Siheyuan: Learning to be the sixth

For a moment, several people seemed to have returned to the era of naked babies. You looked at me, I looked at you, and we all laughed at the same time.

Back in the yard, they started drinking again. Perhaps they were satisfied with their performance, so they all got drunk.

He Yuzhu finally sent the group of drunkards away, then he took a shower and went back to the house to lie down.

"Zhu Zi, that person is the Hou Ping you mentioned?"

"Well, Xiao'e, if you see him next time, stay away from him. He is not a good person."

"Yeah, I understand, Pillar."

The two of them were enjoying a rare quiet moment, and they fell asleep while chatting without knowing what time it was.

Hou Ping's plan failed again, so he walked back with the pastries.

I was so tired from walking that I finished the pastries in no time.

He didn't even bother to think about how to explain to his creditors when he returned.

It was dark when Hou Ping returned to his temporary residence at the steel rolling mill.

Hou Ping thought they were all asleep, so he carefully prepared to lie down.

"Hou Ping, you're back."

A sudden voice sounded, and Hou Ping's heart skipped a beat, knowing that he could not escape.

"Yeah, I'm back." He responded guiltily.

"Hou Ping, where's the money?"

"Um, um, I forgot to bring it back. My brother told me to go get it when I have time."

Seeing Hou Ping coming back so late, they really thought that Hou Ping had entered the He family. Under the faint moonlight, they exchanged glances with each other, and the leader said in tacit understanding:

"Hou Ping, we will give you a few days' grace. If you don't pay us back with interest, don't blame us for being rude."

Hou Ping was already extremely tired and wanted to have a good sleep and rest, but when he heard Huang Yong's words, he broke out in a cold sweat and became panicked. Where could he get so much money in such a short time?

At the same time, I felt a little regretful, thinking: "Why am I so greedy that I have to try the roast duck?"

Now, everything is gone, I haven't made any money, and I have very little left.

People like Hou Ping never look for the reasons in themselves when encountering problems.

"It's all He Yuzhu's fault. You said you are so rich, so what's wrong with giving me, your big brother, some money to spend? Since you are not kind, don't blame me for being unjust."

Hou Ping became more and more angry the more he thought about it, and his mentality was somewhat distorted.

I was sleeping soundly when I had a nightmare. I broke out in a cold sweat and wondered why I had such a dream for no reason.

After breakfast in the morning, before leaving the house, He Yuzhu subconsciously said to Aunt Yi and Mother Lou: "Godmother, Mom, please stay at home and take good care of the children~"

The two old men, who had never seen He Yuzhu like this, looked at each other after he left and said, "Zhuzi, what's wrong?"

The two of them still believed in metaphysics to some extent, so without much words, they both secretly told themselves to pay more attention to the child today.

At the Lou family, Xu Zhiyuan, who was really bored at home, kept saying, "Mom, I want to go find He Xiao to play."

Qin Huairu was really annoyed by his nagging, and her second child was not obedient either.

"Go ahead, and remember to give in to your brother."

"I know, mom. I'm not a child anymore."

Before Qin Huairu could finish her next words, Xu Zhiyuan had already run away.

Since a policeman named Zhao Xu lived in the courtyard, everyone felt comfortable letting the children go out to play by themselves. Besides, it was not the first time Xu Zhiyuan had done this, so Qin Huairu did not pay much attention to it.

After drinking a few cups of cat urine, Hou Ping came to the vicinity of He Yuzhu's house again with a bold idea in his mind.

When Hou Ping thought about someone telling him that He Yuzhu had several children and the eldest was a boy, he thought about taking revenge on He Yuzhu and making him never see his son again.

As luck would have it, I happened to see Xu Zhiyuan walking towards the He family with ease.

Hou Ping subconsciously thought that Xu Zhiyuan was He Yuzhu's son, and immediately, emboldened by the alcohol, he walked towards Xu Zhiyuan.

"Little friend, I'm He Yuzhu's brother. Can I take you to buy some delicious food?"

Xu Zhiyuan's current vocabulary only includes a few familiar people such as Xu Damao and He Yuzhu. This man claims to be He Yuzhu's brother, so Xu Zhiyuan subconsciously regards Hou Ping as a relative.

It was also He Yuzhu's fault for being negligent. He had never thought that in this era there would still be people who dared to do such things as taking advantage of the old woman. This was like an old lady licking arsenic, purely seeking death.

He Yuzhu, who had been worried all day, returned home as soon as he got off work. Seeing that his family was there, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He picked up the teacup but didn't bring it to his mouth.

"Zhu Zi, I'm here to pick up my Zhiyuan and take him home for dinner."

He Yuzhu thought: "When I counted the numbers just now, I didn't see Xu Zhiyuan either."

Mother Lou also looked at Aunt Yi with a puzzled look, and Aunt Yi shook her head.

"Da Mao, when did Zhiyuan come? We didn't see him. No one came this afternoon."

He Yuzhu felt that something was amiss, but he still held out a glimmer of hope. He squatted carefully and tried to calmly say to He Xiao:

"Ping An, did you see Brother Zhiyuan this afternoon?"

"Dad, my sister and I played with Dahua and Erhua this afternoon, and we didn't see Brother Zhiyuan."

"Dad, I haven't seen it either." The ignorant Ruyi said while clapping her hands.

Even though Xu Damao was sometimes a bit careless, he knew that something had happened, and it was a serious matter that could have caused the whole world to fall.

You can't be chaotic at this time. The more chaotic you are, the more time you waste.

"Da Mao, think carefully about whether Zhiyuan could go to another family."

"Zhu Zi, Huai Ru said that Zhi Yuan just wanted to come and play with Ping An. After several attempts of persuasion, Huai Ru finally agreed to his request."

"Zhu Zi, Zhiyuan won't run into a slapping woman, will he?"

Yi Zhonghai is a well-informed person. Although everyone is reluctant to think about it, the reality does not allow them to prepare for the worst.

Now that things were sorted out, no one was in the mood to eat, so they formed teams and dispersed outward with the yard as the core.

This night is destined to be a sleepless night. In this imperial city, in this era, there are still people slapping their wives. Who is this slapping in the face?

So everyone dispersed.

He Yuzhu gradually calmed down and felt that this matter was very strange. There were so many children in the alley. If they really met a shrew, Xu Zhiyuan shouldn't be the only one left. This was illogical.

In addition, someone in the yard saw Xu Zhiyuan leave the yard, so he turned directly and came to his own door.

The more He Yuzhu thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was most likely directed at him.

Thinking that the only person who disliked him recently was Hou Ping, He Yuzhu ran back like crazy, returned to the alley, started the car, stepped on the accelerator and drove straight to the steel mill.
