Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 734 Rainy Past

Wang Zhan was completely confused at that time, but he knew that his parents were going to leave them. However, Wang Zhan never shed tears because he always remembered his father's words, "You are already a man and a warrior." He was only six years old that year and his sister had just turned one month old.

The next day, when Wang Zhan woke up, there was no one at home except his sister. His father burned all the things related to writing before he left. Wang Zhan looked at the heavy snow outside and cried uncontrollably, but he kept covering his mouth and made no sound. Until his sister's crying was heard, Wang Zhan hurriedly went to the kitchen to find the milk left by his mother, heated it up and fed it to his sister.

A few days later, the village was occupied by a group of stragglers. A kind-hearted hunter secretly took him and his sister to the mountain. As soon as they reached the top of the mountain, Wang Zhan saw that his home had been engulfed in fire.

The hunter helped Wang Zhan take care of the children, and when Wang Zhan had nothing to do, he learned hunting from the hunter. After just two months, the hunter went down the mountain to exchange some goat milk for his little sister. He never came back. After all, Wang Zhan was still young, and without food, he had no choice but to escape from the mountain and the village with his sister, begging all the way north.

Wang Zhan was painfully recalling his life experience when he felt someone pulling his clothes. Wang Zhan woke up from his memories and saw that it was his sister. She was pulling his clothes and yelling, "Brother, brother, what's wrong with you?"

"What's wrong?" Wang Zhan was a little confused and looked at his sister.

"I've called you many times, but you ignored me like a fool." Wang Li almost cried.

Wang Zhan then realized that everyone had finished their meal and was leaning back in their chairs, staring at him with wide eyes. Wang Zhan smiled awkwardly and said, "I remembered something and was distracted. Okay, you guys should do your homework after you finish eating. I'm fine."

Only then did they leave the table and head straight for the study. Only Wang Li was still a little worried about her brother. She refused to leave and stayed with Wang Zhan.

What they didn't know at that time was that there was a woman staring at the gate of Courtyard No. 95 with resentment. That person was Jia Zhang. She went to follow He Yushui today, but didn't even see a shadow of a person, which made her very angry. In the end, it was getting dark and she had no money to eat out. She only brought 5,000 yuan when she went out, which was all spent on the buns for lunch. When it got dark, she couldn't stand it anymore and dragged her thirsty and hungry body back to the courtyard.

After dinner, she thought of the hateful He Yushui again, so she sat alone at the entrance of Lianhua Gate, staring at the gate. The neighbors on both sides didn't know what she was looking at, but they didn't care about her either, thinking it was better to mind her own business.

At Wang Zhan's home, after finishing their homework, the fourth and fifth children went home, and only He Yushui stayed to help Wang Li wash clothes. Wang Zhan read a book for a while, then went directly to the main room in the backyard, made a cup of tea, and sat there watching He Yushui who was busy. He felt that He Yushui would talk to him about something. He felt very puzzled. Why did Jia Zhang set her eyes on He Yushui? What was the reason?

Wang Zhan looked at the time, then came to the middle of the yard and began to practice martial arts. Time passed by minute by minute, and when Wang Wenyuan finally finished his work and meditated, he was in the middle of the yard. When he opened his eyes, he found that the moon was already above the willow branches.

He Yushui had been sitting at the door of the main hall. Seeing Wang Zhan wake up from meditation, he quickly ran over with a towel and handed it to Wang Zhan. Wang Zhan took the towel and wiped his face while asking, "Where's my sister?"

"He's already asleep in the west room." He Yushui said. Wang Zhan looked at He Yushui and said, "Do you have something to tell me? Go get my teacup and we'll talk in the yard."

He Yushui ran to the main hall, and Wang Zhan went to wash his face again before returning to the stone table in the backyard and sitting down. He Yushui handed Wang Zhan his teacup and said, "I just want to tell you about some things between Jia Zhang and me, so that you don't worry."

Wang Zhan looked at He Yushui with interest and said, "Why should I worry? She doesn't know me. I'm just afraid of trouble. Okay, tell me, is it a legendary story?"

Wang Zhan didn't expect He Yushui to nod, and then tell him her experience.

It turned out that when He Yushui was five or six years old, her father He Daqing ran away. At that time, Sha Zhu could do nothing but lose his temper. In the days that followed, Sha Zhu went to Fengzeyuan as an apprentice. He Yushui was left unattended all of a sudden, and she had no food to eat. Just when He Yushui was feeling confused.

The family from the next yard took her in. At that time, the people in her own yard were very indifferent. Apart from making sarcastic remarks, they never paid any attention to this little girl of five or six years old. The owner of the next yard was called Wang Wenyuan, and he had a younger sister named Wang Wenli, who was two years younger than her. Then his father He Daqing was captured and brought back. He Yushui knew that it was Grandma Jinhua, Mother Feng, and Mother Wang who found the person.

He Yushui's father was educated by the Military Control Commission for two days and then released. The next day, he took his brother and sister to the next door to apologize.

Later, when elder brother Wang Wenyuan asked He Daqing whether he was still leaving, He Daqing told him the truth about his situation. He had already married the eloped White Widow, and more importantly, the White Widow was pregnant, so he had to leave. Finally, Granny Jinhua felt pity for He Yushui and decided to let him live with them as long as He Daqing sent the child support on time.

He Daqing looked at the unreasonable Sha Zhu and knew that his son could not take care of He Yushui, so he agreed. He was also grateful to Grandma Jinhua, Mother Wang and others and kept thanking them.

In this way, He Yushui lived in No. 91 Courtyard, but this incident surprised the neighbors in No. 95 Courtyard, especially Jia Zhang from the Jia family. Every time she passed by the entrance of the alley, she could always smell the fragrance of food coming from No. 91 Courtyard. Every meal contained meat, but her family could not eat meat once in half a year, so she was very jealous of He Yushui.

But it was that period of time that made He Yushui very satisfied. She had Grandma Jinhua who loved her, Mother Wang who took care of her, Wang Wenli who accompanied her, and Brother Yuan who cared about her. It was the most wonderful time she had ever had.

Just when He Yushui was immersed in a happy life, when she was in the first grade of elementary school, one night, Wang Wenyuan and his sister, who had gone out to relax, suddenly came back from the grassland.

Wang Wenyuan came back and looked at He Yushui, who happily jumped into Wang Wenyuan's arms. Wang Wenyuan looked at He Yushui with an apologetic expression, but didn't say much. He just told him to stay in the house and play with sister Wenli. Then Wang Wenyuan went to Grandma Jinhua's house. Although He Yushui talked a lot, she also listened to what Grandma Wang said and took sister Wenli back to the house. It seemed that sister Wenli was very tired and fell asleep soon after entering the house.
