Siheyuan: How the Little People Live

"Brother, do you really want to do this? After all, I am your biological brother, and he is even more your biological sister."

Grandpa Zhang Youheng's face turned even darker. He looked at his eldest brother Zhang Yourong in front of him. Hearing that his eldest brother Zhang Yourong did not help him, he really could not bear it anymore and began to question his eldest brother.

"Ugh!"

The eldest brother Zhang Yourong sighed heavily and looked at his aging younger brother Zhang Youheng in front of him with some complicated feelings.

"Youheng, it's not that I won't help you. If you had come here last night and asked me to help you with a more sincere attitude, as long as you were sincere enough, I would have helped you to ask the secretary, and there would be a chance to make amends. But now..."

"Ugh!"

Zhang Yourong sighed heavily again, glanced in the direction of Ye Wenwu and the others, and walked towards Ye Wenwu.

There is no need to say more after that. Those who understand will understand, and those who don’t understand will never understand, no matter how you explain it to them.

"Wenwu, what are your plans for this matter?"

Ye Wenwu and his uncles were already waiting for his great grandfather to come over. When he heard his great grandfather's question, Ye Wenwu said happily:

"Just now Zhang Youheng refused to acknowledge me as his grandson. I don't have any concerns. Since we are no longer a family, there is no need for me to cover for them. Let the village do whatever it wants. Anyway, the money should be returned and they should accept the punishment."

Uncle Zhang Liguo opened his mouth hesitantly, but still didn't feel comfortable saying what was in his mind.

Great grandfather Zhang Yourong looked at Ye Wenwu deeply, and then glanced at his younger brother Zhang Youheng who was standing in a daze behind him. He did not expect that his younger brother Zhang Youheng would be so stupid.

It has come to this point, but he still doesn't talk nicely. Instead, he provokes others and wants to sever the relationship.

There is also the relationship between the grandparents, so they just don't consider the external factors. When the village leaders were dealing with this matter, they also saw that there were some family conflicts, so the punishment might be lighter.

But Ye Wenwu has now made things clear that he has nothing to do with Zhang Youheng and his wife, so it would be inappropriate for them to tie him to a family conflict in order to reduce the punishment.

"Establishing a country and an army, you two should not participate, and don't go when the time comes. Since Wenwu has nothing to do with this matter, just let Wenwu take full responsibility when the time comes."

Zhang Yourong naturally knew what Ye Wenwu meant by this, and he quickly instructed his two nephews beside him, fearing that they might cause trouble.

"Uncle, but..."

Uncle Zhang Liguo didn't want to put the blame on Ye Wenwu alone. Originally, this matter was not Ye Wenwu's fault. It was their family's business. Now dragging Ye Wenwu into it, it was a bit unfair to Ye Wenwu.

Now hearing that his uncle was actually putting the blame on Ye Wenwu, he felt a little embarrassed.

"This one is your father, this one is your mother, and this one is your brother. What can you do? Are you going to do what the ancients did to kill your relatives for the sake of justice? If you really did that, you wouldn't be able to hold your head up in Zhangjiazhuang or the surrounding villages. Who wouldn't point fingers at you and poke your spine when they see you?"

"Besides, they don't care whose fault it is. They only care that the son sued his father. This is against Tian Gang."

Uncle Zhang Youcha was still relatively sober. He knew that this matter was difficult to handle, but if it was thrown to an outsider like Ye Wenwu, it would be much easier to handle.

Uncle Zhang Liguo opened his mouth and said, yes, one is his biological father, one is his biological mother, and one is his biological brother. It is not easy to deal with any of them. He can't really sacrifice his relatives for the sake of justice, not to mention that he would not sacrifice his relatives for the sake of justice.

"Okay, don't think about it, but tomorrow you two are not allowed to go. No one in the family is allowed to go. Only Ye Wenwu can go."

Uncle Zhang Yourong left in a hurry after saying this. He still had things to do and couldn't let these trivial matters affect the operation of the village.

"Uncle, second uncle, what Grandpa said is right. I am the best solution to this problem. If you go alone, it will become a fight between father and son, which will be bad for the village and even worse for getting the money back. You won't get any compensation at all, and you will be criticized by the villagers."

Ye Wenwu supported his great-grandfather's idea very much. Fortunately, his eldest uncle and second uncle were also sensible and knew that the nature of the situation would change if they got involved, so they could only go back with a sigh.

. . . . . .

The village square was already crowded with most people in the morning.

His grandmother Liu Xiaocui was also brought out. Her face was pale and haggard, and she was a little dazed, as if she had been tortured.

Grandpa Zhang Heng felt very distressed when he saw his wife being beaten like this. He rushed forward and hugged his wife Liu Xiaocui, staring fiercely at the two people who had just brought Liu Xiaocui up.

"Youheng, so many people in the village are watching this. We have reached a unified statement in this matter. You have damaged Ye Wenwu's timber worth nearly 600 yuan, as well as his labor and food for so many days. Our punishment for you and your wife is to compensate Ye Wenwu 650 yuan and give him the most sincere apology."

Everyone in the village is one family, and everyone has a few relatives in the village office. They had already known the conditions of the punishment, but they were still a little surprised when they heard it.

Ye Wenwu and his grandfather Zhang Youheng had already been greeted last night.

The main thing is that the commune above said that this matter should not be made public. It should be solved as soon as possible. If it cannot be solved, it should be reported directly to the higher authorities. After all, the investigation team will be here soon.

Regarding this pressure, Zhang Youheng had no choice but to agree. After all, his wife was so old, she would not be sent to jail for several years or be shot, not to mention that his young son was involved.

In front of the whole village, Ye Wenwu accepted the 650 yuan handed over by Zhang Youheng and bowed deeply. He felt that the breath he had been holding in his heart was much smoother.
