Siheyuan: Starting with one acre and three fen of land

After staying at the Yi family for a while, He Yuzhu walked out of the house and left the place for the few people who were chatting animatedly.

He sat on the lintel, staring at the familiar courtyard in front of him, and his whole body became calm.

Thinking back to Jia Zhang's abnormal behavior just now, He Yuzhu frowned, hoping that things were not as he thought.

He stood up and strode towards the backyard.

Crossing the aisle, his eyes fell on the second aunt who was busy in the backyard.

She was concentrating on dusting the quilt cover. The clothes hanging in the yard swayed gently in the wind, blocking the view of the back room.

The second aunt heard the noise and looked up to see He Yuzhu approaching. She had a puzzled expression on her face and asked hesitantly, "You are... You are He Yuzhu from the Central Court?"

He Yuzhu rarely interacts with others in the yard on weekdays. Second Aunt takes care of the children in the backyard and doesn't interact with him much.

In addition, she had been away for three years this time, so her memory of He Yuzhu was a little vague.

"Hello, Second Auntie! It's me! I just came back to see how my master's house is doing."

He Yuzhu put on a formal smile and spoke politely.

After hearing this, the second aunt turned around and glanced at the back room, a hint of confusion flashed in her eyes.

She turned around and looked at He Yuzhu, and said vaguely: "Zhuzi, I'm glad you're back. Go and look at the house first! We'll talk later."

"Okay! Then you go ahead and get busy." He Yuzhu nodded with a smile and handed her a few candies.

The second aunt took the candy, thanked him, and watched He Yuzhu leave, with an inexplicable emotion in her eyes.

She put down her work, stuffed the candy into her pocket, and stared at the back room to see if there was anything interesting to see.

When he got closer, He Yuzhu found that the door of the back room was not locked, but closed from the inside.

His face darkened, he walked quickly to the door and slammed it, making a deafening noise.

When the second aunt saw this, she knew that something good was going to happen, and she secretly thought it was a pity that the head of the family was not here.

She changed her mind, turned around and trotted towards the aisle, ready to call someone over.

He Yuzhu continued to bang on the door, shouting angrily, "Jia Zhang, get out right now! If you have the ability to pick the lock, don't hide in there and keep silent!"

As he slapped and shouted, the door shook violently and the dust on the door frame fell off.

This action immediately caused a commotion in the entire yard, and the noise soon attracted the residents in the backyard.

The new residents did not know He Yuzhu, and they were whispering to each other about the sudden situation.

Today is a working day and the men in charge of the household are out working.

These residents did not dare to step forward to stop him easily. It was obvious that He Yuzhu was not someone who could be easily messed with, and it would be too unprofitable to get hurt.

The deaf old lady stood aside, silently observing the scene in front of her, and instantly understood what was happening.

She had no intention of stepping out to dissuade him, but a gleam of light flashed in her eyes.

Xu Damao was quite smart. He guessed most of the situation after just a glance.

He walked through the crowd, approached, and exclaimed in amazement: "Isn't this my brother Zhuzi? He just came back and he's making such a big fuss."

He Yuzhu turned around and looked at Xu Damao, who had a signature long face, a sly smile on his face, and his eyes were wandering.

"Da Mao, what? You want to intervene?"

Xu Damao thought about the strength with which he knocked on the door just now. He didn't think that He Yuzhu was weaker than before.

He subconsciously took a step back and waved his hands repeatedly to show his innocence: "No, I have no relationship with the Jia family, don't think too much!"

He Yuzhu curled his lips and waved his hand: "Get lost!"

"Okay! I'll just watch from the side!" Xu Damao tactfully took a few steps back and blended back into the crowd.

He was there to watch the fun, so he looked around and hurriedly ran to the central courtyard.

After driving Xu Damao away, He Yuzhu crossed his arms over his chest, stopped knocking on the door, and shouted into the house, "Jia Zhang, please come out and explain it to me quickly. Don't force me to do it!"

Not long after, Yan Bugui and the second aunt hurriedly crossed the aisle and stepped into the backyard.

"Make way! Everyone, make way! I am the third uncle in the yard." Yan Bugui shouted while pushing through the crowd and finally squeezed to the front.

Yan Bugui walked to the door. On the way there, he had thought about everything and realized that he had been fooled by Jia Zhangshi and Yi Zhonghai.

He couldn't help but let out a bitter smile and looked at He Yuzhu: "Zhuzi, I really didn't get involved in this matter. How do you think we can solve it?"

He Yuzhu did not respond immediately. His eyes swept through the crowd of onlookers and finally fell on Chen Xueru and the other two.

Tong Juan held Duo'er in her arms, her face full of anger, and she was obviously on He Yuzhu's side.

Wang Yayan's face showed anger at this moment. She took on the job of looking after the house out of good intentions, but she didn't expect to cause such a big trouble. How would others view her?

When she thought about the fact that she was taking care of a house but her apprentice's mother occupied someone else's house, she was so angry that she trembled all over. Chen Xueru supported her by her side.

What made her even more suspicious was Yi Zhonghai. When Jia Zhang came to talk about it, Yi Zhonghai assured her that there was no problem.

Wang Yayan covered her chest with her hands, feeling a palpitation in her heart.

He Yuzhu turned to look at Yan Bugui and said calmly, "Teacher Yan, I know this matter has nothing to do with you. Please open the door and we can talk."

Seeing that he looked calm, Yan Bugui knew that this matter could become a big deal, so he put on a bitter face and began to persuade Jia Zhang to open the door.

He Yuzhu took a look, turned around and walked to Chen Xueru.

Seeing that Wang Yayan looked pale, he reached out to feel her pulse and confirmed that she was just angry and nothing serious was wrong.

He Yuzhu gently consoled her: "Auntie Wang, this is not your fault, don't take it too seriously. Sit down and rest for a while."

After saying that, he turned to Chen Xueru and said, "Xueru, help Aunt Wang to sit down somewhere with fewer people and get some fresh air."

"Auntie Wang, let's go this way." Chen Xueru nodded and helped her walk to the side.

Tong Juan saw them walking away, and her face was full of anger: "This Jia Zhang is so bold that she actually sent a fake telegram saying that you agreed to rent the house to her."

"It's no big deal, it's just that this matter is too disgusting." He Yuzhu chuckled and teased Duo'er in her arms.

As soon as she finished speaking, Qin Huairu hurried into the backyard holding the stick.

She was wearing a well-cut summer dress and looked even more charming than she had been five years ago.

As if she felt He Yuzhu's gaze, she looked up.

When she saw He Yuzhu, she quickly walked over to greet him: "Brother Zhuzi, I'm so sorry! There must be a misunderstanding here. I'll go ask my mother to come out and explain it clearly!"

After saying that, she turned and ran to the door, began knocking hard, and loudly persuaded Jia Zhang inside.

After a long while, He Yuzhu saw no sign of the door opening, so he waved and called Peng Hongwu.

"Brother Zhuzi!" Peng Hongwu ran over happily with candy in his mouth.

He Yuzhu nodded and said softly, "Xiao Wu, ride my bike to the street office to find Director Wang. Do you understand?"

Peng Hongwu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he patted his chest excitedly, "Okay! Brother Zhuzi, don't worry."

He Yuzhu smiled and threw the car keys to him.

Peng Hongwu took the key and ran to the central courtyard.
