Siheyuan: I can always stay out of it

The Liu family is in turmoil again.

Chen Xu judged it from the crying sound, went to the police station to take a statement, and waited for another two days. Liu Haizhong, who had been patient to the extreme, could no longer bear it.

The ruthless belt hit Liu Guangqi, who had already curled up into a ball, and the blood stains his clothes red.

This was the second time that Liu Haizhong beat Liu Guangqi. The first time was that night when Liu Guangqi was sent back by the police. He slapped Liu Guangqi in the face on the spot and beat his beloved eldest son so hard that he spun around several times.

But later he was stopped by the police. After all, catching the murderer was more important.

A few days passed, and Liu Haizhong estimated that he would not be able to get his belongings back, so he looked at Liu Guangqi with cruel eyes.

In fact, Liu Haizhong was not that worried about his money. Although he had lost his savings, he was a seventh-level forger in a steel rolling mill, earning more than 80 yuan a month, so he was not worried about not being able to support his family.

If Yi Zhonghai could recover from being penniless, naturally Liu Haizhong could too.

What he could not tolerate the most was Liu Guangqi's backstabbing.

This was his eldest son whom Liu Hai had spoiled for half his life, and this was how he was treated.

Don’t talk about marriage fraud. Even if you were not deceived, but you, Liu Guangqi, ran away with the family savings. What kind of behavior is this?

This is a real ungrateful person.

The deeper the love before, the greater the hatred now.

Liu Haizhong has now lost even his basic rationality, and he is determined to beat this rebellious son to death without any hesitation.

Fortunately, the Liu family still has the second aunt and two younger sons.

At this moment, several people went crazy and held on tightly to Liu Guangqi's father who was still holding the belt and trying to beat him to death.

Although the two younger brothers have always been dissatisfied with their eldest brother and father, it would be fine if the eldest brother was beaten to death, but their father really cannot be involved. Although Liu Haizhong doesn't treat them well, he has never deprived them of food.

If Liu Haizhong is gone, the Liu family will be finished.

"Let me go, you are rebelling, you are all ungrateful wolves, all of you..."

The audience also panicked and rushed forward to control the crazy Liu Haizhong. Chen Xu was now squatting beside Liu Guangqi to feel his breath and pulse, while Yan Bugui beside him was jumping in anxiety.

If someone died in the courtyard, and was beaten to death, Liu Haizhong would be unlucky, but he, as the third uncle, would probably not have an easy time either.

Chen Xu raised his head.

"He's not dead, but he needs to be taken to the hospital immediately."

Yan Bugui was overjoyed. He ordered several strong men in the courtyard to control Liu Haizhong and quickly asked his son to borrow a cart. He couldn't care less about being stingy at this moment. Someone had died, so how could he care so much?

Chen Xu had no choice but to follow Yan Bugui and others to send Liu Guangqi to the hospital. As for Liu Haizhong, he would probably have to stay in the street office for a few days.

Although it is natural for a father to beat his son, it is unacceptable to beat someone seriously. What's more, he is the second uncle of the courtyard house. He will definitely be taught a lesson for a few days. This is the case when Liu Guangqi can save him.

If Liu Guangqi really died, Liu Haizhong would definitely be sent to labor camp, not to mention eating peanuts.

"Which of you is a relative? Go and pay the medical expenses."

The nurse came over with a small notebook to notify everyone, and Chen Xu and others all looked at Yan Bugui.

Everyone here is young. You, Yan Bugui, are the oldest and the only one in charge of the hospital. If you don’t go out, who will?

The corners of Yan Bugui's mouth twitched, but he finally followed the nurse to pay the bill.

Chen Xu wanted to laugh for some reason. Old Yan had no choice but to pay the money.

But it's not a loss. Given Yan Bugui's character, if the money was really thrown into the water, he would never pay it out even if he was beaten to death.

Naturally, this money has to be counted towards the Liu family. Given Liu Haizhong's personality, he is unlikely to default on his debts. The second uncle still has to save his face.

Yan Bugui thought of this and was willing to pay the money temporarily. Maybe he could even use it to get a favor from Liu Haizhong.

Over at the courtyard, the subdistrict office took away Liu Haizhong, who had regained his sanity. Liu Haizhong seemed to have aged ten years and silently followed the comrades from the subdistrict office out of the courtyard.

In fact, everyone is quite sympathetic towards Liu Haizhong. If you ask yourself, if you were in his shoes, you might be the same as Liu Haizhong.

Every family is poor these days. Not only did they lose their family savings, but they also had to face their son's betrayal. It was understandable that Liu Haizhong used harsh force.

But sympathy aside, the arrest must be made. The country has its own laws and the family has its own rules. We can't just ignore it just because Liu Haizhong is in such a miserable state. That is not what the street office should do. The most they can do is to provide him with appropriate care.

Chen Xu stood at the door of the emergency room with nothing to do. Except Yan Jiecheng, the others were strangers and neighbors. He had been in the courtyard for so long that he didn't even recognize all their names.

The main reason is that these people either live in the middle courtyard or the front courtyard. Although they are neighbors in the courtyard, they really have no intersection, so naturally they can only barely recognize each other.

"Chen Xu, how are you doing in the steel mill now?"

Yan Jiecheng tried to make small talk. Apparently, waiting there was boring, so he might as well find something to talk about.

"It's OK, I can barely make a living."

Chen Xu was just being perfunctory, but these people still believed what he said.

This guy is very low-key in the courtyard. Usually he either brings back potatoes or cabbages. At the end of a month, he just gets some meat from Xu Damao. It seems that his natural conditions are not very good.

Moreover, this guy is basically directly responsible to the leader in the purchasing department. He is responsible for purchasing some things that the factory does not purchase openly, such as dry goods. Naturally, other people in the steel rolling mill in Siheyuan are not aware of this.

At most, it was just some of the purchased items he showed off, but it was still acceptable and worthy of his identity as an official buyer.

But even so, Yan Jiecheng was still very envious. After all, Chen Xu was now a formal employee, a real staff member with a permanent position and a real iron rice bowl.

He also went to the steel mill when it was recruiting and chose to be a worker, but naturally he was not successful.

At that time, applying for a job as a worker was like a huge army crossing a single-plank bridge. If Chen Xu had chosen to be a worker at that time, he would have had no chance.

The same is true for the young people next to them. Few of them have formal jobs. At most, they will take over their parents' jobs in the future. It is too difficult for them to get a formal job themselves.

It was not easy for Chen Xu to get a formal job on his own, whether it was due to luck or ability.

The younger generation in Siheyuan do not have as complicated ideas as the older generation. They envy Chen Xu and admire him a little.

After all, not everyone can get a job and a house on their own in a short period of time. Chen Xu is the first one in Siheyuan. In their eyes, this is called promising.

When Yan Bugui came back, he looked like his father had died. He kept saying that the hospital charges were too high and he directly paid 30 yuan, which was not a small amount of money.

Liu Guangqi will probably have to stay in the hospital for a while. Thirty yuan may seem like a lot, but if the subsequent medical expenses are included, it is really not expensive.

After all, whether it is now or in the 21st century, once you enter a hospital, you have no say in what you pay. You have to pay whatever they say. In other places, you can bargain, but I have never heard of bargaining in a hospital.

Yan Bugui's bargaining skills were of no use in the hospital.
