Siheyuan: A Family of Loyal and Brave People

Liu Haizhong was very angry after being taken back to the police station, criticized and fined.

Liu Haizhong blamed Cheng Hao for all the suffering he had experienced, blaming Cheng Hao for not helping him and for favoring Deputy Director Luo, causing him to suffer.

Now that they happened to meet on the street, Liu Haizhong would certainly not let her go easily.

Looking at the arrogant Liu Haizhong, before Cheng Hao could say anything, He Yuzhu couldn't help but pointed at him and cursed: "Liu Haizhong, I usually give you some points because of the sacrifice of Liu Guangqi, not because I am afraid of you.

If you dare to push me around again, don't blame me for being rude!"

He Yuzhu raised his fist and looked at Liu Haizhong fiercely, with a grim look in his eyes.

Even though He Yuzhu was a cook in the army, he had killed people before. If they really started fighting, Liu Haizhong would never be his opponent.

"Hey, Silly Zhu, you seem to be getting angrier after not seeing you for a few days.

I usually call you He Yuzhu because I feel sorry for you, but you idiot, do you really think you are someone important?

What does my conversation with Cheng Hao have to do with you? Get out of my way!"

Liu Haizhong smiled contemptuously and did not take He Yuzhu's warning seriously at all.

In Liu Haizhong's opinion, He Yuzhu is nothing but a burden abandoned by his father. He is a lousy cook in the army and is not presentable.

"In bangs!"

He Yuzhu was furious and raised his fist to beat him up.

Just as he took a step, he was held down by Cheng Hao.

"Zhu Zi, he came for me.

Let me deal with it myself."

When facing an unreasonable idiot like Liu Haizhong, it's useless to persuade him with kind words; you have to use your fists to do it.

Cheng Hao pulled He Yuzhu behind him and strode towards Liu Haizhong with a calm expression.

As if sensing the hostility in Cheng Hao's silence, Liu Haizhong, who was holding the urn, couldn't help but take a few steps back in fear, and his legs began to shake.

"Don't come over here. Guangqi's ashes are still in my hands. If they are scattered..."

Without waiting for Liu Haizhong to finish speaking, Cheng Hao walked up to him, snatched the urn from his hand, and then kicked him to the ground with lightning speed.

"Liu Guangqi is a great man, but it's a pity that he has a father like you who tarnishes his reputation as a martyr."

Cheng Hao placed the urn gently on the ground, a hint of sadness revealed in his low voice.

"Cheng Hao...you...you..."

Facing Cheng Hao who was pressing him step by step, Liu Haizhong ignored the pain and kept moving his body backwards.

"you can not do that……"

Cheng Hao sighed softly, walked forward, grabbed the collar of his bangs, pulled it up, and then slapped him in the face repeatedly with his thick palm.

"Crack, crack, crack..."

A crisp slapping sound was heard, and the face inside the bangs became red and swollen.

When he came to cause trouble, Liu Haizhong was still arrogant. Now that he was caught by Cheng Hao, he didn't even dare to resist and could only let Cheng Hao deal with him.

The pain on his face and the huge sense of shame kept hitting his bangs. He pursed his lips and wanted to cry but had no tears.

When today's incident was reported back to the hospital, he was completely embarrassed.

After an unknown amount of time, Cheng Hao, who had calmed down, threw Liu Haizhong onto the ground like trash, looked down at him and said calmly, "Don't let me see you again."

After saying this, without waiting for Liu Haizhong to say anything harsh, Cheng Hao turned around and left.

He Yuzhu, who was standing at the back, watched Cheng Hao show off his power silently. When he saw his swollen cheeks in his bangs, he laughed wildly without caring about his image.

Usually Liu Haizhong is arrogant and domineering in the yard, but now he has been beaten by Cheng Hao and he has no temper at all. The contrast is really shocking.

Liu Haizhong, who was lying on the ground, raised his head with difficulty and looked at He Yuzhu who was laughing. He was so angry that he almost fainted. In the end, he could only lie back on the ground gasping for breath.

Assholes like Liu Haizhong are strong on the outside but weak on the inside, and can only bully the weak and the honest people. When Cheng Hao doesn't want to pay attention to him, he can still jump a few times. If he is really determined to punish him, he won't even have room to fight back, and can only be pressed to the ground and rubbed.

"Don't make trouble when you go back, bury Liu Guangqi's ashes in the Martyrs' Cemetery and accept the corresponding compensation, otherwise you will bear the consequences yourself."

Cheng Hao did not look back. His last words were not addressed to Liu Haizhong, but to Liu Guangqi.

As a soldier, Cheng Hao couldn't bear to see Liu Guangqi rest in peace after his death.

Of course, Liu Haizhong was determined to commit suicide by walking around with the urn in his arms, and there was nothing he could do about it.

……

In summer, nightfall is delayed.

When the sun sets completely, every family in the courtyard has finished dinner. The children are doing their homework in the house, and the adults, who have been busy all day, carry benches and palm-leaf fans to the open spaces in the courtyard to cool off and chat to relieve boredom.

In the backyard, inside the Liu family's house, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu stared at the food on the table, swallowing their saliva from time to time, their eyes full of longing.

Normally, dinner should have been served by this time, but today Liu Haizhong had not returned yet, so the Liu family was unable to serve dinner.

"Goo~"

Liu Guangfu's stomach rumbled. He pursed his lips, turned to look at his mother, and said carefully, "Mom, why hasn't Dad come back yet?"

"Wait a little longer, your dad will be back soon."

Mother Liu sighed slightly, rubbed her youngest son's head and comforted him softly.

She was hungry too, but Liu Haizhong hadn't come back yet, so how could the Liu family dare to prepare dinner?

Since Liu Guangqi's death, Liu Haizhong's temper has become increasingly violent. Not only has the frequency of beating his children increased dramatically, but the frequency of beating his wife has also increased.

Yesterday, Liu Haizhong beat his wife on the couch because she didn't like the food. Her wounds haven't healed yet.

"It's so late now, I don't think Dad will be back tonight.

Let’s eat first.

At worst, I can leave him a copy."

Liu Guangtian, who replaced Liu Guangqi as the eldest son of the Liu family, was so hungry that he suggested eating first.

Being hungry is more painful than being beaten.

"Wait a little longer, wait a little longer, if your dad doesn't come back we'll have dinner."

Liu's mother looked at the dark night outside the window and finally came up with a compromise.

The three of them sat at the dining table for a long time, until the noise outside the yard gradually subsided, and Liu Haizhong still didn't come back.

The three people were so hungry that they had to leave a portion of food for Liu Haizhong, and then began to enjoy their late dinner.

As soon as the two children got permission, they started to eat voraciously. Halfway through their meal, a figure suddenly flashed past the window.

Then the door suddenly opened, scaring the two children so much that they choked.

"Lao Liu, you're back."

The person who came in was none other than Liu Haizhong, who was holding the urn.

However, the urn high in the bangs covered half of the face, leaving only a pair of red eyes, which looked very strange.

After closing the door, Liu Haizhong put down the urn and glanced outside vigilantly a few times. He felt relieved only when he was sure that there was no one behind him.

Liu Haizhong's face was badly swollen, and he didn't want his neighbors to see him like this, so he kept hanging around outside and only returned to the yard when it was almost closing time.

"Cough cough~"

Liu Guangtian coughed a few times and finally swallowed the food stuck in his throat. Only then did he notice the red and swollen face in his bangs.

"Dad, what's wrong with your face..."
