Siheyuan: Grassroots Counterattack

The car quickly drove to Li Huaide's house. Xiao Zhou got out of the car and knocked on the door. His aunt's voice came from the yard. Soon the door opened and his aunt stood at the door.

Seeing Li Tianyi, the aunt was obviously surprised, "Tianyi, why are you back? Come in!"

The aunt-in-law quickly invited Li Tianyi into the house. Li Tianyi gestured to Xiao Zhou and Xiao Zhao to wait in the car for a while, and he would come out soon, then walked into the house with the aunt-in-law.

"Aunt, are you and uncle all right?"

"Everything is fine. We are all fine. How are you and Xiaoxue?"

"We can do it too. Is uncle at home?" Li Tianyi asked.

"He's at home, reading in the study. I'll call him right away."

Li Tianyi quickly stopped his aunt, "Aunt, don't shout it out. Just go into the study and call my uncle out. I came to Sijiu City to carry out a mission. The fewer people who know about it, the better."

My aunt nodded in understanding and hurried into the study.

After a while, Li Huaide and his wife walked quickly into the yard. Seeing Li Tianyi, Li Huaide stepped forward excitedly, but when he saw Li Tianyi's injured arm, Li Huaide's face changed.

"Tianyi, what's wrong with your hand?" Li Huaide's words also made the aunt-in-law notice Li Tianyi's injured arm.

"It's okay, I was just hit by a bullet." Li Tianyi's nonchalant attitude made Li Huaide's heart sink. He knew that there must be something wrong, but Li Tianyi just didn't say it.

Since Li Tianyi was not in a position to speak, Li Huaide did not ask and quickly let Li Tianyi into the house.

After both parties sat down, they briefly asked each other about their situation, and Li Tianyi also explained to him that he was on a business trip to Sijiu City.

Although he didn't know what Li Tianyi was doing specifically, just based on the gunshot wound, Li Huaide knew that Li Tianyi must be doing something remarkable.

Li Tianyi also asked Li Huaide to take care of his family. He was not in the old city and was worried about his family.

Of course Li Huaide agreed readily. After that, Li Tianyi asked about the situation of the steel mill. Now the steel mill was firmly in the hands of Li Huaide. Several deputy factory directors who were dissatisfied were demoted to sweep the streets by Li Huaide for various reasons.

Li Tianyi looked at the complacent Li Huaide and couldn't help but admire Li Huaide's ability in his heart, but he still had to remind Li Huaide.

"Uncle, I know you are very proud of yourself now, but you should not do everything and should not use up all your efforts. You should leave yourself a way out. You should remember that things change over time."

Li Huaide pondered over Li Tianyi's words. He knew that Li Tianyi would not say these things for no reason. He must know some news.

"Tianyi, do you know something?"

Li Tianyi smiled and shook his head, without answering Li Huaide's question. Li Huaide did not ask any more questions, but he was thinking about the meaning of Li Tianyi's words in his heart.

After that, the two chatted about some other things, and then Li Tianyi said goodbye and left.

Looking outside the gate, two guards escorted Li Tianyi into the car. Li Huaide's face was calm, but his heart was in turmoil.

After Li Tianyi's car disappeared, Li Huaide and his wife returned home. As soon as they closed the door, the aunt couldn't help asking, "Old Li, what is Tianyi doing now? How come he looks more powerful than my dad?"

Li Huaide sat on a stool in the yard, still thinking about Li Tianyi's words, and didn't hear what his wife said at all. His aunt-in-law pushed Li Huaide in dissatisfaction, which woke Li Huaide up.

"Wife, what's the matter?"

The aunt rolled her eyes and repeated her words. Li Huaide thought for a moment and said, "I don't know what he is doing now. He hardly went to the steel mill a year before he joined the army."

"But judging from the current situation, his position is probably not low. There are two guards following him now, and they come and go in a hurry. This should be arranged by the superiors to protect him after he was injured last time."

Li Huaide glanced at his wife, then continued, "Don't tell anyone about what happened today. Let's go to Dad's place this afternoon, and I'll talk to him in person. Don't tell anyone, okay?"

My aunt nodded to show that she understood.

As for Li Tianyi, seeing that it was almost noon, he asked Xiao Zhao to drive to a state-owned restaurant. The three of them ordered three stir-fried dishes, one meat and two vegetables, and three bowls of rice.

After lunch, Li Tianyi asked Xiao Zhao to drive to the military district’s family compound. An hour later, Li Tianyi’s car stopped at the gate of the military district compound. The sentry checked Li Tianyi’s ID, saluted, and let him pass.

Under Xiao Zhou's guidance, Xiao Zhao drove to the small building where Mr. Shen lived. Before he got out of the car, he saw Mr. Shen and his aunt packing their things. It seemed that they would move out of the military compound in a day or two.

The neighbors nearby were all watching, and no one came out to help, for fear of being implicated by the Shen family.

Li Tianyi's car was parked in front of the Shen family's door, which caused discussions among the surrounding neighbors. You know, ever since the Shen family got into trouble, no one has come to visit them. No one knows who dares to mess with the Shen family this time.

Mr. Shen and his aunt naturally also saw the car parked outside the gate. Before they could figure out who was coming, Li Tianyi had already gotten out of the car.

Mr. Shen and my aunt were shocked and hurried out the door.

Li Tianyi was the first to greet, "Grandpa, aunt, are you all right?"

Grandpa Shen looked excited, while aunt was in tears. Ever since Uncle Shen got into trouble, Old Man Shen strictly ordered the children to come back home, and aunt had been under pressure. After seeing Li Tianyi, all the grievances in her heart were vented out at once.

Li Tianyi supported his aunt. Grandpa Shen looked at his daughter-in-law crying and scolded her in a deep voice, "Okay, if you have anything to say, go inside and talk."

The three of them went into the house, while Xiao Zhou and Xiao Zhao stood guard in the yard.

As soon as he entered the house, Li Tianyi found that all the original furniture in the house was gone. Except for some daily necessities, clothes, etc., there was nothing else.

My aunt also knew what was going on in the house, so she hurried into the kitchen and took out two stools, handing one to Mr. Shen and the other to Li Tianyi.

Li Tianyi waved his hands quickly, indicating that he would just stand. After Mr. Shen and his aunt sat down, Li Tianyi asked the question in his heart: "Grandpa, with your qualifications, uncle should be fine, why was he isolated and investigated so suddenly?"

Elder Shen sighed, and my aunt also looked unhappy. After a long while, Elder Shen finally spoke: "If you want to blame someone, blame Shen Qingshan himself. He has no control over his mouth and says whatever he wants."

Li Tianyi looked at his aunt in confusion, and his aunt also said: "Your uncle complained to the political commissar in the office about the chaos in society. Unexpectedly, the patrol team arrested your uncle the next day. We didn't know the reason at first, but later your grandfather asked his old comrade to find out, and then we found out that the political commissar reported your uncle."
