Siheyuan: Struggle in the Red Era

Lin Baoyan didn't expect that before she could go and cause trouble for Mrs. Liu, her family came to her house early in the morning.

It was not even seven o'clock when noisy sounds were heard outside the courtyard gate.

"It's right here. Look, the door is still closed and everyone is home."

"Hurry up and knock on the door. This bitch is still not up at this hour. When we get married, I have to set some rules for her. What kind of wife is so lazy?"

"Bang bang bang~~"

The door was banged hard, and the sound could be heard clearly from far away. The neighbors nearby came to watch the fun.

Li Xia and several colleagues had been investigating the situation all night. They had just laid down their eyes early in the morning, so it was a bit late for them to arrive. They had a hard time squeezing into the crowd of people watching the excitement.

Li Xia stopped the leader, Mrs. Liu, in annoyance: "Mrs. Liu, what are you doing? Stop it!" The colleagues took action secretly, grabbed the man who was knocking on the door, and blocked the other men of the Liu family. Finally, there was no more noise outside the courtyard gate for the time being.

Granny Liu pushed Li Xia in annoyance and said with a squint, "We are looking for Li Xiang, what does it have to do with you? You are really meddling in other people's business."

He then called for people to continue knocking on the door.

Lin Baoyan, who had been standing at the door and heard the whole story, climbed up a few steps on the ladder, half exposed her body and shouted outside: "You old woman, I told you yesterday that I don't know you. Why did you come to me today? Do you want to apologize to me? You are making such a big fuss, I can't stand it."

Everyone looked up in the direction of the voice and saw Lin Baoyan half-lying on the wall shouting outside. They all laughed and thought it was no wonder that this girl was able to get into university. Her cleverness was different. Knowing that they couldn't open the door at this time, they climbed up the ladder and shouted.

Some people who didn't know the consequences of the situation shouted after hearing what the Liu family said, "Li Xiang, someone from your in-laws' family is coming. Hurry up and open the door and let them in."

Those who knew what was going on immediately said, "What are you talking about? Li Xiang is an innocent girl, how come you say she has a husband?"

"No, the one who knocked on the door said it was my wife. I didn't say anything nonsense."

"The one knocking on the door can't be talking nonsense. If someone else is talking nonsense, you can't just follow suit and talk nonsense."

Li Xia was really so angry that she almost died. Liu Po's family was so disgusting that they actually did such a thing.

She pulled Granny Liu's arm and yelled, "Granny Liu, you think that no one knows what you did, right? Li Xiang made it very clear yesterday that she doesn't know you at all and doesn't want to meet your worthless nephew. She wants to go to college. Do you understand what college is? What do you want to do by bringing so many people here today? Do you want to forcibly snatch someone in broad daylight? This is illegal, don't you know?"

The sister-in-law pushed Li Xia hard, cursing: "Who are you? It's none of your business if we go to find Li Xiang. Besides, we are here to get married, so why are we breaking the law? Pah."

He turned around and shouted to Lin Baoyan on the courtyard wall: "Li Xiang, open the door quickly. It is your blessing that my son likes you. How dare you disagree? You are really rebellious."

Li Xia gritted her teeth and swung her arms hard, throwing her sister-in-law away and falling towards Mrs. Liu. Mrs. Liu, who was already unable to stand steadily due to Li Xia's pulling, was knocked backwards by this force.

Fortunately, there were many people here, and when the two of them fell, they were supported by the people behind them.

The two were so angry that they rolled up their sleeves and were about to quarrel with Li Xia. The son-in-law, who had been silent, reached out and grabbed the sister-in-law, and pointed his head towards the courtyard wall to indicate that it was more important to get down to business.

However, the words that the sister-in-law scolded Li Xiang had been heard by the onlookers, and someone immediately shouted: "What kind of a thing is your son? You are so lucky. Li Xiang is unlucky to be favored by people like you."

"That's right. Li Xiang is so unlucky that he encountered such disgusting things right after the college entrance examination."

"What the hell is this? Why did they target Li Xiang? This kid is so unlucky."

Granny Liu didn't care about Lin Baoyan. She put her hands on her hips and started to curse at the gossipers: "What are you talking about? If you have the guts, come out and argue with me face to face. You bastards who dare not show up, I'll cross you and circle you."

Lin Baoyan leaned against the wall, looking at the chaotic noise outside. She didn't know why she was so angry. When dealing with someone who couldn't understand what others were saying, the best way was to pour a basin of cold water on him to calm him down.

She quickly climbed down the ladder, picked up a basin of cold water and climbed up again. Seeing Li Xia and others mingling with the Liu family outside the yard, she quickly gestured to Li Xia with the basin of water at hand.

Li Xia swallowed her saliva and quickly retreated with her colleagues. The area outside the courtyard gate was empty, and only Liu Pozi and her family were left, standing with their hands on their hips and arguing with the onlookers.

Suddenly, a large basin of cold water poured down from above, immediately soaking the quarreling sister-in-law and sister-in-law like drowned rats. The quarreling stopped for a moment.

Lin Baoyan said coldly: "Now you can speak human language, right?"

Granny Liu pointed at Lin Baoyan on the wall with a shaking hand and said, "You, you bitch, how dare you splash water on me! I'm your aunt!"

Lin Baoyan didn't respond at all, but shouted to the crowd outside: "Dear neighbors, uncles and aunts, I, Li Xiang, thank you all for speaking out for justice. I don't know this family at all, and I don't know if they were bitten by a dog. They suddenly ran to my door and started barking, disturbing everyone. Please help me go to the nearby police station and call the police, saying that there are robbers trying to break into the house and rob."

As soon as she finished speaking, a colleague ran away quickly.

Others were surprised.

"Call the police!"

"Burglary!"

"If this crime is proven, you will go to jail."

"This girl is really ruthless, no wonder she was able to get into college."

Liu Pozi's family was also stunned. My uncle didn't dare to hide anymore. He stood up and said, "Girl, I know you've been admitted to university now, and you're not satisfied with the amount of the betrothal gift my family proposed before, but we can still discuss this slowly. There's really no need to accuse our family of such a serious crime all at once."

Li Xia immediately spoke up: "I've told you many times that Li Xiang doesn't even know your family. She has never agreed to meet your son. How could she possibly ask for a betrothal gift if they haven't even met? If you want to slander someone, don't just make up a lie that everyone knows."

Aunt Fang squeezed in and testified, "Mrs. Liu was talking nonsense yesterday, but Li Xiang clarified it at the time. She didn't know your family at all. Your family is really thick-skinned. How could they lie like this?"

Aunt Hu also testified: "Yes, everything you said is false, you are all lying."

"Does this mean they are trying to rob a house?" someone suddenly asked.

"No, they are all at the door and haven't entered the house."

"They didn't steal anything. If they didn't steal anything, it can't be considered robbery."

"They are trying to snatch Li Xiang, right? Is Li Xiang a thing?"

"Haha, haha, count it, count it."

Li Xiang almost couldn't help rolling his eyes.
