Siheyuan: Revenge of the Stupid Pillar

"bastard!"

When everyone was applauding, Banggeng's word "bastard" seemed particularly abrupt.

Banggeng was so jealous when he saw that everyone was praising Zhao Tiechui that he couldn't help but curse.

He Yuzhu scolded him with a stern face: "Banggeng, you are too presumptuous. According to seniority, you should call Tiechui uncle. How can you call him a 'bastard'?"

Bang Geng said angrily, "Why should I call you uncle, a bastard of unknown origin?"

"Snapped!"

Upon hearing this, Li Guifang became furious and slapped Li Banggeng in the face.

Banggeng was stunned for a moment, then burst into tears.

Li Guifang's sudden outburst startled everyone. After all, this old lady usually looked like a kind and amiable person, and no one had ever seen her show such a violent side.

Women are weak by nature, but they become strong when they become mothers. It seems that this old man really likes Tiechui and treats him as his own son.

When Jia Zhang saw her grandson being beaten, she flew into a rage and yelled:

"Li Guifang, you old whore, why did you hit my grandson?"

Li Guifang said with disdain: "I beat him, so what can you do to me?"

"Li Guifang, you bitch, I'm going to tear you apart."

Jia Zhang was angered by Li Guifang's arrogant attitude and instantly turned into an angry bull, rushing towards Li Guifang at a speed of 180 miles per second.

However, before Jia Zhang could take a few steps, she was grabbed by the quick-eyed and quick-handed Qin Huairu.

Jia Zhang turned around and glared at Qin Huairu, "Qin Huairu, why did you pull me? Didn't you see your son being beaten by the old whore?"

Qin Huairu heard this and said coldly: "If you still want to go to jail, go ahead and fight!"

Jia Zhang's body trembled slightly, and then she calmed down immediately.

Qin Huairu was helpless and had to turn to Yi Zhonghai for help.

As a mother, she was naturally angry when her son was beaten, but she did not want to have a head-on conflict with Li Guifang, so she could only hope that Yi Zhonghai would seek justice for him.

Yi Zhonghai received Qin Huairu's pleading gaze and reprimanded her with a stern face:

"Guifang, how could you hit someone, and the one you hit was a child."

Li Guifang stared at Yi Zhonghai with an indifferent expression and said in a voice as cold as ice:

"Yi Zhonghai, are you deaf? Didn't you hear that little bastard scolding our son?"

Yi Zhonghai met Li Guifang's cold eyes, and his momentum instantly weakened. He sighed:

"Even so, you can't hit anyone. Can't you talk it out calmly?"

Li Guifang said sarcastically, "I hit him, do you, Yi Zhonghai, still want to fight back for your good disciple?"

"Yi Zhonghai, don't forget, whose man are you now?"

Liu Haizhong said with a smile: "Old Yi, this is what you did wrong. It is said that family members should help each other. Why are you doing the opposite and helping outsiders to deal with your own family? You are not distinguishing between relatives and strangers."

Xu Damao said sarcastically, "Uncle Liu, Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu have a close relationship as master and disciple, which has long surpassed the scope of relatives. Perhaps in his heart, Aunt Li is an outsider."

"Oh!"

When everyone heard this, they all showed an expression of sudden enlightenment, and then cast a playful look at Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai gnashed his teeth and said, "Xu Damao, please stop trying to sow discord between us. I am a righteous man and I will not help anyone who is not right."

Xu Damao sneered, "Yi Zhonghai, stop talking nonsense here. You are not fools. We have all seen this from beginning to end. We all know who is right and who is wrong."

Liu Haizhong joked, "Old Yi! Damao is right. It was obviously Banggeng who was the one who scolded Tiechui first. Your wife slapped him, which was understandable. How come you said that Banggeng was right?"

"Old Yi, you are confused about right and wrong. No wonder your wife is angry. Aren't you just turning your elbow outward and teaming up with outsiders to bully your own family?"

Yi Zhonghai was suddenly speechless and said incoherently: "I...I didn't say that it's reasonable to insult people. What I meant is that we are all neighbors and we should tolerate each other and not be unreasonable."

He Yuzhu pretended to be puzzled and said, "Yi Zhonghai, your words are all mixed up and confused. You are helping the right and not the relatives, and you are not forgiving the right. Who do you think is at fault in this matter?"

Yi Zhonghai wanted to say that both sides were wrong, but when he met Li Guifang's chilling gaze, he swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

Seeing Yi Zhonghai remained silent, Xu Damao said sarcastically, "Yi Zhonghai, you were talking a lot just now. Aren't you quite talkative? Now I ask you to express your opinion, but why don't you say anything?"

"Whatever you say, as the family member of the person involved, I should avoid suspicion, don't you know?"

Yi Zhonghai pretended to be angry and said this, then left without looking back.

Xu Damao sneered, "Why are you pretending to be such a big shot? If you knew you had to avoid suspicion, why were you still talking so much just now?"

"Aunt Li, it doesn't matter if you want a man like this who is disloyal to you or not. Just divorce him."

Li Guifang's expression changed several times, but in the end she said nothing.

Although she was very angry about Yi Zhonghai's behavior, it was not serious enough to warrant divorce. After all, she and Yi Zhonghai had been married for twenty or thirty years, and she still relied on Yi Zhonghai to make money for her.

Qin Huairu saw Yi Zhonghai leaving, looked at He Yuzhu angrily and asked:

“He Yuzhu, you were the boss in the courtyard last night, don’t you care?”

Jia Zhang said angrily, "Yes! Li Guifang beat my son, she must pay compensation."

He Yuzhu raised his lips slightly: "As the saying goes, it's hard for an honest judge to judge family affairs. I won't get involved in your family affairs."

Qin Huairu said angrily: "This is clearly a neighborhood conflict, how did it become a family matter?"

He Yuzhu smiled faintly and said, "Xu Damao has already said that you and Yi Zhonghai are not relatives but are better than relatives. How do you want me to manage you?"

Qin Huairu said angrily: "You know that Xu Damao is talking nonsense, but you pretend not to know. You are shirking responsibility."

"It is your responsibility as a great uncle to mediate conflicts between neighbors. If you dare to ignore it, I will go to the street office to sue you!"

He Yuzhu remained calm and said, "Go ahead and sue if you want. Your son is justified in swearing at others. If it were me, I would also give him a big beating."

"Qin Huairu, just save your breath! Do you think this is still the era of the three masters?"

"With Yi Zhonghai and your family backing you up, will anyone give in to your family?"

"I am fair and impartial. Right is right and wrong is wrong. I will not play the game of compromise or take sides like Yi Zhonghai..."

Qin Huairu was speechless and could only shed tears silently, acting as if she had suffered a great injustice.

Li Guifang looked at the crying Qin Huairu, a trace of disdain flashed in her eyes, she coughed lightly and said loudly:

"In front of everyone, I solemnly warn everyone that if anyone dares to beat, scold or humiliate my son in the future, I, Li Guifang, will fight him to the death!"
