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

"Da Mao, the tea is delicious, isn't it?"

"Good."

"...Da Mao, after all, I am of the same generation as your father, so I have to say a few words to you today. As a person, you should know how to respect your elders and share."

As soon as these words were spoken, Xu Damao and Sha Zhu were startled instantly. They looked at each other at the same time and saw a hint of fear in each other's eyes.

It’s nothing, it’s just that these words are so damn familiar. Isn’t this what Yi Zhonghai often says?

Chapter 407: Liu Haizhong Talks About Parenting

Xu Damao felt a chill on his back, and his right hand quickly reached for the jujube wood stick. He was ready. If Yi Zhonghai really came back, he would definitely give him a few beatings.

"Liu Haizhong, what do you mean by saying this at this time?"

Sha Zhu also felt a little uneasy. Yi Zhonghai died because of their family. If he really came back, he would definitely seek revenge on their family.

Liu Haizhong sighed, "Why don't you understand? I've been telling you to be filial and share. You can't just keep good things to yourself. We're all neighbors, so we should help each other."

Xu Damao's face changed, but his hands moved extremely quickly, and he hit Liu Haizhong's waist with a stick.

Sha Zhu was not polite either and started punching and kicking Liu Haizhong.

"Yi Zhonghai! How dare you come back? I'll kill you."

"Shazhu, get out of the way! I'm going to give him two blows with my stick and beat him to pieces."

Xu Damao seized the opportunity and hit Liu Haizhong with two more sticks, causing him to scream in pain.

"What are you two doing? Who is Yi Zhonghai? I am Liu Haizhong."

Liu Haizhong forcefully broke free from Sha Zhu's restraints, rubbing the wound with a grimace, "What the hell are you two yelling about? It hurts like hell."

Xu Damao did not let down his guard. "Liu Haizhong, I heard that Liu Guangqi didn't get promoted last time. Do you think he is not suitable for being an official?"

"You fart!"

Liu Haizhong instantly felt the pain go away. He pointed at Xu Damao and started cursing, "You're not suited to be an official. After years of training, our eldest son is definitely a good candidate for an official position. He's sure to become a big leader in the future. He's definitely going to have a lot of potential."

"It's confirmed, it's Liu Haizhong." Xu Damao breathed a sigh of relief and put the jujube wood stick aside.

"Liu Haizhong, you too, do you think it's fun to pretend to be Yi Zhonghai and scare us?" Sha Zhu said complainingly.

"Who pretended to be Yi Zhonghai? You beat me without any reason. It hurts so much." Liu Haizhong lifted up his clothes and saw red marks on them.

"You can't blame us for this. You were talking about filial piety and sharing, and I thought it was..."

Xu Damao didn't say anything more. This was unacceptable. Sha Zhu also fell silent. The force he had just used was not much less than Xu Damao's.

"I just want to ask you for some tea."

"Why don't you just say no? You scared me."

Xu Damao's heart finally calmed down. He grabbed a handful of tea leaves and made a cup of tea for Liu Haizhong.

Liu Haizhong was not in the mood to care about this matter now. The most important thing at the moment was to keep the thief under control.

I do not know how long it has been.

In the cellar, Liu Guangtian opened his eyes in a daze.

"Hiss, it hurts so much. Why the hell is Jiang Ping'an in Jiang Fan's room? He's so cruel."

Liu Guangtian touched his neck and hissed in pain. The area where he was hit was swollen, and the slightest movement caused severe pain.

There were also two legs, and the pain from them was no less than that from his head. Liu Guangtian tried to move, but he couldn't move even a centimeter.

There's no other reason, it hurts.

"Is my leg broken?"

An absurd but very credible idea popped up in Liu Guangtian's mind.

Feeling the pain in his legs, Liu Guangtian clenched his fists.

"I have broken my leg."

He kept repeating this sentence, as if he couldn't believe his own feelings.

After a long moment, Liu Guangtian let out an angry roar, "Ah!" The sound echoed in the cellar for a long time.

This roar seemed to drain all his energy and spirit, and after he finished roaring, his eyes rolled back and he fainted.

Xu Damao and the other three who were guarding outside also heard the roar, but no one felt sorry for him.

Liu Haizhong snorted coldly, "This thief is obviously a bastard who was born by a father but never raised by one. If he had received a strict family education, he wouldn't have gone down the path of stealing. Don't you agree?"

"Yes, that's right. Everyone in this courtyard knows that you, Uncle Liu, are a parenting expert." Xu Damao lowered his head, thinking about sad things, and tried hard not to laugh out loud.

Jiang Dalei didn't comment, but Sha Zhu's expression changed and he didn't look very happy.

After suppressing his joy, Xu Damao solemnly asked Liu Haizhong, "Uncle Liu, let's imagine this. If you were the father of this thief, how would you deal with him after he did such a treacherous act?"

Liu Haizhong said seriously, "Da Mao, your assumption is very problematic. Our Liu family has a very strict family tradition. How could such a shameless person like a thief appear in our family?"

"Of course I know that this situation won't happen in your Liu family. Isn't this just a hypothesis?

You see, among us, you're the only one with experience in raising children. My child is still young, and Da Lei's isn't even born yet. I'm thinking of learning from you, old man."

Xu Damao grabbed Jiang Dalei's arm, and the latter understood what he meant and said, "Yes, Uncle Er, we want to learn too."

Liu Haizhong enjoyed these two compliments very much. He seemed to have forgotten that under his education, his eldest son Liu Guangqi stayed away from home for a long time and only came home to ask for money and food.

Needless to say, the second son is the best in Tiangang and a first-class filial son.

Not to mention the third brother, who first betrayed Liu Haizhong and then betrayed Liu Guangtian. During this period, he also offended the eldest brother. He is simply a living Lu Bu.

"When it comes to educating my son, I mainly use a strict education. As the saying goes, a good son is made under the stick. You have to beat him. Of course, you can't beat him all the time. For example, I have never beaten my eldest son.

Look, he graduated from a technical secondary school, is highly regarded by his superiors at work, and is about to become an official and a leader. All of this is thanks to my good education."

Liu Haizhong said proudly, "Actually, people say that raising sons is a way to prepare for old age, but that's not true. There's no point in raising so many sons. It's enough to just train the eldest son in the family, and then raise the others until they grow up."

"Second uncle, your opinion is brilliant. Listening to your words is better than raising my son for ten years. Second uncle, let me toast you with tea instead of wine." Xu Damao cooperated with Liu Haizhong to show off. Although Jiang Dalei didn't understand what he meant, he cooperated with him.

Liu Haizhong took a sip of tea, closed his eyes, and waved his hand nonchalantly, "Don't look at the big fight that Liu Guangtian caused me, but he didn't dare to take the path of breaking the law and committing crimes. Why? I beat him one stick at a time. Let me tell you..."

Time passed by little by little as Liu Hai shared his decades of parenting experience.

Slowly, daybreak came.

Chapter 408 Liu Guangtian Exposed

As the sky brightened, Liu Haizhong's spirits grew stronger. Having stayed up all night, he wasn't even a bit sleepy. Instead, his eyes were bright and sharp. An unusual flush appeared on his face, the result of excessive excitement.

"It's daybreak. I guess everyone will be up soon. Let's clean up, wash up, and be alert so we can take the thief to the police station later."

Liu Haizhong's voice trembled slightly. This was the first time in his life that he had the possibility of receiving an award.

Xu Damao yawned, his eyes a little blurry. He patted his face lightly and cheered up again.

"I'm going home to wash my face first. Wait for me for a moment."

After returning home, Xu Damao woke up Lou Xiao'e.

"Ezi, don't sleep any more, get up and watch the show later."

"What's the big deal? Isn't it just sending a thief to the police station?" Lou Xiao'e turned over and said impatiently.

Xu Damao chuckled, "If it was just an ordinary thief, I wouldn't have wasted a whole night watching him."

Lou Xiao'e immediately became interested and sat up. "So there's something else going on inside?"

"Hey, I took a sneak peek last night. Guess who the thief was?"

"Don't tell me, let me guess." Lou Xiao'e thought for a moment, "If you say that, it must be someone you know, someone from our courtyard, and you don't have a good relationship with him."

"As expected of my wife, she's so smart."

After taking a sip, Xu Damao did not hide anything and told Lou Xiaoe directly that the thief was Liu Guangtian.

Lou Xiao'e took a deep breath and then asked, "Does Liu Haizhong know about this?"

"He knows nothing about it. He spent the entire night telling us about parenting tips. Hurry up and wash up, so we can go to the theater. I'm really looking forward to Liu Haizhong's expression when he sees Liu Guangtian."

"You are so bad, I like it so much."

Lou Xiao'e was not slow. She put on her clothes in the blink of an eye, poured hot water, soaked a towel and wiped her face. Then the two of them hurried to the cellar.

After a while, many people came to the yard.

They all wanted to send the thief to the police station together.

Seeing the crowd gathering around him, Liu Haizhong felt excited. This was the feeling of being the center of attention that he wanted.

"Ahem, neighbors, a thief appeared in our yard last night. Luckily, we successfully caught him and stopped him from stealing!"

Liu Haizhong spoke passionately and enthusiastically, but no one responded to him except Liu Guangfu.

"Old Liu, let's send the thief to the police station first. We all have to go to work later." Yan Bugui said. He didn't want to waste any more energy and food on this matter.

Although Liu Haizhong was dissatisfied with Yan Bugui's interruption of his speech, which made him unable to say the words of praise he had in his mind.

But seeing that the neighbors had no interest, I had no choice but to give up.

"Then let's bring the thief up now."

Liu Haizhong waved his hand and signaled two people to go down to the cellar and bring the person out.

But still no one moved, which made him quite embarrassed.

It was Jiang Daniu who gave the order, and Jiang Ping'an and his brothers went down to get the person up, while Xu Damao assisted from above.

When the person was brought out, everyone was a little surprised.

Because the thief was almost being dragged and couldn't stand at all.

"I was too rough last night. I might have broken his leg." Without waiting for Jiang Ping'an to speak, Jiang Dalei spoke first.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at the Jiang family with a hint of fear in their eyes.

"A thief? It doesn't matter if he is beaten to death, don't you think, Second Uncle?" Xu Damao came out to smooth things over and threw the question to Liu Haizhong.

The latter did not disappoint Xu Damao's expectations and immediately said, "Da Mao is right. For criminals like thieves, there is no problem in hitting them with the right focus. If this person had come to my house yesterday, I would have broken all his limbs!"

Hearing this, Xu Damao felt relieved and exclaimed, "Second Master is really aware."

Liu Haizhong said proudly, "Da Mao, keep a low profile. A leader shouldn't be too flamboyant."

Xu Damao nodded in agreement.

Sha Zhu didn't know what medicine he had taken, so he stood up and said, "This thief is wearing a hood. I want to see what he looks like."

Xu Damao was ecstatic. He was just trying to find a reason to expose Liu Guangtian when Sha Zhu came up with an assist.

"Silly Zhu, I really love you to death!"

With a swish, Sha Zhu lifted the hood off, and Liu Guangtian's face was exposed to everyone.

Hissing sounds were heard simultaneously, and the temperature in the courtyard rose in an instant.

"Liu Guangtian? Why is it you?" Sha Zhu said in shock. He never expected that the thief would be Liu Guangtian.

Liu Haizhong's body stiffened, the smile on his face immediately disappeared, he turned around and looked, and almost fainted.

"Who is this? How come he looks exactly like that evil Liu Guangtian? How could there be someone so similar in this world?"

"Liu Haizhong, do you think there's a possibility that he's Liu Guangtian?"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Liu Haizhong shouted, with a hint of madness in his voice.

He was not sad because Liu Guangtian was a thief, but because it would affect their family's reputation and become a stumbling block to his progress.

More importantly, it will also affect his eldest son's marriage, even though they have already separated and are theoretically two families.

But whether the woman believes it or not is another matter.

In this era, if one person commits a crime, the whole family will be unable to raise their face. If they go out to buy groceries, they will be pointed at.

The neighbors were also talking about it.
