It turns out that Tongtong brought a Luban lock to kindergarten to play with while at school today.

Zhuangzhuang saw it and found it very interesting, so he wanted to grab it.

"You don't even know how to play, why would you steal it?"

Jiaojiao was dissatisfied with his domineering behavior.

Unexpectedly, these words enraged him.

"So what if you're in the top class? I'll show you what it's like to look down on me!"

He snatched the toy from Tongtong's hand and threw it on the ground. Just as he was about to step on it, Tongtong reached out to pick it up and stepped on his hand.

Tongtong was so angry that she flicked her hand, knocking him to the ground.

He then climbed onto Tongtong's back and punched her in the face.

The two were wrestling and rolling around when Zhuangzhuang's back was crushed by the sharp corner of the toy, injuring his back.

They didn't notice the injuries while they were fighting, but when Liu Juan bathed Zhuangzhuang after they got home, she discovered the marks.

She wiped away her tears as she applied the medicine to him.

When Ji Yang saw this, he thought that since it was just a minor cut, it wasn't a big deal, so he told her not to cry and warned Zhuangzhuang not to fight with others for toys anymore.

This made Liu Juan furious.

I had a fight with Jiang Rou yesterday, and I'm still angry. Ji Yang just walked right into her line of fire.

"Zhuangzhuang is injured like this, and you still say such things. Are you not his father?"

No, I have to go to their family and demand an explanation.

As she spoke, she took Zhuangzhuang and went to find Jiang Ning.

As soon as Liu Juan reached the door, she started shouting and yelling, telling Jiang Ning to come out.

Wang Xiufen was confused and apologized to her, saying that if the child had done something wrong, his mother could punish him later, and there was no need to make such a big fuss.

Liu Juan scolded her:

“What do you know, you old woman? Call your daughter-in-law back. If you’re going to apologize, you should apologize properly. Not only should the child kneel down and apologize to Zhuangzhuang, but the adults should also apologize.”

Seeing Liu Juan's state, Grandpa Ji didn't dare to say anything to her, so he went to call Jiang Ning.

When Jiang Ning returned, she didn't immediately pay attention to her, but instead went to ask Tongtong what had happened.

Despite her young age, Jiaojiao described the incident with remarkable accuracy, even mimicking the way she rolled around on the ground.

The two children's accounts largely matched, so Jiang Ning believed them and went to confront Liu Juan.

Unexpectedly, Liu Juan admitted that Zhuangzhuang had started the fight by grabbing things and hitting people, but she still felt that Zhuangzhuang was more wronged and that Tongtong should apologize.

"Last time, Zhuangzhuang scratched another child's arm, and you said it was a matter between children and adults shouldn't interfere. Why have you changed your tune now?"

Jiang Ning was dissatisfied with her unreasonable and argumentative attitude.

To expect Tongtong to kneel down and apologize is simply wishful thinking!

Jiang Ning then ignored her, determined not to let her succeed.

Later, when Lin Chen and the others returned, Jiang Ning called them home and told them to eat, but she ignored them.

Liu Juan got tired of making a fuss and simply sat down on the doorstep and refused to move.

"If you don't apologize to me today, I'm not leaving. I want the whole neighborhood to see what kind of people you are!"

Jiang Ning rolled her eyes at her and went about her business.

After Gao Baoliang returned, he didn't say much and went straight back to the courtyard.

Once the lights are turned off, the yard becomes pitch black.

Zhuangzhuang then realized she was scared and cried out for Liu Juan to take her home.

Seeing the child's pitiful state, Grandpa Ji said to Liu Juan:

"Since the child is injured, let him stay inside. It's too much suffering for him to sit on the doorstep!"

Liu Juan was furious and yelled at Grandpa Ji:

"Isn't it all because of your good-for-nothing son? He can't even protect his own son!"

"I can't live like this anymore! Divorce!"

Later, Ji Yang arrived and finally managed to persuade Liu Juan to come down from the threshold, but the two continued to argue.

Finally, the ordeal ended with Grandpa Ji clutching his heart and fainting.

Ji Yang quickly found a tricycle and took Grandpa Ji to the hospital.

When Gao Baoliang learned that Grandpa Ji had suffered a heart attack, he also went to help.

Jiang Ning watched them leave, shaking her head repeatedly and sighing deeply.

A shrewish wife brings suffering to three generations; Ji Yang's indecisiveness will surely lead to chaos!

Grandpa Ji was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment, and Liu Juan took her son home.

For her, Grandpa Ji's illness was a real nuisance; it prevented her from seeking justice for her son, and it would be better if he died.

If she dies, she can rightfully inherit half of the family fortune.

After a night of emergency treatment, Mr. Ji was finally out of danger and transferred to a regular ward.

When Gao Baoliang saw that the clock on the wall pointed to 4:30, he thought to himself, "Oh no, I made an appointment with Yang Lu to meet at 5 o'clock."

He quickly greeted Ji Yang and ran home.

After arriving home, I grabbed a few clothes, put them in my bag, and got on the motorcycle with my backpack.

We sped towards the meeting point, but we still missed the Urban Construction Bureau's bus.

Yang Lu sat by the flower bed, idly tugging at the leaves on the branches.

"Come... or not... come..."

When she saw Gao Baoliang's motorcycle appear, she happily went to greet it.

"I knew you'd come!"

Gao Baoliang scratched his head sheepishly:

"I'm sorry, I'm late. Did I miss the bus?"

"We've been walking for half an hour, it's okay, we can ride a motorcycle."

Yang Lu picked up her bag from the car, slung it over her shoulder, sat behind him, and tugged at his sleeve.

"Okay, hold on tight, I'll make sure you catch up with the main group."

Gao Baoliang stepped on the gas.

The motorcycle shot off in a flash.

Yang Lu was afraid she would fall off the car, so she hugged his waist.

After driving for more than 20 minutes, they caught up with the bus and even overtook it.

Yang Lu turned around happily and waved to the bus.

A whistle came from the bus.

Soon, they arrived at the foot of the mountain. Gao Baoliang took off his helmet and put it on the vehicle, parked the motorcycle next to him, and waited with Yang Lu for the bus to arrive.

Hearing his stomach growl, Yang Lu handed him a piece of bread.

“Last night, Mr. Ji suddenly suffered a heart attack. His son and I took him to the hospital, and he was finally saved this morning.”

Gao Baoliang explained while eating his bread.

Yang Lu hadn't eaten breakfast either; her mouth was stuffed full.

"Is Grandpa Ji the old man who lives next door to you?"

"Yes, that's right!"

As they were talking, the bus arrived, and people got off one after another, a huge crowd. After agreeing on a time to meet back down the mountain, they went their separate ways.

Sitting opposite Yang Lu, Sister Zhang, arm in arm with her husband, came over to them, and her first words were:

"Xiao Yang, you've done a great job keeping this a secret. Your boyfriend is the young man who came to do business last time, right?"

Gao Baoliang greeted them with a smile.

Yang Lu touched her forehead and gave an awkward smile:

"Sister Zhang, you have a good memory, but don't misunderstand, we're just good friends."

The main group had already set off, and Yang Lu didn't say much to her, just pulled Gao Baoliang along.

Sister Zhang smiled and looked at her husband:

"Look into her eyes, she can't hide her joy at all, and she still says he's not her boyfriend!"
