Siheyuan: The wife pays off the husband's debt, Huairu's mentality collapses

Su Mu's words were calm and clear, and every word seemed to be well thought out.

He spoke slowly, looking at Director Wang firmly, while not avoiding He Yuzhu's provocative gaze.

"Director Wang, the facts are not as He Yuzhu said."

Su Mu's voice was steady, revealing a sincerity that could not be ignored.

"That day, at the steel mill, I did have a conversation with Director Yang about the food."

"My comments are not directed at anyone, but are made out of my serious attitude towards work and my concern for everyone's health."

"When I said 'it's OK, but a little off', I was giving honest advice based on the freshness of the ingredients and the pairing of the dishes. I didn't mean to sow discord."

He paused for a moment, turned his gaze to He Yuzhu, and continued:

"As for He Yuzhu's reaction, it was beyond my expectation. Instead of accepting my opinion, he suddenly became furious and verbally attacked me.'

"It even went up to insults against my family. I tried to stay calm, but when he touched my bottom line, I couldn't tolerate it anymore."

Su Mu took a deep breath and tried to keep himself calm.

"I understand that everyone has their own emotions and positions, but the way to solve problems should not be violence or insults."

“I hope we can handle our differences with more maturity and rationality.”

Director Wang's brows gradually relaxed as he listened to Su Mu's statement.

She knew very well that Su Mu was an upright person and worked conscientiously and responsibly.

She was more inclined to believe what he said.

So she turned to look at He Yuzhu, with a bit more severity in her eyes.

"He Yuzhu, do you have anything else to say?" Director Wang's voice was not loud, but full of majesty.

"As a member of the Siheyuan, you should know that what we advocate is unity and harmony, not mutual attacks and violent solutions to problems."

He Yuzhu was left speechless by Director Wang's questioning.

I originally thought that with my qualifications and influence in the courtyard, I could easily push the responsibility to Su Mu/

But now it seems that things are not that simple.

He hesitated for a while, and finally lowered his head and muttered softly:

"I...I was also impulsive."

Director Wang saw this and had already made up her mind. She said to the two of them sternly:

"No matter what the reason, hitting someone is unacceptable behavior."

"He Yuzhu, you need to apologize to Su Mu and promise not to make similar mistakes again in the future."

"Sumu, although you are fighting back in self-defense, you must also be careful about the method and approach to avoid escalating the situation."

After that, Director Wang looked at the neighbors around him and said earnestly, "We all live in the same yard. We'll see each other sooner or later. If you have any conflicts, sit down and talk it out. Don't resort to violence at every turn."

“Harmony among neighbors is the most valuable asset of our courtyard.”

When He Yuzhu heard Director Wang's decision, his face turned pale and blue, and he was obviously not satisfied with the result.

He forced a smile, his eyes moving between Director Wang and Su Mu.

Finally, he fixed his gaze on Su Mu, and said in a low and slightly reluctant voice:

"Sumu, I...I apologize to you. I was impulsive just now. I said things I shouldn't have said and did things I shouldn't have done."

However, there was a clear lack of sincerity in the apology.

It seems more like something that has to be done in order to cope with the current situation.

There was still resentment and resentment in his eyes, as if this apology was a humiliation to him.

Su Mu heard this and a faint smile appeared on his face.

That smile contained both mockery of He Yuzhu's hypocritical attitude and affirmation of Director Wang's fair judgment.

He shook his head gently, looked directly into He Yuzhu's eyes, and spoke in a calm tone with a force that could not be ignored:

"How come your apology is not even sincere?"

"It seems that you didn't really take Director Wang's words to heart, and you didn't realize how serious your mistake was."

As soon as these words came out, the air around them seemed to freeze.

Director Wang's expression suddenly turned ugly. She frowned and glared at He Yuzhu, obviously very dissatisfied with his attitude.

He Yuzhu was shocked when he saw this, and he quickly explained: "Director Wang, please don't misunderstand me. I... I really know I was wrong. It's just that I was asked to apologize so suddenly, and I... It's a little hard to accept it for a while."

"I promise that I will correct it in the future and never make such a mistake again."

As he spoke, he secretly observed Director Wang's reaction, hoping to save some face by saying this.

However, Director Wang's eyes told him that such an explanation would not satisfy her.

Director Wang sighed and said earnestly: "He Yuzhu, He Yuzhu, as a member of the Siheyuan, you should lead by example and set a good example for everyone."

"Instead of making a big fuss over a small matter like today. I hope you can truly reflect on your behavior, sincerely apologize to Su Mu, and truly turn over a new leaf in the future."

He Yuzhu felt unwilling when he heard this, but he also knew that arguing further would be of no use.

He could only cast a complicated look at Su Mu again, and then barely squeezed out a sentence: "Su Mu, I'm sorry, I really know I was wrong."

This time, although his voice was still low, it was more sincere than before.

Seeing this, Su Mu nodded slightly, as if accepting his apology.

Director Wang saw that the atmosphere between the two had not completely eased.

But at least on the surface, a temporary reconciliation was reached, so he nodded and decided to leave first to let the two of them calm down on their own.

As she walked, she said to the crowd:

"Okay, everyone, go home and have some rest. If you have anything to say, talk it over and don't get physical."

After saying that, she turned and left the scene, leaving Su Mu and He Yuzhu standing opposite each other.

As soon as Director Wang's back disappeared around the corner, He Yuzhu's face instantly turned gloomy.

He stared at Su Mu, his voice low but full of threats: "Su Mu, don't think that today's matter is over! Let's wait and see how I deal with you in the future!"

Upon hearing this, Su Mu simply sneered lightly, his smile full of disdain and indifference, as if He Yuzhu's threat was nothing but wind in his ears.

"He Yuzhu, if you really have the ability, just come here openly and honestly. Don't always play tricks like these to trip me up behind my back." His tone was calm, but every word was like a needle, hitting He Yuzhu's sore spot.

He Yuzhu was completely enraged by Su Mu's indifferent attitude.

He clenched his fists and his chest heaved violently, obviously trying hard to control his anger.

"You...just wait and see!" He said gritting his teeth, then turned around and left angrily.

Su Mu was left standing there alone, his back looking particularly lonely and determined.

Seeing this, the neighbors around shook their heads and sighed, and went back to their houses.
