Siheyuan: Struggle in the Red Era

Yi Zhonghai's attempt to stop them was futile, so Liu Haizhong still called Fang Daming and Lao Jin, and together with Xu Fugui, they sent Xu Damao to the hospital. Helplessly, he had to drag the reluctant He Yuzhu along with him.

After all, it was He Yuzhu who caused the trouble, and Xu Damao was obviously trying to trick He Yuzhu. If he didn't go with him and keep a closer eye on the Xu father and son, who knew what tricks they could come up with.

After watching them leave, Yan Bugui quietly retreated to his room. When the third aunt came home and saw him at home, she was surprised: "Why didn't you go to the Central Court? This time Xu Damao is probably going to blackmail Sha Zhu to death."

Yan Bugui coughed and said, "Just blackmail him, Sha Zhu deserves it." He didn't say that it was he who told Xu Damao about Sha Zhu getting married.

"Hey, where did the tomatoes come from? They are so fresh and big? And there are dried mushrooms, that's not right," the third aunt looked at the things on the table and looked at Yan Bugui suspiciously: "Xu Damao gave them to you? Xu Damao and Sha Zhu just now?"

Yan Bugui quickly interrupted her: "Stop talking, I just said a few words."

The third aunt nodded in understanding, and then said happily: "Then let's make tomato soup tonight. I didn't expect that we can still eat tomatoes in the middle of winter."

Yan Bugui nodded: "Okay, let's burn it."

In the middle courtyard, after everyone left, He Sanmei frowned, turned around and went back to her room, while He Yushui pursed her lips.

She asked Lin Baoyan for comfort: "Tell me, my brother won't make any more trouble in the hospital, right?"

Lin Baoyan sighed and comforted He Yushui: "If your brother went alone, then you are right to worry, but the uncle also went with him, he should not be so angry as to see your brother."

"But you'd better be prepared. Xu Damao has lost all his dignity and is just trying to blackmail us. But it was your brother who started it first. Besides, brain injuries are hard to diagnose. As long as Xu Damao keeps crying out in pain, no doctor will dare to guarantee that there is no problem."

He Yushui cursed angrily: "Why is my brother so mad? Why did he beat Xu Damao for no reason? And Xu Damao, are all his family members so shameless? They are blackmailing people openly."

Lin Baoyan was in the corridor of the west wing at that time and saw the whole process. It can be said that Xu Damao had a little problem and shouldn't have chatted up He Sanmei. But what was wrong with Sha Zhu? He saw a man talking to his wife and just went up and beat him up without saying a word?

Is this a side effect of marrying a beautiful wife? Will there be more of this kind of thing in the future?

"Or, you can discuss with your sister-in-law and go to the police station to report a crime. The police are here, and if the Xu family dares to talk nonsense, your family can sue them for extortion." Lin Baoyan advised He Yushui.

He Yushui hesitated: "But, it was indeed my brother who beat people first. If I report it to the police, won't my brother be prosecuted?"

Although they have experienced the baptism of two time travelers, Xiao Li and Wu Zhi, if something really happens in the yard, they still choose to handle it in the yard. Only when it is really handled unfairly will people consider calling the police, that is, calling the police is regarded as the last resort.

Since it was obviously his family's fault first, He Yushui certainly didn't consider calling the police.

Zhou Kangzhan deliberately restrained himself and stood aside to listen to the conversation between the two girls.

He just moved in today. He has no armband, collar badge or breast badge on his uniform, and he doesn't wear a hat. Except for a few people, no one knows that he is a public security officer.

He Yushui didn't say he was going to call the police just now. He just wanted to observe how the people in this compound handled things, so he didn't reveal his identity as a police officer to handle the matter.

Now after listening to He Yushui's words, he said, "Don't worry, your brother and Xu Damao just had a fight. Just criticize him a few times and pay for the medical expenses. It won't be recorded in the file."

Lin Baoyan nodded repeatedly.

These days, fighting is nothing. It is because people do not understand the law and are afraid to go to law enforcement agencies that they resolve everything privately. This gives some people the opportunity to blackmail others.

He Yushui said in surprise: "Really, Brother Zhou, my brother will really be fine?"

Seeing Zhou Kangzhan nod in affirmation, he hurriedly said, "Then I will report it to the police. Xu Damao wants to blackmail my brother."

Zhou Kangzhan laughed: "You have to go to the police station to report the case. Your brother and Xu Damao just had a fight. They can't file a case before the extortion has happened. Also, I haven't reported for work yet. I'm alone and can't accept your report."

Not to mention how He Yushui happily ran home to find He Sanmei, the two aunts and sisters-in-law whispered for a while, and then hurried to the police station together. Lin Baoyan looked up at Zhou Kangzhan and said, "Thank you, Brother Zhou. Otherwise, Yushui would not dare to call the police just by listening to me."

Zhou Kangzhan smiled and said, "What's there to thank for? It's for serving the people."

Zhou Kangzhan really wanted to continue talking to Lin Baoyan, but the yard was really not a good place to talk. The windows of the east and west wing rooms faced the yard, and once the curtains were lifted, everything could be seen clearly.

For the sake of each other, he had to give up the idea of ​​continuing the conversation: "I still have to clean up, you should go home first, I can be alone."

Lin Baoyan nodded, knowing what he meant by the person, and said goodbye and returned to the backyard.

The deaf old lady lifted the curtain and called to her, "Girl, what's going on in the middle courtyard?"

Although Lin Baoyan was annoyed with her, she still said politely: "Brother Zhuzi and Brother Damao had a conflict and fought. Brother Damao was injured. Uncle Yi and Uncle Er went with Uncle Xu and Brother Zhuzi to take Brother Damao to the hospital for a checkup."

The deaf old lady looked at Lin Baoyan suspiciously and said, "Don't they always fight? They always just let it go after the fight. Why is Damao so seriously injured today that he has to be sent to the hospital?"

Lin Baoyan blinked innocently: "Brother Damao just complained of a headache and wanted to go to the hospital, so Uncle Xu asked the second uncle to send Brother Damao to the hospital, and Uncle Yi and Brother Zhuzi followed."

The deaf old lady understood and cursed, "That family is full of bad guys, they only know how to blackmail people." Then she let down the door curtain and went into the house.

Lin Baoyan rolled her eyes and went back to the house.

When I entered the house and saw two cans of food, I thought of the kitchen in Zhou Kangzhan's house which didn't even have any oil, salt, sauce or vinegar, and only had an empty rice jar. I couldn't bear it. This was a local soldier who had just retired from the battlefield, and was about to join the public security front. In terms of his previous life, he was my great-grandfather. How could I bear to see him go hungry late at night?

So he opened the can of meat, peeled a few potatoes, and made a dish of braised potatoes with meat. Then he took out a few steamed buns made of two-kneaded flour from the space and heated them up, and smashed a cucumber. When the buns were steamed and the meat was cooked, he put the meat and vegetables in a can, put the steamed buns and cucumber in a lunch box, and walked towards the central courtyard.

As soon as I walked onto the veranda, I saw Zhou Kangzhan closing the store.

"Brother Zhou, it's so late, are you going out?"

When Zhou Kangzhan saw the lunch box and canned food in Lin Baoyan's hands, his eyes lit up: "There is no food at home, and I was planning to go out to find a place to have dinner." He was still worrying about how to get more contact with her, and now the opportunity has come.

Lin Baoyan said hurriedly, "It's late at night, where can we eat outside? I just want to borrow your flowers to offer to Buddha. I'll add some potatoes to the can you gave me and cook it again. Let's eat it while it's hot."

Zhou Kangzhan pushed open the door with his backhand: "Okay, I'll take advantage of Baoyan today."
