Siheyuan: Bringing Warehouses to 1959

In the central courtyard, Liu Guangfu stood dejectedly, holding a banana peel in his hand.

Banggeng was the worst off, with a face covered in mud and the half banana he hadn't finished was gone.

Xiaoqiang and Laifu stared at Liu Guangfu and Banggeng with hatred, still not satisfied. They didn't say a word since they were taken to the Intermediate Court.

Zhang Xiuzhi held a kitchen knife and stood in front of her two brothers-in-law with murderous intent.

Liu Haizhong and Yi Zhonghai came, and Qin Huairu came, using the cloth from home to wipe the mud off Banggeng.

Shazhu is having a headache. Why are there so many things happening in Siheyuan every day? As an old man, I am too busy.

In addition to the victims, there are also neighbors who have just benefited from the incident.

A fight between children is not a big deal, but when it involves the Zeng family, it becomes a different matter.

"Today, every household in the courtyard has delicious food. You guys are causing me a lot of trouble. Why are you fighting?" Sha Zhu stepped forward to mediate. He glanced at Xiao Qiang and Lai Fu. When they didn't say anything, he looked at Liu Guangfu and Bang Geng and asked a different question, "So... who started it first?"

"It was him, Zeng Xiaoqiang!" Liu Guangfu immediately became excited, "He started it first, he kicked me in the stomach."

"Xiao Qiang was the first to make the move, so, so..." Sha Zhu said those two words and couldn't utter the following words "You were wrong".

If Zeng Wangcai were here and heard Sha Zhu's questions during the mediation, he would definitely find them very familiar, because he had seen them many times in his previous life.

Fortunately, Sha Zhu didn't say the rest, thinking about the great benefits Zeng Jiagang had given to the people in the courtyard.

But just because he doesn’t say it doesn’t mean others won’t say it.

Yi Zhonghai winked at Liu Haizhong, signaling Liu Haizhong to speak.

Liu Haizhong was also confused today. He thought that he had hooked up with a high-ranking official and would soon go to work in a machinery factory. He didn't need to care too much about the courtyard, so he questioned, "It's wrong to hit someone first. How can you hit someone at such a young age? I say, Shazhu, this matter may not seem big, but you can't protect it. It's not a big deal for children to fight. Let's be generous and let them apologize and that's it."

Liu Haizhong would be satisfied if he got an apology, and he didn't want anything else.

Yi Zhonghai stared at Sha Zhu closely. The reason why he let Liu Haizhong take the lead was because he felt that Sha Zhu was favoring the Zeng family.

There is no way Shazhu will give up, this is his only hope for retirement.

Xiaoqiang and Laifu were extremely stubborn this time. They said nothing and continued to stare at Liu Guangfu and Banggeng with hatred. They had no intention of apologizing at all.

Zeng Youqian and his wife stood there calmly, with no intention of intervening, and obviously handed the right of disposal to Zhang Xiuzhi.

Sha Zhu was a soft-hearted person. Hearing this, he looked at Zhang Xiuzhi and said, "Xiuzhi, why don't you make a big deal out of a small matter and let them apologize. It's just a fight between children. It's not a big deal."

This act of smoothing things over is exactly the same as Yi Zhonghai's.

If it were an ordinary family, they would probably admit it on the spot and force their children to apologize and that would be the end of the matter.

But Zhang Xiuzhi didn't. She raised the kitchen knife in her hand, put one hand on her waist and said, "You haven't figured out the whole thing yet, what's there to apologize for? The one who started it first must be wrong? Wait a minute." After expressing her general idea, she turned to her two brothers-in-law and said, "Why are you fighting? Tell me! If you are right, I will seek justice for you. If you are not right, I will beat you two idiots to death."

"Sister-in-law, he was the first one to scold my elder brother!" Lai Fu was very angry. "He called my elder brother a lousy soldier and a liar, so my brother beat him."

Case solved!

Zhang Xiuzhi turned around and said to Liu Guangfu and Banggeng without saying anything: "It was you who scolded me?"

Intimidated by Zhang Xiuzhi's aura, Liu Guangfu didn't dare to speak and looked at his father. Banggeng did the same and looked at Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu relied on the fact that she was a woman and felt that her son had suffered a loss, so she immediately stopped him and said, "Xiuzhi, the children are just making noises, there is no need to take it seriously, right? Look at our Banggeng, he is like this, let's forget about it, I will talk to him later."

When Banggeng saw that his mother was standing up for him, he turned up his little mouth and looked at Lai Fu with some pride, making the shape of "stinky soldier" with his mouth.

Lai Fu saw this and shouted angrily: "Look, sister-in-law, he is still cursing!"

Zhang Xiuzhi lowered her head and saw Banggeng shut up. She raised her kitchen knife and threatened, "Sister-in-law Qin, you are not good at parenting. Do you want to take care of this child? If you don't, I will do it for you."

"I...how can I manage them!" Qin Huairu's expression instantly turned sad when she heard this, and she cried pitifully, "Our family is in this state. I'm exhausted from work, and I have to cook for them when I come home. How can I discipline them..."

Playing the victim is one of Qin Huairu’s trump cards!

After she made such a fuss, many soft-hearted neighbors couldn't bear it.

Zhang Xiuzhi didn't buy her nonsense. To be precise, she had already heard everything from Zeng Wangcai about what the people in the courtyard were like.

"It seems that Sister Qin can't control it herself, and doesn't want others to interfere. Okay!" Zhang Xiuzhi put down the kitchen knife and said calmly, "I am an adult and can't do such a thing as hitting a child. Then hand it over to the juvenile detention center. I want to see if anyone will take care of them when they scold the soldiers..."

Snapped!

Before Zhang Xiuzhi could finish her words, Qin Huairu raised her hand and slapped Bang Geng, who was still grinning smugly.

"I told you to be obedient, but you just wouldn't. If you were sent to a juvenile detention center, you would feel comfortable eating jail food like your grandmother, right?" Qin Huairu slapped her son mercilessly. When she looked up at Zhang Xiuzhi who didn't let up, she hardened her heart, increased her strength, and slapped him again.

Going to jail is what everyone in Qin Huairu's family fears the most right now.

Seeing that Banggeng’s face was swollen, Zhang Xiuzhi let him go and turned to face Liu Guangfu.

Seeing Zhang Xiuzhi's strong defense, Liu Haizhong gave in in an instant and slapped Liu Guangfu in the face: "You bastard, you're still swearing at me. Do you think you can swear at a soldier? Apologize!"

The way he beat the child was so skillful that Liu Guangfu had no chance to dodge at all.

Feeling the burning sensation on his face, Liu Guangfu and Ma Shan bent down and said, "I'm sorry, I was wrong. I have a foul mouth. I won't do it again!"

The fight was temporarily over as the two families gave in.

But at night, Liu Guangfu and Banggeng gathered outside the yard, and neither of them was convinced.

"Uncle Guangfu, how can we deal with Zeng Xiaoqiang and the other two?" Banggeng asked.

I can’t beat their family in a fight, let alone in terms of wealth.

"I have a way to embarrass them." Liu Guangfu thought for a while and said, "Tomorrow you invite the two of them. Let's go to the back of the steel mill and find a place to compete to see who has more rare things at home, including food and toys. Whoever loses will call the other grandpa when they meet in the future.

"I'm going to call all the brothers nearby. They've lost face. No one will hang out with them anymore. Wait until their eldest brother comes back. Who will want to play with them anymore?"

"But we don't have anything to eat at home."

"Silly, does he have any bananas? Does he have any cakes? Let's get some roasted cicadas, and you can go around to each house to see if there are any good things. Just bring some over, and at worst, everything you take will be yours, and you can eat more when you eat."

"That's fine. I heard there are chickens in the steel mill. Let's go get one and roast it. They won't be able to compete with us."

Banggeng is going to steal the chicken, make arrangements!
