Siheyuan: A Family of Loyal and Brave People

"You bastard, why didn't you tell me you were still in Forty-Nine City? Do you know how I've been living these past few months?!

It caused me to get divorced, it caused me to be kicked out of my home, it caused me…”

Sister Luo's incessant cursing completely extinguished the rekindled affection in Deputy Director Luo.

To this day, Sister Luo has not reflected on her mistakes and still puts the blame on others.

If you are so unrepentant, you are completely hopeless.

"enough!"

Deputy Director Luo interrupted my sister's complaint, took a deep breath, and said seriously: "This is all your own fault, what does it have to do with me?

You are impulsive, irritable, arrogant and domineering. You bully your brother-in-law at home and stir up trouble outside. When you encounter trouble, you ask for help from your grandparents and even ask me to take care of the funeral. How dare you scold me?

How come I have an elder sister like you?

Hey, let’s forget about the past.

You should never, ever, come to Cheng Hao's house to cause trouble today.

You ruined his son's full-moon party and completely pissed him off. No one can save you.

You're on your own."

Deputy Director Luo shook his head, stopped looking at the dazed Sister Luo, turned around and went back to the courtyard to continue attending the banquet.

Sister Luo looked at her brother's expressionless face, her heart suddenly tightened, her legs trembled, and she almost fell to the ground.

"Don't leave, you are not allowed to leave until you explain clearly.

Come back to me, come back to me..."

Sister Luo struggled forward and grabbed Deputy Director Luo's arm, as if she was grabbing the last straw.

However, this time, Deputy Director Luo did not indulge her. He struggled to break free, leaving Sister Luo on the spot, and walked into the yard.

From now on, all ties are severed and Deputy Director Luo will no longer be involved in anything concerning Sister Luo.

……

People who come from the military are always decisive and swift. After the full moon banquet, Cheng Hao immediately took revenge on Sister Luo.

As a decent person, Cheng Hao certainly would not, nor did he need to, directly use physical means to attack Sister Luo. He had more efficient ways.

Doesn’t Sister Luo want to find a job for her daughter?

Adhering to the purpose of serving the people, Cheng Hao decided to meet her needs.

One day after get off work, Cheng Hao rode his bike directly to Liu Daneng's house and knocked on the door of Sister Luo's ex-husband.

"Comrade, what do you want?"

The person who came out to open the door was a woman in her thirties, wearing a floral gown and with a plump figure, looking like a woman with a good childbearing potential.

"I'm Cheng Hao, the secretary of the subdistrict office. I'm here to talk to Liu Daneng about something."

Cheng Hao did not reveal the identity of the street office director to avoid arousing the other party's suspicion.

After all, it sounds unreal and hard to believe when a director suddenly comes to your house.

"Brother Da Neng is in the room. I'll go call him right away."

When the woman heard that it was the street office clerk, she turned around without hesitation and went back to the yard to call for help.

Before leaving, Cheng Hao checked Liu Daneng's marital status and found out that he had just remarried a month ago.

Seeing that Liu Daneng's wife had abundant capital, Cheng Hao knew that his plan was a sure thing.

After waiting for a while, shirtless Liu Daneng rushed over from the courtyard. The moment he saw Cheng Hao, he asked in surprise, "Director Cheng, why are you here?"

"Comrade Liu Daneng, I came here today to talk to you about Liu Fei."

Cheng Hao went straight to the point and directly introduced the protagonist.

"Liu Fei? What happened to her?"

Liu Daneng frowned and asked in confusion.

Since the divorce, Liu Daneng has focused all his attention on continuing the Liu family's bloodline and has not paid much attention to his ex-wife and daughter.

After all, I have already given away half of the family savings, what else do you want?

"It's like this, Liu Fei and Sister Luo haven't found a job yet, and they're a little tight financially lately.

Moreover, Liu Fei is not yet 18 years old this year and is a minor.

So a few days ago, Sister Luo went to the street office to inquire about child support."

Sister Luo did not mention anything about alimony to Cheng Hao, but according to the law, she can ask for alimony from her ex-husband, and this is not nonsense.

"Child support?!"

Liu Daneng exclaimed, frowning even deeper, and said indignantly: "Every brick and tile in the house was earned by me, and I gave her half of my savings. How dare she ask me for child support?

Also, didn’t Liu Fei go out to work?

What kind of support do you need for this?"

Since it was related to his own interests, Liu Daneng became anxious in an instant.

It cost a lot of money to remarry, and if I have a son in the future, there will definitely be a lot of expenses.

Liu Daneng wanted to leave as much money as possible to his son, but he was reluctant to waste resources on his useless daughter.

"Legally speaking, as long as Liu Fei is under the age of 18, she has the right to ask you for child support.

Besides, the mother and daughter have no income and their life is hard, shouldn't you take care of them?"

Seeing Liu Daneng's reluctant expression, Cheng Hao felt more confident.

As long as Liu Daneng is unwilling to pay, he can only accept the small proposal made by Cheng Hao.

"No, no, Director Cheng, they said during the divorce that they would live their own lives and have nothing to do with each other, how can they go back on their word?

Besides, I just got married and all my money is gone, so I really don’t have any money to give to them.”

Liu Daneng waved his hands, shook his head and sighed.

It’s not that Liu Daneng can’t afford the child support, but he is afraid of being dependent on Liu Fei and her daughter.

With Liu Fei's personality, she probably won't be able to find a decent job in her life. Does she really need Liu Daneng to support her for the rest of her life?

This is absolutely not possible.

From the beginning of the divorce, Liu Daneng decided to completely cut off ties with his ex-wife and daughter and live his own life.

“Alas, the root of the problem still lies with Liu Fei.

It's really outrageous that a grown man like him can't even hold down two jobs."

Liu Fei's first job was as a temporary worker in a street office, so Cheng Hao's exclamation was quite appropriate.

At the same time, it also aroused Liu Daneng's empathy and thinking.

"Director Cheng is right, this child is really outrageous.

How come you are so grown up and still can’t be independent? You still need your parents to support you.

Director, for the sake of her uncle, could you please think of a way to help her find a job?

I don’t ask for much, as long as I don’t starve to death.”

Liu Daneng said earnestly.

To this day, Liu Daneng increasingly regrets marrying Sister Luo, and also regrets giving birth to a useless person like Liu Fei.

I really wish I could stuff Liu Fei back into her mother's womb.

“It’s not that there aren’t jobs, they’re just not in the city.

Recently, a document was issued from above to encourage educated youth to settle down in local areas and work on various farms.

If Liu Fei agrees, I can arrange for her to be sent out."

After going around in circles, Cheng Hao finally stated his purpose.

The authorities have long been aware of the problem of excess labor in large cities, and have therefore advocated, since last year, the decentralization of urban youth to local grassroots levels to ease employment pressure in cities.

It’s just that life in big cities is so comfortable that not many people are willing to live a hard life outside.

"Okay, okay, our family firmly supports the above policy.

Director Cheng Hao, please help and arrange for Liu Fei to be released immediately."

When Liu Daneng heard that this could solve Liu Fei's problem, he agreed without thinking.

It would be better to kick Liu Fei out of this city.

Stay away and they won't bother Liu Daneng anymore.
