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

Sha Zhu stood there, frowning, his heart full of hesitation and anxiety. He knew he had to face this problem, but he didn't know where to start.

At this moment, a middle-aged man in plain clothes came over. He looked at Sha Zhu and said with a smile: "Young man, you look so worried. Are you in any trouble?"

Sha Zhu raised his head and saw the stranger. He felt alert for a moment, but he couldn't help but pour out his troubles to him.

\"Alas, I really brought this upon myself. Now I regret it so much.\" Sha Zhu sighed and told his predicament.

The stranger frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "It seems you need some help. How about this? I can help you think of a solution to this problem."

After hearing this, Sha Zhu's eyes flashed with hope, and he couldn't help but said gratefully: "Really? Are you willing to help me?"

\"Of course, I'm Uncle He, and everyone here calls me Uncle He." The middle-aged man introduced himself with a smile.

\"Thank you, Uncle He!" Sha Zhu said gratefully.

Uncle He smiled, patted Sha Zhu on the shoulder, and comforted him: "Don't worry, let's think of a solution together. First, we have to think of a solution. Do you have any ideas?"

Sha Zhu thought for a moment and finally said: "Maybe I can borrow some money from Bang Geng to pay for the tuition first."

Uncle He nodded in agreement: "This is a good idea, but are you sure you can borrow the money?"

Sha Zhu smiled bitterly and shook his head, indicating that he was not sure.

\"It's okay, I can ask for you." Uncle He looked at Sha Zhu deeply and showed a confident smile.

So Shazhu and Uncle He went out together and walked towards Banggeng's home. Along the way, they kept communicating and discussing ways to solve the problem.

When he arrived at Banggeng's house, Shazhu was a little nervous. He didn't know whether Banggeng would agree to lend him money.

\"Shazhu, don't worry, I will say good things for you." Uncle He patted Shazhu's shoulder and encouraged him.

He Yuzhu goes out early every morning, carrying a hoe on his shoulders. Although he is no longer a factory master, he can still make a living with his good skills. He hums Peking opera tunes along the way. When neighbors see him, they always greet him warmly. He Yuzhu always responds with a smile and chats about family matters.

The third uncle in the courtyard was named Liu Jianguo. Liu Jianguo was a well-known figure in the alley. He got a mid-level management position in the factory. With this power, he often put on airs in front of the neighbors and even ridiculed some disadvantaged groups. He claimed to be upright, but in fact, he did a lot of shameful things in secret. Especially towards He Yuzhu, he was always hostile, as if he couldn't stand He Yuzhu's integrity and the respect of the neighbors for him.

It was a sunny day. He Yuzhu had just returned to the courtyard, still smelling a little dusty. He washed his face in the yard and prepared to make lunch. Suddenly, he heard a noise coming from the yard. It turned out that Liu Jianguo was arguing with his neighbors again. He shouted loudly: "You people are always fussy and come to me at the slightest sign of trouble. It's really annoying!"

He Yuzhu frowned, walked out of the house, and looked at Liu Jianguo: "Uncle Liu, can't you talk about it calmly? Aren't you afraid of scaring the children by yelling like this?"

When Liu Jianguo saw He Yuzhu, his face darkened: "Humph, He Dazhu, stop pretending to be a good guy here. I don't need you to tell me what to do!"

He Yuzhu smiled slightly, his tone still calm: "Uncle Liu, I am not blaming you, I just hope that everyone can live in harmony, after all, we are all neighbors."

Liu Jianguo snorted coldly, ignored He Yuzhu, and turned back to his room. He Yuzhu shook his head, thinking to himself that Liu Jianguo, relying on his power, was really a bit arrogant and unreasonable. Despite this, He Yuzhu didn't say much and continued to busy himself with his own things.

However, the matter did not end there. A few days later, Liu Jianguo actually gathered some people in the yard and claimed that he wanted to redistribute the public resources in the yard. He said: "As everyone knows, there have been some problems with the well in this yard recently. I decided that we need to re-plan the usage time and not let certain people monopolize the resources."

He Yuzhu frowned after hearing this. He knew that Liu Jianguo was deliberately looking for trouble, because he had never seen anyone monopolizing the well. Moreover, the time for using the well had long been agreed upon by everyone, so why was it suddenly redistributed now?

He Yuzhu walked up and said to Liu Jianguo calmly, "Uncle Liu, the use of the well has always been decided by everyone through discussion. Now we suddenly have to redistribute it. Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"

Liu Jianguo's face darkened: "What do you mean? Does my words not count? Or do you think you are the owner of this yard and can decide things at will?"

He Yuzhu was not overwhelmed by his momentum, and remained firm: "Uncle Liu, we are all residents of the courtyard. Anything should be discussed by everyone, not just one person. We can hold a meeting and discuss this issue together, instead of you having the final say."

Liu Jianguo was choked by He Yuzhu's words, and his face became even uglier. He originally wanted to take this opportunity to suppress He Yuzhu, but he didn't expect that he would be caught by him. Seeing this, other residents also echoed He Yuzhu's opinion, believing that they should discuss together instead of making a single decision.

Faced with everyone's doubts, Liu Jianguo had no choice but to agree to hold a meeting to discuss the matter. However, his hatred for He Yuzhu deepened, and he secretly vowed to find an opportunity to take revenge on He Yuzhu.

A few days later, Liu Jianguo secretly cut down a big tree in the yard at night. The tree was public property in the yard, and everyone liked to rest under the tree. The next morning, the residents found that the tree had been cut down, and they screamed and were very angry.

He Yuzhu also saw this scene, and he immediately understood that it must have been done by Liu Jianguo. Because during the meeting a few days ago, Liu Jianguo had proposed to cut down the tree, saying that the tree roots affected the foundation, but was unanimously opposed. The reason why he secretly cut down the tree at night was obviously to retaliate against He Yuzhu and intensify the conflict.

He Yuzhu decided that he could no longer tolerate it. He had to stand up and seek justice for everyone. He went to the street office and reported the matter to the relevant departments. Soon, the street office sent people to investigate and finally confirmed that it was Liu Jianguo who did it. Liu Jianguo was forced to publicly apologize and compensate everyone for their losses.
