Siheyuan: Revenge of the Stupid Pillar

The next day, Liu Haizhong was officially appointed as the deputy captain of the patrol team.

Liu Haizhong instantly became stiff and acted like a leader. He was either scolding or berating someone all day long. He would even run up to and scold a dog that was peeing on the street.

In order to continue climbing up the ladder, Liu Haizhong bit people everywhere like a mad dog, and many people suffered as a result, either being criticized or having their homes searched.

He Yuzhu felt extremely ashamed about this and thought that it was an extremely wrong thing to arrange Liu Haizhong into the patrol team.

He often advised Liu Haizhong to be kinder, but Liu Haizhong turned a deaf ear to his words and even mocked his soft-heartedness.

……

Time flies. Amidst all the turmoil, four years have passed without us noticing.

During these four years, the political struggle became more brutal. Factories stopped production, schools were closed, and large numbers of intellectuals, cadres, and the masses were persecuted.

During these four years, many major events happened in Siheyuan.

First, the deaf old lady passed away at the age of 92.

Secondly, Yan Jiecheng and Bang Geng were both released from prison.

Once again, Xu Damao became the deputy captain of the patrol team.

Finally, He Yuzhu was promoted to director of the logistics department. After Ding Qiunan gave birth to a son for him, she gave birth to a daughter who was pregnant with another son.

After talking about the major events that happened in the courtyard, let’s talk about the changes in the main families in the courtyard.

Let’s talk about the Yi family first. No, there is no Yi family now. Yi Zhonghai was exiled to the Northwest and has not returned yet.

His wife Li Guifang had divorced him a long time ago. Since her divorce from Yi Zhonghai, Li Guifang has become very low-key. She never watches the excitement in the courtyard, and she never interferes with the affairs of the courtyard. She devotes herself to raising her adopted son Li Yongxiao.

Li Yongxiao was a very ambitious child. He graduated from Red Star Primary School with excellent grades and entered Red Star Middle School. Unfortunately, the educational front was greatly damaged, but he still did not give up and studied on his own every minute.

Li Guifang's act of adopting and caring for orphans on her own was praised by the street office, and the street office also called on everyone to learn from Li Guifang.

Liu family.

Ever since Liu Haizhong became the captain of the patrol team, the entire Liu family has become arrogant and domineering in the courtyard, and no one dares to mess with them.

Seeing that Liu Haizhong had become successful, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu no longer confronted him as they did before, but instead tried to please Liu Haizhong in various ways.

Liu Haizhong's vanity was greatly satisfied, and he no longer cared about the fact that his two sons had attacked him with a knife before. He even used his connections to recruit his two sons into the patrol team and made them his thugs.

Liu Guangtian still fell in love with Yu Haitang as he did in his previous life, but the divorced Yu Haitang still looked down on him.

Yu Haitang has now taken refuge with Li Huaide and is under his protection. Liu Guangtian does not dare to provoke her. In addition, Liu Haizhong does not want his son to marry a divorced woman, so Liu Guangtian is very depressed because he cannot get the love he wants.

Yan family.

Since the establishment of the G Committee, the system of compound administrators has disappeared from the historical stage, and Yang Ruihua no longer has the job of sweeping the compound.

Yang Ruihua had no choice but to go pick up trash with Yan Bugui.

Yan Bugui and his wife make a living by picking up garbage, and they live a very tight life.

After Yan Jiecheng was released from prison, he still couldn't find a wife. Seeing that he was still a bachelor at the age of 25, Yan Bugui and his wife were very anxious. They asked matchmakers to introduce Yan Jiecheng to a partner many times, but they were never successful.

This is not difficult to understand. After all, the Yan family is poor and has a bad reputation. Yan Jiefang has even been in jail. As long as the girl is not blind, she will look down on Yan Jiecheng.

The second son, Yan Jiefang, was sent to a rural area in northern Shaanxi. He worked hard in the fields with the villagers every day without even a moment to rest.

Northern Shaanxi is a loess plateau with poor soil. Even though Yan Jiefang worked hard on the farm, he often did not have enough to eat. He often wrote letters home to complain to Yan Bugui and his wife, asking Yan Bugui to send him money and food coupons.

Yan Bugui was a stingy person to begin with, and it was difficult for him to support Jie Kuang and Jie Di. How could he afford to help Yan Jiefang? He could only let Yan Jiefang fend for himself.

Yan Jiekuang and Yan Jiedi were extremely anxious when they saw what happened to their second brother. After all, they were almost sixteen years old.

Especially Yan Jiekuang, who turned sixteen the next year.

Note: The Up to the Mountains and Down to the Countryside Movement had clear age restrictions for participants, usually requiring them to be at least 16 years old. In some areas or periods, the age limit may be relaxed to 15 years old or the upper limit may be 25 years old.

Recently, Yan Jiekuang has been asking Yan Bugui to find him a job every day. As long as he has a job, he won't have to go to the countryside.

But because of the "Up to the Countryside and Mountain Areas" campaign, many parents were buying jobs for their children, and the price of a job was raised to a sky-high level. How could Yan Bugui afford it?

Perhaps Yan Bugui could afford a job even if he spent all his money, but he would not buy it. After all, he bought a job for Yan Jiekuang. If he didn't buy one for Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiedi, both of them would blame him.

But what he didn't expect was that all his children hated him later. Although he had many children and grandchildren in his later years, no one was willing to support him in his old age.

Xu family.

Ever since Xu Damao became the deputy captain of the patrol team, he has become even more high-profile than Liu Haizhong. He looks down on everyone, and naturally he looks down on the village girl Qin Jingru even more.

In addition, he and Qin Jingru had been married for several years, but Qin Jingru had not been able to give birth to a boy or a girl for him. This became the main topic of everyone's ridicule of him, and it undoubtedly became a thorn in Xu Damao's side.

Xu Damao almost hated Qin Jingru to death and tried every means to divorce her, but Qin Jingru just refused to divorce. No matter how Xu Damao beat and humiliated her, she gritted her teeth and refused to divorce. This immediately made Xu Damao lose his temper. He couldn't really beat Qin Jingru to death, could he?

Killing someone means paying with one's life. He has a bright future ahead of him and he doesn't want to be shot at such a young age.

Xu Damao had no choice but to go out and look for wild women. After several years of trying, no woman could conceive a child for him. Only then did he realize that the problem might be his own.

Xu Damao secretly went to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor told him that he was indeed infertile. Xu Damao suddenly lost all hope and his attitude towards Qin Jingru was not as bad as before.

Xu Damao was probably stimulated by the fact that he would never have children. His mind gradually became twisted, and he began to use his position as deputy captain of the patrol team to desperately punish those who had laughed at him.

He offended many people for this and was even beaten with a club. It took him a month to get out of bed and walk, but he refused to repent. After his injuries healed, his methods became even more brutal, and he intensified his punishment of others, making people hate and fear him.

In fact, the person Xu Damao most wanted to discipline was He Yuzhu. After all, He Yuzhu had achieved success in both love and career, which further highlighted the sadness of his life.

But He Yuzhu is Li Huaide's right-hand man, and his background is too strong, so he can't do anything about it. This is also what makes him feel most aggrieved.
