Siheyuan (traditional courtyard house): 52 years of farming, producing hundreds of millions of tons

"Sigh..." Wan Ping'an sighed and began to play the victim, saying that his second uncle, Liu Haizhong, had broken into his room and stolen his wine and money.

After hearing this, Grandpa Zhao frowned: "Ping An, what you said is not right. Hai Zhong doesn't seem like that kind of person."

Wan Ping'an pouted: "Uncle Zhao, you don't understand him. I'm with him every day now, doing things in the yard. Don't I understand him?"

Grandpa Zhao sighed: "You, you're still too impulsive and too trusting of others."

Wan Ping'an sighed, "That second aunt also sided with the second uncle, Liu Haizhong. The two of them conspired to trick me. How can I accept this?"

"You, you..." Grandpa Zhao shook his head, not knowing what to say.

"I think you should also advise Liu Haizhong. If this matter gets out of hand, it will have a bad impact on both of you."

"Sigh..." Grandpa Zhao pondered for a moment, "Alright, I'll give it a try. Ping An, let's just let this matter go."

"No way, I told him to pay me back, but these two aunties only want to pay me five yuan. Do you think my wine didn't even cost five yuan?"

"This……"

“I know you’re kind-hearted and afraid of hurting feelings, but you have to think about me. I spend so much money on the hospital every year, and this is how it ends up. How can you expect me to feel good about this?” Wan Ping’an said earnestly. “Uncle Zhao, I know your intentions, but I really can’t swallow this insult. I hate theft more than anything else in my life!”

After saying that, Wan Ping'an left quickly without waiting for Grandpa Zhao to say anything.

Watching Wan Ping'an's departing figure, Grandpa Zhao muttered softly, "Sigh, that kid is too stubborn..."

As Wan Ping'an stepped out of the courtyard, he saw Yan Fugui strolling around the street.

"Uncle, what happened? Who did you argue with?" Yan Fugui asked with concern.

Wan Ping'an took a few deep breaths to compose himself, then forced a smile and shook his head, saying, "It's nothing, I just had a little disagreement with my second uncle."

"So what's the situation now? Have they reconciled?"

"How could that be? That second uncle stole my family's wine and money, and he refuses to give it back to me. I'm planning to go home now and go find Liu Haizhong again. He's still the second uncle, yet he did this. Third uncle, don't you think?"

·· Requesting flowers ·

Yan Fugui patted his chest: "Ping An, I'll go with you."

"Hehe, no need, let's not involve you in this." Wan Ping'an waved his hand in refusal, then turned and walked towards his home.

Wan Ping'an pushed open the courtyard gate, glanced into the house, and saw no one. So he decided to go to the convenience store to buy a drink before coming back.

Wan Ping'an went outside, took a wine jar from his house, and went to find Liu Haizhong, demanding that Liu Haizhong either pay compensation or report him to the police.

Wan Ping'an walked to Liu Haizhong's door, kicked the door open, and glared angrily at Liu Haizhong sitting on the bed.

When Liu Haizhong saw that it was Wan Ping'an who had come to cause trouble, he was startled and quickly stood up, saying nervously, "Wan Ping'an, why are you here again? What, what are you doing?"

Wan Ping'an pointed to a tin bottle of liquor he was holding and questioned, "Is this the jar of liquor you took from my house?"

Liu Haizhong nodded: "Yes, yes."

"You still dare to admit it?" Wan Ping'an threw the tin bottle on the ground and roared.

Chapter 313 Forty Yuan

Liu Haizhong quickly picked up the wine, put it on the table, and said with a fawning smile, "Wan Ping'an, let's talk this out. You're too impatient."

"Hmph, I have a short temper? If I really had a short temper, I would have called the police to arrest you already!"

"Stop talking nonsense, do you have any evidence?"

"Of course I have evidence!"

"Oh?"

"You took all the money from my house, including the '170' banknotes and the alcohol. How can there be no evidence?"

Liu Haizhong immediately denied it, saying, "I have never taken your money, much less stolen your wine. You must be framing me."

"Frame you? Haha!" Wan Ping'an sneered, "Liu Haizhong, I think your skin is thicker than a city wall! You clearly did it, and now you're turning around and accusing me! You're utterly despicable and shameless!"

"Heh..." Liu Haizhong sneered twice: "I said I didn't take it, so what can you do about it!"

"I didn't take it! Fine, you still have the nerve to argue? Well then, let's wait for the police to come tonight and see if they'll believe your nonsense!"

Seeing that things were getting worse, Liu Haizhong panicked.

Wan Ping'an never expected that Liu Haizhong would be so shameless, sometimes admitting it and sometimes denying it. He was furious.

Wan Ping'an had originally thought that since he couldn't prove Liu Haizhong had taken his money, he should call the police and let them handle the matter, which would ruin Liu Haizhong's reputation. But now, Liu Haizhong's attitude clearly showed that he was unwilling to pay compensation.

"Hehe... Liu Haizhong, since this matter has already blown up, let's wait for the police to handle it and see who comes out on the losing end?"

As Liu Haizhong saw things escalating, he became a little scared. He didn't want to ruin his future over a jar of wine.

Wan Ping'an coldly stared at Liu Haizhong: "Heh, what's wrong? Got scared?"

"This... Wan Ping'an, there's no need for us to be so ruthless. We're both old men in the same courtyard. Are you trying to force me to my death?" Liu Haizhong said in a low voice.

"Heh... You dare say that? Do you even deserve it?"

"Wan Ping'an, you...you..."

Wan Ping'an's eyes widened: "What did I do wrong? Tell me!"

"Please, I'm begging you, please spare my life."

Wan Ping'an made a four-pointing gesture. "You took ten yuan from me, plus thirty for that bottle of wine, give me forty yuan, and we'll call it even..."

"No way! That thirty yuan was for my older brother; it's his retirement money. Why should you take it?"

"If you don't give it to me, I'll go to the police station and report it! Then we'll see who the police will believe!"

After Wan Ping'an finished speaking, he didn't bother with Liu Haizhong and turned to leave.

"Hey, hey, I promise you, forty yuan it is, just come back here right now."

Wan Ping'an stopped and glanced back at Liu Haizhong.

"Hand over the money!" Wan Ping'an stretched out his right hand and beckoned to him.

Helpless, Liu Haizhong took out his wallet from his pocket, counted out forty yuan, and stuffed it into Wan Ping'an's arms.

Wanping 1.7 put the forty yuan into his pocket, then grinned at Liu Haizhong: "Thanks, Liu Haizhong, I'll remember your kindness. If I see you stealing again, I'll beat you to a pulp!"

After uttering these harsh words, Wan Ping'an strode out of the Liu family compound.

Watching Wan Ping'an's departing figure, Liu Haizhong angrily cursed, "Damn it, that brat even wanted to beat me up! I'll kill you sooner or later!"

Chapter 314 Buying a door and still getting bullied

"bang"

Auntie Er knocked on the door and came out of the house; she had heard Wan Ping'an asking for money.

"Liu Haizhong, how can you be so incompetent? You took Wan Ping'an's things and then refused to admit it. Now look what happened, you even gave him forty yuan."

"How was I supposed to know that bastard was so stubborn? He wouldn't give me a single chance and insisted on taking me to the police station. What do you know?!"

"Alright, alright, I guess I was worrying for nothing." After saying that, Aunt Er swayed her plump body and waddled back to the kitchen to cook.

Liu Hai thought to himself: Damn Wan Ping'an, I'll rob you of everything sooner or later and make you penniless!

On the other side, Wan Ping'an took the money and returned home. He began to study the door of his house. Last time, Jia Zhangshi pretended to be a ghost and entered his house. This time, Liu Hai was the one who got in. What should he do next time?

No, it seems I'll have to go to the home improvement market first thing tomorrow morning to replace the door.

The next morning, Wan Ping'an went there, rented a motorcycle, and rode to the home improvement market.

We arrived at a company with a sign that read "Hongqi Decoration Company".

Although the signboard of "Hongqi Decoration Service Company" is ugly and unsightly, it looks quite imposing and powerful.

"Hey, comrade, how's your shop?" Wan Ping'an asked as he approached the doorman who was dozing off.

The gatekeeper glanced at Wan Ping'an and said impatiently, "What do you mean, 'how is it'?"

"Why is this decoration company so ugly?" Wan Ping'an asked, feigning surprise.

The security guard frowned and said, "Are your eyes on your ass? What's wrong with this shop? This is the biggest decoration company in the province! If you know what's good for you, get out of here, or I'll turn a blind eye. Otherwise, I'll throw you out."

"Holy crap! That's awesome!" Wan Ping'an muttered, then walked into the store.

"Hey kid, are you going to buy it or not? If not, get lost and don't keep me from sleeping," the security guard said impatiently.

Wan Ping'an ignored the gatekeeper and walked straight into the decoration factory, where he began to wander around.

"Hey! Are you looking for a beating, kid? Did you hear me talking to you?" the gatekeeper shouted at Wan Ping'an.

"I heard you, are your ears made of donkey hair? Why are they buzzing?" Wan Ping'an turned around and glared at the gatekeeper.

"Hey, you little brat, you've got some nerve! You dare call me a donkey! Looks like you're tired of living!" The gatekeeper rolled up his sleeves, ready to fight.

"Try touching me if you dare." Wan Ping'an narrowed his eyes.

"I'm going to do it anyway!"

As he spoke, the gatekeeper took a step forward, swung his fist, which was as big as a clay pot, and smashed it toward Wan Ping'an's forehead.

Wan Ping'an dodged to the side, then kicked the gatekeeper in the stomach, catching him off guard and knocking him to the ground.

"You..." The gatekeeper stood up, clutching his stomach, and roared at Wan Ping'an, "You little bastard, I'll beat you to a pulp today!"

Wan Ping'an curled his lip and said, "Who's afraid of who!"

After saying that, Wan Ping'an lunged at the gatekeeper again. This time, Wan Ping'an used all his strength, kicking the gatekeeper to the ground, then straddling the gatekeeper's waist, grabbing the gatekeeper's shoulders and shaking him violently, shouting, "Serves you right for being arrogant! Serves you right for bullying people!"
