Siheyuan: A Family of Loyal and Brave People

"You collect so much money, don't other neighbors have any objections?

Won't you talk to Shazhu about it together?"

Yan Jiecheng was still somewhat unwilling to accept this. He had just been hit a few times by He Yuzhu today and he was in a depressed mood. He really needed a delicious meal to soothe his wounded heart.

"Of course other neighbors have no objection, because they only have to pay 50 cents.

I am the only one who has to pay two dollars.”

It would have been fine if he didn't say anything, but when it comes to the gift money, Yan Bugui gets so angry that his teeth hurt.

"Why, why should our family be treated specially? Isn't he targeting our family?

No, we have to go talk to the old man and let him judge for us."

The four children shouted indignantly.

"Oh, you actually count on Yi Zhonghai? Too naive.

Yi Zhonghai was enjoying his meal so he had no time to care about us.

He will only stand on He Yuzhu's side and will never help us."

Yan Bugui just kept sighing and didn't mention at all his attempt to sneak in and eat for free.

"Then go find the Second Uncle.

If the second uncle can't do it, he will report it to the street office.

If the street office can't handle it, then continue to appeal to higher authorities. But I can't handle it. In such a big city, there's not even anyone to judge the situation."

Yan Jiecheng clenched his fists and encouraged him, "This is not just a matter of a meal, but a matter of our family's dignity. We should fight for our dignity instead of bread. If we don't teach Sha Zhu a lesson, he will know how powerful we are."

The neighbors in the yard thought we were easy to bully.”

"That's right, I've been annoyed with Shazhu for a long time.

He's just a stinky cook, what's so great about him? He just walks around the yard with a lunch box in his hand all day long and shows off.

He is proud of taking advantage of the public?"

Yan Jiefang couldn't help gritting his teeth when talking about the lunch boxes.

In the entire courtyard, He Yuzhu's family has the best food, while Yan Bugui's family has the worst food.

Comparing the best with the worst, the children of the Yan family naturally felt jealous and resentful towards He Yuzhu.

"That sounds nice, but what can you do to him?"

Yan Bugui looked at the four dancing children and found it ridiculous.

No matter how much trouble they make, they can't hurt He Yuzhu at all, and they are just asking for trouble.

"Let Shazhu see our will!"

After Yan Jiecheng finished speaking, he waved and called out to those behind him, "Pick up your bowl and follow me!"

The four children rushed to the cupboard, each picked up an empty bowl and walked out.

"You four little bastards, what are you going to do? Don't break the bowl, or I'll beat you up."

Yan Bugui was about to stop them when he saw this, but the four children took the lead and rushed out separately.

……

The He family's full-moon banquet was in full swing. With the end of the bathing and changing ceremony, He Feng changed his clothes to welcome the guests' blessings.

After completing the process, He Yuzhu announced the start of the banquet without any further ado.

Dishes were served on the table one by one, and the guests who had been waiting for a long time couldn't wait to pick up their chopsticks and enjoy the sumptuous dishes.

For a moment, the sound of chopsticks was like rain, mixed with the sound of people urging others to drink, forming a lively melody.

He Yuzhu, who was in the middle, was in a good mood. He accepted all the toasts from his fellow guests and drank one glass of wine after another. Soon his cheeks turned red.

All I can say is that He Yuzhu has indeed developed a good drinking capacity in the army, and he was able to handle such a situation with ease.

In the past, after a few rounds of drinking, I would probably pass out before I could even eat a few bites of food.

Both the host and the guests were having a great time and everyone was enjoying the meal, but they didn't notice that a few uninvited guests had quietly approached the outskirts of the venue.

The children of the Yan family, each holding an empty bowl, came directly to a table. Without saying a word, they just squatted on the ground, looking at the guests who were eating with eager and longing eyes.

"Yan Jiecheng, what are you doing here?"

Yan Jiecheng and the others are not fools, so they naturally won’t target people they don’t know.

The people at the table in front of him were all neighbors in the courtyard, and the one who asked the questions was Liu Haizhong, who had drunk a few glasses of wine and was obviously a little tipsy.

"The courtyard belongs to everyone. As a member of the courtyard, can't I stay here?"

Yan Jiecheng took a deep breath, smelled the fragrance that was wafting over, and said while swallowing his saliva.

Liu Haizhong licked his lips and asked unkindly, "Where's your dad? Where did your dad go? Why doesn't he come over? Go and call your dad over."

Liu Haizhong certainly didn't want to have a heart-to-heart talk with Yan Bugui, he just wanted to find an excuse to get the four children away.

Although the three of Yan Jiecheng were not noisy, they were squatting there with empty bowls in their hands, like beggars, which really affected their appetite.

Liu Haizhong wished he could get them out immediately.

"Uncle, my dad can't come.

He is ill.

Yan Jiecheng didn't seem to understand what Liu Haizhong meant, and just stated calmly.

"Are you sick? Weren't you fine just now?

Why did Old Yan suddenly fall ill? "

Yi Zhonghai, who sat at the same table, asked in confusion.

“Heart disease, my father has a heart disease.

He was targeted and was in a bad mood, so he didn't come."

Yan Jiecheng continued to talk.

More and more ridiculous words attracted more people to look at it.

"He is the head of our hospital, who can target him?

Stop talking nonsense and go call him over here. Stop standing there in a daze."

Liu Haizhong said impatiently.

He didn't care what was wrong with Yan Bugui. He just wanted to enjoy the feast and didn't want to be disturbed.

"Silly Zhu, Silly Zhu is targeting my dad.

He forced my father to pay two yuan as a share of the money, and would not let him come to the banquet if he didn't pay.

Uncle, uncle, please give us some advice.

We are neighbors in the same courtyard. Isn't it too much for Shazhu to treat us differently? "

Yan Jiecheng spoke to himself, with a hint of anger in his voice.

Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong looked at each other and were slightly stunned.

Then Liu Haizhong suddenly laughed.

“It is only natural to pay a share of money when eating at a banquet.

Your father can't afford the membership fee, so why should Sha Zhu let him in to the banquet?

Besides, considering the shit your dad did, it's not too much for Shazhu to ask him to pay more."

When He Yuzhu turned around and came back, he had already told the neighbors in the yard about the matter, and took the lead in occupying the high ground of public opinion.

Yan Bugui wanted to have the banquet without spending a penny by relying on his neighbor's reputation.

When this news spread, the neighbors in the courtyard all sneered at Yan Bugui.

The banquet prepared by He Yuzhu was so solid, and the other neighbors had all paid the money honestly, but Yan Bugui still wanted to be clever. He was really shameless.

If it were someone else, they would probably give Yan Bugui a severe lesson.

"what?!"

The four children exclaimed and looked at each other.

Yan Bugui did not tell them the specific reason why they had to pay more.

I didn't expect that it was Yan Bugui who broke the rules first and caused such trouble.

Having lost their moral high ground, Yan Jiecheng and the other three felt as if they had fallen into an icy cave. They felt that their behavior was like that of clowns and was extremely ridiculous.

"Okay, let's go back quickly.

Don't disturb everyone's feast."

Seeing that the truth was revealed, Liu Haizhong no longer concealed it. He directly reprimanded several people and ordered them to leave immediately.
