Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 784: Silly Pillar Causes Trouble
It was another school day. Wang Zhan finished his exercise early and started preparing lunch, packing three lunch boxes. He Yushui helped Wang Li wash up. The three of them knew that if they were not quick, they would be late today.

The three of them quickly finished their breakfast, carrying their schoolbags and water bottles, Wang Zhan holding the lunch box, He Yushui pulling Wang Li, they locked the door and ran to the school. As soon as they went out, Aunt Sun came to look for Wang Zhan, but seeing the three people in a hurry, she knew they were rushing to school, so she stopped and planned to wait until they came back from school before coming back.

Fortunately, the three of them entered the school gate on time. He Yushui and Wang Li were both out of breath, but Wang Zhan was fine. He let go of Wang Li's hand and was about to walk to his classroom when he heard Wang Li shout, "Oh no, brother, I forgot to bring my candy."

This made Wang Zhan angry, and he said, "We can't go without food for a day, let's wait until noon and go out to buy some."

He Yushui said at this time, "Brother Zhan, did you bring the candy ticket?"

Wang Zhan said impatiently, "I've brought it. Don't worry, hurry up. If you're any slower, the teacher will block you outside the classroom."

The three of them then hurried to the classroom. After Wang Zhan sat down and calmed down for a while, he found that only Xiao Si had come to the seat in front of him, and Xiao Wu had not come. Wang Zhan poked Xiao Si on the back, and Xiao Si turned around, smiled and greeted, saying, "Good morning, Brother Zhan."

"Where is Xiaowu? Aren't you two inseparable?" Wang Zhan asked.

Xiao Si laughed and said, "Xiao Wu, he's lying on the bed. He can't come today."

Wang Zhan became interested and asked, "What's going on? Tell me."

Just as Xiao Si was about to open his mouth, the class bell rang. Xiao Si said, "I'll tell you during the break. I can't explain it in just a few words."

The first period is the class taught by the head teacher, so they are generally very well behaved and no one dares to cause trouble.

During the break, the two went out to the toilet. As they walked, Xiao Si was talking excitedly about Xiao Wu's heroic deeds.

Yesterday was a rest day. Early in the morning, Xiaowu overheard his father say that today was his mother's birthday and that he would give her a surprise in the evening. After hearing this, Xiaowu thought about it and then took Xiaosi to Shichahai to fish, saying that he would also give his mother a surprise in the evening.

It was almost noon when Xiaowu was lucky and they caught a carp weighing about three pounds. Xiaowu happily carried the carp and took Xiaosi home. Cleaning fish was something they did often, so they cleaned the fish in the afternoon, but looking at the fish, Xiaosi asked him what to do.

Xiao Wu smiled and said, "Isn't the squirrel carp cooked by Brother Zhan the most delicious? It just so happens that my mother also likes sweet food, so I cooked squirrel carp."

When Xiaowu put the fish on the chopping board and picked up the knife, he was suddenly stunned. Xiaosi knew at a glance that it was usually Wang Zhan who cooked it. The two of them didn't know how to cook it and just watched it when they had nothing to do.

Xiaowu doesn't know how to use a knife, so after the two of them studied for a long time, they just cut it in half, and then made a few random cuts. In this way, the two halves became four halves. Xiaowu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

When Xiaowu took out his family's flour, vegetable oil and sugar, Xiaosi knew that they were bad. Xiaosi's and Xiaowu's families were not like Wang Zhan's. The sugar, flour and vegetable oil were all rationed, and every household was reluctant to use them, wanting to save them for the New Year. Xiaosi saw that something bad was going to happen and found an excuse to run away.

Xiaowu followed his memory and messed around in the kitchen. When her mother came back in the evening and saw the kitchen and Xiaowu with flour all over his face, she was furious. She picked up the firewood stick next to her and beat Xiaowu, making him run around the yard. His mother was tired from chasing him and just took a break when his father came back and ran over to ask what happened. Mother Zhang pointed to the kitchen and said, "Go and see, your troublemaker has messed up all the things we have saved for half a year."

After Zhang's father went to the kitchen and saw what was happening, he was even angrier than Zhang's mother. He directly pulled out his belt, pressed Xiaowu onto the bed, and started beating him. The whole courtyard was filled with Xiaowu's screams. After this double beating, Xiaowu never got out of bed.

Wang Zhan laughed out loud after hearing this. This Xiao Wu is really a fool. But after laughing, he turned around and asked, "Xiao Si, you are so unkind. Why didn't you stop Xiao Wu, who is so stupid?"

Xiao Si rolled his eyes and said, "Xiao Wu is a stubborn person, you know that." Then the two of them laughed.

After school, He Yushui and Wang Li were also stunned by Xiaowu’s feat and laughed even more happily than Wang Zhan.

He Yushui reached the entrance of the alley and said, "I'm going home to get something and will be back in a while."

Wang Zhan waved his hand and took Wang Li home. As they walked, Wang Zhan asked his sister, "What do you think if I were to become a squirrel carp and send it to your brother Xiaowu to express his condolences?"

When Wang Li heard this, she rolled her eyes and said, "Brother, you have become bad, haha!"

On the other side, He Yushui just walked to the gate of No. 95 courtyard, and saw Yan Bugui, who was wearing white cloth tape glasses on his nose, watering the flowers at the screen wall at the gate. When He Yushui appeared, Yan Bugui looked at He Yushui, but ignored her and turned around to continue watering the flowers.

He Yushui didn't say anything and walked straight in. But just as he reached the Lotus Gate, he heard a shrill shout, "I told you to run, I must beat you to death today."

He Yushui saw Xu Damao in the backyard running towards the main gate, followed closely by his brother Sha Zhu.

He Yu Shui turned sideways and hid aside. Sha Zhu also saw He Yu Shui, and ignored her and went straight to chase Xu Damao.

He Yushui frowned, ignored Sha Zhu, took his clothes, left the courtyard and went back to Wang Zhan.

What He Yushui didn't know was that Xu Damao mocked and said that his family hated him and left him, and even his sister ran away. Sha Zhu became furious when he heard this, and started to beat Xu Damao. When Xu Damao saw Sha Zhu fighting, he knew he couldn't beat him and ran away. Sha Zhu, who was already angry, chased him closely, and when he saw his sister coming and ignoring him, he became even angrier.

Not long after they chased him outside, Xu Damao was kicked to the ground by Sha Zhu. They were already on the street. Sha Zhu had lost his mind a little bit. He pinned Xu Damao under him and beat him violently. This time, he did not stop until the onlookers noticed that Xu Damao had fainted, and they quickly reported to the Public Security Committee.

Just when Sha Zhu was about to continue beating, the security guard appeared and pressed him to the ground, tied him up with a rope and took him away. Xu Damao was sent to the hospital by the security guard.

There really was someone from Yard No. 95 among the crowd. When that person saw what was happening, he quickly ran to report it. Yi Zhonghai had just got off work, and when he heard the news, he thought, this is bad, this idiot Zhu must have gotten into big trouble, and then he hurried to the backyard to look for the deaf old lady.
