Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 987 Xiao Wu's Visit
The residents of No. 95 Courtyard began to gossip, and Liu Haizhong glared angrily at Yan Bugui.

Yan Bugui looked at him and said, "No matter what, it was your second son's idea. If it weren't for your second son, my Jiefang wouldn't have dared to do such a thing. This has caused enormous losses to our family. Let everyone judge for themselves, isn't that right?"

Yi Zhonghai was a little dazed. He had a purpose for holding the meeting today. He originally wanted to promote the outstanding courtyard and then talk about the Jia family's donation. But before he could even start talking about the second matter, Yan Bugui had interfered.

Yi Zhonghai was very dissatisfied with Yan Bugui, but now that things had started, he didn't know what to say, so he gave Jia Dongxu a look.

Jia Dongxu understood and looked up at Yan Bugui, shouting, "Isn't it a waste of public resources to bring up your dispute as family members of two labor camp members in a meeting? You should just settle things privately. It's all so shameful."

Sha Zhu also said, "That's right, they've become family members of convicts, yet they're still making a big fuss about it. You guys are shameless enough."

Upon hearing this, Yan Bugui trembled with rage. Liu Haizhong had already forgotten about his second son's shameful deeds, but now Jia Dongxu and Shazhu had brought it up again, making him furious. He shouted, "Shazhu, how can you talk like that? I'll fight you to the death!"

As he spoke, he charged towards Sha Zhu. The strength of a level six forger was extraordinary. Sha Zhu did not dare to be careless and stood up and charged forward as well. He and Liu Haizhong exchanged punches and kicks. When Liu Guangqi saw that his father was being beaten, he immediately joined the fray.

Jia Dongxu was just watching the show. When he saw that Sha Zhu was going to suffer a loss, he knew that if he didn't go up, he wouldn't be able to explain himself later, so he gritted his teeth and rushed up.

When Yi Zhonghai saw that things were getting out of control, he was afraid that his apprentice would be at a disadvantage, so he went up and pretended to break up the fight. In reality, he grabbed Liu Haizhong's two hands, and the Liu father and son were immediately put at a disadvantage.

Xu Damao had nothing to do with this place normally, and he wouldn't usually come here, but the current situation made him very indignant. He felt that the He, Jia, and Yi families were ganging up on the Liu family, and his sense of justice surged instantly. He grabbed a stick and rushed over, first hitting Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai was overjoyed, seeing this as an opportunity to strike back at Liu Haizhong. Everything was going smoothly, but in an instant, he was hit on the head, and Yi Zhonghai immediately fainted.

When Sha Zhu and Jia Dongxu saw the old man fall down, and then saw Xu Damao standing behind him with a stick, the two of them got angry and rushed towards Xu Damao. Liu Haizhong also realized what was happening and wanted to help Xu Damao. When Xu Damao saw that the situation was not good, he turned around and ran away, running around in circles before running out of the courtyard.

Liu Haizhong blocked Jia Dongxu and Shazhu. It's unclear what Yan Bugui was thinking, but perhaps he hated Liu Haizhong so much that he directly stopped Liu Haizhong and his son for Shazhu and Jia Dongxu.

This led to the scene at the beginning: after beating Xu Damao, they threw him into the yard. Yi Zhonghai's apprentice also helped, as they had all received a hint from Yi Zhonghai.

Wang Zhan and Wu Ergou were quite satisfied with what they saw. As soon as they turned around, Wu Ergou ran away. Wang Zhan was puzzled, since the matter in the courtyard had nothing to do with him, so why was he running away?

After about ten minutes, Wang Zhan understood that Wu Ergou had called the police, and a group of police officers rushed into the courtyard at No. 95.

Wang Zhan and Wu Ergou looked at each other and decided that this was the end of it. Those who needed to be sent to the hospital should be sent to the hospital, and those who needed to be taken back to the police station should be taken back to the police station. So the two of them stopped looking and took Wang Li back to their own home to continue drinking.

A few days later, the well-informed Granny Sun came over and talked about the matter at No. 95 Courtyard. To Wang Zhan's surprise, the matter was actually settled. In the end, no one paid compensation and no one was punished. It was said that the old lady from the backyard mediated the dispute.

Wang Zhan once again felt a deep respect for the old lady in that courtyard, and he secretly resolved that before he came of age, he would never provoke this old lady. Ugh, even after he came of age, he would avoid provoking her.

Another weekend has arrived. It's already the end of October, and the weather is gradually getting cooler. Wang Zhan changed Wang Li into a sweater and long johns. These were all ready-made clothes bought from a department store. He was worried that his younger sister wouldn't be warm enough. For the first few days, Wang Li complained that the sweater and long johns were itchy, but she got used to them after wearing them for a few days.

On this weekend morning, Wang Li and I had planned to go to Guanyuan Garden. It had been a long time since we last went there. Since we moved into our new house, we haven't had any plants at all. We were thinking of buying a few potted plants this time.

But just after finishing breakfast, there was a knock on his front door. Wang Zhan thought it was someone from the front yard, so he went to open it. There stood Xiao Wu, carrying a cloth bag. He hadn't seen his brothers for a long time since starting vocational school. Wang Zhan was very happy to see Xiao Wu and gave him a big hug. Xiao Wu followed Wang Zhan into the yard.

"Why are you here today? Huh, where's Xiao Si?" Wang Zhan was surprised to find that this was the first time he had only seen Xiao Wu and not Xiao Si. Usually, the two of them were inseparable.

"I'm back in Changping. I heard that Grandpa Li's family has run out of food," Xiao Wu said sadly.

Wang Zhan was startled and asked, "Is it that serious? Why didn't Xiao Si contact me?"

“Not only does he not contact you, he doesn’t even let me come over, afraid that he’ll let something slip and cause you trouble,” Xiao Wu said.

Wang Zhan laughed and said, "What can't we talk about, we're brothers? Look, you've already said it yourself, what are you carrying?"

"Oh, my mom asked me to bring these, saying they're bamboo fungus. I don't know what they are, they're a specialty from my grandma's family," Xiao Wu said.

"Your maternal grandmother's home is in the mountains?" Wang Zhan asked.

Xiao Wu's eyes widened, and he asked, "How did you know it was at the foot of the Taihang Mountains?"

“Nonsense, this stuff only grows in the mountains. Come on, let’s go inside. Lili, go get your fifth brother a bottle of soda,” Wang Zhan shouted.

"Okay, brother, Fifth Brother, wait a minute." Wang Li ran towards the kitchen.

"Our little sister is getting cuter and cuter. Sigh, my poor little sister is suffering," Xiao Wu lamented.

Xiao Wu's younger sister, Shang Lili, is only a little over one year old. Although she has been weaned, she is not getting enough nutrition. His family can't buy milk powder or malted milk powder, so Xiao Wu feels that his sister is a bit malnourished.

Wang Zhan laughed and said, "Wait a minute. Oh, and give me what Aunt Wang gave me."

Xiao Wu handed over the bag he had brought. Xiao Wu went directly to the basement in the northwest corner. Not long after, he came back with the bag and handed it to Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu opened it and, wow, there were two cans of malted milk powder, two cans of milk powder, and a small bag containing some kind of grain.

Wang Zhan said, "I bought a lot at the beginning of this year. Let's return the favor and bring it back to Lili. You can't refuse."

Xiao Wu was deeply moved, but still remained rational and said, "Brother Zhan, I know you have money, but I'll pay for this later. We'll keep things separate, and you can't refuse."

Wang Zhan thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Let's have lunch before we leave. When we get back, let's tell Xiao Si that I have a lot of food here. Let him have some and come and get it himself."

Xiao Wu agreed; he also wanted to help Xiao Si.
