Siheyuan: Crossing the two worlds, if you don't obey, you will be a beast

Li Dongyu was confident. He knew that although he wanted to kill Bang Geng, he couldn't do that. He chose to kick the opponent's soft belly and used less force. Otherwise, with Bang Geng's small body, wouldn't he vomit blood if he kicked him with all his strength? So even if the opponent went to check his injuries, they would not meet the standards. Bang Geng was still rolling on the ground, which was just pretending. After all, others couldn't see Jia Zhang's little eyes, but he saw it clearly.

Hearing this, Yi Zhonghai stared at Li Dongyu, the young man who didn't know what was good for him. He called him by his name without any courtesy and asked for compensation of 100 yuan. And it looked like he would report to the police if the Jia family didn't pay him. In all these years, Yi Zhonghai had never seen anyone dare to be so disrespectful to him in this courtyard. Yi Zhonghai was so angry that he had no choice.

After all, what Li Dongyu said was the truth. Now the Jia family was really unreasonable. Yi Zhonghai could only use soft tactics if hard tactics didn’t work: “You also saw the Jia family, an orphan and a widow, and only Dongxu had a ration of food. The conditions were already difficult. Don’t you think it’s a bit too much to ask for a hundred yuan? If it were to spread that Li Dongyu bullied the orphans and widows, wouldn’t it be bad for everyone?”

Li Dongyu looked at Yi Zhonghai in front of him, and he could not help but feel angry. He understood that Yi Zhonghai was using the so-called moral standards to threaten others again. So, he refuted without hesitation:

"Yi Zhonghai, listen to me! What do you mean by orphans and widows? Is Jia Dongxu not a human being? He is your apprentice, and he also enjoys the treatment of a first-class worker in the factory, with a monthly income of almost 30 yuan! Tell me, how can you tell that the Jia family has a hard life? Look at the fat appearance of Jia Zhang and Bang Geng, who look like two pigs. Is this considered a difficult life? And those families of Uncle Li and Aunt Wang in our backyard have no source of income at all. They are truly poor families, do you understand? So, there is nothing to discuss about this matter!"

Then, Li Dongyu said firmly: "In a word, either you pay me the money and clean up the house, and the matter will be settled; if you disagree, just say it quickly, and I will go to the police station to report the case immediately, so as not to waste everyone's precious time here. Everyone is very busy."

Seeing Li Dongyu, who was as stubborn as a rock, Yi Zhonghai felt helpless. He knew that if the problem at hand could not be properly solved, it would bring endless troubles to everyone. So he turned his eyes to Jia Dongxu and said earnestly: "Dongxu, you are the pillar of the family. What do you think about this matter? After all, it concerns the future of your son Banggeng, please consider it carefully!"

At this moment, Jia Zhang was about to make a scene, but was stopped by Jia Dongxu in a stern voice: "Mom, please don't make trouble, okay?" Hearing this, Jia Zhang was immediately furious and retorted: "Why do you ask me to make trouble?" Seeing that the two were about to argue, Yi Zhonghai hurriedly stopped them and signaled Jia Dongxu to continue expressing his opinion.

After hesitating for a moment, Jia Dongxu turned to look at Yi Zhonghai and asked sincerely: "Master, in your opinion, how should I deal with this?" Yi Zhonghai secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Jia Dongxu was quite sensible and knew how to respect his master. He smiled slightly and replied firmly: "Dongxu, in my opinion, this incident is related to Banggeng's future. We might as well swallow our anger for the time being and pay some money to settle the matter. However, this matter is not over yet. We will never let Li Dongyu go easily. When we find a good opportunity, we must give him a blow to let him know who has the final say in this courtyard!"

Jia Dongxu couldn't help but feel sad when he heard this. Although his family was not extremely poor, this mere 100 yuan was not a small amount for them. After all, it was the pension that his father had exchanged for his life, and it was all firmly held in his mother's hands. Jia Dongxu was penniless at the moment, and the only 5 yuan he had was saved by his frugal life. In desperation, he had to turn to his master for help.

Yi Zhonghai was speechless when he saw this. However, when he thought that Jia Dongxu might become his support in his later years, he felt that this 100 yuan might be able to exchange for Jia Dongxu's gratitude, which was worth it. So, Yi Zhonghai said without hesitation: "Dongxu, don't worry, the master will pay this 100 yuan for you first, and use it to compensate Li Dongyu."

When Jia Dongxu heard this, he was overjoyed. He secretly thanked Yi Zhonghai for following the right person. This master was really great! Excited, he quickly thanked Yi Zhonghai and said that he would return the money as soon as he received his salary. If Jia Zhang was not watching closely, he would have rushed over and called him "adoptive father".

Although he was just being polite, in Jia Dongxu's heart, he really felt that the money of this master would be his money for a hundred years to come, so there was no point in returning it to him, so he just used it in advance.

Yi Zhonghai took out ten ten-yuan bills from his pocket and handed them to Jia Dongxu, while instructing him to give them to Li Dongyu quickly.

Jia Dongxu took the money, turned and walked towards Li Dongyu, with a cunning look in his eyes.

He handed the money to Li Dongyu and said with a smile: "Li Dongyu, this is a hundred yuan from our family as compensation to you, please count it."

Li Dongyu counted the money and confirmed that it was correct. He said coldly: "Since you have the money, I won't say much. Remember, keep an eye on your children in the future and don't cause trouble again. Also, tell your wife to clean up my room immediately, and make sure the door of my house is closed when I come back." After that, he turned and left the yard.

Yi Zhonghai looked at Li Dongyu's figure getting farther and farther away, and secretly vowed in his heart that he would find a suitable opportunity no matter what to make this ignorant and arrogant brat suffer!

At the same time, Li Dongyu, who had just walked out of the yard, was wandering around bored. Suddenly, he had an idea: "Yes! I can go to the supply and marketing cooperative and maybe find some treasures. After all, I have so much money now, how can I not spend some money?" Thinking of this, Li Dongyu couldn't help but smile, and his steps became lighter.

However, when he arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative with great enthusiasm, he suddenly came to his senses - although he had money, he didn't even have a receipt in his hand. What should he do? Without a receipt, it was simply impossible to move forward! Helplessly, Li Dongyu could only stare at the dazzling array of goods on the shelves, and then turned away in dismay.

Since there is no way to go shopping, let's just walk around. Li Dongyu strolled aimlessly, muttering to himself: "I'm free anyway, so I might as well walk around and kill some time. It's better than going back to that messy house and looking at the mess and getting upset!" So he wandered aimlessly in the streets and alleys, enjoying this rare leisure time.
