When the neighbors in the front courtyard heard the noise, they all rushed to the backyard. Curiosity was part of the reason, but most of them probably wanted to watch the excitement.
Before Liu Haizhong was imprisoned, the reputation of the Liu family in the courtyard was not good. After Liu Haizhong was imprisoned, many people did not say anything openly, but in fact they still had a respectful attitude towards the Liu family in their hearts, and even worse.
, also felt that Liu Haizhong was to blame, and clapped his hands and applauded.
"You traitor, you traitor, you can beat me too, beat me to death too..."
As soon as Zhou Chen followed everyone to the backyard, he heard the miserable and desperate screams of the second aunt, and the persuasive voices of several women.
At the door of Liu's house, I saw the second aunt slumped on the ground, her hair disheveled, rolling around, not caring about her image.
Standing at the door were the two sons of the Liu family, Liu Guangtian brothers. These two brothers were not good-looking either. Liu Guangtian's clothes were torn, and the third brother had blood dripping from his head.
As for Liu Haizhong, I didn't see it, but there were sounds in the room. It must be that Liu Haizhong felt embarrassed and didn't want to come out. But looking at the appearance of his two sons and the crying of the second aunt, I'm afraid he won't be any better.
go.
Yanbu Gui looked at this scene with sadness and sighed: "This old Liu has suffered all his life and is approaching old age, but he has ended up like this."
Zhou Chen glanced at him and thought: You won't be any better than him in the future.
"I beat my son when he was young, and he beat me when he was old. It's a bit excessive to say that the reincarnation of heaven is a bit excessive, but the root cause still lies with himself."
No matter what era you are in, it seems natural for me to spank my son, but in fact, spanking is okay, but it depends on the situation.
Like Liu Haizhong, who beats him whenever he wants, and even beats him to death. If you do this to all the children, that's fine. But Liu Haizhong doesn't hit his eldest son, but only his second son and younger son. This is a problem.
Already.
A filial son emerges from under a stick. This depends on the situation.
Although there are all kinds of messy things in the courtyard, there are really very few father-son fights like the Liu family.
Some people came over to persuade me, while others watched the excitement.
He Yuzhu is a person who likes to join in the fun. He does things based on his own preferences. When he saw the two sons of the Liu family beating me, he couldn't stand it anymore.
He pushed away the crowd, walked over, pointed at the Liu Guangtian brothers and cursed: "Liu Guangtian, Liu Guangdang, you two are still not human beings. That is your father. You beat me, and you beasts still recognize your parents."
, you are worse than animals."
In normal times, the two brothers might still be wary of He Yuzhu due to his strength, but now they are only angry and of course they will not be polite to He Yuzhu.
"Si Zhu, this is our family's business. Do you want an outsider to take care of it?"
"That's right, Silly Zhu, it's not your turn to take care of our family's affairs. It's up to you to take care of your three cheap sons and daughters. Why are we pretending to be filial sons?"
How could He Yuzhu withstand such scolding? He immediately became angry.
"Liu Guangtian, Liu Guangdang, it seems that I haven't dealt with you for a long time, right? If you dare to be so arrogant like me, come on, you two brothers come together, I will deal with you properly today for you."
Liu Guangtian scolded: "Silly Zhu, who do you think you are? Why are you so arrogant with us here? Are you good at fighting? If you have the ability, go and fight Zhou Chen. Do you dare?"
Immediately, countless eyes fell on the faces of He Yuzhu and Zhou Chen, and He Yuzhu's face instantly darkened.
Zhou Chen was also stunned. I just came to join in the fun and didn't say a word. Why did you blame me?
Seeing that He Yuzhu was about to lose his temper, Qin Huairu hurriedly stepped forward, and Yi Zhonghai also shouted: "Zhuzhu, stop talking, Qin Huairu, watch him."
Qin Huairu immediately said: "I know, sir."
Although He Yuzhu was furious, he still followed Qin Huairu's tactics. After being persuaded by Qin Huairu, he stopped confronting the Liu brothers.
Yi Zhonghai called Yan Bugui and went into the house to find Liu Haizhong. Several women also helped the second aunt, while Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangdang left angrily.
Over the years, the Liu family has become a joke in the courtyard. Ever since Liu Haizhong was imprisoned, the Liu family has been uneasy, and it has become even less peaceful after Liu Haizhong was released from prison.
It's good now that I started fighting with my son and was beaten by my two sons. I was really embarrassed and humiliated.
The second aunt has suffered too many glares over the years, so she no longer cares about it, but Liu Haizhong still can't accept this kind of blow.
From that year to now, all he has suffered is embarrassment and pain.
After being imprisoned and losing his job, he could only sweep the streets. Now he can't even control his own children at home and is beaten by his son.
Looking at the entire No. 95 Courtyard, and even the entire Nanluogu Alley, it is estimated that no old man can be found who is more miserable than him.
The second aunt was still crying loudly, venting her grievances over the years, and everyone around her remained silent because most of what she said was true.
Zhou Chen didn't stay long. After watching for a while, he left. He didn't go back to Yan's house and went straight back to his own home.
…………
Qianmen Railway Station is also the old Capital Station. Later, during the Capital War, Zhou Chen came here today to pick up people.
At around one o'clock in the afternoon, he finally waited for the person he wanted to pick up, a pretty woman standing in front of him with a happy smile.
After not seeing each other for two years, Chen Lin has changed a lot, especially her temperament, which is completely different from when we parted ways eight years ago. She showed decadence back then, but now she is confident.
Eight years later, Chen Lin's father finally recovered and the Chen family rose again from its previous decline. Chen Lin was transferred back to the capital from the farm.
For eight years, they wrote to each other and never stopped. Zhou Chen visited her five times and brought her a lot of things each time. It is no exaggeration to say that she was able to persevere except for her own willpower.
In addition, it has something to do with Zhou Chen's encouragement.
Looking at Zhou Chen, Chen Lin had a thousand words to say, but in the end she just said one sentence.
"I'm back."
Zhou Chen smiled and said: "Welcome back."
The two looked at each other and smiled, Zhou Chen took the luggage from her hand and took her out of the train station.
Chen Lin followed Zhou Chen to a motorcycle and asked in surprise: "Motorcycle, yours?"
Zhou Chen smiled slightly and said: "Well, I bought it from someone else. I just arrived and I just rode it. You will be the first person I take."
"Then wouldn't it be a great honor for me?" Chen Lin smiled sweetly, obviously very pleased with it.
Zhou Chen first put his luggage behind and tied it up, and then got in the car. Chen Lin did not shy away from it and naturally sat behind Zhou Chen and held Zhou Chen's shoulders with both hands.
"Don't be nervous, I won't drive too fast."
"I'm not nervous, I just haven't ridden a motorcycle in the city before."
"Then let me give you a try today. Should we go to dinner first, or send you to the unit to settle in?"
"When I came back this time, I was assigned to the Civil Affairs Bureau. You send me there first, and I'll take my luggage to the dormitory. After I've settled in, we'll go have dinner."
She used to work in a supply and marketing cooperative, but this time her father came back to power, and she was taken care of and was assigned to the Civil Affairs Bureau. Although the position was not high, it was not bad.
In fact, given her qualifications, she originally had other options, but she insisted on returning to the capital, so she was assigned to the Civil Affairs Bureau.
"No problem. If you are transferred to the Civil Affairs Bureau, wouldn't it be much more convenient for us to get a marriage certificate in the future?"
"Yes, yes, everything you say is right."
Chen Lin didn't feel shy, because she felt that their marriage was natural and there was no need to be shy or embarrassed.
Zhou Chen sent Chen Lin to the dormitory of the Civil Affairs Bureau, and then helped her clean up the room, while Chen Lin went to apply for employment. They were busy until after six o'clock, when they had time to rest.
Although Chen Lin was a little tired, her mood was still very high. She asked Zhou Chen to drive her to the barbecue season, and she invited Zhou Chen to dinner.
"You took care of me in the past few years, so I must treat you to this meal today." Chen Lin said in a tone that she could not refuse.
Zhou Chen responded with a smile: "Okay, then I will eat it today."
"Then open it and eat. When my dormitory is ready, I will cook for you in the dormitory."
"Um."
When they met again, although the two did not say any sweet words, they were not unfamiliar at all. After eight years of hardship and eight years of waiting, even though they had not yet received a marriage certificate, Chen Lin had already regarded Zhou Chen as her man.
After two hours of eating, it was already dark. Zhou Chen took Chen Lin for a walk and then sent her back to the dormitory.
"I may be busy in the next few days. When I'm done, I'll find you."
"Then you should know where I live."
"Of course, I often write to you, Nanluogu Lane, No. 95 Courtyard."
Zhou Chen waved to Chen Lin and then drove away on his motorcycle.
Although it was already ten o'clock when Zhou Chen returned to the courtyard, and although the sound of the motorcycle was loud, it did not attract anyone to watch.
Although there is a large open space at the entrance of the courtyard, Zhou Chen never thought of putting his motorcycle outside. If he left it outside tonight, he might be missing his arms and legs tomorrow morning.
In a society where cameras will be everywhere in a few decades, petty theft will become inevitable, let alone an era like today where there are no cameras at all.
