Love in the Courtyard: Starting with Engineers

In the morning, Li Yu took a break to go to the post office and sent a telegram to Lou Zhenhua, asking him to teach the Liu brothers how to do business.

If they have talent, teach them; if they don't, let them do whatever they can.

In the afternoon, Li Yu brought the two Liu brothers to see Director Wang for a letter of introduction. At first, Director Wang disagreed.

The two brothers then took off their clothes to show Director Wang their numerous wounds, and only then did Director Wang open the door.

Looking at the two brothers' bodies, covered in bruises and welts, Director Wang couldn't help but curse, "Liu Haizhong is a beast!"

If there weren't a suitable person to act as a liaison in the courtyard, she would have wanted to dismiss Liu Haizhong immediately.

Before Liu Haizhong returned home, the two brothers packed some clothes and left a letter.

The two brothers arrived at the train station with eyes full of reluctance as they looked at the city where they had lived for more than ten years.

Seeing this, Li Yu said to the two of them, "You will definitely come back after you leave now, and you will come back in great style next time."

Upon hearing this, the two excitedly replied, "Yes, let's return in glory!"

Just as the two were about to get into the car, Li Yu once again instructed them: "Distribute the money I gave you to several places. If anyone steals your money, don't resist. When you arrive in Hong Kong, I've arranged for Lou Xiao'e to pick you up at the port."

"The most important thing is that you cannot talk to anyone or go anywhere else on this journey except for Lou Xiao'e."

The two brothers nodded seriously and gripped the dagger that Li Yu had given them.

After watching the two get on the train, Li Yu turned around and left the train station.

Liu Haizhong, back home in the courtyard house, looked at the letter in his hand and slammed it hard on the table.

Liu Haizhong's knuckles were white from gripping the letter so tightly.

Auntie Er asked anxiously, "What should we do, husband?"

Liu Haizhong said angrily, "What should we do? It's best if we just get out and die out there. Anyway, we'll all rely on the boss for our retirement from now on."

"Without those two little bastards, we can save a lot of food, and we even have a wedding room for our eldest son now."

Although Aunt Er was sad, she suddenly felt less sad after hearing what Liu Haizhong said.

Just then, Liu Haizhong slammed his hand on the table and said, "I'll go to the neighborhood committee and ask them why they gave these two brats a certificate."

Liu Haizhong arrived at the subdistrict office in a huff, intending to find Director Wang, but upon seeing Director Wang, he immediately broke into a wide smile.

"Director Wang, I've come to ask you about the certificates for my two children."

Director Wang looked at Liu Haizhong impatiently and said, "He's almost twenty years old, what can't I do to issue him a certificate?"

"Go outside if you have nothing else to do!"

Just as Liu Haizhong was about to turn and leave, Director Wang said, "Hmph! You beat your own child like that! What's the point of asking questions now that the other person has run away?"

Liu Haizhong paused for a moment, then left without stopping.

Upon arriving at the gatehouse, Liu Haizhong asked, "Brother, did you see two young men come to the neighborhood office this afternoon?"

The gatekeeper said impatiently, "I did see three young men come by, though not two."

Liu Haizhong quickly handed a cigarette to the gatekeeper and asked, "What do the three of them look like?"

After taking the cigarette, the security guard said, "There are two people who look quite like you. One of them is Director Wang's nephew, Li Yu."

Upon hearing that it was Li Yu, Liu Haizhong clenched his fists instantly.

He returned to the courtyard house with a gloomy expression.

"Bang, bang, bang!" Liu Haizhong pounded on Li Yu's door.

"Li Yu, get out here right now!"

Li Yu opened the door and saw Liu Haizhong.

He said impatiently, "If you keep banging on my door, believe me, I'll tear your house down!"

Upon seeing Li Yu open the door, Liu Haizhong ignored Li Yu's warning and pointed at Li Yu, saying, "Why did you send my two sons to Hong Kong?"

Li Yu looked at Liu Haizhong and said, "What do you mean I told them to go? They went on their own. I just lent them money."

"Then why did you lend them money?" Liu Haizhong asked angrily.

Li Yu looked at Liu Haizhong, who was about to explode with anger, and said, "I can lend my money to whomever I want, it's none of your business."

Liu Haizhong, who was already furious, could no longer tolerate Li Yu's words.

He raised his fist to hit Li Yu, shouting, "I'll beat you to death!"

Li Yu dodged Liu Haizhong's fist by turning his head and stepped forward to deliver a "Iron Mountain Lean".

Liu Haizhong was knocked backward and flew out of the air. When his aunt saw him flying out of the air, she quickly went over to help him up.

The second aunt pointed at Li Yu, crying, "What have we done to offend you! You sent my two sons out of Beijing, and now you've knocked out my husband, Old Liu!"

"Waaaaah"

Li Yu looked at the second aunt with tears streaming down her face and said, "I think everyone knows why your child left."

"As for knocking Liu Haizhong unconscious, that's because he attacked first."

"I hope this is the last time. If there's a next time, I'll just cripple him."

After saying that, Li Yu slammed the door shut.

When Liu Haizhong woke up at night, he felt like his whole body was in pain, and he only felt a little better after taking two painkillers.

After having some dinner, Liu Haizhong went to Sha Zhu's house.

"Shazhu, do you want to get revenge on Li Yu?" Liu Haizhong asked, looking at Shazhu.

"So what if we want to? Who can do anything about Li Yu now?" Sha Zhu said.

After taking a sip of water, Liu Haizhong said, "Even three cobblers with their wits combined can outwit Zhuge Liang!"

"With the two of us and Xu Damao working together, the three of us can definitely take down Li Yu."

Upon hearing that Xu Damao was also involved, Sha Zhu said, "I wish I could kill Xu Damao right now. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have been beaten up by the Qin brothers last time."

Hearing Sha Zhu say this, Liu Haizhong said, "Hey~ you're wrong. Think about it, if it weren't for Li Yu, would you, me, and Xu Damao have gotten to where we are today?"

"Think about how you became useless, how Xu Damao got divorced, and how Lao Yi died."

Sha Zhu grew angrier as he listened, his eyes bloodshot and his fists clenched so tightly they cracked.

Even Qin Huairu, who was standing to the side, was so angry that her eyes turned red. She thought of the dead Banggeng.

She couldn't help but tremble as she patted the two children's hands.

"Zhu Zi, listen to your sister, let's all work together to kill Li Yu!"

Sha Zhu looked at Qin Huairu and then said firmly, "Okay!"

After seeing that the two had agreed, Liu Haizhong said, "I'll go and persuade Xu Damao now."

Before long, Xu Damao was summoned to Shazhu's house by Liu Haizhong.

The three devised a preliminary plan to completely ruin Li Yu's reputation.

Liu Haizhong instructed his second aunt to spread rumors about Li Yu in the courtyard.

The three of them spread rumors at the steel rolling mill, saying that Li Yu and Bai Ling were having an affair and were not on good terms with their neighbors.

In this day and age, once a person's reputation is ruined, that person is basically half-dead.
