Staying would only continue to lose face, so Yi Zhonghai just slipped away.

What surprised Lu Zhenyuan was that Yi Zhonghai did not return to his home, but walked out of the yard.

"Shazhu, pay the money quickly!" Yan Bugui lowered the door panel, walked into the room and grabbed Shazhu's sleeve and refused to let go.

Sha Zhu was furious.

"Uncle, can't you see that I'm still injured? Besides, was it me who broke the door? Whoever broke the door should be held responsible!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Bugui turned around and glanced at the yard, meeting Lu Zhenyuan's half-smile.

"I don't care! Anyway, you broke my door, so you have to pay for it, or I will call the police to arrest you!"

"you……"

Sha Zhu was furious, and felt a pain in his heart again. He could only nod and agree, "Okay! I'll give it to you."

As he spoke, he took out a handful of change from his pocket and threw it on the ground.

"That's all, love or not!"

Yan Bugui took a look at the change of less than three yuan, then looked at his door panel which was still intact even though it had fallen off, nodded in agreement, and put the money away.

"Get out now, do you still want to sleep in my house?"

Seeing that Yan Bugui turned his face away and refused to recognize him, Sha Zhu became angry. He staggered to his feet, holding his chest, and barely walked out the door.

He even spat at the end.

Upon seeing this, Yan Bugui snorted coldly and didn't bother with this ruffian.

Lu Zhenyuan just watched all this coldly. It was natural that he smashed the door of Yan Bugui's house on purpose.

Putting aside his personal emotions, Yan Bugui is also the third uncle in charge of the courtyard. Seeing that Sha Zhu was acting wild and ignoring everything, didn't he just want to use him to teach Sha Zhu a lesson?

Since I've let you take advantage of me, isn't it okay for me to vent my anger at the same time?

Obviously, Yan Bugui also saw this, so he did not hold him accountable, but instead kept holding Sha Zhu accountable.

After Sha Zhu walked out of the door, he glared at Lu Zhenyuan fiercely, but having just suffered a loss, he did not dare to continue shouting.

Seeing his sister carrying a bucket to the front door of the Lu family, he immediately took out his anger on He Yushui, "Yushui! Go home!"

He Yushui raised her head, glanced at her silly brother, and then looked at Lu Zhenyuan.

Lu Zhenyuan said nothing.

He Yushui's reaction made Sha Zhu feel embarrassed, and he immediately shouted angrily: "My words are no longer effective, right? Do you still want living expenses? You have become too arrogant, right?"

He Yushui pursed her lips, feeling humiliated and aggrieved at the same time.

Especially when she saw the neighbors around her pointing fingers at her.

Lu Zhenyuan stopped watching the show and taunted, "Silly Zhu, you are so promising that you let your sister clean your ass. I'm telling you! If you don't clean up for me today, I'll beat you up every time I see you!"

"If you don't believe it, just try it!"

Sha Zhu was so angry that his chest was about to explode. It was always him, Sha Zhu, who spoke harshly to others. When had he ever let others be so arrogant to him?

But despite feeling the severe pain in his chest, he endured it.

"Okay, okay! You wait for me, kid!" Sha Zhu said harshly and limped to the backyard.

Lu Zhenyuan's voice came again at this time.

"Next time you sweep the courtyard, sweep it carefully. Also, there isn't that much dust on our porch, so you don't have to worry about it! But...if I find out that someone is deliberately sweeping dust in front of our house, I will break his teeth!"

When Lu Zhenyuan said this, he was not only talking to Sha Zhu, but also glanced at the chattering beast.

Sha Zhu has offended many people. This time Yan Bugui dared to take advantage of him. There is no guarantee that no one will deliberately cause trouble next time, so it is better to say it in advance.

The eldest son of the Du family, who had just been bullied by Sha Zhu, met Lu Zhenyuan's gaze and dodged. It was obvious that he had no good ideas in mind and never expected to be caught by Lu Zhenyuan.

Lu Zhenyuan snorted lightly, walked to Aunt Mei's room and sat down, called Ji Danian over, combed its feathers while supervising He Yushui to clean.

This girl needs to be taught a lesson. Don't think she is the only one with a brain.

Yan Bugui's family was repairing the door, the Du family members were chatting and doing their own things, and Widow Niu and her daughter were washing clothes.

Lu Zhenyuan was a little confused. Why did this widow always have endless clothes to wash?

"Aunt Lanhua, I saw Sister Xiu washing clothes during the day. Why are you still washing clothes when you get home from get off work?" The Aunt Lanhua he was referring to was Widow Niu, and Sister Xiu was Widow Niu's daughter, who was two years older than him.

Widow Niu is actually no more than thirty-five years old and has an ordinary appearance, but because she is the only one supporting the family, she looks like she is in her forties.

Widow Niu's surname is not Niu, but Sister Xiu's name is Niu Xiuxiu. But at that time there was a saying that "marry a chicken, follow the chicken; marry a dog, follow the dog", so people usually called her Widow Niu behind her back which was not very polite. He really didn't know her real surname.

It was just that Widow Niu could talk to Aunt Mei for a few words. She heard Aunt Mei call her Lanhua, so she called her Aunt Lanhua.

"Xiao Lu, your sister Xiu washed the clothes she had taken off before. I got them dirty while working today, so I'll wash them myself." Widow Niu said in a kind tone.

Lu Zhenyuan also took the opportunity to chat with him.

"Aunt Lanhua, I heard that you work in a steel mill?"

"Well, in the kitchen, I just wash the vegetables and help out." Widow Niu said, then she remembered something and said, "I'm in school. Xiao Lu, you're in middle school, right?"

"Yeah, that's right."

Widow Niu sighed and glanced at her daughter who was silent beside her. "It would be great if your sister Xiu could be as worry-free as you are. She would be able to achieve great things in the future."

Lu Zhenyuan did not respond.

Through Aunt Mei, he also knew something about the situation of Widow Niu's family. Niu Xiuxiu dropped out of school early and did not even finish elementary school, but it seemed that her grades were average when she was in school.

But he is usually quiet and doesn't like to talk.

Lu Zhenyuan thought that this might be related to the family environment, and there might be other reasons for his dropping out of school. Having experienced the influence of the information age, he knew all too well the various situations in which children voluntarily dropped out of school.

Most of them were bullied at school, and due to the environment, they had a little inferiority complex, so they chose to avoid it and dropped out of school.

Niu Xiuxiu's situation should be similar.

Took a glance.

Sure enough, no matter what Widow Niu said, Niu Xiuxiu just kept wringing out her clothes.

He shook his head secretly. Saints are ruthless, while the Virgin Mary is compassionate, but he is not the Virgin Mary. He will basically stay away from things that do not involve his own interests and have nothing to do with him.

Widow Niu spoke again at this time, "Xiao Lu, I want to ask you a favor."

Lu Zhenyuan raised his eyebrows and thought to himself, here it comes.

He naturally didn't believe that Widow Niu would bring up his schooling for no reason. Even if it was just idle chat, she mentioned Niu Xiuxiu later. Didn't this indicate that there would be a follow-up?

"What do you mean by please or not? Aunt Lanhua, you tell me, I'm listening."

Widow Niu looked a little hesitant. She glanced at her silent daughter, took a deep breath, and said, "Xiao Lu, you are not graduating yet, so I want to ask you if you can sell the books you used to me."

"Your sister Xiu dropped out of school early, but I still want her to learn more, just to let her kill time at home."

Just listen to it to kill time. I didn't expect that Widow Niu is quite thoughtful and knows that knowledge can change destiny.

But Lu Zhenyuan shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, Aunt Lanhua, I will leave all my books to Yuyan."

Indeed, Xiao Yuyan had already reserved his books. In fact, Xiao Yuyan has been picking up his used books since she started school.

"Oh, I see. It was my fault that I forgot about this."

Widow Niu was a little disappointed, but other than that she had no other reaction. This alone made her better than those beasts.

Lu Zhenyuan thought about it and glanced at Niu Xiuxiu.

Although the other party had been acting indifferent and minding his own business, when he refused just now, it was obvious that his movements were a bit unnatural. It seemed that he was not as withdrawn as he appeared, and there was still some psychological activity.

"How about this, let's not talk about money. I have two classmates who I get along well with. I'll tell you the address. If Xiujie needs anything, just tell her my name and tell them the grade's books you need."

"Of course, Aunt Lanhua, if you find it troublesome, you can also ask the people in our courtyard."

"Thank you, Xiao Lu." Widow Niu thanked him immediately.

Lu Zhenyuan also told the two of them the addresses of Liu Yan and Tang Tang's homes. The addresses of Liu Yan and Tang Tang's homes were told to him by the two girls. He hoped that he would have time to visit them.

But he never went there once.

"Thank you, Xiao Lu." Niu Xiuxiu rarely spoke and said thank you.

Lu Zhenyuan nodded slightly. This thank you also confirmed that Niu Xiuxiu's dropping out of school was probably as he guessed. But the logic was still the same, so he kept his distance from it.

If we can seek some small help, we will do it if it is convenient. After all, we still have some human touch. It is best not to get involved in big problems. Besides, the other party has not asked for anything. What will happen if we take the initiative to help?

If you don’t know, you might think he has some intentions towards the mother and daughter.
