Siheyuan: Revenge of the Stupid Pillar

Chen Xueru listened to the argument between He Yuzhu and Xu Huizhen, and felt very sad. She pretended to be calm and said:

"You guys chat slowly, I'll go first."

After saying this, Chen Xueru quickened her pace and soon left He Yuzhu and his wife behind.

He Yuzhu looked suspicious and asked, "What's wrong with this woman?"

Xu Huizhen smiled and said, "You heard that I was pregnant, so you got jealous!"

"Haven't you told her about your pregnancy yet?"

"I was about to say that, but you beat me to it!"

"That's not right! You're pregnant, why should she be jealous?"

"You know that Chen Xueru always competes with me in everything. Before I got pregnant, she and I both wanted a daughter, so we were tied. Now that I'm pregnant again, I've surpassed her in terms of having children, so naturally she's unhappy."

"I'm impressed by you guys. You even want to compete in something as boring as giving birth. Can you be any more boring?"

"This is a matter between us women, don't interfere."

"I don't care."

……

One evening a week later, after having dinner at home, He Yuzhu rode his bike to the pub to pick up Xu Huizhen for night school.

When He Yuzhu was riding his bike through an alley, five masked men suddenly jumped out from the end of the alley and blocked his way.

When He Yuzhu saw that the five masked men were all holding wooden sticks, he immediately realized that they were not friendly.

A solemn look flashed across He Yuzhu's face. He immediately squeezed the brakes, got off the bicycle, and said deliberately in a weak tone:

"Gentlemen, I only have five dollars on me, I'll give it all to you!"

"What are you talking about, you little punk? We're not here to rob."

"Then why are you all stopping me? I have no grudge against you in the past or in the present..."

"You have no grudge against us, but you have offended someone you shouldn't have offended. We are taking money from people to help them get rid of their misfortune."

"Who asked you to take revenge on me? Just tell me and I can give you double the money..."

"Shut up. Bandits have their own code of conduct, and the industry has its own rules. We will not betray our employer."

"You committed the crime just for money, why bother with money?"

"Boy, you are quite good at speaking in plain language, but it's a pity that you met people like us who value loyalty."

"Brothers, don't argue with him, just do it together."

After he finished speaking, five masked men rushed towards He Yuzhu with wooden sticks.

"Hold!"

He Yuzhu cursed inwardly and instantly went into a defensive state, not daring to be careless at all.

Although he has martial arts skills, there are five people on the other side, and the most important thing is that each of them has a weapon in his hand, so he dare not be careless.

The five people rushed over at different speeds. He Yuzhu raised his bicycle and smashed it towards the person in front.

This guy didn't expect He Yuzhu to use this trick. He was caught off guard and was immediately hit so hard that he felt dizzy and his nose was bleeding.

"Fuck it, guys, beat this bastard to death."

When the other four saw their brother was injured, they became ferocious and rushed towards He Yuzhu shouting.

He Yuzhu was quick-witted and quick-handed. He snatched the wooden stick from someone and hit him on the head.

"what!"

The man screamed, covered his head, and squatted on the ground.

Two fists are no match for four hands. In just a short moment, He Yuzhu was hit by two sticks, and he grimaced in pain.

"My darn thing!"

He Yuzhu's face was full of murderous intent and ferocious expression. He showed no mercy and wielded the wooden stick in his hand with great force, beating several people so hard that they fled in panic.

He Yuzhu felt unsatisfied, so he threw away the stick in his hand and rushed forward with his bare hands, like a tiger rushing down the mountain. Wherever he passed, there were sounds of broken bones...

After a moment, the five masked gangsters lost their fighting ability and lay on the ground groaning in pain.

"Brother, stop fighting, we admit defeat!"

"Who is your brother? Tell me the truth. Who asked you to attack me?"

"We just followed orders and didn't know who our employer was."

"The fate you heard about?"

"I can't say that."

"You're not going to tell me, right? I'll beat you to death!"

He Yuzhu was furious. He picked up a wooden stick on the ground and hit the five guys with it.

At this time, a man walked in from the alley and shouted, "What are you doing?"

He Yuzhu panted and said, "Comrade, please help me call the police. I've been robbed."

Hearing this, the passerby said anxiously, "What? Highway robbery? Wait, I'll call the police right away."

The passerby's shout immediately attracted the people around. When they saw that He Yuzhu had bruises on his face and several people were lying on the ground screaming, they all took a few steps back involuntarily.

Everyone stepped back, but one person stepped forward and said with concern:

"Zhu Zi, are you okay?"

He Yuzhu grinned and chuckled: "Uncle Niu, I'm fine, I just got hit a few times."

"Master Niu, do you know this ruthless man who fought five people alone?"

"Yes, she is the husband of Xu Huizhen, the owner of the tavern."

"Isn't it said that Xu Huizhen's husband is a cook? How come he also knows kung fu?"

"Who says a cook can't know Kung Fu?"

A moment later, the police arrived.

When the police saw the situation at the scene, their faces changed slightly and they said sternly:

"Cuff them all and take them back to the station."

He Yuzhu said dissatisfiedly: "Comrade Public Security, I am the victim. The five of them were robbers who blocked the road. I was the one who called the police..."

The passerby who called the police said: "Comrade Public Security, it was indeed this comrade who asked me to call the police."

Niu Ye also echoed, "Director Huang, this comrade is called He Yuzhu, he is the canteen director of the steel mill, he is not a bad person."

This place belongs to Qianmen Street, so the police who came are from Qianmen Street Police Station.

Director Huang looked at the five masked men on the ground and said solemnly:

"Comrade He Yuzhu, did you knock down the five people on the ground?"

He Yuzhu nodded, and then said: "Comrade Public Security, can we take the statement later? Please send me to the hospital first. My right arm hurts a lot, it should be broken."

"Captain, the five people on the ground are seriously injured. Let's call an ambulance first!"

Huang Zaizu nodded slightly upon hearing this, and said seriously:

"You go call an ambulance, and the rest of you cuff the five people on the ground."

After Director Huang finished speaking, he came to He Yuzhu again and said apologetically:

"Comrade He Yuzhu, I have to handcuff you until the matter is fully investigated. I hope you can understand."

He Yuzhu said helplessly: "Okay, you can handcuff me!"

Upon hearing this, Director Huang nodded slightly and handcuffed He Yuzhu himself.

He Yuzhu turned to Niu Ye and said, "Niu Ye, please tell Huizhen about my situation and help me push my bike back to the tavern."

Niu Ye said seriously: "Zhu Zi, don't worry, I will tell Hui Zhen and won't let her worry."

Chief Huang said, "The bicycle is evidence at the scene and cannot be taken away for the time being. We have to take it back to the police station. Once the matter is investigated, the bicycle will be returned to you."

Hearing this, He Yuzhu could only nod helplessly.
