Siheyuan: A Family of Loyal and Brave People

As the moon rises above the branches, people who have been busy all day finally have a moment of leisure.

Inside the courtyard, a group of neighbors gathered in the middle yard, sitting in a big circle along the wall, discussing in groups of three or four what had happened during the day.

"Hey, everyone, be quiet, be quiet."

Yi Zhonghai walked into the crowd, pressed his hands down, and signaled everyone to be quiet.

After a round of shouting, the noisy sounds in the yard finally subsided.

Although the residents in the courtyard have equal status, Yi Zhonghai is a skilled worker at the nearby Red Star Steel Mill. His income is much higher than that of ordinary people. He is usually helpful and has some prestige in the courtyard.

At least the neighbors are still willing to give them some face.

“Everyone should have seen the notice in the alley.

From now on, Luoguxiang will be under the jurisdiction of Xining Sub-district Office.

Everyone knows who the director of Xining Sub-district Office is.

I wonder if each family should chip in some money to show their appreciation?"

The county magistrate is not as good as the current one. Before, Yi Zhonghai was not under Cheng Hao's jurisdiction, so he still had some luck. Now that he has been assigned to someone else's territory, he has truly become a fish on the chopping board, with no room for turning back.

Yi Zhonghai was afraid that Cheng Hao would trip him up, so he wanted to take the opportunity to admit his mistake and ask for leniency.

Of course, all of this was Yi Zhonghai's wishful thinking. Cheng Hao didn't even take him seriously.

Cheng Hao had just lost his temper in the courtyard over the weekend, and everyone was still frightened and didn't dare to express their opinions easily for fear of getting into trouble.

Seeing that the neighbors didn't say anything, Yi Zhonghai stood there, feeling a little embarrassed.

After a while, someone finally spoke, but the first thing he said was his objection.

"I disagree!"

Yi Zhonghai frowned slightly, looked in the direction of the voice, and soon found a figure leaning on a chair in the crowd.

“Liu Haizhong, I know you had some conflicts with Director Cheng in the past.

But it's all over, and Director Cheng didn't hold on to it, so what do you have to say?"

If Yi Zhonghai is the peace advocate in the Siheyuan, who is submissive and willing to seek peace, then Liu Haizhong is the war advocate in the Siheyuan, who would fight to the end and would rather die in glory than live in disgrace.

Since Liu Guangqi's death, Liu Haizhong's hair has become increasingly twisted and extreme.

When Liu Haizhong thought of the humiliation he suffered in front of Cheng Hao, he became so angry that his teeth itched and he couldn't calm down at all.

"Oh, Yi Zhonghai, do you think you can get any great benefits by collecting some money and buying some things to flatter Cheng Hao?

dream!

Cheng Hao is so aloof. If you send him something, he won’t be grateful but will resent you. Then…”

Liu Haizhong moved his body and looked at Yi Zhonghai's dark face, feeling a little relieved.

If Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui had not deserted the battlefield, he would not have been so miserable.

Half of the injuries on Liu Haizhong's body were caused by these two people.

Singing a different tune tonight is just the interest Liu Haizhong gets. Once his injuries heal, he will take more intense revenge.

Looking at the arrogant Liu Haizhong, Yi Zhonghai's eyes flashed with a gloomy look, and he asked coldly: "Liu Haizhong, then what do you think we should do?"

Yi Zhonghai took the opportunity to put the blame on Liu Haizhong. If he couldn't come up with a decent idea, he would become a laughing stock among the neighbors.

"Aren't you just afraid that Cheng Hao will come and cause trouble?

Wouldn't it be better to find a way to remove Cheng Hao from the position of director?"

When these words were spoken, the neighbors present all widened their eyes, and many of them looked horrified.

I didn't expect Liu Haizhong to be so bold as to say such things in public.

If Cheng Hao heard it, we would be in big trouble.

“Liu Haizhong, are you seriously injured and your mind is confused?

I think you should go back and rest early."

At the critical moment, it was Yan Bugui who stood up and interrupted Liu Haizhong's insolence.

Conspiring to get rid of government officials is a serious crime, and Yan Bugui was afraid of being implicated.

Moreover, Yan Bugui already had a plan in mind. He would find an opportunity tomorrow to reveal everything that happened tonight to Cheng Hao to avoid being implicated.

As for Liu Haizhong, Yan Bugui didn't care about his life or death.

"I'm not confused, you are confused.

Think about the past, think about the past few years, how many times have you guys harmed Cheng Hao?

He is not a fool, he has not forgotten, he has always kept it in mind, and he is just waiting for an opportunity to ask you for the debt!"

With his bangs pressed against the armrest, his voice became increasingly high-pitched and intense.

He stood up tremblingly, looked around, and said firmly: "Last time I asked him for help, he set me up and tricked me miserably, without any regard for our friendship.

You treat me like this, do you think you can get away with it?

While we still have some strength left, let's unite and resist. There is still a chance.

If you give in, you will be slaughtered."

Yi Zhonghai's face turned pale. He wanted to open his mouth to refute, but the words turned into a long sigh.

"We've been neighbors for more than ten years, so it shouldn't be that serious."

“Not really?!”

He let out a playful laugh through his bangs.

"Cheng Hao has been on the battlefield and has killed people. You all know how ruthless he is.

Let me ask you, if you become rich one day, will you let go of the enemies who have harmed you in the past? "

Liu Haizhong suffered the heaviest blow, and was also the first to give up his illusions and prepare for battle.

Now what he has to do is to drag a group of neighbors in the yard to fight against Cheng Hao, even if it means pushing everyone into the fire pit.

All the neighbors present were dejected. In the past, Cheng Hao had no parents and was alone and helpless, so they had indeed taken the opportunity to make things difficult for him and harm him. But after all, he was just a brat with no ability to resist, so what could they do if they bullied him?

However, they did not expect that in just a few years, Cheng Hao would rise to the position that they needed to look up to.

This is a bit uncomfortable.

"Everyone, don't listen to Liu Haizhong's nonsense, I think he has gone crazy.

It's just a trivial matter from the past, it doesn't matter at all.

Besides, Cheng Hao is the director of the subdistrict office. What can we do?

Let's go back and have a shower and go to bed."

Yan Bugui believed that he had already paid off his debts and was unwilling to go crazy with Liu Haizhong.

It would be reliable to find time to sell Liu Haizhong. Doing anything else would be courting death.

"Who said there is no way? No matter how high Cheng Hao's position is, he can't cover up everything.

We just need to..."

Without waiting for Liu Haizhong to finish speaking, the neighbors picked up their benches and dispersed.

It is true that the relationship between the neighbors in the yard and Cheng Hao is strained, but it has not yet reached the point of a life-and-death struggle.

Besides, if the sky falls, there will be someone taller to hold it up. Liu Haizhong is so hostile to Cheng Hao.

Even if Cheng Hao wanted to take revenge, he would take revenge on him first, and the neighbors would just stand by and watch the fun as usual.

"Hey, you guys, don't leave..."

After finally standing in the center of the stage, Liu Haizhong was about to give a passionate performance, but unexpectedly, all the audience ran away.

"Liu Haizhong, save your breath.

Instead of worrying about Cheng Hao’s revenge, it is better to beat the child less often to avoid disturbing the neighbors.

Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu are running around in the yard all day long. Yesterday they destroyed the potted plants I planted. You have to keep them under control."
