1959Siheyuan, a Turnaround

"I'm here to help you, Uncle. Haven't my parents helped you enough over the years? Now that we've come to this point, let me ask you this: isn't Dahu your biological son?"

Li Dajiang had wanted to ask him this question for a long time, and now he took this opportunity to ask him.

"You...you...how could you treat me like this? Li Quanfu, I am your brother!"

Li Quanzhen was speechless after being asked by Li Dajiang, and in the end he could only roar at Grandpa Li.

Grandpa Li said with great sorrow: "It won't be the same in the future. Go away, second brother! I don't want to see you again!"

He would rather not have such a cold-hearted and cold-blooded brother!

At worst, he can wait until he dies and then go to the underworld to apologize to his parents.

"I... I won't leave. Whoever wants to leave can leave!" Li Quanzhen stiffened his neck and turned his head to the side.

The village chief angrily shouted, "Hmph, you can leave if you want! Xinyan, we have seen the people and eaten, let's go back now!"

"Hey, Dad, let's go now!"

Li Xinyan responded and went out, while Village Chief Li said goodbye to Grandpa Li and Grandma Li.

"Cousin, Dajiang is in a hurry today so I won't stay here for long. I'll come to see you when I'm free!"

"Hey, the whole party, you are a laughing stock! If you want to leave, go ahead! And go slowly on your way home!"

Grandpa Li and Grandma Li saw the village chief off together.

Li Quanzhen, who had just stiffened his neck and said he would not leave, now ran faster than the village chief.

He passed the village chief and the others like the wind, ran to the donkey cart, and sat on it nimbly.

The village chief's face was filled with black lines, and he really wanted to retort to him, "Didn't you say you wouldn't leave?"

Now he runs faster than a rabbit!

"Humph! Shameless thing!"

Village Chief Li snorted coldly and followed closely.

The donkey cart slowly moved away, going farther and farther, until it disappeared at the end of the road...

After the village chief and everyone left, Grandpa Li went back to his house and stayed alone for a long time.

Grandpa Li did not leave the house until Li Dahu and his colleagues finished their job preparations and returned.

Grandma Li knew that Grandpa Li was sad, but she felt that she had done nothing wrong. With Li Quanzhen's temper, if she didn't stop thinking about him, who knows what kind of trouble he would cause in the future.

Section Chief Liu knew the relationship between Li Dahu and Li Dajiang, so when allocating houses, he assigned them both to the back house in Yard 95.

Two rooms per person, no more, no less, a complete one-bedroom and one-living room.

As a result, there were two more people from the Li family living in Courtyard No. 95.

After dinner that evening, the residents of the courtyard house, without being notified, gathered from their respective courtyards towards the front yard.

Some of them carried benches in their hands, while others just sat on the ground. They were already accustomed to such scenes.

When holding meetings in this compound, people's standing positions are very particular.

In fact, it is not difficult to guess. People who are close to each other will tend to gather together, or residents in the same courtyard will naturally gather together.

At this moment, the Yan family members were sitting on the west side. They looked solemn and dejected.

The third aunt frowned, while Yan Jiecheng looked uneasy, as if he was worried about the coming storm. His two younger brothers looked at Li Weiguo fiercely, with their fists clenched tightly, as if they were enduring something.

The youngest daughter, Yan Jie Di, listened to her third aunt educating her eldest brother, Yan Jie Cheng, at home for an entire afternoon. She seemed to understand what the third aunt said, but also seemed not to understand.

Finally, she made a summary herself. Her mother asked her eldest brother to apologize and play the victim. As long as he didn't have to pay compensation, she would agree to everything else.

She didn't know why her mother asked her eldest brother to do that, and she looked at the people in the yard with wide eyes.

The Li family sat on the east side, and the whole family sat together, the atmosphere was also tense. Grandpa Li and Grandma Li sat in the first seat, their faces were serious, and their eyes revealed determination.

Li Dajiang and his brothers sat in the back, while Li Dahe and Li Dahu were whispering to each other, introducing the people in the compound in a low voice.

"The family living opposite is the Yan family, headed by the third aunt, and sitting next to them are the three sons of the Yan family. The eldest is Yan Jiecheng, the second is Yan Jiefang, the third is Yan Jiekuang, and the fourth is a daughter named Yan Jiedi..."

"Sitting next to us is the He family. The man is called He Yuzhu, and he is the chef of the canteen of the steel mill. He cooks very delicious food. His wife is your sister-in-law's cousin, Chen Lanxiang. She got pregnant not long after they got married. Sitting next to her is He Yushui, who is about the same age as Weiguo..."

"That's Liu Haizhong's family in the backyard. The leader is the second aunt, and she has three sons: the eldest Liu Guangqi, the second Liu Guangtian, and the third Liu Guangfu."

"The one next to the Liu family is Xu Damao. He and He Yuzhu are sworn enemies. Whenever they meet, they always fight, and sometimes they even get physical!"

"Um……"

Li Dahe introduced the two people and they nodded in agreement.

Today's opportunity is rare, I can meet everyone in the hospital.

If Li Dahe knew some details, he would say a few more words. If he was not very familiar with the person, he would just pass it by or simply say which courtyard the person lived in.

The neighbors who arrived earlier have already started talking about it.

Those who knew the truth had indignant expressions on their faces and whispered what had happened to those who were still unaware.

Some had puzzled looks on their faces, listening carefully and occasionally exclaiming in surprise.

Finally, they all looked towards the Yan family, and all showed the same surprised expression.

Grandma Yang, with gray hair, waved her fan and said slowly, "What's going on between the Yan family and the Li family? I heard that the fight was quite fierce, and they even fought?"

A middle-aged woman nearby said, "I heard about it, too. It seems to be about a steamed bun. I don't know the details yet."

Another young man said excitedly: "Hey, now it's going to be exciting. Yan Jiecheng is trying to grab Li Weihong's buns. Let's see how the two uncles will solve the problem in the end..."

"See? It's all because of you. Today, our Yan family is so embarrassed..."

When Auntie Yang Ruihua heard the discussions in the crowd, her face became so gloomy that ink could drip out of it.

People's discussions rose and fell, like the chirping of cicadas in summer.

Some voices were high-pitched and full of curiosity; some were low-pitched and filled with worry.

Sha Zhu was still resolute and cheerfully moved a table and placed it steadily in the middle of the yard. He also considerately took out two stools.

Now that the eldest uncle Yi Zhonghai was dismissed by Director Wang, his position has been vacant, and only the second uncle Liu Haizhong and the third uncle Yan Bugui are left in the yard.

The neighbors gathered together, but Yan Bugui was nowhere to be seen.

It turned out that after dinner, Yan Bugui went to Liu Haizhong's house in the backyard.

Since Yi Zhonghai no longer took charge of the affairs of the Siheyuan, only Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui were left in charge.

Yan Bugui knew very well that the matter was thorny and wanted Liu Haizhong to help him stabilize the situation, at least to prevent Yan Jiecheng from being too embarrassed.

Yan Bugui said to Liu Haizhong with a big smile on his face: "Old Liu, you see, the interpretation of this matter this morning was indeed wrong, and I severely criticized him. But this morning, that kid Li Weiguo made a big deal out of it and refused to let it go. He said that if this matter was not punished, he was afraid that the children in the courtyard would follow suit in the future."
