Siheyuan: Rebirth of Liu Ergou

Chapter 223 Sweeping the Street

In a corner of the capital, there is an ancient and peaceful courtyard, where all kinds of people live. They are rich or poor, happy or sad, and they weave their own life chapters together. In this courtyard, there are three young people, Liu Yi, Jia Dongxu and Xu Damao. The three have very different personalities, but because of an impulsive behavior, they are tightly tied together by fate.

Liu Yi is the best among the three. He comes from a wealthy family and has never had to worry about food and clothing since he was a child. He is handsome, open-minded, likes to make friends, and is a well-known figure in the compound. However, he is unruly and rebellious in his bones, and often does some extraordinary things, which makes people around him both envious and headache.

Jia Dongxu is completely different from Liu Yi. He was born in a poor family and has lived a hard life since childhood. He is thin and has a subtle melancholy in his eyes. Although life has given him many hardships, he still maintains an optimistic attitude and strives to change his destiny with his hard-working hands. However, fate always seems to like to play tricks on him. Repeated setbacks make him resentful and gradually become radical.

Xu Damao is the "brain trust" among the three. He is quick-witted, good at observing people's words and expressions, and can always come up with some crooked ideas. He comes from an ordinary family, but with his cleverness, he is able to get by in the compound. However, deep in his heart, he is full of inferiority and anxiety, and always wants to use some extreme behaviors to prove his existence.

It was a sunny afternoon. Liu Yi, Jia Dongxu and Xu Damao were strolling in the yard when they accidentally saw a luxury car parked on the side of the road. The car was shining brightly in the sun and looked particularly dazzling. On a whim, the three decided to teach this "arrogant" car a lesson. So they found stones and bricks and smashed the car body.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" After several loud noises, the car body was suddenly unrecognizable and glass fragments were scattered all over the ground. The three people looked at the "masterpiece" in front of them, feeling proud and satisfied. However, they did not realize that this behavior had violated the law and laid the groundwork for their future lives.

The next day, the owner found his car was destroyed and immediately called the police. After investigation, the police quickly identified Liu Yi, Jia Dongxu and Xu Damao. When questioned by the police, the three tried to quibble at first, but eventually had to admit their crimes.

According to relevant laws, the three were required to compensate the car owner for the loss and were assigned to sweep the streets for a month as punishment. The news spread quickly in the compound and caused an uproar. People talked about the behavior of the three and expressed dissatisfaction and condemnation of their actions.

For Liu Yi, compensation for the loss was not a big problem, as he had plenty of money. However, sweeping the streets made him feel very aggrieved. He had never suffered such humiliation since he was a child. Whenever he picked up a broom and stood on the street, he would be pointed at and whispered by people around him. This made him feel extremely embarrassed and angry.

Jia Dongxu's situation was even worse. He was already poor, and the compensation for the loss was undoubtedly a huge sum of money for him. In order to collect the money, he had to borrow money from everywhere, and even bowed to some people who were not friendly at ordinary times. And sweeping the streets made him feel ashamed. Whenever he walked through the familiar streets and saw those neighbors who once greeted him with smiles now looked at him strangely, his heart felt like being cut by a knife.

Although Xu Damao also felt aggrieved and embarrassed, he was more thinking about how to get out of this predicament. He began to ask around to see if there was any way to escape the punishment of street sweeping, or at least reduce it. However, he soon found that it was all in vain. The law is fair and will not change because of personal wishes.

In this way, the three began their career as street sweepers. Every morning, when the first rays of sunlight filled the earth, they picked up brooms and went to the streets. They wore uniform uniforms, masks and hats, trying to hide their identities. However, no matter how they covered themselves up, they could not change the voices of people pointing and whispering.

In the process of sweeping the streets, the three gradually discovered their similarities. They all had dreams and pursuits, and they all fell and got lost in life. However, faced with the cruel reality and the punishment of the law, they chose to escape and resist. This common experience made them begin to understand and support each other. They began to share each other's stories and feelings and face the challenges of life together.

As time went by, the three gradually adapted to the life of street sweepers. They began to learn how to get along with the people around them and how to face those strange looks and accusations. They began to use their actions to prove their changes and growth. Whenever they saw the streets become clean and tidy, they would feel an inexplicable sense of accomplishment.

However, this short-lived sense of achievement was like a meteor across the night sky, fleeting. As the street cleaning work progressed, the three young men who once thought highly of themselves gradually began to realize that what they needed to change was not just limited to their superficial behavior, but more importantly, the attitudes and deep-rooted concepts hidden deep in their hearts.

So, they stopped sweeping their brooms and fell into deep self-reflection. They began to seriously think about how they could become a person who is truly valuable to society and others.

In this difficult transformation process, Liu Yi took the first step bravely. He decided to completely let go of the arrogance and prejudice that had been tightly binding him, and actively communicate with the ordinary people around him.

He no longer ignored other people's opinions as he did before, but listened to every voice patiently and tried to understand other people's thoughts and feelings. Moreover, he also took practical actions to make up for the mistakes he had made in the past.

Gradually, Liu Yi successfully won the understanding and respect of the people around him with his sincerity and persistence. His change was like a bright dawn, illuminating the way forward for Jia Dongxu and Xu Damao. Inspired and inspired by Liu Yi, Jia Dongxu and Xu Damao also made up their minds and began to emulate Liu Yi's practices.
