Siheyuan: Sending the whole courtyard to jail at the beginning

"When my uncle Lin passed away, the three families helped out a lot. The eldest grandson of Liu Polan's family helped hold the photos, your sister Xiao'e scattered paper money, and I, Brother Damin, Wu Jia, Wu Yi, and your brother who repairs bicycles, and several of Uncle Lin's men in the factory took turns carrying the body. At the beginning, I thought that Brother Damin's legs were not good, so I asked Sha Zhu to carry him, but that stupid idiot refused to carry the body and didn't even come to the funeral."

"It was raining heavily that day. When we went to the crematorium, the road was too slippery and Damin fell down. In order to prevent Uncle Lin's body from being startled, he carried the body with blood flowing from his legs. The whole way was covered in blood."

Lin Beijun gritted his teeth when he heard this, "Didn't anyone else help you that day? There are so many people in our hospital?"

"Someone helped, but Brother Damin refused to let him go, saying that Uncle Lin had done a favor for his family and he had to give Uncle Lin a ride. For this reason, after arriving at the place, Brother Damin kowtowed several times to apologize to Uncle Lin. Moreover, every year during the Qingming Festival, the New Year, and the anniversary of the death of Uncle Lin, Brother Damin would go to the graves of Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin to pay homage."

"Shazhu from our courtyard didn't come, but Yushui came. No one from the Jia family came, and Yan Bugui didn't come, but Third Aunt reconciled and they came. Other families did send people, including Damin's father and Master Liu, who came even though they were sick and on crutches."

"but..."

"But what?"

Lin Beijun asked.

"On the way to send Uncle Lin off, Liu Haizhong and his three boys were talking and laughing, pointing and making comments. The uncle told them several times, but they didn't listen. Later, your brother who repaired bicycles beat them up. Wasn't Chief Cheng from the police station there at the time? Liu Haizhong went to sue him, and Chief Cheng had to arrest your brother and put him in the police station. As a result, he didn't even attend the funeral."

"What? How dare they?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Beijun immediately became angry.

"Okay, really okay. Sha Zhu, Liu Haizhong, Liu Guangyuan, Liu Guangfu, Liu Guangtian, and Liu Lishi, I will never let these six people go!"

"Xiaojun, don't be impulsive."

"Junzi, calm down. I have made note of all these things. Even if you don't come back, I will deal with them in the future."

Lou Xiao'e and Xu Damao quickly grabbed Lin Beijun and comforted him. He was really afraid that his fierce brother would rush into the Liu family with two kitchen knives and kill people indiscriminately.

Things are different now. The country's laws are becoming stricter and stricter, and Lin Beijun is no longer the 16-year-old boy he was back then. If it happens again now, Lin Beijun will definitely be imprisoned.

"Huh, I'm fine. Don't worry, Sister Xiao'e, Brother Damao, I won't be impulsive. By the way, Brother Damao, you just said that Liu Haizhong and Jia Zhang forced the people in the courtyard to take my things? And they also made things difficult for Brother Daming's family, Grandpa Liu's family, and Wu Jia and Wu Yi?"

"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes."

"In fact, it was only the Liu family and the Jia family who took your family's things that day. No one else took anything at first. The first uncle, the third uncle, and Master Liu tried to stop them, but they couldn't. In the end, Yi Zhonghai and Master Liu had no choice but to leave. Out of sight, out of mind."

"Oh, by the way, Shazhu helped the Jia family move very efficiently, huh."

"Later, Jia Zhang and Liu Haizhong were afraid that people in the courtyard would tell others about this, so they decided to send gifts to the people in the courtyard. You know the Third Master, he wouldn't dare to go to your house to take things. Liu and Jia used coercion and bribery to send gifts to your house. They gave a lot of things, so the Third Master took them. The same thing happened to other families."

"By the way, apart from the three families of Damin, Uncle Yi didn't take anything from the house. Uncle Lin's funeral was also organized by Uncle Yi Zhang Long."

Lin Beijun was a little surprised. Yi Zhonghai was so kind?

There must be something wrong when things are abnormal. Lin Beijun doesn't think that hypocrite Yi Zhonghai would be so kind.

No matter what the reason was, Lin Beijun remembered all of it.

He will repay those who have done favors to his family tenfold or a hundredfold; and he will retaliate against those who have held grudges against his family a thousandfold or ten thousandfold!

......

"Dongdong~Brother Damin, Uncle Zhang, is anyone home?"

"crunch~"

The old, leaky door opened, and a dark, weathered figure wearing patched clothes walked out. Seeing this man, Lin Beijun was startled. Is this Zhang Daming? He should be in his early thirties, right? But why does he look so old? His temples and beard are starting to turn white.

Zhang Daming came out and saw the people coming. He asked in confusion, "Lin Beijun, Xu Damao, Lou Xiaoe, what are you doing?"

"Brother Damin, where is my Uncle Zhang? He's not at home? I came to see him and get some things." Lin Beijun said with a smile.

"Ahem~ Is it the second kid from the Lin family? Damin, why don't you invite the guests in?"

A weak coughing sound came from inside the room.

"Yes, Uncle Zhang, it's me, Lin Beijun. Haha, how have you been these years?"

Lin Beijun ignored Zhang Daming, who looked a little unhappy, and stepped aside and went into the house.

Lin Beijun was stunned when he entered Zhang Daming's house. Only four words popped up in his mind - 'penniless'!

A small house of just over ten square meters, with two beds and a table as the only furniture, which are also very broken. A broken wooden block serves as a stool in the house. There is no wardrobe, just a rope with both ends nailed to the wall, and two wooden boxes made of broken wooden boards.

There was a tattered curtain between the two beds in the room. On the left bed, a pregnant woman was looking at the visitor with a silly smile. Two little girls in the quilt were stretching their necks to look outside. On the right bed, an old man with white hair and beard and a sallow face was trying hard to sit up from the bed.

"Hey, this, Brother Damin, why did your family become like this?"

Lin Beijun blurted out these words almost without thinking.

Because he was really shocked. Five years ago, the Zhang family was not like this now! Originally, there were two rooms, one medium and one small, and there were quite a lot of furniture in the house!

Zhang Daming lowered his head in shame. "Bei, Beijun, it's not that I didn't want to invite you in, it's just that my house is too shabby."

Lin Beijun patted Zhang Daming's arm and said nothing.

If a man can, who wants his family to be like this? It's just his own fault.

"Ahem, Xiaojun, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. It's all because of this old sickly guy like me that Damin is dragged down."

Uncle Zhang sat up and leaned against the head of the bed, looking apologetic and said uncomfortably.

"Hey, Uncle Zhang, please slow down."

Lin Beijun quickly put down his things and went to help him.

"You are wrong. As long as you have parents, you have a home. Otherwise, you are like me, floating on the ground without roots."

"Hey~ Lao Lin... "

When Uncle Zhang thought of Lin's father and mother, his face was filled with sorrow. What people fear most are birth, aging, sickness and death.

"Well, Uncle Zhang, let's not talk about the sad things. I came here today because I was discharged from the army. I must come to your house to see you. I also knew that my house was robbed, and you helped to stop them and didn't go along with them. For this, I have suffered a lot of trouble from them.

Brother Damin carried my father's coffin, and you were sick and on crutches to see my father off for the last time. You and Brother Damin also took care of me before. These are all favors that I will remember for the rest of my life. My parents taught me to repay favors since I was a child, so please don't reject me, give me, your nephew, a chance."

Lin Beijun said very seriously.

Without giving Uncle Zhang and Zhang Daming a chance to speak, Lin Beijun continued,

"Uncle Zhang, Brother Damin, and sister-in-law, these are clothes, shoes, vegetables, food, and some pots and pans for the family. You must keep them. They are not valuable, and I don't have anywhere to put them. Please don't despise them."

"I came here in a hurry this time, and I didn't expect that my family is in such a difficult situation right now. I will come to see you guys carefully next time."

"From now on, you can relax. Now that I'm back, no one can bully our family anymore."

"From now on, your home is my home, you are my uncle, and Brother Damin is my brother."

"Okay, I have to go somewhere else, so I'll leave now. I'll come to see you another day. Goodbye, brother Damin, sister-in-law, and the two babies."

After saying that, he left without giving the Zhang family a chance to speak. There was no other way. His eyes were red and his nose was sore. If he didn't leave, he would be embarrassed.

"Sister Xiao'e, do you see this? This is what it means to be really poor. You are so poor that you don't have clothes to wear and you can't have food to eat."

"Woo woo, Damao's family, their family..."

As soon as she came out and closed the door, Lou Xiao'e burst into tears, and Xu Damao and Lin Beijun also had red eyes.

"Stop talking, Ezi. When the time comes, let's clean up the house and see if there's anything we can't use and bring it to Uncle Zhang's house. We'll come and help out more often in the future."

Lou Xiao'e nodded silently.

Zhang family, the father and son stared blankly at the two bags of clothes, rice, flour, radish, cabbage, etc. on the floor.

Zhang Daming raised his hand and found a big black ten in his hand without him noticing. He was immediately at a loss.

"Dad, this?"

"Hey, this second kid from the Lin family is just like his parents, kind and righteous. Okay, stop standing there like an idiot. Put your things away. Remember this kindness in your heart. When you have nothing to do in the future, go to the Lin family and see if there is anything I can help you with."

"Yeah, I understand, Dad."

"Da, Damin, they, they are, good people."

Zhang Daming's wife said with a stutter that she was not stupid, she just stuttered and spoke unclearly, and she was friendly and smiled at everyone, so people said she was stupid.

The two little kids in the quilt opened their big curious eyes and leaned against the window to watch the three figures gradually moving away.
