Siheyuan: The Era of Struggle

Chapter 335 Li Erlengzi
When He Yushui heard Qiu Peng say that he wanted to find the police, he finally came back to his senses from his shock.

Ever since He Yuanchao retired and returned home, He Yushui can clearly feel the changes in his life.

Not only did her neighbors become friendlier to her, but she herself also gradually developed a sense of reliance.

Now, because of this small matter of hers, her second uncle is really going to be implicated. He Yushui can't accept it no matter what.

"Qiu Peng, don't report it to the police. We can compensate you if my second uncle beat you. If you are not satisfied, we can discuss any requests you have."

He Yushui stepped forward, grabbed He Yuanchao's arm and pulled him back, while pleading with Qiu Peng in tears.

hiss~~
Qiu Peng covered his swollen face, a thin slit appeared at the corner of his mouth as he breathed in the cold air. He looked at He Yushui who had finished speaking and said disdainfully:

"Compensation... compensation. My... my family needs your little melons and little dates! Hiss~~"

After saying this, Qiu Peng saw that He Yushui gave in so quickly and He Yuanchao stood aside without saying a word. He thought he had found the weak spot of the uncle and nephew, so he forgot about the slap he had just received and unscrupulously stated the condition of not pursuing the matter.

"You can ask me not to report to the police, but only if you agree to be my partner."

Ever since he traveled through time, He Yuanchao has been adhering to the principle of planting more flowers and fewer thorns in his life and work in order to cope with the upcoming ten years. As long as there is no irreconcilable conflict, he will try his best to leave a way out for the other party and not do things to the extreme.

Seeing Qiu Peng being so shameless, he no longer suppressed himself and wanted to do what he wanted.

As soon as Qiu Peng finished speaking, before He Yushui could respond, He Yuanchao had already broken free.

He took a step forward, and without saying a word, he slapped Qiu Peng on the other side of his face again.

Not satisfied after this beating, He Yuanchao kicked Qiu Peng down again and started to beat him up on the part of his body that felt the most pain.

"Help...Help...Help! Someone is killing someone..."

Qiu Peng, who was kicked down, rolled on the ground holding his head to avoid He Yuanchao's size 43 feet, while howling for help.

Seeing this scene, He Yushui, who was originally just shedding tears, now cried out loud in anxiety.

She came behind He Yuanchao, stretched out her hands to hug her second uncle's waist, and dragged him backwards with all her strength.

"Uncle, please stop fighting. It's not worth getting yourself involved for such a small matter."

Feeling his niece's body trembling as she spoke, He Yuanchao knew that she was frightened, so he quickly stopped what he was doing, turned around, patted her shoulder and comforted her:
"It's okay, Yushui. This is a new society. It won't be a problem for Second Uncle to take care of this scoundrel no matter which government office he goes to."

It is said that people should not be pushed into a corner, otherwise they will do anything.

Hearing He Yuanchao say the word "smelly hooligan", He Yushui, who had been worried and anxious and had no idea what to do, suddenly had an idea and leaned over to look at Qiu Peng who was still lying on the ground wailing and said:
"Call the police! If you dare to call the police, I will say that you teased me and behaved like a hooligan to me."

He Yushui's words made Qiu Peng's cry for help stop abruptly. He let go of his hands holding his head and said in a panic:
"Don't talk nonsense. I'm just dating you. When did I ever act rude to you?"

After finally finding a way to prevent her second uncle from being implicated, He Yushui also took the risk. She walked from He Yuanchao to Qiu Peng who was lying on the ground and said:

"If I say yes, then yes. You are just molesting me and being rude to me."

"You are talking nonsense. When did I molest you? I have never laid hands on you."

Hearing He Yushui accuse him of being a hooligan, Qiu Peng was so angry that he didn't care about the pain all over his body. He struggled to sit up, pointed at He Yushui and retorted angrily.

"You keep pestering me and saying nonsense to me every day. If that's not being a hooligan, what is that?"

"I was pursuing you, how can you say I was being a hooligan?"

"I don't agree with you but you still harass me. You are just being a hooligan."

...He Yushui and Qiu Peng, one standing with tears on his face, and the other sitting on the ground in a mess, arguing fiercely.

He Yuanchao on the side tried to speak several times, but was stopped by his niece He Yushui. He watched helplessly as the two of them kept talking about the same things.

He Yuanchao understood that He Yushui was afraid that he would be implicated and wanted to remove himself from the matter. She had good intentions, and he didn't want to refuse his niece's kindness.

It's also a good opportunity to let her experience the ghost tricks in society in advance and gain some experience in dealing with such things. Anyway, my niece won't suffer any harm with me around.

……

Although it was class time at the school and the place they found was remote, the noise from their quarrel was so loud that it eventually attracted the school staff.

When He Yushui once again accused Qiu Peng of being a hooligan with reason and evidence, without waiting for Qiu Peng to respond, an angry voice came from not far away from the three of them.

"Which bastard dares to act like a hooligan in school? I'll crush his balls."

As the cursing sounded, a dark-faced middle-aged man about forty years old, about the same height as He Yuanchao, ran up to the three people quickly.

The man was wearing a Type 55 military uniform that had faded from washing. He had thick eyebrows, small eyes, a bulbous nose, and a face full of flesh.

He first looked at Qiu Peng, who was sitting on the ground with a bruised face, then looked at He Yushui, who was shouting that he was being played by a hooligan, and finally set his sights on He Yuanchao, who was wearing a Type 58 woolen military coat.

The first two look familiar, they should be students of the school. I have never seen the one wearing a woolen military coat before. He doesn’t look like a teacher, but more like a kid from a courtyard who is always disobedient.

With a basic judgment, the man stopped wasting time and asked He Yuanchao in a stern tone:

"Who are you? What do you do? What are you doing here in our school? Are you being a hooligan?"

Hearing so many questions from the man, He Yushui came over and explained without waiting for He Yuanchao to speak: "Chief Li, you misunderstood. This man is my second uncle, not a hooligan."

As he spoke, He Yushui pointed at Qiu Peng on the ground and said with gritted teeth, "It was him. He was the one who acted like a hooligan to me."

It is said that women are born good actors! As soon as He Yushui finished speaking, tears immediately flowed down the corners of her eyes.

"I didn't do anything rude, it was his second uncle who beat me up. Chief Li, don't be fooled by her, you have to seek justice for me!"

"Shut up."

After listening to Qiu Peng's words, Section Chief Li frowned and scolded him. Then, his face showed an expression that showed he had seen everything clearly. He said:
"It's you, kid! You're such a scoundrel all day long. I've seen that you're not a good person. Come on, follow me to the school security department."

Section Chief Li did not give Qiu Peng a chance to speak. He took two steps forward, pulled Qiu Peng up from the ground, and said to He Yuanchao and He Yushui, uncle and nephew:

"You two are the parties involved, so come with me to the security department."

Qiu Peng was probably anxious because he was wrongly accused, or because Section Chief Li's excessive movements had touched a sore spot on his body. As soon as he was pulled to his feet, he started to curse:
"Li Erlangzi, I was wrongly accused. I didn't do anything rude. Why the hell did you arrest me?"

Section Chief Li does not have as good a temper as He Yuanchao. When he heard Qiu Peng not only calling him by his nickname but also speaking in a motherly way, he could not tolerate him.

With a glare, he casually slapped Qiu Peng in the face with a big ear stick, "Watch your mouth, kid. It's not up to you to decide whether you are a hooligan or not. It will only count after we investigate.

Besides, it's unlucky enough that a pure and innocent girl would wrongly accuse a rotten fish like you! "

Section Chief Li is a stubborn person, and he is a bit aggressive. He never cares about the severity of his actions.

Qiu Peng's head was buzzing from the slap, and he also remembered Section Chief Li's usual behavior. In order not to suffer physical pain again, he dared not get angry again and let Section Chief Li drag him to the school security department.

Upon seeing this, uncle and nephew He Yuanchao and He Yushui looked at each other without saying a word, then followed Chief Li and Qiu Peng in tacit understanding.
