Siheyuan: Start with a Truck Driver

Chapter 1087: Banggeng was beaten

Although Bang Geng was filled with fear, he was unwilling to be taught a lesson. He pretended to be calm and tried to straighten his chest, trying to make himself look braver. He shouted, "Who are you? Why do you care about my business?"

Liu Tiezhu sneered, and the sound was like a roar from the depths of hell, making people shudder. He said, "I am Yan Jiecheng's friend, and I am here to teach you a lesson. If you know what's good for you, apologize to Yan Jiecheng immediately and don't provoke him again."

Bang Geng was furious when he heard this. He felt that he couldn't just give in like this, and he had to fight for his dignity. He said, "I won't apologize, what can you do to me?"

Seeing that Bang Geng was so stubborn, Liu Tiezhu stopped talking and directly raised his fist to hit Bang Geng. His fist was like a huge stone, with a whistling sound, it hit Bang Geng swiftly.

Bang Geng quickly dodged to the side, but Liu Tiezhu's fist was so fast that it still hit him in the face. Bang Geng felt a burning pain on his face, as if it was burned by fire. He became even more angry and decided to fight back.

Not willing to be outdone, he immediately punched back.

Although Bang Geng's fists were not as powerful as Liu Tiezhu's, he nimbly dodged Liu Tiezhu's attacks and occasionally fought back. The two men engaged in a fierce fight in the alley.

Relying on his strength advantage, Liu Tiezhu continuously attacked Bang Geng.

Each of his punches was powerful, as if it could destroy everything. His punches fell on Bang Geng like raindrops, making it difficult for Bang Geng to resist. Bang Geng used his agility to dodge left and right, looking for Liu Tiezhu's flaws.

He was like an agile monkey, constantly jumping and dodging under Liu Tiezhu's attacks.

For a moment, the alley was filled with the sound of fists and flying dust.

Every time fists collided, there was a dull sound, as if the sound of war drums was roaring on the battlefield.

Although Banggeng fought hard, he was no match for Liu Tiezhu after all.

Gradually, he began to lose the upper hand and was hit by many punches. His face and body were covered with bruises and scars, and the pain made his breathing become rapid.

But Bang Geng did not give up. He gritted his teeth and continued to fight with Liu Tiezhu. He had only one thought in his mind, that is, he must not let Liu Tiezhu succeed. His eyes were full of determination and unyielding, as if telling Liu Tiezhu that he would not give in easily.

However, Liu Tiezhu's attacks became more and more fierce, and Banggeng finally couldn't stand it anymore.

Liu Tiezhu knocked him to the ground with a punch, blood flowing from the corner of his mouth. He lay on the ground, gasping for breath, his eyes full of resentment. But he also knew that he was no match for Liu Tiezhu, so he had to say, "I don't dare to do it again. I will never provoke Yan Jiecheng again."

Liu Tiezhu looked down at Banggeng and said, "Remember what you said. If you dare to cause trouble for Yan Jiecheng again, I will not forgive you." After that, Liu Tiezhu turned and left the alley.

Banggeng looked at Liu Tiezhu's back, his heart filled with humiliation and helplessness.

Inside the Jia family's house, the lights were dim, and Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu were sitting at the table, expectantly waiting for Banggeng to come back for dinner. The air was filled with the faint aroma of food, but it couldn't cover up the worry in their hearts.

Time passed by minute by minute, and finally, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door. Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu stood up quickly and looked towards the door. When the door was pushed open, they saw Banggeng's bruised body and were stunned.

Jia Zhang's eyes widened, her face full of astonishment and heartache.

She rushed to Bang Geng and asked in a trembling voice, "Bang Geng, what's wrong with you? What happened?"

Her hand gently stroked the wound on Banggeng's face, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Qin Huairu also came over quickly, her face was pale, her eyes were full of concern. She held Banggeng's hand and said anxiously: "Son, how did you get into this state? Who beat you like this?" There was a hint of tears in her voice, and her heart was full of anger and anxiety.

Bang Geng lowered his head, bit his lips, and was silent for a moment.

Then he slowly raised his head, his eyes flashing with anger and humiliation. He said, "It was Liu Tiezhu, he came to teach me a lesson for Yan Jiecheng." His voice was hoarse and low, full of helplessness and pain.

When Jia Zhang heard this, she was immediately furious.

She waved her arms and shouted, "Who is this Liu Tiezhu? How dare he hit you? Let's go and settle the score with him." Her face was full of anger, as if she was about to rush out to avenge Banggeng.

Qin Huairu was relatively calm. She held Jia Zhang and said, "Mom, don't be impulsive. Let's understand the situation first. Banggeng, what happened? Why were you beaten by Liu Tiezhu?" Her eyes were full of confusion and worry.

Bang Geng sighed and told them the whole story.

After hearing this, Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu's faces became even uglier.

They felt sorry for Banggeng's experience and were angry at the behavior of Yan Jiecheng and Liu Tiezhu.

Jia Zhang gnashed her teeth and said, "This Yan Jiecheng has gone too far. He actually hired someone to beat you up. We can't just let this go."

Qin Huairu also nodded and said, "Mom, we have to think of a way. We can't let Banggeng be bullied in vain."

Jia Zhang's face also turned cold. In the courtyard, she was the only one who bullied others, and no one had ever bullied her.

Now Banggeng was beaten by Yan Jiecheng. If she doesn't get revenge, the residents in the compound will definitely look down on her in the future.

"I'm going to settle accounts with Uncle San right now! Ask him to give me an explanation."

Jia Zhang angrily walked out of the house and headed straight for the third uncle's house. Along the way, the afterglow of the setting sun had gradually faded away, and dusk enveloped the courtyard.

In the dim light, Jia Zhang's face was so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out of it. The breeze blew gently, making the leaves in the yard rustle, but it could not calm Jia Zhang's anger. She was filled with anger and unwillingness, and secretly vowed to make the third uncle give her a satisfactory explanation.

When she arrived at the third uncle's house, Jia Zhang knocked on the door loudly and rudely.

The knocking sounds of "bang bang bang" on the door seemed particularly loud in the quiet courtyard, as if a stone thrown into a calm lake, breaking the tranquility of the night.

When the third uncle heard the knock on the door, he was confused and wondered who was knocking at such a late hour.

He opened the door and was stunned when he saw Jia Zhang's angry face.

Without waiting for the third uncle to speak, Jia Zhang shouted, "Third uncle, look at what your son has done! Banggeng was beaten by Yan Jiecheng and now his body is covered with bruises. You must give me an explanation!" Her voice was sharp and harsh, full of accusations and demands.

At this time, the lights in the yard shone on Jia Zhang and the third uncle, casting long shadows, making them look particularly deserted.

When the third uncle heard this, he was also shocked. He didn't expect Yan Jiecheng to hit someone, and he hit him with a stick.

He frowned and said, "Ms. Jia Zhang, don't get excited. What is going on? Why would Jie Cheng do that?" The air around them seemed to become tense because of their quarrel.

Jia Zhang snorted coldly and said, "It's because your son Yan Jiecheng did something wrong and was afraid that Bang Geng would expose him, so you hired someone to beat Bang Geng. Now Bang Geng is seriously injured, you must compensate Bang Geng 100 yuan!"

Her eyes were full of greed and tyranny, as if the Third Master had to do what she asked. The old locust tree in the yard swayed its branches and leaves gently in the night breeze, as if it was also sighing for the quarrel.

The third uncle was very angry after hearing what Jia Zhang said. He felt that Jia Zhang was being unreasonable and wanted to take the opportunity to blackmail him.

He said, "Ms. Jia Zhang, don't talk nonsense. Jie Cheng would never do anything wrong, let alone find someone to beat him up. You are framing him."

At this time, some neighbors were attracted by the quarrel and came out of their homes and stood not far away to watch.

The neighbors gathered around and saw Jia Zhang and the third uncle arguing. They all asked curiously what was going on.

Jia Zhang then recounted the whole story with exaggeration, trying to arouse the sympathy and support of the neighbors.

However, the neighbors did not completely believe Jia Zhang's words. They felt that Jia Zhang was always a troublemaker and this time she was being unreasonable. The atmosphere in the yard became more tense, and people were talking and talking.

When the third uncle saw the reactions of his neighbors, he felt a little relieved.

He said, "Ms. Jia Zhang, please stop messing around here. I won't compensate you a hundred dollars.

If you have evidence to prove that it was Jie Cheng who hit Bang Geng, I will ask Jie Cheng to apologize to Bang Geng. But if you don’t have evidence, please leave and don’t harass me again.”

At this time, the moon poked its head out from behind the clouds, casting a cool light.

Seeing that the Third Master was so determined and refused to admit his fault, Jia Zhang felt angry and aggrieved, and instantly felt that she had been wronged. Her face, which was already full of anger, became even more distorted, and her eyes gradually turned red.

She sat down on the ground, kicked her legs wildly, slapped the ground with her hands, and began to cry. Her cry was particularly loud in the silent courtyard, as if she wanted to vent all the dissatisfaction and pain in her heart through this cry.

"Oh my, this life is unbearable! My poor Banggeng was beaten like that, and this uncle still refuses to admit it! Wuuuuuu..."

Jia Zhang cried and shouted, her voice sharp and miserable.

Her hair became messy due to her crying, with a few strands hanging on her face, making her look even more disheveled.

At this time, the lights in the courtyard were dim, as if they also felt helpless about this farce.

The night wind blew gently, stirring the leaves in the yard, making a rustling sound, but it could not cover up Jia Zhang's crying.

The neighbors looked at Jia Zhang's appearance, some shook their heads and sighed, some showed sympathy, but most of them were annoyed by her behavior.

Jia Zhang completely ignored the looks of others and continued crying on the ground.

Her tears flowed like a flood, dripping onto the ground.

She kept muttering to herself, "What should we do? Banggeng was beaten and there's no one to help us! Wuuuuuu..."

Her voice echoed in the courtyard, full of despair and helplessness.

Auntie was just walking in the yard, but she didn't expect to be startled by Jia Zhang's crying. Seeing Jia Zhang's tantrum, Auntie frowned helplessly. Jia Zhang sat on the ground, blocking the door of the third uncle's house, which made Auntie feel that it was really outrageous. She knew that this was not a solution, and she had to find a way to solve it quickly.

After much thought, Auntie decided to run to Yan Jiefang's house and tell Yan Jiefang and Xiaodang about this. She hurried to the back house where Yan Jiefang and Xiaodang lived and knocked on the door. Yan Jiefang opened the door and saw Auntie's anxious face, and he was confused.

At this time, Yan Jiefang and Xiaodang were eating in the house. There was a simple meal on the table, steaming hot. Xiaodang was just about to take a bite of food and put it in her mouth. When she heard the knock on the door, she stopped and looked towards the door.

Auntie said quickly, "Jiefang, Xiaodang is here too. It's bad. Jia Zhang is crying outside Uncle San's house, saying that Banggeng was beaten by Yan Jiecheng and she wants Uncle San to pay her 100 yuan. This is causing unrest in the yard."

  Yan Jiefang and Xiao Dang's faces turned ugly after hearing this. They didn't expect things to develop to this point.

Xiao Dang frowned and said, "This Jia Zhang is too much, how can she do this?"

She put down her chopsticks and a look of dissatisfaction appeared on her face.

Yan Jiefang was silent for a moment, then said, "Auntie, we don't want to cause any trouble. What is going on here?"

He also put down his bowl and chopsticks, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

The old lady sighed and described in detail what she had seen.

After hearing this, Yan Jiefang and Xiao Dang felt helpless.

They knew that Jia Zhang was not someone to be trifled with, but they couldn't allow her to continue to act like this.

Xiaodang felt very upset after hearing what the aunt said. She knew that Jia Zhang was not easy to mess with, but she couldn't let her make trouble and affect the peace of the whole courtyard. So Xiaodang put down her bowl and chopsticks, stood up and walked to the door of the third uncle's house.

When Xiaodang arrived at the door of the third uncle's house, he saw Jia Zhang still sitting on the ground crying, surrounded by some neighbors, everyone was whispering. Xiaodang walked up to her and said softly: "Aunt Jia, please stop making trouble. Can't we talk it out?"

Jia Zhang looked up and saw Xiao Dang, and her anger grew even more intense. She pointed at Xiao Dang and said, "How dare you come to persuade me? Your brother Yan Jiecheng hired someone to beat up your brother Bang Geng. We can't just let this go."

Xiao Dang was shocked when she heard this. She didn't expect Yan Jiecheng to do such a thing. She quickly said, "Aunt Jia, is there any misunderstanding here? Why would my brother hit someone?"

Jia Zhang snorted coldly and said, "Misunderstanding? Bang Geng is covered with bruises, how can this be false? Your brother was afraid that Bang Geng would expose him, so he asked someone to beat Bang Geng. You must give me an explanation."

Xiao Dang frowned and said, "Aunt Jia, don't get excited. I'll go back and ask my brother what happened. If it's really my brother's fault, we will definitely give you an explanation."

Jia Zhang was not willing to give in. She said, "An explanation? That's not what I want. I want you to compensate Bang Geng for his medical expenses and mental damages, a total of one hundred yuan."

Xiaodang was also in a state of helplessness at this time.

Her identity is very complicated. From Yan Jiefang's perspective, Yan Jiecheng is her brother. But Banggeng is her biological brother, so it's not appropriate to help either of them.
