Siheyuan: Domineering life

The height is not cold.

People without friends are the loneliest.

Especially people at Yang Jun's level, there are very few who are true friends.

The higher you stand, the lonelier you feel.

If there are no friends anymore, what's the point of standing high.

Yang Jun was in a high position and could not make many close friends. Therefore, he cared very much about Wang Erwa, his life and death brother. He had been managing this relationship very carefully for so many years.

He and Wang Erwa are not an ordinary brotherly relationship. Their relationship has already transcended life and death and reached another level of sublimation. Over the years, the two of them have gone through ups and downs in the fight, and their originally close relationship has become more and more intense. As time goes by, the relationship between the two is very good, even to the point where they can give everything to each other.

Yang Jun treated Wang Erwa as a brother, and his business was Yang Jun's business, so that Yang Jun only intervened in his and Linda's relationship.

All this he did was for Wang Erwa. Linda's special status meant that they could never get married. As long as they didn't get married, they could do whatever they wanted.

Therefore, Yang Jun turned a blind eye to the fact that Wang Erwa secretly brought Linda back from abroad. If Wang Erwa hadn't revealed it while drinking, Yang Jun might never have mentioned it in his life.

The next morning, Yang Jun dragged his heavy legs home lazily.

Last night, the two of them were so crazy that they drank five bottles of white wine in a row and almost vomited their intestines. If they hadn't woken up in time, the security guard might have sent them to the hospital.

"Uncle Yang, are you still going out today?"

On the way, I met Sun Zhaocai and said hello.

This guy was shirtless in the winter, wearing only big pants and slippers, looking carefree.

He had just come back from buying breakfast outside, carrying a bundle of fried dough sticks in his hand, and his mouth was full of oil stains.

When Yang Jun saw this, he couldn't help but rolled his eyes.

"roll!"

When Sun Zhaocai heard this, instead of being angry, he was very happy and jumped up and down.

"Okay, then I will stay at home with my wife today and I won't go there."

Yang Jun looked like this, and it was obvious that he would go back to catch up on his sleep later. As long as Yang Jun didn't go out, they, the security guards, were free to make arrangements.

"Avoid the children when you are torturing your wife."

Seeing this guy grinning from ear to ear, Yang Jun couldn't help but remind him.

"You don't have to worry about this. I'll send all the children out later."

Sun Zhaocai shouted loudly while running towards his home, so that everyone in the whole community could hear him.

Seeing this, Yang Jun shook his head and smiled.

This guy has only three hobbies in his life, eating, beating children, torturing his wife, and he has no other hobbies.

Yang Jun went home with his hands behind his back. Just as he turned the corner, he almost killed someone.

Yang Jun took a closer look and saw that it was Yi Qiushui.

"What are we doing here in broad daylight? We're scared to death." Yang Jun covered his chest and pretended to be scared.

Yi Qiushui put her hands behind her back and looked at him with a smile on her face.

"You let Zhaocai torture your wife at home, what are you going to do at home?"

When Yang Jun heard this, he waved his hands repeatedly: "Don't worry, I don't have such perverted hobbies. We are all civilized people. We won't do anything at the entrance of Junzi's cave."

"Bah, who is a civilized person like you? I think you are scared, right?" Yi Qiushui chuckled.

When Yang Jun heard this, his face darkened.

Men hate being told no.

"You bitches, who are you scared of? Didn't I just say that you won't do anything at the entrance of Junzi's cave?"

"It's obvious that he doesn't speak with his hands..."

As soon as Yi Qiushui finished speaking, her face turned red and her pink fists danced wildly.

"You want to die, you can even say this."

"Hey, it's still too late for you to surrender. If you surrender, you will lose half the battle." Yang Jun said with a smile.

"Whoever surrenders will be the grandson. I won't go to work today. I will sacrifice my life at home to accompany you."

Yi Qiushui walked around behind him and jumped on Yang Jun's back.

"Whoever is cowardly is the grandson."

Afterwards, the two of them happily returned to the old house.

I locked the door and was about to go back to the backyard for a while, but suddenly the phone rang.

Yi Qiushui frowned, then reluctantly got off Yang Jun to answer the phone.

When she came back from the study, her face became particularly ugly.

"Husband, something happened..."

……

Half an hour later, Yang Jun and Yi Qiushui arrived at the military compound.

The car parked in front of Guo Caocao's former home.

Looking from a distance, the doorway is all plain and the outside of the courtyard is a sea of ​​white.

Yi Qiushui staggered in with tears in her cheeks.

Sun Zhaodi and Ding Erzhu followed closely behind her.

Yang Jun sighed and followed.

As soon as you enter the door of the living room, a huge black and white photo comes into view.

The face of a young and slightly mature young man above looked so familiar. His small eyes were focused, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he was looking ahead with a half-smile.

Yang Jun also didn't expect that Guo Tianming would be hanging on the wall at such a young age.

Just the day before yesterday, he had been on the phone with Yang Jun. Unexpectedly, it only lasted two days before the two of them were separated forever.

There were several thin figures kneeling at the altar table in the living room. Guo Tianming's four children were kneeling there in sackcloth and wailing. Ding Qiunan's face was pale, sitting there motionless as if he had lost his soul. As for Aunt Guo, her face was numb. , holding the portrait of Guo Tianming motionless with dull eyes.

"aunt!"

Yi Qiushui cried bitterly and fell into Aunt Guo's arms.

Aunt Guo heard the cry and became slightly conscious. She lowered her head and glanced at Yi Qiushui in her arms.

His lips moved, but no sound came out, and tears couldn't stop flowing down his face.

"My poor child."

Aunt Guo screamed in pain, then hugged Yi Qiushui tightly and cried bitterly.

Yang Jun sighed.

He didn't go over, but went straight out of the living room.

There were people inside and outside the yard. They were all relatives and friends of the Guo family, and some were former colleagues of Guo Caochao.

When something like this happens, they all come over to visit and help.

"Brother Junzi."

As soon as Yang Jun lit up a cigarette, he heard someone calling him.

Looking back, it turned out to be Zhong Yuemin.

At this moment, Zhong Yuemin's eyes were red and he looked at Yang Jun sadly.

Since Wang Guozheng's death, Zhong Yuemin has changed his family to hang out with Guo Tianming. In the past two years, I heard that he has been doing well in Hong Kong City and has bought several large villas. It is said that his net worth has exceeded [-] million.

Seeing Zhong Yuemin, Yang Jun said solemnly: "Follow me."

After speaking, Yang Jun took Zhong Yuemin around the house and came to the backyard garden.

There's no one here, just the two of them.

As soon as he stood up, Yang Jun slapped Zhong Yuemin in the face.

"Is this how you protect Tianming?"

When Zhong Yuemin was hanging out with Guo Tianming, Yang Jun told him that it was okay to hang out with him, but he must ensure his safety, and he could communicate with him at any time if he had anything to do.

In the beginning, Zhong Yuemin often called him to report Guo Tianming's every move in Hong Kong City. Later, as time went by, the number of calls became less and less, and later, there was no news at all.

"Brother Junzi, I'm sorry for you. I failed to protect Tianming. Please punish me."

After saying that, Zhong Yuemin burst into tears, and then knelt directly in front of Yang Jun.

Yang Jun kicked him away.

"What's the point of me punishing you? Will you be alive at dawn?"

"I'm sorry, Brother Junzi. It's all my fault. I didn't protect Tianming well. Just beat me to death."

The more Zhong Yuemin begged for mercy, the harder Yang Jun kicked him.

Guo Tianming was gone, how could he explain to Uncle Guo?

Before his death, Uncle Guo repeatedly told him to protect Guo Tianming, but not even two years after Uncle Guo left, Guo Tianming also followed him.

Yang Jun felt sorry for Uncle Guo and failed to take good care of Guo Tianming for him. He would have no face to see Uncle Guo in the future.

"Why do not you go to hell?"

"Why didn't you die?"

"..."

Yang Jun kicked and scolded.

He poured out all the anger in his heart on Zhong Yuemin.

After kicking and beating for ten minutes, Yang Jun finally got tired.

He sat down on the ground, lit a cigarette and started smoking.

Zhong Yuemin huddled on the ground with a bruised nose and swollen face, looking at Yang Jun with a painful look on his face.

"Tell me, how did Tianming die?"

Yang Jun took two puffs of cigarette and asked calmly.

After venting, he calmed down.

Now even if Zhong Yuemin is beaten to death, Guo Tianming will not survive.

What we need to do now is not to pursue the responsibility, but to think about revenge for Guo Tianming.

Zhong Yuemin groaned in pain, then forced himself to sit up.

He first wiped away the blood on the tip of his nose with his sleeve, and then said: "Brother Junzi, let me tell you something you don't like to hear. In fact, Tianming's death cannot be blamed on anyone else but himself."

"Huh?" Yang Jun looked at him angrily.

When Zhong Yuemin saw this, he thought Yang Jun was going to hit him again, so he was so frightened that he quickly raised his hands to protect his head.

After a long while, seeing that Yang Jun didn't move, he put down his hand.

"Brother Junzi, logically I shouldn't say that about Tianming, but...we can't stand the things he did. It can be said that he deserves his own fault for what he ended up with today."

"Tell me, what's going on?" Yang Jun shouted.

Zhong Yuemin was startled and did not dare to delay. He calmed down his emotions a little and continued,
  "In the past two years, Tianming has expanded. With the money in his hands, he has been living and drinking everywhere. At first, he only played in dance halls and clubs. Later, they could no longer satisfy him, so he began to look for young and beautiful girls everywhere, and even He also set up a film and television company to look for young and beautiful female stars. As long as he liked them, they would be taken back to play with them. When they got tired of playing, they would throw them away and then look for them again."

"That's all he had fun with. At worst, he could just give him more money, but...but then he started to torture those girls, with whips, handcuffs, uniforms, etc. The harder he tortured, the happier he was..."

"Among them... there were several girls who were tortured to the point of being sent to the hospital. Their families also had troubles, and they all settled with money."

"No, there was a girl who couldn't stand the torture anymore. When she resisted, she accidentally killed Tian Ming..."

"Brother Junzi, that's what happened. It's not that I blame myself for not protecting him, it's because we weren't allowed to be there when they did it in the morning." Zhong Yuemin said with a grimace. After listening to Zhong Yuemin’s narrative, Yang Jun understood the process and reasons for Guo Tianming’s death.

Zhong Yuemin is right, Guo Tianming's death cannot be blamed on anyone else, it is entirely his own fault.

Guo Tianming eventually died on the woman.

Regarding his death, Yang Jun was surprised and seemed to be expected.

Just have fun, why are you so perverted?
  Men can be scumbags, they can deny money, they can be shameless, but they are not as tormenting as you.

Isn't this too much? Is your life in vain?
  Therefore, people do not have to be arrogant just because they have money.

Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you have a few dirty dollars. You've almost tortured people to death. How can they not resist?

After hearing the cause of Guo Tianming's death, Yang Jun no longer had the original desire to avenge Guo Tianming.

People can be selfish, but they cannot be unreasonable.

To put it bluntly, if he were that woman, he would definitely kill Guo Tianming.

Seeing Yang Jun smoking a cigarette and saying nothing, Zhong Yuemin continued,
  "The girl has been taken away for murder. Brother Junzi, do you think I should say hello over there?"

When Yang Jun heard this, he felt angry with pain.

He kicked Zhong Yuemin as soon as he stood up. Once again, he was kicked to the point where his legs were in the air.

"People are already pitiful enough, and you want to push them to death. Are you still a human being?"

Yang Jun kicked his legs repeatedly, while Zhong Yuemin kept rolling and howling.

"You guys are the ones who led Tian Ming to bad things. If you try to persuade him, will he end up like this?"

"You still have the nerve to say that you have tried your best? Is this how you try your best?"

Zhong Yuemin didn't dare to talk back, so he could only hold his head tightly.

After playing for a while, Yang Jun was tired.

Panting, he said, "Let's stop this matter. Don't interfere in the rest of the matter."

"The most important thing to do now is to deal with Tianming's funeral, do you hear me?"

"I know, Brother Jun."

Zhong Yuemin said with red eyes.

Yang Jun was really cruel. His bones felt like they were falling apart and the pain was unbearable.

After Yang Jun finished speaking, he stopped talking to him and went directly to the front.

Returning to the front yard, he first chatted with Guo Caochao's old comrades and colleagues for a while.

In fact, everyone knew the cause of Guo Tianming's death, so they consciously did not discuss the cause of Guo Tianming's death, but discussed how to handle the funeral arrangements.

Guo Tianming's way of death can be said to be the most shameful way of death. The old Guo family has been completely disgraced. Guo Caochang has been a wise man all his life. How can he have such a bastard son to carry such a burden after death? Everyone is feeling sad for Guo Caocao.

However, due to the reputation of being neighbors for many years, everyone kept silent about this matter.

Yang Jun and several seniors sat together to discuss Guo Tianming's funeral.

Many seniors suggested that Guo Tianming's funeral should be handled as quickly as possible to minimize this negative impact.

Yang Jun felt that what they said was reasonable, so he simply set the burial date for the next day.

Guo Tianming's death also affected him to some extent. After all, he was Yang Jun's brother-in-law. If this matter spread, his face would be tarnished.

Once Guo Tianming died, only women and children were left in the Guo family, and only Yang Jun had the final say in his affairs.

After discussion, it was decided to cremate and bury him tomorrow to minimize the impact of this incident on the Yang Guo family.

After the discussion, Yang Jun left the matter to Zhong Yuemin, and he came to the mourning hall.

At this moment, there were only four children, Ding Qiunan and Guo Tianming, in the mourning hall. They were still kneeling there to keep vigil, but Aunt Guo and Yi Qiushui were not seen.

Yang Jun stood for a moment, then went straight to the second floor.

In the bedroom on the second floor, Yang Jun saw Yi Qiushui and Aunt Guo as expected.

However, Aunt Guo's mental state is very bad now. She is lying on the bed, her eyes are dull, and there are two lines of tears hanging on her face. She is lying there motionless.

Yi Qiushui sat on the bedside to accompany her.

They didn't say anything, they just sat there motionless.

After Yang Jun entered, Yi Qiushui raised her head and glanced at him, then continued to lower her head and cry.

Upon seeing this, Yang Jun knew that it was definitely not the best time to talk about Tianming's future generations, but he had to talk about it because it was never a good time to talk about it.

Her husband is gone, and now her son is gone too. One can imagine the psychological shock to Aunt Guo.

Yang Jun sighed and told her Guo Tianming's funeral.

After hearing this, Aunt Guo suddenly burst into tears, her tears flowing down uncontrollably.

I cried for a long time before calming down.

"Jun'er, my aunt's life is hard."

After saying that, he hugged Yi Qiushui and cried again.

Yang Jun patted her shoulder and comforted her: "Aunt Guo, I know you are feeling sad now, but you still have to do what you need to do. If you don't mind, I will take care of Tianming's funeral, right?"

Aunt Guo cried for a while and waved her hands feebly: "You can figure it out yourself. Don't ask about everything."

"Okay, that's what I'll do."

Yang Jun sighed and prepared to go out.

"Army."

Yang Jun turned around and said, "Aunt Guo, do you have any other instructions?"

Aunt Guo had tears on her face: "How is that girl doing now?"

Yang Jun was shocked when he heard this.

Thinking that Aunt Guo wanted to avenge Guo Tianming, she suddenly felt bad.

"The girl has been taken away now. If nothing else happens..."

Yang Jun didn't say the rest, believing that Aunt Guo knew the consequences.

No matter what the reason was, if someone is killed, the girl will definitely not be able to escape unscathed.

"Jun'er, I didn't mean that." Aunt Guo shook her head.

"Then who are you?"

Aunt Guo said with tears: "I don't blame her for Tianming's death. She is also a child who has suffered a lot. If possible, I hope you can help that girl and try not to let him suffer."

When Yang Jun heard this, he was inexplicably moved in his heart.

He didn't expect Aunt Guo to be so generous. Instead of avenging her son, she instead interceded for the murderer.

Anyone else would definitely not have such a big heart.

"Aunt Guo, I know what to do."

After Yang Jun finished speaking, he bowed to him: "Then thank you for that girl."

Upon hearing this, Aunt Guo closed her eyes in pain, and tears instantly burst into her eyes.

She was in great pain inside.

She felt sorry for her son and wanted to avenge him, but in the end she did not lose her mind and decided to help the girl.

When Yang Jun saw this, he was also sighing.

Having known Aunt Guo for such a long time, he always thought that she was just an ordinary woman and a mother who protected her young. Only today did he realize that Aunt Guo was far greater than he imagined.

He did not choose to avenge his son but instead helped his murderer. It would have been difficult for anyone else to do it.

Yang Jun nodded slightly and then went downstairs.

Guo Tianming only stayed at home for one day and went to the field the next day.

Yang Jun bought him a five-acre cemetery in the suburbs, where there are mountains, rivers and beautiful scenery.

In any case, he is also a rich man, and his funeral cannot be too shabby.

After the burial, Yang Jun also had the entire cemetery renovated and renovated. The cemetery was built according to the standards of Yangzhai, and he also hired people to take care of the cemetery.

But no matter how well he did afterwards, he couldn't exchange for Guo Tianming's life.

His cemetery looks very luxurious, even larger than the cemetery of his father Guo Caocao.

But what can that do?
  One was buried in Babao Mountain, and the other was buried in an unknown hillside. One was respected by future generations, and the other was stabbed in the spine after his death. The treatment of the two was quite different, which is really embarrassing.

The path you choose is yours, and the path you take has nothing to do with others.

Guo Tianming's journey in this life is over, but he still leaves people with things to talk about after dinner, which can be said to be notorious.

There is no way, you have chosen your own path, you can’t blame others.

Three days later, Yang Jun was called over by a phone call from Aunt Guo.

Yi Qiushui didn't follow this time because Aunt Guo specifically told her on the phone.

Arrive at Guo Caocao’s home in the military compound.

The house was deserted. Aunt Guo was the only one at home, while her daughter-in-law Ding Qiunan and several children were not at home.

"Jun'er, sit down."

Aunt Guo's expression was calm, and there were a few strands of white hair on her temples. She suddenly felt like she had aged more than ten years.

However, she wore clean clothes today and dressed up specially. Although she had put on makeup, she could still see a hint of sadness.

"Aunt Guo."

Yang Jun called out and sat down next to her.

"Aunt Guo, please show your condolences."

"Although Tianming is gone, there are still Qiunan and several children. You must not fail."

Aunt Guo smiled lightly when she heard this.

"Jun'er, you don't have to persuade me. Aunt Guo won't be confused, so don't worry."

The more she said this, the more worried Yang Jun became.

No mother can be so calm when faced with the pain of losing a child.

He was still a little worried about Aunt Guo.

"Aunt Guo, you called me here today. Do you have something to explain?"

Yang Jun said: "Oh, don't worry, I have already said hello to the port city and hired the best lawyer for the girl. I believe she will come out in a few years."

After hearing this, Aunt Guo nodded, and then said with a smile: "If you do this, I will feel relieved."

"But that's not why I called you here today."

Speaking of this, Aunt Guo suddenly paused, with a look of pain and embarrassment on her face.

After a long while, he made up his mind and said, "I want to see the women and children of your Uncle Guo."

"Aunt Guo, this..."

Seeing Yang Jun's hesitant look, Aunt Guo smiled and said, "Don't tell me you don't know. I don't want to hear your prevarications."

"I have spent a lifetime with your Uncle Guo, and I know him best. When he was dying, he must have entrusted this matter to you."

When Yang Jun heard this, he hesitated.

"Aunt Guo, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but Uncle Guo had his last words before his death. He said that he had already been very sorry for you in this life, and he didn't want to add salt to your wounds."
