Siheyuan: First-class Merit at the Start

Chapter 13: The Old Lady's Defense Breaks

It was still working hours and there were not many people in the yard. Li Bolu, who was pushing his bicycle out, happened to meet an old lady supporting an old deaf man strolling in the central courtyard.

Li Polu had not seen her during his two previous visits to the courtyard, but he finally saw her today and glanced curiously at the deaf old lady's feet.

Yeah, that's really a small foot.

The deaf old lady saw that Li Polu had no intention of greeting her and even glanced at her feet.

As a respected ancestor in the courtyard, respected by every household, the deaf old lady felt offended again. She muttered in dissatisfaction: "Uneducated little thing."

It would have been fine if Li Polu didn't hear it, but even if he did, he would not tolerate this old lady with bound feet.

Then, he smiled and replied, "An old deaf man who will never die."

The deaf old lady's face changed and she scolded, "Boy, who are you saying is old and immortal?"

Li Polu kept smiling and said politely, "Speaking of the old deaf man, what's the matter?"

The deaf old lady angrily pounded the ground with her cane and cursed, "You bastard, are you trying to rebel? I am the ancestor of this courtyard. How dare you scold me?"

Li Polu said with a smile: "Oh, the old lady misunderstood, I was scolding an old deaf man. Are you deaf? I don't think so, why do you come up to me and ask for scolding?"

"You little bastard, didn't your parents teach you to respect the elderly? You have a father but no mother. What do you mean by an old deaf man? Now..."

There was a loud 'smack'. Before the deaf old lady could finish her words, she was hit on the face by a big nose.

The slap shocked everyone.

The young and old ladies who were originally gathered together to chat all widened their eyes and looked at the scene in disbelief.

Whose general is this? He is so brave.

Oh, it was Brother Li who fought two people at once yesterday and put a knife to Sha Zhu's throat. That's all right.

The deaf old lady just felt her head buzzing.

Who is she.

She is the ancestor of the Siheyuan, a family member of a martyr, a recipient of the five-guarantee status, and a deaf old lady.

For so many years, in this courtyard, even if the man’s words are not final, at least he keeps his word.

Young men didn't even dare to speak to her loudly (for fear of scaring her to death), let alone slap her.

The deaf old lady was furious, and then she got angry for a while.

He said angrily: "Little bastard, do you know who I am? How dare you hit me? You will not die well, and your whole family will not die well..."

'Snapped. '

Before she could finish her words, the deaf old lady was slapped again. This slap was obviously heavier than the last one. Two of her few teeth flew out. Her cheeks suddenly swelled up.

The old lady finally reacted at this time: "Li Polu, you are going too far. How can you hit an old lady? The old lady is over 70 years old, how can she withstand such a beating from you. The old lady is a martyr's relative, and she has been beaten to death, and you have to........."

As the old lady was speaking, she met Li Polu's cold gaze, and the rest of the words were stuck in her mouth.

Could this be the look a human being could have?

Li Polu ignored the lady and said coldly, "Your age is not a reason for you to scold my parents. This time is just a small warning. If you do it again, I will send you to see my parents."

As he spoke, the cold look on his face disappeared. He said contemptuously: "Well, it seems that you are not worthy of meeting my parents. After all, you know better than me what your so-called martyr's family is. Isn't it?"

After saying that, Li Bolu no longer paid attention to the people in the courtyard and left the courtyard without looking back.

The deaf old lady was struck by lightning when she heard Li Polu's last contemptuous words.

Indeed, no one knows better than her and Yi Zhonghai what the status of a martyr's relative is.

Everything was just a lie made up by him and Yi Zhonghai in order to increase their voice in the hospital.

What? Her son died by the river? What? She sent straw sandals to the troops? All of them were lies.

Well, actually it’s not entirely a lie. The first one can be barely considered true.

She had a premonition that this yard would be in chaos in the future, because all the idle women in the yard, young and old, had heard what Li Polu said just now.

You have to know that her status in the hospital mainly comes from two aspects. First, she is old enough and has eaten more salt than others have eaten rice.

Second, her status as a five-guarantee household and the fabricated status of a martyr's relative gave her a high reputation in the hospital. People respected her, and her words were convincing.

Once people began to doubt her identity as a martyr's relative, her right to speak would be greatly reduced. And once this lie was exposed, she would probably not even have the right to speak in the hospital.

As expected, as witnesses of this century-long duel, the young and old women who were watching the showdown also exploded instantly after hearing Li Polu's last words.

"What do you mean? Isn't the old lady a martyr's relative?"

"Didn't they say she sent straw sandals to the Red Army?"

"Didn't they say that both of her sons died while crossing the river?"

"Didn't she say she had joined the guerrillas?"

"Isn't it said that she holds two Type 38 rifles and is nicknamed the Old Lady with Two Guns?"

"Didn't they say she practiced for two and a half years and can sing, dance, rap, and play basketball?"

"No, no, do you want to listen to what you are saying?"

Li Polu naturally didn't know about the conversation that took place in the courtyard. As soon as he left the courtyard, he immediately called out the system.

"Xixi, the original owner's soul is still in the body, right?"

Just now, when he heard the old deaf man scolding the original owner's parents, he suddenly became furious. Although he was an angry young man, he couldn't bear to see others insulting revolutionary martyrs like this.

But there should absolutely be no such urge to kill someone, which is obviously unreasonable.

"The original owner's soul has dissipated, but a part of his consciousness remains. Just now, this part of his consciousness was stimulated and activated."

"understood."

"The system can forcibly clear this part of the remaining consciousness, if the host needs it."

Li Polu hastily refused: "No, stay and witness the miracle together."

The old city of this era was completely lacking in the grandeur and magnificence of later generations, and was filled with low bungalows.

After strolling outside for half a day, Li Bolu returned to the courtyard at the right time to get off work.

Jia Zhang was a great man, and the eldest master in the courtyard was no less great.

Li Polu came to Siheyuan at the right time just to get sponsorship for the renovation of his own house.

"Hey! Xiao Li, here you come."

Li Polu was also surprised. He was not familiar with the people in this courtyard. Someone actually greeted him.

I looked up and saw it as expected.

Who else could it be other than the door god?

This third uncle Yan Bugui is also a bit of an oddball. From the moment he appeared on the stage, he kept claiming that his family was in financial difficulty and that his salary was only 27.5 yuan.

But in reality, the first bicycle and the first radio in the courtyard were all bought by his family.

Moreover, the salary of 37 yuan was not known until a long time ago. In fact, this guy has been teaching for so many years, at least he is an eighth-level teacher, and his salary is yuan.

Plus some other subsidies. The actual monthly salary will not be less than 50 yuan. It is definitely the third highest income in the hospital. It is much better than Shazhu, who always talks about yuan.

Although this guy's family is indeed large, with six or seven people in total, but the word "poor" is definitely not related to his family.

It's a bad habit that I've developed over time. If I don't take advantage of something, I'll be at a disadvantage.

Eating pickles was calculated by the root, and lending money to his son was calculated as usury. There were countless similar operations, which also laid the groundwork for his final ending.

Of course, in this era, such calculations are not a big problem. If there is no calculation at all, the courtyard full of beasts in this courtyard would have been eaten up by people without leaving any residue.

Moreover, even in the 21st century, aren't there still so many people who like to take advantage of small things?

Thinking of this, Li Polu couldn't help but think with evil humor that it was fortunate that there was no northern Myanmar group in this era. Otherwise, with Yan Bugui's character of taking advantage of others, he would definitely have been given two kidneys for nothing.

If you meet a master of success studies or micro-study, you will be cheated to the point of losing everything.
