Siheyuan: All the birds want to die, I enjoy happiness

Hearing Su Xingchen's words, Yi Zhonghai's smiling face immediately darkened. "Chenzi, I am your elder, how can you disrespect me like this?" At this time, people from the middle courtyard also came to the front yard busily. Seeing that no one had come to her house, Jia Zhang also followed the crowd to the front yard.

"Fuck the elders, have you given me too much face? You also said that neighbors should help each other. What's wrong with you? When my father disappeared and you couldn't wait to drive us out, why didn't I see you talking about neighbors helping each other for so many years? He Jia Dongxu is your apprentice, not mine. What's wrong? You want to find someone to take care of you in your old age and you have to rely on others for help? I ~tui, and you threatened my mother. Go ahead, go to the street office and tell him. I must see if you, an old thing, can still stand like you do now." After Su Xingchen finished speaking, he punched the tree stump used for chopping firewood at the door of his house, and it broke into four or five pieces in an instant. Everyone looked at Su Xingchen's punch with astonishment on their faces. After this punch, wouldn't it take ten days or half a month to get up? I thought to my family not to offend Su Xingchen, because if he was upset, he would be half dead. He Yuzhu was also stunned. He always thought that he was the strongest in the courtyard and had no rivals in the courtyard. Now it seemed that he was overthinking. No wonder his father told him not to offend Chenzi and secretly vowed to have a good relationship with Su Xingchen. Yi Zhonghai was also sweating profusely at this moment. He regretted that he had just spoken arrogantly. He thought to himself, when did Su Xingchen become so strong? What would happen if he hit him?

Jia Zhang just came from the middle courtyard and didn't see this scene. She walked over and said, "Old Yi, Sha Zhu, go take Dongxu to the hospital, haven't you found him yet?" Turning around, she saw Su Xingchen standing at the door and said, "Chenzi, Aunt Jia was wrong before, but since Dongxu's leg was injured today, please forgive him. We are neighbors, please help him, it's not easy for us orphans and widows." After saying this, Jia Zhang symbolically squeezed two tears.

That's not right. How come this Jia Zhangshi is different from what is written in other novels? But that didn't affect Su Xingchen's rejection of her. "Aunt Jia, you want to ask me for help now. When you teamed up with Yi Zhonghai to drive me and my mother out, why didn't you think about the fact that we are also orphans and widows? How dare you ask me for help now? I think you should find another job. Be careful that Brother Dongxu becomes a cripple." Su Xingchen smiled contemptuously. The neighbors who were watching the fun also whispered, yes, we are all orphans and widows. You teamed up to bully them back then, and you still asked them for help. You are really shameless. You are worthy of being Jia Zhangshi.

After hearing what Su Xingchen said, Jia Zhang stopped pretending and said, "Su, I've given you face. You're a jerk with a mother but no father. I've apologized to you but you still don't know what's good for you. You even dared to curse Dongxu to be a cripple. You don't want to live anymore. Damn it, who knows if your father ran off with some slutty vixen..."

After hearing what Jia Zhang said, Su Xingchen was about to take action, but he saw his mother who was standing by the door went up and slapped Jia Zhang in the face, "Hey, what's wrong, Jia Zhang, did you eat too much shit today? Or is your brain damaged? You ran to my doorstep and acted wild?" After saying that, she stretched the knife in her hand towards Jia Zhang. Jia Zhang was so scared that she didn't dare to say a word. She covered her face and hid behind Yi Zhonghai.

"Mother of Chen Zi, calm down. Jia Zhang was also very anxious because Dong Xu broke his leg. So, I apologize to you. She was wrong. Besides, you also beat her, so we are even. Then we will take Dong Xu to the hospital first. Silly Zhu, pull the cart and go."

"Hey, here I come." Sha Zhu said and followed Yi Zhonghai. When Jia Zhang saw Yi Zhonghai leaving, she glared at Su Xingchen and Liu Lihua fiercely, and hurriedly caught up with Yi Zhonghai, fearing that Liu Lihua would chase her with a knife.

Seeing that there was nothing exciting to watch, the people in the courtyard dispersed and went home to prepare for lunch. Su Xingchen also went home with Liu Lihua.

"Okay, son, you now know how to scare the tiger with a show of force. From now on, no one in this yard can bully us mother and me." Liu Lihua said while cooking.

"You are the same, women are as good as men. I think this slap will teach Jia Zhang a lesson. Mom, can you cook? I will go fishing after dinner. Let's improve our lives."

Su Xingchen smelled it and it seemed to smell like meat, so he said, "Mom, did you roast the meat?"

"You little brat, come and have dinner." Liu Lihua said.

"Mom, why are you buying meat suddenly?" Su Xingchen asked curiously.

"Chenzi, now that you're older, I won't hide it from you anymore. In fact, a lot of our family's money is used to help others," said Liu Lihua.

"Ah? Why? Isn't our family so difficult? Where would we get the money to give to others?" Su Xingchen was full of confusion.

"You also know that your father and I are retired from the army, but some of our comrades-in-arms did not retire. Your father and I would see which families were having a hard time, and we would always send them some money and food. Even though your father passed away later, I would still give them something. I have always kept our family situation a secret from them, and I don't know how they found out. Now they all know that our family is not easy, and they are unwilling to take anything. So, I thought that it was time for you to recuperate, so I bought some meat for us to eat." Liu Lihua explained to Su Xingchen.

"I was wondering, how could taking medicine make our family broke so quickly? No more talking, mom, eat quickly, I haven't eaten the meat you cooked for a long time." Su Xingchen smiled and stretched out his chopsticks to pick up the meat. As for his parents' comrades-in-arms, when he has enough ability, he will also try his best to lend a hand.

Middle Court, Jia Family

Jia Dongxu was still lying on the ground groaning in pain. Although it was winter, he was already sweating profusely from the pain. Qin Huairu was beside him wiping his sweat.

"Zhu Zi, let's carry Dong Xu up, Jia Zhangshi, you go and spread the quilt quickly." Yi Zhonghai said in the command.

"Hey, Qin Huairu, you bastard, go quickly and hold the stick for me. If it weren't for you, would Dongxu have fallen so badly? You jinx." Jia Zhang kept cursing and nagging, but refused to help.

After Qin Huairu had spread the quilt, Yi Zhonghai and He Yuzhu were going to lift Jia Dongxu together. "Silly Zhu, let's lift him slowly, don't let Dongxu's legs get hurt again." Yi Zhonghai said to He Yuzhu.

(Jia Dongxu: What were you doing earlier? I’m almost dying of pain after being in so much pain for so long)

"Uncle. It's not easy for the two of us to lift him like this. It's easy to hurt Brother Dongxu again. Why don't we call someone else?" He Yuzhu said.

Yi Zhonghai thought for a moment and said, "Well, Shazhu, go to the front yard and tell Uncle San to give him fifty cents to help carry Dongxu."

"Okay, I'll go now." After listening, He Yuzhu turned around and went to the front yard.

"Third uncle, first uncle said that if you help lift Brother Dongxu onto the cart, I will give you fifty cents. Do you want to go? If not, I will find someone else." He Yuzhu said as he lifted the door curtain of Yan Bugui.

"Go, go, don't look for anyone else, I'll go now." After saying this, Yan Bugui walked to the backyard before He Yuzhu.

Su Xingchen, who stood up to serve his meal, happened to see He Yuzhu. He put down his bowl and chopsticks, walked out the door and called He Yuzhu who was about to enter the middle courtyard. "Brother Zhuzi, I have a suggestion for you. When you go to the hospital later, I will ask you to pay. If you believe me, either you send the person back quickly, or you give me the money and I will give it to you when you come back. Besides, with Jia Zhang's temper, don't you think he will blackmail you?"

"Hey, you're right, it's true. But it's okay. I changed my clothes today and didn't bring any money. I'll run away as soon as I'm sent to the hospital." He Yuzhu smiled.

"Okay, then you go ahead. I'll go back to eat." After saying that, Su Xingchen turned around and went home to eat.
