The Red Era: The Crowd in the Siheyuan

Chapter 465: Curious Neighbors

After a while, Xu Damao pushed the bicycle out.

While helping Qin Huairu to lift the stick, Yi Zhonghai told Xu Damao,

"Da Mao, I'll go to Gulou Hospital with you. When we get out, please ride faster and don't waste time."

"Uncle Yi, I understand. Let's go now."

As Xu Damao and Yi Zhonghai pushed their bicycles out, they did not forget to remind Qin Huairu,

"Sister-in-law Dongxu, you and Aunt Zhang should come to the hospital as soon as possible. We can also check Aunt Zhang when the time comes. She was in pain just now. I hope nothing unexpected happens to her."

After hearing Xu Damao's words, Jia Zhang, who had calmed down, touched the big bump on her head and immediately followed him out of the courtyard.

"Qin Huairu, ask your sister to take good care of Xiaodang and Huaihua, and let's go to the hospital together.

I have a terrible headache and need to get it checked out."

Seeing Xu Damao and the Jia family leaving the courtyard,
The main person left, and the neighbors should have dispersed, but everyone was extremely interested in what Liu Haizhong said about Jia Zhang being Xu Fugui's mistress, and they all surrounded Liu Haizhong and asked him questions.

"Old Liu, is what you said true? Is it true that Mrs. Zhang is having an affair with Xu Fugui?

But if this really happened, why did Banggeng react so strongly? "

"Yes, yes, yes, Lao Liu, please tell us what happened. You have been hiding it so well. We have moved to the courtyard for more than 10 years, and we have never heard of this matter."

……

Seeing that all the residents of the courtyard were asking about the trivial matters between Jia Zhangshi and Xu Fugui,
Liu Haizhong, who had just been in trouble because of this matter, was in no mood to talk to them about all that.

"Go, go, go, go, go, go, go home and feed your child.
What nonsense are you talking about here?"

After scolding the neighbors, Liu Haizhong looked at the confused brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu and angrily accused them,

"Look at what you two little bastards have done. Just wait and see how I'll deal with you after the New Year."

After saying that, Liu Haizhong went home with his hands behind his back, worrying.

Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu saw that the opportunity they had finally gotten ended in such a whimper, and they hated Bang Geng who suddenly showed up to mess things up.

If this guy hadn't suddenly run out and hit Liu Haizhong with a stick, he wouldn't have been slapped by the angry Liu Haizhong.

Now, my own affairs have been messed up before I can figure them out.
These two brothers will definitely have trouble in the future.

Following Liu Guangtian, he saw the neighbors asking Liu Haizhong if he was successful, and they all surrounded He Daqing and He Yuzhu, the father and son.

Then an idea struck me, and I asked loudly,

"Brother Zhuzi, you have to make the decision for us. My two brothers have offended my parents badly today. If you don't solve the problem for us, my father will beat us to death in the future."

After hearing Liu Guangtian's question,

The neighbors who were gathering around He Yuzhu didn't care about their lives.

Compared with the irrelevant Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu, satisfying one's own curiosity is obviously more important.

"Guangtian, Guangfu, your problems can't be solved in a short time. Your father has returned home, and it's getting late. Let's talk about it tomorrow. Let's have a meeting tomorrow to talk about your father's beating and the inheritance rights between you two brothers."

"Yes, yes, yes, in broad daylight, look how big a fuss has been caused today because of your Liu family's affairs.
It's New Year's Day, it's inappropriate to continue talking about it, let's talk about it tomorrow!"

Although the neighbors' arguments made sense, in the end, Liu Guangtian didn't believe them at all because his own affairs had nothing to do with them.
So I just turned a deaf ear to He Yuzhu and waited to see what he would say.

He Yuzhu didn't want to get involved in the affairs of the two brothers at all. Since the neighbors said they would have a meeting tomorrow, he was happy to go along with it.

"Guangtian, you and Guangfu go back first.
If your father makes things difficult for you, just tell him that Brother Zhuzi said that we will have a meeting tomorrow to resolve your family issues."

Seeing that He Yuzhu also said the same thing, Liu Guangtian had no choice but to take Liu Guangfu back home reluctantly.

After dealing with Liu Guangtian, He Yuzhu looked at the neighbors who had gathered around him.

"We don't know about Aunt Zhang and Uncle Xu's affairs, so don't ask us. If there is anything, we can talk about it after the parties come back.

If you have nothing to do, go home immediately.
We still have to stay up all night."

Although He Yuzhu said he didn't know, the neighbors in the courtyard were unwilling to believe him.
"Zhu Zi, you can't fool us. Your He family has been living in the courtyard for a long time. How could you not know about Xu Fugui and Zhang Saozi's affairs?
Tell us what happened quickly, or we won’t be able to sleep well tonight.”

"That's right, Zhuzi, you just talk half-heartedly, you don't do things this way."

Whether the neighbors believed it or not was none of He Yuzhu's business. He didn't plan to say more anyway.

"Dear uncles and aunts, this is the family affair between Xu Damao and Aunt Zhang. If you want to know, go ask the parties involved, don't ask me.
I'm not the kind of person who likes to gossip.

Okay, let's all go. We still have a meeting tomorrow to discuss things. Let's go to bed early after the New Year's Eve celebration."

After saying that, He Yuzhu ignored them, pushed aside the crowd, and took Lou Xiaoe and the others back to the central courtyard.

Seeing that He Yuzhu refused to speak, the neighbors did not dare to stop him.

But that didn't stop them from imagining what happened between Jia Zhangshi and Xu Fugui, and because they knew nothing, the scenes they imagined were quite stunning.

Not only the neighbors, but even Lou Xiao'e, who knew nothing about it, was very interested in Jia Zhang's affairs.
As soon as I got home, I couldn't wait to ask,
"Dad, Zhuzi, I didn't have the courage to ask in front of so many neighbors just now whether what Uncle Liu said was true or not."

Seeing that Lou Xiao'e was also so gossipy, He Yuzhu couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.

Looking at the neighbors who had returned to the middle courtyard and gathered in the yard to chat, He Yuzhu still chose not to tell her.
"Okay, Xiao'e, don't ask about this anymore. You will know the answer at the meeting tomorrow.

By the way, Dad, Uncle Liu beat Bang Geng so badly today, I’m afraid he’ll have to pay a lot of money tomorrow!”

Seeing his son suddenly asking him, He Daqing nodded directly.

"Definitely,

Although we are now the working class and we can get medical treatment and hospitalization reimbursed, it doesn't cost much.
But given Mrs. Zhang's temper, she would definitely blackmail Old Liu.

To be honest, Lao Liu really deserved it. He did not do things in a proper way.
It’s been nearly 20 years since Zhang Saozi and Xu Fugui dug into the cellar. I almost forgot about it, but he actually remembered it and brought it up. He’s really unique.”

As soon as He Daqing finished speaking, a head with a look of surprise appeared at the door.
