Restarting life in Siheyuan

Seeing that Sha Zhu's house had been turned into a mess with things scattered everywhere, although there was no unexpected gain, Xu Damao still felt a sense of pleasure after venting.

"Old lady, take care of yourself, but we have to take your grandson with us. He has to lead the way to the capitalist's lair."

The anger has been vented, and that's it. There's no point in continuing to struggle. Xu Damao waved his hand, and a group of people went to kidnap people. Sha Zhu struggled desperately.

"You are a man who doesn't do his job, but you want to confiscate my house and kidnap people. You want to kidnap my grandson, but you have to kidnap me first. Come on, come on."

The old lady stepped forward tremblingly, facing Xu Damao, raised her cane and was about to swing it down, but she was too weak and was grabbed by Guo San. Xu Damao just watched without taking any action, and spoke with a smile, but this smile always looked sinister in people's eyes.

"Old lady, we are responding to the call to fight against all kinds of evil spirits. You should take care of yourself and don't get hurt by anger."

"Guo San, let me go. I'm going with you!"

Seeing Guo San grabbing the old lady's walking stick, Sha Zhu panicked and gave up resisting, allowing the men to tie him up.

More and more people gathered in the compound, many of them pointing and talking, but facing more than 20 strong men, no one dared to take action. Sha Zhu saw it all, and he knew that it was not everyone's fault for not helping, but the fault of that bad boy Xu Damao. He must find an opportunity to deal with him.

With the support of Yi Zhonghai, the old lady staggered towards Sha Zhu. Xu Damao saw that the old lady was still making trouble and looked at him with contempt, and he was even more furious. But when he saw Sha Zhu's furious look, he smiled again.

"Old lady, please don't be so anxious. We are arresting him to find the capitalists' lair. But, Silly Zhu, don't think that you can escape the revolution of the masses just by getting a divorce. You are definitely trying to find a way to get rid of me. No way. Take him away!"

Others don't know where Mr. Lou lives, but he knows it very well. After suffering so much injustice from the Lou family, he finally has a chance to settle the score. How can he miss such a good opportunity? Xu Damao has been looking forward to this day for a long time. Besides, Lou Xiao'e, who humiliated him, should be hiding at home. This humiliation must be returned in front of Sha Zhu, as well as the Lou family's wealth.

When Zhu Xuefeng got the news and rushed to the Lou family's small courtyard, except for the smashed door that silently told of the disaster just now, Xu Damao and his gang had already left. From time to time, a few women were sneaking around in the courtyard carrying some small household items, going in and out with their heads down in the dark. When they saw a strange young man standing at the door, they hugged him and slipped away without saying a word.

All the valuables in this small building have been sent away, and no one is taking care of the compound. The yard was already messy, and now it is even more unsightly. Zhu Xuefeng did not go in, but looked at the broken door lock, shook his head and left.

I really didn't expect that Xu Damao was so excited as if he had been injected with chicken blood. In a short period of time, he took people to make trouble everywhere. It seemed that he had found a backer and was a little unscrupulous. And the brothers of the Guo family who had been dealt with by him were really restless. Zhu Xuefeng planned to find another opportunity to talk to them.

In the compound, the lights were on in Sha Zhu's house. Zhu Xuefeng was helping him apply medicine. The cotton swab was wiping the wound on his forehead. Sha Zhu gasped in pain and cursed angrily.

"Xu Damao is such a bastard, damn it, this bastard is so successful, ouch..."

"Bear with it. It's easy to get infected if you don't disinfect in the hot summer. Just bear with it for a few more days." Zhu Xuefeng did not stop. After hearing what Sha Zhu said, he led people to break into the Lou family yard. When he saw that the door of the yard was locked, Xu Damao realized that something was wrong, but he still asked people to break the door open and break in. Sha Zhu just stayed in the yard with a smile.

Xu Damao, who had nothing in his hands, went through a lot of trouble. When he asked Sha Zhu, Sha Zhu naturally knew nothing. Sha Zhu suffered a loss at the hands of Guo Laosan again. Although Xu Damao was unwilling to accept this, he still threw Sha Zhu away in a rage and left with his men.

"I went to see, the house is ruined." Zhu Xuefeng shook his head. This group of people must have come for the Lou family's wealth, but in the end they got nothing. They destroyed all the windows of the entire building, leaving no intact glass. If it is not repaired and maintained, this kind of house will be ruined in a few years. It's a pity.

"It's ruined, it's useless anyway."

Sha Zhu didn't feel sad. In his mind, no one could rely on this yard, so it would be better to destroy it. Thinking of Xu Damao and Guo Laosan, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in Sha Zhu's eyes.

"Brother, it's done, take a look."

The door was suddenly pushed open, and He Yushui came out from the inner room holding a short-sleeved shirt. Sha Zhu's coarse cloth jacket was torn. He Yushui also hurried back after hearing the news. Seeing Zhu Xuefeng helping his brother clean the external wound, he went to the inner room and walked around with a needle.

Sha Zhu picked it up and looked at it, and couldn't help but praise, "My sister is really skillful. You can't even see such a big cut after you did it."

"What can't I see? Don't embarrass me by making me look like a centipede. Brother, just make do with what you wear. When this month's cloth coupons come in, I'll help you change into another one."

He Yushui was not satisfied with the result. According to her idea, it would be more appropriate to embroider a pattern on the mark. But now her family was being watched, and she did not dare to prepare dresses for her brother and sister-in-law as she did before, as it might bring trouble.

Sha Zhu glanced at his sister's hand and said, "I was so careless and got pricked again."

He Yushui didn't take it seriously. He squeezed his fingers and wiped off the blood.

"It's no big deal, brother. The food is ready. You and Xiaofeng can have a bite. I've already finished eating at work."

Sha Zhu hummed, and Zhu Xuefeng quickly said, "I won't eat here, there are people waiting."

Sha Zhu and his sister didn't try to persuade him much. Zhu Xuefeng saw that Sha Zhu still wanted to drink some wine, so he gave him a reminder.

"Don't drink until your wound heals in the next two days."

Sha Zhu put down the bottle sullenly. "Well, drinking alone is boring, so I won't drink anymore."

While He Yushui was tidying up the room and putting the tables, chairs, and small items back in place, he asked, "Xiao Feng, is my brother's injury okay?"

Zhu Xuefeng also put away the medicine and said, "It's nothing, just some scratches. As long as they are disinfected, don't get them wet today and tomorrow. They will heal tomorrow and will be fine in a few days."

"By the way, why don't you go to Qin Huairu's house and borrow their sewing machine? That would be great so you don't get your hands pricked."

He Yushui shook her head. "With her evil mother-in-law here, I won't go and ask for trouble. If only her sister was here, I could give it a try."

Zhu Xuefeng smiled. This Jia Zhang family was also a weirdo. Anyone who wanted to borrow their sewing machine had to pay a few cents. As a result, all the favors Qin Huairu had made in the past were gone. Basically no one in the yard paid attention to their family. Only now that Qin Jingru came again for some reason, the situation seemed to have improved. This little girl, like her sister, was quite good at getting along with neighbors.

Zhu Xuefeng didn't stay at Sha Zhu's house for long. He went home and had a brief chat with Lao Si to learn about the situation in the factory. Then he sighed and returned to the compound. Lin Yilan was still waiting for him to come back for dinner.

"Xiao Lan, if the joint defense team raids your house, can you get the news in advance?"

In the courtyard, Zhu Xuefeng and Lin Yilan had finished dinner. Lin Yilan shook her head as she cleaned up the dishes. "We don't know what they are doing, but they may let something slip from time to time."

"Pay more attention. If they want to do something to Lao Yang someday, tell me."

Judging from Xu Damao's current state of affairs, he is likely to cause trouble for Lao Yang again. I don't know whether the Guo brothers took my warnings seriously. After more than half a year, they may have forgotten about it.

"Brother, there's no need to go to so much trouble. We need to know the news, so we should raid Director Yang's house first and take him to the Security Department. We will organize a struggle session, haha."

Zhu Xuefeng also laughed, "Your idea is good. Let them catch nothing. You have a good brain."

Lin Yilan smiled and shook her head, "Brother, this method was not thought up by me, but by our Director Ma. However, we haven't had the chance to try it yet."

It seems that Lao Ma is also a wonderful person. He practices non-violent non-cooperation while secretly protecting Lao Yang. I just don’t know how long Lao Ma can stay in this position.

This trend is now getting more and more serious in Beijing. Zhu Xuefeng knows that it is like this everywhere, especially in Peking University. The last time he secretly went to see Professor Zheng, he heard that when night falls, the Muming Lake, where students used to gather to discuss ideals and make friends through literature, has become a dangerous place. No one dares to talk loudly here at night anymore.

There was a noise in the front yard, and a figure sneaked into the yard. Old Xie behind closed the door again.

"Why are you here?" Zhu Xuefeng went to greet him. The man was Qian Chuanzi, who had not been to the compound for a long time. It was Zhu Xuefeng who went to find him every time.

"Brother Feng, as you requested, I have already bought a lot of ancient books and kept them at home. But now the situation is very tense, and my grandfather asked you to take them away when you have time. If you keep them any longer, they will all be gone if something goes wrong."

Zhu Xuefeng frowned. He asked Qian Chuanzi to secretly purchase some copied ancient books, calligraphy and paintings to prevent them from being burned. The effect was quite good. People would not burn these things, which they would not value or would otherwise burn, if they could be exchanged for money. With Qian Chuanzi's grandfather helping to identify them, he was able to find some.

"Someone is targeting your house?"

Qian Chuanzi wiped the sweat off his forehead and took the tea handed to him by Lin Yilan, "Thank you, sister." Lin Yilan just smiled and then left.

"It's hard to say. After all, my grandfather used to do this and was quite famous in the underworld. Seeing that several of his colleagues had suffered, he asked me to come here quickly."

"Okay, I'll go there in a while and get them all." Zhu Xuefeng went back to the study and came out with an extra small pocket.

"Here is some cash. We will collect it later. If you can't keep it at home, just send it over and give it to the two old men."

Qian Chuanzi was stunned. How much would it cost for so much money? Those ancient books and paintings, which were not well-known among the confiscators, were sold to him at only one or two cents each. His grandfather took a lot of effort to select them.

"You want to collect antiques and pornographic goods, don't you? I don't want these. If you have no place to put them, you can keep them here with me."

Qian Chuanzi was overjoyed. He didn't know what this Brother Feng was thinking. He didn't want the more valuable antiques and gold, but only wanted ancient books and paintings. If he used this money to buy antiques, how much would he charge? But he used Brother Feng's money to collect it and count it as his own. This didn't make sense.

Zhu Xuefeng didn't take it seriously. He didn't care who got these antiques and gold as long as they were not destroyed. But if he didn't take these ancient books and paintings, they would probably be burned, and these treasures passed down by their ancestors would be truly gone.

"Brother Feng, this can't be done. You paid the money, so it's yours. I was just helping to run errands. It's not appropriate for me to take it." Although Qian Chuanzi was happy, he still shook his head. The rule passed down by their ancestors was to take what you should take and not touch what you shouldn't take.

"Stop talking nonsense, come on, follow me to the study..."

...

A few days later, one afternoon, before all units had finished get off work and Zhu Xuefeng had time to find Xu Damao, he did not expect that Xu Damao would find him.

Zhu Xuefeng, who was drawing a blueprint at home, heard a commotion at the gate of the yard and unexpectedly discovered that a group of people were surrounding his yard. At the entrance of the alley not far away, more and more people who came to watch the fun were also gathering around.

Nearly thirty people blocked the gate and kept banging on the courtyard door, yelling and shouting, but the two old men refused to open the door.

"Open the door, it's okay." Zhu Xuefeng came to the outer courtyard and saw two old men guarding the gate tightly, and spoke.

"Boss, it's obvious that these people have bad intentions." Old man Zhang Qing said while leaning against the gate. The material of the gate is solid, and he is confident that he can guard the gate as long as no one outside uses an axe to chop it.

"Open it, they can't make any waves."

Seeing Zhu Xuefeng so calm, the two old men hesitated and finally opened the door. They all knew that Zhu Xuefeng and his fellow disciples were very good at martial arts, but now he was the only one in the yard, and there were more than twenty young men outside. They wondered if the boss was being a little too arrogant.

The bolt was pulled out and the gate was suddenly opened. The two young men were about to knock the door with their shoulders, but they were tripped by the threshold and rolled in.

Looking at Xu Damao hiding in the crowd, he did not see the people from the Guo family. These young men in front of him seemed to be from the streets. A few of them looked familiar. They seemed to be members of the joint defense team of the Drama Academy. This Xu Damao is very capable.

"I don't know who you are. What are you doing here, breaking into our yard in broad daylight? Who is the leader? Come out and tell us what you are doing."

Zhu Xuefeng stood at the gate of the courtyard, looking calm and composed, which surprised the twenty-odd people there.

"Get out of the way quickly, don't you see this?" The young man in front pulled his red headband arrogantly, as if it was an imperial sword, with a look of arrogance on his face.

"Which unit are you from? It seems that this red hoop of yours has no effect on me." Zhu Xuefeng said with a smile, but did not move away. He recognized that this man was a member of the joint defense team of the Drama Academy. He had met him two years ago because of his younger sister's matter. Logically, he should focus on his own little piece of land.

"Stop talking nonsense. We have received a report that you are a representative of the cultural bourgeoisie who has infiltrated the masses. You are trying to hide from the revolution and hide among the masses in our street."

"Whoever reported it, please come forward and speak out." (End of this chapter)
