Siheyuan: I live next door to Xu Damao, my last name is Cao

Cao Wei and Yu Li are busy at home at the moment. At first glance, it sounds like they are making arrangements, but in fact there are not too many complicated matters to deal with.

This house had been carefully cleaned and tidied up by Cao Wei long before.

Those worn-out items that could be thrown away were basically cleared away by him without mercy.

After all, Yu Li is going to get married here soon. Although there is no way to provide her with a brand new residence, at least we cannot let those broken and rotten things destroy the warm atmosphere of the new house.

All of those discarded objects were old things that had not been used for a long time and had been lying quietly in the corner, covered with thick dust. Keeping them would only add to the clutter in the house.

Just as the two of them were busy with their work in a leisurely and orderly manner.

Suddenly, a loud voice like a huge bell came in, instantly breaking the original peace and tranquility in the house. Moreover, the voice was extremely penetrating, as if it could penetrate all obstacles and reach people's hearts.

The man shouted, "Stop busying yourself! Today we are holding a general meeting. There is something very important to announce. Everyone in the hospital must attend! I heard that Sha Zhu and Xu Damao are going to reconcile this time!"

The shouts were like surging waves, hitting people's eardrums wave after wave, echoing from far away, in every corner of the yard, and clearly reaching the ears of Cao Wei and Yu Li.

When Cao Wei heard the news, he felt his heart tremble and he was stunned.

His originally calm face was now filled with doubt and confusion, and he muttered to himself, "Are these two going to reconcile? No way..."

Cao Wei pondered secretly in his heart, full of doubts.

"How is this possible? It's absolutely impossible!" Cao Wei kept repeating himself in his heart while recalling what happened not long ago.

At that time, Xu Damao was standing in front of him, gritting his teeth and glaring at others as he expressed his hatred towards Sha Zhu.

That ferocious expression was just like an enraged lion, and the rage in his eyes seemed to burn everything to ashes.

Especially the tone of his voice when he spoke, which was fierce and cruel, and he spoke in a bad tone. He also vowed to find a perfect opportunity to teach Sha Zhu a painful lesson that he would never forget.

Looking at his expression, he doesn't look like he's just saying it to scare people!

Moreover, let’s just talk about the irreconcilable hatred between these two people - a hatred that will end the entire family lineage!

Given Xu Damao's narrow-minded and vindictive character, it is harder than climbing to the sky to get him to reconcile with others!

Let alone getting them to sit down and have a good talk calmly, even just getting them to stay together quietly without saying a word would probably be an almost impossible task.

Therefore, when Cao Wei heard that Sha Zhu and Xu Damao showed signs of reconciliation, he didn't believe it deep down in his heart.

In his opinion, this news was as absurd and bizarre as a fairy tale and was hard to believe.

Yu Li also heard a loud shouting noise, and then she noticed Cao Wei standing next to her, frowning in confusion.

Yu Li's curiosity was instantly aroused. She couldn't hold back her questions and quickly stepped forward to ask, "What on earth is going on? Who are that Sha Zhu and Xu Damao? And what is this whole hospital meeting you mentioned?"

After hearing Yu Li's question, Cao Wei curled his lips at first, then showed a very disdainful expression on his face, and replied nonchalantly: "Humph, this so-called whole courtyard meeting is just a trick thought up by those nosy uncles in the courtyard. Every time such a meeting is held, they always speak endlessly on the stage and keep giving orders to everyone. But in fact, in most cases these meetings have no substantive effect at all, they are just going through the motions. Anyway, I think it doesn't matter whether to attend such a meeting or not, it's a complete waste of time!"

Cao Wei paused for a moment, a hint of deep disgust flashed across his eyes, and then he continued, "Humph! There really isn't a single person in this courtyard who can be considered a good person. You, don't just believe everything they say. These guys usually look friendly and harmonious, but what about in reality? The smiles on their faces are even more hypocritical than the masks they wear! As for what kind of sinister and cunning plots they are secretly planning behind the scenes, no one knows. This courtyard is like a huge dye vat, and no one inside is spared, all of them are stained with colorful and varied colors. People who can truly be consistent in appearance and reality are simply rare."

Yu Li listened quietly to Cao Wei's words. Her beautiful big eyes involuntarily widened a little, and her eyes were filled with surprise.

Obviously, she had never expected that Cao Wei's evaluation of the people in the courtyard would be so low. It was as if in his eyes, this courtyard had become a place of gossip and trouble filled with intrigue and deception.

Cao Wei withdrew his gaze from the courtyard and turned to look at Yu Li beside him, then asked: "Are you interested in going to this conference? In my opinion, it's just for fun. In fact, there is nothing particularly interesting. Those people, all day long, are arguing endlessly just for such insignificant trivial matters."

Yu Li tilted her head slightly, held her chin with both hands, stared into the distance, and fell into a brief contemplation.

In those eyes as bright as stars, the curious light appeared and disappeared from time to time, like a shooting star twinkling in the night sky.

After a long while, she nodded gently and said with her red lips: "Well, let's go and take a look! It sounds quite interesting. I really want to understand why the two of them chose to reconcile. I always feel that there must be an unknown story hidden here."

Cao Wei, who was standing next to Yu Li, had a helpless look on his face after hearing this. He shrugged his shoulders and thought to himself: Never mind, since she wants to go, I'll just go with her. Anyway, I have nothing to do at the moment, so why not go with her to see what these two guys are up to? Maybe we can have some fun with them.

Thinking of this, Cao Wei's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a barely perceptible smile.

Then, the two began to pack their luggage.

Yu Li gently brushed a few strands of hair on her forehead behind her ears, while Cao Wei brushed the dust off his body, and then they walked slowly towards the central courtyard with brisk steps.

Along the way, Cao Wei seemed to have opened up a chatterbox and talked incessantly to Yu Li about all the things that happened in the courtyard.

He first talked about the complicated grievances, love and hate between Sha Zhu and Xu Damao.

It then goes on to describe in detail the intricate relationships between the uncles and the various scenes of their secret struggles.

Yu Li listened quietly to Cao Wei's story, staring at him intently, her face slightly flushed with excitement.

As each gripping plot was told, Yu Li gained a lot of new insights into the courtyard she was about to integrate into.

At the same time, I am also looking forward to the upcoming academy conference.

After all the men, women, young and old in the courtyard had gathered together, the noisy sound was like boiling water, bubbling and filling the small courtyard with heat.

The shouts came one after another, like waves crashing on the shore; the discussions were noisy, like a sudden rain hitting the lotus leaves.

The laughter was as clear and sweet as silver bells, just like the singing of a nightingale.

All these sounds intertwine and entangle with each other, converging into an ocean of incomparable noise.

At this time, the current uncle Liu Haizhong was standing steadily in front of the crowd. He frowned slightly, and a look of displeasure appeared on his slightly weathered face.

Then, he coughed twice, intentionally or unintentionally. The cough was deep and powerful, like a heavy hammer hitting a hard iron plate, and each cough carried a heavy weight, hitting the depths of the hearts of everyone present.

In this courtyard as bustling as a market, the sudden cough seemed so abrupt and eye-catching, just like a huge rock suddenly thrown into an originally calm lake, instantly stirring up thousands of waves.

As expected, these coughs successfully attracted everyone's attention. Everyone's eyes seemed to be drawn by invisible threads and were all directed towards the direction of the bangs.

Liu Haizhong raised his head and chest slightly, with an unquestionable majesty in his eyes, as if he was a king looking down on his subjects, as if he was the supreme ruler of this courtyard and no one could challenge his authority.

He was about to start presiding over the whole hospital meeting. He cleared his throat first. His voice was particularly loud in the brief silence. Then he said loudly: "I called everyone here today because I have something very important to say. Everyone, please listen."
