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

Chapter 138: It's the recent events that bother me

Grandpa nodded and said, "I understand how you feel, child. Everyone has their own emotions and positions, but we must learn to be tolerant and understanding, especially to those we care about."

Huaihua listened to her grandfather's words, and the resentment in her heart gradually dissipated. She knew that her grandfather was right and that she should learn to let go of the resentment of the past and face the future life.

However, despite Huaihua's efforts to calm down, the tension between Qin Huairu and Yu Li still exists. Although the two have re-participated in the management of the noodle shop, the gap between them is difficult to completely eliminate.

One weekend, the noodle shop welcomed a group of tourists who came to visit and the business was extremely busy. Yu Li was responsible for entertaining the guests, Qin Huairu was busy in the kitchen, and He Yuzhu was busy in front and behind to ensure that everything went smoothly.

Just then, a female customer questioned an innovative dish on the new menu. She thought the dish was not traditional enough and deviated from the flavor of old Beijing. Yu Li stepped forward to explain, but the customer was obviously not satisfied and her voice became louder and louder.

"This dish doesn't taste like old Beijing cuisine at all. Why make these changes? I come here just for the traditional taste!" said the female customer indignantly.

Yu Li tried to explain: "Madam, we hope to make some innovations while preserving traditions to attract more customers."

At this time, Qin Huairu also came out. She glanced at the female customer and said softly, "I'm sorry, ma'am. Maybe this dish really doesn't suit your taste. We will try our best to improve it. I hope you can give us some more suggestions."

After hearing what Qin Huairu said, the female customer finally calmed down a little, nodded, and continued to enjoy other dishes. Yu Li looked at Qin Huairu and couldn't help feeling a little dissatisfied: "Huairu, aren't you giving in too much? We can't always accommodate the tastes of customers, otherwise what's the point of our innovation?"

Qin Huairu frowned and retorted: "Yu Li, the opinions of customers are very important. If we insist on our own ideas and ignore the needs of customers, how can we do business well?"

The argument between the two gradually heated up, and He Yuzhu hurried over to smooth things over: "Okay, okay, stop arguing. We need to listen to the opinions of customers, but we can't completely abandon our original intention. We need to find a balance to preserve traditions while attracting new customers."

Yu Li and Qin Huairu didn't say anything, but the antagonism between them still existed. He Yuzhu saw it and felt helpless. He knew that it would take more time and effort to completely resolve the conflict between the two women.

A few days later, He Yuzhu decided to hold a staff party, hoping to use this opportunity to ease the tense atmosphere. He invited all the employees of the noodle shop, including Yu Li and Qin Huairu, to have a barbecue dinner in the backyard of the noodle shop.

At the party, everyone drank and chatted, and the atmosphere gradually became lively. He Yuzhu took the opportunity to raise his glass and said to everyone: "Thank you all for your hard work during this period. The success of the noodle shop today is inseparable from the efforts of everyone. I hope we can continue to unite and cooperate in the future to make the noodle shop better!"

Yu Li and Qin Huairu also raised their glasses and smiled. Although there was still a gap between them, everyone tried their best to behave harmoniously in such an occasion.

Huaihua sat aside, watching the delicate relationship between her brother and the two women, and she felt a little emotional. She knew that this noodle shop was not just a place for business, but also a bond of emotion for everyone. No matter how many difficulties they encountered, as long as everyone united as one, they would be able to overcome the difficulties.

However, just when everyone thought life was gradually returning to normal, an anonymous letter broke the peace again. The letter mentioned that someone was secretly planning to sell the land where the noodle shop was located to a real estate company for commercial development.

He Yuzhu looked at the letter and was immediately filled with doubts and uneasiness. He didn't know the authenticity of the letter, but in any case, the news could not be ignored. So he decided to gather everyone again to discuss countermeasures.

At the party, He Yuzhu took out the letter, and everyone started talking about it. Old Li was the first to speak: "Someone must be behind this, trying to take advantage of the opportunity to make a profit. We can't let them succeed!"

Yu Li nodded in agreement: "Yes, we must find out the truth of this matter and not let the noodle shop be affected."

Qin Huairu also expressed her support: "Yes, we must unite and find out who is behind this."

After listening to everyone's opinions, He Yuzhu felt more confident. He decided to first go to the municipal government to find out whether there was such a development plan. At the same time, he also hoped to get the support of the government to protect the interests of the noodle shop and the courtyard.

A few days later, He Yuzhu took the letter to the municipal government. He explained the contents of the letter in detail, hoping that the government would give a clear answer. After hearing the letter, the city government officials said that they would immediately launch an investigation and promised to do their best to protect the historical and cultural heritage and would not easily carry out commercial development.

He Yuzhu was relieved to hear this reply, but he knew that the matter was far from over. After returning to the courtyard, he told everyone the city government's reply and also said that they should always be vigilant to prevent anyone from secretly making trouble.

In the following days, He Yuzhu, Yu Li and Qin Huairu continued to run the noodle shop together, while also paying close attention to the surrounding developments. They strengthened communication with the municipal government to ensure that timely response measures could be taken if there was any disturbance.

However, the crisis of Siheyuan does not only come from the outside. Internal contradictions and misunderstandings are also gradually accumulating, especially the relationship between Qin Huairu and Yu Li, which has not been completely resolved.

One night, Huaihua found Qin Huairu in the yard. She saw Qin Huairu sitting alone with a trace of sadness on her face. Huaihua walked over and asked softly: "Sister Huairu, what's wrong with you? Are you worried about something?"

Qin Huairu raised her head and forced a smile: "Nothing, it's just that recent events have made me a little upset."

Huaihua sighed and sat next to her: "I know there are some conflicts between you and Sister Yu Li, but I believe you can solve it. We are all for the good of the noodle shop, aren't we?"

Qin Huairu nodded, but the

Lou Xiao'e went to argue with them.

Qin Huairu nodded, but the sadness in her eyes did not dissipate. Huaihua saw it and felt helpless. She knew that the two former friends had now had irreconcilable conflicts due to interests and differences. Although she hoped to ease all this through her own efforts, the actual situation was far more complicated than she imagined.
