Da Niu has this little quirk.
He doesn't pay much attention to matters of the heart.
It's like he was having an affair with a married woman while simultaneously talking about marriage with another young woman.
Anyone with a normal set of values would know that this is wrong, but he just doesn't think it's a big deal.
Da Niu often says that love between men and women is consensual and there's nothing shameful about it.
Now, the tall, beautiful, and aloof girl in front of him easily dazzled him.
"Little girl, you've got quite the flirtatious look!"
Da Niu looked dazed, and the words just slipped out of his mouth.
Actually, the word "浪" (làng) is not a derogatory term in Northeast China.
There's a song with lyrics that go something like this: "The young lady is so beautiful, so carefree, she's stepped into the green cornfield~ The corn here has already formed ears, a gentle breeze stirs up waves of heat~"
The word "浪" here describes a girl as beautiful, charming, and attractive.
However, this word has different meanings in different regions, and coupled with Da Niu's lewd appearance and lecherous eyes, the aloof girl immediately exploded.
Two small incidents ignited the anger of both sides to the extreme. It's unclear who started it, but the two groups were pushing and shoving each other, and started arguing in the Huguosi snack shop.
The waiter called out the towering chefs from the kitchen and shooed them out, saying, "If you want to fight, go outside and fight. Don't delay our work!"
Neither group would back down. One side relied on its superior numbers, while the other believed that although the other group had more people, they were all small and weak, like chickens, and couldn't take a beating. So they found a secluded alley and started fighting.
Among them, Xu Yunfeng was the calmest. He grabbed a child who was squatting in the corner playing marbles, gave him a dime, and told him to go to Tianshui Hutong to find someone to report the news.
They never expected that these seven or eight young men, though thin, would be so ruthless.
Fortunately, he had prepared this in advance, otherwise all five of them would have perished in this alley.
"That's the whole story. Old Director, they provoked us first!"
The aloof young woman had bloodshot eyes and spoke with a strong, forceful voice.
The old police chief placed his teacup on the desk without even raising an eyebrow. "He Xiaohong, tell me, how many times have you been to the police station in the past month?"
"Forehead......"
He Xiaohong was speechless for a moment, then realized what she meant and retorted, "What does that have to do with me!"
"Yes! You've come to the police station three times in a month, and every time it's because of the fights you started. You're saying it has nothing to do with you?"
"I am a victim!"
"hehe!"
The old director gave a cold laugh.
"What do you mean!"
He Xiaohong's face turned completely red, as if she had been greatly insulted.
The old director looked at him and said earnestly, "He Xiaohong, you're not getting any younger. You should find a proper job and get married properly. Don't hang out with this bunch of rascals every day!"
"They're cracking down on this now, so you'd better watch yourself!"
The last sentence is profound and meaningful.
He Xiaohong looked ashamed and indignant, and didn't seem to be listening to him at all.
The old director sighed inwardly, shook his head, and slowly walked out.
This child has really gone astray.
The former director lived on the same street as He Xiaohong and knew about her family's affairs.
He Xiaohong's mother died of lung cancer when she was three years old, and her father married a female colleague from his factory less than three months later.
At first, her stepmother treated her quite well. The little girl was always dressed neatly and cleanly, and she was always well-fed.
This situation continued until she was sixteen, when her stepmother gave birth to a son.
He Xiaohong's living conditions took a sharp turn for the worse. Her parents didn't care for her, and they wouldn't let her continue her high school education. Instead, they sent her to the countryside as an educated youth.
He Xiaohong was beautiful, but her family was poor. While other parents sent food and drink to their children who had gone to the countryside, her parents wrote to her, telling her to be frugal with her food and clothing and to send back the grain she received from the production team.
No one knows how she spent her days in the countryside.
Anyway, last year she suddenly returned from the countryside and moved into her parents' house, which didn't welcome her, in a very forceful manner.
The stepmother's unwanted child returned quietly, much to the stepmother's displeasure. She threw things around all day, but it was her own father who eventually persuaded her to stay.
“Our son is three or four years old, which is a very mischievous age. Don’t you always complain that there’s no one at home to help you take care of him? Now that Xiaohong is back, she can help with the housework and look after her little brother. This will save you a lot of trouble!”
The stepmother thought to herself, "That's true!"
Isn't this just like having a free nanny? Once she helps raise my son, I can introduce her to someone to marry, and that'll be the end of it.
The two had a good plan, but unfortunately, He Xiaohong now is not the same He Xiaohong as before.
She no longer agrees to stay home to do housework or take care of her younger brother, nor does she look for a job. Instead, she quickly joins a local gang of hooligans.
Her father was furious when he saw her sitting in the back seat of the hooligan's car, and the hooligan was even whistling at him in a lewd manner. He immediately dragged He Xiaohong off the back seat and was about to beat her.
Unexpectedly, the thug beat him to it, slapping him twice with both hands until he saw stars.
"Hey, where did this old codger come from, trying to impress my girl! I'm giving you a little lesson today, watch out next time!"
He Xiaohong remained aloof, coldly watching her father being beaten without showing any emotion.
Next, her biological father and stepmother repeatedly tried to use family discipline to clean up the house, but the next day, some hooligans came to the door and paid back double the amount on her behalf.
In the end, it was only when the thug grabbed He Xiaohong's chubby younger brother and threatened them that if they dared to touch He Xiaohong again, he would cut off one of the chubby brother's fingers, that the biological father and stepmother were truly frightened.
From then on, they stopped interfering with He Xiaohong's affairs, and He Xiaohong was free to hang out with these hooligans.
The old police chief initially sympathized with He Xiaohong, but the girl was too self-disciplined and kept ending up in the police station, which gradually wore away his sympathy.
But today he couldn't help but remind everyone that the crackdown on "hooliganism" is getting stricter and stricter.
Whether it's good or bad depends on He Xiaohong's self-discipline.
After clarifying the cause and effect, the old police chief still needed to go to the hospital to see the five people who had been injured and take their statements.
......
Li Xiangdong and Zhou Hongsong are at the hospital, taking care of five people whose wounds have just been bandaged.
Xu Yunsong suffered the most serious injuries, with a broken right leg, a broken left forearm, and a mild concussion. The others, though bandaged up like mummies, only had superficial injuries and were in relatively good condition.
They were all in one ward, five people lying in hospital beds, receiving intravenous infusions.
Li Xiangdong respectfully saw the doctor out, then turned around and gently closed the door. Zhou Hongsong breathed a sigh of relief and said with great joy, "Thank goodness, Brother Yunsong won't turn into a fool!"
