Siheyuan, integrating everything, cultivating the city

Qin Huairu's eyes flashed with gratitude. He looked at Li Xiangqian deeply and said, "My family's food is almost gone. I want to borrow some corn seeds from you. I am willing to pay any price."

Li Xiangqian was moved when he heard this. He knew Qin Huairu's predicament and understood his desire for food. He agreed to Qin Huairu's request without hesitation.

"Uncle Qin, you don't have to worry too much. These corn seeds are meant to help the people in the yard solve their food problems. I am willing to share them with you." Li Xiangqian's voice was full of firmness and warmth.

Qin Huairu's eyes welled up with tears after hearing this. He looked at Li Xiangqian with gratitude, unable to express his gratitude. He knew that with these corn seeds, his family would be able to get through this difficult period and regain hope and warmth in life.

Li Xiangqian took out some corn seeds from his storage and gave them to Qin Huairu. Qin Huairu took the seeds and was filled with gratitude and moved. He was determined to use these seeds to grow more corn, not only for himself, but also to make a contribution to the people in the yard.

"Li Xiangqian, thank you!" Qin Huairu said excitedly, "I will plant these corn seeds well and let them become the hope of our lives."

Li Xiangqian's heart was filled with desire to solve the food problem in the yard. However, when he discovered that Xu Damao was actually plotting against Qin Huairu, his mood suddenly became much heavier.

In a corner of the yard, Li Xiangqian overheard a conversation between Xu Damao and some people. Their voices were not loud, but they were loud enough for Li Xiangqian to hear clearly.

"You see, the situation at Qin Huairu's home is already very bad, and their food is almost gone. This time we can take advantage of the opportunity to take action." There was a hint of pride and sinisterness in Xu Damao's voice.

"That's right, we can take this opportunity to borrow some food from Qin Huairu, and then sell it to others at a high price. This way we can kill two birds with one stone!" A person who followed Xu Damao said excitedly.

Hearing these words, Li Xiangqian suddenly felt angry and dissatisfied. He couldn't imagine that Xu Damao would be so cold-blooded and selfish that he would take advantage of other people's difficulties to seek personal gain.

He knew that if Xu Damao succeeded, Qin Huairu's family would be in a more difficult situation, and it might even cause greater disputes and conflicts. As a member of the courtyard, Li Xiangqian could not sit idly by, he had to take action to stop Xu Damao's conspiracy.

Li Xiangqian decided to secretly monitor Xu Damao's actions so as to stop his conspiracy at any time. He knew that this would be a struggle full of risks and challenges, but he was also determined to make a contribution to Qin Huairu and other people in the yard and protect their interests and dignity.

While Li Xiangqian was secretly monitoring Xu Damao, he did not expect that he would also fall into a scam. All this happened on a dark night when Li Xiangqian went to the water storage place in the yard to check.

He originally thought that his actions could effectively prevent the water from being stolen, but when he arrived at the water storage location, he found that more than half of the water in the water tank had been taken away, which made him feel alert and uneasy.

At this moment, he heard footsteps, and then a figure appeared from the dark, it was his good friend He Yuzhu. Li Xiangqian felt a little complicated, he doubted He Yuzhu's motives, but he was unwilling to easily believe that his good friend would betray him.

"Yuzhui, what are you doing here?" Li Xiangqian's voice revealed a hint of worry and confusion.

He Yuzhu looked around, then walked to Li Xiangqian and said mysteriously, "Xiangqian, I have something to tell you."

Li Xiangqian's heart suddenly sank, and he asked anxiously, "What's the matter?"

He Yuzhu whispered: "I heard that someone planned to steal the water storage, I want to remind you to be careful."

Li Xiangqian was moved when he heard this, and he began to doubt whether his anti-theft measures were not perfect enough. He looked at He Yuzhu gratefully, then hurriedly left the water storage site and prepared to return to the yard to strengthen the protection measures.

However, when Li Xiangqian returned to the yard, he found that it was too late. Most of the water in the water tank had been taken away, and the people in the yard began to realize the water shortage and fell into panic and anxiety.

Li Xiangqian was filled with guilt and self-blame. He realized that he had been deceived by He Yuzhu, and all this was because of his negligence and trust. He sighed deeply and vowed to learn from this lesson and never believe others' words easily again.

Li Xiangqian was filled with anger and dissatisfaction, and he felt that he was deceived by He Yuzhu, so he could not calm down. Driven by this anger, he decided to seek the help of an elder to judge the matter.

So Li Xiangqian began to ask around, looking for an elder who could give a fair judgment. With his efforts, he finally found an elder who was quite prestigious in the courtyard and was called "Grandpa".

"Uncle, I have something I want to ask you. Please give me your opinion." Li Xiangqian asked the uncle respectfully.

The old man looked at Li Xiangqian with a kind and slightly vicissitudes of life look and asked, "Young man, what's the matter? Tell me."

Li Xiangqian was filled with resentment and told the old man about He Yuzhu's deception without hesitation. He narrated the story in a passionate voice, his tone revealing anger and dissatisfaction.

"Uncle, I was deceived by He Yuzhu. He told me that someone planned to steal the stored water. As soon as I believed him, I went to check, only to find that most of the water had been taken away. I am very angry now and don't know what to do." Li Xiangqian's tone was full of anger and grievance.

The old man listened, pondered for a moment, and then slowly said: "Young man, it is often difficult to fully understand the things in the world. You were deceived because of a momentary mistake, but your heart is kind, and your original intention was for the people in the yard. Don't be discouraged by a momentary mistake. The important thing is to learn a lesson from it and no longer trust others easily."

Li Xiangqian felt a little comforted and relieved after listening to the old man's words. He knew that although he had been deceived, he should not be discouraged or give up because of it, but should learn a lesson from it and treat the people and things around him more carefully.

With the old man's consolation, Li Xiangqian's mood gradually calmed down. He was determined to be stronger and braver, and continue to fight for the people in the yard and solve the difficulties and problems they faced.

Although Li Xiangqian's mood calmed down a little, he was still shrouded in a layer of anger and disappointment that was difficult to dissipate. However, he did not give up, but continued his daily life with greater vigilance.
