The Red Era: The Crowd in the Siheyuan

Chapter 492: Yan Jiefang and his three siblings make trouble
Seeing Yan Bugui change his words, the neighbors all laughed.
Seeing that He Jianguo was about to take He Yue in to cook, He Daqing hurriedly stopped them.

"I wonder why you two are so panicking. Cooking is one thing, but you need to sort out the food issue first. Brothers should settle accounts clearly.

Old Yan, tell me how much food your family is going to prepare. You can't just eat our vegetarian food!"

Don't mention it, Yan Bugui really has such an idea.
If He Daqing didn't mention it, he would definitely be happy to pretend that nothing happened and just get away with it.
But when He Daqing brought it up, he patted his chest and smiled flatteringly,
"How is this possible, Lao He? Who do you think I am? How could I possibly eat your vegetarian food? Since we are cooking together, we must pay what we deserve and share the cost equally among everyone."

Looking at Yan Bugui's smile, He Daqing smiled and nodded at him, then asked the neighbors to discuss the food issue.

While the neighbors were busy arguing, Xu Damao looked at He Yuzhu and asked quietly,
"Zhu Zi, we heard gunshots outside when we were building the earthquake shelter in the courtyard just now. What happened? Could someone have died?"

"They are just people who want to take advantage of the chaos to do evil. It's not a big deal. Why are you asking this?"

"Nothing, just a little curious, so I asked.

By the way, was it you who gave the order?"

"That's about right. There was a big earthquake this morning and people on the streets were in a panic, so we had to be ruthless. Those guys deserved to be caught by the militia."

Hearing that it was indeed He Yuzhu's order, Xu Damao didn't know what to think, and turned around and joined in the argument.

The heavy rain in Beijing was caused by the earthquake. It came and went quickly.
Before He Jianguo and his friends had finished lunch, the sky cleared up.
The neighbors also returned to their respective courtyards, while He Yuzhu and his family went to the middle courtyard to prepare for dinner.

He Yuzhu originally thought that after his operation, the whole city was covered with earthquake shelters, and the three children of the Yan family would not come to tear down the shelters in the whole courtyard. But who would have thought that while he was eating, Yan Wentao from the front yard ran over.

"Uncle He, Uncle He, please go to the front yard and take a look.

My second uncle, third uncle and my aunt came and clamored to tear down the earthquake shelter."

When they heard that the Yan family's children were going to dismantle the earthquake shelter, He Daqing, Yi Zhonghai and others who were eating all stopped eating.
"What's going on, Wentao? Didn't your uncle and aunt move out of the courtyard? Why did they come back and even want to dismantle the earthquake shelter? Who gave them the courage?"

"Yes,

Just now I heard Xu Damao say that Zhuzi and his militia killed people in order to build earthquake shelters.

How could Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang have the guts to tear things down? Aren’t they afraid that Zhuzi will take them away and shoot them? How could they be so brainless? "

Hearing the questions from the two grandfathers, although Yan Wentao himself knew nothing, he did not dare to hide anything and told them everything he knew.
However, he deliberately concealed the words that his uncle and aunt said in response to his grandfather and father.

After all, it's too embarrassing to say it out loud.

"Grandpa He, Grandpa Yi, I don't know exactly what's going on.

Just now, we were eating in the front yard, and my second uncle and third uncle rushed in with a group of people, saying that they had spent a long time looking for materials to build an earthquake shelter in the morning, but in the end, the shelter was not even built and it got wet in the rain.

He also said that the wood used to build the earthquake shelter in the front yard was brought back by the three of them from the air-raid shelter.
The earthquake shelter is going to be demolished, so we can have a taste of what it’s like to be caught in the rain.”

After finishing his explanation, Yan Wentao turned to look at He Yuzhu who was still eating leisurely, "Uncle He, you should go over and take a look. If it's any later, they will really dismantle the earthquake shelter and we won't know where to sleep tonight."

Hearing this, He Yuzhu put down the bowl and slowly stood up.

"Wen Tao, why are you panicking? I can just tell those three little bastards to put it back together the same way they took it down.

I was just thinking about where to find a typical example to serve as a warning to others, so that there won't be any more trouble in the city.
I didn't expect someone to deliver it to my door.
Then let them!"

Yan Wentao hadn't reacted to He Yuzhu's words, but Yi Zhonghai was shocked and immediately acted like a good guy again.
"Zhu Zi, you can't do anything rash. After all, you have watched them grow up, and Old Yan only has a few children. You can't just kill them like you did to those outsiders.
If you really do this, he will definitely fight you to death."

Not only Yi Zhonghai tried to persuade him, but even He Daqing, who had reacted, also tried to persuade him.

He didn't do it for anything else.
It's just that the He family, young and old, all live in the courtyard. If they really want to kill Yan Jiefang and his family, they will have to face Yan Bugui's family every day.
But there are only thieves who can steal for a thousand days, but there is no one who can guard against thieves for a thousand days.

He Yuzhu naturally knew this truth. The gunshots this morning had let everyone know that the militia dared to kill people, which was enough to deter the scoundrels in the city.
Saying this now is just to reinforce this impression. After all, the people in Siheyuan are too cunning and you never know when they might cause trouble.

"I know dad, I will take care of it."

However, He Yuzhu did not intend to let the children of the Yan family go. After he finished speaking, he turned to look at He Yuejin and said,
"Yuejin, go outside and see which of our militiamen are patrolling outside. Call them in. We must lock up Yan Jiefang and the others for two days today."

"I know dad, I'll go right away."

"I'll go with Yue Jin too, Uncle He."

Like He Yuejin, Bang Geng'er was also a fearless person. When he saw He Yuejin leaving, he immediately put down his bowl and chopsticks and ran out. Jia Zhang felt that there was no leader.

He Yuzhu's actions also made Yi Zhonghai and others unable to react.
Yes, we don't kill people now, but locking people up is not a good idea. They are all working in the unit. If they are locked up like this, will Yan Jiefang and his people still have a future?

Yi Zhonghai advised earnestly,

"Zhu Zi, you can't do this. If you lock them up, what will happen to them in the future?
I'm afraid I won't even be able to lift my head. How am I going to live my life from now on?"

As soon as Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, He Daqing immediately refuted,

"I say, Lao Yi, can you change your bad habits? You only consider the Yan family, but you don't consider our Zhuzi.
The militia arrested a lot of people today and killed some of them.
Why do others lose their lives when they cause trouble, but the children of the Yan family come to dismantle the earthquake shelter and nothing happens?

If this gets out, how can we, the pillars, convince the people? Those who were imprisoned or beaten to death will have no one at home, so they won't come to make trouble.

What's going on in your head?

I think those little bastards from the Yan family have been married for several years and have never come back to see Old Yan and his wife.
Now they are demolishing the earthquake shelters, they should be locked up for a while and let them reflect on their mistakes."
