"Hey, hey, hey—my Jinbao, please let him go! How can you, an adult, hit a child?"

Yao Cuixiang's voice was quite loud, and it was especially loud in the quiet evening. The neighbors living nearby came out of their homes when they heard the noise.

Those who were close saw the old man pulling Jinbao out of the yard by the ear. Jinbao was crying loudly, not knowing whether he was scared or in pain.

Apart from Yao Cuixiang, who was yelling and cursing at the old man to let him go, no one stepped forward to persuade him. Someone even shouted, "Did Jinbao go to Doctor Gu's house and take things without asking again?"

To put it nicely, it's called taking without asking, and to put it bluntly, it's stealing.

There was also a child who was bullied by Jinbao today and ran out of his yard, sticking out his tongue at Jinbao.

Not a single person opened their mouths to ask what had happened, or to say anything like, "Don't hit the child no matter what."

This shows the status of Jinbao and Yao Cuixiang in the eyes of their neighbors.

Qi Mo'nan and Wang Haiyang heard the noise and came out. Qian Youde, who had just got off work, was also coming from another direction. When he heard his son and Yao Cuixiang crying, he hurried over.

"What's wrong? What happened?" Qian Youde was truly exhausted. How long had it been since Yao Cuixiang brought their son, Jinbao, to join the army? He apologized almost every day. Every time work ended, he even began to dread returning home. There were endless complaints, endless arguments, and endless disputes, all caused by Jinbao. He was either stealing, robbing, bullying other children for no reason, hurling insults, and damaging public facilities—the list was endless.

Hearing Qian Youde's voice, the old man stopped and stopped pulling Jinbao's ear and continued walking towards Qian Youde's house.

When Qian Youde arrived, he didn't let go of the hand that was grabbing Jin Bao's ear. He looked at Qian Youde coldly and asked, "As a battalion-level officer, you can't even take care of your own wife and children. How can you lead the troops? What qualifications do you have to lead the troops?"

Qian Youde's heart skipped a beat. "What, what happened? What on earth happened?"

Looking at the anxious Qian Youde, the old man finally let go of Jinbao's ear. "It's okay for your son to act up sometimes, as long as he doesn't break the law, what does it have to do with us? After all, he is your son. It's you, Qian Youde, who has lost face and destroyed the foundation of your Qian family. What does it have to do with us?"

Some of the neighbors who were watching tried to hold back their laughter, thinking that Dr. Gu was still as sharp-tongued as ever.

Qian Youde's face was extremely ugly. This was a warning to him. If he didn't take care of his son, he would commit crimes sooner or later.

Then the old man continued, "Today, I cooked a meal at home to welcome Miss Yun and Captain Qi. As soon as the food was cooked, your son came into my yard with a bowl bigger than his head. Do you know what he said?"

Everyone held their breath, waiting for the old man's next words.

Everyone wanted to know what had happened to make Gu Lao so angry.

Yao Cuixiang realized something, and her expression changed immediately. She quickly screamed, "The child is talking nonsense. Why are you, an adult, arguing with a child?"

The old man's cold eyes swept over Yao Cuixiang. "If I don't bother with him, then I will bother with you." "Your son put a big bowl on my stove and asked Yun to fill the bowl with meat. If he doesn't, I will report Yun as a capitalist, call her a bad element, and overthrow her."

Qian Youde's face turned pale instantly.

The neighbors' expressions also changed, and they looked at Yao Cuixiang and Jinbao differently. In the past, they only looked at Jinbao and Yao Cuixiang with disgust and contempt, but now they were a little wary.
