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

……

At the entrance of the courtyard, Liu Haizhong staggered to the door. He pushed hard and pushed the door open.

"This old Yan didn't even lock the door. What if a thief comes in? I'm going to give him a good scolding tomorrow!"

After entering the room, Liu Haizhong closed the door with great effort, then leaned against the door, closed his eyes and fell asleep again.

Chapter 312: Liu Haizhong Catches a Thief

When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, it was the right time to do bad things. Just like yesterday, Sha Zhu took advantage of the fact that everyone was asleep and quietly came to Xu Damao's house in the backyard.

He found Xu Damao's bicycle with ease, and touched the firecrackers under the seat.

"Luckily, this thing is still here. If it were gone, I really don't know what I would do."

Sha Zhu wiped the sweat off his face and was about to take out the firecrackers.

It’s just that some things are easy to put away but difficult to take away.

"Hey! Why is this thing so tight?"

Sha Zhu searched for it for a long time but couldn't get it out. He didn't dare to use too much force or use a flashlight for fear of attracting attention.

Just when he was busy digging, Liu Haizhong came to the backyard in a daze.

Liu Haizhong had a good sleep and his mind became a little clearer. Taking advantage of the moonlight, he saw someone sneaking around in the backyard, not knowing what they were doing.

However, stimulated by the commendation meeting at the steel rolling mill, he immediately thought that there might be some gold thieves who had not been caught and ran to the courtyard to take revenge on Xu Damao.

If they caught him, wouldn't he be awarded a third-class merit and receive another commendation ceremony, a commendation ceremony dedicated only to Liu Haizhong? Then he could be promoted to workshop director, then section chief, then factory director, and so on...

When he thought of this, Liu Haizhong became excited. Coupled with the stimulation of alcohol, his heart was pounding, and he looked at Sha Zhu's back with great aggression.

But Sha Zhu didn't notice that someone was watching him from behind, and he was still working hard to take out the firecracker.

"It's almost there, it's almost out, oh my, it's finally out."

Looking at the firecrackers in his hand, Sha Zhu didn't dare to stop and turn around... He saw a figure as big as a hill rushing towards him.

"Don't run away, thief!"

Just like an elephant hitting a sapling, it was so powerful and brutal that Liu Haizhong, in an excited state, was knocked back by Sha Zhu.

As Sha Zhu was flying backwards, no one knew where the firecracker in his hand flew to.

Sha Zhu fell to the ground and made a sound of pain, "Hiss~, damn Liu Haizhong."

"Golden Thief, where are you running to!"

Liu Haizhong shouted and rushed forward again.

Frightened, Sha Zhu stood up and dodged, suppressing the pain in his chest. After dodging Liu Haizhong's charge, he kicked Liu Haizhong in the waist, knocking him down, and then quickly ran towards the middle courtyard. The noise was so loud that many people had already woken up, and lights appeared in the house.

Sha Zhu fled back home in a panic, took off his clothes and hid them, then put on some random clothes and went out again.

In the backyard, after Liu Haizhong was kicked down, he seemed to have lost his balance and fell down again before he could stand up. Finally, he simply lay on the ground and didn't move, only shouting, "Catch the thief. Catch the gold thief, hold a commendation meeting, become a section chief, become a factory director."

When the neighbors heard the noise and came out with sticks and kitchen knives to catch the thief, they saw that it was Liu Haizhong who was drunk and talking nonsense, and they all started to curse at him.

"N MLGB, what are you yelling about? I got so excited for nothing, I actually thought there was a thief."

"Why are you so disappointed that there are no thieves?"

"Catching a thief is a great way to get a reward. Would you like to take it if it were yours?"

After cursing for a few times, everyone went home, wasting their time.

Sha Zhu, who was hiding in the crowd, felt relieved. He was worried that his face would be seen through his bangs and exposed, and then his deeds would be exposed.

But now it seems that even if Liu Haizhong tells others that he is drunk like this, no one will believe it.

Sha Zhu turned around and left with peace of mind, feeling that the pain in his body had eased a little.

When he got home, he wanted to get into bed and sleep immediately.

But unexpectedly, Yang Shufen stopped him and said, "Brother Zhuzi, tell me the truth, what were you doing just now?"

"Look at the fun! Is Liu Haizhong drunk and acting crazy in the backyard?"

Sha Zhu didn't dare to tell the truth, because Yang Shufen had already told him not to have conflicts with Xu Damao, and even asked him to keep his head down as much as possible in front of Xu Damao.

If Yang Shufen knew that she had provoked Xu Damao out of anger, she would definitely lecture her again.

Yang Shufen could tell at a glance that Sha Zhu wasn't telling the truth, but she didn't ask any more questions. Instead, she stared at Sha Zhu and said, "Brother Zhu, I hope you can remember one thing: you're not alone anymore. You still have me and our child behind you. I hope you can consider us before you do anything in the future."

Sha Zhu was startled when he heard this, and a feeling of guilt rose in his heart. He was really too impulsive. Just because Xu Damao said a few words, he put everything behind him.

He was only thinking about venting his anger, not considering the consequences it would bring to his family. If the firecrackers really exploded, Xu Damao would most likely be admitted to the hospital.

One of the main members of the gold robbery was busted. He had just finished a meeting here and was then blown into the hospital. This would definitely cause a sensation. When the time comes, it will definitely alert the police to investigate the case. Sha Zhu didn't think he could escape the police's pursuit.

If he goes to jail for this, what will happen to his wife and children?

Sha Zhu remained silent and just hugged Yang Shufen from behind.

……

Because Liu Haizhong caused a misunderstanding, everyone came and left quickly, and no one thought about helping to get Liu Haizhong home.

Aunt Meng had no choice but to go find her two sons, but needless to say, the Liu brothers were simply not going to help.

Liu Guangtian even said that he could even bring Liu Haizhong into the house for fifty yuan!

Aunt Meng was scared off by the high price and had to drag Liu Haizhong back home step by step by herself.

She also knocked on several neighbors' doors, but no one opened the door for her.

Seeing that his mother had indeed dragged Liu Haizhong back, Liu Guangtian said unhappily, "Comrade Meng Lanhua, aren't you tired of dragging a 200-pound pig back here? Can't you just pay us a little money to do it?"

"You beast! I've never heard of a son asking for money for helping his father. Aren't you afraid that God will send down thunder and strike you to death, you bastard!"

Aunt Meng gasped and accused Liu Guangtian, calling him a good-for-nothing.

But Liu Guangtian didn't care at all. He no longer considered himself a member of the Liu family.

"You can scold me as much as you want, I'm just here to remind you that when Liu Haizhong wakes up, don't forget to let him come to me to recognize his father! Although I don't really want such a son, who made me a trustworthy person!"

After saying this, Liu Guangtian turned around and went back to his room to sleep. He wanted to have a good sleep and get enough rest so that he could force Liu Haizhong to call him daddy when it was daybreak.

He didn't think that Liu Haizhong would just admit defeat and call him dad, so a fight was inevitable in the end.

As for Aunt Meng's scolding, he didn't care at all.

Chapter 313: Liu Guangtian Beats Liu Haizhong

After dawn, a pair of small eyes opened in Liu Haizhong.

Looking at the familiar furnishings in the house, he suddenly felt strange. "Hiss, how did I get home? Also, why is my face swollen? My waist hurts too, like someone kicked me."

He shifted slightly and suddenly felt a piercing pain in his tailbone. "Ouch, why does the base of my tail hurt so much? Honey, honey!"

Aunt Meng, who was cooking, heard the call and quickly put down what she was holding and walked into the house, but Liu Guangtian was one step ahead of her and entered the room and closed the door behind him.

"Hey, son, you're awake."

Liu Haizhong's face changed instantly, anger emerged, and he grabbed the teacup beside the bed and threw it over.

"Evil beast! What nonsense are you talking about!"

Liu Guangtian jumped to the side, avoiding the teacup. He then laughed, "Liu Haizhong, it's been less than two days and you've already forgotten our bet? Was Jiang Fan at the commendation meeting yesterday? Is he from the Jiang family? Did you lose? Should I call you Dad?"

"I'm calling you MB! You beast, wait and see how I deal with you."

Liu Haizhong threw back the quilt and jumped off the bed. He picked up the feather duster beside the bed and hit Liu Guangtian.

Liu Guangtian cursed inwardly, "What a mistake!", letting Liu Haizhong get the weapon. But now he would never let Liu Haizhong beat him without fighting back.

He was seen swaying his body from side to side, dodging the attacks from his bangs.

"I can't hit you, I can't hit you. Liu Haizhong, you are such a loser, you can't even hit me."

Liu Guangtian kept swearing and harassing Liu Haizhong. After dodging a few times, he seized the opportunity and grabbed the feather duster that was about to fall.

Then he used all his strength to grab the feather duster and hit Liu Haizhong on the waist with his backhand.

"Ouch."

Only when the feather duster hit his body did Liu Haizhong know what pain was. The beatings again and again awakened his childhood memories.

He was also beaten by his father as a child, and similarly, he had an older brother who had never been beaten. It is precisely because of this experience that, after the father's authority came into being, he would replicate the same behavior one to one, or even more severely.

"You little bastard, you dared to hit me with a feather duster? You will get what you deserve!"

Liu Haizhong was too large and not flexible enough to dodge the feather duster like Liu Guangtian, who could hit him hard with every swing of the feather duster.

This made Liu Guangtian excited, and he couldn't help but increase the strength of his hands and his speed became faster and faster.

The sound of "whoosh" breaking through the air, Liu Haizhong's scream, and Liu Guangtian's evil laughter mixed together and spread out of the house.

"Old Liu has started again, beating the kids so early in the morning. What a sin."

"It doesn't sound right to me. I feel like Liu Haizhong is not beating people up, but getting beaten up."

"You're confused. It's not Liu Haizhong who beat his son. Could it be Liu Guangtian who beat Liu Haizhong? This is not pure, but against Tian Gang."

"It's not impossible for Tian Gang to rebel. Did you forget that Liu Guangtian said yesterday that he wanted Liu Haizhong to call him daddy?"

"This is really turning the world upside down, reversing yin and yang. Liu Guangtian is also a piece of shit. How can a son call his father his son? This old Liu family will be finished sooner or later."

Liu Guangtian didn’t know what outsiders said, but he was very happy now!

"My dear son, no wonder you used to like beating me with this thing so much. It turns out it works so well."

Liu Guangtian looked at the feather duster in his hand with a complicated look, which included disgust, fear, surprise and joy.

Liu Haizhong was cornered by him, trembling in fear. Looking at the chicken feathers fluttering in the air, his eyes were filled with fear.

Aunt Wu outside the door was being watched by Liu Guangfu, who did not allow her to go out to look for someone or to make loud noises.

Aunt Meng cried, "Guangfu, you can't do this. He's your father, your real father."

Liu Guangfu remained unmoved and simply said in a cold voice, "Dad? How can I have a dad? Have you ever seen a dad beat his son to death? We are just doing the opposite of what you did to us, and you can't stand it?"

"This is just the first beating. Brother Guangtian and I have endured it for over ten years! Do you know how we have survived these past ten years?"

Aunt Meng didn't answer him, but kept saying, "You can't do this. It's unfilial and you'll be struck by lightning."

Liu Guangfu's ears were sore from hearing this that he didn't think what he did was wrong. Compared to other people who killed their fathers, they were already filial.

Good people, good deeds, filial sons and virtuous grandchildren are all compared.

More than ten minutes later, Liu Guangtian came out of the house, carrying a feather duster with few feathers left, and said breathlessly, "Guangfu, let's go. I'll let you try next time. This old guy can take a lot more beatings than we did when we were kids."

"Really? Then I'll give it a try. But you didn't break it, did you? The family depends on him to make money."

Liu Guangfu was delighted but also a little worried. If Liu Haizhong was beaten to death, their family would have no income.

"Don't worry, I'm holding back. I can't hurt him. After all these years of getting beaten up, I know exactly where it hurts but doesn't get hurt. Besides, even if he does get crippled, that's perfect. I'll take over his job at the steel mill."

Liu Guangtian said indifferently. Compared with Liu Guangfu, he cared even less about Liu Haizhong.

"Let's go. Today I'll take you to find our eldest brother. That hypocritical bastard Liu Guangqi should pay the price for the beatings we've received over the years."

Liu Guangtian's tone was cold. When he thought about the completely different living conditions he and Liu Guangqi had had over the years, he felt so angry that his teeth were itching.

The same goes for Liu Guangfu. His hatred for his elder brother Liu Guangqi is no less than his hatred for Liu Haizhong.

"Let's go and show that guy how powerful we are!"

When Aunt Meng heard that the two men were going to cause trouble for her eldest son, she immediately ran in front of them and stretched out her arms to stop them.

"Liu Guangtian, Liu Guangfu, your eldest brother has never hit you. You can't go looking for trouble with him. This will ruin him."

Seeing Aunt Meng defending Liu Guangqi, the Liu Guangtian brothers grew even angrier and more furious. What was she trying to do? Defend Liu Guangqi?

Then why didn't she come out to defend them when they were being beaten? Isn't this just partiality?

"Comrade Meng Lanhua! I urge you to get out of my way right now, or I'll beat you up too."

Liu Guangfu also said, "Mom, just move aside. Liu Guangqi didn't beat us, but he didn't get beaten by Liu Haizhong either. We two brothers can make up for it."
