Siheyuan: Starting from Building a Village

Liu Guozheng brought the two little girls, Xiaoxiao and Lele, to Sijiu City again.

Sunday is usually a day off, but today is special—it’s the end of April, and tomorrow is May Day.

In this era, there is only one day off for Labor Day. If you count Tuesday and Wednesday, Huang Qiuxia and Zheng Jiandong can enjoy three days of rest.

Liu Guozheng came here mainly to do two things today. One was to visit the children in the welfare home and bring them some food and clothes; the other was to come to the office to distribute holiday benefits to everyone.

This is the traditional custom of the office and the food factory, and it can even be said to be a rigid rule that has been in place since the office and the food factory were first established.

In order to show respect, most of the time, Liu Guozheng personally distributes the benefits to office staff.

This time, Xiao Lele also brought some small gifts, which He Yushui specially asked her to bring to Sha Zhu. Two bottles of wine, one bottle of rice wine and one bottle of white wine, five pounds of braised beef, and a box of the more popular ham sausage.

These are all He Yushui's holiday benefits. After all, Sha Zhu raised her up, and this kindness cannot be erased by anyone. Although the adults no longer have contact with each other, letting the children convey this love is also a different kind of warmth.

"Big brother, hurry up, I want to go see my uncle!"

Children's minds are so simple and straightforward, unlike adults who have so many concerns.

To them, relatives are relatives, especially new relatives, and they are full of curiosity and desire to get close to them.

Lele skipped and walked in front, while Lou Xiaoe followed carefully behind, always paying attention to the little guy's movements.

The heavy burden of carrying things naturally fell on Liu Guozheng's shoulders, but Xiaoxiao followed Liu Guozheng. She said she wanted to help her father, but she couldn't lift the things, so she had to accompany her father and walk at the end.

The four of them walked all the way to the middle courtyard, and before they even entered, they heard a fierce quarrel inside.

"Wife, you have to keep a close eye on Xiaoxiao and Lele. Don't let anyone bump into them."

As Liu Guozheng spoke, he changed the things in his hands and followed Lou Xiaoe slowly.

After entering the middle courtyard, as expected, there were a lot of people watching the fun.

"Qin Huairu, where is my child?" Cui Dake's eyes were as big as copper bells, his body was shaking like a sieve, and a strong smell of alcohol came out of his nose when he spoke.

The central courtyard was packed with people watching the fun. It was finally a Sunday and everyone wanted to have some fun. Such a lively scene was not common, and everyone at home rushed to the central courtyard.

"Cui Dake, have you drunk too much? Where did your child come from?" Qin Huairu, who was surrounded by everyone, turned pale. She had already expected that Yi Zhonghai might instigate her, but she didn't expect it to come true.

"I was drunk? My uncle Yi told me this himself, how could it be false?" Cui Dake gave Yi Zhonghai away without hesitation. In his eyes, Yi Zhonghai was his own man and would definitely support him.

Hearing Cui Dake's words, Yi Zhonghai, who was sitting under the window in the house, became so angry that his face turned red. He grabbed the bottle of wine and poured some of the remaining half bottle of wine on himself. Then he pretended to be drunk and lay on the table, but his ears were perked up, for fear of missing any movement outside.

"Cui Dake, you are the only one who believes his lies. Ask the young and old men in this courtyard, who would believe what the old man said?" Qin Huairu knew clearly that it was Yi Zhonghai who was behind the plot, so she was naturally not so polite.

"My Uncle Yi is a man of high moral character and what he says must be right." Cui Dake still has no doubt about it.

"Cui Dake, I did give birth to a child back then, but it wasn't yours." Qin Huairu knew that she could no longer hide the matter of the child. Although five years had passed, the people in the hospital must still remember the matter of the child.

"Qin Huairu, if you say it's not, then it's not?" Cui Dake seemed a little unwilling.

"If I say it's not him, then it's not him. The child is my flesh and blood, how could I not know whose it is?" Qin Huairu was determined not to admit that the child was Cui Dake's. Anyway, the child had died long ago, so there was no way to identify it even if there was a way to identify it.

"Qin Huairu, you're such a bitch!" Cui Dake, under the influence of alcohol, raised his hand to hit someone, but was stopped by Sha Zhu.

"Idiot, what do you have to do here?" Cui Dake struggled twice but failed to break free.

"I, Sha Zhu, will step on what is unfair when I see it. I can't stand you bullying women!" Sha Zhu said loudly with his neck stiff.

Although this is consistent with Sha Zhu's violent temper, it also triggered various speculations from the onlookers: Could it be that Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu have rekindled their old love? Everyone saw and heard the scene of their breakup, and it was unexpected that Sha Zhu would still stand up for Qin Huairu today.

It really proves the saying that a dog will always eat shit!

"Fool, you have nothing to do here. I know you have your eyes on that slut Qin Huairu. You want to pick up the old shoes I left behind? I really look down on you." Cui Dake, who was drunk, spoke without restraint, blurting out everything that was on his mind. However, he forgot that Sha Zhu was famous for his violent temper and would start fighting if he disagreed with someone.

"Cui Dake, Qin Huairu and I are innocent. I just can't stand you bullying women! Today, Master Zhu is going to teach you a lesson."

As soon as he finished speaking, Sha Zhu took action and punched Cui Dake in the chest, almost knocking out the wine in his stomach.

Seeing Sha Zhu taking action, the crowd immediately dispersed to make room for them so that they could have a good "competition".

Cui Dake was no match for Sha Zhu. Not to mention that he drank a little too much today, even if he didn't drink, he would only get beaten up if he went against Sha Zhu.

After being punched and kicked several times, he didn't even touch the corner of Sha Zhu's clothes. The pain in his body made Cui Dake's mind clearer, and of course he would not stand there stupidly and get beaten.

Sha Zhu chased him, and Cui Dake just ran and went straight into the crowd.

The onlookers were not stupid. When they saw Cui Dake running towards them, they quickly scattered and hid.

"uncle!"

The crowd dispersed, and Lele, who had just entered the yard, saw Shazhu at a glance and ran towards him quickly with his short legs.

Cui Dake was so busy running away that he didn't even notice what was beneath his feet. Suddenly, a little girl rushed in and was about to knock Lele down, causing everyone to exclaim in surprise.

"Cui Dake, you dare!"

Sha Zhu's eyes turned red. If Lele was injured by Cui Dake, he would never be able to get over it for the rest of his life.

"Le Le!" Liu Guozheng was still behind. Seeing the urgent situation, Lou Xiao'e picked up Le Le, held her in her arms, and subconsciously kicked her again.

Fortunately, Xiaoxiao followed Liu Guozheng after entering the yard, otherwise Lou Xiaoe might not have been able to save the two people in time.

Who would have thought that Lou Xiao'e's kick was so powerful that under the astonished gaze of everyone, Cui Dake was kicked directly away.

Sha Zhu wanted to dodge but was caught off guard and was hit head-on by Cui Dake.

It was because of Sha Zhu acting as a cushion that Cui Dake didn't fall too badly.

Lou Xiao'e herself was stunned. She knew that she had good physical fitness, but she didn't expect that she was so strong that she could kick a man weighing more than 100 pounds away with one kick.

"Big brother, you are so awesome!"

The little girl had no idea how dangerous the situation was and she clapped her hands excitedly.

"Cui Dake, I'm going to beat you to death today!"

After recovering from his shock, Sha Zhu flipped over and sat on Cui Dake, pinning him down and beating him up.

"Zhuzi, stop hitting him. If you continue, it will be a big trouble if something happens." Seeing that Sha Zhu had lost his mind due to anger, Qin Huairu hurried forward to dissuade him.

Others might just watch the fun, but Qin Huairu couldn't just sit back and watch. After all, this was caused by her. If she didn't come forward, who would be willing to help her in the future?

After Qin Huairu's shout, the onlookers came to their senses. Erlu and a few others hurried forward and grabbed Sha Zhu.

They also knew that if someone died in this yard again, their reputation would be completely ruined.

Sha Zhu, who was pulled up, kicked Cui Dake several times viciously as he stood up, as if he wanted to vent all his anger.
