Siheyuan: Struggle in the Red Era

It was four days after He Yushui left that He Yuzhu came to the Lin family to look for someone.

"Yushui, you stupid girl, your sister-in-law said a few words to you, are you so angry that you still don't go home? Come back with me quickly and apologize to your sister-in-law."

He Yuzhu came over shouting from a distance.

Lin Baoyan sat at the door and looked at He Yuzhu in surprise: "Brother Zhuzi, sister-in-law told you that the rain is in my house?"

He Yuzhu said, "If it's not at your house, then where is it? This Yushui, her sister-in-law is pregnant and wants to eat pickles, but she can't even run errands when she's asked. She hasn't gone home to sleep for a few days. She's really rebellious."

The second aunt who was also sitting at the door enjoying the cool air next door laughed out loud when she heard this: "Oh, your He Sanmei is really precious. She is pregnant and wants to eat anything she wants. No matter what time it is, she will ask her sister-in-law to buy it for her. She is not afraid that her sister-in-law will faint from the heat on the way."

Everyone in the compound knows that He Sanmei is a troublemaker and she keeps making trouble for her sister-in-law.

How could you ask your sister-in-law to buy pickles in the hot sun at noon? People didn't order people around like that in the old society.

He Yuzhu cursed: "Yushui, that damn girl, how could she talk nonsense everywhere? Her sister-in-law asked her to go buy it, but she insisted on going in the hot sun. She is deliberately looking for trouble."

Lin Baoyan rolled her eyes. This guy must be so blind that he can even say black is white.

"Yu Shui is not at your house, so did she tell you where she went?" He Yuzhu ignored the second aunt and asked Lin Baoyan.

"It's been almost a week and you haven't seen your sister. Why didn't you come and ask earlier?" Lin Baoyan asked back.

He Yuzhu said impatiently: "Isn't the rain here every day? Why are you asking?"

Now even the second aunt was speechless.

No wonder He Yushui couldn't live at home anymore.

"What about her meals? Don't tell me you didn't notice that Yu Shui wasn't home when we were eating." Second Auntie looked down on her. These days, eating is a big problem. Every family has a ration of food, so it's impossible to entertain people for several days.

He Yuzhu said confidently: "She has money and tickets, so she can eat anywhere."

Lin Baoyan laughed out of anger. Who was he talking about?

She was too lazy to argue with He Yuzhu: "Yushui went to Baocheng to find Uncle He. Your wife saw her packing her things and leaving with her bag on her back."

When He Yushui left that day, he didn't even try to avoid people. Not only did He Sanmei see him, but also the first aunt and the third aunt. The first aunt even asked He Yushui why he was packing his bag and where he was going. He Yushui deliberately said loudly that he was going to look for his father.

This is equivalent to the entire compound knowing that He Yushui went to find his father, so Lin Baoyan did not specifically inform He Yuzhu.

But judging from what happened today, no one in the entire compound told He Yuzhu about this, not even Yi Zhonghai and his wife.

But it’s normal. Everyone thought He Sanmei would say it, but in the end she didn’t.

He Yuzhu was so angry that he jumped up and down: "She is so rebellious. She actually dared to go find that bastard!"

Lin Baoyan was dumbfounded. Shouldn’t she ask why his wife didn’t tell him that He Yushui was gone?

He Yuzhu left angrily.

The second aunt said with a sigh: "This Shazhu is really a fool. His wife is making a fool of him. He will suffer in the future."

Lin Baoyan nodded in agreement. He was indeed a fool. He had been fooled in TV dramas all his life. He thought that he would not repeat the same mistake if he got married early this time. But now it seems that his future is not very good. It can only be said that character determines destiny.

At this moment, there were several shouting and the sound of things breaking coming from the main room in the middle courtyard, and then there was nothing.

After hearing this, Second Aunt and Lin Baoyan both sighed with regret. This Sha Zhu was really useless. After just a few moves, he was fooled by He Sanmei again.

At the end of August, He Yushui returned.

"I want to separate from my brother." She opened her mouth with a small bomb.

Lin Baoyan was silent for a moment, then said, "Then you'd better inform the three uncles first, and then ask the three uncles to discuss this with your brother. It's best to keep this matter quiet, otherwise it won't sound good if it gets out."

He Yushui understood.

This month, she has grown a lot and learned a lot.

Afterwards, she returned the money to Lin Baoyan: "My dad asked me to thank you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to go to Baocheng."

"Okay, why are we talking about this? You've helped me a lot." Lin Baoyan took the money and asked, "Have you gone home?"

"I put my things in my room and came here. I haven't been to the main room yet."

He Yushui couldn't sit still any longer: "I'll go clean up first. No one has lived in this room for a month. It's so dirty."

"Let's go together." Lin Baoyan stood up and followed.

He Yushui also had dinner at the Lin family. After dinner, He Yushui went out alone, starting from the second uncle's house, and then went to the three uncles' houses, asking the three uncles to make the decision for her to separate the family property from He Yuzhu.

"You really want to separate from your brother? I've never heard of any girl wanting to live alone with her brother and sister-in-law."

"No, that won't work. How can you, as a younger sister, want to separate from your brother? There is no such rule anywhere."

"Yushui, it's not easy for your brother to raise you these years. Why are you just...ah."

He Yushui was prepared. He took out a piece of paper and said, "My father agrees that my brother and I can live alone. This is the certificate written by my father."

The three uncles took the certificate and looked at it in turn. Well, the boss had agreed, so they didn't need to worry about it anymore.

The four of them went to the main room together.

He Sanmei was lying on a newly bought recliner eating watermelon. He Yuzhu was busy cleaning the house. When he saw the three uncles coming together, he was surprised: "Oh, you three uncles are here in such a grand manner. What instructions do you have?"

Seeing He Yushui following behind, he cursed: "You damn girl, didn't you go to find that bastard? Why did you come back?"

"Ahem." Yi Zhonghai cleared his throat. Seeing that He Sanmei was lying motionless, he had no choice but to say, "Yushui girl came to us three today and asked us for a favor."

He Yuzhu threw the rag and glared at He Yushui: "What are you doing? You've been away for more than a month, and when you come back you don't even say a word. You turn around and call three uncles to help you. What? Are you going to teach your brother a lesson?"

He Yushui lowered his head and said nothing.

"Alright, alright, let's get down to business." The second uncle called out, "Yushui, didn't you ask the second uncle to help you divide the family property? Take out your proof and divide the family property quickly."

"Separate the family!"

"Separate?"

He Yuzhu and He Sanmei screamed at the same time.

"You are just a kid, why do you want to divide the family? I don't agree." He Sanmei sat up straight and refused immediately. She also taught He Yushui a lesson: "Sister, your elder brother has worked hard to raise you. You were instigated to go out for a while, and now you come back to ask for a division of the family. Are you worthy of your brother's hard work over the years?"

"He Yushui, I gave you face, right? You little girl, how dare you separate from me!" He Yuzhu was furious: "You have studied so hard all these years, and the school taught you to come back and separate from me?"

The third uncle was dissatisfied: "Watch your words. When did the school teach people to split up? The matter of Yu Shui was her own idea."

The second uncle also said: "That's right, your father also agreed to let you two brothers and sisters separate."

He Yuzhu became even angrier: "That bastard left us and ran away. How dare he agree to divide the family? Anyway, I don't agree. I won't divide this family."
