Chapter 129 The Liu Brothers' Resistance

To be precise, this was before the full implementation of the employee grade system.

Just two days ago, Liu Haizhong was finally released from prison.

At the police station, he had been making solemn promises just a moment before.

As soon as he stepped out of the police station, his expression turned ferocious, and he cursed, "Damn it, what kind of world is this? It's perfectly normal for a father to beat his son, and I didn't even kill him, yet I still got three months in jail."

These three months were hellish for Liu Haizhong.

Although I had been inside once before, I stayed longer this time.

The torment they endured during this period goes without saying.

This was something he didn't even want to recall, so the thought of the two sons of the culprit who had put him in jail made him grit his teeth. What about the police station's guarantee? He'd completely forgotten about it.

As for Yan Bugui, the doorman, he couldn't help but sigh a couple of times after seeing Liu Haizhong return.

"Old Liu, you're finally back."

"A truly momentous event occurred last month."

Yan Bugui, after all, didn't have any deep-seated grudges with the Liu family, so he simply explained the matter of grain rationing. This surprised Liu Haizhong briefly before he nodded and exchanged a few more pleasantries.

When he got home, he had a gloomy face.

He first looked at Zhou Xiuying, then put down his luggage.

Before Zhou Xiuying could even offer a welcome or say a few words, she was met with a crisp, resounding slap.

"Damn it, why didn't that bitch come to pick me up?"

Zhou Xiuying felt wronged after being slapped.

He quickly began to explain.

"Honey, it's not that I don't want to pick you up, it's just that so much has happened these past few months. Let me explain slowly, okay?"

Although Liu Haizhong was very angry at the moment, after talking with Yan Bugui...

He could sense Yan Bugui's slightly amused gaze falling on him, and he could guess that something big must have happened in the past few months, so he simply put his mind at ease, but he still kept threatening him.

"You'd better give me a reason."

Zhou Xiuying was indeed conflicted at this moment, because she wasn't sure if Liu Haizhong could handle all the things that had happened in the past few months, so she told the first piece of news first.

That means the administrator position in the bangs is naturally gone.

Upon hearing this news, Liu Haizhong was so angry that he almost suffered angina and fainted.

That's right. Even after serving three months in jail, Liu Haizhong still believed that his position as an administrator should still exist. After all, didn't he and Yi Zhonghai have criminal records before they competed for the position?

Thinking that he had lost his only official position, his anger towards the Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu brothers intensified.

"It's all because of those two little bastards, otherwise how would I have lost this administrator position?"

Seeing Zhou Xiuying's hesitation, Liu Haizhong, even if he was slow-witted, realized that there might be something else going on. So when pressed for an answer, Zhou Xiuying finally gritted her teeth and spoke.

After explaining the punishment imposed on him by the steel mill, Liu Haizhong felt his blood surging, his vision went white, and he collapsed straight down.

There was nothing I could do. Not only did I lose the administrator, but my salary was also reduced, and the whole steel rolling mill knew about it.

His own salary has plummeted to the lowest level, which is like adding fuel to the fire for the Liu family right now.

Half a day later, Liu Haizhong finally woke up after Zhou Xiuying pressed his philtrum.

Zhou Xiuying then explained with a look of helplessness and grievance.

"So I got so busy that I forgot about it. Plus, with this so-called food system and ration coupons, and you haven't been back for months, we can't just sit around and eat our savings, so I've been pasting matchboxes all this time."

After glancing at the matchboxes displayed in the house, Liu Haizhong...

Now I understand why Zhou Xiuying didn't come to pick me up.

Although this calmed Zhou Xiuying down, he still needed an outlet for his rage, so he couldn't help but curse.

"When those two brats get back, I'll teach them a lesson."

However, Zhou Xiuying hesitated to speak at this moment. After all, she had heard the premise that the Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu brothers signed the letter of understanding last time. If they went to the Women's Federation again...

Liu Haizhong was determined to go in, but Zhou Xiuying thought the two of them didn't have that much courage. After all, they had experienced the suffering they had endured over the past few months, hadn't they?

As school ended, the children gradually went home.

When the three Liu brothers entered and saw Liu Haizhong return, Liu Guangqi's expression changed slightly, but he still chose to say a few kind words.

"Dad, you're finally back."

After nodding, Liu Haizhong looked at Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu with a gloomy expression, subconsciously pulled off his belt, and muttered incoherent curses.

"It's all your fault, you two little beasts! Otherwise, why would I have suffered for the past three months?"

But this time, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu, or more accurately, Liu Guangtian, did not hide or show any fear when they saw him taking off his belt.

Liu Guangtian simply raised his head and stared coldly at Liu Haizhong, saying, "Go ahead and hit me. This time, I definitely won't finish in the first two segments. I'll kneel down at the Women's Federation with Guangfu. It won't be a matter of months before we get out."

"It's fine if you kill us both. I've already found out, so you'll have to eat a peanut too."

After saying that, Liu Guangtian stared straight at Liu Haizhong with a cold expression.

Because of Cao Wei's suggestion, the two occasionally went to watch pig slaughtering after school. At this moment, their long-standing fear of Liu Haizhong had dissipated somewhat, in addition to what they had said when they signed the guarantee last time.

At this moment, even when facing Liu Haizhong, he felt no fear whatsoever.

Upon hearing these words, Liu Hai was first stunned, and then his anger almost completely overwhelmed his reason. He was about to say that he would beat the two brothers to death, but he was quickly forced to calm down.

There was no other way. After hearing that he would also have to eat peanuts in the end, he used to scoff at it, but the experiences of the past three months forced him to realize that he had signed a letter of understanding and stayed for so long. If something really happened, he would probably have to leave with them.

This forced Liu Haizhong to swallow his anger.

Ultimately, the fear of the police station overcame the anger in his heart.

"You two idiots, all you do is give me trouble every day! Get the hell out of here! I don't want to see either of you tonight!"

But the anger in his heart could not be vented through violence; it had to be released in some way. So, after yelling at the two brothers...

Liu Haizhong could only return to his room in frustration, feeling that his patriarchal authority had been challenged. But what he was currently experiencing forced him to swallow his anger.

The two brothers, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu, exchanged a glance and looked completely relieved.

Unexpectedly, this time Liu Haizhong really didn't dare to touch them again.

At this moment, Zhou Xiuying, after asking Liu Haizhong a few questions, couldn't help but scold the two brothers.

"That's your father! How can you talk to him like that?"

"That's still our dad. The way he's acting, he probably wants to kill someone."

Liu Guangtian's sarcastic remarks, without any hint of backing down, were followed by the sudden sound of things being smashed and a furious roar from inside the room.

"Get out! Get the hell out of here!"

After exchanging a glance, the two brothers silently walked out of the house.

It wasn't until dinner time, when they were hungry, that the two brothers finally returned home.

However, to the brothers' surprise...

This time, they weren't given a seat at the dinner table, and it seemed like they weren't even served any food.

At this moment, Liu Haizhong couldn't help but say sarcastically.

"Oh ho, I thought you were so tough. If you're so capable, then don't eat my food."

However, unlike the cowardice in Liu Guangfu's eyes, Liu Guangtian continued to speak calmly.

"Okay, then I'll go to the Women's Federation and tell them you're trying to starve my brother and me to death."

These words nearly made Liu Haizhong, who had just felt a little smug, furious again. He subconsciously reached for his belt, remembering what had happened before.

He could only slam his fist on the table, engulfed in impotent rage.

Zhou Xiuying, standing to the side, glanced at the two of them with slight displeasure.

Immediately, two steamed buns were brought out, one for each person, which could be considered as helping Liu Haizhong vent his anger.

The two brothers didn't say anything, they just squatted in the corner and finished eating before returning to their room.

The next day, as he went to work with Liu Haizhong, he felt as if everyone in the room was pointing and whispering about him, and he felt utterly humiliated, yet he couldn't vent his anger.

Just as he was feeling incredibly wronged, a reform was finally introduced the following afternoon.
