Siheyuan: Banggeng and I are classmates

The next morning.

It was a rare Saturday when he could sleep in and not have to sweep the streets. Li Muhua actually felt grateful to the deaf old lady. He praised her for being useless while alive, but her death was still of some value.

After the family had breakfast, Yan Bugui had already started counting the neighbors in the yard. After gathering, more than 30 people in the front yard, led by Yan Bugui, walked towards Dongdan Square in a mighty manner.

At this time, quite a few people had gathered in the square, and there were some vendors setting up stalls to sell snacks. Li Muhua had to talk her ear off to get fifty cents from Li Haifu, and bought two kilograms of melon seeds. The family's pockets were filled with money.

"Pooh!"

Li Muhua spat out the melon seed shells, secretly blaming himself for not having any experience watching a deaf old lady being shot for the first time, and not even thinking of bringing a chair to sit down and watch the show.

The six people had not been escorted here yet, so the neighbors, with nothing to watch, could only gather together and chat.

More and more people gathered. It was a bitterly cold winter, but the square was crowded and warm. Suddenly, someone shouted loudly: "The dog traitor is coming!"

Everyone stood up instantly and looked into the distance. Li Muhua was no exception and stood on tiptoe.

Three military trucks were seen coming from the distance on the street. As the trucks got closer, everyone saw three prisoners standing in each of the two trucks at the back, facing the sides of the road, with a wooden sign hanging on their chests.

"Traitor, traitor to the country, taking the enemy as your father..." Li Muhua said softly while looking at the wooden sign.

In the blink of an eye, the military truck stopped and the crowd who came to watch the excitement rushed forward. Li Muhua was also swept forward by the crowd, until he was close enough to see the face of the deaf old lady clearly.

All six people were forced to kneel on the ground with wooden signs on their chests dragging on the ground. The deaf old lady had messy hair like a chicken coop, sunken eye sockets, and looked as haggard as a corpse, with a rag stuffed in her mouth.

"Ruan Hongmei was born in Suzhou and Hangzhou in 1884..."

Behind the deaf old lady on the stage stood an official, holding a loudspeaker in one hand and a document in the other, reading out loud the crimes the deaf old lady had committed.

It took the clerk more than twenty minutes to finish reading the deaf old lady's lengthy crime. The crowd was already furious and rushed forward, shouting:

"Kill the dog traitor..."

As they spoke, they threw the things in their hands onto the stage. Li Muhua did not see any eggs, vegetables or other props commonly used in TV dramas, but only stones and glass shards. The deaf old lady lowered her head and did not dodge, allowing everyone to throw at her.

Soon blood started to flow down his white hair. Only then did an officer come forward to protect him. After stopping the crowd, he walked behind the next prisoner.

"Sun Liangcai, born in 1913 in Sijiucheng, Minister of Metallurgy..."

Only then did Li Muhua realize that he was Sha Zhu's mentor - the "big leader". He couldn't help but praise He Daqing for his great work and even betrayed him.

The six people's life stories were told one by one, with rags stuffed in their mouths, so naturally there was no one who would cry out for injustice when facing death.

"Prepare for execution!"

As the prison leader shouted this, the police officers maintaining order pushed the crowd back.

"Bang, bang..."

Six gunshots were heard in succession.

Li Muhua did not see how several people were hit because his eyes were covered by Li Fuhai. Xu Yan next to him not only closed her own eyes, but also covered Li Yujie's eyes to prevent her from seeing.

When Li Fuhai let go of his hands, Li Muhua saw six people lying on their sides in a pool of blood. The square was quiet because of the gunshots, and suddenly a strange cry was heard from the crowd.

"He Yuzhu, why don't you go up and collect your grandma's body?"

Li Muhua looked in the direction of the He family. Other neighbors who knew Shazhu were no exception. He Daqing panicked and shouted, "He Yuzhu's grandmother has been dead for more than 40 years. Where did the grandmother come from? If you are talking nonsense, come out and say it!"

After saying that, he dragged Sha Zhu and the He family members away from the crowd in shame. When they hid at the outermost part of the square and no one made a move, He Daqing finally put his heart at ease.

The highlight was over, and after there was nothing more to watch, the crowd gradually dispersed, and the residents of the compound all went back.

There was no more noise along the way as on the way here. Instead of loudly discussing that the deaf old lady should be shot, everyone kept silent and their faces became heavy, and the air was filled with a sense of grief over the loss of one rabbit and the grief of the other.

After all, they have been neighbors for decades...

Li Muhua also frowned, thinking about what he should do next. He didn't need to worry about the He family now, there would be plenty of people to take care of it next year, and Yi Zhonghai had no one to support him in his old age. It was too late for him to hide from the He family now.

"And there's also the matter of Lou Xiao'e going abroad!" Li Muhua murmured softly after thinking hard for a while.

Apart from this incident, the plot has been messed up by him and is no longer of reference value, but Li Muhua doesn't care. Anyway, the goal of dealing with the stupid and deaf old lady and the Jia family has been achieved.

"We'll see then."

Li Muhua didn't take this matter to heart. He would urge the move as soon as the royalties arrived. He might not even live in the compound by then, so he would just take things as they come!

Back to the yard——

At noon, Yan Bugui came with a bottle of wine and started chatting with Li Haifu with his little thoughts...

The next morning, He Yushui walked into the yard carrying his luggage.

Seeing her carrying large and small bags as if she was moving, the neighbors in the yard began to speculate that He Yushui, like Sha Zhu, was also fired for being a traitor.

That’s right, the official document for the dismissal of Sha Zhu was posted at the steel mill yesterday. Everyone in the neighborhood knows about it now, so it’s not difficult to apply it to He Yushui.

Not long after He Yushui returned to the house, He Daqing rushed out of the door with a red face. After looking left and right, he walked directly to the stove and picked up a kitchen knife.

Under the gaze of the neighbors, he put the kitchen knife into his chest and strode towards the gate.

He Yushui then ran out of the house, and Aunt Yi hurriedly shouted: "Yushui, go and stop your father quickly, he is holding a kitchen knife and I don't know what he is going to do."

He Yushui nodded and trotted out of the hospital, followed by a few aunties who were watching the fun.

He Daqing rushed into the police station and chased He Yushui and others, but they were stopped by Uncle Li. As everyone was looking forward to it, He Daqing followed Li Hua and Director Zhang out of the office building.

Seeing the two people getting in the jeep and speeding away, He Daqing walked to the door of the police station, looked at He Yushui and said, "Let's go, Director Zhang will take care of the work, he will go to your textile factory to seek justice now."

"Ok!"

He Yushui nodded, and walked back with He Daqing, followed by several aunties who were still surprised and whispering.

Sure enough, in the afternoon, a worker came to the factory to inform He Yushui that the notice of his dismissal had been revoked, and He Yushui returned to the textile factory with his luggage.

He Zhang had a gloomy face the whole afternoon. She didn't dare to say a word, but her eyes kept sweeping over Sha Zhu with contempt and disgust.

Sha Zhu was also upset. You know, he was also fired from the steel mill. He Daqing didn't help him like this - he just rushed into the director's office and put a kitchen knife to his neck to beg for help...

But Sha Zhu was also thirty years old, so he naturally didn't have the nerve to ask He Daqing to go to the police station again and put a knife to his neck to save his job.

Just like that, after Qin Huairu came back from get off work, Jia Zhang pulled her aside and whispered all these things to her. Qin Huairu's face did not change, as if she didn't hear it, and she never opened her mouth to talk about it again.

The whole family sat in a circle around the dinner table. The atmosphere was much more depressing than the previous two days, and none of the four people spoke.
