Siheyuan: I am reborn as a good person He Yuzhu

He Daqing turned to look at Yu Li, his tone became firm and stern: "Yu Li, don't stir up trouble here. Our family's problems will be solved by ourselves."

Yu Li smiled coldly, "Solve? You guys are just talking about it."

These words obviously angered He Daqing. He walked quickly to the yard, picked up a stick and smashed it hard on the window of **. The sound of glass breaking attracted the attention of people around.

Ma San's wife heard the noise and ran out of the house. She looked at the broken window and He Daqing standing beside her, her face turning blue with anger. "What are you doing? Why are you smashing my window?" she asked angrily.

He Daqing sneered, "Why? You know it in your heart! What ** did last night, don't you think it's a big deal?"

This sentence made Ma San's wife speechless for a moment, but she still responded firmly: "We will naturally solve our own problems. What's the point of you making trouble outside?"

He Daqing looked at her directly, "In that case, let's wait and see the result. If there is no explanation, I will never give up. Until you get out of this courtyard!" These words triggered a lot of discussion. After all, there have been rumors in the courtyard accusing the He family of bullying newcomers. Today's incident has deepened people's impression.

Although Ma San's wife's face turned red, she realized that a head-on confrontation was not a solution, so she suppressed her anger and retreated back into the house.

Watching her leaving, He Daqing revealed a smug smile, secretly calculating that he could use more means to make ** surrender.

Soon, Ma San returned home and was furious when he heard about the smashed window. He grabbed a knife and wanted to go to the He family to argue, but was stopped by the neighbors. "Ma San, calm down! Don't be impulsive," the neighbors advised.

"How can I stay calm? You want me to stay calm in the face of such rude behavior?"

An elderly neighbor stood up and said, "Ma San, please listen to us first. This is indeed not just the He family's fault. We heard about what happened last night, and you do need to take some responsibility. We all know each other in the courtyard, but we moved in later after all, so we need to be more careful about many things."

These words made Ma San stunned, and then he realized that his impulsiveness might make the situation worse. He sighed heavily and put down the knife in his hand. "Okay, I understand, thank you."

Then, he walked into his room silently. When the door was opened, Ma San's wife looked worried. But Ma San did not blame her. Instead, he stood by the window, looking at the pile of broken glass and fell into deep thought.

This farce ended in an unexpected way. The residents of the courtyard talked about the complexity of human nature and the impermanence of life. He Daqing stood at the door of his house, looking smug, as if he had already won the fight. However, he did not realize that more serious troubles were approaching quietly.

Suddenly, He Yuzhu picked up a piece of broken glass and shouted, "Whoever did this, stand up!"

There was an uproar in the courtyard. The broken glass was originally part of his window, and now it was scattered all over the floor. A gust of cold wind blew into the house, causing Liu Ping, who was sitting on the kang, to shiver. She was already weak and sickly, and now her face became even paler.

"Aren't you trying to force people to death? Zhuzi, what happened?" Liu Ping held He Yuzhu's hand tightly and asked with some fear.

"Mom, don't worry, I will take care of it." He Yuzhu patted the back of his mother's hand to comfort her.

At that time, the courtyard house was not only a place to live, but also a bond for emotional communication between neighbors. The relationship between neighbors was much closer than later. When someone had a patient or a newborn baby, everyone in the courtyard would usually lend a hand. This tacit understanding made He Yuzhu particularly angry - ** was so ignorant.

"Mom, we can't let this matter go so easily! Ma San, stand up now!" He Yuzhu continued to shout while holding the glass fragments.

Just then, He Daqing walked in with a gloomy face. Seeing this, Liu Ping subconsciously retracted her hand.

"Dad, this matter must be resolved. If Ma San doesn't apologize, no one will help each other when others are in trouble in the future. If something happens to Mom, you can't take the responsibility." He Yuzhu said with his eyes wide open.

"I'm responsible? Will they really refuse to help? I don't believe it! I will report it to the leaders and let them judge right and wrong!" He Daqing said with his eyes wide open.

"Will it be helpful if you go to the leader? The urgent tasks right now are not just these trivial matters. Moreover, if we make a big deal out of this, it will only cause trouble. What if the leader gets angry and thinks we are disturbing social order and detains you?" He Yuzhu responded calmly.

"Hmph, there's nothing to be afraid of even if I get caught. I'm not afraid of being caught a second time." He Daqing replied with a sneer.

"Do you think it's okay if you don't feel afraid? You've been arrested twice and might be sentenced to a heavier sentence. My sister and I are still young. What are we going to do with our studies and life in the future?" He Yuzhu asked loudly.

He Daqing was obviously stunned after hearing his son's words. He stared into his son's eyes, as if trying to find wisdom or courage in them.

Behind He Daqing, Liu Ping and Yu Li looked at He Yuzhu with curious and inquiring eyes. They never expected that He Yuzhu, who was usually unrestrained, would say such mature words.

"You, kid, how dare you talk to me like that? Even you have learned to threaten me!" He Daqing pointed at He Yuzhu, his hands even trembling a little.

"A threat? It's up to you to understand it. Anyway, I've made it very clear: if Ma San doesn't come forward to apologize, it will be difficult for you to find help in the future." He Yuzhu straightened his neck and responded firmly.

Seeing this scene, He Daqing was stunned. He suddenly felt that the son in front of him seemed to be elusive. Although he knew that this child was smart but also naughty and often got into trouble, the current He Yuzhu was obviously different from before. Not only did he come home early, but he also said something surprising. All this made him feel familiar and strange. Is this really his son?

When He Daqing was in a daze, He Yushui walked in from outside. "Brother, I heard someone broke the glass in our house?" He looked at the broken glass on the ground and asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, this is just ordinary window glass. Ma San and the others have compensated for it, don't worry!" He Yuzhu said to his brother with a smile.

"How much did you pay?" He Yushui was obviously shocked by the amount. "Two dollars, one for each person." He Yuzhu still answered with a smile on his face.

"Only two yuan? Isn't that too little?" He Yushui seemed very dissatisfied. "Actually, it's not a small amount. This kind of compensation is also in line with the etiquette between neighbors. After all, we live in the same yard and we see each other every day." He Yuzhu explained.

"Humph...you just love to think about others."

In another scene, Xu's mother held the hand of the deaf old lady and said anxiously: "You came at the right time. I want to discuss Damao's marriage with you."

"Marriage?" The deaf old lady raised her eyebrows, "Didn't you say before that you wouldn't let Damao get married?"

"Yes, but Damao has been naughty since he was young. We are worried that he will cause bigger troubles in the future. It is better to settle him down as soon as possible and hope that he can control his temper." Xu's mother sighed and showed a helpless look on her face.

"Have you found a suitable candidate?" the deaf old lady asked. "We are still looking. Our family is not well off, so it is not easy to find a good family." Xu's mother shook her head and said with a distressed expression.

The deaf old lady smiled mysteriously and took out a piece of paper from her pocket: "I came here today to tell you good news. This is my niece's address and contact information. Her daughter is about the same age as Damao, she is pretty and gentle. I think our two families are very suitable to be in-laws."

After taking the note, Xu's mother showed some hope in her eyes: "That's great! Thank you for your help, old lady, you are such a good person!"

"We're a family, no need to be polite. It's our duty to help each other." The deaf old lady waved her hand slightly, a hint of pride flashing across her face.

Father Xu watched the situation quietly and did not interrupt their conversation. Although he had no feelings for the deaf old lady, he knew that she had a place in the family and it was not convenient to kick her out directly.

"Then I'll leave this matter to you, old lady." Xu's mother expressed her gratitude again.

"Don't worry!" The deaf old lady patted her chest and assured confidently, "I will arrange the meeting as soon as possible."

After the deaf old lady left, Xu's mother showed some worry between her eyebrows: "Can this old lady really be trusted? Is she lying to us?"

"Probably not." Father Xu thought for a moment and responded, "After all, she is a member of the Lou family, and she shouldn't do anything that would harm the family."

"I hope so." Xu's mother sighed, implying that marriage has become a headache. "Da Mao's marriage has always been on our minds. We hope that he can find a suitable life partner as soon as possible."

Seeing this, Xu's father nodded silently to show his agreement, and secretly hoped that Damao could get married and start a family as soon as possible to alleviate the worries and anxieties of the two elders.

After leaving Xu's house, the deaf old lady did not go home directly, but went to a nearby teahouse to take a rest. After finding a quiet corner to sit down, she ordered a cup of fragrant tea.

"How come you are in the mood to drink tea today, old lady?" The shop owner greeted the deaf old lady warmly when he saw her coming.

"I just came here to get some fresh air." The deaf old lady replied calmly, "A cup of green tea, please."

The shop owner agreed and turned to make arrangements. After taking a sip of tea, she fell into deep thought, realizing that what she did today might cause dissatisfaction, but she didn't care. The only thought in her mind was to contribute to the Lou family and revitalize the family.

With this thought in mind, her eyes became determined: no matter what, she must persevere to the end and complete her mission.
