Chapter 243 Crowded

He walked to the teahouse on the corner, sat down, ordered a cup of tea, and drank it quietly. The teahouse was bustling with people, but Wang Qiang felt that he was somewhat out of tune with this world. He thought to himself: Maybe I should leave this courtyard temporarily and go out to see the world. A change of environment might make him feel better.

Just as he was lost in thought, Bai Rong suddenly appeared in front of him. She sat down with a smile and asked with concern, "Wang Qiang, why are you sitting here in a daze alone?"

Wang Qiang forced a smile and said, "Nothing, I just felt a little tired recently, so I came out to relax."

Bai Rong nodded, was silent for a while, and then said: "I can understand your feelings. Xu Damao's matter is indeed a headache, but you have done a good job, and everyone is grateful to you."

Wang Qiang smiled bitterly and said, "What's the use of being grateful? I just feel more and more tired."

Bai Rong reached out and held Wang Qiang's hand, and said softly: "Wang Qiang, you are not alone. We will all support you. Don't take all the responsibility on your shoulders."

Wang Qiang felt warm inside, nodded and said, "Thank you, Bai Rong. I will think about it again and see what to do."

After returning to the courtyard, Wang Qiang felt that he still couldn't completely let go of the burden in his heart. He decided to put Xu Damao's problem aside for the time being and deal with his own affairs first. So he began to devote more energy to his work and life, trying to distract himself by being busy.

However, Xu Damao's problem did not disappear. A few days later, Wang Qiang found that Xu Damao was doing something in the yard again. Although he was not as arrogant as before, he still made people feel uneasy. Neighbors began to complain to Wang Qiang, hoping that he could come forward to solve the problem again.

Wang Qiang felt helpless. He really didn't want to get involved in these trivial matters, but the expectations of his neighbors made it impossible for him to stay out of it. He knew that he had become the backbone of this courtyard, and everyone relied on him to maintain order. He sighed inwardly and decided to talk to Xu Damao first to see if the problem could be solved through communication.

One evening, Wang Qiang asked Xu Damao to meet him in the pavilion in the yard. After they sat down, Wang Qiang said bluntly: "Xu Damao, we need to talk."

Xu Damao said impatiently: "What is there to talk about? I didn't do anything bad."

Wang Qiang said calmly: "Xu Damao, I know you may not like me, but we live in the same yard, so we should always understand and respect each other. Some of your recent behaviors have affected others, and I hope you can restrain yourself."

Xu Damao frowned and said, "You always say this to me, but I also have my own way of life. Why should I listen to you?"

Wang Qiang sighed and said, "Xu Damao, we are not on opposing sides. I just hope that everyone can get along in harmony. If you continue like this, it will only make everyone more and more dissatisfied, and you will be the one who suffers in the end."

Xu Damao was silent for a while, as if thinking about Wang Qiang's words. After a while, he finally said, "Okay, I will try my best to change it, but you have to understand me. I don't mean to cause trouble."

Wang Qiang nodded and said, "I understand, but I hope you can really do it. We all hope that Siheyuan can become a harmonious big family."

After the conversation, Wang Qiang felt relieved, but still a little tired. He knew that solving Xu Damao's problem would not happen overnight, and it would require more patience and wisdom.

In the following days, Wang Qiang continued to be busy with his work while paying attention to the movements in the yard. He found that Xu Damao had indeed restrained himself, but he would still make some small moves from time to time, which was very annoying. Wang Qiang sighed inwardly and decided to take some more powerful measures.

One night, Wang Qiang met He Yuzhu in the yard. He Yuzhu smiled and asked, "Boy, how are you doing recently? Is Xu Damao causing trouble again?"

Wang Qiang smiled helplessly and said, "He has calmed down a bit, but there are still many problems. I feel like I can't hold on any longer."

He Yuzhu patted his shoulder and encouraged him, "Don't be discouraged, let's find a solution together. Although Xu Damao is stubborn, there is always a way to deal with him."

Wang Qiang nodded, feeling a little warm in his heart. He knew that he was not fighting alone, and he had the support of He Yuzhu and other neighbors. He decided to give Xu Damao another chance to see if he could make him change completely through more communication and cooperation.

One day, Wang Qiang made another appointment with Xu Damao. This time, he prepared a detailed plan, listing the opinions and suggestions of everyone in the courtyard, hoping to promote Xu Damao's change through collective strength. Seeing Wang Qiang's serious attitude, Xu Damao finally began to waver and expressed his willingness to give it a try.

In the next few days, Wang Qiang and Xu Damao held a meeting to discuss how to improve the environment and atmosphere of the courtyard. Although there were some frictions and disagreements in the process, everyone finally reached a consensus and decided to work together to make the courtyard more harmonious and beautiful.

Wang Qiang felt relieved when he saw everyone united. He knew that there was still a long way to go, but as long as everyone worked together, Siheyuan would become better and better. And he himself would continue to grow in the process and find true peace and satisfaction.

The morning sun shone in the courtyard, covering everything with a golden glow. Wang Qiang and He Yuzhu agreed to go to the market to buy eggs and meat. They talked and laughed along the way, and the atmosphere was relaxed and happy.

He Yuzhu looked at Wang Qiang beside him and asked, "How are you feeling recently? Do you feel more relaxed?"

Wang Qiang smiled and nodded: "Yeah, it's indeed a lot easier. Although Xu Damao still makes some small moves, his attitude has improved a lot overall. The key is everyone's support, which makes me feel that I am not fighting alone."

He Yuzhu patted Wang Qiang on the shoulder and said with a smile: "That's right. We should shoulder the responsibilities of our yard together. You are exhausted, and we all see it."

The two soon arrived at the market, which was crowded and bustling. Various stalls were filled with fresh vegetables, fruits and meat, and the air was filled with the aroma of various foods. Wang Qiang and He Yuzhu shuttled between the stalls, picking out what they needed.

"Wang Qiang, the eggs here are good, would you like to take a look?" He Yuzhu asked, pointing to a stall.

Wang Qiang walked over, looked at the eggs, nodded and said, "Well, these eggs look very fresh, let's buy some."
