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

"Guangtian, when will you pay us back the money you owe us?" a burly man asked viciously.

Liu Guangtian was sweating profusely and stammered, "I...I will pay it back. Give me some time."

Han Xiaodong's heart tightened when he saw this scene. He quickly stepped forward and stood in front of Liu Guangtian: "Everyone, can't we talk about it calmly? We are all neighbors, don't make things so ugly."

The burly man looked at Han Xiaodong coldly: "Who are you? Don't mind your own business."

Han Xiaodong said calmly: "I am Liu Guangtian's neighbor and also his friend. I can help him coordinate how much money he owes you."

The man sneered: "Humph, he owes us a lot of money, can you help him pay it back?"

Han Xiaodong took a deep breath and said, "We can sit down and discuss the exact amount. But before that, please don't force him in this way again."

Seeing Han Xiaodong's firm attitude, several creditors looked at each other and finally nodded: "Okay, we'll give him a week. If he can't pay it back by then, don't blame us for being rude."

After the creditors left, Liu Guangtian sat on the ground helplessly, his face full of guilt and helplessness. Han Xiaodong helped him up and asked with concern: "Guangtian, how did it become like this?"

Liu Guangtian lowered his head, his voice trembling: "Han Xiaodong, I... I got addicted to gambling. At first I just gambled a little, but later I gambled more and more, and owed a lot of debts."

Han Xiaodong frowned and said seriously: "Guangtian, gambling is not a solution to the problem, it will only make things worse. You must quit gambling, otherwise you will only drag yourself and your family into a deeper quagmire."

Liu Guangtian's eyes flashed with regret: "Han Xiaodong, I know I was wrong, but what should I do now?"

He said earnestly: "Guangtian, the first step is to stop gambling and stay away from those people and places completely. The second step is to find a way to pay off your debts. I will try my best to help you, but you must also redeem yourself."

Liu Guangtian nodded, his eyes full of determination: "Han Xiaodong, thank you, I will definitely change."

He knew that helping Liu Guangtian was just the beginning. The real challenge was how to get him to completely get rid of his gambling habit.

In the following days, Han Xiaodong took time out to visit Liu Guangtian every day to help him sort out his accounts and make a debt repayment plan. At the same time, Han Xiaodong also organized a neighborhood meeting in the courtyard to explain Liu Guangtian's situation to everyone, hoping that everyone could help him through the difficult times together.

At the meeting, Qin Huairu was the first to express her support: "Han Xiaodong is right, we are all neighbors, Guangtian is in trouble, we should help him."

Yan Bugui also nodded in agreement: "Yes, Guangtian has helped us a lot in the past, and we can't just stand by and watch this time."

Liu Haizhong looked at everyone, thought for a moment, and said, "Han Xiaodong, do you have any specific plans?"

Han Xiaodong nodded: "I have helped Guangtian develop a debt repayment plan, but I need everyone's support and supervision. We can organize some voluntary labor to help him increase his income, and we must also supervise him to ensure that he does not gamble again."

Everyone agreed, and Han Xiaodong felt relieved. He knew that Liu Guangtian would be able to get out of the predicament with everyone's support.

A few days later, Han Xiaodong and Liu Guangtian went to the creditors to negotiate the details of the debt repayment. Under Han Xiaodong's mediation, the creditors agreed to the installment repayment plan and promised not to harass Liu Guangtian anymore.

After returning to the courtyard, Liu Guangtian said to Han Xiaodong with gratitude: "Han Xiaodong, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, I don't know what to do."

Han Xiaodong smiled and patted his shoulder: "Guangtian, we are all neighbors, and we should help each other. As long as you are really determined to change, we will support you."

Liu Guangtian nodded solemnly: "Han Xiaodong, I will definitely change and never gamble again."

"Sister Huairu, it's just a small matter. You're welcome." Han Xiaodong said with a smile.

After finishing their work, Han Xiaodong and Qin Huairu sat in the yard together, drinking tea and chatting. Qin Huairu looked into the distance and said, "Life is too stressful."

If it weren’t for you, our family might still be struggling.” Liu Guangtian said with emotion.

Life in Sijiucheng is always busy and fulfilling. Han Xiaodong has become closer to his neighbors, especially Liu Guangfu, a young man who is always diligent and hardworking. Seeing Liu Guangfu sitting in the yard, eating dinner and reading a book, Han Xiaodong walked over with a smile and said hello: "Guangfu, how are you today? Is your work going well?"

Liu Guangfu raised his head with a smile on his face: "Han Xiaodong, I'm fine today, but there are a few questions I haven't figured out yet, and I'm still thinking about them."

Han Xiaodong asked curiously: "What's the problem? Tell me and see if I can help."

Liu Guangfu put down the book and said seriously: "There was a small problem in the workshop today. I don't know how to deal with it. The master said it was a problem with the machine, but I can't find the reason."

Han Xiaodong nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "Guangfu, sometimes the problem of the machine is not just a surface phenomenon, it may be the wear of internal parts or other details. You have to learn to look at the problem as a whole, not just the details."

Liu Guangfu nodded thoughtfully: "Han Xiaodong, you are right. I will check it carefully tomorrow to see if I have overlooked anything."

Encouragingly, "Don't be impatient, take your time, experience is accumulated. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me."

He knew that helping Liu Guangfu was not only because he was a neighbor, but also because of the sincere friendship between them.

A few days later, Han Xiaodong and Liu Guangfu were repairing an old chair in the yard, chatting while working. Liu Guangfu looked at Han Xiaodong with admiration in his eyes: "Han Xiaodong, you have learned a lot in the factory and have rich experience."

Han Xiaodong smiled and said, "Guangfu, experience is accumulated slowly. As long as you are willing to learn and use your brain, you can definitely do it."

, a look of determination appeared on his face: "Han Xiaodong, I will work hard. Can you tell me about some of the problems you encountered in the factory and how to solve them?"

Han Xiaodong thought for a moment and began to talk about some problems and experiences he encountered at work: "Once, our machine suddenly stopped. Everyone was very anxious and didn't know what to do. I checked it carefully and found that it was a circuit problem. Later, I found the fault point and repaired it, and the machine ran normally again."

Liu Guangfu listened with great interest and nodded from time to time: "Han Xiaodong, you are really amazing. You can solve such a complicated problem."

"Guangfu, this is just the result of accumulated experience. You can do it too, as long as you are willing to put your heart into it," Han Xiaodong encouraged.

Han Xiaodong and Liu Guangfu packed up their tools and sat on a bench to rest. Liu Guangfu looked into the distance with a hint of worry in his eyes: "Han Xiaodong, sometimes I feel that I am stupid and cannot learn many things."

Han Xiaodong looked at him and said softly, "Guangfu, everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. You have to believe in yourself. As long as you work hard, there is nothing you can't learn."

Han Xiaodong, thank you, I will try my best. "

I checked it myself and found that it was a problem of worn parts, so I successfully repaired it. The master even praised me. "

Han Xiaodong smiled with satisfaction after hearing this: "Guangfu, well done! It seems your efforts have not been in vain."

Life in Sijiu City is still busy, and the people in the courtyards are also busy with their own lives. On this day, Han Xiaodong just came back from get off work at the textile factory and heard a low-pitched argument in the yard. Han Xiaodong's heart tightened, and he walked over quickly, and saw Yan Jiecheng standing in the middle of the yard with a nervous face, and several neighbors next to him were also whispering. Yan Jiecheng looked up and saw Han Xiaodong, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes: "Han Xiaodong, the factory found out that I was secretly working part-time outside, and now they want to fire me."

Han Xiaodong frowned and asked, "How could this happen? How did the part-time job get discovered?"

Yan Jiecheng sighed and whispered, "Someone reported me. The factory leaders thought I violated factory regulations."

Han Xiaodong's heart sank, knowing that things were not looking good. He patted Yan Jiecheng on the shoulder and consoled him, "Jiecheng, don't worry, I'll help you think of a solution. Go home and rest first, don't worry too much."

Yan Jiecheng nodded, his eyes full of gratitude: "Thank you, Han Xiaodong. I really don't know what to do."

He knew that helping Yan Jiecheng overcome this crisis was not only for him, but also for the harmony of the entire courtyard.

, Han Xiaodong decided to go to the factory leaders to try to get some opportunities for Yan Jiecheng. He went to the factory director's office and knocked on the door.

"Come in." The factory director's voice came from inside.

Seeing the factory director sitting at the table reviewing documents, he walked up to him and said respectfully, "Director, I want to talk to you about Yan Jiecheng."

The factory manager looked up at Han Xiaodong and nodded: "Okay, sit down and talk."

Han Xiaodong sat down, took a deep breath, and said, "Director, Yan Jiecheng has always performed well in the factory. He was indeed wrong this time, but he was forced to do a part-time job because of his family's financial needs. I hope you can give him a chance to reform himself."

The factory manager pondered for a moment and asked, "Han Xiaodong, you are Yan Jiecheng's friend, right? Do you know why he wants to do a part-time job?"

Han Xiaodong nodded, his eyes full of sincerity: "Director, Xie Cheng's family is not doing well, and he needs more income to support his family. He has always worked very hard and has never affected the factory's tasks. This time he was just confused for a moment, I hope you can forgive him."

The factory manager sighed and said, "Han Xiaodong, I understand what you mean, but factory rules are factory rules. If everyone does this, how can the discipline in the factory be maintained?"

Han Xiaodong knew that what the factory director said made sense, but he was still unwilling to give up: "Director, I understand your difficulties, but can you consider giving Jie Cheng a warning instead of firing him directly? He really needs this job."
