Siheyuan: Killing the gods against the will of heaven, causing great suffering to all living beings

Han Xiaodong was about to retort when Yi Zhonghai suddenly stood up and said, "You guys are really lawless! This is a courtyard, not a place for you to mess around!"

When those people saw Yi Zhonghai coming out, they seemed a little panicked, but they still said with gritted teeth: "We are not afraid of you, we must settle this account today!"

Han Xiaodong and Yi Zhonghai looked at each other and made a decision. He said coldly, "Okay, since you want to settle the score, then come on, we will accompany you to the end!"

Before he finished speaking, Yan Bugui, Liu Haizhong and others came out, holding sticks in their hands, ready to fight at any time. Those people obviously didn't expect that Han Xiaodong had so many people, and they began to waver.

"You...what are you doing?" The man's voice began to tremble.

Han Xiaodong sneered and said, "We just don't want to be bullied. If you feel dissatisfied, just come up and try!"

Those people looked at each other, but in the end they didn't have the courage to step forward. They knew that they had hit a wall today, so they had to retreat in disappointment.

"Han Xiaodong, you've been cruel this time! But we won't let it go just like that!" The leader made a harsh remark and left in embarrassment with the others.

Han Xiaodong looked at their backs and felt relieved, but he also knew that it was not over yet. He turned around and said to everyone, "Thank you for your support. Today's event is really thanks to you."

Yi Zhonghai patted Han Xiaodong on the shoulder and said, "You're welcome. We are neighbors and should help each other. If you have any problems, just let me know."

Han Xiaodong nodded, his heart full of gratitude. He knew that with such a neighbor, he was no longer alone.

In the following days, Han Xiaodong and his neighbors strengthened the precautions in the yard and everyone was on high alert. Han Xiaodong knew that the hooligans might come back, but he was no longer afraid because he knew that with so many neighbors who cared about him, he would be able to cope with any difficulties.

One day, Han Xiaodong was repairing an old chair in the yard when he heard a commotion outside. He went out and saw a lot of people gathered at the gate of the yard, as if something had happened.

"Han Xiaodong, come and take a look, someone has fainted!" a neighbor shouted anxiously.

Han Xiaodong ran over immediately and found a middle-aged man lying on the ground with a pale face.

On a summer afternoon, the courtyard is still full of laughter. Han Xiaodong is busy in his small workshop, fiddling with some parts and wires. Since the success of the tape man last time, he has started to think about something more interesting. This time, he decided to make a simple sweeping robot, which can not only reduce his labor burden, but also provide convenience for the neighbors in the yard.

Han Xiaodong thought that this sweeping robot would definitely be a good helper for everyone. After several days of hard work, Han Xiaodong finally completed his work. He named the robot "Xiao Sao" and conducted a test in the yard. Xiao Sao was indeed very flexible, moving around and automatically cleaning up the garbage on the ground.

"Brother Han Xiaodong, your thing is amazing!" When Banggeng saw Xiaosao, his eyes sparkled with curiosity.

Han Xiaodong smiled and said, "It can clean the yard automatically, saving a lot of effort."

"That's great! I don't have to sweep the floor anymore!"

Han Xiaodong nodded: "You can help me look after the broom and see if there is anything it needs to be improved."

Banggeng patted his chest and assured: "No problem, Brother Han Xiaodong, I will take good care of it!"

However, things did not go as smoothly as Han Xiaodong imagined. One day, Xiao Sao was working in the yard when he accidentally knocked over a porcelain bottle at the door of Bang Geng's house. The porcelain bottle broke with a crisp sound. Bang Geng heard the sound, ran out and took a look, and was immediately dumbfounded.

"It's over, what should I do now?" Banggeng's heart tightened, because that porcelain bottle was the most precious thing of his mother Jia Zhang.

Sure enough, Jia Zhang heard the sound and rushed out of the house immediately. When she saw the broken porcelain bottles on the ground, her face suddenly turned ashen.

"Who did this?" Jia Zhang asked angrily.

Bang Geng looked at Han Xiaodong in fear. Han Xiaodong sighed and walked forward: "Aunt Jia, this is my fault. The sweeping robot I made accidentally knocked over the porcelain bottle. I will compensate you."

When Jia Zhang heard this, she was even more furious: "Compensation? What are you going to use to compensate? This is my ancestral treasure. Do you know how much it is worth?"

Han Xiaodong took a deep breath and said as calmly as possible: "Aunt Jia, I will find a way to compensate you for your losses. No matter how much money it is, I will try my best."

Jia Zhang sneered, "Do you think you can get rid of me with just a few words? If you don't give me an explanation today, this matter will not end!"

At this time, the neighbors gathered around. Qin Huairu couldn't stand it anymore and stepped forward to persuade them: "Sister Jia, we are all neighbors, and Han Xiaodong didn't do it on purpose. Do you think this matter can be resolved properly?"

Jia Zhang looked disdainful: "Solve it properly? Humph, what do you people know! This is our family's treasure, it is worth a thousand gold!"

Liu Haizhong also came over to help: "Sister Jia, Han Xiaodong has already apologized. For the sake of our neighbors, please don't make things difficult for him."

Jia Zhang refused to give in: "No! I won't leave until this matter is resolved today!"

Han Xiaodong looked at Jia Zhang's attitude and felt helpless, but he knew that this matter could not be delayed. He decided to go back and get some money, hoping to temporarily calm Jia Zhang's anger.

"Auntie Jia, please wait a moment. I'll go get some money and compensate you first." Han Xiaodong said, turned around and walked back into the house.

Back in the house, Han Xiaodong took out a stack of money from the drawer, which he had saved by living frugally. He knew that this money was far from enough to compensate for the porcelain vase, but it was better than doing nothing.

Han Xiaodong returned to the yard and handed the money to Jia Zhang: "Aunt Jia, this is all the money I can take out now. You take it first, and I will make up the rest slowly."

Jia Zhang took the money and looked at Han Xiaodong coldly: "Humph, you want to get rid of me with such a small amount of money? Just wait, this matter is not over yet!"

After saying that, Jia Zhang returned to the house angrily. Han Xiaodong breathed a sigh of relief, but his heart was filled with helplessness and guilt.

Qin Huairu came over and comforted him, "Han Xiaodong, don't blame yourself too much. Sister Jia is just that kind of person. She will be fine after a few days when she calms down."

Han Xiaodong forced a smile: "Thank you for your understanding."

"Han Xiaodong, you've done a great job. Everyone knows that you're a good person, and no one will have any opinion of you because of this incident."

Han Xiaodong nodded, grateful for the support of his neighbors. He knew that although he had encountered some troubles, he would be able to get through it with everyone's help.

A few days later, Han Xiaodong decided to improve his robot vacuum cleaner Xiaosao to prevent similar incidents from happening again. He added some sensors and protective devices to make Xiaosao smarter and safer.

"Brother Han Xiaodong, the small sweeper is even more powerful now!" Banggeng said excitedly as he looked at the newly improved small sweeper.

Han Xiaodong smiled and patted Banggeng's head: "Yes, now Xiaosao won't knock things over anymore. You also have to help me keep an eye on it and don't let it cause any more trouble."

Banggeng nodded and said confidently, "Don't worry, Brother Han Xiaodong, I will definitely take good care of it!"

As time went by, Jia Zhang's anger gradually dissipated. Although she still mentioned the broken porcelain vase from time to time, she did not embarrass Han Xiaodong too much. Han Xiaodong continued to improve the small sweeper and began to provide some small services for the neighbors, such as helping to clean the yard and do housework.

One day, Han Xiaodong was busy in the yard when he suddenly heard someone calling him: "Han Xiaodong, come here quickly, there's something urgent!"

Han Xiaodong looked up and saw that it was Liu Guangfu. He quickly put down his work, ran over and asked, "Guangfu, what's wrong?"

Liu Guangfu looked nervous: "My gas stove is broken and it's leaking. Can you help me check it?"

Han Xiaodong immediately followed Liu Guangfu to his home and found a strong smell of gas in the kitchen. He quickly turned off the gas valve, opened the window for ventilation, and then checked the connecting pipe of the gas stove.

"The connecting pipe is aging and has cracks." Han Xiaodong checked it and said with a frown.

Liu Guangfu looked anxious: "What should we do? What if it explodes?"

Han Xiaodong comforted her, "Don't worry, I have a spare connecting pipe here, just replace it."

After that, Han Xiaodong went home to get a new gas pipe and installed it carefully. After checking it and confirming that there was no problem, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, Guangfu, it's okay now." Han Xiaodong said, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

Liu Guangfu said gratefully: "Han Xiaodong, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, I really don't know what to do."

Han Xiaodong waved his hand: "It's a small matter."

Back in the yard, Han Xiaodong felt satisfied watching Xiao Sao busy in the yard. Although there are many difficulties and challenges in life, as long as there is the support and understanding of neighbors, everything becomes less difficult.

In the evening, Han Xiaodong and his neighbors gathered in the yard to chat. Qin Huairu mentioned some interesting things that happened recently, and everyone listened with great interest.

"Han Xiaodong, your sweeping robot really helped a lot this time." Qin Huairu said with a smile.

“Actually, I didn’t expect it to be so popular. I just wanted to make everyone feel more relaxed.”

"Han Xiaodong, this is a great achievement. If you have any new inventions in the future, remember to show them to us first."

Han Xiaodong nodded: "I definitely will. Your support is my greatest motivation."

As the night deepened, the laughter in the courtyard gradually faded away, and everyone went back to their rooms to rest. Han Xiaodong stood in the yard, looking at the twinkling stars in the night sky, his heart filled with hope for the future.

He knew that although life was not easy, as long as he had these lovely neighbors around him, no matter how big the difficulties were, he could overcome them.
