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

When they arrived at the backyard, Director Wang also smelled the fragrance coming from Xu's house, but she didn't say anything. Xu Damao had made a contribution and received a reward, so there was nothing wrong with eating something good.

When Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu saw Director Wang coming, they immediately stepped forward to greet him attentively, and acted respectfully and filially, a display that even Liu Haizhong had never experienced before.

Liu Guangtian was quite flattering. "Director Wang, why didn't you tell me you were coming? My brother and I could have gone to greet you."

"Yes, yes, you are our savior. Our sky is bright now that you are here. We don't have to be oppressed by that bastard Liu Haizhong anymore." Liu Guangfu also followed suit in praising. His level of flattery was no less than Liu Guangtian's.

"Director Wang is the justice of our neighborhood. When she comes, justice has arrived."

Director Wang did not feel honored by the praise from the Liu Guangtian brothers, but rather embarrassed.

She raised her hand to interrupt them, signaling them to shut up. The Liu Guangtian brothers obeyed without a word and walked over to the group led by Director Wang. They squeezed in with a playful grin, then looked at the people in the courtyard with a serious expression.

"Jiang Fan, do you think these two look like the traitors and Ergouzi back then?" Xu Damao's mouth twitched. He despised this kind of people the most.

"They do, but don't talk nonsense. They're both traitors, Er Gouzi, so what is Director Wang?"

Xu Damao immediately stopped talking. He couldn't say such things carelessly. If he did, he could easily lose his head.

Director Wang looked around but didn't see Liu Haizhong. He frowned slightly and asked, "Comrade Meng Lanhua, isn't Liu Haizhong here?"

Aunt Meng was startled and quickly stood up, saying in fear, "Director Wang, my son Lao Liu hasn't come back from work today. He wasn't late on purpose. He might have been delayed on the way."

Liu Guangtian immediately spoke out, "What delay on the road? I think he just looks down on Director Wang and is afraid that Director Wang will punish him."

"That's right!" Liu Guangfu nodded frantically.

"Director Wang, that's not the case. Old Liu definitely doesn't look down on you. He truly recognizes his mistakes. He hasn't hit Liu Guangtian or Liu Guangfu in the past few days."

Plop.

Aunt Meng knelt before Director Wang and cried, which frightened Director Wang. She quickly came to Aunt Meng and helped her up. If others knew that someone was kneeling to her, her career would be over.

"Comrade Meng, please stand up! Kneeling and bowing are not accepted in our new society."

Aunt Meng didn't get up, but just held Director Wang's hand and said, "Director Wang, our Lao Liu really knows his mistake."

"Director Wang, don't listen to her nonsense. There's no way that guy Liu Haizhong will admit his mistake. He even wanted to beat us brothers with a feather duster this morning!"

How could Liu Guangtian let Aunt Meng speak well of Liu Haizhong? If this cleared Liu Haizhong, both of them would be in trouble.

"That's right!"

"Shut up, you two!"

Director Wang turned her head and roared. She really wanted to go back to the past and let Liu Haizhong beat these two bastards to death.

"Comrade Meng, please stand up and speak first. I promise you that we will never wrongly accuse a good person, nor will we let a bad person go. If Liu Haizhong truly reforms, we will not cause him any trouble."

"That's good, that's good." Aunt Meng heard the sincerity in Director Wang's tone, wiped her tears and stood up.

"Bring a chair for Comrade Meng. Please sit down first."

After Director Wang calmed Aunt Meng down, she turned around and walked back to her original position. However, the look she gave the Liu Guangtian brothers was not friendly.

"Comrades, I'm here today to do two things. The first is something I believe everyone is familiar with. Comrade Jiang Fan and Comrade Xu Damao from our hospital have captured the fleeing gold thieves and performed a great deed. Everyone, applaud!"

After a burst of quacking sounds, Director Wang asked the two people to come in front of her.

"Comrade Jiang Fan, Comrade Xu Damao, you are both pillars of our country..."

After a lot of chatter, the last sentence finally got to the point.

"On behalf of the Subdistrict Office, I present you with certificates and awards."

As he spoke, Director Wang took out the certificate and the envelope containing the award that had been prepared long ago from behind him and handed them to the two of them.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Fan only took the certificate and returned the envelope. Xu Damao followed suit and returned the envelope.

Director Wang was puzzled. "Comrade Jiang Fan, what are you doing?"

Facing her question, Jiang Fan smiled slightly and said something shocking, "Director Wang, you just said that we are pillars of society and have made contributions to the country. Now let me do a small and insignificant thing."

"I'll keep the certificate, but please donate the award money to those in need. The elderly and lonely people in the relief hall, the families of martyrs on the street, they need this money more than I do."

Jiang Fan's eyes were filled with tears, and his face was filled with sincerity, which even Xu Damao was stunned by. Then he forced out two tears as well and said to Director Wang, "Me too!"

hiss~

Everyone in the courtyard stared at the two, bewildered by Jiang Fan and Xu Damao's actions. How could someone give away a reward they'd already earned? That's just idiotic!

Among them, Yan Bugui's family showed the most obvious reaction. He really wanted to say, "Don't give it to me, my family needs it so much."

Director Wang was also moved by Jiang Fan's spirit. With tears in her eyes, she said, "Comrade Jiang Fan, Comrade Xu Damao, you two are truly highly conscious. I'm proud to have neighbors like you! Please allow me to salute you on behalf of the martyrs' families in this neighborhood!"

After saying that, she straightened her clothes and saluted Jiang Fan and Xu Damao!

The street office staff behind her did the same thing, saluting to show their respect.

Papapa

I don't know who started clapping first, and then a sound like thunder rang out.

After an unknown amount of time, the applause died down, and Director Wang and the others finally lowered their hands. "Thank you on behalf of everyone."

"Director Wang, although the current days are very difficult, I believe that under your leadership, we will be able to overcome the difficulties and live a good life!"

"it is good!"

Chapter 319 Who did this?

After sitting back in his original position, Xu Damao was met with Lou Xiaoe's admiring gaze, "Da Mao, you were so handsome just now."

This made Xu Damao extremely proud, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

After Director Wang saw that everyone had quieted down, he spoke very seriously, "Comrades, now I have another matter to attend to. Liu Guangtian, Liu Guangfu, you two step forward."

The Liu brothers, who were named, walked to the center with their heads held high and their chests puffed out. They looked at Director Wang excitedly, hoping she would tell them good news.

Director Wang glanced at them coldly and said, "Neighbors, the last time I came here, I stopped Liu Haizhong from beating the child and criticized him. I don't think I was wrong, because beating children is indeed unacceptable."

Liu Guangtian immediately clapped his hands and cheered loudly. Liu Guangfu did the same, his hands were numb from clapping.

Some of the neighbors watching frowned slightly. They had submitted a letter of complaint this morning, and Director Wang had even sent someone to question them. Logically, since she knew what had happened in the past few days, she shouldn't have supported the Liu brothers. Wasn't she a good official?

Jiang Fan looked at the Liu brothers who looked like clowns, and thought that Director Wang’s next sentence should be the beginning.

As expected, Director Wang gritted his teeth and uttered two words, "But!"

"I never thought that just following the rules would lead to such a huge mess! Liu Guangtian, Liu Guangfu! Who gave you the guts to act so arrogantly in my name and rebel against Tiangang?"

The Liu brothers' faces changed drastically. This script is wrong. Why are they talking about us? Shouldn't they continue to criticize Liu Haizhong?

Liu Guangtian quickly explained, "Director Wang, you must have misunderstood something. We wouldn't dare act tyrannically. We just don't want to be beaten again."

Liu Guangfu followed suit, saying, "Yes, Director Wang, you saw it the last time you came here. Liu Haizhong, no, my father, really beat us both to death. Our wounds haven't healed yet."

As they were talking, they tried to lift up their clothes so that Director Wang could see their injuries and gain their sympathy.

"That's enough! Are you two still not telling the truth now?"

Director Wang looked at the two men disappointedly. She had originally thought that if the Liu brothers confessed honestly, it would not be impossible to give them a lighter sentence considering that they had been beaten for so many years.

But seeing that they refused to repent, she was really disappointed. These two guys were the same kind of people as Liu Haizhong. They were bold and arrogant because they had someone backing them up, and they acted recklessly.

"Just take a good look at what you're doing. No one else can stand watching them."

Director Wang threw the letter of complaint in their faces.

Liu Guangtian picked it up and looked at it, his face full of horror. After reading the contents on the paper, he ran to his neighbors with the paper and asked questions like a madman.

"Who wrote this? Who did this?! Stand up right here! Damn it! When Liu Haizhong beat me up, you didn't say a word. Now that I'm in charge, you're reporting me! Did I, Liu Guangtian, dig up your ancestral graves?"

"And even if you're reporting me, at least state some facts. Is it true that I took the family money to gamble? And you're asking me to make Liu Haizhong kneel down and call me daddy! Is it true? You're just spreading rumors, don't you know?"

Faced with Liu Guangtian's accusations, some middle-aged men in the crowd shifted their gaze and avoided looking at his face.

They felt a little guilty, and when they joined together to write the letter of complaint, they originally wanted to tell the truth, but they thought that since they had already written it, they might as well make it more serious and teach Liu Guangtian a lesson.

So that's how it became.

Liu Guangtian angrily questioned and cursed everyone with the paper. After returning to Director Wang, he pointed at the contents and cried, "Director Wang, please believe me. Nothing here is true. It's not true."

Director Wang knew that most of the names written on it were about family, but some of them were true, right? Was it true that Liu Guangtian hit Liu Haizhong? Was it also true that he called Liu Haizhong "son" in front of everyone?

So the report letter is also credible, but its credibility is not that high.

She sighed, "Liu Guangtian, I know there are fakes here, but there are also real ones, right? Could these two be fake?"

She pointed to the two few true messages on it and showed them to Liu Guangtian. The latter was speechless. These two were true and he really did it.

Seeing Liu Guangtian remained silent, Director Wang knew he had admitted it. "Liu Guangtian, the last time I came to your defense, it was to protect you and Liu Guangfu from further abuse. I told you, if Liu Haizhong hits you again, you can come to the neighborhood office to find me, and I will seek justice for you."

"But I'm not asking you to do such unfilial things in my name. Do you know that your unfilial behavior is also against the law? We can arrest you anyway."

Liu Guangtian was dumbfounded. He hadn't expected this to be so serious. He had simply returned the pain Liu Haizhong had inflicted on him.

Why is it that I have been suffering for more than ten years and no one has stepped forward, but Liu Haizhong only had to suffer once and someone stepped forward?

In fact, just as Liu Haizhong said, it is natural for a father to beat his son, and no one would think there is anything wrong with it.

But if a son hits his father, that is against the will of heaven and cannot be tolerated. Unless the father is not a human being!

Looking at Liu Guangtian's bewildered expression, Director Wang felt that this matter was truly difficult to handle. He wanted to severely punish Liu Guangtian, but he also felt that he was quite pitiful, and it would be unreasonable not to punish him.

Oh, it’s difficult.

"Comrade Meng, don't you know where Liu Haizhong has gone?"

Aunt Meng shook her head. Liu Haizhong had not come back today.

At this time, Jiang Daniu stood up and said, "Director Wang, Liu Haizhong asked for leave from the steel mill at noon today. But we don't know where he went."

Director Wang had no choice but to listen. She couldn't just take people to look for Liu Haizhong all over the street again.

"Comrade Meng Lanhua, wait until Liu Haizhong comes back and tell him to go to the neighborhood office to find me. I'll mediate the conflict between your family."

"Liu Guangtian, Liu Guangfu, although you two had your reasons, it is also a fact that you beat Liu Haizhong, and you must accept the punishment. When your father comes back, you will go to the neighborhood committee office with him."

Although Liu Guangtian and the other man were unwilling, they could only nod in agreement reluctantly. After all, the gun on Director Wang's waist was not to be trifled with.

Director Wang was relieved to see the two agreed. It is best to resolve family conflicts internally rather than escalate them to the legal level. It is sad.

Just when Director Wang thought the matter could be declared over, a cry from the Intermediate Court told her that things had to continue.

Chapter 320: Liu Guangqi Goes to the Funeral

"Dad! My dear dad. Why did you leave so suddenly? How can I live without you, Dad?"

The sound of mourning wailing reached everyone gathered in the backyard, all puzzled. Did someone die in the yard? How come we didn't know? Or did the mourners just go to the wrong door? If so, that would be incredibly filial.

As the crying became louder, the mourners appeared in front of everyone.

Liu Guangqi, the eldest son of the Liu family, dressed in mourning, walked in from the middle courtyard crying, followed by several strong men with sad faces, who seemed to have come to pay their respects.

As soon as Liu Guangqi entered, he noticed how crowded the backyard was. Could they all be here to mourn his father? That was a possibility. Then he saw Aunt Meng, her eyes red. Without a second thought, he ran over, hugged his mother's legs, and began to cry.

Everyone looked puzzled. Did Boss Liu have a brain seizure? Or was there something missing from his bangs that we didn't know about?

Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu pinched their thighs to prevent themselves from laughing. They originally thought that they were filial sons, but they didn't expect that their elder brother was even braver than them.

I wonder how Liu Haizhong would feel when he knew that his eldest son, whom he was proud of, couldn't wait to bury him. I think he would be very touched.

Aunt Meng could already feel the mocking looks from the people around her. She pulled Liu Guangtian aside and said, "Boss, what are you talking about? Your father isn't dead yet. Why are you dressed like this?"

Liu Guangqi was stunned, then his face turned a little angry. "Mom, how could you do this? As the saying goes, it takes ten years to build a relationship, and a hundred years to build a relationship. You and my father have been married for decades, how could you hide his death from me like the second and third brothers did? I am the eldest son in the family, and I should be the one to do this pot-breaking job to lead the way!"

Now all the neighbors who were watching were laughing. They were so happy that they thought the Liu family were all filial.

Aunt Meng was also anxious. Why couldn't her eldest son understand what she was saying?

Director Wang was also at a loss for words. Although she hadn't seen Liu Haizhong today, she knew he wasn't in any danger of death. Liu Guangqi's actions must have been the result of a misunderstanding.

But just as she was about to open her mouth to explain, she heard a deep and powerful voice.

"What are you all doing gathered in the backyard? Come on, make way for me to go home." Liu Haizhong squeezed out of the crowd and saw Liu Guangqi in mourning at first sight.

His expression was first stunned, then horrified. Could it be that his wife was beaten to death by those two evildoers? But when he saw Aunt Meng sitting in front of Liu Guangqi, he was stunned again. His wife was not dead, so who was the eldest brother mourning for?

When Liu Guangqi saw Liu Haizhong, he was also surprised. "Didn't they say that Lao Deng was dead? That's why I brought people here to fight for the family property. What's going on now? Will I be beaten to death?"
