Siheyuan: Rebirth of Liu Ergou

As the night deepened, the moonlight was like a wash, shrouding the courtyard in a soft silver glow. Liu Yi lowered his head, revealing a trace of helplessness and regret between his brows. He stood there quietly, like a solidified statue.

At this time, Liu Ying came over with a smile, her bright eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts. She gently touched Liu Yi's head and said softly: "Don't be like this, Xiaoyi, everything will pass. Relax, we will face it together."

Liu Yi looked up at his wife, with a hint of gratitude in his eyes. He knew that no matter what happened, his family would always be his strongest support.

He Yuzhu watched this scene silently, his eyes were complicated and deep. He glanced at his sister He Yushui, then nodded slowly, as if making some kind of decision.

Seeing this, the third uncle Yan Bugui showed a barely perceptible smile on his weathered face. He cleared his throat and said, "Since it has already happened, we have to face the reality. Liu Yi, are you willing to take responsibility for our daughter?"

Liu Yi nodded without hesitation after hearing this. He knew that he had to take on this responsibility, no matter what the future held.

"Okay!" The third uncle Yan Bugui nodded with satisfaction, "Then you have to give our daughter a betrothal gift of 300 yuan, as well as 100 kilograms of bacon and 200 kilograms of Fuqiangfu. Only then can we hand our daughter over to you."

Liu Ying listened to the proposal and agreed without hesitation. She knew that although the conditions were harsh, they were all for the sake of Yan Jiedi's future.

So she took He Yushui and Yan Jiedi back to the courtyard. Liu Yi, with the betrothal gifts, walked firmly towards the home of the third uncle Yan Bugui and He Yuzhu.

When Liu Yi handed the betrothal gift to his third uncle Yan Bugui, he felt an unprecedented sense of responsibility. He knew that from this moment on, he would take on the responsibility of a family, and he would go on firmly regardless of the wind and rain or the ups and downs.

He Yuzhu and the third uncle Yan Bugui looked at the scene in front of them with satisfied smiles in their eyes. They knew that although this accident brought some twists and turns, it eventually led to a beautiful marriage.

The atmosphere in the courtyard became warm and joyful, and everyone was immersed in this joy. They knew that no matter what the future held, they would face it together and bear it together.

The night is still charming, but the story in the courtyard is even more touching. An accident, a marriage, and an intersection of fate have filled this courtyard with endless warmth and hope.

In the courtyard, the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the mottled walls, giving this place full of traces of time a golden edge. The aunts and uncles sat together, talking about the recent major event - the unexpected entanglement between Liu Yi, Yan Jiedi and He Yushui.

"Oh, what you said is really laughable." Wang's sister-in-law waved her fan with a gossipy expression on her face.

"That's right. Liu Yi is usually so steady, so why is he so calm this time..." Aunt Li took over the conversation, her eyes full of curiosity.

As the discussion continued, an old man named Yi Zhonghai hurried into the compound. His brows were furrowed, and his eyes revealed an unquestionable firmness.

"Stop talking!" Yi Zhonghai shouted loudly. His voice cut through the noisy discussions and made everyone quiet down.

He looked around and then spoke slowly: "I know you are all talking about Liu Yi, but what I want to say is that Liu Yi has done so much for the compound. We can't completely deny him just because of his one mistake."

Yi Zhonghai's words made the people in the compound fall into deep thought. They recalled the various contributions Liu Yi had made to the compound, and a trace of guilt surged in their hearts.

"Moreover, this matter cannot be blamed entirely on Liu Yi." Yi Zhonghai continued, "If anyone dares to discuss or tell others, the compound will not tolerate these black sheep!"

His voice was so powerful that everyone in the compound could feel his determination. The young and old men expressed their opinions one after another, saying that they would not discuss the matter any further.

However, the old ladies were still talking among themselves, their eyes showing both curiosity and uneasiness. However, when they recalled Liu Yi's care and help to them on a daily basis, the uneasiness in their hearts was gradually replaced by warmth.

"Forget it, forget it, let's not talk about it anymore." Aunt Niu finally couldn't help but speak, with a hint of determination on her kind face, "Liu Yi is usually so good to us, we can't say bad things about him behind his back."

After hearing this, the other old ladies nodded in agreement with Aunt Niu's statement. They knew that Liu Yi had always been a kind-hearted and helpful person, and this incident might just be a misunderstanding or an accident. So, they decided not to gossip about him anymore and let the compound return to its former tranquility and harmony.

As night fell, the discussions in the compound gradually faded. People returned home one after another, but they were still thinking about Yi Zhonghai's words and Liu Yi's past deeds. They understood that the compound was like a big family, and only when everyone worked together and cared for each other would the family be more warm and harmonious. And Liu Yi, as a member of the compound, also deserved more understanding and support from them.

In this quiet night, people in the compound fell into deep thought. They began to reflect on their words and deeds, and realized that they should be more tolerant and understanding, and less suspicious and accusatory in their daily lives. After all, only in this way can the compound become a truly warm place.
