Siheyuan: The eldest brother of the He family, abuses Shazhu at the beginning

Yan Jiecheng gently patted Lou Xiao'e on the shoulder, telling her not to worry. "Tell me, I will do my best to help you," he encouraged.

Lou Xiao'e buried her head in her hands for a long time before she spoke. "My grandfather has recently fallen seriously ill, and the medical expenses are getting higher and higher. Our family is really in financial difficulty." Her voice was a little choked with sobs.

Yan Jiecheng looked at Lou Xiaoe deeply, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart. "Is that so? Things at home are indeed annoying, but don't worry, I will help you find a solution." He said firmly.

After hearing these words, Lou Xiao'e felt a warm current in her heart. "Thank you, Brother Yan, I really appreciate it." Tears flashed in her eyes.

Yan Jiecheng smiled and reached out to gently wipe away the tears on Lou Xiaoe's face. "You're welcome. We are neighbors and friends. It's only natural for us to help each other." His voice was full of warmth and care.

Lou Xiao'e felt Yan Jiecheng's sincerity and kindness, and the troubles in her heart seemed to become less heavy. "Brother Yan, thank you, I will remember your kindness." She held Yan Jiecheng's hand vigorously, her eyes full of gratitude.

Yan Jiecheng smiled and gently patted Lou Xiaoe's hand. "You're welcome, as long as you're happy." There was a hint of relief and satisfaction in his voice.

Lou Xiao'e sat in the courtyard of the quadrangle, holding a crumpled piece of paper in her hand, with worries written all over her face. She was very nervous and didn't know who to turn to for help.

"Brother Yan, are you there?" She carefully knocked on her neighbor Yan Jiecheng's door.

The door opened and a friendly smile appeared at the door, "Ms. Lou, is there anything I can help you with?" Yan Jiecheng asked.

Lou Xiao'e walked into the yard hesitantly and sat on the chair opposite Yan Jiecheng. "Brother Yan, I've been in some trouble recently and I don't know what to do." Her voice was a little anxious.

Yan Jiecheng listened quietly and motioned Lou Xiao'e to continue.

"There is some problem with the wall of my house and it needs to be repaired, but our family is not well off and the cost of repair is very high. I really don't know what to do." Lou Xiao'e said in a low voice.

Yan Jiecheng pondered for a while, then said, "This is indeed a troublesome problem, but it is not without a solution. You can discuss with other neighbors and see if you can raise funds to repair the wall."

Lou Xiao'e nodded, "Yes, this method can be tried." She felt that the annoyance in her heart was slightly relieved.

"Also, you can also look for some decoration teams or workers to see if you can find one at a suitable price," Yan Jiecheng added.

"Well, I'll try." Lou Xiao'e looked at Yan Jiecheng gratefully, "Thank you, Brother Yan, you always give me some advice."

Yan Jiecheng smiled and said, "Neighbors should help each other. If you have any difficulties, you can come to me at any time."

Lou Xiao'e nodded, feeling grateful. "I'll remember that, Brother Yan." She stood up, wiped the tears from her eyes, and smiled again.

Lou Xiao'e sat in the yard, thinking about the predicament. The cost of repairing the wall was far beyond their family's ability to bear, and she felt at a loss. At this time, Yan Jiecheng came over and saw Lou Xiao'e's distressed expression.

"Ms. Lou, you look like you're in a bad mood. Is there any difficulty?" Yan Jiecheng walked up to her and asked with concern.

Lou Xiao'e raised her head and looked at Yan Jiecheng standing in front of her, and she felt a little comforted. "Brother Yan, it's like this..." She told Yan Jiecheng about the repair of the courtyard wall.

Yan Jiecheng listened quietly and thought for a while. "This is indeed a difficult problem, but I think you can think about it carefully. Maybe there are other solutions."

Lou Xiao'e raised her head slightly, with a hint of hope in her eyes, "Do you have any suggestions, Brother Yan?"

Yan Jiecheng smiled slightly and said, "I think you can discuss it with other neighbors first to see what they think about it. Maybe we can brainstorm and find a better solution."

Lou Xiao'e nodded and said, "This method seems good." She began to feel that the problem was not unsolvable.

"In addition, you can also find some professional decoration teams or workers and ask for their opinions and quotations." Yan Jiecheng continued to give her advice.

Lou Xiao'e's heart brightened when she heard this suggestion. "This is a good idea." She felt her mood start to improve.

Yan Jiecheng looked at Lou Xiaoe and said with a smile: "So, you see, it's not that there is no solution to the problem. As long as you think about it carefully, you will always find a solution."

Lou Xiao'e looked at Yan Jiecheng deeply, her heart full of gratitude towards him. "Thank you, Brother Yan, you always give me some advice."

Yan Jiecheng waved his hand and said, "Neighbors should help each other. If you have any difficulties, you can come to me at any time."

Lou Xiao'e was filled with gratitude, "I'll remember it, Brother Yan." She stood up and a smile appeared on her face again, as if she had seen hope again.

In a corner of the courtyard, He Yuliang and his wife Ran Qiuye sat together, talking face to face, with a hint of heaviness and helplessness on their faces.

"Qiu Ye, our relationship has come to this point." He Yuliang's voice was low and firm, "Maybe we should really consider divorce."

Ran Qiuye felt a pang of pain in his heart after hearing these words. They had gone through so many ups and downs for so many years, and experienced countless setbacks and challenges, but now, they seemed to have reached the end.

"Yuliang, do you really think divorce is the only way out?" Ran Qiuye's voice was filled with pleading and reluctance, "We still have so many memories between us, are we just going to give up like this?"

He Yuliang was silent for a while, then sighed softly. "I don't want to do this either, but the problems between us can no longer be solved. Perhaps separation is the best choice for both of us."

Ran Qiuye couldn't stop her tears from flowing down. "But we still have children. What about them? How can they face all this?"

He Yuliang held Ran Qiuye's hand tightly, trying to comfort her. "I will do my best to protect them and prevent them from being affected too much. We can separate peacefully and raise the children together."

Ran Qiuye nodded silently, her heart filled with helplessness and bitterness. They used to love each other so much, but the cruel reality forced them to face it all.

"Perhaps divorce is not a bad thing." He Yuliang tried hard to give himself and his wife a relief, "Perhaps this way, we can find our own happiness."

Ran Qiuye raised her head, with a glimmer of determination in her eyes. "You're right, maybe this is the best choice." She tried to accept this reality, even though her heart was filled with endless sadness and regret.

The decision to divorce was not an easy one for He Yuliang and Ran Qiuye, but they finally made this difficult decision. Their son died in a car accident, and their daughter-in-law left the family, causing their relationship to become increasingly distant. He Yuliang had to take on the responsibility of facing everything alone.
