Siheyuan: The Era of Struggle

Chapter 37: Take Precautions Before They Happen (Please Collect and Read)
Facing Yang Ning's scrutinizing gaze, no matter how thick-skinned He Yuzhu was, he felt a little uneasy at this moment.

After all, to be fair, the care the Yang family has given to the two siblings over the past few years is beyond reproach as long as they do it against their conscience.

Although the Yang family treated him like an ordinary neighbor, they were very concerned about his sister Yu Shui and took good care of her.

It's enough for him, a grown man, to be alive, but for his sister who lost her parents, the care from the Yang family is really a timely help.

But he also knew the recent situation in the yard. Except for the third uncle's family who said a word or two to the Yang family, other people avoided the Yang family as much as possible. If they really couldn't avoid them, they would just say hello with a smile at most.

He also understood that the incident with Jia Zhang was not really the fault of the Yang family, but although he looked carefree and easygoing, he actually had no opinion of his own and there was no adult at home to help him make decisions, so he had just followed the crowd and tried to avoid the Yang family as much as possible recently.

Today, Yang Ning suddenly forced him to his door, and he really didn't know what to do?
"Aunt Yang has really taken good care of my brother and me over the past few years."

Finally, under Yang Ning's gaze, He Yuzhu could only speak hesitantly.

"It's not bad. At least my conscience hasn't been eaten by a dog."

After hearing what He Yuzhu said, Yang Ning felt relieved: Just based on what you said today, Brother Ning guarantees that you will not be deprived of your entire family in the future.

"Can Brother Ning ask you for a favor today?"

He Yuzhu really fell for it. First, Yang Ning aroused his gratitude towards the Yang family, and then he said some soft words. Although Yang Ning's behavior seemed like he was asking for a favor, Yang Ning couldn't care less about it now. He just wanted to get through the period before moving safely first.

At worst, I can give him a hand later to prevent him from having to sleep under a bridge in his old age.

"Brother Ning, you said, as long as I can do it, I will definitely do it for you."

He Yuzhu's morale was aroused by Yang Ning. After hearing Yang Ning's words, he patted his chest and made assurances repeatedly.

If he hesitated for even a second at this moment, wouldn't it be like his conscience was eaten by a dog?
"You also know about the matter between my family and the Jia family. To be honest, although this matter was started by my family, the death of Jia Zhangshi can't really be blamed on my family, don't you think?"

Seeing He Yuzhu like this, Yang Ning knew that the matter was settled, so he explained to He Yuzhu earnestly.

"But Jia Dongxu got stuck in a rut and thought that our family was to blame for his mother Jia Zhang's death. He wanted to kill our entire family to vent his hatred."

"That's not possible!" For some reason, He Yuzhu wanted to defend the Jia family.

"Heh~" Yang Ning stared at He Yuzhu and laughed disdainfully: "Don't explain to Jia Dongxu, you saw how he looked at that time."

What a bootlicker. He doesn't think licking Qin Huairu is enough, and now he wants to lick his ex-husband as well?
"So I don't ask you for anything else. I just want you to help keep an eye on my parents when I'm not around. Just don't let my parents get bullied. Okay?"

"Okay! Leave it to me! I'll make sure no one dares to bully Aunt Yang and the others."

He Yuzhu felt that Jia Dongxu was not that kind of person, and Yang Ning's words were a bit alarmist, so he agreed without thinking.

For some reason, he felt happy every time he saw Sister Qin, so he felt that everyone and everything related to Sister Qin were good, including Jia Dongxu.

Seeing his look, Yang Ning wanted to give him a few more instructions, but at this time Yan Jiefang's voice came from the yard.

"Everyone is out. Director Wang is here for the meeting."

"Let's go and see what's going on."

Hearing that there was going to be a meeting, Yang Ning had to give up, hoping that He Yuzhu could pay more attention. Then he stood up and walked outside with He Yuzhu.

"Brother! Brother Ning!" At this time, He Yushui also pulled Erguai out. After seeing He Yuzhu and Yang Ning, he greeted them. "Well, Yushui, don't go. Go back to your room and do your homework."

After seeing He Yushui, He Yuzhu asked her to go back to the house.

Yang Ning also picked up the second monster who was happily following He Yushui: "Okay, your sister Yushui still has to do her homework, I'll take you home first."

Yang Ning didn't want the second monster to stay in the middle yard any longer, so he carried her to the front yard first.

On the way, Yang Ning ran into Director Wang who was talking to the third uncle. He smiled and said hello: "Director Wang, what's going on today?"

It was just a polite remark, but Director Wang unexpectedly responded enthusiastically after seeing Yang Ning: "Ningzi is here too? I do have something to do today, so it's great that you're at home."

In fact, Director Wang was also very depressed. Just after she finished lunch at noon today, she was called to the district. After arriving at the district, several people in uniform asked her about Yang Ning's family situation, and she told them everything.

Including the matters of the Yang and Jia families, as well as the matter of the Yang family returning their house to the Lou family a few days ago, he told everything without reservation.

After the uniformed men took notes, they said something to the district leader, who then told her to resolve the issues between the Yang and Jia families as soon as possible.

That's why she came here tonight.

She finally figured it out. There might really be a dragon in their area, but unfortunately it couldn't live there for long.

But no matter what, she couldn't let anything happen to the Yang family before they moved away.

She also considered that Yang Ning's identity needed to be kept secret, so she did not come with a big fanfare and only brought a few militiamen.

If there was really something wrong, Director Wang could only let Jia Dongxu go to the street to calm down for a few days and release him after the Yang family moved away.

"Then Director Wang is busy now. I'll send the second monster back first and I'll be there later."

Although Yang Ning felt strange about Director Wang's attitude, he still replied with a smile, then nodded to the third uncle and carried the second weirdo back to the house.

The third uncle looked at Yang Ning's back, thinking about Director Wang's attitude towards him just now. He seemed to have thought of something, his expression changed slightly, and then he quickly put it away.

"Don't ask too much, don't pry too much, those who are curious will be set on fire."

The third uncle silently recited a few warning words in his mind and regained his calm.

When Yang Ning followed his father Yang Dagen to the central courtyard, many people had already arrived. Yang Ning also saw Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu.

Yang Ning discovered that the couple seemed to look much better than before, especially Qin Huairu, who had become a lot rounder in just a few days' absence.

Jia Dongxu no longer had the crazy energy he had a few days ago. After seeing Yang Ning's gaze, he quickly looked away and was in much better spirits than before.

"It seems that the death of Jia Zhang is a blessing in disguise for the Jia family."

"Is everyone here?"

Director Wang stood in the middle of the yard, followed by three militiamen carrying Type 38 rifles.

Director Wang looked around and asked the three uncles sitting in the front row.
