Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 702 Analysis
After dinner, He Yushui returned to Yard No. 95. As soon as he entered the gate, he heard a lot of noise in the middle yard, a mixture of shouting, crying, scolding, and of course laughter.

He Yushui walked into the central courtyard, and it suddenly fell silent. He Yushui was also stunned, but she didn't care. She lowered her head and walked towards her room. Just after taking two steps, she heard Liu Guangtian's mother Yang Yue'e rushing over and wanted to hit He Yushui. Sha Zhu, who was standing aside watching the fun, was quick-witted and rushed over with a stick.

Yang Yue'e was so frightened that she shrank back. Sha Zhu looked at Yang Yue'e with the stick in his hand and said, "What do you mean? Your son got hit with a stick, and you're taking it out on my sister?"

Yang Yue'e shouted: "It's all because of you, a money-loser, you..."

"Shut up. If you don't want to live here, just move out." Yi Zhonghai shouted at Yang Yue'e.

At this time, Li Cuilan came over with the deaf old lady. The deaf old lady glared at Yang Yue'e, and Yang Yue'e understood at once that they had reached an agreement in private. They wanted to see where He Yushui got the food, so they let a few boys take turns to follow He Yushui, but this was private and could not be said openly.

Liu Haizhong also understood and said quickly: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, Silly Zhu, this has nothing to do with you and your sister, you should go back quickly."

Sha Zhu raised his eyebrows, and like a rooster that had won a battle, he held his head high and went back to the house with his sister.

Yi Zhonghai turned his head and whispered, "Let's talk at my house."

Liu Haizhong, Yan Bugui and Liu San took their three children and went back to Yi Zhonghai's room with Yi Zhonghai. The deaf old lady and Li Cuilan also followed them.

After several people sat down, Yi Zhonghai looked at Liu Guangtian and Yan Jiecheng, who were bruised and swollen, and said, "I still don't understand what's going on. Is it a prank by the children, or is someone deliberately targeting the people who followed He Yushui? Why are you so panicked?"

At this time, Liu Dali, who was standing nearby, said in a trembling voice: "Uncle Yi, why don't we stop following him? This is too scary."

Yi Zhonghai thought for a moment and said, "It's okay. You can do it as usual tomorrow. We will protect you from behind."

Liu Dali looked at his father with pleading eyes and shouted, "Dad, I'm scared. I don't dare to go."

Liu San also wanted to back out and said, "Master, why don't we just forget it and not follow him? What if he just wants to be hungry and not eat?"

Liu Haizhong was unhappy and said, "Forget it? Grandma, then my son and Yan Jiecheng's plan to eat this meal was in vain?"

Yan Bugui also advised: "Da Li, you really have to go. We have to catch these people. Don't worry, we will find more people to follow you and protect you."

The deaf old lady also said to Liu Dali: "That's right, this is called the mantis stalks the cicada while the oriole is behind. Don't worry, madam promises that you will be fine."

After everyone persuaded him for a long time, Liu Dali gritted his teeth and stomped his feet and agreed. Liu Guangtian and Yan Jiecheng looked at each other, and the meaning was very clear, "Okay, there will be another wounded soldier tomorrow." He Yushui was not a fool. After what happened today, he knew that everything that happened must be related to Wang Zhan, so the next day, He Yushui did not go to Wang Zhan. After packing up in the morning, he went straight to school after leaving the courtyard. Liu Dali followed him all the way, and nothing happened.

The people who followed behind were also very confused, and they started discussing it when they returned to the courtyard. Now most of them were wondering whether the incident between Liu Guangtian and Yan Jiecheng was an accident.

At Yi Zhonghai's home, the deaf old lady and Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui were also discussing. This time, everyone saw that He Yushui did not have breakfast at all and went directly to school. The school did not provide breakfast, so they speculated that He Yushui just had a meal in the cafeteria at noon and no one helped her. If this was the case, there was no need to follow her anymore.

However, Liu Haizhong disagreed and said, "Then what about the beating my son received? We have to find that group of people anyway, and at least make them pay for the medical expenses, right?"

When Yan Bugui heard that he had to pay for the medical expenses, he agreed and said, "Yes, we have to catch the perpetrators anyway, otherwise our children would have been beaten in vain, wouldn't they?"

When Yi Zhonghai heard what the two people said, he turned to look at the deaf old lady. Unexpectedly, the deaf old lady had already stood up and walked towards the door. Yi Zhonghai knew what the old lady meant, and the old lady would not care about this matter.

Yi Zhonghai thought for a while and said, "Then let Liu Dali follow for two more days, and we will follow for two more days as well."

The next day, Liu Dali continued to follow He Yushui, but still nothing happened. It was the same for two days in a row.

Ever since Wang Zhan found out that He Yushui deliberately didn't come here to eat in the past few days, he knew that she was worried about causing trouble for Wang Zhan, so Wang Zhan prepared breakfast, lunch and dinner and brought them directly to school for He Yushui to eat at school, and she would also eat before going home in the evening.

Three days later, things finally quieted down in the courtyard. He Yushui then didn't go to Wang Zhan's house for two consecutive days. After she was sure that no one was following her, she resumed her previous habit of doing homework and eating at Wang Zhan's house before going home.

The most depressed people in the courtyard were Liu Guangtian and Yan Jiecheng. Not only did they get beaten for nothing, but they also didn't earn a penny. At that time, they were told that they would each be given 1,000 yuan after finding out He Yushui's secret. Now they have no money left, and their faces are bruised and swollen. They dare not even go to school.

In fact, the instigator of all this was the deaf old lady, but Wang Zhan still admired the old lady's eyes very much. They were really sharp. She could tell at a glance that He Yushui had gained weight, and she thought of finding someone who fed He Yushui. Being able to feed a stranger for a long time meant that there was no shortage of food. The current situation was that there was no market for food outside. Even if you went to buy it and paid a high price, you couldn't buy it. Most of the grains you bought occasionally were coarse grains.

That's why the deaf old lady wanted to find out the person behind He Yushui and extort food from him. When she told Yi Zhonghai about it, he agreed immediately. When Liu Haizhong, Yan Bugui and Liu San heard about the food to be divided, they hit it off immediately. It's a pity that they met Wang Zhan.

Wang Zhan was very suspicious. Was there such a shortage of food outside? On the first Sunday of May, he rode his tricycle with his sister to the main street of Mashi again.

After walking around for a long time, the brother and sister realized that food was really in short supply. Although there were many public and private grain stores, most of them could not collect food, resulting in most grain stores having no food to sell. Where was the food? Some of it was in the hands of grain merchants, who hoarded it for profit, but most of it was in the hands of farmers. After the land reform, farmers had the same idea as Wang Zhan, that is, as long as there was food at home, there would be no need to worry.

Wang Zhan came to the market just to look around. It didn't matter to him whether he could buy food or not. There was still plenty of food at home, enough to last for several years. Wang Zhan took Wang Li to the pig market again and bought some pork and mutton, as well as some seasonal vegetables. This time he bought a lot, put them in the car, and then went home.
