Siheyuan: I am a big capitalist after the founding of the People's Republic of China

Years are like running water; time will not stop for anyone or anything.

1960 spring.

Li Zihang, who is already sixteen years old, is in his third year of high school.

He has been admitted in advance to Peking University's School of Foreign Languages ​​to study for a three-year undergraduate and master's degree.

This foreign language university was founded as the Sijiucheng Foreign Languages ​​College by Peking University in 1954.

This college is affiliated with Peking University, but it brings together the faculty and student resources of three of China's top universities.

Every student there is a dragon among men.

In this era, the lowest level of these students after graduation is deputy section-level cadres.

Some of them are poached by major high-tech companies, some enter the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and at worst they stay in school to work.

Li Zihang is proficient in 6 foreign languages, and with his level, he can become a teacher directly.

Being recommended and studying for three years for a bachelor's and master's degree is just to wait for your age. It will be very useful when you graduate.

Li Zihang is in class now. He goes when he is in a good mood, and doesn't go when he is in a bad mood.

The teacher didn't care about him because there was no need to.

It would be better to care about other students instead of wasting time on this.

My eldest brother Dewang has also been married for a few months this year.

At this time, his sister-in-law just got pregnant.

Due to work reasons, my eldest brother and his family moved back to the Li family.

This guy Dewang also went to college with the help of the old man’s connections.

He was away from home all day, and his aunt got angry and beat him several times.

In the past few years, Yu Shui has grown up and has become a beautiful girl.

Since she grew up in the Li family, she had enough nutrition for her meals and her aesthetic taste was outstanding. She dressed herself up beautifully every day.

Over the past three years, the old man often took Li Sijie to various occasions.

Let him think he can replace Li Zihang.

He is secretly competing with Li Zihang every day.

Li Sijie secretly planned to replace Li Zihang.

But Li Zihang simply ignored his thoughts.

In Li Zihang's eyes, Li Sijie's attempt was as boring as a child playing house.

He didn't even bother to argue with it. However, once Li Sijie really annoyed him.

Li Zihang will give the other party a ruthless beating without any mercy.

This caused Li Sijie to be both afraid and terrified of him, and even have the delusion of replacing him.

Since returning from training the year before last, this old man revealed all of his family background and power to Li Zihang.

If there are important events in the family, Li Zihang will also be present.

At the family meeting, no one treated Li Zihang as a child.

Because his grandfather and grandmother doted on Li Sijie like a child, he became even more delusional.

During dinner time, in the Li family restaurant.

Everyone sat down to eat one by one, and the big round table was filled with people.

Due to the leap forward in one year, there were two consecutive years of natural disasters and man-made disasters.

During this period, people all over the country were saving money on clothing and food.

The Li family is fine, after all, their rank is there.

There are still meat dishes on the table, but not as rich as before.

Thanks to the overseas Li family's support, Uncle Seven has been promoted to a full-time department-level cadre.

In the past two years, the Li family has smuggled and imported massive amounts of food and equipment for the country.

Although no one in Li Zihang's family holds a position in the court, their influence in the hearts of all the upper-class people is extremely heavy, and various factions are trying to win over the Li family.

In the restaurant, the air was filled with a faint fragrance.

The last dish, the pregnancy-nourishing soup prepared for Li Zihang's sister-in-law, was served on the table, and the whole family, young and old, started eating.

At this moment, Li Sijie was out of his mind and clamored to drink his sister-in-law's pregnancy-nourishing soup.

Li Sijie: "I want to drink that bowl of big bone soup."

The old man and grandma ignored him, and the others pretended not to hear and continued eating.

At this time, Aunt Gu began to persuade her son.

"Xiao Jie, you should know better. That is the soup prepared for your sister-in-law to nourish the fetus. You know that your sister-in-law is pregnant~"

Li Zihang didn't even bother to look at him, he just took a bite of vegetable and a mouthful of rice.

Li Sijie became even more excited when he saw that no one paid attention to him.

"Why can my sister-in-law eat meat and drink soup, but I can't?"

The others still ignored him.

Li Sijie muttered softly.

"Besides, my eldest brother and his wife are not our family."

Although Li Sijie's voice was not loud, the Li family still heard it in the quiet restaurant.

Only at this point did the old man put down his chopsticks and looked at him unfriendly.

Grandma's kind look also disappeared.

Aunt Gu was so frightened by her son's words that her heart skipped a beat.

Ju Ye put down his chopsticks, stood up and left.

Grandma Jiu was still yelling, asking where Grandpa Ju was going!

Li Zihang was burning with rage, but without waiting for the old man to lose his temper, he stood up with an unchanged expression.

At this moment, the other members of the Li family also looked up at Li Zihang, wanting to see his next move.

Li Zihang walked up to Li Sijie with a smile on his face.

Li Sijie knew that he had said the wrong thing and lowered his head not daring to look at everyone.

Li Zihang gently supported the other person's chin with his hand.

He stared at the other person's face, which was 70% similar to his own, and couldn't help but sigh softly.

At this moment, the other party cast a puzzled look, as if asking something.

However, Li Zihang raised his hand without hesitation and slapped him hard.

The force of the slap was so great that his face instantly tilted to one side, and five obvious finger marks appeared on his face.

As the slap landed, the air around seemed to freeze.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment, with only the crisp sound of the slap echoing in the air.

The beaten Li Sijie's eyes were full of astonishment.

Li Zihang's expression remained unchanged.

Li Sijie was knocked to the ground, covering half of his face with a look of fear in his eyes.

When Aunt Gu saw her son being beaten, she quickly stepped forward to protect him.

She said in a pleading tone.

"Xiaohang, your brother knows he is wrong. Please forgive him this time. I will apologize to you."

After Li Zihang’s stepmother finished speaking, she bowed to him.

This bow completely changed Li Zihang's expression.

Just as grandma was about to speak angrily, she was stopped by the old man.

Li Zihang helped his stepmother up with a cold face, and then said.

"Are you pushing me or poking my spine?"

"An elder bows to a junior. Are you embarrassing me?"

Aunt Gu was able to use some tricks to get Li Zihang's father and make Li Zihang's mother accept her. How could she not have some tricks?

Li Zihang's stepmother quickly stood up and said.

"Xiao Hang, I didn't mean that. It's my fault for not disciplining Xiao Jie. Please forgive him for your father's sake, just this time~"

I don’t know if she is stupid or has some tricks up her sleeve, she actually dared to mention Li Zihang’s father at this time.

No one knows whether it is adding fuel to the fire or retreating to advance.

The old man stood up and glanced at Li Zihang's stepmother before leaving.

That look gave her the chills.

Grandma originally wanted to stop Li Zihang, but now she didn't want to say anything.

For a moment, the good meal was ruined by Li Sijie's words, and the Li family members left one after another.

At this time, the eldest brother also left with his wife and Yu Shui.

For a moment, Li Zihang and two other people were the only ones left in the restaurant.

Li Zihang looked at his stepmother and younger brother in front of him.

He didn't want to say anything more.

To put it bluntly.

"Aunt Gu, I advise you to forget your little thoughts."

"If I take action, I can only discipline Xiaojie. When grandpa takes action, there will be no place for you and your mother in this family."

After saying this, Li Zihang sighed again.

Then he spoke to Li Sijie in a serious and forceful tone.

"If you want to be a young master happily, then you have to understand the unspoken rules of this family. Otherwise, I'm afraid you will have to live your old life again~"

"Also, even if I didn't fight for that position, you wouldn't be able to sit there, let alone you."

"I have the heart to tolerate you, but you must not commit suicide."

After saying this, Li Zihang turned and left.

In Li Sijie's room in the backyard.

He was very emotional and yelled at his mother.

His voice was filled with anger and dissatisfaction, as if it could break through the walls of the room.

His expression was distorted, his eyes flashed with anger, and sharp words kept coming out of his mouth, like sharp swords stabbing into his mother's heart.

Li Sijie: "Why?"

"Why does everything belong to him?"

"I am not a descendant of the Li family?"

"He's been away from home for over a year, and I can't move into his room?"

"Why can he live in such a luxurious and large room by himself?"

"Why should the bed that grandpa built only be used by him?"

"I begged Grandpa for so long, but it was useless. That bed was idle and he couldn't even give it to me."

"Why should everyone in the family revolve around him?"

"Why? As soon as he came back, grandpa and grandma treated me differently."

"Why on earth is this possible? And there's that damn old man next door."

"No matter how I try to please him, it's useless. He still ignores me."

"Why can he talk and laugh with that old man, pamper him, and spoil him?"

"Why doesn't he even smile at me?"

In the midst of Li Sijie's heart-wrenching roar, Ju Ye had heard his words clearly.

Ju Ye's face was so gloomy that it almost turned into ice.

If Li Sijie was not the grandson of the old man, even if he was a junior in the clan, his legs would probably have been broken by now~
