Siheyuan: A journey of mountains and rivers

The next night, the courtyard was exceptionally quiet, and the air was filled with a tense atmosphere. He Yuzhu and Yi Zhonghai quietly waited in the dark, waiting for that moment to come.

At midnight, Bang Geng and the strangers quietly appeared in the yard and began to act. Just as they were about to implement their plan, lights suddenly lit up around them, and a group of people quickly surrounded them.

"You are surrounded, put down what you are holding immediately!" Yi Zhonghai shouted loudly, his voice echoing in the night sky.

Bang Geng and the strangers panicked. They didn't expect to be discovered, let alone surrounded by so many people. Bang Geng's face was pale, and his eyes were full of fear and despair.

"He Yuzhu, how did you know?" Bang Geng asked in horror.

He Yuzhu looked at him coldly, "Bang Geng, you underestimate me too much. I have already seen what you and these people planned."

Yi Zhonghai stepped forward and said to Bang Geng and the strangers, "Your conspiracy has been exposed. You'd better tell the truth, otherwise you will bear the consequences."

Banggeng lowered his head, knowing that he had no way to escape. He trembled and said, "We...we just wanted to steal some things and sell them to make money."

Yi Zhonghai said sternly: "Your behavior has violated the law and you must accept the due punishment."

Under everyone's gaze, Banggeng and the strangers were taken away, and the courtyard returned to peace. He Yuzhu finally breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that his innocence had been proven, and life in the courtyard would continue.

He Yuzhu finally breathed a sigh of relief from the recent series of events. He knew that his life would return to peace after Banggeng and those strangers were brought to justice. However, He Yuzhu knew that the disputes in the courtyard would not end. In order to solve this problem once and for all, he decided to find an opportunity to let those who had stood on the opposite side understand that their conspiracy would not succeed.

On a sunny morning, He Yuzhu was busy in the yard, and Lou Xiaoe was helping him, both of them had happy smiles on their faces. Suddenly, He Yuzhu came up with a plan, he wanted to get Qin Huairu involved, so that he could completely dispel the ideas of those who were still ready to make a move.

"Xiao'e, I want to find Qin Huairu to talk, what do you think?" He Yuzhu said to Lou Xiao'e while wiping the tools in his hands.

Lou Xiao'e looked up at He Yuzhu and smiled slightly, "Brother Yuzhu, are you worried that she will continue to mess things up?"

He Yuzhu nodded, a trace of deep thought flashed in his eyes, "Yes, I have never been able to figure out Qin Huairu's thoughts. She has some influence in the courtyard. I hope to let everyone understand through her that unity is the most important thing."

Lou Xiao'e gently patted He Yuzhu's shoulder and said softly, "Then go ahead. I believe you can handle it."

He Yuzhu smiled, feeling warm in his heart. He walked out of the yard, came to Qin Huairu's door, and knocked gently.

"Who is it?" Qin Huairu's voice came from inside, with a hint of vigilance.

"It's me, He Yuzhu." He Yuzhu replied.

After a while, the door opened and Qin Huairu stood at the door with a look of doubt and vigilance on her face. "Yuzhu, what do you want to talk to me about?"

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Sister Huairu, I have something I want to talk to you about. Why don't you come to my house and have a seat?"

Qin Huairu hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Okay."

The two walked back to He Yuzhu's home, Lou Xiao'e had already prepared tea, and smiled and asked Qin Huairu to sit down. He Yuzhu picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then said, "Sister Huairu, I know there have been many misunderstandings and conflicts before, but we are all neighbors, I hope to resolve these conflicts and live a good life together."

Qin Huairu looked at He Yuzhu, then at Lou Xiaoe, with a complicated look in her eyes, "Yuzhu, what do you mean by that? I haven't done anything to let you down."

He Yuzhu nodded, "I know, but I hope you can do me a favor. A lot of things have happened in the courtyard recently, and everyone is in a bad mood. I want to hold a small party, where we can have a meal together, chat, and untie the knots in our hearts. Are you willing to help?"

Qin Huairu was slightly stunned, as if she didn't expect He Yuzhu to make such a request. She was silent for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, I'm willing to help."

He Yuzhu smiled with satisfaction, "Thank you, Sister Huairu. Let's work together to restore peace to the Siheyuan."

In the next few days, He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu began to prepare for the party. They invited every household in the courtyard, and everyone seemed a little surprised and expectant. In this process, He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu also had more exchanges, and gradually, the gap between them was eased.

On the night of the party, the courtyard was bustling with activity. Everyone gathered together, the courtyard was filled with all kinds of delicious food, and there was constant laughter. He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu were busy greeting everyone, and the atmosphere was particularly harmonious.

"Everyone, please sit down. Today we won't talk about those annoying things. Let's just talk about the happy things in life." He Yuzhu stood in the middle of the yard and said loudly.

The neighbors nodded, picked up their glasses, toasted each other, and the atmosphere gradually became warmer. Qin Huairu walked to He Yuzhu and whispered, "Yuzhu, today's party was really successful, and everyone is very happy."

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Yes, Sister Huairu, this is the life we ​​want. Living in harmony with each other is more important than anything else."

At this moment, a familiar voice came from the crowd, "Brother Yuzhu, I didn't expect you to have such a good idea."

He Yuzhu turned around and saw Xu Damao coming over with a glass of wine, with a smile on his face. Xu Damao and He Yuzhu didn't have a very good relationship at ordinary times, but in this atmosphere, he also put aside his usual hostility.

"Xu Damao, let's not talk about the past today. Let's just drink and chat about happy things." He Yuzhu said with a smile, raising his glass and clinking it with Xu Damao.

Xu Damao laughed and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

The whole party was held in a joyful and harmonious atmosphere, and He Yuzhu felt full of satisfaction and relief. He knew that although there are many twists and turns and challenges in life, as long as everyone works together, they will be able to overcome all difficulties.

Late at night, the party gradually ended, and the neighbors said goodbye and went home. He Yuzhu and Lou Xiaoe sat in the yard, looking at the starry sky, their hearts filled with peace and happiness.

"Brother Yuzhu, I'm really happy today." Lou Xiao'e leaned on He Yuzhu's shoulder and said softly.
