Siheyuan: The opening earthquake of stealing and replacing pillars

Chapter 33 4 The Little Year in the Courtyard

"Boom boom boom!"

Early in the morning, He Yuzhu was awakened by a series of hurried knocks on the door.

"Who is it? What are you making such a fuss about?"

"Zhu Zi, it's me, your aunt!"

With a "creak", the door opened, and it was indeed an old lady. He Yuzhu rubbed his eyes, a little confused.

"Auntie, something's wrong!"

"Hurry up and go to the backyard, Banggeng and the others are fighting again!" said the aunt anxiously.

"Just hit him! No one will die!" He Yuzhu was too lazy to go over. As the saying goes, there will never be peace where there is a stick.

"No, Zhuzi, you can't just ignore it. Your uncle got beaten by him too!"

"What the hell?"

He Yuzhu was so happy. Didn't you two let Banggeng take care of you in your old age? Why are you fighting again now? Haha! It's finally dog-eat-dog battle!

"Auntie, don't be anxious, tell me what's going on first!"

When the old lady saw that He Yuzhu had no intention of going out, she became very anxious and immediately told him what happened yesterday. After listening to him, He Yuzhu suddenly realized what had happened!

Yesterday, on the Little New Year, the brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu went to their second uncle's house for dinner. As soon as they entered the yard, they found that their second uncle had quietly built two earthquake shelters. The two brothers were immediately upset. They worked hard, but in the end they were still squeezed into a shabby house allocated by the unit, but their parents, who were old and retired, were still occupying four large rooms. Isn't this a waste?

However, there are two main rooms in total, and who should live in them has become a problem. The eldest brother, Liu Guangqi, is in Shimen, and now Liu Guangtian, the second oldest in the family, is the oldest, so he thinks he should live there alone.

Now the third brother Liu Guangfu was unwilling again. Why? It's a new society now, and we still have to judge by seniority. It won't work. The slogan of equality for all is not shouted in vain. Everyone who sees it has a share, don't you understand?

Finally, the two brothers started quarreling over the two rooms. The second uncle became furious when he saw this, and lamented in his heart how he could have raised such ungrateful people. He immediately picked up his walking stick and was about to beat his two unfilial sons.

As the saying goes, a dragon gives birth to a dragon, a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix, and a mouse's son is born to dig holes. Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu have been influenced by this since childhood and they don't care about the old man's feelings at all. They started fighting in front of the second uncle. The second uncle had no choice but to curse him angrily, which annoyed his two sons again. They were beaten by the second uncle since they were young and they still remember it clearly. Their buttocks hurt when they were touched. That's why they didn't treat the second uncle well. They said that parents are unfilial and children are unfilial. What's happening now? It's what I said, it's retribution!

Listen, is this what sons should say? Even if their parents have many faults, they gave birth to them and raised them. How can they say such hurtful words? The second uncle was so angry that he fainted instantly. The family rushed to send the second uncle to the hospital. Fortunately, the second uncle was strong when he was young, otherwise he would have been in danger this time.

Early in the morning, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu took the second uncle home from the hospital. When Yi Zhonghai saw the miserable condition of the second uncle, he suddenly felt a sense of grief. Although he and the second uncle often disagreed, they were of the same generation after all. In the hospital, only he and the third uncle could still communicate with each other. Which young man would take them seriously?

Yi Zhonghai felt sorry for the second uncle. The child he raised with great effort turned out to be a wolf cub? What kind of thing is this? He immediately taught the two brothers a lesson. No matter what, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu still had some humanity and felt that they had gone too far this time, so they took the initiative to take care of the second uncle.

Finally, out of sympathy, Yi Zhonghai found Jin Yintang's old man Li (whose family had a tradition of treating infertility, and Yi Zhonghai had often taken medicine from him) and got a prescription for it, saying it could relieve pain and reduce internal heat, and asked Liu Guangfu to boil it.

You need a medicine pot to boil medicine. In order to treat Qin Jingru's infertility, Xu Damao often went to Old Li to get medicine, so this medicine pot had been in his room and had hardly been moved.

Liu Guangfu went to Xu Damao to get the medicine pot, and unexpectedly met Bang Geng there. The two were making dumplings and had no time to pay attention to Liu Guangfu, so he let him do it himself. At this point, I have to say that there was a rule in the past that the medicine pot could not be given as a gift, but had to be taken by oneself, otherwise it would be unlucky, and everyone in the city knew it. But Liu Guangfu didn't believe it, and insisted that Xu Damao give it to him, and his tone was very aggressive, and Xu Damao didn't dare to confront him head-on!

But Bang Geng couldn't stand it any longer. He felt that Xu Damao, his uncle-in-law, was quite righteous. He found him a job and let him sleep at his house. He should be grateful for his kindness. So he had an argument with Liu Guangfu!

Liu Guangfu was also a mean person. He could have said anything else, but he chose to stir up trouble by bringing up the matter of Qin Huairu being a slut. Banggeng was instantly furious, and the two of them started fighting. Xu Damao was also a person who watched the fun and didn't care about other people's business. It would have been fine if he just stood by and didn't help to mediate the fight, but he kept encouraging Banggeng to fight to death, and brought up some trivial matters, which was just adding fuel to the fire!

The noise got even louder. When Liu Guangtian saw his brother being bullied, he immediately rushed over. Now it was a one-on-one fight, and it became a two-on-one fight! Seeing that Banggeng was about to suffer, Xu Damao rushed forward to help, but he didn't dare to attack Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu. Instead, he grabbed Liu Guangfu's wife and beat her up. This was more in line with his style. As the saying goes, if you can't beat a man, you can beat a woman!

At this time, Yi Zhonghai heard the noise and ran over. He hurried forward to stop the fight and pulled Bang Geng up. Yi Zhonghai was worried that he would suffer a loss, after all, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu were fighting two against one. Little did he know that Bang Geng had already gained the upper hand and was about to kill Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu. Who knew that Yi Zhonghai suddenly jumped out, and he was so angry!

(At this time, Xu Damao had already secretly hidden far away!)

Originally, the matter should have ended here. After all, the beating and scolding had been done. However, there was another but. Liu Guangfu was just a foul-mouthed person. He called Qin Huairu a slut in front of Yi Zhonghai. How much hatred and resentment did he have that he wouldn't let go of this trivial matter!

Banggeng became furious again and launched a violent charge, pushing Yi Zhonghai to the ground. Finally, Liu Guangfu was kicked in the heart by Banggeng and the three of them started fighting again.

Soon Qin Huairu and Jia Zhang came over and tried to stop the fight, but they were women after all, and they had no place to use their strength! So Qin Huairu thought of He Yuzhu. If anyone in the courtyard was the best fighter, it would have to be Shazhu!

So the old lady came to find He Yuzhu.

After hearing what happened, He Yuzhu almost laughed out loud. It was Qin Huairu again, and she was a slut. How could he not get over this joke? Haha!

When they arrived at the backyard, Bang Geng was riding on Liu Guangfu. He Yuzhu was not in a hurry to stop the fight. Instead, he squatted beside the three of them and said with a smile: "Fight, fight hard. The loser will go to the hospital, and the winner will go to jail!"

Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu stopped when they heard this. They didn't want to go to the hospital or jail. Bang Geng was also paused. In fact, the resentment in his heart had long gone. The reason he had held on until now was entirely because he was addicted to fighting.

"Hmph, it's none of your business. If you continue, I'll beat you up too!"

"Dare to threaten the leader? Damao, go call the police!" He Yuzhu stood up and looked down at Banggeng, his eyes full of mockery!

When Jia Zhang heard that He Yuzhu was going to call the police, she was immediately frightened and squatted on the ground and started crying loudly again.

"Silly Zhu, it's not Bang Geng's fault for what happened today, it's all their own fault!" Xu Damao saw through He Yuzhu's conspiracy and was so scared that he didn't dare to come over.

"Who is right and who is wrong will be figured out when the police arrive. Xu Damao, since you don't want to go, are you involved? We'll deal with you too!"

He Yuzhu certainly knew who was right and who was wrong, but he just wanted to confuse things and then prove Qin Huairu's guilt as a slut to see if she would dare to pester him again.

"Shazhu, don't accuse a good person. This matter has nothing to do with me!" Xu Damao believed he was innocent and certainly didn't want to take advantage of him.

"What do you mean it doesn't matter? I think it does matter!"

He Yuzhu slowly walked towards Xu Damao and taunted him, "As long as you're here, there's nothing good going on. If we catch you, we'll have solved half of the case!"

"Shazhu, what do you want to do? I tell you, don't come over here!" Xu Damao was so scared that he ran to the back!

"I haven't done anything wrong, so what are you afraid of?"

"What a joke! Who am I, Xu Damao, afraid of?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Damao turned around and ran back home, like a rabbit seeing an eagle, and slammed the door shut.

"I won't serve you anymore, you guys can do whatever you want!"

Xu Damao felt safe and started showing off in the house again.

Little did he know that this fell into He Yuzhu's trap. He wanted to force Xu Damao to leave and not give him a chance to speak. This way everyone would think that it was Bang Geng who started the trouble first, after all, his reputation was already bad.

It’s no wonder that without Xu Damao, the troublemaker, the whole world is much quieter.

Finally, Bang Geng was taken away by Jia Zhangshi, and the Liu brothers also went home. Only Yi Zhonghai remained at the scene. He wanted to say a few words to He Yuzhu, but He Yuzhu didn't want to pay attention to him at all. Instead, he came to the door of Ma Hua's house. At this time, Ma Hua's sister Ma Ling was sticking her head out to watch the fun, so He Yuzhu gently knocked on her head.

"Why didn't you go to school today?"

Ma Ling is fourteen years old this year, but because she started school late, she is still in the first grade of junior high school. It’s because her family is poor!

"Uncle He, have you forgotten? We are all on winter vacation!" Ma Ling replied dissatisfiedly.

"Haha, have you finished your homework?"

Ma Ling said proudly: "It has been done a long time ago!"

"Then let me test you. Under what circumstances will one plus one equal three?"

"..."

Ma Ling was stumped. She couldn't help but wonder, isn't one plus one equal to two? How could it be equal to three?

This is impossible!

"You can't answer it!" This time it was He Yuzhu's turn to be arrogant.

"Then do you know?" Ma Ling asked unconvinced.

"Of course I know, I made a mistake in the calculation! Haha~"

Ma Ling was dumbfounded. It turned out to be a brain teaser. Why didn’t I think of it?

"Hey, I'm ignoring you!"

……

He Yuzhu returned home, washed his face, and then pushed his bicycle out to go to work. But at this time, Yi Zhonghai came over again.

"Uncle, what's the matter?"

Yi Zhonghai looked at He Yuzhu, then at Qin Huairu's house, and finally sighed: "Zhuzi, let the past be the past. People always have to look forward, right?"

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "You are absolutely right. I was looking forward. Uncle, you are blocking my way!"

It turns out that this is how you look forward! Yi Zhonghai was so angry that he lost his temper!

"I'm talking about Qin Huairu. The New Year is coming soon. I thought that since everyone is still together, it would be a good opportunity for the relationship between your two families to ease up. What do you think?"

"I said - not very good!" He Yuzhu pushed Yi Zhonghai aside and walked towards the front yard.

"Pillar, pillar!"

Seeing He Yuzhu walking away without looking back, Yi Zhonghai was so angry that he was about to die.

……

At Qin Huairu's house, after some "guidance" from Jia Zhang, Banggeng went to work with a lot of anger.

"I'm not siding with Bang Geng, but you can't just let him off the hook. There are rules and etiquette for taking the medicine pot. The whole hospital uses one medicine pot, so whoever needs it should take it themselves. This has been passed down for decades, and everyone in the hospital knows it. If you send the medicine pot back, you're cursing people to get sick! Don't you think Liu Guangfu understands?"

Qin Huairu listened and silently shed tears. The reason why she was sad was not because of Bang Geng, but because of He Yuzhu's attitude.

"Shazhu didn't care about the child at all. You said my child is his child, right? Besides, Banggeng was angry to begin with. It's been eight years. If he didn't feel angry, would he not say a word? Now, the two of them are at odds again. How can I continue my marriage?"

Jia Zhang sighed and said, "Who says it's not true? If you get married, you can move to the backyard and live there. When you have a big house, you can marry a wife and have a big fat boy. How wonderful it would be!"

The family is in such a state, and you are still thinking about the house! It is still unclear whether Sha Zhu will agree or not! Thinking of this, Qin Huairu cried even harder!

"Alright, alright, stop crying, let's think of a solution!" Jia Zhang persuaded and said, "How about this, I'll go find Sha Zhu and apologize to him?"

"it's useless!"

Qin Huairu said helplessly, "It's useless to say anything now. They had a fight before. I thought it would get better after a while, but this happened again today. How can Sha Zhu not have any thoughts? Besides, Bang Geng is still with Xu Damao. If they don't separate, Sha Zhu will never be able to untie the knot in his heart!"

"You said Shazhu is the same. Why are you arguing with a child? Banggeng finally found a job, but he was trying to get in the way. Now that he's a leader, he doesn't care about our family anymore!"

Jia Zhang started to criticize He Yuzhu again. In her heart, there was only Banggeng. After all, continuing the Jia family's bloodline was the real important thing.

But isn't it the same for Qin Huairu? She can't have children herself, so won't she have to rely on Bang Geng in the future? Only when he lives well, the family will be complete. Seeing that the house is about to be acquired, who would have thought that so many accidents would happen in the middle!

"This matter is ruined by Xu Damao's hands! No, I have to go and reason with him!" After saying that, Jia Zhang rushed to the backyard in a hurry.

Looking at her back, Qin Huairu actually smiled!
