The woman was stunned when she heard this, but she forced a smile and said, "Sister, I'm wrong for coming here without knowing the truth. I can't accept this money."

Sun Xiu quickly advised, "Sister, please accept it. It's at least a form of compensation."

After hearing this, the woman's expression brightened. "I'm really sorry for what happened to your family today. I apologize to you here, but I really can't accept the money. It was just a fight between children. It has nothing to do with Li Chen."

As she spoke, the woman bowed to Sun Xiu and the others.

This move really made Li Xu look at him with admiration.

Looking at this woman's face and her previous yelling behavior, I thought she was an unreasonable person.

I never expected that he would be so reasonable.

Sure enough, judging people by their appearance is extremely wrong.

Sun Xiu also quickly helped the woman up and said, "It's just a small matter. There's no need to do this."

After the woman stood up, she said nothing, grabbed her son's neck and left.

Seeing that there was nothing more to watch, the people around also left.

Sun Xiu grabbed Li Chen's clothes and glared at him fiercely, "Go into the house."

Li Chen didn't dare to say a word and followed him into the house.

After entering the house, everyone sat on the stools.

Only Li Chen was standing there, not daring to raise his head.

At this time, Sun Xiu slammed the table and said, "Li Chen, you are really capable now. People even came to your house."

In fact, after knowing that it was not Li Chen who tore the clothes, Sun Xiu was not that angry.

Now I just want Li Chen to learn his lesson.

Li Chen was already experienced in getting beaten up, and upon hearing this, he knew that Sun Xiu wasn't angry at all. He immediately smiled and said, "Mom, I get it. Don't worry, this won't happen again."

Seeing his playful smile, Sun Xiu almost couldn't hold it in and coughed twice. "How dare you still smile? I tell you, if you really tore that child's clothes, I will make you pay for it. Don't eat dinner, go stand outside."

Everyone felt that they wouldn't starve to death if they skipped a meal, so they didn't try to persuade them.

And didn't I just eat for a while...

Seeing that no one spoke up for him, Li Chen walked out angrily.

Then everyone continued to have dinner.

While eating, Hu Guilan was still saying, "Mom, I thought that woman was unreasonable, but I didn't expect I was wrong."

Sun Xiu smiled, "She is indeed quite reasonable. If Xiaochen hadn't gone to stop her son, this wouldn't have happened."

As for the fight, no matter who started it first, no one would care if this incident had not happened.

This made Li Xu feel a little emotional. This era is really full of martial virtues.

In later times, who would dare to fight casually?

Those without much wealth dare not fight back when being beaten by others...

Everyone ended their dinner with a smile.

Li Xu held a teacup in one hand and held Li Ju's hand with the other, and walked in front of Li Chen.

"Hey, who is this? Why is he still standing guard here?"

Li Chen immediately rolled his eyes at him, "Second brother, are you laughing at me?"

Li Xu nodded as if it was a matter of fact, "Yes."

In fact, Li Xu didn't want to tease Li Chen, but there really weren't many entertainment activities in those days.

Or maybe every family has so many children now, isn't it because they have nothing to do but make people...

I'm just sitting around anyway.

Li Ju on the side burst out laughing.

But Li Chen didn't dare to say anything.

There was no way. If Li Ju was made to cry, Li Jiakang would take action.

So he could only confront Li Xu, "Second brother, if I remember correctly, you've been punished to stand in the corner a lot before."

Li Xu nodded, "Yes, but no one found me at home."

Li Chen was stunned for a moment, "It's not like I did that to his clothes."

"Yeah, but I still came to find you."

Li Chen stared at Li Xu blankly, not knowing how to refute.

Li Mei and others who were watching the fun behind Li Xu also laughed out loud.

Then Li Mei said, "Okay, Xiaoxu, stop teasing him."

Li Xu laughed and no longer wanted to tease Li Chen.

With a resentful look in his eyes, he pulled Li Ju away.

The next night.

Li Xu and others learned a piece of news from Li Chen.

The middle-aged woman who came yesterday went to school today and asked for a few months' leave for her son...

Everyone looked at each other.

Then Li Chen said hesitantly, "He won't be beaten to death, right?"

Li Xu thought for a moment before saying, "Don't worry, it won't be that serious, but some minor injuries are probably unavoidable."

Li Xu was right about this.

Yesterday, after the woman brought the child home, she beat him severely with a stick and even shouted that she wanted to kill him...

No one else in the family could stop him.

After the woman was tired of beating him, she told her family what had happened.

After hearing this, the child’s father’s face turned red and he picked up a stick and beat the child again.

I don't know what the final injury was.

Anyway, after the fight, the heat subsided, so I quickly took the child to the hospital. The doctor said he needed to be kept at home for at least a while...

A few more days passed.

That night, Li Xu came to Du Hong's house again.

The relationship between the two is very good now.

Li Xu also felt that the time had come.

When the two of them were alone, Li Xu whispered, "Xiaohong, let's get engaged in the next two days."

Du Hong didn't refuse this time. Instead, she blushed and asked, "When are we getting married?"

Li Xu thought about it and said, "How about we get engaged in two years? Then we'll both be 18, which will be just the right time to get married."

Du Hong was stunned. "Why is it booked so late?"

Li Xu chuckled, "It's not too late. We are still young now. In two years, I won't even reach the legal marriage age. Besides, by then we will both be able to get regular jobs. Wouldn't it be perfect to get married then?"

Li Xu could only come up with this reason. Otherwise, he couldn't say that getting married at this age is bad for our health, right?

If Du Hong continues to ask, how should Li Xu explain?

Seeing that Du Hong remained silent after hearing this, Li Xu continued, "We're already engaged, are you still afraid that I'll run away?"

You have to know that once you get engaged, you can't regret it, just like getting married.

Just like many people who get married at this time and find out that their spouse is committing domestic violence, but still grit their teeth and continue to live together.

There is no way, if anyone talks about divorce at this time.

That really can be drowned in spit...

It may even become a question of personal morality...

That would be serious.

You want an explanation?

Sorry, I can't explain this.

Others don't care why you do it.

All they care about is your divorce.
