Siheyuan: A Family of Loyal and Brave People

The night was dark, and all the residents in the courtyard had turned off their lights and were resting. Only a faint light was flickering in Liu Haizhong's house in the backyard. The flame of the kerosene lamp swayed in the wind, just like Liu Guangtian's uneasy mood, which could not be calmed for a long time.

Liu Haizhong, with a sullen face, didn't even look at his two sons. He walked to the solid wooden wardrobe with the urn in his hand and placed it steadily on the top.

After doing all this, Liu Haizhong's expression suddenly changed. He turned around and looked at his two sons with a cold brow, his breathing becoming heavier.

Seeing their father in a bad mood, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu were so scared that they froze on the table, even their breathing stopped. Liu Guangtian even wanted to slap himself in the face, why did he say anything too much just now.

It was too late to regret. Liu Haizhong walked to the dining table aggressively and let out a suppressed roar-like voice.

"I haven't even come back yet and you've already eaten.

It seems that you don’t take me seriously.”

Liu Haizhong's tone gradually rose, and his voice contained endless anger.

Things didn't go well outside today, and Liu Haizhong was filled with anger, and the Liu Guangtian brother was in trouble.

"Dad...I...we left it for you..."

Liu Guangtian squeezed out a few words from between his teeth. However, his explanation was not recognized by his father, and the anger in his bangs burned even more vigorously.

"How dare you quibble!"

Liu Haizhong stretched out his hands, grabbed his two sons by the collars from behind, roughly pulled them off the stool, and threw them to the ground.

"Ouch~"

The poor Liu Guangtian and his brother suffered for no reason. They were thrown around by their father and were so dizzy that they covered their buttocks, grimaced, and gasped.

"You two little bastards, I shouldn't have given birth to you in the first place!

If Guangqi was still here, if Guangqi was still here..."

Liu Haizhong's voice was high-pitched, and the more he spoke, the more emotional he became, to the point where he could no longer control himself.

"You unfilial little bastards, I'll beat you to death!"

Liu Haizhong leaned over and pulled Liu Guangtian up, then slapped him in the face mercilessly with a palm as big as a palm fan.

The sound of "Pa Pa" slapped the room, which was exactly the same as when Cheng Hao hit his bangs during the day.

That's right, Liu Haizhong wanted to vent the humiliation and pain he had received today on his child. Since he couldn't beat Cheng Hao or He Yuzhu, he could only use his child as a punching bag.

Liu Guangtian was just a child, with limited ability to withstand blows, and Liu Haizhong had no sense of measure. After more than a dozen slaps, Liu Guangtian was beaten unconscious.

Even so, Liu Haizhong still did not stop and looked like he was going to beat him to death.

"Lao Liu, stop hitting me, stop hitting me, if you continue I will be in big trouble..." Liu Haizhong's wife hugged him from behind and begged bitterly.

She had already lost one son and didn't want to lose another.

"shut up!"

Liu Haizhong slapped his wife in the face with his backhand and glared at her and yelled.

"It's all because of you. If you hadn't spoiled them, they would have become like this?!

Don't beg them for mercy, or I'll teach you a lesson later."

He pushed his wife away and threw the unconscious Liu Guangtian on the ground like garbage. Liu Haizhong turned his head to look at Liu Guangfu who was standing there in a daze.

Seeing the miserable state of his second brother and feeling the pressure from his father, Liu Guangfu finally reacted. He stood up and crawled to escape.

But a child couldn't run faster than an adult. Liu Haizhong easily caught Liu Guangfu and lifted him into the air.

"Okay, you little bastard, you still dare to run, let's see if you dare to do it again!"

Liu Haizhong pinched Liu Guangfu's chin and slapped him without saying a word.

Liu Guangfu struggled desperately, not knowing whether it was instinctive or intentional, and opened his mouth to bite down on the hand in his bangs.

"hiss."

Liu Haizhong's hand trembled in pain and he let go of Liu Guangfu. He looked down and found that a piece of flesh on his hand had been bitten off and bright red blood was oozing out of the wound.

Now Liu Haizhong's anger was even more uncontrollable. The two little bastards at home actually dared to resist. If he didn't teach them a lesson, they would cause chaos in the future.

"Little beast!"

Liu Haizhong leaned down and grabbed Liu Guangfu's neck, and began to slap him crazily, hitting him until his head hurt and blood came out of the corner of his mouth.

"Stop hitting me, stop hitting me, please stop hitting me..."

Seeing her youngest son being beaten like this, Liu Haizhong's wife couldn't bear it, so she snatched Liu Guangfu from her husband's hands and held him tightly in her arms.

"You stinky bitch, if you dare to resist me, I will take care of you too!"

Liu Haizhong raised his fist and hit his wife without hesitation.

For a moment, wailing sounds echoed throughout the backyard. Many neighbors opened their windows and leaned out to watch, but no one came to stop them.

Liu Haizhong beating his wife and children is the Liu family's family affair, and the neighbors should not interfere.

Besides, everyone knows who Liu Haizhong is. If he goes crazy and doesn’t care about anything, they don’t want to get beaten up.

……

Freed from the interference, Cheng Hao's life returned to normal and his wedding with Xu Yun was being prepared in full swing.

A few days later on the weekend, the wedding was held as scheduled in Cheng Hao's new home.

Cheng Hao got up early that day and touched the quilt next to him but couldn't find the person sleeping next to him.

Xu Yun returned to the Xu family after get off work yesterday and was waiting for Cheng Hao to come and pick her up.

Thinking of his beautiful wife, Cheng Hao did not dare to neglect her. He quickly got out of bed, changed his clothes and got busy.

After opening the gate and waiting for the agreed time, I saw He Yuzhu leading a few familiar faces moving in in an orderly manner with various cooking utensils and ingredients.

"Brother Hao."

"Captain."

He Yuzhu was accompanied by several senior members from the 702nd Regiment.

Their family happened to live in Sijiu City, so when they heard that Cheng Hao was getting married, they naturally rushed over to help.

"Today is my big day, and I'm going to rely on you a lot."

Cheng Hao took out a few packs of Daqianmen from his pocket and distributed them one by one.

"Brother Hao, don't worry about me. I'm here, go pick up your sister-in-law."

He Yuzhu put away the cigarette and nodded at Cheng Hao.

Cheng Hao didn't waste any time and rode his newly bought bicycle towards Xu's house.

Facing the morning breeze, Cheng Hao rode all the way to the door of Xu's house without any hindrance.

As soon as he stopped, servants from the Xu family came to greet him.

Soon, Xu Yun, dressed in new clothes and simple attire, looking like a lotus in clear water, walked to the first floor accompanied by her parents.

The moment she saw Cheng Hao, Xu Yun showed a sweet and brilliant smile, like a blooming flower. Only when she turned around and looked at her parents did her eyes reveal a hint of reluctance and a hint of sadness.

After today, Xu Yun will become someone else's wife.

Xu's father comforted Xu Yun gently, then walked over and handed his daughter to Cheng Hao.

"Comrade Cheng Hao, Yun'er is now in your care."

Girls grow up and cannot be kept at home. Xu Yun is in her twenties and it is time for her to get married. If she doesn't get married, she will become an old maid.

You should know that many women of the same age are pregnant with their second child at this age.

"I will never let her suffer any injustice."

Cheng Hao took his bride and made a sincere promise.

For the rest of their lives, no matter what, the couple must support and care for each other and create their own happiness together.
