Siheyuan: Grassroots Counterattack

At the gate of the military compound, after completing the registration, Li Tianyi came to Mr. Shen's house, "Grandpa Shen, is Xiaoxue home?"

Grandpa Shen was also on holiday at this time, and was sitting there drinking tea. "Tianyi, why are you here today?"

"I'm looking for Xiaoxue. My uncle will be home tomorrow and I want to introduce Xiaoxue to them. I'll pick her up tomorrow morning."

Grandpa Shen nodded and said that Li Tianyi had done a good job. They were getting married soon and it was time to introduce them to the family.

"Xiaoxue is not at home. She and her aunt went to the street to buy things."

"Grandpa Shen, when Xiaoxue comes back, please bring a letter for me."

"Aren't you waiting for Xiaoxue to come back?"

Li Tianyi wanted to shake his head, "No, Grandpa Shen, I have to go back to help prepare things for my family."

"Okay, go ahead." Grandpa Shen waved his hand and told Li Tianyi to go quickly.

Li Tianyi said goodbye and left, then began to walk around the city. He bought what he needed when he saw it, and when he got to a place where there was no one, he put the things into his space.

He wants to stock up more things during the Chinese New Year, otherwise there will be a disaster starting next year. Yes, I have to remind Xiaoxue's family. Although they may have seen something a long time ago, he still has to say it.

The next morning, Li Tianyi went to Grandpa Shen's house early. When he arrived, Xiaoxue was already ready. Before Li Tianyi even entered the house, she urged him to leave quickly.

Xiaoxue wants to go to Li's house early today to help Li's mother prepare food for entertaining the guests.

Li Tianyi couldn't persuade her, so he had to say goodbye to Grandpa Shen and the others, and took Xiaoxue out of the compound. This made Grandpa Shen angry, and he said several times, "Girls should not be kept at home when they grow up."

My aunt looked at the old man complaining with amusement, because she knew how much he loved his grandson-in-law.

When they arrived at Li Tian's house, Li's mother and father warmly invited Xiaoxue into the house. The people in the courtyard looked at the Li family in confusion, wondering what was wrong with them today that they started cooking all kinds of delicious food so early in the morning.

The children in the yard were drooling with envy and ran to the door of Li's house to watch. When Li's mother saw them, she didn't chase them away and sometimes even gave them something to eat.

Yan Bugui found Li's father and asked him the reason. Li's father told him about entertaining his eldest brother's family today. Yan Bugui then understood, but he became curious. He had never heard that the Li family had any eldest brother.

But it was difficult to ask, so Yan Bugui did not ask any more questions. Of course, the people in the yard who were about the same age as Li Tianyi were very uncomfortable.

Li Tianyi is about to get married, and his wife is so beautiful. They feel a mixture of envy, jealousy and hatred when they see him.

Especially Xu Damao. Yesterday afternoon, the matchmaker came to his house and told him that the Lou family did not agree to this marriage. Xu Fugui and his wife asked the matchmaker the reason, but the matchmaker was not quite sure. He only heard from the Lou family that someone told Lou Xiao'e what Xu Damao usually did, and that was why Lou Xiao'e did not agree.

Xu Damao recalled what happened in the past few days. He had kept his blind date with Lou Xiao'e a secret from the courtyard. Not many people knew about Lou Xiao'e's information. Apart from their family, only Li Tianyi knew about it.

But based on his understanding of Li Tianyi, he would never do such a thing. The Li family has always been low-key in their style of doing things. As long as you don't provoke the Li family, they will not provoke others.

But he couldn't think of anyone other than Li Tianyi. The more Xu Damao thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. "No, I have to go ask Li Tianyi and see how he reacts."

Xu Damao suddenly sat up from the bed and walked out of the room tapping his shoes.

In the outer room, Mr. and Mrs. Xu Fugui were packing up their New Year's things. They were relieved to see their son finally coming out of the house.

After learning that the Lou family’s marriage had fallen through yesterday afternoon, Xu Damao locked himself in his room. No matter how Xu’s mother called him, Xu Damao refused to come out.

"Da Mao, if you don't agree with the Lou family's matter, just forget it. After the New Year, I will find a better one for you." Xu's mother looked at her son worriedly, afraid that he would do something stupid.

"Yes, listen to your mother. Besides, the Lou family is only rich on the surface. Aren't they all just living a lowly life?"

"Dad, I know what you mean, but I just feel uncomfortable. Who is behind this?"

"Oh, people in this courtyard can't escape." Xu's mother sighed. She has lived here for decades and basically knows what every family is like.

"Mom, do you think it could be the Li family? In this courtyard, only Li Tianyi knows Lou Xiao'e's identity."

Xu Fugui thought about it, then shook his head, "It can't be the Li family. According to the Li family's style, they wouldn't do such a despicable thing. Besides, there is no conflict between their family and ours. There is no reason for them to ruin your marriage."

Xu Damao nodded, agreeing with his grandfather's words, "Then I'll go to the Li family and ask. Li Tianyi has been smart since he was young, maybe he knows something."

After saying that, Xu Damao went to the front yard and came to the door of Li's house. He did not go in. The voices in the house made him know that it was not convenient to go in at this time.

"Tianyi, are you home?" Xu Damao called Li Tianyi outside the door. Li Tianyi was helping Li's mother pick vegetables in the house at this time. When he heard Xu Damao's voice, he handed the vegetables in his hand to Hu Zi.

"I'm here, wait a minute, I'll be out soon." Li Tian answered Xu Damao while washing his hands.

"Da Mao, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Li Tian asked hurriedly when he saw Xu Damao standing outside the door trembling.

"Tianyi, you know that Lou Xiao'e and I's blind date didn't work out, right?" Xu Damao stared into Li Tianyi's eyes.

Li Tianyi was very surprised. He didn't understand what went wrong and why the original official allocation was demolished. "Da Mao, I didn't hear anyone from the hospital say that. Why?"

"Wasn't it nice to see you guys shopping the other day?"

Seeing that Li Tianyi's expression did not seem fake, Xu Damao felt relieved. He really didn't want to fall out with Li Tianyi.

"Hey, someone told the Lou family bad things about me. I came here to ask you to help me figure out who is behind this."

Li Tianyi was speechless. How could he get involved in such matters? But he couldn't directly refuse Xu Damao. Xu Damao was a real villain, and he didn't want to offend him for no reason.

"Da Mao, this kind of thing must have been done by someone who knows everything about it, but it's useless for you to just guess. You have evidence, so I suggest you go find Lou Xiao'e again and get some information from her."

Xu Damao's eyes lit up. Yes, he could look for Lou Xiao'e. Lou Xiao'e didn't look very smart, maybe he could really get something out of her.

"Thank you, Tianyi, I know what to do." Now, Xu Damao was even more certain that Li Tianyi did not do it.

At this time, Li Huaide and his family walked in to the gate of the courtyard. As soon as they entered the gate, they saw Li Tianyi and Xu Damao standing in the yard.
