Siheyuan: Start with a big car

With Li Weidong announcing the punishment for Liu Haizhong, the uproarious incident finally came to an end. But the more Liu Haizhong thought about it, the angrier he became. He was so depressed. He never thought that he would be the one who suffered the most in the end.

Yan Jiecheng, that kid, caused a lot of trouble, but he ran away without getting into any trouble. Liu Guangtian, although he was also implicated in this incident, at least he didn't receive any substantial punishment. But I was the only one who had to clean the compound for half a year and the toilet outside just because I got drunk and went crazy, even though I didn't cause this incident at all.

The work of cleaning the toilet was dirty and smelly, and it was a headache just thinking about it. Liu Hai was very reluctant, so for two consecutive days, he pretended that nothing had happened and did not perform the duty of cleaning the toilet at all.

Now, Uncle Zhang from the compound went to the toilet that day. As soon as he entered the toilet, he frowned because of the increasingly strong stench. He looked at the extremely dirty toilet and got angry. He knew that it must be because Liu Haizhong didn't clean it. So, Uncle Zhang came to Liu Haizhong's house angrily, ready to remind him.

As soon as Uncle Zhang reached the door, he shouted at the top of his voice: "Liu Haizhong, what's wrong with you? The toilet is so dirty, why don't you go and clean it?"

Liu Haizhong was sitting on a stool in the room, feeling sulky. When he heard Uncle Zhang's shout, he became even more annoyed. He stood up suddenly, rushed to the door, opened it, glared at Uncle Zhang and cursed: "You old man, what's your business! I can clean whenever I want, why are you here making a fuss?"

Uncle Zhang was shocked by Liu Haizhong's sudden scolding. He widened his eyes and looked incredulous: "Liu Haizhong, how can you be like this? This toilet is shared by everyone. If you don't clean it, how can people in our compound use it? Do you have any sense of public morality?"

Liu Haizhong didn't listen to Uncle Zhang at all. He snorted and slammed the door shut, leaving Uncle Zhang outside.
Uncle Zhang couldn't hold back his anger after being scolded by Liu Haizhong. His face flushed red and he walked back while muttering, "Humph, this Liu Haizhong is too unreasonable. He didn't admit his mistakes and wouldn't even listen to my advice. I must teach him a lesson!"

After returning home, Uncle Zhang became more and more angry. After thinking about it, he decided that he had to talk to Li Weidong about this matter. So he hurried to Li Weidong's house.

When they arrived at Li Weidong's house, Uncle Zhang exaggerated the story of how Liu Haizhong didn't clean the toilet and scolded him. He was so angry that he hoped that Li Weidong could teach Liu Haizhong a lesson.

But at this time, Li Weidong was busy with the new energy vehicles that were about to be launched on the market. How could he have the time to take care of these trivial matters in the compound?

Li Weidong frowned as he listened to Uncle Zhang's story. Although he felt that Liu Haizhong was wrong, he really didn't have time to deal with it. He paced back and forth in the room for a few circles, and suddenly his eyes lit up and he thought of an idea.

"Uncle Zhang, how about this? Go and call Sha Zhu to come home for me." Li Weidong said to Uncle Zhang.

Sha Zhu was at home thinking about what delicious food to make for Han Zhizhi. When he heard Uncle Zhang say that Li Weidong was looking for him, he threw the food in his hand on the table without saying a word and hurried to Li Weidong's house.

When they arrived at Li Weidong's house, before Sha Zhu had time to catch his breath, Li Weidong told him everything about Liu Haizhong's reluctance to clean the toilet and his scolding of Uncle Zhang.

After listening to this, Sha Zhu scratched his head and said carelessly: "Brother Weidong, this is a simple matter. Just tell me whether you want me to solve it by force or not? If I can, I promise that I can make him obey in a few moves and make him go and clean the toilet obediently."

Upon hearing this, Li Weidong couldn't help but laugh and scolded, "You idiot, you only know how to use force. But it's not that you can't use some tricks, but you have to be careful and don't hurt anyone, otherwise there will be a lot of trouble."

When Sha Zhu heard this, his eyes lit up immediately, and a look of great joy appeared on his face. He said excitedly: "Hey, Brother Weidong, don't worry! I know what I'm doing. I promise to make him obediently clean the toilet, but I won't hurt him, hehe."

Just kidding, ever since Han Zhizhi got her bangs done, she has been bragging in front of him a lot and even asked him to wash her feet twice.

This time it's his turn to be glorious.

Liu Haizhong was sitting on a small stool at home, crossing his legs, holding a small wine cup in his hand, drinking wine comfortably. Second Auntie was watching from the side, feeling very anxious, because she knew Liu Haizhong's temper very well. If he continued to be so stubborn, he would definitely cause big trouble again.

"Dad, stop drinking here and go clean the toilet. Look at you, you caused such a big fuss because of this matter before. Now Li Weidong asks you to clean the toilet, so just do it obediently, otherwise who knows what kind of trouble will happen." The second aunt advised earnestly.

When Liu Haizhong heard this, he immediately flew into a rage. He slammed the wine cup in his hand on the table, stood up and yelled at the second aunt: "You old woman, what do you know! Why should I clean that lousy toilet? I can't just clean it whenever I want. That toilet is so dirty, I won't do it!"

The second aunt was so frightened by his roar that she took two steps back, her eyes red, and she said aggrievedly: "I'm doing this for your own good, for the good of our family, why don't you listen to my advice?"

At this moment, there was a knock on the door. "Knock, knock, knock", the knock sound seemed particularly abrupt in this tense atmosphere.

Liu Haizhong frowned and shouted unhappily, "Who is it? Why are you knocking?" While shouting, he walked towards the door in his slippers.

He opened the door and saw that it was Sha Zhu standing at the door, looking at him with a half-smile. Liu Haizhong was stunned for a moment, and his heart skipped a beat, thinking that Sha Zhu must be up to no good, but he still said stiffly: "Sha Zhu, what are you doing here?"

Sha Zhu stood at the door with his arms folded across his chest, with a half-smile on his face, looking at Liu Haizhong and said slowly: "Liu Haizhong, I'm here today for no other reason than to clean the toilet for you. I'll give you two choices, you have to listen carefully. The first one is to clean the toilet right now and don't let everyone poke you in the back; the second one, hehe, is to fight with me. If you can beat me, we'll pretend that we never talked about cleaning the toilet. You choose!"

When Liu Haizhong heard this, his heart skipped a beat. He knew Sha Zhu's ability too well. Fighting with Sha Zhu? That would be asking for trouble. With his small body, how could he withstand Sha Zhu's blows? Thinking of the dirty and smelly toilet, although he was extremely reluctant, comparing the two, cleaning the toilet was more acceptable. So, before Sha Zhu could react, Liu Haizhong suddenly changed into a different person. He turned around and rushed into the house, picked up the broom in the corner and ran out, shouting as he ran: "I choose the first one, I'm going to clean the toilet, right away!" His speed was so fast that it seemed like a wolf was chasing him.

Sha Zhu was stunned for a moment. He stared at Liu Haizhong's receding back with his eyes wide open. He didn't come back to his senses for a long time. He thought to himself, "Hey, why is Liu Haizhong so straightforward today? I thought I would have to go through a lot of trouble to talk him out of it, but I didn't expect him to choose to clean the toilet so easily. Humph, how boring!"

Sha Zhu stood there scratching his head, shaking his head helplessly, then slowly turned around and walked back, still muttering: "Okay, since he has gone to clean the toilet, I will go back to cook for Zhizhi, I can't let my wife starve."

...

evening.

Liu Haizhong was busy in that dirty and smelly toilet for a long time. He was so tired that he was out of breath, his back and waist ached. He felt that his old bones were about to fall apart. Then he dragged his tired body back home.

As soon as he entered the door, before he could recover from the shock, he saw Liu Guangtian walking in with a young girl, who was none other than Zhang Xiuhua. Liu Guangtian said to Liu Haizhong with a big smile on his face, "Dad, look, I brought Xiuhua home with me, you have to leave a good impression on her."

Liu Haizhong snorted unhappily and rolled his eyes at Liu Guangtian. He was already feeling annoyed and didn't want to bother with this.

But who knew that Liu Guangtian's next words would make Liu Haizhong even more furious. Liu Guangtian approached Liu Haizhong and whispered, "Dad, do you still remember that 50 yuan that Yan Jiecheng owed me? Look at your current situation. You are already so tired from cleaning toilets. Why don't you go to Yan Jiecheng and ask for the money back? Get the money back so that we can help with the family expenses."

When Liu Haizhong heard this, his eyes widened, his face turned red with anger, and he cursed: "You little bastard, you still have the nerve to mention this to me? How much suffering have I endured because of your shit? First, I got drunk and made trouble, and then Li Weidong punished me to clean the toilet, which made me exhausted. Now you want me to ask Yan Jiecheng for money. What are you thinking? Is Yan Jiecheng that guy easy to mess with? Do you want me to get into trouble again?"

At this point, Liu Haizhong paused, took a breath, and continued to curse: "Yan Jiecheng is a fool, and you still expect to get money from him? Humph!"

Liu Guangtian looked puzzled, scratched his head and asked, "Dad, why don't I understand? Why do you say he is stupid?"

Liu Haizhong glanced at him unhappily and explained, "Think about it carefully. This time, the incident was so serious, but Yan Jiecheng was risking being exposed and was unwilling to pay that little money to settle the matter. Normally, if he really took the money, he would definitely find a way to settle the matter peacefully, but he didn't give a penny, which can only mean one thing, that is, he didn't get the money at all. So, if you want to get the so-called 100 yuan, you have to find Yan Jiecheng and find out who really needs the new energy material. If you figure out the whole story, there may be a glimmer of hope. Otherwise, don't think about the money, so as not to cause more trouble."

After listening to Liu Haizhong's analysis, Liu Guangtian couldn't help but give his father a thumbs up and said with admiration: "Dad, you are really smart. Why didn't I think of this before? With this analysis, you really figured out the matter thoroughly."

Liu Haizhong snorted and said unhappily, "Humph, what can you think of with your stupid head? If it weren't for me, you would have fallen into many troubles because of this matter."

Liu Guangtian smiled and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, Dad, you are right. This time it depends on you to figure this out. It would be great if we can get the money back."

Liu Haizhong glanced at him and said slowly, "Humph, don't be too happy too soon. If you really get the money, don't forget my thirty yuan. Because of this, I drank and made trouble, and was punished to clean the toilet. I suffered so much. You can't take the money alone, you have to give me a share."

Liu Guangtian responded hurriedly: "Dad, don't worry, I will never forget your thirty yuan. As long as the money can be recovered, I will definitely divide it according to your request. Just wait for the money to be collected."

Liu Haizhong nodded with satisfaction.

Liu Guangtian was so anxious that he wanted to get the money back that he had no intention of staying at Liu's house for dinner. So, he didn't even have time to eat a bite of food and hurried to the third uncle's house.

When Liu Guangtian arrived at the door of the third uncle's house, he raised his hand and knocked on the door. The third uncle was sitting at the table calculating the family's accounts. When he heard the knock on the door, he thought it was another naughty child making trouble, so he answered angrily: "Who is it? Why are you knocking!"

But when he opened the door and saw Liu Guangtian standing at the door, he was startled and took a step back subconsciously. The scene of Liu Haizhong making a scene in his house was still vivid in his mind. He thought Liu Guangtian was here to cause trouble again, and a look of vigilance instantly appeared on his face.

Seeing this, Liu Guangtian hurriedly smiled and explained, "Don't be afraid, Third Uncle. I came here for no other reason than to talk to Yan Jiecheng. I really didn't mean to cause any trouble."

The third uncle didn't believe him at all. He stared at Liu Guangtian with suspicion and said, "Huh, talk about business? What good things can you talk about with him? I still remember the last time your dad made a scene here. Don't fool me here. If you have something to say, tell me and leave quickly. Don't make trouble here."

Liu Guangtian was so anxious that he scratched his head and continued to explain: "Uncle, I really came here to have a good talk about the money he owed me. Please let me meet him. I will leave immediately after the talk and I promise not to cause any trouble."

The third uncle was still skeptical, but seeing Liu Guangtian's anxious and sincere look, he was a little shaken. He hesitated for a moment, then said: "Okay, then you can come in, but I warn you, if you dare to make trouble, I will not forgive you."

Liu Guangtian heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this, and quickly responded, "Thank you, Third Uncle. Don't worry." (End of this chapter)
