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

Liu Jianguo was choked by He Yuzhu's words, his face livid. He glared at He Yuzhu fiercely, turned back to his room and slammed the door. He Yuzhu shook his head and went back to the kitchen to continue cooking. He knew that Liu Jianguo would not give up and would definitely find a chance to retaliate against him.

Sure enough, a few days later, He Yuzhu heard that Liu Jianguo was spreading rumors in the factory, saying that He Yuzhu had embezzled public funds and was planning to use the demolition funds to enrich himself. He Yuzhu was angry, but he knew that he could not act impulsively and had to find evidence to expose Liu Jianguo's true face.

He Yuzhu decided to take action. He found a few trusted friends and secretly discussed countermeasures. After a few people decided to secretly investigate Liu Jianguo's every move. Soon, they found that Liu Jianguo had close contacts with some people from the demolition company in private and even accepted a lot of bribes.

The middle-aged woman looked at He Yuzhu gratefully, tears in her eyes: "Thank you, Zhuzi. You are really our benefactor."

He Yuzhu waved his hand and said gently: "You're welcome. We are all neighbors and we should help each other. Go back and we will find a solution together."

The situation was temporarily relieved, but He Yuzhu knew that this was just the beginning. He had to find a better solution to help middle-aged women overcome their difficulties. So He Yuzhu began to run around looking for various possible solutions. He found several friends to discuss how to raise the money, and everyone expressed their willingness to lend a hand.

After several days of hard work, He Yuzhu finally raised part of the money and repaid the young man's father's debt first. For the rest, He Yuzhu decided to repay it slowly through his own labor and efforts. He worked harder every day, lived frugally, and finally paid off all the debts within the agreed time.

The young man was deeply impressed by He Yuzhu's integrity and hard work. He said gratefully, "Thank you so much, Brother He. I misunderstood you before, but now I understand that you are such a good person."

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Little brother, we are all neighbors, and it is only natural for us to help each other when we have difficulties. You should also remember that if there are any problems, we should solve them together."

The young man nodded, his heart full of respect for He Yuzhu.

Life in the courtyard returned to peace, and everyone lived in harmony. However, He Yuzhu knew that the tests in life never stopped, and he had to remain vigilant and ready to face new challenges at any time. He continued to work hard and guard this small community with his kindness and sense of justice.

As time went by, He Yuzhu's reputation grew, and many people came to him for advice and help. He Yuzhu always remained humble and sincere, and he proved with his actions that a true friend is not only someone who shares happiness in good times, but also someone who shares joys and sorrows in bad times.

One night, He Yuzhu was sorting some documents at home when he suddenly received a strange phone call. An anxious voice came from the other end of the phone: "He Yuzhu? This is Xiao Li. I'm in big trouble. Can you please help me?"

He Yuzhu put down the documents in his hand and asked quickly: "Xiao Li, what happened? Don't worry, tell me slowly."

Xiao Li's voice choked up: "Brother Zhu, I was framed, and now they are forcing me to do something illegal. I really can't hold on any longer, can you help me?"

He Yuzhu's heart sank, and he immediately decided to go and help Xiao Li. He quickly packed up his things and rushed to Xiao Li's residence. Along the way, He Yuzhu was worried about how to help Xiao Li out of the predicament.

Soon, He Yuzhu arrived at Xiao Li's residence and saw that Xiao Li looked pale and haggard. He Yuzhu patted Xiao Li on the shoulder and said gently: "Xiao Li, don't be afraid, I'm here. Let's solve this problem together. Tell me first, what kind of trouble did you encounter?"

Xiao Li said in a trembling voice: "Brother Zhu, I'm being targeted by a man named Zhang San, who wants me to help him do something illegal. If I don't agree, he will attack my family. I really don't know what to do."

He Yuzhu frowned: "Zhang San? I've heard of this person. He is indeed not a good person. Don't worry, we will definitely find a way to solve this problem."

He Yuzhu carefully inquired about Xiao Li's specific situation and learned that Zhang San was a gang leader with a group of thugs who specialized in illegal activities. Xiao Li was threatened by them and faced tremendous pressure. He Yuzhu decided to negotiate with Zhang San in person to see if the problem could be solved through negotiation.

The next morning, He Yuzhu came to the bar that Zhang San often went to. He looked around and saw a burly man sitting in the corner. It was Zhang San. He Yuzhu walked up to him and said politely, "Boss Zhang, I'm He Yuzhu, I want to talk to you."

Zhang San raised his head and looked at He Yuzhu coldly: "Are you He Yuzhu? I've heard of you, you're quite capable. What do you want from me?"

He Yuzhu smiled slightly and sat down opposite Zhang San: "Boss Zhang, I have a friend who is being targeted by you guys, I hope to discuss a solution with you."

Zhang San sneered: "Solution? If he doesn't obey, I will make him disappear. What do you think is the solution?"

He Yuzhu said calmly, "Boss Zhang, I know you are a reasonable person. How about this? I can pay back part of the money for him, and we can pay the rest in installments. Is that okay with you?"

Zhang San narrowed his eyes and looked at He Yuzhu: "You want to pay him back? Do you have the ability to do so?"

He Yuzhu nodded: "I can pay back part of it first, and pay the rest in installments. This way you can get the money as soon as possible, why not?"

Zhang San was silent for a moment, as if he was weighing the pros and cons. He finally nodded and said, "Okay, since you are so sincere, I will give you this opportunity. However, if you can't pay it back, you will be responsible for it yourself."

He Yuzhu breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Thank you, Boss Zhang, for your understanding. We will definitely repay the loan on time."

Coming out of the bar, He Yuzhu felt relieved. He knew that this was only a temporary solution, and the real problem was still to come. Back at the courtyard, he found a few friends to discuss how to raise the remaining funds.

After discussing it, they decided to borrow money temporarily to make up the amount. He Yuzhu also took out some of his own savings, and with the help of his friends, he finally made up the amount and gave it to Zhang San. He Yuzhu decided to repay the rest slowly through his own labor.

In the following months, He Yuzhu worked harder, lived frugally, and finally paid off all his debts within the stipulated time. Xiao Li also changed his ways and started his life anew.
