Siheyuan: Game of Red Dust

Chapter 123 Return to the Siheyuan and see the whole courtyard meeting again

Lou Xiao'e stuck out her tongue embarrassedly.

Lou's mother said, "Alas! After something like this happened, it's going to be hard for young men of similar age in our courtyard to find a partner. If people come here and find out about this kind of thing happening in our courtyard, they'll be afraid their children will be bullied. It's so embarrassing!"

"Yes, I guess it will be difficult for Yan Jiecheng and others to find wives, and it will not be easy for He Yushui to get married either. After all, the impact of this incident is too bad." Li Weidong said.

"In the past two days, people in the courtyard were pointed at when they went out. Now that there is nothing to do, no one in the courtyard wants to go out." Lou's mother said.

Li Weidong frowned and said to Lou's mother, "Aunt Tan, Xiao'e will stay with you tonight. When you leave tomorrow, let Xiao'e stay at my place. We can't live in this courtyard anymore. If things continue like this, who knows how many rumors will arise!"

"Yes, let Xiao'e go to your place. We will feel at ease knowing you are taking care of us." Lou's mother said with a smile.

Just then, a call for a meeting of the entire school was heard outside.

Li Weidong followed Lou's mother and Lou Xiao'e out to see what was going on at today's all-staff meeting. Li Weidong guessed it was about Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu.

After a while, everyone in the courtyard came together, and the second uncle Liu Haizhong stood up and said:
"Today's meeting of the entire courtyard is because of the matter between Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu. Now, when people from our courtyard go out, they are pointed at and criticized by others. It has already affected our lives. This time, the meeting of the entire courtyard is for me and the third uncle to gather everyone together to discuss how we can resolve this matter."

At this time, the third uncle Yan Fugui also said: "This incident has a very bad impact. Now they are pointing fingers at the residents in our courtyard, which has seriously affected our normal life.

If this continues to expand, it will be a problem for the children in our yard to find a partner. It will be very difficult to find a partner because once people ask around and find out that there is such a person in our yard, they will not agree to marry their children to us, or to marry the girls from our yard.

My second uncle and I are thinking that the situation hasn't fully fermented yet. I think it's not that serious. Let's gather everyone together to brainstorm and find a way to resolve this matter. Whether it's for ourselves or for the children, this matter must be resolved."

Everyone in the courtyard started talking. Some didn't think long-term, figuring that after a few days, things would be over and they could live their lives normally. But after the second and third uncles finished speaking, they started to get worried. Now it wasn't just about them, it was also about their children. What if they didn't resolve this and their children couldn't find a partner in the future? They couldn't afford to gamble!

He Yuzhu and He Yushui stood at the door of their house, watching the discussions and scolding of people in the yard.

"Silly brother, what should we do?" He Yushui asked.

"What should we do?" He Yuzhu said absentmindedly.

"Didn't you hear what the second and third uncles said? If you continue living in this courtyard, you won't be able to find a wife, and I won't be able to get married either. What are you thinking?" He Yushui said unhappily.

"Aren't they trying to find a solution? They can't think of one, so I can solve it by myself? Let's wait and see. If there is really no other way, I will ask the factory leaders to see if they can help us move to another house." He Yuzhu said.

"Forget it? It's useless. In this situation, who would exchange houses with us? People are not fools. Who would come to live in such a compound?" He Yushui said unhappily. After that, He Yushui casually glanced at the scene and saw Li Lidong, Lou Xiaoe and the other two behind the crowd.

He Yushui said to He Yuzhu, "Silly brother, Brother Weidong is here. I'll go ask Brother Weidong." After that, he ignored He Yuzhu and walked directly to where Li Weidong was. Before He Yuzhu could react, He Yushui ran to Li Weidong.

"Brother Weidong, how come you have time to come here today?" He Yushui said with a smile.

"Oh, Yu Shui, your sister Xiao'e's father called me today and asked me to arrange to send Aunt Tan to Hong Kong. I will come to see how Aunt Tan is packing tonight?" Li Weidong said.

"Auntie Tan, are you going to Hong Kong?" He Yushui asked Lou's mother.

Mother Lou smiled and said to He Yushui, "Yes, your Uncle Lou might not be able to adapt to being outside by himself, so she asked me to take care of him. That's what men are like. When we come back, I'll bring you a gift."

He Yushui chatted with Lou's mother for a while before asking Li Weidong, "Brother Weidong, how do you think we can solve this problem in our hospital?"

Li Weidong pondered for a moment and said, "The best solution is to move away. Once you move away, all the problems will be gone. Secondly, you should all jointly go to the street office or the steel mill and ask them to solve the problem. You can't solve it by holding a meeting. Can you really stop people from talking? Don't be ridiculous. The street office and the steel mill can't solve it, so you can just hold a meeting?

In fact, there are only two possible outcomes if you contact the steel rolling mill and the street office. The first outcome is that Qin Huairu and Yi Zhonghai move out. However, the problem with this outcome is that other courtyards are unwilling to accept people like them. Unless they find a small independent house, this outcome is difficult to achieve.

The second outcome is that the steel mill and the neighborhood office will jointly explain to the surrounding courtyards that this has little to do with you. However, this will only treat the symptoms, not the root cause. They may not point fingers at you in the near future, but they will still discuss it privately.

That's basically it, unless you make a big deal out of it and make them both examples. Then the neighborhood office and the steel mill will punish them severely, and they'll probably end up either shot or incarcerated. And then you won't fare well either, as they'll be remembered by them."

Li Weidong carefully told He Yushui the results of his analysis.

"Brother Weidong, what should we do?" After listening to Li Weidong's analysis, He Yushui found that there was no way to deal with it, so he could only ask Li Weidong anxiously.

"Didn't I tell you? The easiest way for you is to move away. Once you move away, nothing will be your problem." Li Weidong said casually.

"But will anyone exchange houses with us?" He Yushui asked doubtfully.

"No, no one knows about this and will change your house. But if you want to live a peaceful life in the future, it's better to move out. You can rent a house first. You will not lose your house if you keep it here. It's just that you have to pay an extra fee every month for rent. The rent should not be a big problem for you." Li Weidong said.

He Yushui nodded, thought for a moment, and said to Li Weidong, "Brother Weidong, I'll go discuss it with my brother first, and then I'll come talk to you later."

"Okay, go do your thing, I'll be back soon." Li Weidong said.
