Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 728: Yan Family Blackmail
Wang Zhan was just about to get angry when Xiaowu said, "Teacher Yan held on to the fishing rod and refused to let go. The fishing net of Da Lao Tie's brother dragged the rod directly into the river. We all ran away when we saw that things were not going well."

Wang Zhan, Wang Li, and He Yushui laughed when they heard this. He Yushui said, "No, I have to go back to the courtyard to see what's going on. He asked my brother to borrow food a few days ago, and he refused to leave if he didn't give it to me. How annoying."

He Yushui ran away. The four young men wanted to go, but they didn't dare to go, fearing that Yan Jiecheng and Liu Guangtian would recognize them. Wang Zhan said, "If you want to watch the excitement, you don't have to go to that yard. You can see it from the roof of my house. Come on, I'll take you there."

Wang Zhan closed the door and took them to the backyard. They climbed up the ladder one by one to the roof. This made Wang Li anxious. Wang Zhan told her, "You can go up, but don't move. You have to hold on to my clothes."

Wang Li nodded quickly and said, "Brother, hurry up, I will definitely listen to you."

When everyone reached the roof, they could see the entire front yard of the opposite courtyard at a glance. At this time, He Yushui walked into the alley. She walked into the yard slowly as if nothing had happened, sat down in the corner of the front yard corridor, and stared at the gate.

A few minutes later, Xiao Si shouted, "Here it comes, here it comes."

Everyone looked towards the entrance of the alley and saw Yan Bugui, holding a fishing rod and a stool in one hand and a bucket in the other. He was soaking wet, leaving a long trail of water on the road behind him. Yan Bugui was shivering all over as he walked towards home step by step.

Seeing his miserable appearance, everyone wanted to laugh, but they held it back because they were afraid that Yan Bugui would find out.

Yan Bugui had just arrived at the gate of the compound, and before he even entered the door, he heard a voice shouting, "Hey, Uncle San, did you go fishing, or did you get caught by a fish? How did you fall into the river?"

With this shout, all the neighbors in the compound came out and surrounded Yan Bugui. Yang Ruihua pushed through the crowd and quickly came to Yan Bugui. He quickly took the things in Yan Bugui's hand and asked with concern: "Old Yan, are you okay?"

Yan Bugui said angrily: "Do I look like I'm okay? Hurry up and go home."

Yang Ruihua pushed through the crowd and said, "Neighbors, please stop laughing at us. Please make way for us. My family is unlucky enough. Please be more polite. We are all neighbors."

Yan Bugui glared at Jia Zhangshi. She was the one who yelled at him. Yan Bugui walked into the front yard with the help of Yang Ruihua. Liu Haizhong stood in the front yard with his hands behind his back. Looking at Yan Bugui, he said, "Third Uncle, what are you doing? Did you go take a shower? Why don't you take off your clothes?"

Yan Bugui was trembling now, unable to utter a word, and said unhappily, "Yes, I went to take a shower, and I brought your two boys with me. I suspect they were the ones who pushed me down. Old Liu, what do you think we should do?"

Liu Haizhong was stunned for a moment. Liu Guangqi and Liu Guangtian had indeed gone out to play today. It couldn't be them. But he said, "You're talking nonsense. It can't be my child. My child is very well behaved."

Yan Bugui smiled and said, "Old Liu, just wait for your compensation. It was your boy who pushed me down. If you don't believe me, wait for them to come back and see if their pants are wet too." After that, he turned and left. Liu Haizhong was a little nervous because he was not sure whether these two boys could really do such a thing.

Yan Bugui simply wanted to blackmail Liu Haizhong, because when he came back, his two boys had indeed gone to the river to play, and their clothes and pants were wet. He didn't think anything of it when he saw it, but when he walked into the yard, he saw Liu Haizhong mocking him, so he made up his mind to blackmail him, saying that it was the two boys who pushed them.

Liu Haizhong's heart was beating a little nervous. He walked home worriedly and sat in the main room waiting for the two children to come back. There was a wooden stick on the table. Yang Yue'e naturally heard what Yan Bugui said. She was not sure whether this matter was true or not, so she paced back and forth in the room anxiously.

At this time, He Yushui finished watching the show and skipped out of the yard. At this time, a pair of vicious triangular eyes were staring at He Yushui's back. Wang Zhan saw from the roof that it was Jia Zhang who was staring at He Yushui. He knew that this old hag was up to no good. He frowned slightly and kept looking at Jia Zhang until Jia Zhang turned around and went back to the central courtyard.

Wang Zhan took his sister and friends down from the roof and returned to the yard. Everyone was laughing. At this time, Wang Zhan went to the front yard to open the door for He Yushui. He Yushui happily walked into the yard. Several people were chattering about what had just happened.

Wang Zhan took a few bottles of soda and brought them to the backyard. The friends were drinking soda and talking about how Yan Bugui fell into the river. He Yushui told them everything that had just happened and then asked, "Brother Zhan, you said that Teacher Yan seemed to say that the two guys from the Liu family pushed him into the river. Is he trying to blackmail the Liu family?"

Wang Zhan nodded and said, "Of course he is. His family is extremely poor now. How could he let go of the chance to blackmail someone? I guess your courtyard will be busy again tonight."

Fei Qing said in a somewhat unfair tone: "How could Teacher Yan do this? How could he blackmail people? This is so unkind."

Xiao Si thought for a moment and said, "You said that when we beat Liu Guangtian with a club last time, we were standing up for He Yushui, but in the end, we have no grudge against him. Do you think we should help these two brothers?"

Big Boss and Little Five both agreed with Little Four's idea. Fei Qing simply couldn't stand Yan Bugui, so he said, "We have to help. Let's send someone to tip off the two brothers, let them change into clean clothes, and then go home with their companions. This way, Yan Bugui's claims will be untrue."

Wang Zhan didn't say anything, nor did he want to get involved. He was thinking about how to find something for Jia Zhang to do. The four boys discussed it, said hello to Wang Zhan and the others, and went out, heading straight for Shichahai.

It's true that Liu Guangqi is a smart man. He understood what was going on as soon as he heard what Fei Qing said. He first thanked Fei Qing for the tip-off. After Fei Qing left, he rolled his eyes and whispered to Liu Guangtian. Liu Guangtian kept nodding. It seemed that they had a way to deal with Yan Bugui.

In the evening of that day, almost all the neighbors in the middle courtyard of No. 95 Courtyard came. This was a courtyard meeting organized by Yi Zhonghai. At this time, only the deaf old lady in the backyard, Sha Zhu in the middle courtyard, and the two children of the Liu family had not returned. Almost everyone else was there. He Yushui just stood in the corner and watched.
