Chapter 423
"Yes, you must not be soft-hearted. If you are soft-hearted, he might come to trouble you again."
"We know." Zhong Lan said politely to several female comrades.
After the female comrades left, Zhong Lan asked Cui Li in confusion, "Usually, these people don't talk much when we meet them. Why are they so kind to give us such a warning today?"
Cui Li then told Zhong Lan the inspiring words she had just said.
Zhong Lan smiled knowingly: "So that's how it is. You must have a way, you know how to talk."
Cui Li grinned innocently.
Although Ergouzi was taken away, Zhong Lan and Cui Li were still scared after experiencing such an incident. The three children were even more frightened. In the second half of the night, both adults and children slept uneasily.
Unable to sleep anyway, Zhong Lan and Cui Li had originally planned to get up early to make steamed buns and peanut butter and sell them. However, thinking about what happened last night, they were worried about leaving their children alone at home, so they decided to take a day off and not go out to sell food.
Ye Fuyue had originally returned to school today, but she always felt uneasy, as if something was going to happen.
So, after finishing two classes in the morning, she went to the School of Political Science and Law to find Shen Yao.
She and Shen Yao had just separated in the morning. When Shen Yao saw her coming to see him again, he subconsciously thought that something had happened and asked Ye Fuyue: "What's wrong?"
Ye Fuyue said truthfully: "Nothing, I just felt uneasy and came to see you."
Shen Yao smiled: "I'm fine."
Chen Yao originally wanted to say, since you are here, let’s have lunch together at noon.
But Ye Fuyue had already waved goodbye to him: "That's good, I'll go home and take a look."
Shen Yao still had classes to attend, so he could only watch his wife come and go in a hurry.
Ye Fuyue returned to the slum.
Chen Guifeng was even more surprised than Shen Yao to see her come back at this time.
"Why are you back? Did you leave something at home?" Chen Guifeng asked.
Ye Fuyue was afraid that Chen Guifeng would overthink things, so she followed Chen Guifeng's words and said, "Yeah."
"Where are Haohaoranran and Qiqi?" she asked again.
"They are playing in the house."
Ye Fuyue ran into the house and saw that the three children were indeed playing in the house.
Haohaoranran and Qiqi were surprised and happy to see their mother suddenly come back. They circled around Ye Fuyue and kept calling "Mom--" and "Mom--".
Ye Fuyue kissed the three babies for a while, then asked Chen Guifeng, "Mom, is everything okay at home?"
Chen Guifeng was confused by Ye Fuyue's question: "I'm fine. What's wrong?"
"Nothing, just asking." Ye Fuyue said, "I'm going back to school first."
"Aren't you going to stay home for lunch?" Chen Guifeng asked.
"No need to stay. I have classes in the afternoon and there is not enough time." Ye Fuyue said.
Chen Guifeng then warned: "Be careful on the road."
"Okay, Mom."
Ye Fuyue left the slum and went to the small Western-style building.
Seeing that Zhong Lan and Cui Li were both at home, Ye Fuyue initially thought that they had just returned from selling food. When she heard them say that they did not go out to sell food today, Ye Fuyue realized what had happened last night and understood why she felt uneasy.
"Don't go out to sell food these days. Wait until this is over before going out." Ye Fuyue said.
"Okay." Zhong Lan and Cui Li both nodded.
"Why did you come here suddenly? Shouldn't you be at school?" Cui Li finally had the chance to ask Ye Fuyue.
"There are not many classes today, so I came over to take a look." Ye Fuyue said.
Zhong Lan and Cui Li both believed her words without a doubt.
"Have lunch before you leave, we are working on it." Zhong Lan said.
Ye Fuyue thought that even if she rushed back to school at this time, she probably wouldn't be able to make it in time for lunch in the cafeteria. Besides, she didn't have classes in the first or second period in the afternoon, so it was okay for her to go back to school later, so she agreed.
Zhong Lan and Cui Li were cooking in the kitchen, while Ye Fuyue was playing with Yao Zaoer and Lai Bao. It was her brother's turn to go to kindergarten.
Suddenly, there was a loud knock on the gate. The loud noise seemed to break the gate down, startling Xiaobai so much that he started barking wildly at the person knocking on the door.
Even Zhong Lan and Cui Li came out of the kitchen and, together with Ye Fuyue and the two children, peeked out of the first-floor window into the yard.
Outside the courtyard gate, there were two people standing, a man and a woman, both of them looked to be in their forties.
Seeing Zhong Lan and Cui Li appear in front of the window, the middle-aged woman pointed at them and said angrily, "Are you the ones who sent my son to the Public Security Bureau?"
Zhong Lan and Cui Li didn't know who these two people were at first, but after hearing what the middle-aged woman said, they both understood.
This man and woman should be Ergouzi's parents.
"Are you Ergou's parents?" Zhong Lan confirmed.
"Yes!" the middle-aged man shouted angrily, "My son didn't do anything to you, why did you send him to the police station?"
Just now, when Ergouzi's parents were banging on the door, some of the neighbors came out to see what was going on.
At this moment, Ergouzi's parents spoke loudly, attracting more people to watch.
Seeing that Ergouzi's parents actually came to cause trouble for Zhong Lan and Cui Li, Ye Fuyue was speechless, but also felt that it was reasonable.
If they didn’t have such parents, they wouldn’t have raised a son like Ergouzi.
"He broke into my house in the middle of the night, so we have to send him to the police station," said Zhong Lan.
"How could he break into your house? He just took the wrong way!" the middle-aged man said angrily.
"It's useless to tell us this. Go talk to the police!" Cui Li said.
It's not like Ergouzi's parents didn't tell the police about this. But the police didn't believe them at all and said that Ergouzi's behavior was a crime and he should go to jail.
Er Gouzi's parents couldn't convince the police, so they had no choice but to come to Zhong Lan and Cui Li. As long as Zhong Lan and Cui Li didn't pursue the matter, Er Gouzi wouldn't have to go to jail.
The middle-aged woman said, "My son is a good boy, but because of your slander, he is still in the police station. Come with us to the police station now and tell them that my son did not break into your house."
"We don't have the courage to lie in front of the public security comrades." Zhong Lan sneered.
The middle-aged woman became increasingly angry, her voice shrill: "Why are you so vicious! My son didn't do anything to you, why are you hurting him like this!"
Ye Fuyue couldn't bear to listen any longer and said, "You should be thankful that your son didn't really do anything to them. If anything had happened to them, your son wouldn't have just been sent to the Public Security Bureau."
Ergouzi's parents glared at Ye Fuyue furiously, and their eyes showed that they wanted to cut her into pieces.
Some of the female comrades watching couldn't stand it anymore and said -
