Siheyuan: How the Little People Live

While Ye Wenwu was talking, he had already ridden his bicycle to the gate of Hongxing Courtyard.

"Let the rain come down. It has already reached the entrance of the courtyard."

After Ye Wenwu finished speaking, he helped He Yushui down.

At this time, He Yushui was extremely conflicted. He hated his father, his brother, his uncle, his aunt, and the deaf old lady.

But she is a lonely little girl at heart. All her fantasies are just thoughts in her mind. She is a little reluctant to take actual action.

He Yushui grabbed Ye Wenwu's sleeve tightly. He said eagerly:

"Brother Wenwu, what do you think I should do about this? I was thinking that I would move out after I graduate, and then I would find a good family to marry into and never return to Siheyuan."

"But I am so conflicted inside now. I don't know what to do. I am a little scared. I am afraid that this is all fake. I am even more afraid of facing the bloody truth."

Ye Wenwu shook his head. He understood He Yushui's thoughts.

He Yushui grew up in the home of his uncle and aunt, but in Ye Wenwu's childhood memory, He Yushui was always that little follower. Given the conditions of his uncle and aunt's family, He Yushui was in a miserable state at that time.

You have to know that when they were playing together as children, Sha Zhu had a very new piece of clothes, while the clothes on He Yushui were all those that Sha Zhu had thrown away and patched up. He had never seen He Yushui wear new clothes.

Moreover, among all the people in our compound, there is no one of the same age who is thinner than He Yushui.

Maybe it's because he was abused since childhood, so he feels a little scared when he thinks about meeting these people.

"Yushui, you've grown up now. You're no longer the Yushui who hid behind your brother. Sometimes you should stand up for yourself, otherwise everyone will think you're easy to bully."

"It's not that I'm trying to drive a wedge between you two siblings. As your older brother, I feel that Sha Zhu hasn't fulfilled his responsibilities as an older brother."

"Maybe at the beginning, but with the different treatment, your relationship has actually reached the edge. Just like you said just now, you want to slowly leave the courtyard by yourself and never come back."

"In fact, if you leave like this, no one will care about you, and no one will remember you. When they are old one day and talk about you, they will say, 'Oh, there was a little slug follower who drank hot water,' and that's all the memory you have."

Looking at the house in the middle courtyard in front of him, Ye Wenwu knew that it would be a bit too much to say any more, after all, an old lady nearby had already come out.

"Okay, that's all I have to say. Think about it carefully. When your brother comes back in the evening, ask him. If he is ready to tell you about this, just pretend I didn't tell him. But if he doesn't tell you, then...

Ye Wenwu did not say the rest, but He Yushui knew what it meant.

My brother didn't even tell me about it, which means that I have no status in his heart. Since my brother doesn't recognize me as his biological sister, why should I recognize him as his biological brother?

"Okay, Brother Wenwu, thank you."

"Rainwater, what's wrong with you?"

An old lady saw Ye Wenwu bringing He Yushui back, and that He Yushui had some difficulty walking, so she thought something had happened and hurried over.

"Auntie is fine. I was just riding my bike too fast. I didn't see her when I came out to drink hot water and bumped into her. She was given ointment at the hospital. I thought Yushui's mother hadn't been back to see her brother for a long time, so I sent her back."

"Auntie, please take care of Yu Shui. I have something else to do here. I'll come and see you after I finish my work."

After saying that, Ye Wenwu waved his hand and walked out. The mud on the car was still waiting for him to take away.

After Ye Wenwu left, He Yushui also limped towards his room.

The auntie hurried over to support He Yushui. The house where He Yushui lived was just connected to the auntie's house, but He Yushui's house was closer to Shazhu's side.

"Why are you trying so hard to be so stubborn? You didn't even come back to visit after such a long time."

The aunt knew that Heshui had been a strong-willed child since childhood, and had suffered a lot of grievances since childhood, and he also had a brother like Shazhu.

Unfortunately, there are some things that she can't help with just because she wants to, and she can only help behind the scenes.

He Yushui lowered his head silently.

"I didn't want to come back, but Brother Wenwu forced me to come back."

"Kid, this is your home. If you don't come back, where will you live? You can't never come back!"

Home, what a strange word.

So when did He Yushui have a home? In the past, when he came home, his brother would always make some delicious braised pork, stewed pork elbow, stewed chicken soup, and even the meat and vegetables brought back from the factory were given to him first.

But now that I'm back, I still eat steamed bread with pickles.

Obviously their family is very wealthy, so why do they live a life that even ordinary families in the compound cannot afford?

But all this money belongs to my brother, and I have no right to say anything. After all, I am also relying on my brother for my food.

Only this small room is her warm haven.

"Okay, this Ye Wenwu is really something. Why did he ride so fast? He got such a big scar. Fortunately, it's only on his leg and not on his face. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to get married."

Auntie was mumbling to herself. Because her husband, Uncle Yi Zhonghai, had been constantly talking about Ye Wenwu in her ear, she began to dislike Ye Wenwu.

"Auntie, I'll just rest here for a while. Go back and do what you need. Don't worry about me. I'm already such a big person."

He Yushui felt annoyed when she saw an old lady muttering about Ye Wenwu in front of her.

"Okay then. I'll go back first. Call me if you need anything."

Seeing that He Yushui was already lying on the bed, and because she had just come out in a hurry, she thought something had happened. Since He Yushui said so, she did not stay any longer.

When He Yushui saw the old lady's back as she left, a trace of hatred flashed in his eyes.

When the two of them were abandoned by their father, their aunt wanted to adopt them as godsons and goddaughters, but their brother was unwilling at that time. However, their uncle Yi Zhonghai was also unwilling to accept a girl like himself as his goddaughter. After all, if Sha Zhu was accepted as his godson, the Yi family could continue the family line.

Because of this proposal, the old man hated himself even more.
