Siheyuan: How the Little People Live

The two men came to the front yard, but found it deserted, especially the door god of the Red Star Courtyard. The third uncle Yan Bu was not at the door. Ye Wenwu was very surprised.

However, Ye Wenwu did not think too much about it. He parked the car at the door and the two of them walked into the house carrying the vegetables.

Before I reached the door of the house, I heard crying and comforting voices from inside.

When cousin Zhang Xingbang heard the crying sound inside, he felt familiar and ran in quickly. Ye Wenwu also hurriedly followed behind.

I saw my cousin's wife sitting on a bench crying, with a red slap mark on her face.

The three aunts at the side were trying to comfort them with an unpleasant look on their faces. When they saw Ye Wenwu and the others coming back, their faces became even uglier.

"Who dares to hit you, wife? I'm going to kill him."

Cousin Zhang Xianbang also put down the food in his hand, ran over and hugged his wife, wiped the tears from his wife's face with his hands, and said with a fierce look in his eyes.

Ye Wenwu frowned. He couldn't imagine how someone would attack his cousin's wife when she just arrived. However, he had an idea in his mind, but he still needed the third aunt to confirm it. He turned to look at the third aunt and said:

"Auntie, what on earth happened?"

The third aunt hesitated, rubbed her hands constantly, and her eyes were wandering.

Ye Wenwu sighed. Generally, people in the compound would give face to the Third Aunt, but there was only one person in the Hongjin Siheyuan who didn't give face to anyone, and that was Jia Zhang from the Jia family in the middle courtyard of the Hongxing Siheyuan.

Generally speaking, if Jia Zhang bullied someone, no one would necessarily help that person to deal with Jia Zhang. After all, Jia Zhang would sometimes be like a mad dog and would bite anyone he caught. Anyone who helped would also be bitten. In the end, no one would bother with Jia Zhang.

But Jia Zhang usually stayed in her own yard and seldom went to other yards. This was the front yard, so it couldn't be that she had come here on her own initiative.

"Third Aunt, is this Jia Zhang?"

As for why I didn't ask my cousin's wife, the first reason was that my cousin's wife had just come here and met these people, and the second reason was that my cousin's wife was very sad, so it was inappropriate for me to ask at this time.

The third aunt finally breathed a sigh of relief. She felt that although it was her child's father who asked her to come and take care of Ye Wenwu's cousin's wife, and she did take care of her, the fact that his cousin's wife was beaten was none of her business. Anyway, she had stopped it at that time. If she had to mention Jia Zhang's name and offend Jia Zhang, she was still unwilling to do so.

"Okay, Auntie, I'm sorry to bother you. You can go back. I see everyone has gotten off work. I guess your family hasn't prepared dinner yet. I won't keep you here for dinner."

Ye Wenwu directly ordered him to leave. Although Third Aunt took care of his cousin's wife and maybe she also stopped Jia Zhang, or maybe she didn't stop her at all, when he asked her who beat her, Third Aunt did not answer, which meant that Third Aunt was not on his side. It would be better to send him back than to keep him here.

As for dragging the third aunt to the yard to prove that Jia Zhang beat her cousin's wife, but the third aunt didn't even dare to say Jia Zhang's name, how could she have the courage to prove that it was Jia Zhang who beat her cousin's wife? Forget it.

Besides, Ye Wenwu doesn't need this so-called evidence at all. If today's matter is left unresolved, their Ye family will be bullied by others from now on.

Moreover, if this matter is not handled properly and is suppressed, there will be a gap in the relationship between me and my cousin and his wife, although they will understand me.

The third aunt glanced at Ye Wenwu and ran out in a hurry. She wanted to go back and tell her old man. Ye Wenwu and the others came back, and they also knew that Jia Zhang had beaten someone.

"Cousin, calm down. I will give you an answer today. And I will cripple the hand that Jia Zhang used to hit you. Then you can go up and slap him 10 times. I will see who dares to object."

Ye Wenwu said this coldly, and after he finished speaking with disgust, he realized that he didn't know when he had become so decisive and ruthless. In the past, these words were just fantasies in his mind, but he didn't expect that he would dare to say them out loud today.

Zhang Xingbang felt a pain in his heart when he saw his wife's sad face, but this was not his village. If it was his village, he would have picked up a stick and fought with the other party. If he didn't break the other party's bones, he would not be worthy of the surname Zhang.

But this place is different, this is where my cousin Zhang Xingbang lives, especially my cousin told me about the situation on the way, and this old man who is in charge of this courtyard is obviously the person in charge, but my cousin has offended this person. Now he wants to beat the mother of his apprentice in this courtyard, and everyone knows who he will favor.

"Wenwu, this matter has caused you trouble, why don't you just forget it."

Zhang Xingbang's eyes were red, but his cousin's wife also knew the situation. It might be that the third aunt told her cousin's wife Liu Mei about the situation at home at that time and the distribution of power in the compound. She said sadly with red eyes:

"Cousin, my cousin's wife is fine. She was just slapped. Besides, this kind of thing is very common in the countryside. It's unnecessary."

Ye Wenwu sighed heavily. He knew that his cousin and his wife were doing this for his own good. Unfortunately, this kind of thing was not a matter of letting it go. Maybe it was just a test from others. If he didn't respond, he would seem a bit cowardly.

"Cousin, you also know that I have offended the people in the compound, but it's okay if I offend these people. I don't rely on them for a living. What's more, if I don't fight back with thunder today, they may think that I, Ye Wenwu, am easy to bully. Then everyone will step on me, and I will be passive."

"So this is not just about revenge for you, my cousin and his wife, but also about showing everyone that my Ye family is not easy to bully."

After hearing Ye Wenwu's explanation, the cousin and his wife looked at each other and then felt relieved.

If their cousin Ye Wenwu followed their advice and agreed, they would not say anything in their hearts, but they would always feel sad.

"What happened to your cousin's wife? Why did Jia Zhang come to the front yard and beat you up?"

Ye Wenwu still wanted to know the whole process. After all, Fei Zhang and the others were easy to deal with, but Yi Zhonghai and the others were not so easy to fool. If he didn't even know the whole process, he would be easily fooled by them.

In this way, he felt more confident when he took action himself. Originally, he was in the right, and he didn't believe that it was his cousin's wife who took action first. The key point was that he didn't lose a little time.
