Siheyuan: I am the Smart Pillar

Liu Haizhong and his son returned home. Liu Haizhong's wife Wu Cuimei came over and asked, "Did Sha Zhu agree?" Liu Haizhong slapped the table and said, "This bastard, he didn't even help. How dare he? I'm the second uncle in charge of this courtyard! This Sha Zhu, this idiot! He embarrassed me in front of so many neighbors in the courtyard. I, Liu Haizhong, will never let him go."

Wu Cuimei also said with a very unhappy face, "Our family didn't ask his master to help for nothing. Who in the whole capital can afford 50 yuan for help? This idiot Zhu, can't he even say a word?" Liu Guangqi sat aside and clenched his fist and said, "This beast is really a little loser. Mom and Dad, I have already promised Lili that if our family doesn't invite Master Mo Xiangtian over, my father-in-law and mother-in-law will definitely be unhappy."

Liu Haizhong shook his fat face and said, "Forget it. I'll go to Meizhaha Hutong myself tomorrow and ask." Wu Cuimei nodded and said, "If it doesn't work, we'll pay 100 yuan. I don't believe that Master Mo Xiangtian won't be tempted."

Liu Haizhong thought about it. Although he felt sorry for the 100 yuan, he accepted it for the sake of his promising eldest son. The autumn rain fell silently, and it was so desolate and helpless. Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu ran in in the rain. When Liu Haizhong saw his two sons, he was furious.

He untied his belt. He was a very irritable person. He was very angry with He Yuzhu today, so he had to vent his anger on someone. He said with a dark face, "Where have you two bastards been? I have to teach you a lesson today."

Liu Guangtian quickly explained, "Dad, we stayed behind in school today to do our duty, you can't hit us!" Liu Haizhong snorted and said, "As a father, I can't hit you. Today I have to teach you two bastards a lesson and let you know why the flowers are so red."

Liu Haizhong didn't listen to his two sons' explanations at all, and hit them with a belt. The belt hit Liu Guangtian's body, and Liu Guangtian gasped in pain. He wanted his mother and elder brother to beg for mercy, but his mother and elder brother just looked at him coldly. Liu Guangtian risked his life to protect his third brother, and a trace of resentment slowly gathered in his eyes.

The three brothers are all Liu Haizhong's sons, why do he and his third brother always suffer unfair treatment. Liu Guangtian was so angry that he grabbed Liu Haizhong's belt and said, "We three brothers are all your sons, why do you treat us differently? Guangfu and I were all beaten by you when we were young, but why is he Liu Guangqi?"

Before he finished asking the question, Liu Haizhong kicked Liu Guangtian in the heart. Liu Guangtian fell flat on his face. Liu Haizhong was a blacksmith in the steel mill, so he was naturally very strong. Hearing that his son dared to refute him, Liu Haizhong grabbed Liu Guangtian by the collar and slapped him hard on the face.

Liu Guangqi also added fuel to the fire. Although he knew that his father was good to him, wasn't it right for a father to be good to him? Liu Guangqi was born to enjoy a good life, so why should he be treated the same as the second and third sons? Liu Guangqi was still very resentful in his heart. He resented that the second and third sons wanted to take half of his property.

Liu Guangqi said at the side, "Dad, the second child is really too much. He actually talked back to you. Dad, you have to teach him a lesson, otherwise he won't know what respect for the elders and the young is." Wu Cuihua also nodded and said, "The eldest child is right. He deserves to be the most capable one in our family. The second child is really too much. The old man should teach him a lesson."

Listening to his mother and eldest brother's words, Liu Guangtian was really angry. He looked at Liu Guangqi with a pair of resentful eyes, and Liu Guangqi naturally saw it. He could feel the resentment of his second and third brothers towards him, so what? He had already made up his mind to leave this place after getting married with his wife. If the two of them resented him, let them resent him.

He Yuzhu was just about to take a rest with Qin Huairu in the middle courtyard when he heard the sound of Liu Haizhong beating his son in the backyard. The miserable cries of Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu frightened Qin Huairu. He Yushui in the next room ran over in fear. He Yushui said tremblingly, "This second uncle started beating his son again. It's so scary."

Qin Huairu nodded and said, "There are people in our Qinjiazhuang who teach their sons a lesson, but never like this. Is this teaching their own son a lesson? Why do I feel like this is beating up one's enemy?" He Yuzhu said with a smile, "You are right. Among the three sons in Liu Hai's family, only the eldest son seems to be his biological son. All the delicious food and drinks belong to the eldest son."

"The second and third sons seem to be adopted. They are either beaten or scolded every day. Old Lady Long in the backyard once said that if parents are not kind, their children will be unfilial. If he treats his sons like this, his sons will definitely resent him in the future."

Qin Huairu hugged He Yushui and asked, "This is impossible! Doesn't he love his eldest son very much? When Liu Haizhong and his wife get old, will their eldest son still care about them?" He Yuzhu just smiled awkwardly and said, "Just wait and see, his eldest son is not a good guy either." He Yuzhu knew very well that Liu Guangqi was an ungrateful person. After getting married, he would roll up his family assets and go to other places with his wife.

Qin Huairu couldn't sleep now, He Yuzhu pulled Qin Huairu and said, "Liu Haizhong won't stop for a while, let's go to the backyard to see the excitement." Qin Huairu nodded, now she couldn't sleep either, so she followed her husband to the backyard to see the excitement. The couple walked to the backyard, where many people had already gathered.

Xu Damao came over with a smile and said, "Oh, you two are here to watch the fun." He Yuzhu yawned and said, "Yeah, the brothers are shouting so loudly that we can hear them in the middle courtyard. I really want to sleep, but I can't. What did these two guys get beaten for today? They were beaten so badly!"
