Siheyuan: I am the Smart Pillar

After Director Wang reprimanded Liu Gen, she left the courtyard that she hated. She felt that this courtyard was good before, but it became worse and worse after the last incident at the Jia family. Oh, it shouldn't be that after that old man Jia Zhang went to jail, the originally peaceful courtyard has been plagued by endless troubles.

When Liu Gener heard Director Wang mention his grandfather, the expression on his face was very bad. Others could feel that Liu Gener was in a very bad mood. Liu Gener sighed, and went home with his hands behind his back with a very lonely look. Does anyone still remember his grandfather now? Qin Huairu, the newly married daughter-in-law, was a little curious, so she asked Yang Ruihua beside her.

Yang Ruihua shook his head. He really didn't know about Liugen's grandfather. Yang Ruihua smiled bitterly and said, "We moved here the year the Japanese devils were driven out. Who is Liugen's grandfather? We really don't know." An older Aunt Liu who was chatting with Qin Huairu said, "I know this. Liugen's grandfather is a very remarkable person."

Aunt Liu's words brought us back to more than 20 years ago. Liu Gen's grandfather's name was Zhang Banshan. In his early years, he followed a wandering Taoist to learn martial arts. In the small area of ​​​​Sijiu City, he made a great name for himself. He was very generous and righteous, and he loved to help the weak. What he liked most was to rob the rich and help the poor. The old people in Sijiu Chi usually called him Liangshan Hero.

Zhang Banshan's ancestors were bannermen of the Qing Dynasty, and of course they were Han Chinese who joined the banner. After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, they simply changed their surname back to Zhang. At that time, the Japanese invaded the city of Beijing, and they bullied us Chinese whenever they wanted. At that time, the Japanese bullied the Chinese for no reason.

Aunt Liu sighed, thought for a moment and said, "I remember it was one evening, a group of Japanese came out of a restaurant drunk, and when they came out they ran into a little girl who was selling vegetables in the city. The bastards wanted to rape the little girl, but Liu Gen'er's grandfather quickly dealt with the bastards. But even though they dealt with the bastards, they caused a lot of trouble."

"The Japanese hunted down Liugen's grandfather in the city like crazy, and tortured many people into confessing. Liugen's grandfather felt sorry for these innocent people, so he simply turned himself in. The Japanese didn't believe that Liugen's grandfather killed all these people alone, so they wanted Liugen's grandfather to reveal his accomplices. Liugen's grandfather was a man of integrity, so he didn't want to involve others and would rather die by saying that he was alone."

When she talked about this, Aunt Liu's eyes were already full of tears. At that time, Aunt Liu was still young, and Grandpa Liugen was very kind to Aunt Liu. She wiped the tears from her eyes, shook her head helplessly and said, "At that time, the Japanese had no way to implicate other people. In fact, the Japanese wanted Grandpa Liugen to implicate a group of businessmen, so that they could have an excuse to get all the money from those people for him."

"But this man was truly a hero. He would rather die than implicate anyone else. I remember it was three months before the Japanese surrender. Liu Gen's grandfather was taken to Caishikou for execution. The Japanese were so heartless at the time that they found a few executioners from the Qing dynasty who used the torture of lingchi to shave Liu Gen's grandfather to death."

Qin Huairu asked curiously, "What about his father?" Aunt Liu said with disgust, "Oh, my Uncle Zhang, he was a hero all his life, but I didn't expect he gave birth to such a coward. Liu Gen's father is a complete traitor. I remember that when the Japanese devils first entered Beijing, that bastard became a traitor. My Uncle Zhang was so angry at that time that he wanted to find an opportunity to kill him."

"Later, my Uncle Zhang was killing Japanese in the capital, so Japanese wanted posters were posted everywhere. The Japanese were also very protective of Uncle Zhang's son, so Uncle Zhang failed to kill him. Alas, I never thought that Uncle Zhang, such a good man, would have such a beastly son. After the Japanese surrendered, the government at the time would definitely settle accounts with the traitors."

"Originally, they wanted to execute Liu Gen as well, but the people who had received favors from Uncle Zhang pleaded for mercy, and the government also felt that they had to leave a root for such an anti-Japanese hero, so Liu Gen was not shot. Liu Gen's family was quite wealthy at the time, and I don't know if this guy had the ability to predict the future, but before liberation, he became addicted to gambling and lost all their houses and properties, leaving only these two ancestral homes."

Qin Huairu nodded, not expecting such a complicated relationship. Yang Ruihua thought about it. Although Liu Gener was the son of an anti-Japanese hero, he was also the son of a traitor. The son of a traitor must be settled. If Liu Gener was driven out, wouldn't his two rooms be redistributed?

But Yang Ruihua felt that if he could figure out what he could, other people should be able to figure it out too! He didn't believe that the only people staring at Liu Gen'er's house were from his family. After thinking for a while, he asked, "Why don't we report it to the higher authorities? He is the son of a traitor after all." Yang Ruihua only knew about the relationship of Liu Gen'er's family now. In the past, he thought Liu Gen was a complete prodigal son and didn't pay any extra attention to him. He didn't expect there was such a trick, and Yang Ruihua felt that it was profitable.

The other auntie, Liu Haizhong's wife, smiled bitterly and said, "Third auntie, do you think no one has reported this? Mr. Zhang saved a lot of people in the past, and there are many people in this city who speak for their family. Otherwise, Sixth Brother's mother would have been kicked out long ago. If his father hadn't been a traitor, this kid would have definitely been very successful."

Yang Ruihua felt a little sorry. Now he really understood the truth that his wife often said, that the predecessors planted trees and the descendants enjoyed the shade. If the elders did more good things, they would pass on the blessings to their descendants. Yang Ruihua shook her head helplessly. She was just wondering why Director Wang, who was always stern and impartial, didn't arrest Liu Gen. She didn't expect that such a thing would happen.
