Yan Bugui shook his head and was about to persuade Zhou Chen a few more words when he suddenly heard a loud roar coming from outside. It was already night time, and such a loud roar was still very clear.

"What's going on? Is there an accident outside?"

Yan Bugui and Zhou Chen both put down their wine glasses and walked out. As soon as they walked out, they saw someone else coming out.

"what happened?"

"It was Old Liu's family in the backyard. Old Liu and his two sons were fighting."

"What? A fight broke out? Was it the father beating the son, or the son beating the father?"

If it were in the past, everyone would know without asking that it would definitely be the father beating his son. If you were to ask who in their courtyard likes to beat his son the most, it would definitely be Liu Haizhong.

It is no exaggeration to say that even if all the parents in the hospital were added together, they would probably not have beaten their children as many times as Liu Haizhong did.

But that was in the past. Things are different now. Liu Haizhong is old and his two sons are grown up. If a fight really breaks out, it is hard to say who will beat whom.

Chapter 915: Girlfriend returns, Zhou Chen buys a car

The neighbors in the front courtyard rushed to the backyard in a crowd after hearing the movement. Curiosity was part of the reason, but most of them still wanted to watch the excitement.

Before Liu Haizhong was imprisoned, the Liu family had a bad reputation in the Siheyuan. After Liu Haizhong was imprisoned, many people did not say anything on the surface, but in fact they still kept a distance from the Liu family in their hearts. What's worse, some people thought that Liu Haizhong brought it upon himself and applauded.

"Rebellious son, rebellious son, you guys can beat me too, just beat me to death..."

As soon as Zhou Chen followed everyone to the backyard, he heard the miserable and desperate screams of the second aunt, as well as the voices of several women trying to persuade her.

At the door of Liu's house, the second aunt was sitting slumped on the ground, with disheveled hair, rolling around, without any scruples about her image.

Also standing at the door were the two sons of the Liu family, the Liu Guangtian brothers. The two brothers did not look good either. Liu Guangtian's clothes were torn, and the third brother even had blood on his head.

As for Liu Haizhong, he didn't see anything, but there were noises in the house. Liu Haizhong must have felt ashamed and didn't want to come out. But looking at the looks of his two sons and the crying of the second aunt, I'm afraid he's not much better off.

Yan Bugui watched this scene with sympathy and sighed, "Old Liu, he suffered all his life, but ended up like this when he was old."

Zhou Chen glanced at him and thought to himself: You will not be much better than him in the future.

"He beat his son when he was young, and was beaten by his son when he was old. It's a bit too much to say that it's karma, but the root cause is still his own fault."

No matter what era it is, it seems natural for a father to beat his son, but in fact, beating is allowed, but it depends on the situation.

Like Liu Haizhong, he beats his children whenever he wants and even beats them to death. It would be fine if he did this to all his children, but Liu Haizhong only beats his second and youngest sons instead of his eldest son. This is a problem.

Being beaten will produce a good son, but it depends on the situation.

Although there are all kinds of messy things in the courtyard, fights between father and son like the Liu family are really rare.

Some people went over to persuade them, while others just watched the fun.

He Yuzhu is a person who likes to join in the fun. He does things based on his own preferences. When he saw that the two sons of the Liu family even beat their father, he couldn't stand it anymore.

He pushed the crowd aside, walked over, pointed at the Liu Guangtian brothers and cursed: "Liu Guangtian, Liu Guangdang, are you two still human? That's your father, you even beat him, how can a beast recognize his parents? You are worse than beasts."

Under normal circumstances, the two brothers might be afraid of He Yuzhu because of his martial arts skills, but now they are only filled with anger and certainly will not be polite to He Yuzhu.

"Silly Zhu, this is our family's business, do you want an outsider like you to get involved?"

"That's right, Silly Zhu. It's none of your business to interfere in our family affairs. If you want to interfere, go take care of your three cheap sons and daughters. Why are you pretending to be a filial son in front of us?"

How could He Yuzhu stand such scolding? He immediately got angry.

"Liu Guangtian, Liu Guangdang, it seems like I haven't dealt with you for a long time, right? You dare to be so arrogant to me? Come on, both of you brothers, I will deal with you today on behalf of your father."

Liu Guangtian cursed: "Silly Zhu, who do you think you are? Why are you so arrogant with us? Are you good at fighting? If you have the guts, go find Zhou Chen and fight him. Do you dare?"

Immediately, countless eyes fell on He Yuzhu and Zhou Chen's faces, and He Yuzhu's face instantly turned gloomy.

Zhou Chen was also stunned. I just came to join in the fun and didn’t say a word. How did this bring me to this point?

Seeing that He Yuzhu was about to lose his temper, Qin Huairu hurried forward, and Yi Zhonghai also shouted: "Zhuzi, don't say anything, Qin Huairu, keep an eye on him."

Qin Huairu immediately said, "I know, sir."

Although He Yuzhu was furious, he still fell for Qin Huairu's tricks. After being persuaded by Qin Huairu, he stopped confronting the Liu brothers.

Yi Zhonghai called Yan Bugui, went into the house to find Liu Haizhong, and several women also helped the second aunt up, while Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangdang left angrily.

Over the years, the Liu family has become a laughing stock in the courtyard. Ever since Liu Haizhong was imprisoned, the Liu family has been in turmoil. After Liu Haizhong was released from prison, things became even more uneasy.

Now, look what happened. The father and his sons had a fight, and he was beaten by his two sons. It was really embarrassing.

Second Aunt had suffered too much contempt over the years, so she no longer cared about it, but Liu Haizhong still couldn't accept this blow.

From that year till now, all he has suffered is embarrassment and pain.

He went to jail, lost his job, and had to sweep the streets. Now he can't even control his own children and is beaten by his son.

Looking at the entire No. 95 Courtyard, or even the entire Nanluoguxiang, it is estimated that there is no old man more miserable than him.

The second aunt was still crying loudly, venting the resentment she had accumulated over the years, and everyone around her was silent, because most of what she said was true.

Zhou Chen didn't stay long. He left after watching for a while. He didn't go back to Yan's house and went straight back to his own home.

…………

Qianmen Railway Station, also the old Capital Station and the later Capital Battle. Zhou Chen came here today to pick someone up.

At around one o'clock in the afternoon, he finally waited for the person he was supposed to meet, a pretty woman standing in front of him with a happy smile on her face.

After not seeing each other for two years, Chen Lin has changed a lot, especially in her temperament. It is completely different from when we parted eight years ago. Back then, she exuded decadence, but now she exudes confidence.

After eight years, Chen Lin's father finally made a comeback, and the Chen family rose again from its former decline. Chen Lin was transferred back to the capital from the farm.

For eight years, they wrote to each other without interruption. Zhou Chen also visited her five times, bringing her a lot of things each time. It is no exaggeration to say that her ability to persist, in addition to her own willpower, is inseparable from Zhou Chen's encouragement.

Looking at Zhou Chen, Chen Lin had a thousand things to say, but in the end she only said one sentence.

"I am back."

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "Welcome back."

The two smiled at each other, Zhou Chen took the luggage from her 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, "Yes, I asked someone to buy it for me. It just arrived and I just started riding it. You will be the first person I give it to you."

"Then shouldn't I be honored?" Chen Lin smiled sweetly, obviously enjoying it very much.

Zhou Chen first put the luggage in the back and tied it up, then got in the car. Chen Lin did not avoid suspicion and sat naturally behind Zhou Chen, holding Zhou Chen's shoulders with both hands.

"Don't be nervous, I won't drive fast."

"I'm not nervous, I just haven't ridden a motorcycle in the city before."

"Then let me take you to experience it today. Shall we go to eat first, or send you to the unit to settle down first?"

"I was assigned to the Civil Affairs Bureau when I came back this time. You can take me there first. I'll deliver my luggage to the dormitory. We'll go eat after you've settled in."

She used to work in a supply and marketing cooperative, but this time when her father recovered, she was also taken care of and assigned to the Civil Affairs Bureau. Although the position was not high, it was also good.

In fact, with her qualifications, she had other options, but she insisted on returning to the capital, so she was assigned to the Civil Affairs Bureau.

"No problem, if you transfer to the Civil Affairs Bureau, won't it be much more convenient for us to get married and get a marriage certificate in the future?"

"Yes, yes, whatever you say is right."

Chen Lin didn't feel shy because she thought their marriage was a natural thing 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. Chen Lin went to handle the employment procedures. They were busy until after six o'clock before they had time to rest.

Although Chen Lin was a little tired, she was still in very good spirits. She asked Zhou Chen to take her to the barbecue restaurant and treated Zhou Chen to a meal.

"You've taken care of me in the past few years, so I have to treat you to dinner today." Chen Lin's tone left no room for refusal.

Zhou Chen smiled and replied, "Okay, then I'm going to eat as much as I can today."

"Then eat as much as you want. When my dormitory is ready, I will cook for you there."

"Ah."

When they met again, although they didn't say any sweet words, they didn't feel strange at all. After eight years of hardship and waiting, even though they hadn't gotten married yet, Chen Lin had already regarded Zhou Chen as her man.

The meal lasted two hours and 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. I will come to you when I am done with this."

"Then you should know where I live."

"Of course, I wrote to you quite a few times. Courtyard 95, Nanluoguxiang."

Zhou Chen waved to Chen Lin, then drove away on his motorcycle.

Although it was already ten o'clock when Zhou Chen returned to the courtyard, although the chug of the motorcycle was not loud, no one was attracted to watch.

Although there was a large open space at the gate of the courtyard, Zhou Chen never thought of putting the motorcycle outside. If he put it outside tonight, he might be missing arms and legs tomorrow morning.

In a few decades, in a society where cameras are everywhere, petty thefts are inevitable, not to mention the present era where there are not even any cameras.

The courtyard has steps and thresholds, so it is impossible for a motorcycle to drive in directly. If you want to get in, you can only lift it up.

A motorcycle is not light. His is almost 100 kilograms. It is difficult for a normal person to lift it. It takes a lot of effort to get it into the courtyard.

But Zhou Chen was different. His physique was too strong. More than 100 kilograms was nothing to him. He grabbed the motorcycle with both hands, lifted it up with a little effort, walked into the gate, then went through the front door and came to the front yard.

Just as he pushed the motorcycle to the door of his house, a man came out of the yard. Seeing Zhou Chen locking the motorcycle, he screamed in surprise.

"Zhou Chen, where did you get this motorcycle?"

Yan Jiecheng looked at Zhou Chen and the motorcycle in surprise. He hadn't slept yet and was about to go to the toilet before going to bed. Who would have thought that he would see Zhou Chen locking the motorcycle.

Zhou Chen locked the motorcycle before saying, "I just bought it today."

"Did you buy it?"

Yan Jiecheng cried out in surprise. After all, he had been working for many years. Although he did not have a motorcycle, he had heard people talk about it. A motorcycle must cost several thousand dollars, right?

You have to know that a bicycle costs only a little over a hundred yuan, but even so, there are not many families in their yard that own bicycles.

But Zhou Chen was different. While everyone was still thinking about having a bicycle, he had already bought a motorcycle.

Yan Jiecheng walked forward and looked at the motorcycle. It was dark, but he could see clearly how brand new the motorcycle was. It was indeed a new motorcycle.

"Zhou Chen, you are awesome, awesome."

He didn't know what words to use to express his feelings. Lacking the vocabulary, he could only say "awesome" several times in a row.

It is impossible not to admire him. He has worked longer hours than Zhou Chen, but look at Zhou Chen's conditions and then look at his conditions.

Zhou Chen now has three rooms in the yard, but he can only live in a room in the corner of the front yard with his wife. Zhou Chen has bought a motorcycle, but he can only ride a second-hand bicycle. Zhou Chen is now paid the salary of a level 6 worker, but he, forget it...

Comparing yourself to others is really infuriating.

"so good."

Looking at the brand new motorcycle, Yan Jiecheng's eyes were shining. As a man, most of them like motorcycles, but for most of them, motorcycles are an unattainable dream.

Now that the dream is in front of him, how could he not be tempted.

"Zhou Chen, this car is not cheap, it must be several thousand dollars at least, right?"

"It's OK. I asked someone to help me buy it for a discount."

Zhou Chen responded casually, unwilling to say more: "I'm a little tired today, I'm going back to my room to sleep first."

"okay."

Yan Jiecheng looked at him a few more times reluctantly, went to the toilet, came back and ran to Zhou Chen's door to look at him a few more times, then went back to the room with a sigh.

After returning to the room and getting into bed, he couldn't fall asleep, so he pushed his wife Yu Li beside him.

"Yu Li, wake up."

After pushing a few times, Yu Li finally opened her eyes.

"What are you doing? Why aren't you sleeping so late at night?"

"I just went to the toilet and ran into Zhou Chen. You know, Zhou Chen bought a car. It's not a bicycle, it's a motorcycle. A motorcycle."

Yu Li, who was still a little sleepy, suddenly widened her eyes, and her sleepiness disappeared when she heard that Zhou Chen bought a motorcycle, and she sat up abruptly.

"Can you say that again."

"Zhou Chen bought a motorcycle. It's not a second-hand one. It's a new car. A new motorcycle costs several thousand."
