Courtyard House: Purchasing Agents' Comeback from the Great Famine

Yan Fugui nodded in agreement when he heard Yi Zhonghai's words: "Old Liu, Old Yi is right. You have a feudal patriarchal mindset, which is unacceptable."

Before Liu Haizhong could reply, Yi Zhonghai made the decision directly: "Since we've already talked things out, let's leave it at that. Old Liu can no longer casually attack Guangtian and Guangfu."

After a pause, Yi Zhonghai continued, "Also, Guangtian and Guangfu, you two must never lay a hand on your father again. Otherwise, if the neighborhood committee finds out about this, you two will be used as examples and paraded through the streets."

"Alright, everyone disperse, that's all."

After saying that, Yi Zhonghai and Yan Fugui left without giving Liu Haizhong a chance to speak.

Yan Fugui and Yi Zhonghai had a tacit understanding about this matter; neither of them wanted to bring it up with the street office. Otherwise, they would not only gain no benefit, but Director Wang would also leave a bad impression on their compound.

After all, it's never a good thing for a father to beat his son for no reason, or for a son to beat his father.

The college-wide meeting ended abruptly, with a promising start but a disappointing finish.

"this……"

When Liu Haizhong saw that Yi Zhonghai and Yan Fugui had both left, he didn't know what to do. He had so much to say, but nowhere to say it.

He glared hatefully at the Liu brothers and stormed off to the backyard.

When the three old men left, everyone in the courtyard went home.

At today's hospital-wide meeting, Jia Zhangshi did not utter a single word, which is extremely rare.

Now that Banggeng has been kidnapped by a beggar and has also been swindled out of her last three hundred yuan of retirement money, Jia Zhangshi has no mood to meddle in other people's business.

When Wang Feng and Qin Jingru returned to the house, Qin Jingru couldn't help but ask:

"Brother Wang Feng, the whole college meeting is over. Didn't you say before that after the whole college meeting you would tell me how you knew in advance that there would be a good show in the backyard? Now you can tell me."

Lu Banxia looked at Wang Feng, feeling quite curious herself.

Wang Feng laughed and then told the whole story about how Liu Guangtian and his brother had begged him for help, and how he had promised to lend them money to buy them an apprenticeship if they beat up Liu Haizhong.

Qin Jingru and Lu Banxia were stunned when they heard Wang Feng's words. They never expected that the reason why Liu Guangtian and his brother dared to resist Liu Haizhong was because the culprit was Wang Feng.

"Hehe, Brother Wang Feng, you're so mean, but I like it. I've disliked Liu Haizhong for a long time. He's always acting like a leader in the yard. People like him deserve to be beaten up," Qin Jingru said with a smile.

Lu Banxia nodded in agreement with a smile: "Brother Feng, you don't know, I used to live in the backyard, and I could often hear the screams of Liu Guangtian and his brother. My room was also close to Liu Haizhong's house, and it was so noisy that it bothered me a lot."

"And another thing, in all my years, this is the first time I've ever seen someone like Liu Haizhong, who uses his son as a punching bag. If Liu Guangtian and his brother were his adopted sons, that would be understandable, but these are his own sons. I just don't understand how he could do that. It's no wonder that someone like him gets beaten by his son."

Qin Jingru waved her hand: "Banxia, ​​don't you understand yet? I'm sure that when Liu Haizhong and his wife get old, Liu Guangtian and his brother will definitely not take care of them."

"Yeah, I feel the same way."

Wang Feng poured himself a cup of tea and drank it all in one gulp. He laughed and said, "Alright, you two rest well at home. I have something to do, so I'll head out first. Jingru, I'll be back at 5:30 this afternoon. You can cook a little later."

"OK."

Wang Feng walked out of No. 95 courtyard, checked the time, and it was almost 1:30 pm. He then rode his bicycle towards No. 68 courtyard in Dongzhimen.

......

The middle courtyard, the pool.

The Liu brothers helped each other clean their wounds. Although they were in excruciating pain all over their bodies, they were incredibly excited.

Liu Guangfu asked, "Brother, do you think Dad really won't hit us anymore?"

"Ouch! Guangfu, be gentle."

Liu Guangtian winced in pain, then laughed and said, "It shouldn't happen again, Guangfu. If Dad hits us for no reason like before, we'll fight back. Anyway, if we team up, we're not afraid of him."

Liu Guangfu nodded repeatedly, grinning, "Brother, you're right. It felt so good to beat up Dad today. We'll never be used as punching bags by Dad again, and he'll beat us for no reason."

"By the way, bro, we beat up Dad today. Do you think Brother Wang Feng will really lend you money to buy you an apprenticeship job?"

Liu Guangtian frowned, then suddenly understood.

"Probably. Even if Wang Feng doesn't lend me money to buy a job, we should still thank him properly this time. If it weren't for his encouragement, we don't know how long we would have been whipped by Dad's belt."

After a pause, Liu Guangtian continued his analysis: "However, Wang Feng is the only cadre in our institute, and he's been playing with us since childhood. He wouldn't lie to us. He said he would get the job quota sorted out for me next week, and we'll know in another week."

Liu Guangfu nodded: "Well, I hope Brother Wang Feng won't lie to us."

......

Zhongyuan, Yi Zhonghai's house.

As soon as Yi Zhonghai returned to the house, an older woman couldn't help but ask, "Old Yi, haven't you been neglecting the affairs of the courtyard lately? Why are you so concerned about Guangtian and Guangfu's matter this time?"

Yi Zhonghai drank a glass of cold water, frowned, and said, "What do you know, you woman? Is this a matter for Guangtian and Guangfu? This is a problem with the atmosphere of our hospital."

"If we ignore the incident of Guangtian and Guangfu beating Lao Liu, what if the other people in the compound are led astray? We don't have any children. What if the young people in the compound bully or beat us when we get old?"

"Why."

The middle-aged woman sighed deeply, looking very downcast. In the end, it all came down to the fact that the two of them didn't have children.

She felt increasingly guilty towards Yi Zhonghai. If she had been able to have children, she wouldn't have caused so much trouble.

However, she was still very touched that Yi Zhonghai had not divorced her and remarried all these years.

She had tried to persuade Yi Zhonghai so many times to adopt an orphanage, but he just wouldn't listen and insisted on finding a ready-made caregiver. There was nothing she could do about it.

The old woman sighed inwardly. She felt that this matter was unreliable. The existing elderly people were all adults, and Lao Yi was still looking for a job at the steel rolling mill. He had a job and could earn money on his own. Why should he take care of you in your old age?

Old Yi is now unwilling to spend any money or effort, only making empty promises to others, yet he wants to get a free elderly person. Is there such a good thing?

Not everyone is like Sha Zhu. Even if Sha Zhu was, after finding out that Lao Yi had withheld his and Yu Shui's living expenses, he still ended up falling out with Lao Yi.
