In the morning, Li Chu and Wu Xiaoliu were having breakfast in the living room. Zhang Meng had already left earlier; he needed to go back to the hospital to get his car and then take Uncle Wang to work.
The loud banging on the door left Li Chu and Wu Xiaoliu stunned.
Immediately afterwards, Li Chu heard his sister Li Qin's voice from outside: "Li Chu, open the door for me."
His sister's angry shouts startled Li Chu, making him shudder. He knew he was in serious trouble this time.

My sister must know about that, otherwise she wouldn't have come so angrily to bang on the door so early in the morning.
Li Chu put down his chopsticks and hurriedly ran out to open the door. No matter what, he should at least put on a proper attitude.
Wu Xiaoliu didn't dare to eat anymore and followed them out of the living room into the yard.
Li Chu opened the door, but before he could even speak, or rather, before he could even see who was outside, Li Qin grabbed his bag and started hitting him all over.
The blow completely stunned Li Chu. He didn't dare to dodge and could only take it.
Wang Ziwen was following right behind Li Qin. Li Qin's loud shouts and banging on the door had attracted everyone in the alley. They could have some gossip first thing in the morning, and the neighbors said they didn't mind the noise.
The wife was so fierce that she threw her bag at her younger brother. Many people in the alley didn't know they were siblings and thought there was some kind of scandal. They whispered among themselves.
Wang Ziwen dared not let them speculate wildly, otherwise who knows what kind of rumors would spread in a short time.
He hurriedly explained to the neighbors outside that it was an older sister beating her younger brother inside.
Some people in the alley recognized Li Qin, the director of the street office, and said a few words in her defense, which gradually dispersed the onlookers.
The scandal involving the head of the neighborhood committee is not so pleasant to watch.
Ran Qiuye and her younger sister Ran Ziye, who were leaving for work and school respectively, stood there dumbfounded, staring at the yard next door. They never expected that Dr. Li, who usually seemed so gentle and refined, would have such a fiery-tempered older sister.
Seeing that the crowd outside had dispersed, Wang Ziwen then entered the courtyard and closed the gate.
Li Qin hit her younger brother hard with her bag a few times. She had calmed down and didn't want to hit him anymore, but when the three dogs in the house saw their owner being hit, they all started whining at her, and Li Qin's anger flared up again.
"Well, Li Chu, what's this? You want your dog to bite me, don't you?"
As she spoke, Li Qin turned her head and looked around, looking for something more convenient to use to beat her brother up again.
Li Chu was now truly on the verge of tears, and hurriedly chased the three dogs away: "Sister, I was wrong, I accept the punishment."
"You're not wrong. Who do you think you are, Li Chu? You're so arrogant that you're out of control. You dare to get involved in anything now. Rather than you going out and getting beaten up by others, I'd rather just cripple you. If you're crippled, I, Li Qin, will support you for the rest of your life. I'll take care of your wife and children for you, so you won't go out and cause trouble."
Li Qin's mouth was gurgling like a machine gun, fully displaying the style she had when she worked in the women's work team back then.
“Li Chu, tell me clearly, do you even consider me your sister? Such a big thing happened, and everyone else knows about it, but I, as your sister, was kept in the dark. Do you think you're so capable, that you're even more powerful than our parents?”
As she spoke, tears began to fall from Li Qin's eyes.
"Sister, I..."
Just as Li Chu was about to say something, Li Qin came over and hugged him tightly, bursting into tears.
Li Chu was now in a bind. Although they were siblings, there was a difference between men and women. In his memory, his sister had never hugged him like this since he was about ten years old.
Now that his sister is hugging him like this, he doesn't know where to put his hands and can only look to his brother-in-law for help.
Wang Ziwen was extremely jealous when he saw his wife hugging another man, even though it was his younger brother.
"Alright, Xiaoqin, let's go inside and talk inside."
He then separated the siblings and pulled Li Qin towards the living room.
Wu Xiaoliu had already slipped into the living room when Li Qin entered the room and started hitting Li Chu, sensing that things were going badly.
Seeing his cousin and his wife come in, Wu Xiaoliu stood to the side and smiled awkwardly.
Wang Ziwen was also annoyed. He had finally managed to wear down his wife's temper over the years with all the trivial matters of the neighborhood committee and the street office, but this morning he said something wrong and she found out what had happened to Li Chu, and she immediately flew into a rage.
After sitting down on the sofa, Wang Ziwen comforted Li Qin for a while, and Li Chu also kept saying nice things and admitting his mistakes, which gradually calmed Li Qin down.
"Xiao Chu, tell me what happened. Your brother-in-law didn't explain it to me clearly this morning either."
Li Chu looked at his sister in astonishment. So you didn't even understand what was going on before giving me a good beating.
After waiting for a while without hearing his younger brother utter a sound, Li Qin gave him a look, and Li Chu couldn't help but shiver. He quickly spilled the beans.
"Jiang Cheng, this brat from the Jiang family is asking for death!" Li Qin's teeth were clenched in fury. If Jiang Cheng were right in front of her, she probably would have pounced on him and eaten him alive.
"Have you figured out the reason? He couldn't have done it for no reason."
There must be a reason, but we don't know it yet.
Li Qin looked at her younger brother with some suspicion: "Xiao Chu, you didn't mess with his sister Jiang Li, did you?"
"Sis, what are you saying? Ever since you told me not to see Jiang Li alone, I haven't seen them for the past few months." Li Chu almost jumped off the sofa.
"What's going on? From what I'm hearing, it seems like Xiao Chu and Jiang Cheng's sister have something going on. Didn't they say they haven't seen each other for almost twenty years?" Wang Ziwen said with amusement from the side.
Even Wu Xiaoliu's ears perked up; this was something none of them knew.
Li Qin glared at her husband fiercely: "Why are you everywhere? Jiang Cheng and his sister grew up playing with Xiao Chu and his family. Back when they were still in Nanniwan, the adults from both families would sometimes joke that Jiang Li was Xiao Chu's wife. But after their family moved south, that matter was dropped."
"Wow, Xiao Chu, I didn't realize you had a childhood sweetheart. No wonder her brother came to cause you trouble." With Wang Ziwen's constant banter, the atmosphere in the room finally wasn't as tense as before.
"Stop with the nonsense. You three, tell me what you're going to do next. And now there's this guy who's been following Jiang Cheng."
Wang Ziwen and Wu Xiaoliu both looked at Li Chu, after all, he was the one involved.
"Things have come to this point, and I plan to have Uncle Wang handle it to see whether to hand it over to the military or tell Uncle Liu and the others directly." Li Chu really didn't want to get involved in this matter anymore; he didn't want his family to worry about it anymore.
