Siheyuan: I am reborn as a good person He Yuzhu

There were two beds in the room, the table was full of messy things, and there were a few pairs of rubber shoes thrown randomly on the floor. There was no mission today, so He Yuzhu took the opportunity to clean up this messy lounge.

He moved all the items on the table onto the bed, then found a broom to clean the floor.

After cleaning, he dragged over two shelves, carefully sorted out the tools and various sundries on the table, and meticulously wiped them clean one by one with a rag.

"This is what a lounge should look like."

He Yuzhu looked at the newly tidy lounge with satisfaction and couldn't help nodding in praise.

Just then, Master Qi walked into the lounge, looked around the clean environment and said with a smile: "Zhu Zi, you did a great job!"

"Master Qi, you're here." He Yuzhu turned around and saw Master Qi and greeted him with a smile.

"Yes, today I'm here to teach you how to start the car." Master Qi said as he walked to the tool cabinet at the door and took out a crank handle. "This is what you use to start the car."

After Master Qi explained in detail, he handed the crank handle to He Yuzhu and explained: "This is a thing called a crank. You need to use it to start the machine."

Thinking of the convenience of starting a car with just one button in his previous life, He Yuzhu felt at a loss whether to laugh or cry when he saw the old-fashioned tools in front of him.

Then, Master Qi demonstrated the operating steps next to the car, opened the driver's side door, and used the crank to start the engine compartment. After his series of skilled operations, the engine roared.

Master Qi signaled He Yuzhu to give it a try. So, the latter picked up the crank handle and tried it according to the instruction.

The first attempt didn't work. There was a "click" and then no more sound, which caused a burst of laughter at the scene. "Hahahaha..." Master Qi was so amused that he laughed out loud.

"Try again, don't be nervous." Facing Master Qi's words of encouragement, He Yuzhu smiled awkwardly, regrouped and tried again. Finally, the second time, the car engine started smoothly.

"Very good, this time it's perfect." Master Qi nodded in appreciation, "Then let's get in the car and start learning driving skills."

After the two of them sat in the passenger and driver's seats respectively, they followed the specific instructions of Master Qi: first pull the handle on the left side of the steering wheel to release the brake, turn the ** key to start the engine; then follow the prompts to release the handbrake step by step and shift into gear...

The car started off steadily.

As the vehicle slowly moved forward, He Yuzhu followed the instructions and said, "Lightly press the clutch to shift to second gear." During the acceleration process, Master Qi reminded, "Don't hold the steering wheel too tightly when turning. It is more conducive to driving if you relax a little."

After gradually becoming familiar with the operation, He Yuzhu easily adjusted the direction and kept the car in the center of the road.

Seeing He Yuzhu's increasingly skilled driving skills, Master Qi praised him and nodded frequently with satisfaction. "Very good, just keep practicing more."

After Master Qi finished speaking, he opened the door and got out of the car. He Yuzhu also parked the car and got out. His eyes fell on the car in front of him, and his heart was moved. In his previous life, he never had the opportunity to drive a car, but now this wish has finally come true. Although this car is much simpler than the car in his previous life, it is very satisfying to He Yuzhu. He firmly believes that as long as he has enough time, he will definitely become an excellent driver.

Immersed in this thought, He Yuzhu couldn't help but smile. "Zhuzi, what's wrong with you? What are you laughing at?" Master Liu came over and saw He Yuzhu laughing happily, and couldn't help asking. "Nothing, I just think driving is really interesting." He Yuzhu came back to his senses and explained with a little embarrassment. "Interesting? Driving is exhausting." Master Liu said disdainfully.

"Maybe it's because I'm not used to it yet." He Yuzhu replied with a smile. He understood that for experienced drivers like Master Liu, driving is a boring job, but for beginners it is full of freshness. But he believed that as long as he had more time to adapt, he would be able to do it and become an excellent driver.

In the following time, He Yuzhu was busy practicing driving. At first he was a little unfamiliar...

At that moment, a tall man stared with wide eyes and angrily questioned: "Hey, Lao He, what's your attitude? Which Beijing man doesn't do what he says? Are you still a man if you take the money but don't do the work?" Two workers with honest and slightly stubborn faces stood in front of him. He Yuzhu saw their dedication and persistence clearly and felt guilty. These two workers worked hard on the construction site all day just to earn more money. How could they cope with such a complicated situation?

"I'm sorry..." He Yuzhu was about to explain, but was interrupted by Liu Ping. "Is it useful to apologize? My son Zhuzi is still waiting for this money to treat his illness! You are going to ruin our family's livelihood!" Liu Ping's eyes were red and her tone was filled with sobs.

The little girl next to him shed tears silently, and her figure looked extremely lonely and helpless in the sunset. He Yuzhu's mood suddenly became heavy. He knew that this matter was not only about economic issues, but also involved the intricate interpersonal relationships and hidden emotional disputes in the courtyard. Behind the surface harmony of the community, people have their own secrets, and every move is watched and judged by the neighbors.

"Old Yan, tell me, when did I, He Yuzhu, ever do such a dishonest thing?" He Yuzhu turned to Yan Bugui, hoping that he could be fair. However, Yan Bugui remained silent. He used to be a good man who always tried to mediate conflicts and didn't want to offend anyone, but now he has changed. As the only breadwinner in the family with a stable income, he must be thrifty to ensure that every expense in the family is under control. This cautious lifestyle during the poverty period was originally for survival. Even though life has gradually improved, his shrewdness has not diminished, but has become even worse.

Qin Huairu stood aside, watching the fight coldly. She understood that this dispute was not caused by He Yuzhu's breach of trust, but by the greed and selfishness of the people. At first, her wish was just to raise her children with her own labor after her husband's death. However, the tolerance around her gradually gave rise to more desires in her heart. She began to yearn for more, to occupy more resources, and hoped to find her own place in this courtyard.

As the night fell, He Yuzhu sighed helplessly and left the scene. He knew clearly that this dispute was far from over, but he could no longer continue to deal with it like this. Change was imperative, otherwise this courtyard would be immersed in contradictions forever.

It was late at night when he returned home. Although he was exhausted, his mind was still lingering on the noise just now. He realized that the two people might have gone to the security department to inquire about Yi Zhonghai. This made He Yuzhu worried: not only would it cause more trouble, but it might also cause them to lose trust in the future.

Fortunately, the two did not go to the security department to inquire about the situation. Perhaps they had seen through He Yuzhu's state of mind and chose to retain his simplicity and kindness in this complicated world.

Even so, He Yuzhu still couldn't relax, because he foresaw that a greater test was coming. Only by facing it bravely could he control the fate of this courtyard.

Seeing more and more people gathering, Jia Dongxu's face became more and more ugly. He didn't want such things to affect the image of the Jia family. He cast a look at his mother.

Jia Zhang understood her son's hint, and immediately took Qin Huairu's hand and said, "Sister, let's go home. We shouldn't stay here for long." Although Qin Huairu was reluctant to leave, she felt that her grievances were being ignored; however, her husband was injured, and it would be unfair for her to leave.

However, no matter how unwilling she was, she could not resist Jia Zhang's dragging and was eventually forced to leave.

At this time, He Yuzhu stopped them loudly, "Stop! Who said you can leave?"

Jia Dongxu's face suddenly changed. He stopped and asked, "Do you still want to hit someone? So many neighbors are watching. If you do it, I will make you stay in the police station for a few days to reflect on your actions."

He Yuzhu smiled faintly, "You really take yourself too seriously. I don't want to bother with you. But this matter must be resolved. There needs to be an explanation for what happened today."

"What explanation do you need?" Jia Dongxu said unwillingly, "This is just a trivial matter. Is it necessary to make such a big fuss?"

"It's a small matter? Then ask the neighbors."

Neighbors expressed their dissatisfaction, saying, "This is really not a small matter. This practice is really unbearable!" "The pool is a public facility, why should it be monopolized?"

"The Jia family's behavior is too strong. Who would dare to live with them as neighbors?"

Listening to the neighbors' reproaches, Jia Dongxu had to think more: if this matter spread, it would have a significant impact on the Jia family.

Jia Dongxu immediately bowed and apologized to the neighbors around him: "My fellow villagers, I am so sorry. This matter was not handled well by our family. I hereby solemnly apologize to everyone. Please be gracious and don't take it too seriously."

However, He Yuzhu scoffed and said, "Is that it? You beat up my sister and you just want to get rid of me with a casual apology? Do you think I'm someone who can be fooled so easily?"

Seeing He Yuzhu's determined expression, Jia Dongxu's face suddenly turned ugly. He knew that today's matter might not be solved by simply apologizing - this young man was obviously picking a quarrel and was determined to make things worse.

But even so, he couldn't retreat at this moment. If he gave in now, it would be difficult for the Jia family to gain a foothold in the courtyard in the future. Thinking of this, Jia Dongxu gritted his teeth and said, "What do you want? You want us to kowtow to you and apologize?"

"Why not?" He Yuzhu responded coldly, "My sister has been wronged. How can a simple 'sorry' be enough for you to treat her like this?"

Jia Dongxu was choked and speechless. He originally thought that this matter could be easily resolved, but he didn't expect this young man to be so difficult. He took a deep breath and apologized again, saying, "Okay, I formally apologize to your sister and all the neighbors here. We were wrong."
