate.

"What's the matter? Why are you so angry?" He Yuzhu asked.

As soon as Liu Lan saw He Yuzhu, he immediately turned his attention to him and shouted, "Brother He, you came at the right time! This person owes me money and doesn't pay it back, and he also calls me a liar! Please give me some advice!"

The strange man looked very angry. He gasped and said, "I don't even know you! Why do you say I owe you money?"

He Yuzhu carefully looked at the strange man. He didn't look like a liar. Instead, Liu Lan's unreasonable appearance made him suspicious. So He Yuzhu calmly said to Liu Lan: "Don't worry, let's talk it out slowly. You said he owed you money, do you have any proof?"

Liu Lan was obviously a little guilty. He stammered and couldn't explain it clearly. He just kept emphasizing that the other party owed him a large sum of money. He Yuzhu saw this situation and knew what was going on. He said to the strange man, "Don't worry. I'm here. No one can bully you. Go back first. I'll take care of this matter."

The strange man looked at He Yuzhu gratefully, then turned and left. Liu Lan saw this, her face was ugly, but she couldn't get angry, so she could only glare at He Yuzhu angrily, and left muttering.

A few days later, news of Liu Lan came from the courtyard again. This time, he actually blamed another neighbor, Aunt Wang. Aunt Wang was a warm-hearted person. She was always the first to lend a hand to anyone in need. But this time, Liu Lan said that Aunt Wang owed him money and refused to pay it back.

Of course Aunt Wang didn't admit it, but Liu Lan stayed at her door and refused to leave, even threatening to make a big deal out of it. When He Yuzhu found out, he was very angry. He felt that Liu Lan had gone too far this time. So he decided to talk to Liu Lan in person.

When He Yuzhu found Liu Lan, he was lying on the steps in front of Aunt Wang's house, looking like he was determined to keep his promise. He Yuzhu walked up to him and said sternly, "Liu Lan, are you going to stop being so unreasonable? Do you know that if you do this, everyone in the courtyard will look down on you!"
