Siheyuan: A Family of Loyal and Brave People

The lights were just coming on, and the early spring evening was still a little chilly. Deputy Director Luo, wearing a coat, walked towards the eldest sister's house with firm steps.

Normally, Deputy Director Luo avoids my elder sister.

He should be thankful that Sister Luo didn't come to cause trouble for him, let alone visit him.

Now that Deputy Director Luo has been forced into a desperate situation, he can only bite the bullet and confront Sister Luo.

After passing through the quiet alley and arriving at the gate of a house at the end of a narrow lane, Deputy Director Luo took a few deep breaths, calmed himself down, and then raised his hand to knock on the door.

Accompanied by the sound of "dong dong" knocks on the door, there was soon movement in the yard.

"Who?"

The door opened and a powerful and deep voice came from inside.

When he heard that it was not the eldest sister's voice, Deputy Director Luo was obviously relieved.

The tall man who came out to open the door saw Deputy Director Luo's face clearly with the weak light from inside the house and said excitedly, "My son's uncle, why are you here?"

"Brother-in-law, is my elder sister home?

I have something to tell her."

Deputy Director Luo smiled slightly and stated his purpose.

"Your sister is in the inner room, come in quickly, and we can talk slowly if you have anything to say."

Liu Daneng welcomed Deputy Director Luo into the courtyard. As soon as he closed the door, he lowered his head and reminded her softly, "She is angry about Fei'er's matter. You should be careful."

Sister Luo's ferocity was well-known far and wide. Not only her younger brother, but also her husband Liu Daneng had suffered from bullying.

From a certain perspective, the two are a pair of brothers in distress.

"Brother-in-law, I understand."

"Okay, I'll go cook.

Stay for dinner later, and don't run away."

Sister Luo has been making a lot of trouble at home in recent days, and Liu Daneng is worried that no one has to share the blame.

Now that my brother-in-law is here, I can’t let him go easily.

"Well, I see."

Deputy Director Luo nodded slightly. There was no way to avoid what happened today and it had to be dealt with head on.

……

"Why are you here? How dare you come to my house? I went to the steel mill this afternoon and was kicked out. Did you know that?!"

As soon as Deputy Director Luo entered the room, he was questioned by the eldest sister.

What happened during the day was a big blow to Sister Luo, and she became increasingly dissatisfied with her brother.

If Deputy Director Luo was capable, Director Yang would not dare to be so perfunctory.

All of this is due to Deputy Director Luo's incompetence.

Faced with the chattering elder sister, Deputy Director Luo just lowered his head and remained silent.

It was not until Sister Luo's scolding subsided that he sighed and said, "Sister, can you please stop making trouble?"

This simple sentence was like pouring oil on a burning firewood. The anger of Sister Luo, who had calmed down a little, was instantly ignited. She stepped forward and grabbed Deputy Director Luo by the collar, staring at him fiercely and said, "What did you say?! Stop it? Am I the one making trouble again? It's obvious that they are bullying us, mother and daughter.

You are such a traitor, how can you speak for outsiders..."

With spit spraying on his face, Deputy Director Luo pursed his lips, trying to stay calm, and continued, "Sister, please stop making trouble. If you continue, I really can't stand it anymore."

"What do you mean, you want to let go?

I tell you, as long as I am alive, I will be your sister.

I still don’t believe I can’t cure you!”

Angry Sister Luo raised her hand to grab Deputy Director Luo's ear.

In the past, Deputy Director Luo would have probably surrendered and begged for mercy, but this time he simply slapped away the claw that Sister Luo extended to him.

"How dare you fight me? You're a rebel!"

This action made Sister Luo even more angry, and she was about to slap Deputy Director Luo.

But just as his hand was halfway extended, it was blocked again by Deputy Director Luo.

"enough!"

Deputy Director Luo grabbed the eldest sister's hand, his chest heaving, and he gasped and shouted.

The emotions that had been accumulated in my heart for many years could no longer be suppressed and burst out.

“I’ve had enough!

You have bullied me since I was a child. Now that I have grown up and become the deputy director of the subdistrict office, you still beat me. I have really had enough!

You stupid woman with no brains, don’t you know the good things you have done?

After causing trouble at the Street Office, you are going to cause trouble at the steel mill. Where else are you going to cause trouble next? Are you not satisfied until you have offended everyone?

Now everyone in the subdistrict office is very dissatisfied with me. If you continue to make trouble, my position as deputy director of the subdistrict office will be over.

Big sister, please help me.

Stop making trouble.

Making a fuss won’t solve the problem.”

Pouring out all the grievances in his heart, Deputy Director Luo almost finished his words in tears.

“Okay, okay, okay.

You are really great. For the sake of your official position, you even ignore your own sister and niece.

Well, now you've grown up and become stronger, and I can't control you anymore.

In this case, let’s break off the relationship.

From now on, I don’t have you as my brother anymore. You go your way, I go mine, and we’ll never see each other again until we die!”

Instead of understanding Deputy Director Luo's good intentions, Sister Luo kept complaining.

"Miss..."

Deputy Director Luo held Sister Luo's hand tightly, gritted his teeth, and his heart was filled with sorrow.

"How can you say such angry words..."

He is really unlucky to have such an unreasonable and selfish sister.

I really don't know how she has the nerve to say such hurtful words.

If Deputy Director Luo really didn't care about the lives of his relatives, he would have an easy life. It is precisely because he cares about family ties that he is repeatedly implicated and suffers.

Sister Luo didn't even think about the fact that if it weren't for Deputy Director Luo's efforts, Liu Fei wouldn't have been able to get into the street office or the steel mill.

I'm afraid that with Liu Fei's ability, he can't even get through the door.

“Hey, whatever.

Since you think that I disregard family affection for the sake of being an official.

Then I will resign from my position as deputy director of the subdistrict office, that should be all right, right? "

Deputy Director Luo made up his mind today that he would resign if he couldn't deal with Sister Luo.

With his many years of experience in officialdom, even if he could not be a cadre in the inner city, he would have no problem being transferred to other places to be a cadre.

Away from the old city and away from Sister Luo's oppression, he can have more peace and quiet.

“What are you talking about.

I have finally become a street office cadre, how can I just quit my job?

If you quit, what will happen to Liu Fei's job?"

Until this point, Sister Luo was still concerned about her daughter's job and didn't care about her brother's life or death at all.

Deputy Director Luo was completely disheartened and decided not to waste any more time talking. He said directly, "I will go to the subdistrict office to resign tomorrow. I can't do anything about Liu Fei's matter. You guys figure it out on your own."

After saying this, without paying any more attention to the indignant elder sister, Deputy Director Luo turned around and left with a dejected face.

"Stop, stop right there, and explain yourself before you leave.

What do you mean by find a way yourself? She is not your niece... Don't leave..."

Deputy Director Luo walked outside, and Liu Daneng hurried over to ask, "What's going on? Is there anything we can discuss? Why are you so angry?"

"Brother-in-law, I have something else to do, so I won't stay for dinner.

take care. "

Deputy Director Luo patted Liu Daneng on the shoulder, gave him a look that told him to wish him good luck, and left sadly.

"Don't go, my meal is almost ready, eat a few bites before going back."
