Siheyuan: I am the Smart Pillar

Wang Weiguo wiped the rain off his face, panted and nodded, saying, "Okay, Zhuzi, thank you for your help." He Yuzhu took a shovel and went to the courtyard to call for help. He almost broke his voice in the courtyard, but no one came out. This made He Yuzhu very angry! What is the mentality of these neighbors? Do they think it's none of their business and just ignore it?

Rushing to the door of Liu Haizhong's house in the backyard, He Yuzhu knocked on the door. It was his second aunt Wu Cuihua who opened the door. He Yuzhu wiped the rain off his face and said to the second aunt, "Several houses in the yard next door have collapsed. There are not enough rescue workers. Second aunt, please ask your children and second uncle to help."

Wu Cuihua smiled awkwardly and said, "Oh, Zhuzi, your uncle just fell ill and can't go." He Yuzhu said, "Wasn't he fine in the evening?" He Yuzhu seemed to understand something suddenly, and said with a dark face, "Aunt, what's the situation? The neighbor in the next yard has something wrong, and our yard should also help."

He Yuzhu knew that Liu Haizhong had had some quarrels with Wang Weiguo, an old man in the next yard, but he didn't expect that Liu Haizhong would not help. Wu Cuihua smiled awkwardly and said, "Oh, Zhuzi, you can't say that. Your second uncle is really sick. Go find someone else to help."

After that, he closed the door. No matter how hard He Yuzhu knocked, there was no sound from inside the house. This made He Yuzhu very angry. At this time, Xu Damao from the opposite house also came out wearing a straw raincoat. Xu Damao also had a shovel in his hand and said, "Let's go, Zhuzi, let's go and save people together."

He Yuzhu nodded. He really didn't expect that the villain who was scolded by everyone in the original book could set such an example at a critical moment. He Yuzhu pulled Xu Damao out of the backyard and went straight to the front yard. Wu Cuihua, who was by the window, watched He Yuzhu and the other man leave, and said to Liu Haizhong, who was sitting next to him, with a worried look on her face, "Hey, Lao Liu, can you not show up for today's incident?"

Liu Haizhong snorted coldly and said, "It's raining so hard outside. What should I do if something happens? It's better to have a good sleep at home. Don't you know the principle of not getting involved in things that don't concern you? Besides, the old man Wang in the yard next door didn't give me face in the first place, so why should I care about him?"

Wu Cuihua sighed and said, "Oh, this happened many years ago, how come you still remember it?" The matter that the second aunt was talking about was nothing more than Wang Weiguo's refusal to say a good word to the old director of the steel mill before liberation so that the old director would promote Liu Haizhong.

Liu Haizhong's fat face was full of anger, and he cursed with gritted teeth, "That damn Wang Weiguo, if he had said a good word before liberation, I, Liu Haizhong, would definitely have become an official. It was much easier to be an official back then than it is now. Why bother with such trivial matters? Old woman, go to the kitchen and make me a bowl of ginger soup. It's cold enough tonight."

At the front yard of Yan Fugui's house, Yan Fugui pushed his glasses on his nose, revealed a calculating look and said, "Hey Damao Zhuzi, look at your uncle, I am so small and delicate. It's raining so hard outside. If I get wet, I will definitely get sick. Can you two have pity on me and don't call me. There are still many young people in the courtyard?"

He Yuzhu looked at Yan Fugui speechlessly and said, "Third Uncle, you are really amazing. You even said the words 'delicate body' just because you don't want to go out to help. OK, OK, if you don't want to go, then your sons should also come out to help."

Yan Fugui didn't want his sons to help. If they really caught a cold, wouldn't it be Yan Fugui who would have to pay for it? Xu Damao, who was standing next to him, pulled He Yuzhu and said with an ugly look on his face, "Zhuzi, let's go. Don't worry about these people. They don't even have a bit of love."

He Yuzhu looked at Yan Fugui fiercely, and felt that what Yan Fugui did was really abominable. He and Xu Damao ran out of the courtyard and joined the rescue and relief activities in the next courtyard. Yan Fugui pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose. It didn't matter to him whether others died or not. If their family's interests were lost a little, Yan Fugui would definitely collapse!

The three sons in the room looked at their father. Yan Jiecheng frowned and said anxiously, "Dad, if we really do this, is it okay? After all, we are neighbors. How about I take a shovel and go out to help?"

Yan Jiecheng felt that his father's idea was a bit wrong. After all, they were neighbors. Yan Fugui pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose and said, "Where are you going, you little bastard? Can't you see that it's raining so hard outside? If something unexpected happens, I will have to pay for your medical treatment. Let's just pretend that we know nothing. Eat when we should eat and sleep when we should sleep."

Yu Li, who was sitting next to him, curled her lips and looked at her father-in-law with great contempt. Her father-in-law was said to be an elementary school teacher? He was not even a bit better than He Yuzhu and Xu Damao. Her man was even more of a loser. How fucking abominable!

The residents of No. 94 compound next door are much poorer than those of No. 94 compound. The houses are also in disrepair, and it is obvious that three more houses have collapsed. Wang Weiguo wiped the rain off his face, sighed and said, "Oh my God, don't you give us a way to live?"

In the house that had just collapsed, the people dug out a body. It was Li Quezi who was crushed to death by the beam. Li Quezi had no children in his life, and no one expected that he would end up like this in his later years. The people around who were trying to rescue him sighed.

He Yuzhu wiped off the rain and said to Wang Weiguo beside him, "Hey, uncle, it seems that today's incident should not be underestimated. This kind of thing happened in your No. 94 compound. I believe that other compounds have also had their houses damaged by rain to some extent."

Wang Weiguo was about to say something when Sun Weiguo, the director of the subdistrict office, came over with a group of people wearing raincoats. Sun Weiguo saw He Yuzhu next to him. The two greeted each other first, and then Sun Weiguo asked directly, "Zhuzi, how are you doing here?"
