Siheyuan: A journey of mountains and rivers

A few days later, Liu Guangfu received a summons from the court. It turned out that the "developer" sued Liu Guangfu for contract fraud, arguing that he used improper means in the transaction. Liu Guangfu was stunned for a moment, as he had never thought that he would fall into such a trap.

He Yuzhu and Xu Damao stood at the door of the court, and saw Liu Guangfu's miserable state, and they were secretly proud of themselves. Xu Damao whispered: "Yuzhu, Liu Guangfu is completely screwed this time."

He Yuzhu nodded: "Yes, Brother Damao, I can finally let my father rest in peace."

However, He Yuzhu also knew that although this method was successful, it was somewhat risky. In the future, they still had to be cautious and not take it lightly. He decided to have a good talk with his father to see how to better protect their home.

At night, He Yuzhu sat by his father's bed and whispered, "Dad, we won this time, but I always feel that this is not a solution. We should come up with a longer-term plan."

He Dahe nodded, sighed and said: "Yuzhu, you are right. We can't always be so passive. We need a more stable method."

He Yuzhu thought for a moment and said, "I plan to learn some legal knowledge and learn more about rights protection methods. Only by understanding the law can we better protect ourselves."

The father looked at his son with satisfaction, nodded and said, "Okay, Yuzhu, you have grown up and have taken on responsibilities. Dad supports you."

In the following days, He Yuzhu began to study legal knowledge seriously, while continuing to work hard and take care of his father. He knew that the road ahead would still be full of challenges, but he was no longer the impulsive boy, but an adult with plans and goals.

The neighbors in the courtyard also looked at He Yuzhu with new eyes and praised his bravery and intelligence. He Yuzhu knew that all this was inseparable from everyone's support and help. He was determined to work together with everyone in the future to protect this courtyard.

He Yuzhu thought the situation had calmed down temporarily, but he still had a stone hanging in his heart. Although Liu Guangfu was temporarily defeated, he felt that this opponent would not give up easily. Sure enough, not long after, some rumors came from the courtyard again. Liu Guangfu's wife Lou Xiao'e began to move among the neighbors, and seemed to be planning something.

One day, He Yuzhu was reading a legal book at home when he heard a commotion outside the door. He felt nervous and immediately got up to see what was going on. He opened the door and saw many people standing in the yard. In the middle was Lou Xiao'e, who was telling something in tears.

"Everyone, please give us some justice! He Yuzhu and his gang used underhanded tricks to frame my son Guangfu. Now Guangfu has been arrested. What should I and my children do? You have to stand up for us!" Lou Xiao'e cried, tears streaming down her face, with an extremely painful expression.

He Yuzhu stepped forward and said coldly: "Lou Xiao'e, you are making trouble for no reason. Guangfu of your family did something bad and now he is getting retribution. It is his own fault."

Lou Xiao'e suddenly raised her head, her eyes flashing with resentment: "He Yuzhu, don't be so proud! You used such despicable means to deal with us, do you think I don't know? You framed Guangfu, I must let everyone know your true colors!"

Her words made the neighbors in the courtyard whisper to each other, and some people seemed to be wavering. He Yuzhu's heart sank, knowing that things were getting tricky. Xu Damao came over, stood beside He Yuzhu, and said calmly: "Lou Xiao'e, don't slander me! Guangfu's guilt is irrefutable. He took the wrong path himself, so you can't blame others."

Lou Xiao'e sneered, "Really? If everyone knew how you set up the trap, would they still think so?"

He Yuzhu frowned and began to think about countermeasures. He knew that he had to calm down the storm as soon as possible, otherwise the trust they had worked so hard to build would be broken. He took a deep breath, tried to keep himself calm, and said to the neighbors who were watching: "Please listen to me. Guangfu did do a lot of illegal things, and we just exposed his crimes. Lou Xiaoe is now saying that we framed him, in order to divert attention and cover up Guangfu's crimes."

Lou Xiao'e shouted angrily, "You are lying! He Yuzhu, do you dare to say that you didn't set up this trap? Do you dare to swear?"

He Yuzhu was silent for a moment, then said firmly: "I don't need to swear. Everything I did was to protect me and my family from injustice. Everyone has seen what Guangfu did."

At this time, a voice came from the crowd: "He Yuzhu is right! Guangfu has always bullied people. This time it is his own fault and he can't blame others." The speaker was the respected old man Li in the courtyard. His appearance eased the situation.

Old Li walked up to He Yuzhu and patted him on the shoulder: "Yuzhu, you did the right thing, we support you."

He Yuzhu felt warm in his heart and nodded: "Thank you, Uncle Li."

However, Lou Xiao'e did not give up. She said loudly: "Old Li, don't be deceived by them. I have evidence to prove that they deliberately framed Guangfu!"

Hearing this, everyone was shocked. Xu Damao frowned and said, "What evidence? Show it to me!"

Lou Xiao'e proudly took out a stack of documents and handed them to everyone. He Yuzhu took them, took a closer look, and his face became solemn. These documents did contain some evidence against them. Although it was not completely true, it was enough to complicate things.

He knew that there must be a clear response plan. So he looked at Xu Damao and whispered, "Brother Damao, we have to find a way to prove our innocence."

Xu Damao nodded: "I understand, we can't let her succeed."

They immediately decided to find the "developer" friend who helped them design the trap, hoping that he could come forward to clarify the facts. After many twists and turns, they finally found the friend. After listening to their request, the friend frowned and said, "Things have become complicated. I am willing to come forward, but you should also be prepared. This may cause a bigger storm."

He Yuzhu and Xu Damao looked at each other and said firmly: "We have no way out. We can only face it head-on."

A few days later, they arranged a public clarification meeting and invited the neighbors of the courtyard house and several influential people in the urban construction department. The "developer" friend recounted the whole incident in detail at the meeting, proving that He Yuzhu and Xu Damao only wanted to expose Liu Guangfu's crimes and did not maliciously frame him.
