Siheyuan, don't mess with me

Grandma was smiling from ear to ear, and Second Aunt was busy cooking in the kitchen.

After the crowd dispersed, more than a dozen brothers from the same family came over. None of them had empty hands. They were either serving dishes or carrying bottles of wine!

As soon as I entered the yard, I heard Auntie Si and Uncle Si calling me. They seemed to be closer to grandma! After all, when I was young, I could always get some food from Auntie Si when I was hungry!

When they were naughty and were chased, Fourth Aunt’s place was their safe haven. They would chase them to Fourth Aunt’s yard. As long as they saw them go in, they would shake their heads and go home to keep an account! It was useless to go there, because the fourth brother’s wife was very fierce! This was what Grandpa and his brothers all agreed!

So, in Chenjia Village, even though grandma is just an old lady who loves to laugh, if she gets angry, the whole village will get involved!

Since there are too many young people, we can just set up two tables. There is no need for Second Aunt to cook. The dishes brought by each family are enough!

Chen Zhiguo is of course also an object of attention. First of all, he is the old lady’s most beloved grandson and the only boy in her fourth uncle’s family!

Secondly, Chen Zhiguo was the most educated person in Chenjia Village. At that time, people of intellectual caliber had great respect for each other. It was only because Chen Zhiguo was younger in generation that he sat at the last seat to accompany the guests for drinking. If he were in other places, he would definitely have sat at the seat of honor!

When Chen Zhiguo saw someone coming, he took out the wine that his grandfather had hidden in the cabinet without his grandfather's instructions!

Grandpa kept two bottles of Fenjiu and one bottle of Erguotou, but he didn't drink them! Chen Zhiguo thought that he would bring more wine to Grandpa next time he came!

Uncle Chen Dahu saw Chen Zhiguo taking the wine and wanted to speak, but was pulled over by the grandmother next to him, "Go serve the dishes, what are you doing standing here like a wooden stake!"

Chen Zhiguo poured wine for everyone one by one, two bottles of Fenjiu for a round, and Chen Zhiguo poured some Erguotou for himself!

Everyone who saw this action nodded in agreement, the Chen family now had a successor!

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

After the excitement, Chen Zhiguo and his grandfather sat on the kang and drank water, while his grandmother took a big needle to mend Chen Zhiguo's shoes. Under the dim yellow kerosene lamp, his grandmother rubbed the big needle on her hair, then poked a hole in the sole, and then threaded it with a thick needle, one by one!

"Grandson, when you go back tomorrow, go to your grandma's house and bring some meat over for your grandpa!"

"Got it, Grandma! I'll be there tomorrow!"

Chen Zhiguo’s grandmother’s home is in Qinjia Village at the foot of the mountain, separated from Chenjia Village by a river!

Chen Zhiguo can't go there often because it's not on his way back to the city!

My grandparents fled here to escape famine. They bought a house and land for their family in Qinjia Village and settled down there!

It is easy to imagine the bullying a person with a different surname would suffer if he lived in a village of a big surname!

My grandfather used to be a well-read man, but he lost faith in the old society. Otherwise, with his level of education, he would have been able to find a job anywhere!

My grandmother was a child bride raised by my grandfather. However, my grandfather never despised her for her lack of education, and the two of them always treated each other with respect!

Even if the hand that used to hold a pen is changed to holding a hoe, grandpa can still face it calmly!

Chen Zhiguo's mother is my grandfather's eldest daughter, and then my grandmother gave birth to four boys for my grandfather, namely, Wang Jiaguo, Wang Jiafu, Wang Jiamin, and Wang Jiaqiang! It just means a rich country and a strong people!

Chen Zhiguo didn't go back very often. In the past ten years, before he moved to the city, he went there often, but he was still young at that time. Later, when his father Chen Dayong moved to the city, Chen Zhiguo came back less often!

Especially in the summer when Chen Zhiguo was ten years old, Chen Zhiguo and his mother went back to her mother's house. Chen Zhiguo, who was sweating profusely after playing, jumped into the river to take a bath. As a result, the warm water was cold and his legs cramped. He almost drowned in the river!

He was rescued by his fourth uncle, and was beaten by his grandfather because he didn't think highly of Chen Zhiguo! He didn't think highly of him! Chen Zhiguo ran away secretly! His fourth uncle suffered an unexpected disaster! He lay in bed for several days!

From then on, Wang Meihua never took him back with her when she went back to her parents' home, because that would have scared her to the point of her legs going limp!

With memories of his childhood in mind and the alcohol taking effect, Chen Zhiguo fell asleep on the kang without realizing it!

When Chen Zhiguo woke up, it was already daybreak. He went to the toilet and washed up, then supervised his grandparents while they drank a cup of milk powder. He also drank a cup. He had to drink it because his grandma wouldn't let him!

After eating, I carried the good things grandma had prepared for me and went down the mountain!

If you want to go to Qinjia Village, you have to take a detour if you want to go to Qinjia Village!

Fortunately, Chen Zhiguo has enough physical strength and can run fast when there is no one around, so his speed is very fast!

My grandmother's house is at the edge of Qinjia Village. My grandfather likes this location. He doesn't like dealing with people he finds annoying!

After walking through the entire Qinjia Village, we finally arrived at my grandma's house! I haven't been back for five or six years, but the village hasn't changed much, so Chen Zhiguo naturally still remembers it!

But today is a little unusual. Why are there so many people gathered at grandma's house?

Standing on the outskirts of the crowd, I could hear shouts from inside, "Pay back the money! Pay back the money!"

Something happened at my grandma's house! Chen Zhiguo pushed through the crowd and squeezed in. A few young people were a little unconvinced about being squeezed in, but under Chen Zhiguo's cold gaze, they all withdrew their eyes from choosing!

Only after squeezing in could I see clearly that there were quite a few people standing in my grandma's yard. My grandma and grandpa were there, as were my four uncles, and my four aunts were also standing by the house with their children!

There were five or six men confronting them, who looked like hooligans. Among them, the fourth uncle was protected by three uncles behind him!

"Either pay back the money or use the house to pay off the debt!" the leading man shouted.

"This is your gambling debt. I would rather Jiaqiang go to jail than give you the money!" Grandpa hated this kind of thing the most. He was so angry that his body was shaking!

"I just lent him money. I have never been in the casino!" The leading man was not panicked at all. "Ask your son if he borrowed money from my house. He didn't say he wanted to gamble when he borrowed the money. As for what he said, you can ask him yourself!"

Grandpa turned around and looked at the fourth uncle. At this time, the fourth uncle lowered his head and did not dare to look at his father!

Grandpa sighed and said, "Let's move! Give them the house!"

"Dad, I can't do that!" "Dad, fight them!"

"Dad, we're not moving!"

The whole yard was in chaos. Chen Zhiguo finally understood everything by now, but he just didn't know how much money his fourth uncle owed!

Chen Zhiguo squeezed in along the wall, "Grandpa! Grandma!"

Chen Zhiguo's shouting startled the family who were gathered together and struggling.

"Zhiguo, why are you here?" It was my uncle Wang Jiaguo who spoke!

"I came back from grandma's house to see grandma and grandpa!"

At this time, grandma also came over, and I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry!

"Grandma, it's okay! Don't worry!" Chen Zhiguo comforted his grandma and put down the backpack!

He stretched his shoulders and walked up to the man who was in charge of the bill. "What's your name? How much does my fourth uncle owe you?"

"My last name is Qin, Qin Ergou! What? You want to pay back the money for your uncle?"

"Just tell me how much it costs, and don't talk nonsense!"

"Hey! You're not big, but you have a big temper. I'm not going to accept it so early today!"

"Get out if you don't agree! If you dare to stab me here, I'll break my legs!" Chen Zhiguo would not give in at all!

Not to mention that he himself is not afraid of these thugs! Even if the whole village comes, he is not afraid, because he has Chenjia Village, a strong family behind him!

It was not known whether it was because of Chen Zhiguo's toughness or because Qin Ergou was a bully who only feared the strong and bullied the weak, but he sneered and said, "Harmony brings wealth, harmony brings wealth! Your uncle owes a total of one hundred yuan! Will you pay it back for him?"

"IOU!" Chen Zhiguo stretched out his hand.

"Give me the money!" Qin Ergou was not stupid. He would not take out the IOU without the money.

Chen Zhiguo took out a hundred yuan from his pocket and waved it in his hands, "Here's the money, let me see the IOU."

Qin Ergou also took out an IOU from his pocket, but instead of handing it to Chen Zhiguo, he unfolded it and showed it to Chen Zhiguo!

"Give you money!" Chen Zhiguo said without hesitation.

"Zhiguo can't give it!"

"It's okay, Grandpa! Listen to me!"

Qin Ergou's eyes turned red when he saw the hundred yuan. He handed over the IOU with one hand and grabbed the money with the other. Chen Zhiguo took the IOU and also let go and gave him the money!

Several uncles behind Chen Zhiguo wanted to rush up and take back the money, but they were stopped by their grandfather!

Qin Ergou took the money and wanted to leave. As soon as he turned around, he heard Chen Zhiguo shouting "Wait!"

"What? I've paid back the money. What else do you want?" Qin Ergou was also a little proud. He saw that the boy was quite aggressive and didn't pay back the money obediently!

"This money is easy to make, isn't it? In less than a month, I was already 20 yuan, and you raised it to 100 yuan. Nine out of 13 I get, and you can't even count it!"

"This is the rule, and I didn't ask your fourth uncle to borrow it!" Qin Ergou boasted, feeling that he had stood up this time!

"If I report this IOU to the police, do you want to know what will happen? Loan sharking is a weapon used by feudal forces to exploit the working people. You dare to use it? Aren't you afraid that the police will label you as a criminal gang? Tell me, how do we solve this problem?"

"I'm not afraid, he asked to borrow it himself!" Qin Ergou said with his neck stiff.

"Since you are not afraid, I will take my fourth uncle with me today. Let's go report to the police!" Chen Zhiguo pulled Wang Jiaqiang and was about to go out.

Wang Jiaqiang still didn't want to go, "Zhiguo, let's forget it! I'll pay you back the money when I earn it!"

At this time, grandpa was angry, "You useless thing, if you don't go with Zhiguo today, you will get out of the Wang family, and I will not have a son like you!"

Wang Jiaqiang looked at his father's angry expression and knew that he could not escape today. He stood dejectedly behind Chen Zhiguo and followed him out!

Just as they were about to reach the gate, Qin Ergou and his men blocked their way, "Don't go!"

"What? You still want to rob me? Do you think I have money on me?"

"Who the hell wants to steal money? Who am I to forbid you to report to the police?"

"If you stop me, I will think you want to rob me. Will you let me? Look, everyone! Qin Ergou is trying to rob me!"

Qin Ergou got angry and kicked Chen Zhiguo!

Chapter 39 The conflict escalates!

But imagination is beautiful and reality is cruel!

Qin Ergou thought that Chen Zhiguo was just good at talking, but in fact, he was just like the four brothers of the Wang family, all softies, and easy to bully! Except for that old man, he was very tough!

You will return the same way you came, and even worse!

Qin Ergou was kicked back by Chen Zhiguo, his butt landing on the ground and sliding!

The few thugs with him also stopped, but how could Chen Zhiguo let them escape!

He took a step forward, and bang! bang! bang! A few punches, still the power worked miracles, the power was so strong and the punches were so fast that no one could defend against it!

The four of Qin Ergou's brothers also lay down. "Uncle, bring the rope over here, tie them up, and let's report to the police!"

Just as the three uncles were surrounding them with ropes, a man walked out of the crowd and asked, "What are you doing? How can you beat someone up?"

When the uncles saw the man coming, they all stopped and said, "Uncle, tie him up, don't listen to him!"

"Nonsense! What are you doing? Is there any law?"

"Who are you? You are speaking for the criminals. You are in cahoots with them!"

"Nonsense, I am the village chief of Qinjia Village, Qin Baoguo!"
