Siheyuan: Revenge of the Stupid Pillar

Xu Huizhen listened to everyone's discussion, her pupils trembled and her face was full of disbelief.

Xu Huizhen couldn't believe her ears. When something happened to their old neighbors who had lived in the same compound for decades, they were not sad or regretful. Instead, they hoped that the father and son would both die so that they could have a good feast.

What kind of people are these?

He was dumbfounded by how evil human nature could be to such an extent.

Xu Huizhen suddenly felt a chill running from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, making him shiver.

Xu Huizhen ran back home and shouted, "Husband, we can't stay in this courtyard anymore. Let's pack up and go live with me."

"Why?" He Yuzhu looked puzzled.

Xu Huizhen said angrily: "Husband, you don't know what they talked about after you left?"

He Yuzhu smiled suddenly: "Although I didn't hear it with my own ears, I can guess it."

Xu Huizhen hesitated and said, "Can you guess it?"

He Yuzhu said with a hint of disdain: "I have lived in the same compound with them for nearly thirty years, and I know their personalities very well."

"Are they blaming me for meddling in other people's business, hoping that Liu Guangfu will chop Liu Haizhong to death so they can enjoy a feast?"

Xu Huizhen blurted out: "How do you know?"

He Yuzhu chuckled and said, "Didn't I say that? I have lived in the same compound with them for nearly thirty years. I know exactly what kind of people they are."

Xu Huizhen said angrily: "These people are so evil. They have no neighborly feelings and no compassion. They are all a bunch of cold-blooded animals."

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Didn't I tell you that there is not a single good person in this courtyard?"

"You are not a good person anyway."

"I am pure and untainted by the mud."

"Stop talking nonsense, pack up your things and move to where I want to live. I don't want to stay in this courtyard for a moment. This group of people is too evil. It's terrifying to think about it."

"With me here, you have nothing to fear. I can suppress these evil spirits with one hand."

"But I still don't want to live in this courtyard. When I think of their ugly faces, I feel sick."

"Baby, hold on for a while. I'll finish my work in the hospital and then move to your place."

"OK then!"

"It's getting late, let's go to bed!"

"Honey, not tonight. I'm having my period."

"You don't have any ulcers in your mouth?"

"no!"

"Your hand isn't hurt!"

"No!"

"That's okay!"

"What's wrong? Why are you asking me about my mouth and hands?"

He Yuzhu had a wicked smile on his face and whispered a few words into Xu Huizhen's ear.

Xu Huizhen's pretty face instantly turned red, and she said angrily, "Don't even think about it, it's dirty stuff."

"Baby, don't be so conservative. We should dare to try."

"Try it, you big head ghost, if I say no, then it's no..."

He Yuzhu wanted to persuade him again, but there was noise in the yard again.

Xu Huizhen sighed and said, "Zhu Zi, go out and take a look! Something must have happened again."

He Yuzhu teased, "Don't you really like to watch the show? Why do you sound a little annoyed?"

Xu Huizhen rolled her eyes and said, "Eating melon every now and then can be used as a spice of life, but if you make a fuss every other day, no one will be able to stand it."

He Yuzhu smiled, opened the door, and saw Fu Xinhan and two police officers coming to the courtyard.

He Yuzhu frowned slightly and immediately guessed that someone had called the police.

He Yuzhu restrained his expression and said with a smile: "Director Fu, I didn't expect to alarm you."

Fu Xinhan said in a deep voice: "Director He, your hospital is really in turmoil. Something happens today or tomorrow. The problems that occurred before were not too serious, but a murder case actually occurred tonight. Do you think I can not come?"

He Yuzhu was shocked and said, "Murder case? Is Liu Haizhong dead?"

Upon hearing this, Fu Xinhan realized that he had said the wrong thing. The definition of a homicide is an incident of murder. Liu Haizhong was only stabbed and did not die, so it could only be considered a knife-wounding incident.

"My statement was not precise enough. Liu Haizhong is not dead. But I heard that if Liu Guangfu had not stopped him, he would have killed Liu Haizhong."

He Yuzhu let out a long sigh, "You scared me, I thought Liu Haizhong was dead?"

Fu Xinhan said seriously, "Comrade He Yuzhu, stabbing someone is a criminal case. Why did I hear that you didn't ask everyone to call the police?"

He Yuzhu's heart skipped a beat, but his face showed a look of compassion and he sighed:

"Ah! I also feel sorry for what happened to Liu Guangfu. It can be said that he was beaten by Liu Haizhong when he was growing up. I feel sad when I see the scars on his body."

"Besides, he is still a minor. If he really goes to jail, his life will be over."

Fu Xinhan said sternly, "Director He, this kind of thinking is not acceptable. Every country has its own laws. Since Liu Guangfu has committed a crime, he should be punished by law. You can't just let him off the hook because of his pitiful life experience."

He Yuzhu hurriedly apologized, "Director Fu, you taught me that I did not handle this matter properly. I will reflect on myself deeply."

Xu Huizhen said indignantly: "Director Fu, you can't listen to other people's nonsense. My husband didn't stop everyone from calling the police. He just asked Liu Haizhong to go to the hospital first. Let Liu Haizhong decide whether to call the police or not."

"I don't think there's anything wrong with this. After all, this is someone else's family matter. It's the victim's decision whether to call the police or not. Outsiders like us shouldn't interfere too much."

"Besides, my man risked his own life to take the kitchen knife from Liu Guangfu's hand, thus saving Liu Haizhong's life."

"My man should be considered as acting bravely, but how come he is blamed when he is spoken of?"

Yi Zhonghai said loudly: "He's wife, what you said is wrong. Everyone has the obligation to report criminal acts to the public security organs."

Xu Huizhen angrily said, "Yi Zhonghai, stop trying to scare me here. Which law stipulates that citizens must report criminal acts to the public security organs?"

"Yi Zhonghai, I can't stand hypocrites like you. When Liu Guangfu cut Liu Haizhong, you hid farther than anyone else. After the incident, you jumped more happily than anyone else..."

Yi Zhonghai was so angry that he asked, "Xu Huizhen, how do you talk to your elders? Do you have any manners at all?"

Xu Huizhen sneered, "Yi Zhonghai, don't you think it's ridiculous to say this? Your last name is Yi, and mine is Xu. We are not related at all. How can you be considered my elder?"

"Also, you, Yi Zhonghai, are selfish and hypocritical. You are a eunuch, but you put the blame on your wife for your infertility. I have never seen someone as shameless as you. How can you be so rude as to treat me as your elder?"

"If my Xu family had an elder as morally corrupt as you, I'm sure our ancestors would be so angry that they would pretend to be dead..."
