Siheyuan: I can change size at will

Three days later, the sun shone gently on the bluestone road of the Red Star Courtyard, and Liu Haizhong's family was finally discharged from the hospital.

Except for Liu Guangqi who is paralyzed and needs to rely on a wheelchair to move around, all other family members have fully recovered, their faces filled with joy of surviving the disaster and anticipation for a new life.

On the eve of this important moment, Cao Zhengshuang, as the manager of the Siheyuan, once again convened a meeting of the entire courtyard.

Although it was only three days since the last meeting, this move still attracted complaints from the residents of the courtyard house, and dissatisfaction was in the air.

"Ah, these days, if I really have no suitable place to live, I would really like to move out of this Red Star Courtyard immediately and live in peace and quiet." An old man shook his head, his tone full of helplessness.

Another person chimed in, "I thought that after Old Yi was put in prison, there would be fewer incidents in the court and fewer meetings. Who would have thought that Cao Zhengshuang is more enthusiastic about holding meetings than anyone else?"

There were complaints one after another, but they were also mixed with a bit of helplessness. "Well, after all, he is the only one in charge in the hospital now. We can't do anything about it, so we'd better not ask for trouble."

A well-informed resident mentioned a recent incident: "I heard that Xu Damao went to the subdistrict office a few days ago to report that Cao Zhengshuang had not filed a record of fundraising activities according to regulations, but he was scolded by Secretary Wang and returned home in disgrace."

During the conversation, there were both sighs at Cao Zhengshuang's cleverness and recognition of his thoroughness, "Cao Zhengshuang's work is really flawless and there is nothing to fault with it."

Faced with these comments, some praising them, some criticizing them, Cao Zhengshuang had his own thoughts. As the only person in charge of the courtyard, it was his unshirkable responsibility to establish his authority and ensure order in the courtyard.

So, amid the various looks from the crowd, he spoke calmly, "Dear neighbors, Uncle Liu Haizhong and his family will be returning home tomorrow.

The purpose of our gathering today is simple, we hope that everyone can contribute to helping Second Uncle’s family clean up the house, so that when they come back they can feel the warmth of home and the care of our big Siheyuan family.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the original complaints gradually subsided.

"As a neighbor, I think this is a small thing everyone can do."

Everyone looked at each other and thought to themselves that although this was a bit strange, at least they didn't have to pay for it, so they could barely accept it.

In this case, let's follow Cao Zhengshuang's command! Everyone took action and began to clean up the second uncle's house.

"Xu Damao, please clean this table!"

"Silly Zhu, go and clean that pot."

"Hey, whoever you are over there, hurry up and clean the floor."

"Aunt Yi, I'm calling you! Stop dawdling and clean the window glass."

Under Cao Zhengshuang's orderly command, everyone was busy.

After a whole night of hard work, Uncle Liu Haizhong's house looked brand new.

The exhausted people looked at the clean and bright house and felt a sense of accomplishment in their hearts.

The next morning, just after the sun rose, Liu Haizhong and his family returned home.

Except for Liu Guangqi who was still in a wheelchair, everyone else had recovered. When Cao Zhengshuang was brushing his teeth and washing his face in the yard, he happened to run into the family.

"Uncle, you're finally back!" Cao Zhengshuang shouted excitedly.

Liu Haizhong sighed deeply: "Alas, yes, I'm finally back..."

"Hey, Uncle, let me take you to see your home.

Knowing that you were going to be discharged from the hospital today, I specially brought everyone to help you clean up your house last night.

As Cao Zhengshuang spoke, he proudly took out a wrinkled 38 yuan from his pocket and stuffed it into Liu Haizhong's hand.

"Second uncle, this is the money I organized the people in the hospital to donate to your family. Although the amount is limited, it also represents everyone's good intentions."

Cao Zhengshuang handed the money to Liu Haizhong with a sincere look on his face, and Liu Haizhong couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Cao Zhengshuang, looking at the entire courtyard, you are the only one who cares about our Liu family the most.

After going through so many ups and downs, I have finally seen through it. You are the only one who truly treats us well!" Liu Haizhong said with deep emotion.

Cao Zhengshuang laughed and said modestly, "Second uncle, you are too kind. This is what the younger generation should do.

You are a respected elder in our courtyard, so it is only natural for me to help you solve your problems."

However, behind the seemingly enthusiastic smile, Cao Zhengshuang had his own calculations in his heart.

At this moment, he was secretly thinking about how to cleverly plot against Liu Haizhong.

After all, before Yan Bugui's family completely collapsed, Liu Haizhong still had some value.

Afterwards, Cao Zhengshuang helped Liu Haizhong and his family back home, and on the way comforted Liu Guangqi who was sitting in a wheelchair: "Don't worry, maybe in a few years, you will be able to stand up on your own."

Liu Guangqi was extremely depressed at this time, but his eyes were gleaming with anger. He gritted his teeth and asked, "Has that bastard Yan Jiecheng been caught?"

Cao Zhengshuang spread his hands helplessly and replied: "There is no news about him yet."

"Damn it, if I don't take revenge for this, I'm not a gentleman. I will make him pay with blood!"

Liu Guangqi clenched his fists tightly and made a vow to himself. Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was the next day.

It was a sunny morning, but for Yan Bugui's family it was cloudy.

Two policemen from the police station came to the courtyard and loudly announced the punishment results for Yan Jiecheng and his accomplices.

This news spread throughout the yard like thunder. Everyone put down what they were doing and rushed to the front yard.

Apart from the family members of the parties involved who were in a heavy mood, the other neighbors were there to watch the fun, with excitement and anticipation on their faces.

"Comrade police, please tell us how the verdict was made..."

At this moment, the person who was most concerned about the outcome of the verdict was Yan Bugui. After all, Yan Jiecheng was his own son!

The police officer said with a serious face: "After investigation and evidence collection, Yan Jiecheng was identified as the main culprit because he intentionally injured others with serious circumstances. According to the law, we have decided to execute him by firing squad immediately."

As soon as he finished speaking, it was like a bolt from the blue. Yan Bugui suddenly felt a black screen in front of his eyes and his body collapsed to the ground uncontrollably.

Aunt Yan standing by could not bear such a blow. Her face turned pale as paper, her eyes were closed, and she fell backwards, unconscious.

Upon hearing the verdict, Liu Haizhong's family was overjoyed.

Although Liu Guangqi was paralyzed, he was filled with joy beyond words when he learned that Yan Jiecheng was about to be shot.

"God really has eyes! God really has eyes!" Liu Haizhong was so excited that tears streamed down his face and he kept muttering to himself.

At this time, Liu Guangqi, who was sitting in a wheelchair, finally smiled. For him, this was the best news in recent times.

With the death of Yan Jiecheng, there was one less beast, and Cao Zhengshuang felt very satisfied.

Of course, this is just the beginning. There are so many beasts in the yard, and he needs to get rid of them one by one.
