The ups and downs of life in the Siheyuan

The family living in the east wing of the front yard is Lao Suntou. He is called Lao Suntou. The main reason is that he has a hunchback all year round and looks old. In fact, he is just over 40 now.

He works as a logistics support worker at the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill and is considered a transparent person both in the compound and at work.

His wife is from the city, but she has never had a job and relies on paper boxes to support her family.

Currently, I have two daughters. Due to the difficult delivery of my second child, my uterus was damaged and I was unable to have another child.

Lao Suntou felt that he had no descendants and was ashamed of his ancestors. In recent years, he often got drunk. Whenever he was drunk, he liked to beat and scold his wife and daughter.

The Sun family's daughter-in-law felt guilty for not being able to complete the task of carrying on the family line, and she tolerated all the harsh criticism from the old Sun head.

For this matter, the courtyard also held a special meeting, and several uncles also tried to persuade it many times.

Every time Lao Suntou is educated, his outlook will change slightly, but soon he will relapse into his old ways.

As the saying goes, it is difficult for an upright official to deal with household affairs. Sometimes, you should not make too much trouble, and several uncles will turn a blind eye.

The Sun family's wife has two biological brothers, so it seems that she has made the decision for her sister.

Before the three of them could approach the door, Lao Suntou stumbled out, followed by several strong young men. It seemed that there were more than two younger brothers. They came with relatives and friends.

"Old Yan, you have to make the decision for me!" Old Songtou saw that Yan Fugui seemed to have seen a savior, and immediately hid behind him.

"Sun, come out here. If you are a man, come out and see if I don't beat you to death today!"

He was furious at the young man in his mid-twenties who was in front of him, and he really had the idea of ​​beating him to death.

"That is, do you have a husband and father like you? Look at the injuries on my sister and niece. Are you still human?!"

A young man under 20 shouted while wiping his tears.

"Yes, come out, come out if you can," several people behind also shouted.

Except for the two younger brothers who really wanted to beat Lao Sun on the head, the others were more waving flags and shouting.

The young man in the lead still didn't want to let go of Lao Suntou, and wanted to bypass Yan Fugui and pull him out.

His move made Lao Suntou behind Yan Fugui scream.

Yan Fugui frowned. He didn't want to get involved in these nonsense, but it was his responsibility and it happened in the front yard. He had to step forward.

Coupled with He Yuzhu, the God of War of the Siheyuan, and his sons who were about to rush over, he was very confident and reached out to stop him.

"Just a few hits will be enough. If there is any matter, we can discuss it. Now is a civilized society. Don't hit and kill all the time," Neighbor A said.

"That's right, old Sun has a nosebleed. Don't think there are no men left in our No. 95 courtyard." Neighbor B also stood up.

"what happened?"

After hearing the news, Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong each came out with a few people. Yi Zhonghai, who was the leader, was full of power, and Liu Haizhong followed closely with his head held high and his belly chubby.

Suddenly the front yard was filled with people, all the adults in the yard, and a few young guys looked at the dozen or so young people who came to look for trouble with a sinister smile.

At this time, if any uncle shouts, "Fight me," they will rush forward and give the outsiders some trouble.

Neighbors usually quarrel with each other, but once it involves people from the outer courtyard, they must be unanimous, otherwise you will not be able to stay in the compound anymore.

Everyone sneered at this kind of people who ate in and out, and crowded around.

If it was just a fight between brother-in-law and brother-in-law, no one would really care about it, but obviously the other party has other relatives or friends.

Although most people don't like Old Suntou's behavior, it won't work if someone beats him up in the courtyard.

"A few little bastards are very brave and don't ask around. Where is this place?" Xu Damao stood in the front row with an arrogant face, looking at the few people fiercely, full of momentum.

Even though he can't beat Silly Zhu, he never lacks the courage to fight.

Yan Jiecheng squeezed to Li Yuan's side and said, "Xiao Yuan, please wait a moment. With a few broken 13 things, we can climb down."

Although there were many people coming from the other party, being surrounded by dozens of young and middle-aged people made me feel nervous.

I thought that there were enough people coming, and most courtyards would not dare to come forward to fry wings, but I did not expect that courtyard No. 95 would be so united.

At this time, the leading young man took a step forward, cupped his fists and bowed in all directions.

"Dear young and old men, I am Sun Wang's brother-in-law. Everyone should know what he is like. He is a bastard who always beats and scolds his wife and children.

We really can't stand it today. Since no one makes the decision, we younger brothers have to take the lead.

I know that our actions today are a bit reckless and have offended all of our neighbors. Let us be beaten and punished, and we will continue. But we made a decision for my sister and niece.

From now on, we will hide in Courtyard No. 95 and wait for him on the road until he realizes his mistake."

The young man's words were watertight. They not only gave face to the old and young men in the courtyard, but also expressed their helplessness. They also alluded to the inaction of several older men.

No, several uncles couldn't help but look at each other.

The people who surrounded him looked at each other in confusion, feeling that they were a little helping others to harm others, and they couldn't help but look at Yi Zhonghai.

"It is certainly wrong for Lao Suntou to beat his wife and daughter, but it is also wrong for you to beat someone in the courtyard, no matter what the reason."

Yi Zhonghai had no choice but to bite the bullet and step forward, his brain working rapidly as he quickly organized his words.

"Yes, we are a legal society now. What is a legal society? When you encounter problems, you have to go to an organization, such as the uncles in the courtyard. If the elders cannot solve the problem, you can go to the street or the police."

Liu Haizhong and Yi Zhonghai have worked together for many years and have a tacit understanding. They immediately pick up the conversation and use their truth to pressure others.

"In this way, you can fight, but there is a reason for it, and we will not pursue it, but then we have to sit down and talk.

Find a proper solution, what you think."

I thought I was going to get a beating today, but I didn't expect the man in the courtyard to be so reasonable.

Just as he was about to speak, Lao Suntou squeezed He Yuzhu away and walked to the front.

"No, you smashed up my house and beat me again. If I hadn't run fast, I would have been beaten to death by you. This matter is not over yet. I want to report it to the police."

Before his brother-in-law could speak, Yi Zhonghai glared at Lao Suntou angrily, "What do you mean, you have to solve this matter yourself?!"

"Old Suntou, you have to think about it."

Yan Fugui felt a sense of relief. If the courtyard did not need to be involved in this matter today, then there would be nothing to do with the uncles. From now on, no one in the courtyard would be able to say anything if they ignored Lao Suntou's nonsense.

"Master Yi, that's not what I meant, I, I, I..." When he heard that the courtyard was ignoring him, he felt panicked and didn't know how to make excuses.

"What the hell, get out of here," Liu Haizhong was also angry, and the other uncles were also worried about this trivial matter like Lao Sun's head. Because of this, I was scolded several times by the street.

Lao Suntou felt aggrieved, but he really didn't dare to offend the uncles. Whether in work or in the compound, he needs to look up to a few people.

"Everything happens for a reason, and we won't hold you accountable for your actions, but it won't happen in the future."

After Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, he glared at the leading young man.

The young man at the head had blue veins on his forehead, and the others behind him also felt humiliated.

"Okay, next time, I must discuss it with some of the elders in the courtyard." Even if the young man was angry, he could still make a pun.

He Yuzhu heard the harshness and took a step forward, "What do you mean?!"

Liu Haizhong grabbed him. He Yuzhu looked back at Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong. They both shook their heads. He Yuzhu turned to look at several young people and retreated behind the uncles unconvinced.
