Courtyard House: Drunk and tipsy, the whole courtyard exposed at the start.

The cries of the pheasant were extremely shrill.

Qin Huairu then realized what was happening, rushed over and hugged her son, crying her heart out.

Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong also snapped out of their shock and quickly stepped forward to break up the fight.

"Stop it, all of you! What kind of behavior is this!" Yi Zhonghai, acting like an old man, tried to pull Qin Jingru away, but Liu Guangqi blocked him.

"This is outrageous! How dare you hit a child!" Liu Haizhong also shouted—he never expected that he was actually quite ruthless when he hit Guang Tianfu. The person in the entire hospital who had the least right to criticize others for hitting children was Liu Haizhong.

As for Yan Bugui?

He stood to the side, hands behind his back, muttering, "How could you hit someone? It's an insult to civility..."

Sha Zhu panicked and rushed out to protect Qin Huairu and Bang Geng, yelling at Qin Jingru.

"Jingru, Banggeng is practically your nephew, how could you be so ruthless?"

You're asking Sha Zhu to lay a hand on a woman, who's just a child. Even if Sha Zhu is a scoundrel, he couldn't bring himself to do it.

The neighbors in the courtyard were also talking about it, saying that Qin Jingru was too ruthless, slapping two back molars!

Qin Jingru looked at this group of people who were clearly taking sides, and she laughed in anger.

Xu Damao, Liu Guangqi, Yan Jiecheng, and others stepped forward and stood in the middle.

When women fight, Qin Jingru and Mu Wanqing don't suffer any losses, so they can remain silent.

But if you outnumber them and want to bully two little girls, then you're out of luck.

Those are Da Biao's family members; the brothers have to protect them.

Not only that, You Hongjuan, Yu Li, and Lou Xiao'e also stepped forward and surrounded the two women, seemingly with a protective intent.

But the three old men—mainly Yi Zhonghai—relentlessly pursued the matter, even threatening to send Qin Jingru to the police station. Jia Zhangshi was also there, wailing and crying, while Qin Jingru clung to Bang Geng, tears streaming down her face, and Bang Geng covered his cheeks, sobbing loudly.

Liu Haizhong had just wanted to indulge in his official ambitions when Liu Guangqi pulled him aside.

Xiao Dang, holding Huaihua's hand, hid far away at the front door and was so frightened that she cried.

Qin Jingru sneered. "So you're bullying the few because you have the numbers? You're going to send me to the police station, aren't you?" She turned and ran towards the alley entrance.

"You just wait!"

She ran to the post office, grabbed the phone, dialed directly to the Qinjiatun Brigade Headquarters, and then called Uncle Zhang Er in Zhangjiatun, Zhangzhen, Shunyi.

Over the phone, she tearfully recounted how the Jia family cursed Zhang Dabiao to death, how they wanted to exploit him, and how the people in the courtyard took sides against him.

Then she immediately stopped crying and went to the hospital with Mu Wanqing to continue taking care of Zhang Dabiao. With Xu Damao and the others watching over the house in the courtyard, Jia Zhangshi didn't dare break down the door. After all, she had already been to prison once, and she knew Zhang Dabiao never held back when dealing with her.

------------

The next morning, just as dawn was breaking.

While the people in the courtyard were still asleep, the gate was kicked open with a loud bang.

Zhang Maoshan, Zhang Maosheng, Qin Dashan, and Qin Dahe, four tall and strong men with fierce expressions, stormed in like four iron towers.

Without saying a word, they went straight to the Jia family's main courtyard and the Jia family's passageway in the front courtyard.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

With a few kicks, the already dilapidated wooden door and windows of the Jia family's two rooms, along with the plaster on the wall next to the frame, were smashed to pieces, with pieces of wood and bricks flying everywhere.

"Who is it! Who the hell is it!" Jia Zhangshi's howl came from inside the house.

Upon hearing the commotion, Yi Zhonghai rushed out, throwing on his clothes, and stood in front of the burly men, his face grim as he reprimanded them, "Who is it? Who is it? Is there no law? Is there no justice?!"

But upon closer inspection of the person in question, Yi Zhonghai immediately panicked.

Qin Huairu's father and second uncle from the Qin family, and Zhang Dabiao's two cousins ​​from the Zhang family.

Zhang Maoshan, Zhang Dabiao's cousin, was a guy who had never lost a fight in the village, and he didn't even lift his eyelids.

He raised his leg and kicked Yi Zhonghai squarely in the stomach.

"Thump!"

Yi Zhonghai was kicked away like a tattered sack, crashing into the corner of the yard where they were shaking coal briquettes, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Before he could get up, several other men surrounded him and started punching and kicking him.

"Old man, so your name is Yi Zhonghai, right?"

"My brother is in the hospital, and you, as a grown man, not only don't say a word of justice, but you even dare to take sides?"

"Today I'll show you what the law really is!"

Everyone in the courtyard was terrified by the scene, hiding behind doors and windows, not daring to even breathe loudly.

Inside the house, Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu were terrified.

Qin Dashan, Banggeng's maternal grandfather and Qin Huairu's biological father, pulled the newly emerged Banggeng out of the water.

"You little brat! You even dared to eat your Uncle Biao's childless offspring! I'll break your legs today!"

He unbuckled his leather belt and began to whip the stick from head to toe.

"Slap! Slap! Slap!"

The sound of a belt striking flesh sends chills down your spine.

The stick was beaten until it howled and rolled on the ground.

"Dad! Stop hitting him! Stop hitting him!" Qin Huairu knelt on the ground, hugging Qin Dashan's legs and kowtowing, begging for mercy. "I'm begging you! He's just a child!"

Madam Jia was terrified. She scrambled to hide under the bed, covered her head with the blanket, and trembled like a leaf, not daring to utter a sound.

After a brutal beating, the area in front of the Jia family's house was a mess. Yi Zhonghai lay groaning in a coal pile in the corner, while Bang Geng was unconscious, covered in blood.

The four burly men dusted off their hands, didn't even glance at the others in the yard, and strode away, heading straight to the hospital to visit Zhang Dabiao.

The entire courtyard was deathly silent.

After that, no one dared to mention the matter of eating Zhang Dabiao's extinct children again.

Everyone was stunned by this group of unreasonable "bandits" and finally realized that Zhang Dabiao was backed by two not-so-troublesome villages.

The Jia family could only cry and wail in their drafty house, but they didn't even have the courage to call the police.

It's only natural for the in-laws to come over and discipline their grandson; who can say anything about it?

As for Yi Zhonghai wanting to report it to the police?

Why not give it a try? Zhang Maoshan was originally Zhang Dabiao's cousin, but he was adopted by Zhang Banxian and is now considered Zhang Dabiao's biological brother. What is he afraid of?

If he really gets sent to jail, do you think Zhang Dabiao will help him get revenge, or take care of his whole family?

He couldn't be happier.

Hey Yi Zhonghai, why don't you go and report him? You'll make him pay!

------------

In the hospital, after listening to Zhang Maoshan's vivid "battle report," Zhang Dabiao thought to himself that the Jia family was really obsessed with money, and that Yi Zhonghai and Bang Geng were asking for a beating. He thought that since they were no longer bullying Zhang Dabiao's people, they deserved to be beaten.

By this time, his body had almost fully recovered; in terms of blood volume, he had recovered to about 72.5% of his health.

He felt that staying in the hospital was a waste of time, so he insisted on being discharged, citing the hospital's noise as a reason that it was not conducive to rest.

After examining Zhang Dabiao, the doctors found that his vital signs had not fully recovered, but were close enough, so they had to discharge him according to his wishes.

Before leaving, the excited attending physician grabbed him again, trying to force him to have his blood drawn, saying that they hadn't figured out anything last time.

Zhang Dabiao's face turned green—

Get lost!

------------

Back home, Zhang Dabiao had just lain down on the bed when Zhou Muyi, a teacher from the Arts and Crafts School, arrived with a fruit basket.

"Da Biao, you're finally back. Your health is the most important thing. Don't worry about school." Zhou Muye sat down on the edge of the bed and comforted him.

"But do you have any plans about where you'll go after graduation?"
