Siheyuan: Being a fisherman in 1962

Jia Zhang was proud of her status as the "new king", but she had never expected that the changes in the room were far more complicated than she had imagined.

Although Erpang stopped, there was an unyielding light in his eyes.

It is difficult for her to compete with Jia Zhang alone, but that does not mean she will surrender.

She decided to find allies to fight against this sudden "new king".

Sha Zhu, Xu Damao, and Er Daye, who once had friction with each other in the courtyard, have gradually established a special friendship in the special environment of prison.

They supported each other, faced difficulties together, and became each other's support in difficult times.

And the third uncle, who was once known for his wisdom in the courtyard, is now imprisoned in a small dark room for a long time because of his past behavior.

Loneliness and darkness made him go crazy. His eyes no longer had the clarity they once had, only endless confusion and fear.

One day, the prison doctor noticed the abnormal behavior of the third uncle and suspected that he had a mental illness, so he sent him to a mental hospital for examination.

However, after a series of examinations and tests, the doctors did not find any signs of mental illness in the old man.

This confused them and made the situation of Uncle Sanye even more complicated.

At the same time, Erpang found Shazhu and others and gathered them together.

She told them what Jia Zhang had done and the resentment and anger in her heart.

After hearing this, Sha Zhu and others expressed their willingness to help Er Pang and fight against the hegemony of the Jia Zhang family.

Time flies, and half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, the prison gate slowly opened and a slightly hunched figure walked out.

It was the third uncle who had not been seen for a long time.

The traces of time are engraved on his face.

Sha Zhu, Er Pang and Xu Damao rushed over after hearing the news, only to see the Third Uncle in a clean and neat prison uniform, completely different from the man who was dying in the small dark room.

"Uncle, what are you doing..." Sha Zhu said in astonishment.

The third uncle smiled and said, "In the past six months, I have thought a lot in the small dark room and understood a lot. In the past, I was too obsessed with fame and fortune, but ignored the true nature of human nature. Now, I have changed my mind, just to regain my freedom as soon as possible."

After hearing this, everyone was moved.

They sat around the third uncle, feeling deeply moved.

"Uncle, it's great that you're back!" Erpang said excitedly, "We have been looking for an opportunity to fight against the Jia Zhang family. Now that you have joined us, our strength has increased."

"I've heard about that woman Jia Zhang a long time ago. She relied on her power to bully others in the courtyard, and now she dares to bully others in prison. Humph, I will let her know that this is not the place for her to run wild!"

Everyone smiled at each other, as if the anger in their hearts had found an outlet.

Just then, there was a loud noise.

I saw Jia Zhang and a group of his men walking over arrogantly.

She saw the third uncle and others at a glance, and a disdainful smile appeared on her face.

"Hey, isn't this our 'old acquaintance'? How come, after not seeing you for half a year, you still haven't learned how to behave?" Jia Zhang said sarcastically.

The third uncle stood up and stared at her coldly: "Jia Zhang, this is not the place for you to act wildly. Although we are in trouble, we will never give in to you!"

Jia Zhang's face changed. She obviously didn't expect the Third Master to refute her so directly. She glared at him but didn't dare to act rashly.

In a corner of the prison, the third uncle, Shazhu, Erpang, and Xu Damao sat together, discussing how to fight against the hegemony of the Jia Zhang family.

The four figures sat closely together, like four tigers ready to launch a fierce attack on the enemy at any time.

On the other side, Qin Huairu ran over in a panic, very anxious and worried.

"Banggeng...he is unconscious!" Qin Huairu said breathlessly.

Bang Geng's face was pale, his eyes were closed, and he remained unconscious. Qin Huairu stood beside the bed, feeling heartbroken.

Looking at her son's lifeless face, she could only shed tears.

However, crying cannot solve the problem. You must be strong to take good care of your son.

In order to prevent his emotions from affecting Banggeng's recovery, Qin Huairu placed him in Shazhu's house.

With Banggeng's coma, some changes also took place in the courtyard.

The originally bustling yard became deserted because so many people were imprisoned.

Some residents chose to move out for fear of being implicated, making the yard appear even more empty and desolate.

Qin Huairu stood in the yard, watching those once familiar faces disappear one by one, and a feeling of desolation welled up in her heart.

Deep in the courtyard, Lou Xiao'e and Qin Jingru were busy running their newly opened shop.

Their faces are filled with satisfaction and joy. Their business has expanded rapidly in the past six months, not only bringing rich returns to themselves, but also bringing many conveniences to the residents in the alley.

As business prospers, the atmosphere in the courtyard gradually improves.

The courtyard, which originally seemed deserted due to the imprisonment, has now regained its vitality due to the return of Lou Xiao'e and Qin Jingru, as if injecting new vitality into this land and allowing the residents to see hope and change.

However, not everyone welcomes this new force.

The old man, who once enjoyed a high status in the courtyard, was now feeling frustrated because he could not find a suitable chess friend.

He sat on the stone bench in the yard with a frown on his face.

Qin Huairu saw it, walked up to him, and said softly: "Uncle, how about I play a few games of chess with you?"

The old man raised his head and looked Qin Huairu up and down, seeming a little unconvinced: "You? You can play chess?"

So the two of them set up the chessboard on the stone table.

At the beginning, Qin Huairu's chess skills were still immature, but as time went on, she improved rapidly and soon she was able to compete with the old man.

The old man was more and more surprised as he played. He never expected that this usually unknown woman had such outstanding chess skills.

Qin Huairu also found new joy and confidence in the process, and her face was filled with an unprecedented glow.

The warm spring sun slanted into the courtyard. Qin Huairu pushed open the door quietly, with an indescribable joy on her face.

Whenever night fell, Qin Huairu and the old man would close the door, sit at the table, and concentrate on fiddling with the chess pieces on the board.

Occasionally, Qin Huairu would let out a clear laugh, which sounded particularly pleasant in the quiet night, but also aroused some imagination of the neighbors outside the yard.

At the beginning, Auntie was quite supportive of the two playing chess, thinking that this was a good way for Qin Huairu and Uncle to enhance their relationship.

But as time went by, the aunt gradually realized that she knew nothing about chess and lost interest in it.

However, she always believed in the innocence of Qin Huairu and Daye. After all, they were both people she trusted.
