Siheyuan: Starting from Building a Village

The next day, it was cloudy and foggy.

Today's weather is like the mood of many people, such as Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui.

Yan Bugui came to the central courtyard early in the morning with two panda eyes. What he didn't expect was that Yi Zhonghai got up earlier than him and was circling at the door of his house, glancing at the Jia family from time to time.

"Old Yi, tell me what is going on here."

Yan Bugui looked worried and his body became hunched over overnight.

"Old Yan, don't be anxious, don't be anxious. Dongxu must have been joking yesterday. You know, this kid can be quite naughty sometimes."

While Yi Zhonghai was comforting Yan Bugui, he was also comforting himself. He didn't sleep well that night, because that was two thousand yuan. Although Yi Zhonghai was very generous in his words and reasoning, he felt really uncomfortable when it really happened to him. After all, reason is only for others to hear.

The two had just said a few words when they heard a creaking sound and the door of the Jia family opened. Jia Dongxu was awakened by the urge to pee, otherwise he would not have gotten up so early.

Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui stepped forward quickly and said in unison: "Dongxu."

"Oh my god, what is this?"

Jia Dongxu was really scared when two big living people suddenly jumped out in front of him. After all, the visibility was a bit low today.

Yi Zhonghai said angrily: "Dongxu, how can you talk like that?"

After rubbing his eyes, Jia Dongxu saw clearly this time that they were two real people, Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui.

"Master, Uncle Yan, what are you two doing so early in the morning?"

"You are a hundred years old in total, and you are still playing such a scary game. Aren't you childish?"

Well, Jia Dongxu still has some convincing arguments.

"Dongxu, stop talking nonsense and just tell me whether you will give me the money today or not."

Yan Bugui was in no mood to joke around here.

"Master, what about you?"

"Dongxu, I just wanted to ask you something to reassure Old Yan."

I have to say that Yi Zhonghai is really hypocritical. It is obvious that he started earlier than Yan Bugui, but he said that he did it to reassure others.

"Master, Uncle Yan, if you say so, then I will argue."

"From ancient times to the present, have you ever seen anyone go to someone's doorstep so early in the morning to ask for a debt? Don't even think that they don't owe you money. Even if they do, people like you won't give it to you."

"Besides, when did I owe you money? How come I didn't know?"

Now that he has made the decision, he will continue to cheat. As long as there is no receipt, Jia Dongxu has made up his mind not to admit it.

After hearing what Jia Dongxu said, Yi Zhonghai's face turned red. Damn, he was so busy thinking about his two thousand yuan that he forgot the rule that he couldn't go to people's house to collect the debt so early in the morning.

Yan Bugui didn't care about that and immediately shouted, "Jia Dongxu, if you dare to take my money, I will go to the police station to sue you."

"What? Uncle Yan, I didn't hear you clearly, what did you say?"

Jia Dongxu leaned sideways with his ears pricked up.

"I said I'm going to sue you."

"Uncle Yan, what are you suing me for?"

"Borrow money and don't pay it back?"

"Did I lend you money?"

"You... took money from others and didn't pay it back."

"Uncle Yan, you don't have the final say. You said I took your money. You need evidence. If you don't have evidence, then it's a false accusation. You should know how I went to jail two years ago."

"Jia Dongxu, aren't you afraid of losing your conscience?"

"Uncle Yan, I, Jia Dongxu, am a decent person. No one can put the blame on me for something I didn't do."

Jia Dongxu said this with righteousness and confidence.

If someone who didn't know the situation heard it, they would think that Jia Dongxu had suffered a great injustice.

"Old Yi, please say a few words."

Yan Bugui is speechless now, so why not let Yi Zhonghai come up and say a few words first, maybe he can break the deadlock?

"I say, you guys are still not letting me sleep so early in the morning?"

Sha Zhu came out of the house with sleepy eyes. You know, the central courtyard is only that big, and Yan Bugui's voice just now was very loud.

"Silly Zhu, silly Zhu, come here, come here quickly."

When Yan Bugui saw Sha Zhu, he felt like he had seen a savior. He thought that perhaps with Sha Zhu's strong force, he could intimidate Jia Dongxu and make him pay back the money.

Sha Zhu asked angrily, "Yan Laoxi, what's going on so early in the morning? You can't even sleep well if you keep making such noises here."

Yan Bugui said anxiously: "Silly Zhu, you are still in the mood to sleep. All our money has gone down the drain."

"what?"

Sha Zhu's eyes were as big as cow eggs.

"Our money is wasted."

"Yan Laokou, Brother Jia is not that kind of person. I don't believe it."

"You don't believe it? Then ask him in person."

Yan Bugui was just staring blankly at the side. Sha Zhu didn't believe it, but there was nothing he could do.

"Brother Jia, is what Yan Laokou said true?"

"Silly, what is true or not?"

“That’s the money we invested.”

"You ask me about your money?"

Jia Dongxu was determined not to take responsibility for this. No matter how big or small the matter was, he would treat everyone equally and would not take responsibility for it.

"Fuck you, Brother Jia, don't force me to beat you up."

Shazhu is now completely awake.

"What? You're going to hit me? What gives you the right to hit me?"

"Why? Because Master Zhu's fist is so big, and because you are so evil and have no conscience."

"Come on, idiot, hit me here."

As Jia Dongxu spoke, he stretched his head in front of Sha Zhu.

"Damn, I have such a bad temper."

Sha Zhu raised his fist to hit someone, but Yi Zhonghai stepped forward and pulled him back.

"Uncle, please let me go, or I'll hurt you by mistake again."

"Silly Zhu, stop it right there. I'm not in a hurry, so why should you be? Besides, can beating someone up solve the problem? Don't send yourself to jail."

At this moment, Yi Zhonghai's heart began to lean towards Sha Zhu.

"Uncle, I..."

"Okay, listen to me, don't do it. It won't be good for anyone if it gets out of hand."

"Okay, Master, I'll listen to you today. Jia Dongxu, you're lucky to have a Master protecting you. You'd better give me an explanation, otherwise Master Zhu will give you an explanation."

Shazhu was panting with anger.

"Excuse me, everyone. I need to go to the toilet urgently."

Jia Dongxu ran away with his legs tucked together.

"Old Yi, Old Yan, what's going on?"

The noise had already woken up the neighbors in the courtyard. Liu Haizhong had arrived long ago and was listening at the corner. He understood clearly that he didn't know whether Jia Dongxu made money or not, but his principal was swallowed up by others.

Yi Zhonghai looked at Liu Haizhong unhappily and said, "Old Liu, you have nothing to do here."

Yan Bugui glanced at Liu Haizhong and said nothing.

"Old Yi, you are wrong. We neighbors should have the basic right to know about what is happening in the compound, right? If it is a good thing, we should learn from it; if it is a bad thing, we should be vigilant."

Liu Haizhong had a big belly and looked at Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui with a smile.

"Yes, yes, Master Liu is right. Master Yi, can you tell me what happened?"

"Yes, say it out loud and make everyone happy."

"Haha, Erlu, if you can't speak, then don't speak."

"Get lost. Whether I speak or not has nothing to do with you."

"Teacher Yan, please tell me about it."

"..."

There are too many people who want to watch the fun, especially those who want to watch Yi Zhonghai and the Jia family.

"Humph!"

Yi Zhonghai snorted coldly and went home with a gloomy face.

"Get out, all of you get out."

Shazhu howled twice and went back to the house.

Yan Bugui wanted to wait for Jia Dongxu a little longer, but seeing so many people waiting to watch the fun, he went back to the front yard unwillingly. It was still early and it was not time to go to work yet, so he decided to go home and lie in bed and be angry.

"Hehe, Guangtian that brat is right."

Liu Haizhong was so happy that he decided to eat an extra fried egg this morning.
