Chapter 789 788 How about moving?
After Tang Zhitong pointed at Liu Chengzhi's nose and cursed him, a sentence suddenly popped up in his mind: Every cause has its effect, and I am your retribution.

The Liu family moved here after the liberation. When they first moved here, Liu Chengzhi was still a young boy and he showed goodwill to Tang Zhitong. However, it was not true kindness, but rather harbouring evil intentions.

The year the Liu family moved in, Tang Zhitong was only in his teens and had not yet started to develop. Not only was he short in stature, he was also dull in character, like a silly boy.

Because he was weak, taciturn, cowardly, and had a bad temper, he became the target of bullying by the bad boys in the neighborhood.

If you can't afford to offend them, you can afford to avoid them. At that time, Tang Zhitong consciously stayed away from those bad boys.

After Liu Chengzhi arrived in Donghua City, he was considered a countryman who came to the city, and he wanted to get closer to the city kids.

But few people were willing to see his appearance. After several attempts, things finally took a turn for the better.

The gang of bad boys in Donghua City asked Liu Chengzhi to give a "letter of allegiance", which simply meant doing something bad, bullying someone, otherwise he would be cowardly and unworthy of playing with them.

But Liu Chengzhi wanted to play with them, so after thinking it over, Tang Zhitong was on his shortlist and ranked first.

Cheng Hai said that appearance reflects the heart, and Zhang Xinping said that one should judge a person by his appearance.

The human body actually has a subconscious self-defense mechanism. For example, if you dislike someone, feel uncomfortable, or disgusted by them, then there is a high probability that you will not be able to get along with them, and staying away from them is the most correct choice.

Tang Zhitong didn't understand this at the time, but he always felt uncomfortable when he saw Liu Chengzhi, so he deliberately avoided him.

Liu Chengzhi was also cunning. Although there was a grade difference between them, he showed kindness to Tang Zhitong every day. Not only did he say nice things to them, he also asked them to go to school and go home together. He even claimed that if anyone bullied Tang Zhitong, he would stand up for him. He had become a "good friend" in the eyes of the parents.

But this "good friend" didn't last long.

Once, Liu Chengzhi asked Tang Zhitong out and took him to the vicinity of Shawomen.

After seeing the group of bad guys, Tang Zhitong wanted to run back, but his small body couldn't outrun them at all, and he was finally surrounded.

Crying, making a fuss, and shouting are of no use at this time. It is like crying to the sky and the earth for help, but no one will respond.

The group of kids formed a circle but didn't take any action. They just smiled and waited for Liu Chengzhi to make a move.

Just when Tang Zhitong thought that the kids were going to beat him up, Liu Chengzhi went over to negotiate with them. When he came back, he whispered in his "good friend's" ear, "Anzi, they want to beat you up, but I still have some face. They said that as long as you eat this, they will let you go."

Tang Zhitong looked at Liu Chengzhi's hand with tears in her eyes and shook her head like a rattle.

Nowadays, there are teachers who deal with school bullying, but after all, it is not as strict as it will be a few decades later. Tang Zhitong has experienced this many times, and pushing and shoving is a common thing for parents.

Seeing Tang Zhitong's refusal to cooperate, Liu Chengzhi immediately became unhappy and used both soft and hard tactics, threats and inducements, saying, "If you don't eat today, not only will they not spare you, but I will also be implicated. I have nothing to say to you, right? It's time for you to stick up for your friends."

……

Looking back now, Tang Zhitong really envies the children of decades later. The legal system is sound, the schools are strict, the teachers are responsible, and there is social supervision. All links are closely linked, laying a solid foundation for the healthy growth of children.

From then on, Liu Chengzhi immediately distanced himself from Tang Zhitong, and Tang Zhitong no longer paid any attention to Liu Chengzhi.

Tang Zhitong thought about telling his parents and teachers about this matter. Firstly, it is not appropriate for children to ask adults for resolution, as it would make people look down on them. Secondly, he thought that Liu Chengzhi was trying to help him out, and since he would not let his friend down, the matter would be left unresolved.

A few years later, Ma Kejian heard about this incident from other children and found out that Liu Chengzhi was the mastermind.

Tang Zhitong thought about the details carefully again and realized that Liu Chengzhi was really a bad person.

Ma San felt very indignant for his friend, so he pulled Tang Zhitong to throw a lot of stones at the roof of Liu's house. Liu Zhang was a narrow-minded person. Not only did she not use the stones to build a small building, she also jumped up and down and cursed for several days.

Fortunately, the two brothers were able to hide themselves and were not caught by Liu Zhang, otherwise there would have been a fight.

Tang Zhitong thought he could let this matter go, but now he finds that he is not that tolerant. With new and old grudges added together, he just wants to beat Liu Chengzhi up.

Zhang Guifang didn't know about her son's past with the Liu family, so she didn't have time to feel sad. She was just worried that her son would suddenly become violent and affect his future, so she kept holding on to Tang Zhitong.

Liu Chengzhi felt guilty and after being scolded by Tang Zhitong, he retreated in shame under the persuasion of the neighbors.

"Anzi, let's go home." After being persuaded by others, Zhang Guifang took her son home.

"Okay, slow down, don't hold on to me, I'll support you." Tang Zhitong glared at Liu Chengzhi and spoke softly to Zhang Guifang, completely different from before.

After the mother and daughter walked out of the crowd and took a few steps towards the entrance of the alley, Zhang Guifang relaxed her vigilance and loosened her grip on her son's hand. However, this loosening did not matter, as Tang Zhitong quickly turned back and pounced on Liu Chengzhi like a wild dog that had broken free from its reins.

After others exclaimed, Liu Chengzhi also reacted. He looked back with fear on his face, and his face came into close contact with Tang Zhitong's fist.

The reception was so accurate, no worse than when India used airplanes to intercept missiles.

"I'll let you not lock your anus! I'll let you talk nonsense! I'll let you curse my mother! I'll let you bully others! Damn sheep dung ball!..." Tang Zhitong threw a punch, accompanied by a BGM, and his momentum was no less than that of Lu Zhishen.

However, there are still differences between the two. When Lu Zhijie attacked Zhen Guanxi, he smashed the soy sauce shop. Although Tang Zhitong wanted to teach Liu Chengzhi a lesson, he held back and did not want to cause any casualties.

Liu Chengzhi was like a pig being pressed on a chopping board. While protecting his face with his arms, he howled, "Help! Someone is killing me!"

After others pulled Tang Zhitong away, Liu Chengzhi's eyes were already red and swollen, tears were streaming down his face, and there were several red spots on his face and arms.

"Tang Zhitong! I told you I didn't say that! You're going too far!" After being pulled apart, Liu Chengzhi felt that he was strong enough again, and his hand trembled as he pointed at Tang Zhitong.

"Bah! Coward! You dare to do it but not to take responsibility, are you still a man? As long as you dare to admit it, I will look up to you!" Tang Zhitong didn't care about his tricks. After using his fists and kicks, he immediately felt his body was relaxed and comfortable. "I didn't say what I admitted? God is watching what we do! Aren't you afraid of retribution?" Liu Chengzhi was like a crying child who was beaten. He kept wiping his tears. He was beaten, and now he didn't dare to admit that he said it, otherwise the beating would be in vain.

"I am upright and honest, and I have a clear conscience. I am not afraid of any retribution! But you, do you dare to swear that you have never scolded my mother? Come on, swear, if you have scolded me, you will be struck by lightning and black smoke will come out of your ancestral graves!" Tang Zhitong didn't buy it and threw the problem back to the other party.

Liu Chengzhi's momentum stagnated, and he didn't dare to face this question at all. When his mother was throwing a tantrum, she always said, "Old man, open your eyes and see." This had already planted a taboo in his heart against his ancestors. At this moment, he was angry and anxious, so he could only change the subject and ask people to make the decision for him: "Uncle Wu, do you care? If you don't care, I will report it to the police! If cadres beat people, is there still law? Is there still justice?"

As soon as everyone saw Liu Chengzhi's expression, they knew what was going on. He was really a rude person!
"Bah! Go report it. If you don't, you're the son of a turtle!" Tang Zhitong looked at Liu Chengzhi, who had a third of Liu Zhang's unreasonable charm, and did not show any weakness. He continued to point at his nose and scold him.

If there had been no Internet in those days, news would not have spread so quickly, and he was in the right, Tang Zhitong would not have dared to be so arrogant. If this had happened in the Internet age, as a cadre, he would have beaten Liu Chengzhi. What is this called? This is called traffic! The popularity would not be lower than that of the foreign devils on the dragon boat. Maybe someone would even add fuel to the fire and help buy hot searches!

Tang Zhitong didn't act arrogant for long before Zhang Guifang came over, lifted his feet and twisted his ears to drag him home.

"Ouch~ Mom~ Be gentle, be gentle, my ear is going to fall off." Facing the pressure from his mother, Tang Zhitong no longer had the momentum he had just had to uproot a weeping willow. He bent over and lowered his head so that Zhang Guifang could twist his ear with less effort. He was very obedient.

Tang Zhitong went back, but Liu Chengzhi stood in the wind crying like a wounded animal. He felt wronged. Tang Zhitong had only hit him on the upper body, but his back was also painful. He didn't know how many people had punched him during the fight.

The neighbors who came to watch the fun were very satisfied at this time. They had eaten the melons and looked at the melons. Some of them walked home, while some stayed where they were and advised Liu Chengzhi to be patient and go home quickly.

In fact, it may not be really for Liu Chengzhi's good, because the two steamed buns rolled to the ground and have been lying there quietly. The owner is right in front of them, and no one dares to pick them up. Only when Liu Chengzhi forgets about it and goes back, those who are still thinking about the steamed buns will pick them up, right?

"No, I have to go to the police station!" Liu Chengzhi thought he was in the right and refused to suffer this loss. He wiped his tears and walked towards the police station.

At this time, Chu Chunxue, who had been in the house, just arrived at the door after being notified by others.

"Chengzhi, don't go." Chu Chunxue wanted to hold her man back, but Liu Chengzhi walked too fast and she couldn't catch up with him even with her bulging belly.

Chu Chunxue couldn't catch up, but the security guard Lao Wu was very agile. He ran a few steps to catch up with Liu Chengzhi and grabbed him: "Chengzhi, because of your family's incident last year, our courtyard was rated as a 'backward courtyard', and everyone was dissatisfied. If you do this again this year, do you still want to be a five-good courtyard? Do you still want the oil coupons? Do you still want to live in this courtyard?"

Old Wu was not like Lu Dexian who spoiled Liu Chengzhi. He thought what Tang Zhitong said was right. He had never drunk the water of the Liu family, eaten the food of the Liu family, and even slept with the women of the Liu family. So why should he favor the Liu family?

Seeing Liu Chengzhi stunned, Old Wu continued to persuade him: "Now everyone thinks that you were the one who cursed first. Even if you go to the police station, it will be a mediation at best. Do you really think that the police station can help you suppress the case and let you fight back?"

"If you ask me, Anzi has already held back and didn't beat you to death.

The sister-in-law of the old Ma family in the front yard said that Anzi had beaten a tiger, and there is a photo of him and the tiger skin hanging in the house. The tiger skin is taller than a human.

The tigers that Wu Erlang fought back then were not necessarily as big as the one he fought.

Eucalyptus doesn't hold back, do you think you can still move now?"

Old Wu kept muttering while dragging Liu Chengzhi back. He didn't take sides with anyone in this matter except the two taels of oil coupons from Wuhaoyuan!
Pulling Liu Chengzhi back, Old Wu took a look at the dirty buns on the ground and said to Chu Chunxue, "Chengzhi's family, those two buns on the ground were brought back by your man."

The meaning was very clear, asking Chu Chunxue to pick it up and then take Liu Chengzhi home.

As for the residents nearby who were waiting to take advantage of the situation, Old Wu acted as if he didn't see them.

The lesson of Lu Dexian is still fresh in our minds. Old Wu does not want to repeat his mistake. Whoever the steamed buns belong to should own them. Even if the residents here are hungry, they will not lack these two steamed buns. But it is different for the Liu family. They really need them!

When Xiao Wang got home, Liu Chengzhi and Chu Chunxue had already gone home, and the neighbors who came to watch the fun had mostly dispersed. The few neighbors who were left to fetch water exaggerated the story and told it in detail, describing how Liu Chengzhi had cursed and how Tang Zhitong had beaten people.

Xiao Wang hurriedly thanked his neighbor and went home to ask Zhang Guifang, "Mom, are you okay?"

"It's okay." Zhang Guifang's eyes were still a little red. She regretted it when her son stood up to hit someone. A few words from others would not hurt her skin. It would not be worth it if her son was punished by the unit because of this.

"Are you hurt?" After caring about her mother-in-law, Xiao Wang asked her husband.

"No, I just beat that bastard up and I feel great all over. I have to have a drink to celebrate tonight." Having avenged both old and new grudges, Tang Zhitong was in a very good mood and said with a smile.

"How can you still laugh? People said they would report to the police, why didn't you listen?" When Zhang Guifang saw her son's expression, her worry and worry were evident in her words.

"Mom, don't worry, he doesn't dare! He deserves to be beaten for mistreating you. He doesn't dare to report it to the police and has already gone home." After comforting her mother-in-law, Xiao Wang educated her husband with a stern face: "You too, too impulsive. If he dares to mistreat us like this, we can send him off with a phone call. If you hit him, it will be difficult to make this call."

"Hey, it's okay. If you ask for help with this kind of thing, that would be real bullying. Just beat him up." Tang Zhitong has his own bottom line. Killing is not enough. Liu Chengzhi is hungry and Liu Chengzhi has surrendered. That's enough. There is no need to make Liu Chengzhi die or bury him.

Besides, this is not how relationships should be used. Retaliating over such a small matter will only damage your reputation and make you unwelcome everywhere.

As for the incident in which Liu Chengzhi pretended to be a good person and forced him to eat sheep dung eggs, Tang Zhitong never mentioned it at all. Based on his understanding of Xiao Wang, telling her about it would be like adding fuel to the fire. She really dared to use her connections to bring the Liu family back.

After dinner and before going to bed, the couple played a double-row game and were sweating profusely when the game ended.

Because Xiao Wang was concentrating on preparing for pregnancy, she maintained a strange posture even though she was sweating. Tang Zhitong could only give her a towel and wipe it carefully.

Thinking about the expressions of the neighbors who were watching the fun this afternoon, Tang Zhitong remembered the gossip he had heard before.

Some said that their family took advantage of the neighbors on water bills, that they grew their own vegetables and ate well, but watched others suffer; some said that Zhang Guifang stole cabbage stalks from the grocery store last winter to feed her chickens; some disliked Xiao Wang for being slow in making clothes and just didn't want to help; even Xiao Wang's clothes were criticized, saying that he had been married for more than a year and not only wore leather shoes, but also didn't cut his hair, pretending to be a grown-up girl; some even envied their own family's wealth, saying that they were lucky to have three bicycles...

Laugh at people who have nothing, hate people who have something, despise people who are poor, and resent people who are rich. This is basically human nature.

Conjunctivitis is contagious. Tang Zhitong couldn't imagine how they would arrange their home if they waited until the end of the year or next year.

"How is the housing exchange going in your unit?" After Tang Zhitong wiped Xiao Wang's face, he washed the towel again, wrung it dry, and wiped himself to cool down.
