The strong fisherman in the courtyard

The warm stove made Li Ming drowsy. After a while, there was a loud bang from the yard, which woke Li Ming up.

"What the hell? What the hell is that? It's so scary!"

Li Ming patted his cheeks, trying to wake up a little. Li Rui, who was studying in the room, also came over and said, "I don't know what's going on. How about we go and take a look?"

"Let's go and take a look. You scared me!" Li Ming got up and put on his cotton jacket. "There's no silence in this damn yard. I wonder who is causing trouble here again!"

After going out, the two of them walked towards the middle yard. Since there was nothing wrong with the front yard, it must be the middle yard or the back yard. When they reached the middle yard, the brother and sister found that everyone was walking towards the back yard, so they hurriedly followed.

Li Ming glanced around the backyard and saw Liu Guangtian lying in the yard with his head covered, twisting back and forth. There was a pool of blood on the ground. He guessed that the loud noise just now was probably caused by the howling of this unfortunate child Liu Guangtian.

Liu Haizhong held a blood-stained rolling pin in his hand and fiercely stabbed it aside, cursing, "I told you not to listen, I will beat you to death today!"

After saying this, he was about to go forward with a rolling pin. The neighbors who were watching the excitement hurried forward to stop him. Liu Guangqi, the eldest son of the Liu family, stood aside and did nothing. As for the younger one? The younger one shrank in the house and dared not come out.

Li Ming was so angry that he gritted his teeth. This guy was really cruel. Could it be that this kid was not Liu Haizhong's biological son? Otherwise, how could he kill him?

Yi Zhonghai also pushed the crowd aside and walked in. Seeing Liu Guangtian lying on the ground wailing with his hands covering his head, he felt like his face was about to be throttled by a vibrator!

"Someone come quickly, take the child to the hospital!"

Yi Zhonghai looked around and saw He Yuzhu and Jia Dongxu standing at the edge of the crowd, and quickly called out their names.

"Zhu Zi, Dong Xu, hurry up!"

"Okay, I'll be right there!" He Yuzhu shouted and glanced at Jia Dongxu.

Although Jia Dongxu said nothing, he followed Yi Zhonghai's instructions, hurriedly walked to Liu Guangtian, lifted him up, and walked out.

Seeing Aunt Liu was indifferent and even trembling with fear, Yi Zhonghai shouted, "That's not your son! Hurry and follow him!"

Aunt Liu finally woke up from her dream and hurriedly followed He Yuzhu and the others to the hospital.

"Old Liu, what do you want to do? This is your son! Do you want to beat him to death?"

Liu Haizhong's neck stiffened, "He's my son, I can do whatever I want to him!"

Yi Zhonghai was almost given a heart attack by Liu Haizhong's answer. I came here to stop the fight, but you, Old Liu, stabbed me in the chest, right?

"Okay, okay, you have a point in your bangs!" Yi Zhonghai was furious and was about to leave with a flick of his sleeves.

"Hmph, you don't need to care. Even if the wide-brimmed hat comes, I will still say the same thing in Liu Haizhong!"

"Awesome! Liu Haizhong is so awesome!" Li Ming muttered subconsciously as he looked at Liu Haizhong's troubled look.

[Ding, the system detected that Liu Haizhong was speaking nonsense, so the following task is issued. ]

[Next time Liu Haizhong hits a child, please call the police and give Liu Haizhong a chance to realize his dream of saying such a big thing.]

[This task rewards 5 small yellow croakers and 1 chance to win a prize. ]

[Does the host accept the mission? ]

Is there any need to think about this good thing? Accept it first.

"Doesn't it count now?"

[Ding, catch the thief and the stolen goods! Considering the courtyard where the host lives, most of the neighbors are shameless, especially the three uncles. ]

Li Ming smacked his lips. "There's nothing wrong with what you said. Well, let Guangtian, the unlucky kid, suffer a loss. Suffering a loss is a blessing!"

"Brother, is this the end?" Li Rui looked confused. She always felt that beating someone up shouldn't be so easy to get over with. But the current situation was indeed different from what she had learned in school and what her family heard.

"Well, what can we do? He's beating his own son! Besides, no one called the police or anything, let's go back!"

Li Ming slightly improved his sister's worldview, then took his sister to the front yard.

Front yard, Li's house.

"Son, I just came back. What's going on in the backyard?" Mr. Li had just returned home with a roast duck from Bianyifang. Seeing that there was no one in the yard and hearing what his wife said, he saw Li Ming coming back and asked with a gossipy look on his face.

Li Ming waved his hands. "Well, what else could it be? The second uncle in the backyard smothered his child with a rolling pin and he almost couldn't get up. He bled a lot."

Father Li quietly lit a cigarette for himself. "Good fellow, this Old Liu was too ruthless. Isn't he afraid of being retaliated by his own son when he gets old?"

Li's mother carried the dished duck to the small living room and said, "He is counting on his eldest son to take care of him in his old age."

Li Ming was happy. This was indeed the situation now. However, it would not be the case after Liu Guangqi got married and ran away that night.

It will definitely be a famous scene at that time, and Li Ming must take a good look to learn more!

Chapter 120 Ma Hua's Family

"Okay, stop discussing other people's affairs. Let's eat quickly, or it will get cold!"

Mother Li pointed at the roast duck from Bianyifang and urged.

"Yes, yes, let's eat quickly. The duck has gotten a lot colder since I came back. If we don't eat it now, it will lose its flavor."

When Father Li saw that the duck he bought was about to lose its best taste, he repeatedly called Li Ming and his sister to sit down and eat.

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

Ma Hua's home.

Ma Hua had just arrived home a short while ago. His family did have a small courtyard passed down from their ancestors. It wasn't big, but it could accommodate Ma Hua and his family of two. Even after Ma Hua got married and had children, it would be more than enough for them to live in.

"Dad, I'm back!"

Ma Hua carried two bags of rice and flour, opened the door and shouted towards home.

Hearing this, Old Man Ma came out from the main house and asked, "Hey, why did you bring something back?"

"Didn't you say you were going to become a disciple today?"

Ma Hua put the two bags of rice and flour into the house and drank a sip of water before speaking. Carrying two bags of these treasures along the way made him very thirsty.

"Dad, just listen to me."

He brought over a stool for his father to sit on, and then Ma Hua began to tell him about what happened today when he became his apprentice.

"You mean you not only found a good master today, but he also introduced you to a business that can help you make a living, and if nothing goes wrong, you can make a lot of money?"

Ma Hua nodded.

"Besides, are the two bags of rice and flour you brought back given to you by your master? And the business you are doing in Pigeon Market also belongs to your master?"

Ma Hua continued to nod.

The old man lit up his pipe and took a deep breath. "Son, you are so kind to me. Although he is your master, he is really good to you!"

"If I could have found a master like you, even if he was only half as good as you, your father and I would be living a better life than we are now!"

Old Man Ma knocked on his son's head and said, "Follow your master carefully in the future. This kind of person will definitely have a bright future. You can't suffer any loss if you follow your master! If things go wrong, our Ma family will have to rely on you for the rest of our generation!"

"Don't worry, Dad. I'll remember it." Ma Hua choked up.

"That's right. Forget about the Pigeon City business. It's still food. Let me tell you, if it was your father or me in our time, if we met a master like this, we would rush to take the blame for him and behead him!"

"Just go ahead and do your job in Pigeon Market. It's no big deal. Eat less and drink less these days. The government won't be too strict."

Old Man Ma is not stupid, "How did you say that?"

"By the way, I won't punish the diligent or the lazy, I will only punish those who don't have eyes. When you go to the Pigeon Market to do this job at night, remember to bring your eyes. That will make things easier for you."

Ma Hua burst into laughter and said, "I know. Don't worry, I still have eyes."

"Okay, I'm happy today. You should learn from your master in the future. No one will let us suffer any loss."

"Go to the entrance of the alley and buy a bottle of wine. We'll have a good drink tonight!"

"Hey, I'm going right now!"

Old Man Ma watched his son leave the house, and he could clearly feel that he was much more relaxed. He murmured, "It would be even better if I could have a daughter-in-law and a grandson!"

That night, the Ma family was warm and cozy.

. . . . . .

The next day.

The Sangu office of the steel rolling mill.

The lazy colleagues around him knew at some point that Liu Haizhong had beaten his son violently last night, causing his son to be sent to the hospital covered in blood. Now they were surrounding Li Ming and asking him all kinds of questions.

This can be considered as the office culture of their three branches. You know what, Li Ming quite likes this culture.

Before they asked, Li Ming had heard a lot of gossip going on around them.

There was a rumor that the Liu family's wife was having an affair, but it was not proven! A matchmaker in their neighborhood introduced a guy who was getting married by proxy to a half-open door, and the family found out. The matchmaker was chased and beaten for two miles! Another one was that someone went to the toilet at night and accidentally fell down, and everyone in the yard helped to rescue him in the middle of the night!

"Mingzi, did that Liu Haizhong from your hospital really beat the kid into the hospital last night?"

Li Ming nodded, "Yes, there is blood on the rolling pin. Anyway, I didn't see Liu Guangtian coming back from the hospital before I went to bed last night!"

"Does Liu Haizhong in your yard often beat children?"

"A small fight every three days, a big fight every day, it won't stop anyway!" Li Ming continued to nod. Anyway, he didn't like Liu Haizhong. Besides, it wasn't him, Li Ming, who spread the rumor, so what he said was true!

Xu Qiang was stunned. "Fuck, I never thought there would be such a ruthless person in your hospital! Isn't he afraid that no one will take care of him when he gets old?"

"Don't worry, Liu Haizhong has three children, all of them are grown men!" Li Ming spread his hands, "Anyway, Liu Haizhong is not worried about this matter."

"Yesterday, the old man in our courtyard, oh, that is Yi Zhonghai, was talking about Liu Haizhong, but he was ridiculed by Liu Haizhong in both open and covert ways!"

Zhou Tian's mouth was burned by the cigarette butt before he realized, "There are so many geniuses in your hospital!"

“It’s much more lively than our place!”

"Why don't you come to our side? I guarantee you can enjoy this kind of excitement too!" Comrade Li Ming gave Zhou Tian a displeased look.

Zhou Tian shook his head repeatedly, "What a joke, do I think I've lived too long? I won't go, I won't go even if you kill me!"

"I'm a bachelor, I'll be bullied to death if I go there!"

"Haha, it's okay. We have Mingzi. How can our Mingzi bear to see you suffer?" Wang Jun encouraged with a smile.

"Don't worry, that won't happen! As long as Brother Tian dares to go!"

The more losses there are in the stock market, the more lively it becomes. You can hear the happy voices of these lazy people in Sangu even from outside!

"By the way, Old Xu, have we decided when we will cut off the salary this year?"

Zheng Ping suddenly said this, and the chattering people tacitly stopped talking and turned to look at Section Chief Xu Qiang.

Xu Qiang was stunned. The topic was changed too quickly.

"No, but ha, I heard that the salary cut may be earlier this year!"

"The food supply in our factory probably doesn't want to be cut off. After all, every day when we go to the cafeteria to eat, we can see that the food is getting worse day by day."

"It's only because we're not the hardworking ones in the workshop, otherwise we would have reported it to the higher authorities!"

Xu Qiang reeled off a long list in one breath, allowing the lazy readers to extract the key information from it.

"Is there really anyone who reacts upwards?" Li Ming was quite curious.

"Of course there are. Don't even think about it. There are so many troublemakers in the workshop. Besides, the workers in the workshop are really hardworking. If they don't get enough oil and water, they will die!"

Wu Gang shrugged and said.

Chapter 121 Liu Guangtian’s first good meal in more than ten years!

"But it's not bad to get paid early, so I can stay at home for two more days."

"That's great. Let's wait a little longer. Anyway, we don't have much to do in the factory right now. We're bored all day long. We might as well go home and prepare for the New Year."

"Well, I guess the leaders of the steel mill think the same way. Anyway, we just need to believe them."

. . . . . .

As soon as the bell of the steel rolling mill rang, the lazy guys in Sangu had already lined up at the fixed window.

Ma Hua was right in front of Li Ming. Ma Hua was very excited to see Li Ming coming to get his meal. However, Li Ming had told Ma Hua in advance that he was not allowed to call him master in the steel mill, as it was better to have less trouble than more.

If the leader of the steel mill knew that I cooked delicious food and transferred me to the cafeteria, I wouldn't have time to cry. After all, my boss is not the head of the steel mill yet, so I have to keep a low profile!

"I want this, this and this, and give me two steamed buns made with two kinds of dough!"

Ma Hua simply poked the serving spoon into the bucket, scooped out a large spoonful of food and put it on Li Ming's lunch box.

The kitchen helper nearby saw Ma Hua's operation and joked, "Wow! An acquaintance today? Are you not shaking anymore?"

"Stop shaking. How can I shake every day?" Ma Hua smiled and answered the question to the kitchen helper next to him.
