Siheyuan: A journey of mountains and rivers

Liu Lan was frightened by He Yuzhu's momentum, but soon returned to his rogue look. He sneered and said, "Look down on me? So what? I, Liu Lan, am unreasonable. What can you do to me?"

He Yuzhu looked at Liu Lan's rogue appearance, and his heart was burning with anger, but he knew that he should not let his anger get to his head. So he calmed down and said, "Liu Lan, what you did will not only make everyone hate you, but also put you in greater trouble. Today I will give you one last chance. You leave Aunt Wang's house immediately and don't do such rogue things again. Otherwise, I will not be polite anymore."

After hearing what He Yuzhu said, Liu Lan remained tough on the surface, but she was a little scared in her heart. After all, He Yuzhu had a high prestige in the courtyard. If he taught her a lesson, she would be in big trouble. So, Liu Lan reluctantly climbed up the stairs and walked away in disgrace.

He Yuzhu looked at Liu Lan's back and felt relieved. He knew that even though he had driven Liu Lan away this time, this scoundrel would probably not give up. Sure enough, not long after, Liu Lan started to act like a scoundrel in the courtyard again, and this time he actually targeted He Yuzhu's friend Zhang Qiang.

Zhang Qiang is an honest man who doesn't talk much but is very loyal to his friends. Liu Lan found Zhang Qiang and made up a lot of lies, saying that Zhang Qiang owed him money and threatened to bring the matter to Zhang Qiang's workplace. Zhang Qiang didn't know what to do and could only find He Yuzhu for help.

He Yuzhu was very angry after hearing what Zhang Qiang said, and he decided to teach Liu Lan a lesson this time. So he and Zhang Qiang went to find Liu Lan and prepared to expose his lies in person.

When they found Liu Lan, he was making trouble on the street. When he saw He Yuzhu and Zhang Qiang coming, he immediately acted arrogant and unreasonable. He Yuzhu stepped forward and said coldly: "Liu Lan, you really pissed me off this time. If you dare to make trouble again, I will call the police and let them deal with you."

When Liu Lan heard that they were going to call the police, her face changed, but she still said stubbornly: "Call the police if you want, what should I be afraid of?"

He Yuzhu sneered and said, "Okay, then we'll just wait and see." After that, he took out his cell phone and really called the police.

Liu Lan finally panicked when he saw He Yuzhu was serious. He didn't expect things to get to this point. So he quickly changed his words and said, "No, no, no, Brother He, I was wrong, isn't that enough? I won't dare to do it again."

He Yuzhu looked at Liu Lan's pitiful appearance and sneered in his heart, but he knew that threatening alone would not solve the problem. So he said, "Liu Lan, I can let you go this time, but you must promise not to act like a rogue again. If I find you bullying your neighbors again, I will definitely not show mercy."

Liu Lan nodded repeatedly and promised that she would never do it again. He Yuzhu then gave up and left with Zhang Qiang.

After He Yuzhu and Zhang Qiang came back from Liu Lan, they couldn't calm down for a long time. Although he temporarily subdued Liu Lan, he knew in his heart that this scoundrel would not turn over a new leaf so easily. Walking on the bluestone road in the courtyard, He Yuzhu thought about what had happened in the past few days, frowning. He suddenly remembered a piece of news he heard a few days ago, about Guo Dapiezi.

Guo Dapiezi was once a famous repairman in the courtyard, with superb skills and good relationships, but for some reason, he suddenly announced that he would no longer work and even sold his tools. This caused quite a stir in the courtyard, and everyone was speculating why he suddenly decided to give up his career. He Yuzhu also had doubts, but because he was busy dealing with Liu Lan's affairs, he never had the opportunity to inquire.

That evening, He Yuzhu decided to go talk to Guo Dapiaozi in person to see if he could find out the truth. He knocked on Guo Dapiaozi's door, and when Guo Dapiaozi saw He Yuzhu, he was a little surprised, but he still welcomed him into the house warmly.

"Brother Guo, why do you suddenly stop doing repairs recently? This is a big deal in our yard." He Yuzhu asked straight to the point.

Guo Da Piezi was silent for a while, then sighed and said, "Hey, Yuzhu, it's not that I don't want to do it anymore, it's just that I ran into some troubles."

"What's the trouble? Can you tell me about it?" He Yuzhu continued to ask.

Guo Dapiezi seemed a little hesitant, but finally decided to tell the truth: "Actually, it was Liu Lan. He always came to find fault, saying that the things I repaired were not right, and threatened to sue me. I really couldn't stand it, so I decided to quit."

After hearing this, He Yuzhu was furious. It turned out that Liu Lan was behind this. He suppressed his anger and asked calmly, "What did Liu Lan say?"

Guo Dapiezi smiled bitterly and shook his head: "He said that the appliances I repaired had problems, and even said that I stole his things. You know, I have been in this business for so many years, and I have never encountered such a thing, but he just wouldn't give in, which made me exhausted."

He Yuzhu had already made up his mind when he heard this. He patted Guo Dapiaozi on the shoulder and comforted him, "Brother Guo, don't worry, leave this matter to me. I will definitely let Liu Lan know what it means to suffer the consequences of one's own actions."

After leaving Guo Dapiaozi's house, He Yuzhu felt even more depressed. He walked on the dim street, thinking about how to completely solve Liu Lan's problem. After returning home, he picked up the phone and dialed the number of an old friend.

A familiar voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hello, Yuzhu, long time no see, why did you suddenly think of calling me?"

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Old Li, I need your help with something."

Lao Li is an old friend of He Yuzhu. He once had a brilliant career in law, but later left the job for some reason. However, he still maintains a wide network of contacts and deep legal knowledge. He Yuzhu feels that to solve Liu Lan's problem, he may be able to draw on Lao Li's wisdom and experience.

The two met in an old teahouse. After they sat down, He Yuzhu recounted the whole story in detail. Old Li listened very carefully, nodded from time to time, and finally said: "Yuzhu, your problem is indeed not easy to solve. People like Liu Lan are typical scoundrels, and it won't work just by reasoning."

He Yuzhu sighed: "I thought so too. That's why I came to you to see if there is any good solution."

Old Li pondered for a while and said, "I have an idea. Maybe we can try it. We can collect some evidence and make his evil deeds public. As long as there is enough evidence, everyone in the hospital will stand on your side. At that time, no matter how shameless Liu Lan is, it will be useless."
