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

Aunt Meng shook her head. "No, you can't go. Your eldest brother is doing well at work now. If you go and make a scene, it will definitely hinder his future."

Chapter 314 Director Wang Knows the Truth

After pushing Aunt Meng aside, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu walked out of the house one after another.

The neighbors were a little surprised to see the Liu Guangtian brothers safe and sound. How could these two boys be okay? Could it be that Liu Haizhong was really the one who was beaten?

"What are you looking at! Haven't you seen such an energetic guy?"

Liu Guangtian shouted at everyone.

"Liu Guangtian, don't be so arrogant."

"What's wrong with being arrogant? Is being arrogant against the law? Does anyone say that I can't be arrogant?" Liu Guangtian said arrogantly.

Someone said, "Good boy, don't be too presumptuous. God is watching you. Be careful that God will take you away."

"Don't keep talking about heaven. That's feudal superstition. Believe it or not, I'll report you. Also, my fate is in my own hands. Whether I'm a hero or a loser is up to me. Guangfu, let's go."

Under the gaze of everyone, Liu Guangtian walked away with a defiant step.

The young people in the backyard all gave him a thumbs up, Guangtian is truly a warrior.

Only those in their thirties and forties frowned and looked at Liu Guangtian with dissatisfaction. This was because his behavior not only slapped Liu Haizhong in the face, but also challenged the dignity of their age group.

"This Liu Guangtian is still too young."

The middle-aged men looked at each other, understood each other's meaning, and went home.

Xu Wude sat at the door with a bowl in his hand. After drinking the last mouthful of porridge, he called Xu Damao.

"Don't contact or talk to that kid Liu Guangtian these two days. He's going to be in trouble."

"Unlucky? No way. I think he's very happy now. He's like a serf rising from the ashes and singing about his future."

"Turning over and singing isn't much of a skill; being able to keep singing is the real skill," Xu Wude said with disdain. "He's just a clueless brat, thinking Director Wang sympathizes with him and that he can run rampant at home just by saying a few words for him."

"Don't you think about it? Director Wang wouldn't let Liu Haizhong abuse them, so would he let them abuse Liu Haizhong? Word of domestic violence and unfilial piety would be disgraceful if it got out, and both would affect Director Wang's political achievements. And just like Yi Zhonghai said, Liu Guangtian's behavior is not a good example. He won't be able to act recklessly tonight."

Xu Damao nodded, as if he understood that someone was trying to get rid of Liu Guangtian.

……

At the Liu family's house, Liu Haizhong was hissing as Aunt Meng was applying medicine to him.

She shed tears of distress, "How could these two evildoers be so cruel? Look how they beat you up, there's not a single piece of good flesh left."

"Old Liu, let's go find Director Wang and ask her to seek justice for us. We can't live like this any longer."

Liu Haizhong was unwilling to do this. He shook his head in pain and said, "No, I can't go to Director Wang. You forget, if Director Wang hadn't backed those two bastards, how could he dare to treat me like this? I'm afraid the beating I received was also Director Wang's order."

"Oh, by the way, last night, you really didn't see anyone sneaking around in the backyard, squatting in front of Xu Damao's house."

Aunt Meng shook her head. She had been waiting for Liu Haizhong to come back last night, but she fell asleep while waiting and was woken up by Liu Haizhong's shout.

Liu Haizhong frowned slightly, "Could it be that I'm hallucinating because I drank too much? That can't be the case. My waist still hurts from that kick."

"Old Liu, Liu Guangtian and the other two said they were going to cause trouble for the boss. Aren't you worried?" Aunt Meng said worriedly.

Speaking of Liu Guangqi, Liu Haizhong raised his head, his expression becoming proud. "Don't worry, those two can't control the boss. The boss has one foot in the leadership ranks. Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu are just two evil bastards, they are not worthy of the boss's attention. Hurry up and apply medicine to me, I have to go to work. The boss said he doesn't even have money to take his girlfriend to the movies."

Aunt Meng wasn't as confident as Liu Haizhong. She complained, "This boss is the same. He's been working for two or three years, but he still asks for money from home. He says he has a girlfriend, but he won't bring her home. Let's see what happens too."

……

At the Subdistrict Office, Director Wang is in a meeting.

The content of the meeting was a discussion and praise for Comrade Xu Damao and Jiang Fan from No. 95 Nanluoguxiang for solving the gold case.

The street office actually received the news at the same time as other units. After all, the street office has increased its patrol efforts a lot because of the Huang Jin case.

Now that the case is over, it is natural to withdraw manpower to avoid waste.

As for why we are holding a meeting to discuss this today, it is naturally the result of coordination among multiple parties.

The meeting went on quickly. After learning about the rewards given to several people by the ministry and the steel mill, the street office immediately made a decision.

A certificate of merit and some cash were all they received. The meeting discussed the amount of the reward. It certainly wasn't as much as the steel mill, which benefited from it. The subdistrict office, on the other hand, didn't get any benefit at all.

When Jiang Fan and Xu Damao were mentioned, they would always say they worked in a certain department of the steel mill, rather than a certain street office. Therefore, the street office didn't take the matter very seriously, but since it was an order from above, they had no choice but to act.

It was finally decided that each person would receive a cash reward of 30 yuan and some bills.

After the meeting, Director Wang sat in his office and began to have a headache. The neighborhood office had a tough time because of the disaster. Every month, they had to visit and comfort the elderly and the families of martyrs. Especially since the neighborhood office also managed charitable organizations like the relief home, these too posed a significant monthly expense.

Deduction

There was a knock on the door, bringing Director Wang's thoughts back from the warehouse full of grain.

"Come in, little bear, what's going on?"

"Director, here's a letter of complaint about Liu Haizhong's family at No. 95 Nanluoguxiang. They're the ones you mentioned last time who were abusing their child."

Director Wang took the paper and unfolded it with an unhappy look on his face. "Hasn't Liu Haizhong learned his lesson and is beating the child again? He's truly unrepentant!"

She opened it and read it carefully, wanting to see how Liu Haizhong abused the child again. But she blushed after just a cursory glance.

"These two guys are so lawless and audacious that they actually dared to do such a thing in my name! I really should have them shot!"

Director Wang was furious, her eyes bulging like balls. She stood up suddenly and pointed at Xiong Fei, "Xiong Fei, go over here and thoroughly investigate whether the contents of the complaint are true."

"Yes, I promise to complete the mission."

Xiong Fei saluted and turned away.

In the office, Director Wang sat in the chair somewhat decadently. She couldn't believe everything written in the letter. She helped Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu escape from misery, but she didn't expect that they would turn into another Liu Haizhong.

Chapter 315: Power Changes

The content of the report letter was nothing but what Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu had done at home during this period, such as calling Liu Haizhong his son and using a wooden stick to act out the filial piety of father and son at home.

And when Liu Haizhong wanted to teach him a lesson, he would say, "Do you dare to hit me? I have someone above me!"

The entire page was filled with descriptions of Liu Guangtian, who was using Director Wang's name to bully others and committing crimes in the courtyard. Although he hadn't yet affected other residents, his behavior had already seriously affected their lives.

This morning, Liu Haizhong was beaten by Liu Guangtian so badly that he couldn't leave the house and could only walk with a limp. Yet, Liu Haizhong was still forced to go to work.

The reason was that Liu Guangtian needed money to gamble, and he had spent all the family savings.

He also did various other evil deeds, such as stealing old ladies' walking sticks, tricking children into giving him candy, and teasing cats and dogs. He did all kinds of evil things. Even if he didn't like a stray dog ​​passing by on the street, he would go over and give it sixty slaps.

There were numerous crimes listed, but Director Wang only saw one sentence: "Liu Guangtian's despicable behavior today is entirely due to Director Wang's support! The suffering of the people in the Siheyuan is entirely due to Director Wang."

How could Director Wang, who was dedicated to serving the people, accept this? Her original intention was just to prevent Liu Haizhong from abusing the child, but she didn't expect it to turn out like this.

At this moment, Director Wang was confused.

She stared at the letter with a dull look in her eyes, her thoughts in a mess, all kinds of ideas emerged and disappeared in her mind.

……

Liu Guangqi looked at his two younger brothers calmly, but his tone was quite impatient, "What do you two want from me again?"

"Brother, don't you want to be like this? We are brothers. I came to you for good reasons. How could I harm you?"

Liu Guangtian put his arm on Liu Guangqi's shoulders and whispered in his ear, "Come walk with me. Otherwise, I don't know what I will do."

Looking at the bright dagger in Liu Guangtian's hand, Liu Guangqi followed him away from home. He was still young and had a bright future, so he couldn't gamble.

When they arrived at a remote place, they stopped and Liu Guangtian put away his dagger.

Seeing this, Liu Guangqi immediately asked unhappily, "You two are so bold that you dare to threaten me. If Dad knew about this, you two would probably be beaten again. Apologize to me now and I might consider not telling the family about this."

Hearing these seemingly caring words, the two of them sneered disdainfully and looked at Liu Guangqi with contempt.

"Guangfu, did you hear what our good brother said?"

"I heard it. He said that if we apologize to him and admit our mistakes, he won't tell Liu Haizhong that we are causing trouble for him."

They both laughed out loud.

This made Liu Guangqi feel inexplicably panicked. "What are you laughing at? And Guangfu, how can you call Dad by his name?"

Liu Guangfu turned his head to look at Liu Guangtian and grinned, "What's wrong with me calling him by his name? Liu Haizhong, Liu Haizhong, Liu Haizhong is just a bastard!"

"you!"

Liu Guangqi frowned, not understanding why Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu were so bold and were not afraid of being hit by their bangs?

You have to know that in the past, whenever he talked about Liu Haizhong, the two people in front of him would not only tremble with fear, but would also absolutely not dare to say a word of no.

But what's going on now? Is something wrong at home? Could Liu Haizhong be dead?

It's no secret that scholars have a tendency to overthink things. Instantly, Liu Guangqi thought of Liu Haizhong's death at the steel mill. The mill had compensated him handsomely, but Liu Guangtian and his wife didn't want him to return to divide up the family fortune, so they kept it a secret until everything was distributed before approaching him.

He took a deep breath and asked, "Looking at the two of you, is there something wrong at home?"

Liu Guangtian had no idea what he was thinking, assuming he was talking about the power shift at home. He nodded immediately, "Yes, something's happened at home, and it's a big deal. I'm here to tell you that Liu Haizhong is a thing of the past. From now on, I'll be the head of the family."

Liu Guangfu also spoke out to show his presence, "And me!"

Liu Guangtian was not angry. He still had some feelings for this brother who had been beaten with him. "Yes, from now on, the Liu family will be ruled by us two brothers."

But Liu Guangqi was different. He had just heard from Liu Guangtian that "Liu Haizhong passed away". This news shocked him to death.

His emotions were indescribably complicated. Among the three brothers in the Liu family, he was the eldest and was the only one favored by Liu Haizhong. Although he was not provided with good food and drink since he was a child, he had enough food and drink, and clothes to wear. Most importantly, he had never been beaten.

This was not a big deal before Liu Guangtian was born, but after he was born, Liu Guangqi had a deep understanding of it.

Especially when he was in his teens, Liu Guangtian played too wildly outside and came back very late, and was almost broken his leg by Liu Haizhong.

This made Liu Guangqi feel extremely lucky. He was the eldest son and had been born early. Liu Haizhong gave him nearly half of his love, and the remaining half was his ideal of becoming an official.

In order to achieve this ideal, Liu Haizhong also worked hard on Liu Guangqi, telling him from a young age that he should become an official, and a high-ranking official.

It can be said that Liu Haizhong gave him love, but also gave him great pressure.

So when he heard the news of Liu Haizhong's death, Liu Guangqi felt an indescribable sadness, as well as a bit of relief and joy.

Liu Guangtian said angrily, "What are you staring at? Let me tell you, Liu Haizhong used to be the head of the family, so he took money and food from home for you. Now it's different. We are the boss, so don't even think about taking a penny or a grain of food from home."

Liu Guangfu also said, "Yes, not only that, you have to return the things you took before."

Liu Guangqi came to his senses and heard his two brothers talking. Anger rose in his heart, "You two beasts! I haven't even bothered with you about such a big family matter. You're only informing me now, and you still have the nerve to ask me for things. Humph, I'm going to ask for leave now and go home. When I see Dad at the courtyard, you'll see how I deal with you."

As he said that, he pushed Liu Guangfu away and walked past him.

"Hey hey, you dare to touch me. Screw you!"

Liu Guangfu would not tolerate it like before, and kicked him directly from behind.

Liu Guangqi was kicked to the ground. He turned around and looked at the two men angrily, "You, Liu Guangfu, dare to hit me now. I'll show you today that your elder brother is still your elder brother."

As they were talking, the two men started to wrestle. Liu Guangtian, who was standing nearby, watched for a while and found that Liu Guangfu was at a disadvantage. He then joined the battle and said, "Guangfu, I'm here to help you!"

"Okay, second brother, if we work together, we will definitely defeat Liu Guangqi!"

Chapter 316: Walking Together

The sound of the three people fighting attracted people nearby, especially the security guard at Liu Guangqi's workplace.

When he saw three people fighting, he immediately fired a warning shot into the air.

After two gunshots, the three Liu brothers regained their senses and separated from each other.

"Liu Guangqi, are you okay? Do you want us to take them away?" Knowing that the three were brothers, the guard looked at the embarrassed Liu Guangqi and asked for his opinion.

"No, we just had a conflict over a personal matter. There's no need to arrest anyone. I'll just deal with it when I get home."

Liu Guangqi shook his head. It was just a fight between brothers. This kind of thing was not serious. Even if he was caught, he could not be punished. It would be better not to pursue responsibility and show his demeanor in front of his colleagues.

Liu Guangtian sneered, "Why are you pretending to be so rude? If this little thing can't kill me and will affect your reputation, would you let me go? Pah!"

"Liu Guangtian!"

Liu Guangqi was a little embarrassed and angry when his inner thoughts were exposed. "How could you think of me like that? We are brothers born of the same mother."
