Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 374 Blackmailed
After seeing off the three foreigners, Yan Jiekuang called Ji Lian and asked where the children were. Ji Lian said that the children had gone on an autumn outing to Jingshan Park with their teachers. Because Xiaohai and Xixi were there, Tian Guixiang was worried and went with them.

When Yan Jiekuang thought of the children, he wanted to make a dessert for them. After thinking about it, he remembered the fresh coconuts that Xiaobao had asked his apprentice to send him a few days ago, so he went to get some and prepared to make a pigeon glass cake.

While Yan Jiekuang was busy, the children had already finished their day's trip and were heading towards school under the guidance of their teacher. Halfway there, Tian Guixiang hurried over and caught up with the teacher, wanting to take Xiaohai and Xixi back with her. The teacher also knew Tian Guixiang, so she agreed. Afterwards, she also picked up Dapang, Xiaopang and Shi Li, and the group headed towards Yuer Hutong.

Xiaopang was an active person, or as the saying went at the time, a little hyperactive. He was skipping and jumping in front with an ice cream in his hand, walking backwards. When he passed a three-way intersection, an accident happened. Several young men came from the side, with permed hair, wearing sunglasses, bell-bottom pants and floral shirts.

Xiao Pang bumped into the young man who hit him on the head, and the ice cream was thrown at that person. That person pushed Xiao Pang to the ground, cursing at him. Tian Guixiang ran over, helped Xiao Pang up, and kept looking at him, saying, "How is it, Xiao Pang? Did you fall? Where did you hit?"

Xiao Pang was pushed to the ground and was a little dazed at first. After he stood up, he felt a little pain in his knees. But seeing Tian Guixiang's nervous look, he pretended to be calm and said, "I'm fine, Aunt Tian, ​​I didn't get bumped, I just fell down."

Tian Guixiang protected Xiangpang and the other children behind her and said angrily, "How can you be so uncultured? Can't you see that he is just a child?"

The young man who was leading the group said, "Oh, you bumped into me and said I have no manners, who the hell are you?" Then he rushed towards Tian Guixiang. At this time, the fat guy shouted, "Someone is hitting someone, another hooligan is hitting someone."

The other young people were stunned for a moment. Now many neighbors in the alley came out and slowly surrounded them. Those people grabbed the leading young man. Everyone was attracted by the noise of Tian Guixiang and the group of young people. Xiao Hai rolled his eyes and turned and ran away.

The young man in the lead said, "Old lady, do you know how much my clothes cost? Okay, I was wrong to push the child down. I apologize. If you compensate me for the clothes, I will apologize."

Tian Guixiang was unhappy when she heard this and said, "Can't your clothes be washed? They are not dirty things, they are just popsicles. Can't they be washed?"

"I don't know how to wash clothes. What should I do? No matter what, I have to pay you. I bought this dress in Hong Kong Island. One thousand Hong Kong dollars, pay me back." The young man said arrogantly.

When Tian Guixiang heard this, she said, "You are extorting money. What kind of clothes are worth a thousand dollars? In Hong Kong dollars? Have you ever seen money?"

The two people started arguing, and the young man's friends nearby also helped to argue with Tian Guixiang. The neighbors who were watching also saw that these young people were being shameless and blackmailing Tian Guixiang, so they also pointed fingers and helped Tian Guixiang.

After a while, Yan Jiekuang was led over by Xiao Hai. Yan Jiekuang pushed through the crowd and came to Tian Guixiang to ask about the situation. Yan Jiekuang looked at the young man with annoyance and said, "Why do you want us to pay for it? Okay, take off your clothes. I'll buy it."

The man was stunned. He didn't expect that a more difficult person would come and ask him to take off his clothes. In public, he knew shame, but the words had already been said, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Where's the money?"

Yan Jiekuang took out a thousand Hong Kong dollars from his bag and handed it to the young man. The young man took the money and smiled happily. At this time, Yan Jiekuang's cold voice came from the side and said, "Don't try to run, or I will break your legs."

The young man shuddered and looked up at Yan Jiekuang. Yan Jiekuang slapped the Huanggang marble lion next to him, and the nearly one and a half meter tall lion instantly turned into rubble.

The group of young people were instantly stunned, not daring to move. Yan Jiekuang said coldly: "Take it off."

The young man who was looking for trouble took off his shirt tremblingly, and then tried to escape quickly. Just as he was about to turn around, Yan Jiekuang said coldly: "I'll compensate you for your clothes on behalf of my son. Now tell me about how you pushed my son down?"

The young man dared not move or speak. Yan Jiekuang pulled Xiao Pang over and rolled up his trouser legs. Both of his knees were torn and bleeding. Yan Jiekuang said, "You saw that your torn clothes are worth one thousand Hong Kong dollars. Now my son's knees are torn. How much do you think they are worth?"

A young man at the back slowly turned around and tried to leave the place. As soon as he turned around, a stone flew over and hit the back of his neck. He fell to the ground and fainted. Yan Jiekuang said, "I told you, it's not that easy to leave. Tell me, how much do you want to pay?"

The young man was trembling and speechless. He was now regretting his actions. He stood there shirtless. Yan Jiekuang said, "How about this? 50,000 per knee. I don't want Hong Kong dollars, just RMB. You two decide who will go to get the money."

The crowd was in an uproar. Several young people were frightened and two of them were already crying. One hundred thousand was an astronomical figure. In this era when even people with an annual income of ten thousand yuan were rare, who had ever seen so much money?

They couldn't run away, and they couldn't take the money out. In an instant, several people collapsed. Yan Jiekuang still said coldly: "Hurry up, otherwise, I can break both your legs. It's your choice." As he said that, Yan Jiekuang picked up a stick as thick as a bowl from the side and slowly walked towards the group of people.

The young man who was leading the trouble said quickly: "Wait, my dad is a policeman, I'll go find my dad now." "You can't leave, find someone else to go. Don't say your dad is a policeman, even if he is the king of heaven, I will break his legs." Yan Jiekuang said.

"San'er, go find my parents and tell them that I'm in trouble and they want money." When the man saw this, he turned around and said to someone else. The man called San'er turned around and ran away. Yan Jiekuang didn't stop him. He turned around and said to Tian Guixiang, "You take the children back. Xiaopang stay."

The children were also frightened by their father and followed Tian Guixiang obediently. Only Xiaopang had an excited look on his face.

Yan Jiekuang just stood there, staring at the group of people. They didn't dare to move, for fear that the stones would hit them.

After nearly half an hour, the sound of bicycle bells was heard in the distance. A path was separated in the crowd and seven or eight people came, mostly middle-aged. The leader was wearing a police uniform and had a heroic look in his brows.

Yan Jiekuang was still standing there, and the policeman asked, "My friend, this kid is my son. If you have any problem, tell me. It's his fault, and he should apologize."

"Oh, okay, then you should find out about it first, and then we can talk about the issue of compensation." Yan Jiekuang led Xiaopang to stand there.

Several middle-aged men walked over, and the policeman slapped the young man on the face and said, "Everyone is here, tell us." The young man seemed very afraid of his father, and did not dare to make up a lie in front of Yan Jiekuang, so he told everything.

Although the other middle-aged people felt that Yan Jiekuang's behavior was embarrassing, the fault lay with these people, so they were all educating their own children.

The policeman walked up to Yan Jiekuang, and before he could say anything, Yan Jiekuang squatted down and rolled up Xiao Pang's trouser legs to let the policeman see, then stood up and said, "A shirt cost me one thousand yuan, and Hong Kong dollars. How many families have Hong Kong dollars nowadays? Fortunately, I have some. So how much is my son's knee worth? I don't want Hong Kong dollars, RMB will do."

The policeman didn't know what to say either. He just handed the money to Yan Jiekuang, bowed to him, and said, "I'm sorry. As a father, I didn't educate my child well. What happened today is my child's fault. But you also know that we are both working people and we don't have much money at home. What do you think we should do?"

Yan Jiekuang took the money, looked at the young men and said, "Forget it. You have to pay for the medical expenses for what happened today. Although my child is a bit reckless, this is a three-way intersection and anyone could bump into anyone. Besides, he is still a child. Your kid is too arrogant and even extorts money from others. Shouldn't he be sent to prison for some education?"

The father gritted his teeth and said, "I will definitely educate him well. Don't worry, I will make him remember this time forever." He then took out a hundred yuan from his pocket and handed it to Yan Jiekuang, then said, "This is for the child's medical expenses. I'm sorry, this is all I have."

Yan Jiekuang looked at the sincere father in front of him, sighed, and said, "I don't want the money. I don't need this little money. But to be honest, if these children are not educated well, they will go astray sooner or later. Okay, I'm leaving too. You can take them home and educate them."

After saying that, Yan Jiekuang took Xiaopang away. The parents knew that he would not care, but Yan Jiekuang’s last words served as a reminder to the parents, and everyone took their children home.

As the little fat boy walked, he said, "Dad is so powerful. When I grow up, I will never bully the weak."

"Does it hurt? I'll apply some purple medicine on you when we get home. Fortunately, it's just a little skin breakage." Yan Jiekuang asked while touching Xiaopang's head.

"It doesn't hurt. It's just the beginning. I was caught off guard and was careless. Otherwise, he couldn't have hurt me." said Xiaopang.

Yan Jiekuang took Xiaopang home. Tian Guixiang felt relieved to see the father and son back. Then she took Xiaopang to her room and applied medicine to him.

Dapang asked his father what happened to those people in the end. Yan Jiekuang said, "Let them go. It depends on whether their parents will let them go. These unemployed vagrants have nothing to do all day long. They only know how to stir up trouble. Sooner or later, something will happen to them."

Big Fat ran to the front yard to see Little Fat, and then Shi Li, Xiao Hai and Xixi all ran to the front yard to see Little Fat.

Yan Jiekuang went to the kitchen. Today's incident made Yan Jiekuang more alert. The alley was a bit chaotic now, so if he had time, he would go to pick up the children himself.

In the evening, Yan Jiekuang prepared a table full of delicious dishes to calm the children, but Xixi said, "It would be great if Third Brother was pushed down every day, so we could eat delicious food every day." Yan Jiekuang was so angry that he glared at her.
