Siheyuan: Revenge of the Stupid Pillar

When He Yuzhu got home from get off work, he saw the deaf old lady sitting in the living room with lifeless eyes, looking distraught.

He Yuzhu immediately guessed that Yang Xinmin must have come to see her and told her that it was impossible for the newspaper to apologize to her in the newspaper and even scolded her, otherwise she would not look so desperate.

He Yuzhu asked knowingly, "Old lady, what's wrong with you? Why do you look like that? Did someone bully you?"

The deaf old lady then noticed He Yuzhu, and then she smiled a smile uglier than crying, and sighed:

"Zhu Zi, Yang Xinmin came to the hospital to see me this afternoon."

He Yuzhu pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Director Yang came to see you? Did he complete the task you asked him to do?"

The deaf old lady shook her head and smiled bitterly, "No, Yang Xinmin knows everything about me. He came here to scold me, saying that I shouldn't have lied to him and caused him to be criticized by his old leader."

"They also said that I had a problem with my thinking and attitude. It was obvious that I had done something wrong, but not only did I not actively admit my mistake, I also wanted to turn the tables and confuse the public, and confuse right and wrong."

Hearing this, He Yuzhu smiled slightly and asked calmly:

"Madam, how did Director Yang know this?"

The deaf old lady gnashed her teeth and said, "There are so many gossipers in this hospital. We can find out with a little investigation."

"I was so anxious at the time, how could I think this matter could be concealed from the world?"

"This is great. Not only did I fail to conceal the truth, but Yang Xinmin's impression of me has also been greatly reduced. I really lost more than I gained!"

He Yuzhu comforted her, "Old lady, now that things have come to this, there is no point in regretting it. Just live a good life in the future!"

The deaf old lady was moved and said: "Zhu Zi, I'm lucky to have you, otherwise I don't know how I would live."

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Old lady, why are you being so polite to me? These are what I should do."

"Ma'am, it's getting late. I'm going to cook first."

"Zhu Zi, do less. I'm not very hungry today."

"Okay!"

After dinner, He Yuzhu pushed his bicycle and prepared to go to night school.

As soon as I walked out of the hospital, I saw Liu Guangtian squatting in the corner, crying softly.

He Yuzhu asked curiously: "Guangtian, what's wrong with you?"

Liu Guangtian looked up and saw that it was He Yuzhu. He immediately wiped away his tears and said with hope in his eyes:

"Brother Zhuzi, everyone says you have real kung fu and can fight ten people alone. I want to learn kung fu from you. Please accept me as your apprentice!"

He Yuzhu shook his head and denied it: "Don't listen to their nonsense. I don't have any real kung fu. I'm just born with great strength, so I'm good at fighting."

"Also, I heard that you have to start learning Kung Fu from a young age. You are almost an adult, and your bones have already been formed. It will be difficult for you to achieve anything in martial arts."

Liu Guangtian blurted out: "Brother Zhuzi, I don't need to be very successful in martial arts, as long as I can beat my father."

He Yuzhu grinned and chuckled, "So you want to learn Kung Fu, do you want to beat up your dad?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Guangtian said with a look of resentment: "I learned Kung Fu not to beat him, but to protect myself."

"In his mind, Liu Guangqi is his son. My brother and I are no different from animals in his eyes. If there are good things at home, he will only give them to the eldest brother. If we even look at him for a second, we will be beaten."

"He beats me when he's angry, when he's happy, and when he's calm. He beats me nine times in three days. If he keeps doing this, sooner or later he'll beat me to death. That's why I want to learn Kung Fu to protect myself."

After listening to Liu Guangtian's words, He Yuzhu suddenly remembered what the deaf old lady had said.

"If parents are not kind, their children will not be filial."

If parents do not care about or love their children and even abuse them, their children will not be filial to them.

This sentence just happens to be true for the Liu family father and son.

Liu Haizhong abused Liu Guangtian and his brothers since they were young and never gave them the fatherly love they deserved. When Liu Haizhong was old and sick and hospitalized, no son was willing to take care of him.

You reap what you sow. Liu Haizhong had a miserable old age. He can't blame anyone else but himself.

He Yuzhu will no longer be as foolish as he was in his previous life and provide for these old guys in their old age.

He could predict now that without his stupid behavior in his previous life, the later years of these old guys would be even more miserable.

Of course, no matter how miserable their old age was, he would not feel the slightest sympathy.

The more miserable they are, the happier he is, because he came to this life for revenge.

He Yuzhu said sincerely: "Guangtian, it's not that I don't want to help you, but I really don't know kung fu."

"Alas, will I never be able to escape the clutches of my bangs for the rest of my life?"

Liu Guangtian's eyes were dull and his expression was lonely, as if he was disheartened.

He Yuzhu raised his eyebrows and said, "How could that be? You're almost an adult, and you're almost as tall as your father."

"And your father is getting older and older. In a few years, even if you don't have kung fu, you will be able to beat your father."

"Now I'm worried that even if you can beat your father, you won't dare to fight him, because I've discovered that your fear of your father is deep in your bones. When your father glares at you, you tremble all over."

"If you want to escape from your father's clutches, you must first overcome your fear of him. Otherwise, even if you have great kung fu skills, it will be useless."

Liu Guangtian heard this and said excitedly:

"Brother Zhuzi, you are so right. I have wanted to chop my father with a knife countless times, but when I looked into his eyes, I trembled all over, and the courage I had finally mustered was instantly lost."

He Yuzhu was horrified and asked, "What? You actually want to kill your father? That would get you shot. How could you have such a dangerous idea?"

Liu Guangtian said indifferently: "Isn't it just a matter of getting shot? I'm not afraid at all. I don't want to live anyway."

"It's better to die early and be reborn early. Maybe in the next life, I can be reborn into a happy family, with a loving father and a loving mother, and live a happy life."

He Yuzhu hurriedly advised: "Guangtian, please don't be impulsive. You have suffered so much for so many years, and you will soon be able to enjoy happiness. Don't do anything stupid!"

Liu Guangtian said with a dejected look on his face: "Brother Zhuzi, please don't comfort me. I don't even have the courage to resist my father. I will only live in my father's shadow for the rest of my life. I will never have a happy life."

"Guangtian, don't be so pessimistic. Any fear can be overcome."

"Brother Zhuzi, how should I overcome my fear of my father?"

He Yuzhu thought for a long time before saying, "I have an idea, but I don't know if it will work for you."

Liu Guangtian asked impatiently: "What method?"

He Yuzhu said quietly, "Go to the slaughterhouse and watch the butchers slaughtering pigs and cows. This way you will gradually become indifferent to life, and maybe you can overcome your fear of your father."

"But you must remember, I asked you to watch the butchers slaughter pigs and cows so that you can overcome your fear. You can't regard those pigs and cows to be slaughtered as your fathers."
