Siheyuan: The Counterattack of Passerby

But when thinking of the eldest brother Liu Guangqi, Liu Haizhong has always felt unhappy in the past two years. He admitted that he was not good to the second and third brothers, but he was really good to Liu Guangqi, right? The family had good food, drink and clothes, basically all of which were given to him, right? He never beat him since he was a child, right?

But he just couldn't understand why Liu Guangqi was so heartless. He secretly applied for a volunteer to support the Northwest as soon as he graduated, and ran away to the Northwest alone. It has been more than two years, and he has never written a letter to them until now. It was as if he was not their son and he just abandoned them and didn't care about them.

Liu Haizhong was puzzled. With his intelligence, he could not figure out why Liu Guangqi was so heartless to them. He did not realize at all where he was wrong. He did not realize that it was because of his deformed education method and unlimited favoritism that made Liu Guangqi extremely selfish. When he felt that he was dragged down by Liu Haizhong and his wife, his first thought was to stay away from them and never be dragged down by them again.

Eventually, this confusion gradually turned into deep hatred. They could no longer understand why Liu Guangqi was so confused. They could only conclude that Liu Guangqi was a born ungrateful person who had raised him up and abandoned them since they no longer needed him.

After Liu Haizhong recalled his three sons, he began to recall other things. How did he end up like this? In the past, he couldn't suppress Yi Zhonghai in the courtyard, but he was also a respected second uncle in the courtyard, right? How did he become a rat crossing the street that everyone wanted to beat?

It seems that the beginning of all his misfortunes now began with the attempt to rob Lin Geng's workstation! After that, he was first arrested by the police and almost sent to the northwest to eat sand. He finally used the relationship between the deaf old lady and Director Yang to rescue Yi Zhonghai and also rescued him. However, he paid Lin Geng 1,500 yuan, almost giving all the money saved in his family to Lin Geng.

This made him hate Lin Geng very much, and he began to fight with Lin Geng constantly, but he almost never won. His path became narrower and narrower, his situation became worse and worse, and he became more and more unlucky. Not only did his work level keep decreasing, but in the end he was even kicked out of the workshop and had to clean toilets.

Moreover, in the past two years, not only has his work not been going smoothly, he has also been unlucky. Being beaten by Lin Geng was one thing, and he finally thought he had caught Lin Geng's handle, so he called the security department to catch Lin Geng having an affair. However, who would have thought that not only did he fail to catch Lin Geng, but he kicked in the air, did the splits, and broke one of his balls on the spot.

Later, for unknown reasons, he was besieged by a group of stray dogs on the street and was almost bitten to death. The tendons in his right wrist were actually bitten off by the vicious dogs, leaving his right hand disabled and unable to even swing a sledgehammer.

After waiting for a long time for the situation at the steel mill to change, he spent a large sum of money under the guidance of others and got close to Li Huaide. Not long after he was full of vigor and vitality, he wanted to take revenge on Lin Geng and sent him from heaven to hell. Now one of his arms and two of his legs were brutally broken by Lin Geng, and he became a complete cripple from now on.

Liu Haizhong lay in bed, recalling what had happened over the years. The more he thought about it, the more boring life became. How were they going to survive in the future? He had no money, no job, and he was completely disabled, with only one good hand left. Even his three older children no longer recognized him as their father. This made Liu Haizhong feel like he was sinking into a dark abyss, with no light in sight.

Liu Haizhong just stared blankly, looking at the broken roof as if he had lost his soul, and lay there for a long time.

At this time, there was a commotion outside the door. Two women dragged several children and several men and rushed into his house. They pointed at Liu Haizhong lying on the bed and started cursing.

The people who came were the wives, children and relatives of the two men who Liu Haizhong had sent that day to take Lao Wu and others to identify people and follow Lin Geng out of the city.

These people broke into Liu Haizhong's house, and regardless of how miserable Liu Haizhong was, they started yelling at him, crying and begging him to return their men to them. They forced Liu Haizhong to tell them what they had sent their men to do that day, why their men disappeared out of the blue, and why the public security bureau accused them of fleeing for fear of crime.

They also did not believe a word of the Public Security Bureau's judgment, because they had never heard their men mention anything. They just got up early in the morning and went out, saying that they had something to do at the company, and they never saw any trace of them again.

The Public Security Bureau also said that the two of them left the city with a gang led by the gang leader Lao Wu and never came back. They also said that they had committed a crime and fled with Lao Wu and his gang. This seemed to make sense on the surface, but they didn't believe a word of it.

Especially the wife of one of the guys, she knew what kind of person her husband was. Although he was not a good guy, he didn't know the gang leader Lao Wu at all. Usually, he would just gamble and drink with them, or sneak around to find someone with a half-open door.

If he really did something bad, it was after Liu Haizhong pulled him into the factory revolutionary committee, and he followed Liu Haizhong to raid some people's homes, but that was done by Liu Haizhong and them. Even if he was guilty, it should be Liu Haizhong, the leader, who should take the blame. Why would his man flee for fear of crime? And he fled with a bunch of hooligans he didn't even know?

Therefore, she did not believe a single word of the report given to her family by the Public Security Bureau, and was sure that there must be something unspeakable behind this incident. The person she suspected the most was Liu Haizhong, because her husband was following Liu Haizhong, and during this period he had been following Liu Haizhong's lead and treating his orders as imperial decrees.

So she firmly believed that Liu Haizhong must have sent her man to do something with Lao Wu's gang of thugs that day, but she didn't know what went wrong that led to their disappearance.

Now they suspected that Liu Haizhong had sent their men to do something shady, and that something unexpected might have happened to them, and that the men might be dead now, but Liu Haizhong refused to tell the truth.

Now their man's life or death is unknown. He disappeared inexplicably and was charged with fleeing the crime. The steel mill also fired them and took back their work positions. For both families, the sky has fallen.

Now that they could not beg for mercy from the leaders of the steel rolling mill, they could only come to Liu Haizhong again and force him to tell them what he had sent their men to do that day and why their men never came back and were nowhere to be found alive or dead.

Liu Haizhong had a lot of grievances. He really wanted to tell these people that they had gone to cause trouble for Lin Geng that day as instructed by him, and it was very likely that they did not kill Lin Geng outside the city, but were killed by Lin Geng instead. He asked them to go find Lin Geng.
