Siheyuan: God rewards hard work and makes life better

If you really think you can learn it just by taking a few glances, then all these years have been wasted.

On the way back, I happened to meet Pei Zhenrong unexpectedly. We both laughed and everything was said without words.

It’s great to have relatives who care about each other like this!

.........

Summer nights are always so intoxicating. The dark sky is filled with shining stars, which are particularly dazzling. A bright moon hangs high in the sky, and the faint light is like a thin veil, sparkling and shining.

The frogs hiding in the grass also started to become unruly, croaking non-stop. The cicadas clinging to the tree trunks also refused to give in, chirping "chi chi chi". I don't know when the fireflies also flew out to enjoy the cool air, and they twinkled in the trees, which was very beautiful.

The gate of Jia’s courtyard.

Qin Huairu looked at the mess in the house, thought carefully, and then walked towards the Yi family with her butt twisted.

After listening to her story, Yi Zhonghai frowned and then found the other two uncles.

The three of them discussed it to no avail and decided to hold a meeting of the entire courtyard to deal with the Jia family’s problem.

At eight o'clock, everyone in the compound gathered in the middle courtyard on time.

Liu Haizhong stood up first and said, "Dear neighbors, the main purpose of holding this meeting today is to deal with the Jia family's problems."

"Everyone knows that the Jia family's house was hit by a strong wind. There are cracks all over the walls and it is in a mess. It is temporarily unsuitable for living."

"I have called you all here to discuss a countermeasure and see how to arrange for this family. Now, I would like to invite the most experienced uncle to speak."

Yi Zhonghai cleared his throat and said in a deep voice: "Our hospital has always been a big family. Now that our neighbors are in trouble, I hope everyone can carry forward the spirit of unity and friendship."

"Those residents whose homes are more spacious can lend a hand and make room for the Jia family to stay temporarily."

"Is there anyone willing to volunteer to help with this?"

The neighbors were all silent, their eyes sweeping over Yi Zhonghai, Zhao Maimai, and Xu Damao.

Apart from these three families, aren't all the others in the courtyard living together in a crowded community?

Yi Zhonghai knew it well, and his eyes inadvertently swept over Zhao Maimai and Xu Damao, finally stopping on that pretty figure.

"Mai Mai, I remember there is an empty room in your house."

"How about letting Banggeng and Xiaodang live there first, and the others can squeeze in with Liyun?"

Zhao Maimai was sitting next to Liang Ladi, teasing He Dapeng in her arms, smiling like a flower!

He was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Yi Zhonghai with a bit of coldness.

Then a beautiful voice like that of a yellow oriole rang out among the crowd, clear and powerful, floating above the yard.

"Uncle, you should talk to my husband about this matter. After all, he is the head of the family." Zhao Maimai said slowly.

"Xiao Guang is not here. Everyone knows that he is a kind-hearted person who often helps the needy families in the courtyard. Now that the Jia family is in trouble, I think he will definitely not refuse."

"Maimai, as Xiaoguang's wife, you can't hold him back." Yi Zhonghai's face was full of smiles. He still had the confidence to control a little girl.

Zhao Maimai finally realized what the man meant by moral kidnapping, and she felt even more disgusted with Yi Zhonghai. "Uncle, my man said that we should take the initiative to do good things from the heart, not be kidnapped by morality and forced to do it."

"You are making decisions for him now. If someone doesn't know you, they would think you are an elder of the Pei family."

The neighbors talked a lot after hearing this, but no one disagreed. It was normal to wait for the man to come back and make the decision. Yi Zhonghai's words were indeed a bit aggressive.

I am even more impressed by Zhao Maimai's calmness and strength. Although the girl seems gentle in daily life, she is not a timid person.

Sun Dahu had always received a lot of favors from Pei Guang, so he naturally couldn't bear to see his sister-in-law being wronged.

"Uncle, Brother Guang might be back soon, why don't we think of other ways first."

People from the Li and Wang families also responded. They didn't want to offend Yi Zhonghai, but they also couldn't bear to see Zhao Maimai being bullied.

Liang Ladi was more direct, "Uncle, I think Mai Mai is right. Doing good things cannot be kidnapped by morality."

Liu Haizhong was delighted. Although he was dissatisfied with Pei Guang, he was happy to see Yi Zhonghai embarrassed.

"Old Yi, it's not appropriate for you to force Mai Mai like this. How can she, a woman, make the decision?"

Yi Zhonghai's face darkened. He was becoming less and less intimidating. Even a little girl dared to challenge him. And before he knew it, Pei Guang had gained such a great influence in the courtyard, and so many people were helping him speak.

Liu Haizhong also took the opportunity to fall into my trap, which really pissed me off.

If everyone continues talking, it will be as if he has done something unforgivable.

He quickly explained: "Mai Mai, don't get me wrong, I don't mean that."

"Since you can't make the decision, let's wait until Xiao Guang comes back."

........

Chapter 119: Falling out

Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted, "Pei Guang is back."

Everyone looked up and saw him carrying a bicycle over the steps. There were two stacks of tiles hanging on the handlebars and two more tied to the back seat.

Pei Guang saw that he had attracted everyone's attention as soon as he appeared. He touched his face and said jokingly: "Why are you looking at me like that? Could it be that I have become handsome again?"

"Ha ha!"

"Hey! Brother Guang is so narcissistic."

Everyone was amused by Pei Guang's attitude. They had never seen such a shameless person.

"puff!"

Yan Fugui had just taken a sip of tea when he burst into laughter upon hearing this, splashing Liu Haizhong's face across from him.

"Old Yan, you..."

"Sorry! Sorry! I couldn't help it!"

Liu Haizhong couldn't get angry, so he shook his sleeves and ran to the sink to wash his face.

Yi Zhonghai secretly complained when he saw Pei Guang coming back. This was not a good person to deal with. He had planned to make a quick decision and deal with Zhao Maimai. Pei Guang could not say anything to regret.

Who would have thought that a little girl would be so bold as to say that and almost put him in a difficult position.

He knew that today's event was probably hopeless.

Qin Huairu and Jia Zhang looked at each other. They had never expected to live in the Pei family. Yi Zhonghai was their ultimate goal.

After the teasing, Pei Guang parked his bike and went straight to his wife. It was a big meeting, so how could he miss the chance to watch the fun?

Zhao Maimai was delighted to see the man come back. She briefly told him what happened in a low voice, and her words were full of dissatisfaction with Yi Zhonghai.

Pei Guang's smile gradually faded. What a guy! He actually set his sights on himself.

The sky cleared up, the rain stopped, and Yi Junzi felt that he was fine again?

Damn it! The Yi family is not without a house, so they should be good people themselves.

"Yi Zhonghai, did I give you face?"

"If you want to do good things, why don't you vacate your own room? After all this time, you just open your mouth. Do you really think you are a good thing?"

"Bah! Hypocrite!" An aura of majesty without even being angry emanated from him, exuding a domineering aura.

That was the inherent aura of the master-level Bajiquan, coupled with the coldness in his eyes, which made everyone present hold their breath.

Although his face was calm, the words he spoke were like a thunderclap exploding among the crowd.

Everyone looked at him with strange eyes, as if they were meeting him for the first time. In the past, Pei Guang had always left everyone with the impression of being smiling and polite, but what he said just now directly destroyed this image.

This momentum is so terrifying!

Yi Zhonghai was so shocked that his legs began to tremble involuntarily, and then he was filled with shame and anger.

He has been a big boss for so many years, but this is the first time someone dares to scold him like this. Doesn’t he have any face?

"Pei Guang, what's your attitude? I am your elder after all. Besides, I am just making a suggestion. You can disagree if you want. Why do you say that to me?"

His voice involuntarily rose a few notches, as if to give himself courage.

Pei Guang curled his lips, his face full of sarcasm, "Forget it, if there really is an elder like you, then I'm really unlucky for the rest of my life."

"Yi Zhonghai, let me ask you, can't you spare a house?"

"If you really want to help, why don't you just let Tian Dake sleep on the floor and free up a room for the Jia family?"

Yi Zhonghai was prepared for this, and said calmly: "My wing room is only this small, wouldn't it be too crowded for the Jia family to live in it? In comparison, your house is definitely the most suitable."

"I just didn't expect you to be such a person. You just sit back and watch your neighbor in trouble."

"Oh! I guess I misjudged the person." He said this with a look of deep sorrow on his face.

Some neighbors nodded after hearing this explanation, saying that it was indeed true.

Pei Guang felt disgusted and cursed, "It's already late. It's good enough to have a place to live. Why are you still being so picky?"

"You are the one who organized this meeting, right? Taking off your pants to fart is a waste of time."

"If you really want to help, please vacate the west wing!"

"Mai Mai, let's go. I feel sick even if I say one more word to this hypocrite." After saying that, he took his wife's hand, ignored Yi Zhonghai's stinky face, and went straight home.

The neighbors looked at each other in bewilderment. Pei Guang was really bold in saying that and didn't give Yi Zhonghai any face at all.

If you think about it carefully, that's exactly the case!

There are many smart people in the compound, and many of them have had such ideas. They will not wade into such muddy waters as this one.

Many people who had been morally kidnapped by Yi Zhonghai before, such as Liang Ladi, were secretly very happy.

Deserve it! People like this need to be punished.

Xu Damao deeply agreed with Pei Guang's true words, and sighed that he was not alone in his path, and regarded him as a close friend.

He had already seen through Yi Zhonghai's true face; he was a complete hypocrite.

Yi Zhonghai was so angry that he was shaking all over. Looking at the questioning eyes of others, he felt humiliated. He threw his sleeves and walked away with a gloomy face.

Seeing this, Auntie and Tian Dake left.

Jia Zhang was so anxious that she stamped her feet and shouted loudly behind them, "How could the person run away when we haven't even settled the accommodation yet?"

Unfortunately, the more she shouted, the faster people walked. There was a loud "bang" and she disappeared from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.

Yan Fugui's eyes almost popped out. Fortunately, he didn't go too far before. If Pei Guang did the same to him, he didn't even dare to imagine the scene.

Liu Haixin was so happy that he could not stop smiling. While the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman wins.

When two tigers fight, there must be one injury.

Now that Yi Zhonghai has lost face, isn't this a good thing for him?

Before he could be happy, Qin Huairu stared at him with tears in her eyes.

"Second uncle, now that the first uncle is not here, you are the one who is in charge of the compound."

"You can't just ignore the Jia family!"

"This..." Liu Haizhong stared at a loss, he couldn't take on such a hot potato.

A light bulb went off in my head, and among the thirty-six strategies, escape is the best one.

"Ouch! My stomach hurts a bit. I have to go to the toilet first."

"Old Yan, I'll leave this to you. I'll be back soon." After saying that, he ran out as if escaping, causing everyone to laugh.

Yan Fugui noticed Qin Huairu's straight gaze, his face turned bitter, and he cursed in his heart.

Damn Old Liu, you’ve caused me so much trouble!

His eyes rolled and he suddenly came up with a good idea.

"Qin Huairu, aren't you a worker at the steel mill?"

"Let's just make do with it tonight, and then go to the factory to apply for a dormitory tomorrow. It shouldn't be a problem to stay there for a few days."

"If it doesn't work, go talk to Lao Yi again. There will always be a way."

Everyone's eyes lit up and they all echoed.

After all, he is a scholar and has many ideas.

Yan Fugui felt proud when he heard the flattery from the crowd. After all the fuss, in the end, it was still me, Old Yan, who was in favor.
