Siheyuan: Tathagata's Palm suppresses the entire courtyard!

Hearing this, Xu Mingjie and Jia Dongxu looked at each other with serious expressions. They all knew that although He Yushui had a gentle personality, he would never back down once he encountered injustice. The two old carpenters immediately followed the young man and hurried to the place where the quarrel took place.

Walking to the entrance of the alley, Xu Mingjie saw several young people arguing with a man in the middle. The man in the middle was his son He Yushui. Facing several young people fighting and making noise, he looked a little embarrassed but firm.

"Don't think you're so great just because you have some little skills. Why are you so arrogant?!" a young man shouted without restraint, and it seemed that he wanted to continue.

He Yushui faced them with a calm but firm expression: "I just want to help you fix the furniture, why are you doing this?"

Xu Mingjie stepped forward and said sternly, "Stop!"

When the young people heard Xu Mingjie's voice, they stopped and looked at the old carpenters with dissatisfaction. But they did not dare to act rashly, after all, there were two skilled old carpenters standing in front of them, and their reputations were well-known in the alley.

"Master Jia, Master Xu, these guys are blind and always looking for trouble." The young man said angrily.

Jia Dongxu looked at the young men coldly, his eyes full of majesty: "Young men, do you know what you are doing? The people in this alley support each other. This is not a place for you to fight and make trouble like this."

The young people were intimidated by the old carpenters' momentum, and looked at He Yushui, lowering their heads in embarrassment. Perhaps they were just impulsive and did not expect it to turn out like this.

He Yushui took a deep breath and said calmly, "I hope everyone can understand each other in the future and not fight over trivial matters."

Seeing that the atmosphere had eased slightly, Xu Mingjie and Jia Dongxu exchanged a look, knowing that now was not the time to continue arguing. They turned back to the courtyard, leaving the young people to reflect quietly.

Back in the yard, Xu Mingjie and Jia Dongxu sat on a bench, while Yu Shui stood aside, still feeling a little nervous and afraid. The quiet night in the yard seemed particularly peaceful.

"Yushui, what happened to you? Why did you fight with them?" Xu Mingjie asked with concern.

Yu Shui lowered her head and said awkwardly, "Dad, those guys have always looked down on us furniture repairmen, saying that we are old-fashioned and not as fashionable as them. I have endured it for a long time, and today they said some excessive words again, and I can no longer bear it..."

Jia Dongxu patted Yu Shui's shoulder and said, "Young man, you have to learn to be patient sometimes. Carpentry is not just a skill, it is also a state of mind. No matter what others say, we just need to do our own thing and wait for the opportunity."

Yushui nodded and looked at the two old carpenters with gratitude. He understood that as a craftsman, he must have enough patience and confidence and not be swayed by the eyes of the outside world.

The night in the yard became darker and darker, with stars twinkling in the sky. Xu Mingjie and Jia Dongxu continued to exchange their thoughts and experiences on woodworking skills, while Yu Shui listened beside them, and her love and persistence for this traditional craft became deeper.

As the night deepened, the dim lights in the courtyard reflected the quiet atmosphere in the yard. Xu Mingjie and Jia Dongxu sat on a bench in the yard, talking about the exquisiteness of woodworking skills, while Yu Shui listened quietly, and his love for the craft became stronger and stronger.

Suddenly, the gate was gently pushed open again, and the neighbor Qin Huairu came in. She was a widow in the alley. Although her family was poor, she was kind-hearted and had a good relationship with the people in the courtyard.

"Mingjie, Dongxu, sorry to bother you, I have something to say." Qin Huairu said with some embarrassment.

Xu Mingjie and Jia Dongxu looked at her, both slightly stunned, knowing that she must have something to ask them.

"What's wrong, Sister Ru? Just tell me if you have anything to say." Xu Mingjie asked with concern.

Qin Huairu bit her lip and said with difficulty: "It's about... Master Dongxu's loan sharking."

When Jia Dongxu heard this, his face changed and he was a little stunned, then he showed an expression of disbelief.

"Loan sharking? How is that possible?" Xu Mingjie looked at Jia Dongxu and felt shocked and confused.

Qin Huairu sighed and said, "I didn't want to get involved in this matter, but considering our long-term friendship, I really can't stand it. A few days ago, I heard Yuzhu tell my son that he wanted to borrow some money from Master Dongxu for emergency, but Master Dongxu charged him a lot of interest."

Hearing this, Xu Mingjie and Jia Dongxu fell silent. Jia Dongxu's face turned pale. He wanted to explain something, but he couldn't say a word.

Xu Mingjie pondered for a moment, and finally said: "Sister Ru, we have to figure out your matter. Lending money at high interest rates is wrong."

When Jia Dongxu heard what Xu Mingjie said, he suddenly stood up, his voice a little excited: "Mingjie, I'm not that kind of person! This must be a misunderstanding, I have never done such a thing!"

Xu Mingjie looked at Jia Dongxu, took a deep breath, and said seriously: "Dongxu, we have been brothers for so many years, I will not easily doubt you. But we can't take what Sister Ru said lightly. This matter must be thoroughly investigated."

The atmosphere in the yard fell into a moment of tension and silence. Xu Mingjie pondered how to find out the truth, while Jia Dongxu clarified in his heart that he had never done such a shameful thing.

Yu Shui stood aside, watching the two old carpenters silently. He knew that the friendship between his father and Master Jia was deep, but he also understood Sister Ru's worries and concerns. As a new force in the family, he hoped that the dispute could be resolved as soon as possible to restore peace and harmony in the courtyard.

At this moment, the gate was gently pushed open again, and the young Yu Zhui came in. Seeing so many people in the yard, he stood at the door awkwardly.

"Yuzhui, you're here." Qin Huairu saw her son and hurried forward.

Yu Zhu looked at everyone present nervously, and finally his eyes stopped on Jia Dongxu. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "It was me...I misunderstood. I...I didn't mean it."

After hearing this, Jia Dongxu's expression changed slightly and he asked, "Yuzhu, what misunderstanding did you say?"

Yu Zhu lowered his head, not knowing how to explain for a moment. But with his mother's encouragement, he finally told the whole story: "Actually...actually, I had some urgent matters and needed to borrow money. I borrowed some from Master Dong Xu before, and he did help me. But later, due to some things, I was unable to pay it back on time, so the interest was...a little higher."
