Siheyuan: A Family of Loyal and Brave People

In the empty central courtyard, the toothless Jia Zhang's eyes were wide open and she let out a low, suppressed roar.

"Damn Liu Haizhong, how dare you bully my son? Wait and see how I deal with him!"

The Jia family lives in the middle courtyard, and the Liu Haizhong family lives in the back yard. Originally, the two sides had nothing to do with each other, but today they came into conflict.

Jia Zhang had always been a tyrant in the middle courtyard. Apart from the time she suffered at the hands of Cheng Hao, no one in the courtyard had ever gotten any benefit from her. Upon hearing that her son had been bullied, she immediately turned around and walked towards the backyard with murderous intent.

"Mom, don't go. Liu Haizhong is not easy to deal with!"

Jia Dongxu stood up with a worried look on his face. He had personally experienced how much weight Liu Haizhong had, and knew that if they really started fighting, Jia Zhang would not be his opponent.

"Humph, if he dares to attack me, I will splatter his blood even if I die, and make him pay with a coffin!"

Jia Zhang didn't take it seriously. She strode away and soon disappeared around the corner.

"Mom, wait for me..."

Jia Dongxu couldn't let it go, so he chased after him despite the pain.

……

After returning home, Cheng Hao began to clean the room, clear the dust off the furniture, and then take the clothes and bedding to the yard to dry.

After finishing everything, Cheng Hao boiled a pot of hot water and had a simple lunch with the sesame seed cakes he packed back from outside.

Cheng Hao is the only one at home. If one person is full, the whole family will not be hungry. He is too lazy to cook for himself, so just making something to fill his stomach is enough.

After eating, Cheng Hao did not disturb He Yuzhu who was reuniting with his family, and wandered around the yard alone.

As he walked, Cheng Hao suddenly noticed that many neighbors were running towards the backyard in groups of two or three, as if something was attracting them.

Cheng Hao, who had nothing to do, followed the team to see what was going on in the courtyard.

Passing through the lattice door connecting the middle courtyard and the backyard, Cheng Hao saw from afar a crowd of people in front of Liu Haizhong's house. The neighbors formed a semicircle, staring intently at the circle, whispering to each other from time to time and making bursts of laughter.

Cheng Hao went forward and squeezed through the crowd, and saw the bruised and swollen Jia Zhang mother and son lying on the ground like toads. Liu Haizhong, who was standing next to them with his head held high and one hand on his waist, was pointing at the two of them and scolding them.

"Who told you to stop? You haven't finished the 100 push-ups yet, don't stop!"

Cheng Hao frowned, a similar picture flashed through his mind. Looking at the scene in front of him, he suddenly felt absurd and unhappy.

Does Liu Haizhong really think of himself as an instructor?

“No… didn’t we just finish a hundred?

How come there are still a hundred..."

Jia Zhang had no teeth and her cheeks were sunken. When she was hit by a punch, the flesh on her face swelled up again. Her facial expression was very strange, so it was no wonder that the neighbors laughed at her.

"Stop talking nonsense and keep doing it. If you dare to stop, I'll beat you up!"

Liu Haizhong is obviously not a reasonable person, especially when facing people weaker than himself, he prefers to use his power.

Just now in the Intermediate Court, if Cheng Hao hadn't stopped him, Liu Haizhong would have beaten the shit out of Jia Dongxu.

Who could have thought that Jia Dongxu not only did not avoid her, but instead came to the door together with Jia Zhangshi.

Seeing this situation, Liu Haizhong would not tolerate it and beat up both the mother and son.

Jia Zhang's proud throwing tantrums and rolling around had no effect on Liu Haizhong's fist, and Jia Dongxu got beaten as well.

After beating up the Jia and Zhang families, Liu Haizhong remembered that Jia Dongxu had previously punished him by making him do push-ups, and he immediately became interested and followed suit to punish them.

This try made Liu Haizhong experience an unprecedented pleasure.

While giving orders to Jia Zhang and her son, Liu Haizhong suddenly felt a sense of pleasure of holding great power, which made him obsessed and unable to stop at all.

"Liu Haizhong, what are you doing?!"

Cheng Hao stepped out of the crowd and questioned Liu Haizhong.

Cheng Hao spoke not to save Jia Dongxu, but because he didn't want Jia Dongxu to ruin the reputation of the group.

As a member of the 702nd Regiment, it would be bad enough that he couldn't beat a civilian, but he was ordered around like this. If this got back to the army, wouldn't it be a laughing stock?

"Captain Cheng, you are finally here.

You have to make the decision for us..."

After being beaten and subjected to intense exercise, Jia Dongxu felt that every bone in his body was wailing and could break at any time. He didn't care about his face and crawled directly to Cheng Hao to beg for help.

Cheng Hao's face was icy. He looked down at Jia Dongxu, whose head was swollen like a pig's. He curled his lips and said disdainfully, "Look at how ugly you are. Don't say you are a soldier of our regiment when you go out!"

Cheng Hao raised his leg and kicked Jia Dongxu hard. Jia Dongxu spun on the ground like a roller for several circles and fell to the ground with his back facing up.

"Get out of here!" Cheng Hao pointed at Jia Dongxu and shouted.

Jia Dongxu, who was dizzy and unconscious, staggered to his feet when he heard the order, and stumbled towards home.

The neighbors around hurriedly pushed it to the sides, as if they were avoiding the plague god.

"Cheng Hao, help... help...

Liu Haizhong wants to...torture us to death, you must not let him go..."

Jia Zhang, who was lying on the ground, hunched over and uttered a few unclear and intermittent words.

Cheng Hao completely ignored her meaning, just looked at Liu Haizhong who was standing there in a daze, and said lightly: "Liu Haizhong, a gentleman can be killed but not humiliated. You can hit Jia Dongxu, but you can't tease him like this.

If you dare to do this again, don't blame me for being rude."

At first, Cheng Hao did not accept Jia Dongxu to join the army because he was afraid that he would be a bad apple that would spoil the whole barrel.

Fortunately, Jia Dongxu did not fall to the seventh company, otherwise Cheng Hao would have been very depressed.

"Yes Yes……"

Liu Haizhong was intimidated by Cheng Hao's aura and dared not refute. He could only nod in response.

“Humph, Liu Haizhong, now you know how powerful I am.

My son is a soldier. If you dare to bully our family, don’t blame Cheng Hao for being rude to you.”

Jia Zhang, who was lying on the ground, raised her head and shouted, "If you don't pay the medical expenses in front of Cheng Hao today, you will suffer the consequences."

Jia Zhang is taking advantage of the power of others and wants to use Cheng Hao to suppress Liu Haizhong's arrogance.

However, Jia Zhang obviously underestimated Cheng Hao's disgust for her.

Without waiting for Liu Haizhong to open his mouth to refute, Cheng Hao pointed at Jia Zhang and said sternly: "This person is not from our group. Whatever you do has nothing to do with me. It's up to you."

After saying that, Cheng Hao turned around and left, leaving Jia Zhang standing there in shock.

"hehe……"

A sneer rang out from Liu Hai, who was allowed.

Cheng Hao jumped out to interrupt Liu Haizhong's good thing. He was very angry.

Now that Jia Dongxu is gone, only Jia Zhang is left.

Then naturally all this anger would be vented on her.

"Jia Zhang, do 200 push-ups, now!"

"Liu...Liu Haizhong, we are neighbors, you...just let me go."

Jia Zhang cried and cursed Cheng Hao eighteen times in her heart.

Damn Cheng Hao, why didn't he save her? And damn Liu Haizhong, is it possible for a human to do so many push-ups?

"Let you go? No way!

Do it, do it quickly, don’t stop, keep doing it!

If you can't finish it, I'll break your legs!"

Liu Haizhong became furious and turned back to the house, took out a stick and threatened viciously.
