Siheyuan: A Family of Loyal and Brave People

Liu Haizhong once again demonstrated what it means to shoot oneself in the foot.

Looking at the empty courtyard in an instant and Jia Zhang's face full of resentment, Liu Haizhong pursed his lips and prepared to run away.

Whoever wants to meddle in Jia Zhang's affairs can do so, but Liu Haizhong definitely doesn't want to do so.

"Liu Haizhong, where should I sleep tonight?"

Before Liu Haizhong could move, Jia Zhang's faint voice suddenly came from the side.

Liu Haizhong froze on the spot, he ran too slowly and was caught.

But Jia Zhang's attention was clearly focused on the house and Sister Luo just now, so how did she suddenly wake up?

"Um~ this~"

Liu Haizhong took a deep breath and stammered for a long time without saying anything.

He really didn't know where to settle Jia Zhang.

It definitely wouldn't work at home. There were four people living in the Liu family's house, which was already crowded. If Jia Zhang got mixed in, the smell in the middle of summer would be horrible.

But other neighbors are unwilling to take me in, what can I do?

"This is a task given to you by everyone in the hospital. You don't want to shirk it, do you?"

Jia Zhang pressed forward step by step, not giving Liu Haizhong a chance to dodge.

After being away for a year and suffering so much, Jia Zhang's mental state was indeed problematic, but she was not stupid.

Returning to the old city again, with no one to rely on, the most important thing for Jia Zhang at the moment is to find a place to settle down.

It would be best if you could get your own house back, but if you can't, just rely on your neighbors and try to get as much benefit as possible.

Otherwise, given her condition, she would probably have to continue begging for food.

"It's hot now, it's actually cooler to sleep outside, or..."

Judging from Jia Zhang's appearance, she probably had to sleep outdoors many times. Liu Haizhong thought that it would be enough to find a vacant space in the yard and put some miscellaneous items there to accommodate her.

"Since it's so cool sleeping outside, why don't you and your family sleep outside?"

Jia Zhang is not so easy to fool.

If she sleeps in the open air like a beggar tonight, the neighbors will be so aggressive that they will kick her out of the yard tomorrow.

Sleeping in the open air in the yard or sleeping in the open air outside the yard is the same.

"Some of my family members have caught a cold recently. They are afraid of the cold and cannot sleep outside."

Liu Haizhong made up an excuse to get away with it.

Jia Zhang was not happy when she heard this and said, "I have also caught a cold outside these few days. How can you let me sleep outside?"

After saying this, Jia Zhang went straight to the backyard without waiting for Liu Haizhong to refute.

"Hey, wait a minute..."

Liu Haizhong hurriedly chased after him.

Inside the He family's house in the central courtyard, He Yuzhu and his wife witnessed the whole process through the window with gloomy expressions.

Today is He Yuzhu's birthday, which should have been a happy day, but unexpectedly Jia Zhang came back suddenly and caused trouble in the courtyard, ruining their fun.

Fortunately, He Yuzhu and his wife were not nosy people and did not get involved. They avoided the smelly Jia Zhang and were not smelled by her.

Otherwise the delicious food you eat in the evening will be wasted.

"Now that Jia Zhang is back, I'm afraid there will be no peace in the courtyard."

Qin Huairu gently stroked her bulging belly with a melancholy look on her face.

“Let them make noise.

Let's just live our lives behind closed doors and ignore them."

After He Yuzhu finished speaking, he changed his mind and continued to ask, "By the way, Huairu, will the Street Office have any trouble with the Jia family's house?"

Given Jia Zhang's temper, the matter would be reported to the Street Office sooner or later, and Qin Huairu, who worked in the Street Office, would inevitably be involved.

"Don't worry about that, I've already inquired about it.

The Jia family’s house was handled in accordance with regulations and the street office did not make any mistakes.

Even if Jia Zhang makes more noise, it won’t cause any waves.”

After working in the subdistrict office for a period of time, Qin Huairu gained a certain understanding of things within the system.

If Jia Zhang wants to make use of the house to make trouble, she will definitely not get any benefit.

……

After being forced to take on the task of settling Jia Zhang, Liu Haizhong became extremely worried.

Jia Zhang had already arrived in front of Liu's house.

There was no other way, Liu Haizhong could only ask his wife to get a basin and fetch water for her to wash herself, to remove some dirt on her body and to delay some time.

Jia Zhang, who hadn't taken a bath for a long time, felt uncomfortable all over. Naturally, she would not refuse Liu Haizhong's kindness. She took the basin of water to the faucet in the backyard and fetched water to wash herself.

While Jia Zhang was washing herself, Liu Haizhong returned to the central courtyard to look for Yi Zhonghai.

No matter what, Liu Haizhong could not accept Jia Zhang's residence as a guest in his home, and he had to find a way to get rid of her.

"Old Yi, come out quickly!"

Hearing the call from Liu Haizhong, Yi Zhonghai did not open the door, but answered through the wall: "It's late, let's talk about it tomorrow."

Seeing Yi Zhonghai acting like a rogue, Liu Hai was furious and said angrily, "Yi Zhonghai, we are all the managers of the courtyard, and I can't shoulder the responsibility of Jia Zhang alone.

If you don't come out, I'll bring her to your house tomorrow to block the door and see what you can do!"

If Liu Haizhong is having a hard time, then no one else will have an easy time either. In the worst case scenario, we’ll all be doomed together.

Feeling the determination in Liu Hai's voice, Yi Zhonghai had no choice but to open the door to greet him.

"Uncle, I'm just staying at your house for one night. What's the big deal?

Just send it to the street office as soon as tomorrow morning.

Maybe the neighborhood office will know that you care about your neighbors and give you a banner."

Liu Haizhong ignored Yi Zhonghai's high-sounding words and sneered, "It sounds good, but why don't you let her live in your house? There are four people in my family, and the place is crowded. There are two people in your family, so adding one more person won't be a big deal, right?"

"Everyone has agreed. It would be too much trouble to ask Jia Zhang to move to another place."

Yi Zhonghai waved his hand to refuse.

He was so busy hiding from Jia Zhang that how could he let her into the house?

“I don’t care, my house is too full to accommodate her overnight.

She must be given somewhere else to sleep.”

Liu Haizhong's attitude was very firm and tough, leaving no room for negotiation.

“You know the situation in the hospital, where can you arrange her?

If you can get her out, I can pretend I didn't see it."

Yi Zhonghai just said one thing: no matter what, that’s all.

“Isn’t Cheng Hao’s house empty?

Let Jia Zhang stay there for one night."

Liu Haizhong pointed at the Cheng family's ancestral home and said lightly.

"You are crazy!"

Yi Zhonghai's expression suddenly changed, and he lowered his voice and said seriously: "If Cheng Hao finds out, you will be in big trouble. Besides, we don't have the key to the room, so we can't open the door. You'd better forget it."

Liu Haizhong is really out of his mind. He actually set his sights on Cheng Hao. He is simply courting death.

"You don't need a key to open the door. Besides, it's just one night. As long as you don't tell anyone and I don't tell anyone, it won't be fine if Cheng Hao doesn't know."

Liu Haizhong was desperate and tried every possible means to prevent the invasion of Jia Zhang, and he ignored everything else.

"Confused!

How can you keep such a big thing secret? I advise you not to have any ideas about Cheng Hao anymore, otherwise... hum..."

Yi Zhonghai shook his head, his eyes full of warning.

It's okay for Liu Haizhong to commit suicide, but don't try to drag him down with you.

Once Cheng Hao gets angry, the three managers in the courtyard will suffer.

Just as Liu Haizhong was about to say something, Liu Guangtian came running over from the backyard, and before he could catch his breath, he said in a hurry: "Dad, it's bad, Jia Zhang has squeezed into the house."
