Chapter 140 I Just Hope I Can Help
Life in the courtyard gradually returned to its former tranquility and harmony. The relationship between He Yuliang and Huaihua also became closer during this collaboration, and they became important pillars in each other's lives.
The morning sun shines through the stone path of the courtyard, onto the green flowers and plants, bringing a breath of fresh air. He Yuliang arrived at Jia Dongxu's door early, holding a letter from home in his hand, his heart full of anticipation and anxiety.
"Brother Jia, good morning!" He Yuliang knocked on the door gently.
After a while, the door was opened and a middle-aged man appeared at the door. He was Jia Dongxu, an enthusiastic resident of the courtyard and a good friend of He Yuliang.
"Yuliang, why are you here so early?" Jia Dongxu greeted him with a smile.
He Yuliang walked into the yard and handed over the letter. "Brother Jia, this is the letter you sent me this morning. I think the content is a bit strange. I would like to ask you to help me take a look."
Jia Dongxu took the letter and read the contents, a hint of doubt gradually appeared on his face. He frowned and handed the letter back to He Yuliang, "This letter is indeed a little strange, but don't worry too much. Maybe it's just some things at home."
He Yuliang took the letter and pondered for a moment, still feeling a little uneasy. He knew that what Jia Dongxu said made sense, but he always felt that the content mentioned in the letter was a little unusual.
"Maybe you're right." He Yuliang took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner anxiety, "I will discuss this with my family when I get back."
Jia Dongxu patted He Yuliang on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, don't worry too much. We are here and will support you at any time."
He Yuliang smiled slightly, and the doubts in his heart gradually dissipated. He knew that in this courtyard, there were many warm-hearted neighbors who would face the challenges of life together and meet the challenges of the future together.
The relaxed chat between He Yuliang and Jia Dongxu was interrupted by a sharp shout. The yard was silent, with only Jia Mu's excited voice echoing in the air.
"Xiaoying, come out here! Who are you and that man?!" Jia Mu's voice was filled with anger and anxiety.
He Yuliang and Jia Dongxu exchanged glances and realized that this matter seemed to be more complicated than they had imagined.
Jia Dongxu quickly stood up and pulled He Yuliang to follow the sound. In a corner of the yard, Jia Xiaoying was standing there, her face horrified and at a loss.
"Mom, don't scare Xiaoying." Jia Dongxu walked forward and tried to calm Grandmother Jia's emotions.
Grandmother Jia was furious. "Dongxu, how can you make such a light statement? Xiaoying was fooling around with a strange man in the yard at night! Do you know what this means to a girl?!"
He Yuliang saw the fear on Jia Xiaoying's face, and he couldn't help but feel sympathy. He knew that as a girl, she must feel very scared and helpless in such a situation.
"Mrs. Jia, calm down first." He Yuliang stepped forward and tried to ease the atmosphere. "Maybe the situation is not as serious as you think."
Grandmother Jia looked at He Yuliang, her eyes full of anger, "Who are you? What right do you have to speak like that?!"
He Yuliang was forced by Jia's mother's gaze, but he did not back down, "I am He Yuliang, Jia Dongxu and I are friends. I just think that maybe there is some misunderstanding."
When Jia Mu heard what He Yuliang said, she frowned, but stopped scolding. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. "I'm just worried about Xiaoying. She's a girl and always makes me worry."
When Jia Xiaoying heard her mother's words, she couldn't stop her tears from flowing down. She lowered her head and said in a trembling voice, "Mom, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."
When Jia's mother saw her daughter's appearance, the anger in her heart gradually dissipated. She walked forward and hugged Jia Xiaoying, "Silly child, Mom is just worried about you. You should be more careful in the future."
Jia Xiaoying nodded and wiped away her tears. She knew her mother was doing this for her own good, but she still felt guilty.
He Yuliang looked at this scene with a lot of emotion in his heart. He understood that family was the most important support, and the deep affection between Jia Xiaoying and Jia's mother also made him feel a kind of warmth.
Jia Dongxu was relieved to see the mother and daughter reconcile. He knew that although there were some misunderstandings, as long as everyone could be honest with each other, everything would be solved.
He Yuliang looked at Jia Xiaoying's depressed expression, and a feeling of powerlessness surged in his heart. He knew that Jia Xiaoying's situation was not easy. She was a kind and innocent girl, but she was often misunderstood and accused by others because of some misunderstandings.
"Auntie Jia, I would like you to listen to me." He Yuliang stood up, hoping to help Jia Xiaoying out of the predicament.
Grandmother Jia turned around and frowned, "Are you here to cause trouble again?"
He Yuliang shook his head, "Mother Jia, I'm not here to cause trouble. I just want you to listen to me, maybe it can clear up some misunderstandings."
Grandmother Jia looked at He Yuliang and, seeing his sincere attitude, nodded and motioned for him to continue.
He Yuliang took a deep breath and began to explain, "Actually, I was nearby last night. I saw Xiaoying and that man in the yard, but I didn't think they were 'fooling around'."
When Jia's mother heard this, the anger on her face eased a little, "You mean, they are just in the yard?"
He Yuliang nodded, "Yes. I thought, maybe they just happened to be in the same place."
Jia's mother pondered for a moment and seemed to start reconsidering the matter. She turned to Jia Xiaoying and asked, "Xiaoying, what's going on between you and that man?"
Jia Xiaoying raised her head, her eyes full of grievance and confusion, "Mom, I really just happened to meet him, we didn't do anything."
Grandmother Jia was silent for a while, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, since you said it's nothing, then I will believe you this time."
When Jia Xiaoying heard her mother's forgiveness, she felt relieved. She quickly expressed her gratitude to He Yuliang, "Thank you, Brother He!"
He Yuliang smiled and shook his head, "You're welcome, I just hope I can help."
Jia Dongxu also stepped forward and expressed his gratitude to He Yuliang, "Thank you, Yuliang. Your presence has made our family relationship more harmonious."
When He Yuliang heard this, he felt warm in his heart. He knew that although he was just an outsider, he had the responsibility to help everyone in this courtyard and make their lives better.
Jia Xiaoying's face showed a trace of confusion, she didn't know how to explain what was happening in front of her. After listening to He Yuliang's words, Jia's mother's expression became solemn, she turned to Jia Xiaoying with suspicion in her eyes.
