Siheyuan: I just want to live

After Chen Feng left, Aunt Han looked at the mess in the house, feeling grief-stricken, and finally couldn't help crying. The cry echoed in the courtyard, attracting the attention of the surrounding neighbors. Others heard the noise and gathered around.

Some people who didn't know the truth asked curiously, "What on earth is going on?" Another person replied, "What else could it be? Aunt Han spread rumors and was heard by Chen Feng. He smashed their house in a rage!"

Then, someone asked in confusion: "What about the Han father and son? Why didn't they stop Chen Feng?" "They went out early in the morning to repair the roof for their in-laws, and they haven't come back yet." Someone responded.

At this time, someone noticed something unusual: "Where are those three gentlemen? Why can't we see them?"

Someone immediately responded: "The third uncle went fishing, and the first and second uncles are working overtime in the factory!"

Everyone was talking about it when suddenly, Jia Zhang woke up from the floor in Han's house. At this time, everyone noticed that there was another person in the house.

After Jia Zhang woke up, she shook her head to try to wake herself up, and then began to look around, as if looking for Chen Feng. She shouted, "Where did that little bastard Chen Feng go?"

After looking around and not seeing Chen Feng, Jia Zhang got up in a panic and staggered towards her home.

When she ran to the door of her house, she was shocked by the scene in front of her - the house was in a mess, with things thrown everywhere. Jia Zhang's heart sank suddenly, her legs became weak, and she collapsed at the door and began to cry heartbreakingly.

"That damned little bastard Chen Feng! How dare he smash my house when my Dongxu was not at home!" Jia Zhang's voice was filled with grief, indignation and despair.

"Old Jia! Please open your eyes and take a look! Our family is almost being bullied to death!" She cried and called out to the air for her deceased husband.

"Old Jia! If you are still alive in heaven, please come up quickly and take that little beast Chen Feng away! How are we, an orphan and a widow, going to survive?" Jia Zhang became more and more sad as she spoke, and her tears burst out like a flood.

Before Qin Huairu got married, she often heard Jia Zhangshi calling her like this. But she never heard it again after she got married. Maybe she was so angry today that she called out the name of an orphan and a widow again.

At this time, the neighbors were also attracted by Jia Zhang's crying. Seeing the miserable state of the Jia family, they stopped to watch. Someone asked curiously, "Why is Jia Zhang the only one at home today? Where are Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu?"

At this time, someone interrupted and said, "Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu went back to Changping to visit his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and even brought Banggeng and Xiaodang with them."

Then, another voice sounded: "Where is Sha Zhu? Why is he not here today?"

Someone immediately responded: "Oh, Shazhu brought Yushui to organize a wedding banquet for someone else today."

"Then what should we do? Do we need to call Uncle and the others back?"

"Go ahead and call you. Anyway, I have other things to deal with. I'll excuse myself for now."

"I have something important to do, too. Sorry, I have to go first."

Not long after, the crowd that had gathered dispersed in twos and threes, leaving only the cries of Jia Zhang and Aunt Han echoing in the central courtyard.

It was not until the afternoon that the Han family father and son returned from their in-laws' place with their daughter-in-law and children. As soon as they entered the middle courtyard, they saw the Han family's aunt sitting at the door crying sadly.

The father and son rushed over, but when they reached the door, they saw a messy scene. The old man of the Han family widened his eyes and asked angrily, "Who did this?"

From his tone, one could clearly sense his inner anger. The daughter-in-law and son who fell behind helped Aunt Han up.

Han Lu (the son of the Han family) asked anxiously, "Mom, please tell me quickly! Who is the bastard who destroyed our house like this? And why did he do this?"

At this moment, Aunt Han stopped crying and replied in a trembling voice: "It was Chen Feng, that Chen Feng who did it! I was chatting with Jia Zhang and several other aunts in the yard at the time, but Chen Feng suddenly rushed over like a madman with an iron rod in his hand, and smashed our family and the Jia family to pieces without saying a word."

Han Lu was so angry when he heard this! He picked up half of the table leg from the room and rushed to the backyard to settle the score with Chen Feng.

At this moment, Uncle Han happened to see what Han Lu did. He was so anxious that he kicked Han Lu hard without thinking, and threw him to the ground.

Han Lu was a little dazed by the sudden kick. He rubbed his sore buttocks, looked at his father blankly, and asked puzzledly: "Dad, what are you doing? I'm going to the backyard to deal with Chen Feng, teach him a lesson, and smash his house to vent my anger! Why did you kick me instead?"

After hearing this, Uncle Han became even more furious. He widened his eyes and roared angrily: "Hmph, kicking you is not enough. I really want to beat you up!" After that, Uncle Han raised his hand as if to hit Han Lu.

Han Lu was so frightened when he saw this that he dodged and hid behind his wife. Uncle Han stopped what he was doing when he saw how scared his son was, but he was still angry.

Grandpa Han pointed at Han Lu who was hiding behind his daughter-in-law and cursed, "Are you stupid, you bastard! Didn't you see the signs hanging at the door of Chen Feng's house? You are capable of destroying his house? Why don't you go to heaven? Have you had enough of the good life and want to live a hard life behind the fence, right?"

Uncle Han took a breath and continued, "And! Didn't I hear your wife say the day before yesterday that Chen Feng came back yesterday wearing the uniform of the security department? Did you know that he brought back the gun?"

"What if he brings you back and you go looking for trouble with a stick and he shoots you? If something happens to you, how will our family survive?"

Han Lu hid behind his wife, trembling and not even daring to breathe. It was not until this moment that he realized that his behavior just now was indeed a bit too impulsive.

Uncle Han saw that Han Lu had stopped making radical moves, so he turned around and stared at Aunt Han with a sharp gaze. He asked sternly, "Tell me! What did you talk about with Jia Zhang today? If it was really a good thing, how could it lead to her destroying our two homes?"

Aunt Han was trembling all over when her husband questioned her so harshly. She immediately said, "Actually, we didn't talk about anything special. It was just that Jia Zhang said that Chen Feng and Sun Xiaojuan might have an unusual relationship, so Chen Feng agreed to let her live in his house."

"I didn't say much. I just responded with a few words. Who would have thought that Chen Feng would smash our house to pieces without saying a word." Aunt Han grumbled with a look of grievance.

After hearing the whole story, Uncle Han's blood pressure rose sharply and his face flushed with anger. He raised his shaking arms, pointed at Aunt Han, and shouted angrily, "You old woman! You hang out with that Jia Zhang all day long, either saying bad things about this family or gossiping about that family. Now you've finally caused big trouble! Look at what has happened to our house! Are you satisfied now?"

Han Lu quickly came over to support his father and asked anxiously, "Dad, what should we do now?"

Uncle Han looked at the mess in the room, sighed helplessly, and said, "What else can I do? I can only consider myself unlucky!" Then he turned to his daughter-in-law and instructed, "You and your mother-in-law clean up the house, and your husband and I will go buy some pots and pans." After that, he took Han Lu out of the house.

After her father-in-law and husband left, Han Lu's wife gently picked up the broom and began to clean the house carefully. Her movements were gentle and skillful, leaving no corner untouched. Seeing this, Aunt Han also hurried to help.

Not long after, the Han family father and son slowly returned to the gate of the courtyard, pulling a cart full of various items. They carefully unloaded the newly bought items one by one and placed them neatly.

After finishing, Grandpa Han patted his son on the shoulder and motioned him to return the cart. Han Lu nodded and turned to leave.

Uncle Han, carrying two canned fruits and a pack of cigarettes, walked steadily towards the backyard. When he arrived at the door of Chen Feng's house, his eyes fell on the open door, but he did not step in immediately.

He hesitated for a moment, then stood at the door and shouted loudly: "Is Chen Feng at home? I am the uncle of the Han family in the Central Courtyard. Are you at home? I have something to talk to you about!" His voice was loud and powerful, echoing in the air.

Chen Feng, who was concentrating on practicing calligraphy in the bedroom, suddenly heard a shout from outside the door. He stopped writing, looked up in confusion, then quickly stood up, walked briskly towards the bedroom door, and slowly opened it. Then, he walked across the room and walked to the center of the hall.

At this moment, his eyes fell on a person - he saw Uncle Han standing there with something in his hand.

Chen Feng walked slowly to the door with his hands behind his back, a smile on his face, and said softly: "Hey, Uncle Han! Are you here to cause trouble for me?"

Hearing this, Uncle Han couldn't help laughing, and he hurriedly explained: "Chen Feng, don't say that! I just learned that your Aunt Han said some unpleasant words today, and I have scolded her severely. So, I came here specially to apologize to you on her behalf!" After saying that, Uncle Han showed sincere apology on his face.

Chen Feng heard that he was not here to cause trouble, so he said, "Since you are not here to cause trouble to me, then come in and sit down!"

The old man of the Han family handed the things in his hand to Chen Feng, saying, "You must accept these things! I won't go in, I have some things to deal with at home first."

Seeing that he was sincere, Chen Feng took the thing.

When Uncle Han saw Chen Feng accept the things, he breathed a sigh of relief. This matter was over for the Han family. Then he said, "It's okay, I'll leave first. Chen Feng, you continue to be busy!"

After saying that, he turned and left. Chen Feng watched him walk out of the backyard, then he picked up his things and went back to the bedroom to continue practicing calligraphy.
