Days passed, and after that day, Sisi dared not approach Wang Gousheng again. She would only observe him from afar, trying to find out what was strange about him.
Wang Gousheng felt a little regretful when he saw how scared Sisi had become. He had thought that children were forgetful and would forget about the acupressure in a couple of days, but he didn't expect that even after a month, the girl was still afraid to get close to him.
Wang Gousheng felt that it was good to have her at home with Grandma Wang. At least Grandma Wang had been smiling more lately and no longer stared at him blankly and sighed for no reason.
Something strange happened that day. Grandma Mei came back early. She looked rather serious. After entering the house, she didn't go to see her granddaughter. Instead, she pulled Grandma Wang out and talked to her for a long time. When the two of them came back into the house afterward, they didn't look too good.
"Gousheng, you and Grandma Mei go stay at their house for a few days. Don't come home for the next few days." Grandma Wang started packing her grandson's change of clothes and his favorite books.
Yesi couldn't understand what the adults were saying, nor could she read their expressions. She just wondered if Grandma Mei's early return today meant she no longer needed to stay at Wang Gousheng's house.
"What happened?" Wang Gousheng was an adult after all, and when he saw that Grandma Wang's expression was not right, he knew that something bad might have happened.
"You're just a child, this isn't your business. Just remember to stay at Grandma Mei's house these few days and behave well." Grandma Wang didn't want to say too much to her grandson, so she quickly packed his things and handed a large bag to Grandma Mei.
"Sisi, wait here for a bit, Grandma will come to pick you up soon." Grandma Mei said this to her granddaughter in a hurry before grabbing her things and heading home.
"..." Wang Gousheng wanted to ask something more, but he thought about his age and knew that even if he pressed for answers, Grandma Wang wouldn't tell the truth to her two-year-old grandson.
A moment later, Grandma Mei rushed back into the house, holding Sisi's hand in one hand and Wang Gousheng's hand in the other.
Wang Gousheng glanced at Grandma Wang, but in the end, he obediently followed Grandma Mei.
Grandma Mei didn't go to work for the next few days, focusing on watching over Wang Gousheng and Yesi at home. However, Yesi wasn't happy because the strange Wang Gousheng had moved into her house.
These past few days, Wang Gousheng has been unable to concentrate on his studies. He spends his days listening intently to the sounds coming from next door. From the snippets of conversation he overheard at the Mei family's house these past two days, he roughly knows what's going to happen, but he knows that his child's body is simply not capable of handling such a situation.
That afternoon, Yesi was woken up from her nap. Seeing that Grandma Mei and Wang Gousheng both looked unwell, Yesi assumed that they had also been disturbed by the noise from next door.
Ye Si got off the kang (heated brick bed), put on her shoes, and ran out before Grandma Mei could react. Grandma Mei was stunned for a moment, then quickly got up and chased after her. Wang Gousheng frowned and followed her out.
Coconut didn't run directly to the neighbor's house because Grandma Mei had locked the gate. Coconut saw a ladder standing by the wall and her eyes lit up. She had seen Mei Liang climb this thing before. Coconut immediately imitated Mei Liang's actions from that day and quickly climbed the ladder.
"Smash it! Smash it hard!" A man stood in the middle of the Wang family's courtyard, directing everyone to smash things everywhere.
"Hey! What are you doing?" Coconut asked the man who looked like he was in charge, perched on the wall.
"Hurry up, smash everything you can!" The man glanced at Ye Si, ignored her, and continued to order his men to work.
Ye Si was angry that this person had clearly seen her but ignored her words. Especially when Ye Si found Grandma Wang sitting at the door with her hair disheveled, Ye Si felt even more that these people were no good.
Coconut looked around, then snapped a brick off the wall and threw it at the man.
The man only felt a dark shadow rushing towards him, and by the time he tried to dodge, it was too late. With a "smack," his face made intimate contact with the brick.
Grandma Wang looked at the brick on the man's face, then at Sisi still on the wall, and was a little confused about the situation.
It wasn't until the man's face started sizzling with blood that she realized what was happening. Grandma Wang quickly waved her hand, trying to get Sisi to hide so that no one else would find out.
"Come...come someone! Come quick...someone!" The man didn't have time to care about Grandma Wang and Ye Si anymore; he was more worried about his own life.
"Oh my god! Captain, what's wrong with you?" Finally, someone heard the man's weak cry and came out to take a look.
"What happened? What's going on? Did this old lady do it?"
"Nonsense! Our captain is trained, how could he be injured like this by an old lady?"
"What's going on? Has a powerful expert arrived here?"
"Everyone, search quickly! Don't let this person get away! How dare he injure the captain! He's got some nerve!"
“You…” The man, his face sizzling with blood, pointed tremblingly at the people around him.
"Captain, don't worry, we'll definitely find this person!"
"Yes, Captain, you can barely stand. Why don't you sit down and rest? Don't worry about us! We'll find the culprit for you!"
"You bunch of bastards! I'm fucking dying! What are you looking for? Get me to the hospital right now!" After yelling, the man passed out.
It was only then that everyone realized they should take the team leader to the hospital first. They quickly lifted the team leader up and rushed to the hospital in a noisy rush.
"Shouldn't we cover the wound a bit? If we just carry it over like this, won't the blood bleed out?" Grandma Wang stood there looking at the bloodstains on the ground that stretched all the way to the gate of the yard, and couldn't help but mutter to herself.
"Sister Wang, come to my house first. I'll go find Xiao Hua. Later tonight, when it's dark, I'll have him take you to my in-laws' house to avoid trouble." Seeing that the people had left, Grandma Mei quickly came over and pulled the still dazed Grandma Wang to the Mei family's house.
“No way, that would just cause trouble for your in-laws. We can’t do that.” Grandma Wang quickly shook her head, disagreeing with leaving.
“My in-laws have been in the county town for decades. They have a large family and a big yard, so they can easily hide a few people. Besides, this time it’s not just you and Gousheng; Sisi also needs to hide.” Grandma Mei said, looking at her granddaughter who was being led by Wang Gousheng and kept pouting.
"Sisi beat up that captain, won't your family be implicated too? Why don't you go together?" When Grandma Wang heard that Grandma Mei had so much confidence in her in-laws, she didn't say anything more. If it were her, she wouldn't go either. The key was that she still had her grandson Gousheng to worry about. For her grandson's sake, Grandma Wang had to be a little thick-skinned.
“We’re not afraid. As long as Sisi isn’t here, he won’t dare to do anything. I won’t say any more. I’m going to find Xiaohua first.” Seeing that Grandma Wang had relented, Grandma Mei went out, locked the courtyard gate from the outside, and went to find Grandpa Mei.
That night, Mei's father rode his tricycle overnight to take Grandma Wang, Wang Gousheng, and Yesi to the Hao family.
