Siheyuan: Traveling through three years to gain the power of a palm

"How dare you hit my master, Liu Guangtian!" Jia Dongxu stood up. He hadn't reacted quickly enough, allowing Yi Zhonghai to take a beating. Now he wanted to seek justice for his master.

"Jia Dongxu, do you think I'm afraid of you? Come on!"

Liu Guangtian shouted and wrestled with Jia Dongxu.

"Come and watch the show! Liu Guangtian and Jia Dongxu are fighting."

The people in the yard heard the sound and immediately ran to the gate of the courtyard to watch.

"What's going on now? Why did they suddenly start fighting?"

"I just arrived and I'm not very clear, but I did hear Jia Dongxu say that Liu Guangtian beat Yi Zhonghai."

"I listened a little longer and it seemed like Yi Zhonghai and Liu Guangtian had a fight over their son's affairs."

"Son? Could it be that Liu Guangtian is Yi Zhonghai's son?"

Everyone was talking at once, and no one noticed that a few children had taken away the lunch boxes that Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu had brought back.

The current battle situation is that the Liu Guangtian brothers have joined forces to fight against Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu, master and apprentice.

The Liu brothers were flexible and strong, but their punches lacked power and could not do much damage; Jia Dongxu had great attacking power, but he had only worked a day and had not eaten enough, so he lacked the strength to keep up; and Yi Zhonghai's eye socket was swollen after being hit by that punch, and he could only use one eye, so he could not keep up with the rhythm of the battle at all.

So a strange balance was formed between the two sides.

Naturally, the fight wasn't just about the people in the courtyard who had heard about it and came to watch. People from nearby also came to watch the fun. Some even fanned the flames and gave some people some advice on how to attack.

"Uncle Yan, why don't you go up and stop them? It's embarrassing to let outsiders look at our yard." Someone suggested.

Yan Bugui looked at his own skinny body, then at the men fighting fiercely, motionless. If he went up to stop the fight, he would probably be knocked out with one punch. Who would then pay for the lost wages and medical expenses?

But he still said, "Look, idiot... Is He Yuzhu back? If he is, let him come and separate them."

As soon as he finished speaking, Sha Zhu broke through the crowd and walked over. "Why are there so many people gathered here? Did someone die?"

Only Sha Zhu could say such a shameless thing, but when he saw the two sides fighting in the crowd, he was also confused.

"Uncle Yi, Brother Dongxu, why did you guys get into a fight with Liu Guangtian and the others?"

Yi Zhonghai was overjoyed when he saw Sha Zhu, "Zhuzi, come quickly and capture Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu, these two unfilial sons!"

"Hi~"

The onlookers gasped, and their eyes looking at Yi Zhonghai became gradually complicated.

Even Xu Damao was confused and asked Jiang Fan, "What does Yi Zhonghai mean by this? Could it be that the Liu brothers are his offspring?"

Chapter 308: Upright Xu Damao

Jiang Fan shook his head slightly and said nothing. It wasn't his business anyway, so he let others think about it.

With the addition of Sha Zhu to the battlefield, the balance of victory quickly tilted.

Within two minutes, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu were subdued.

Liu Guangtian struggled, "Silly Zhu, let me go! If you have the guts, fight me one on one. How can you be a hero if you are outnumbered and bully the minority?"

"Hey!" Sha Zhu laughed angrily, "You kid still think you're a hero? So you think you're a hero by bullying an unarmed old man like Uncle Yi?"

Yi Zhonghai covered his eyes and agreed with what Sha Zhu said. "Sha Zhu, control him! This unfilial son doesn't even recognize his own father. I must teach him a lesson!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding people looked at him with even more confusion. What did Yi Zhonghai mean by this? Was he here to teach Liu Guangtian a lesson for not recognizing his biological father? Did this mean that Yi Zhonghai was Liu Guangtian's biological father? Then who was Liu Haizhong?

No wonder Liu Haizhong beats the child every day? It turns out that the child is not his.

The onlookers felt that they had discovered the truth of the matter.

At this time, Yi Zhonghai recovered and said to everyone, "Neighbors, I really can't believe that something like this would happen in our yard."

"Old Yi, let's go into the yard and talk. It's embarrassing to stay outside." Yan Bugui shouted and pulled Yi Zhonghai's hand and walked inside.

The others did the same, grabbing Sha Zhu and Jia Dongxu and bringing them back to the yard. The others also followed back to the yard, wanting to know how the situation developed further.

When the people in other courtyards saw that the gate of the courtyard was closed, they all showed disappointed expressions. It was really unpleasant that they could not watch the whole show.

But even half of the melon brought them great pleasure, because the melon was huge!

In the central courtyard of the quadrangle, Jiang Fan's family occupied a favorable position and gathered together to watch the show.

Yan Bugui stood aside and said, "Old Yi, tell us what happened today and we will judge it."

"Okay, I'll tell you guys!"

"Wait a moment!"

Xu Damao's voice attracted everyone's attention. He had his hair neatly combed, wore a well-fitting Zhongshan suit, and had leather shoes on his feet. The most attractive thing was the third-class medal of honor on his chest, which was shining brightly, making Xu Damao exude a sacred glow.

Yan Bugui looked at the medal with envy in his eyes, "Xu Damao, do you have anything to say?"

Xu Damao said righteously, "Of course, comrades, look at what you are doing? Ah, are you sentencing Liu Guangtian? Do you have the authority to do so? To put it nicely, you are mediating a conflict, but to put it bluntly, you are setting up a private court!"

Everyone looked at Xu Damao, with a hint of fear in their eyes.

Yi Zhonghai looked at Yan Bugui with a questioning look in his eyes.

Although Yan Bugui was a teacher, he didn't know much about legal matters. However, he had to believe Xu Damao because of his conviction in what he said and the shining medal on his chest.

"Old Yi, why don't we let Liu Guangtian and the others go first? Let's mediate the conflict like we did in the old days with a general meeting."

Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu laughed, then turned to Sha Zhu and said, "Did you hear that, Sha Zhu? Hurry and let me go, or I'll report you to the Subdistrict Office for setting up a private court and attempting to restore the monarchy!"

Sha Zhu and Jia Dongxu had no choice but to let go of the Liu brothers.

"Xu Damao, thank you."

Listening to Liu Guangtian's rude words, Xu Damao complained in his heart, "What a rude kid. If I didn't want to see a better show, I wouldn't care about you."

But he was very graceful. "It's a small matter. Our meeting is all about fairness. How can we not let you speak? Yi Zhonghai, you can start now."

Yi Zhonghai looked at Xu Damao deeply and told him what had happened truthfully.

After he finished speaking, although Yan Bugui was very surprised by the outrageous father-son relationship in the Liu family, he still asked Liu Guangtian if he had any objections.

Liu Guangtian shook his head and said, "No, what old Yi Zhonghai said is correct. But, neighbors, I have a question. That is, what does the matter between Liu Haizhong and me have to do with Yi Zhonghai! What right does he have to teach me a lesson!"

Yi Zhonghai said angrily, "If you are not filial, I will teach you a lesson!"

"Oh, oh!"

Liu Guangtian spitted at Yi Zhonghai, "I'm not filial? So what if I'm not filial? Liu Haizhong treated me like this before, and he still wants me to be filial to him. I'm not stupid! Why should I be filial to such a guy who abuses children!"

Some people also think it makes sense. If they were beaten since childhood and continued to be beaten, they would probably be no better than Liu Guangtian. Although they couldn't do something like asking their father to call them "Dad", they would definitely not provide for their father's old age and death.

However, some people think that Liu Guangtian was wrong to do this. Isn't beating you for your own good? Yi Zhonghai is a typical example.

He roared, "Then you can't let your father call you dad!"

Liu Guangtian scratched his ear and said casually, "I didn't ask him to call me that. It's just that we made a bet yesterday. If he lost, he had to call me dad."

"You!" Yi Zhonghai pointed at Liu Guangtian angrily, "You are unfilial!"

"none of your business!"

Liu Guangtian's nonchalant attitude once again ignited the powder keg in Yi Zhonghai's body. He walked up to the neighbors and pointed at Liu Guangtian, "Look at this, neighbors. He's definitely a bastard. Children like him should be sent to a juvenile detention center and educated properly. I suggest that Liu Guangtian be sent to a juvenile detention center!"

He raised his arms and shouted, but no one responded.

Yi Zhonghai looked at the silent neighbors in confusion, "What's wrong with you? Are you mute? Why aren't you talking? Are you just going to ignore Liu Guangtian's lawless behavior?"

"Yi Zhonghai, shut up."

Yi Zhonghai looked over and saw that it was Xu Damao who spoke. "What do you mean, Xu Damao?"

"What do I mean? My meaning is very simple, that is, to tell you to shut up if you don't understand."

Xu Damao took two steps forward and looked directly at Yi Zhonghai. "Is it your place to judge whether Liu Guangtian is filial or not? You're his father, aren't you? Besides, his biological father, Liu Haizhong, wasn't even there, and you're so brazen about sending him to a juvenile detention center? How dare you be so bold? Do you really think he's an orphan without a father or a mother who you can manipulate at will?"

Yi Zhonghai shook his head and said, "I didn't mean that?"

Liu Guangtian shouted, "What do you mean?"

Yi Zhonghai was at a loss for words and could only resort to the old saying, "I just think you're unfilial and haven't inherited our traditional virtues of respecting the elderly and loving the young. You need a good education."

Chapter 309: Jia Zhang fights for love

"Yi Zhonghai, are you fucking speechless? You're going to lecture me just because I'm unfilial? A while ago, the old man Dai from the alley next to us starved to death at home. Why didn't you go to their house and tell them that his son was unfilial?"

Liu Guangtian sarcastically said, "Yi Zhonghai, is it because you don't have a son to be filial to you that you can't stand other people having sons?"

"You! Don't talk nonsense. My apprentice is very filial to me. The relationship between us is much better than that between you and your father." Yi Zhonghai said anxiously.

Liu Guangtian said disdainfully, "Tsk, you can say the words, but who can know the truth? Neighbors, you must be filial to your elders in the future, otherwise Yi Zhonghai will come to your house and accuse you of being unfilial and send you to jail."

Some people in the crowd frowned. Filial piety is a must, but if one follows Yi Zhonghai's advice and insists on unconditional filial piety, then that's not acceptable.

Some parents are open-minded and reasonable, able to communicate and resolve conflicts even when they arise. However, some parents are extremely stubborn, like stones in a pit, smelly and hard, and self-righteous. Of course, such parents cannot be tolerated.

But how many enlightened parents are there in this era? Most of them are like patriarchs who have the final say at home.

Therefore, Yi Zhonghai's actions aroused the disgust of many people.

"Yi Zhonghai, what Liu Guangtian said is correct. No matter how much he and Liu Haizhong rebel against Tiangang, it has nothing to do with us. Why are you meddling in their affairs?"

"Old Yi, we're not criticizing you. You're promoting the virtue of respecting the elderly and loving the young, but you can't force everyone to do the same. Some people don't deserve respect, like your apprentice's mother. Is it possible that Jia Zhang is the one in charge of the Jia family now?"

Hearing this, Jia Dongxu lowered his head. How could he dare let Jia Zhang take power again? He had been obedient before, but his life had been a mess. After finally becoming the head of the family, the disaster made life even more difficult. If Jia Zhang was allowed to be the head of the family again, their family would be left starving.

Others also expressed their disapproval, stating they didn't want Yi Zhonghai bossing them around in the future. It wasn't that they were unfilial, but life inevitably presents some difficult issues. Who could guarantee a family would live in harmony and peace forever? It wasn't possible.

However, the internal conflicts of their family can be resolved by themselves. What's the big deal about Yi Zhonghai, an outsider, jumping around here?

Yi Zhonghai looked at his neighbors in disbelief. He didn't understand why they would say such things.

"How can you say that? Isn't what I'm doing good for everyone? What if the children are influenced by Liu Guangtian and become like him and rebel against Tiangang in the future? You won't even have a place to cry then."

Listening to Yi Zhonghai's words, almost no one took it seriously, because they knew that there was a reason why Brother Liu Guangtian became like this.

If Liu Haizhong had not beaten them for a long time, or if he had not beaten Liu Guangqi as well, the scene today would not have happened.

So they are not worried that their children will look like Liu Guangtian because they are not Liu Haizhong.

Seeing that everyone remained unmoved, Yi Zhonghai was extremely disappointed and at the same time felt very disappointed. He shouted, "You! You will definitely regret this!"

This made everyone's faces even uglier, and they looked at Yi Zhonghai with a bit of hostility. What did Yi Zhonghai mean by that? What did he mean by "they will regret it"? Wasn't that just a curse that their children would be unfilial in the future?

Who could stand this? Someone immediately started cursing, "Just shut up! A family without a son naturally doesn't know the happiness of having a son to support them in their old age."

Lore!

Yi Zhonghai looked in the direction of the sound, his eyes were red and his face was ferocious, like a rabid patient.

"Who said that! Stand up! Who said I don't have a filial son? I have Dongxu. He alone is as good as all of your sons!"

Jia Dongxu noticed that Yi Zhonghai was not in the right condition at the moment and seemed to be a little confused. He quickly stepped forward and held him back. "Master, I will be filial to you. Let's go home and have dinner, okay?"

Yi Zhonghai held Jia Dongxu's hands tightly, "Dongxu, yes, Dongxu, you will be filial to me. You will be like my son."

"Humph, Jia Dongxu's last name is Jia, not Yi. He's not your son. Oh, and if you marry into the Jia Zhang family, maybe you can change your last name to Jia. Then Jia Dongxu can be considered your biological son."

Liu Guangtian delivered the final blow, knocking the mentally confused Yi Zhonghai unconscious.

Jia Dongxu looked at the fainted Yi Zhonghai and called out anxiously, "Master, are you okay? Wake up."

"Lao Yi!"

Jia Zhang rushed out from the crowd and ran to Yi Zhonghai with a worried look on her face.

"Little brat from the Liu family, I'll scratch you to death!"

As she spoke, she waved her claws and grabbed Liu Guangtian. The latter looked at this shrew with disdain. Apart from being dirty and disgusting, Jia Zhangshi had no offensive power at all.

But there are differences between men and women. Even though Jia Zhang is decades older than Liu Guangtian, Liu Guangtian cannot act casually. If he touches something that shouldn't be touched, Jia Zhang will accuse him of being a hooligan, and he won't be able to explain himself.

So when facing Jia Zhang's attack, Liu Guangtian could only keep dodging.

He kept saying things like, "Jia Zhang stood up for Yi Zhonghai, is she interested in him? Are you doing this to Old Jia?" and so on.

This made the onlookers think a lot. They also wanted to know why Jia Zhang would stand up for Yi Zhonghai. When Yi Zhonghai fainted just now, the worry on her face was not fake.

Now it is even more intriguing that Yi Zhonghai and Liu Guangtian are fighting each other.
