Siheyuan: How the Little People Live

So this is what happened.

Originally, Ye Wenwu and Zhang Jinbao had told their cousin Liu Mei that they would not be back for lunch, so Liu Mei heated up the leftovers from last night at noon.

Before my cousin's wife sat down to eat, I heard a knock on the door.

When my cousin’s wife Liu Mei opened the door, she saw a child, looking at the things on the table with greedy eyes.

My cousin Liu Mei originally thought that she couldn't finish all the food by herself, so she was going to ask the child to eat with her. However, she didn't expect the child to walk right past her, grab the food with his hands and put it into his mouth.

How could my cousin's wife Liu Mei let this child be abused like this? She was originally going to invite him to eat together, out of instinct and motherly sympathy, but when she saw this child being so unruly, she naturally lost all sympathy and good face.

You have to know that Liu Mei is also a girl who grew up in the countryside. She usually works in the fields. She has a lot of strength in her hands. She just grabbed the child's ear and threw him out of the door, then closed the door and ate it herself.

Unexpectedly, after a while, the child came over with his grandmother to make a fuss.

My cousin Liu Mei had never seen such symptoms before and was so scared that she didn't even dare to come out.

The child's grandmother had been making a fuss at Ye Wenwu's door for a long time, but when she saw that Liu Mei didn't come out, she stopped and sat there waiting.

My cousin's wife Liu Mei sat at home for a whole afternoon. She couldn't hold her urine any longer. Besides, there was no more noise outside, so she secretly opened the door and prepared to pee.

Just as she came out, she was caught by Jia Zhang who was hiding nearby. She hit Liu Mei with a big punch and she was stunned.

Then she grabbed Liu Mei's hair and pressed her to the ground. Fortunately, the third aunt was also paying attention to Ye Wenwu's situation at this moment. He did not expect Liu Mei to come out. Seeing Jia Zhang being pressed to the ground, she remembered her husband's instructions and hurried over to pull the two apart.

In addition, it was almost time for the Red Star Steel Mill to get off work. Since the Red Star Primary School got off work earlier than the Red Star Steel Mill started, the third uncle Yan Bugui got off work early and saw this scene, which scared Jia Zhang back.

Zhang Xingbang was furious when he thought about his wife being pinned to the ground, slapped, and then ridden on by an old woman.

The same was true for Ye Wenwu. Jia Zhang ran to the door of his house and made a fuss for a long time, but no one came to persuade and help the whole afternoon. So don't blame Ye Wenwu for not remembering the favors in the compound.

"Cousin, come with me. I want to see how arrogant Mrs. Jia is. Now I want to seek justice for my cousin."

After saying that, Ye Wenwu and the other three came out of the room and prepared to go to the central courtyard. However, the porch of the central courtyard was connected to the west wing, which was close to the third uncle Yan Bugui.

. . . . . .

At this time, the third uncle Yan Bugui's family,

"Didn't I tell you? You have to take care of Ye Wenwu's cousin's wife. Look how you take care of her. It took me a lot of effort to get in touch with Ye Wenwu."

"Are you so afraid of Jia Zhang and the uncle? I am also an uncle in charge, so what if I offend them? They can't bring money to our family. You know Ye Wenwu is generous. He gave 5 yuan for borrowing the car and brought 5 taels of meat to our family. You are really blinded by lard."

The third uncle Yan Bugui's face turned red, and he looked at his old wife in front of him with a look of disappointment.

When I left, I gave everyone clear instructions, and reminded them again and again to take good care of my cousin's wife and make sure nothing happened to her. But in the end, something still happened. How can I put my face aside?

Your wife has her own thoughts. It’s okay that you didn’t take care of her, but the key point is that you at least broke up the fight. When Ye Wenwu asked you who hit him, you didn’t say anything. So wasn’t all your efforts in vain?

As expected, as a woman, she can never accomplish anything great. No wonder the ancients always said that a woman has long hair but little knowledge.

"The child's father, what should we do? How about we go and testify to Ye Wenwu?"

The third aunt was a little flustered. She had not expected that Ye Wenwu had such an important position in her husband's heart.

"What else can we do? Now we can only wait and see if they are willing to forgive our family. Unfortunately, all our previous efforts have been in vain. Alas!"

"Mother, I'm telling you, you should not have too much contact with them in the future. Originally, our family could have been more accommodating, but this incident forced our family to make a clear statement. If we help Ye Wenwu and his family today, it means that we have torn our faces with Lao Yi and his family in front of everyone. So don't think about it for no reason in the future, just listen to others."

The three aunts were also frightened and nodded quickly.

Just then, the two of them saw from the window that Ye Wenwei was coming to the central courtyard. The third uncle Yan Bugui quickly pulled the third aunt, opened the door and ran over.

"Wenwu, I'm really sorry. I didn't expect your third aunt to make the decision on her own. I gave her many instructions. Look..."

Now I am in front of the three uncles and aunts, because I don't have the energy to argue with them now,

"Uncle, this is our family's business. His mother was the one who started the fight. We haven't had time to get rid of it yet. How can we blame you? If there's nothing else, we'll leave first."

The third uncle Yan Bugui was shocked when he heard this, as the words clearly showed a sense of alienation.

I had been thinking about whether I could go back in time, but now I have to force myself to express my stance in order to get Ye Wenwu and the others to forgive me.

It was equivalent to not returning, gritted his teeth and said:

"Wenwu, Jia Zhang was wrong in this matter. Your third aunt and I have proved it. Even if Old Yi comes back, I will have to talk to him. We can't let a bad apple spoil the whole pot of soup."

After hearing what Third Uncle Yan Bugui said, Ye Wenwu knew that Third Uncle Yan Bugui was on his side. A slight smile appeared on his angry face and he nodded to Third Uncle Yan Bugui.

"Uncle, Aunt, thank you for your help. Let's go to Jia's house and check the situation."

Seeing Ye Wenwu receiving him, Third Uncle Yan Bugui breathed a sigh of relief, and then said to his cousin Liu Mei with some apology:

"Xiaomei, I'm sorry."

Cousin's wife Liu Mei quickly waved her hands. After all, he still had to thank the third aunt for her help.

"Uncle, it's okay, it's okay. I also want to thank Auntie for helping me. If it weren't for Auntie, I might still be bullied by that crazy woman."

Seeing that Liu Mei did not blame him, the third uncle Yan Bugui just glared at his wife fiercely, and the five of them walked towards the central courtyard.
