Siheyuan: The rise and fall of the He family is our responsibility

The residents of the courtyard expressed their understanding and support for He Yuzhu's decision. They still patronized the noodle shop every day to taste the bowl of noodles with soybean paste that was full of friendship. He Yuzhu also felt the warmth from his neighbors. He knew that no matter how big the difficulties the noodle shop encountered, he had a group of reliable friends and supporters.

However, life is never smooth sailing. Just when He Yuzhu thought everything was on track, a new crisis quietly arrived. This crisis did not come from inside the noodle shop, but from outside.

One morning, He Yuzhu was busy in the noodle shop when a stranger walked in. The man claimed to be a representative of a real estate development company. He brought a document stating that their company planned to carry out large-scale demolition and reconstruction in the hutong, and hoped that He Yuzhu would cooperate and was willing to give generous compensation.

When He Yuzhu saw the document, he was shocked. He knew that this meant that the courtyard house would face the crisis of demolition again. He did not express his opinion immediately, but decided to call the residents of the alley together to discuss countermeasures.

That night, the residents of the alley gathered at He Yuzhu's noodle shop, and the atmosphere was extremely solemn. Old Li spoke first: "Everyone, we just went through a demolition crisis, and now there is another one. What should we do this time?"

Everyone expressed their concerns and uneasiness. Some advocated accepting compensation and moving to a new place to live, while others insisted on defending their homes and were unwilling to leave the land that had nurtured them for generations.

He Yuzhu looked at everyone, with a lot of thoughts in his mind. He knew that this crisis was more serious than the last one because the real estate development company was powerful and had sophisticated means. In order to find the best solution, he decided to go to the city government with his neighbors to report the situation, hoping to win more support.

So He Yuzhu and several representatives set out on the road to the municipal government again. This time, they not only had to face the pressure from the real estate company, but also had to deal with various complex conflicts of interest. However, their belief remained firm, that is, to protect the Siheyuan, to protect this piece of their beloved home.

In the meeting room of the municipal government, He Yuzhu and the representatives elaborated on the historical and cultural value of the courtyard house and the deep feelings of the residents for this land. They hoped that the municipal government would consider carefully and not demolish this historic hutong lightly.

After hearing the residents' wishes, the city government officials also felt the residents' sincerity and determination. After many discussions and evaluations, they decided to postpone the demolition plan and organize an expert group to conduct further research and find a solution that can achieve both protection and development.

The news made He Yuzhu and his neighbors feel relieved. They knew that although the crisis was temporarily lifted, the future was still full of challenges. However, they did not give up, but continued to unite and work hard to find solutions to the problem.

Huaihua is indignant at Qin Huairu and Yu Li's behavior of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge

The residents of the Siheyuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the real estate company's demolition plan was temporarily shelved. However, the calmness of the Siheyuan was only on the surface. The inner waves were still surging, especially between He Yuzhu, Qin Huairu and Yu Li, where conflicts and misunderstandings were still fermenting secretly.

Huaihua is He Yuzhu's sister. Although she has a gentle personality, she is very concerned about family and neighborhood affairs. She has been watching silently from the side, and she feels very unfair about the troubles caused to her brother by Yu Li and Qin Huairu's withdrawal of investment.

One day, Huaihua asked Qin Huairu and Yu Li out. Under a big locust tree in the backyard of the noodle shop, she bluntly expressed her dissatisfaction: "Yu Li, Huairu, I know about your withdrawal of investment. Don't you think it's unfair to my brother?"

Yu Li and Qin Huairu looked at each other, and Qin Huairu was the first to refute: "Huaihua, this is not our fault. We are also doing this for the good of the noodle shop. Our decision is different from Yuzhu's, so we will withdraw. We haven't done anything wrong."

Huaihua looked at them coldly: "You did nothing wrong? Then have you ever considered my brother's feelings? He has put so much effort into this noodle shop, but you withdrew your investment because of a small disagreement. Isn't this just destroying the bridge after crossing it?"

Yu Li frowned and tried to explain: "Huaihua, you have to understand that we have no choice. The development direction of the noodle shop is different. We can't continue to cooperate. This is not good for anyone."

Huaihua shook her head, her tone still firm: "I understand that you all have your own reasons, but have you ever thought that cooperation is not just for profit, but also for emotion and responsibility. My brother has always regarded you as friends. If you do this, how can he face the future business?"

Qin Huairu was silent for a while, and then whispered, "Huaihua, we don't want to make things so complicated, but the reality is that we all want the noodle shop to be good, but we have different methods."

Huaihua's eyes were filled with disappointment: "If that's the case, then you should sit down and talk it over instead of quitting so easily. My brother is not an unreasonable person. He will listen to your opinions and work together to find a solution to the problem instead of choosing the easiest way."

After hearing this, Yu Li took a deep breath and said slowly: "Huaihua, you are right. We do owe Yu Zhu an explanation and a true spirit of cooperation. I will talk to him again to see if there is a better solution."

Qin Huairu also nodded: "I will also go to talk to Yu Zhu, hoping to find a compromise."

Huaihua finally smiled: "That's more like it. No matter what, we are all friends. Cooperation is not something that can be done overnight. It requires mutual understanding and support. I hope you can get through this difficult time with my brother."

That evening, He Yuzhu had just finished a day's work and was sorting out the account books in the noodle shop. Yu Li and Qin Huairu walked in one after another, with a hint of apology and determination on their faces. He Yuzhu was a little surprised to see them, but he still asked them to sit down.

Yu Li spoke first: "Yuzhu, we are here today to talk to you about the withdrawal of investment. We think that some things should be reconsidered."

He Yuzhu was slightly stunned, then put down the account book in his hand and looked at them seriously: "What's wrong? Haven't you decided yet?"

Qin Huairu took over the conversation: "Yuzhu, we know that you have paid a lot for the noodle shop. We are also very sorry for our previous actions. We hope to find a better solution and not let the noodle shop be affected by our disagreement."

He Yuzhu's heart moved, and his expression eased a lot: "I'm very happy that you said that. In fact, I don't want everyone to be unhappy because of these things. Cooperation does require adjustment, but as long as everyone has the same goal, we can always find a way."
