Chapter 426: The Scheming Brother-in-law vs. the Unmarried Sister-in-law (10)



A burly man shouted at the little beggar beside him, and the little beggar, who was dressed in rags, knelt down on the ground and apologized.

"Please spare my life, sir. Please spare my life!"

The noise here soon alarmed the people around, and they gathered around, surrounding the big man and the little beggar in the blink of an eye.

The big man glared at the little beggar kneeling on the ground, then quickly turned his head to look at Xiao Heng who was knocked down by him.

After seeing clearly who he had hit, the big man changed his arrogance and quickly bowed to Xiao Heng to apologize.

"Xiao, Master Xiao! I am so sorry. I didn't mean to offend you. Please be magnanimous and don't take it personally!"

Xiao Heng waved his hand and didn't bother with him.

"Thank you, Master Xiao. Thank you, Master Xiao!"

After thanking Xiao Heng again, the big man looked viciously at the little beggar kneeling on the ground.

"You damned little bastard, do you know who you bumped into? You almost got me hurt, do you know that?!"

As he spoke, he bent down, grabbed the little beggar by the collar, and raised his hand as if to teach him a lesson.

"Master, please spare me, please spare me! I really didn't mean it. I have an elderly grandmother at home waiting for me to go back and take care of her. Please have mercy on me this time!"

The little beggar kowtowed frantically while begging for mercy, with snot running down his face, which made everyone feel distressed.

"Brother, you see he knows he is wrong, so please forgive him this time."

"Yeah, he's just an irritable kid. Why bother with him?"

"He said he had an elderly grandmother at home waiting for him to go back and take care of her. He was a good and filial child."

"That's right. There are so many people on the street, collisions are inevitable. What kind of man is it to cause trouble to a half-grown child?"

Everyone was talking and urging the big man to let the little beggar go.

More and more people gathered around, and the big man was also a man who cared about his reputation. His face turned blue and red when he was talked about by everyone. Under the gaze of everyone, he withdrew his raised hand in disappointment.

"Go away, go away, get out of my way!"

"Thank you very much, sir. Thank you very much, sir! I will never forget your great kindness!"

The little beggar hurriedly thanked him, stood up and ran out of the crowd.

When passing by Xiao Heng, he turned his head to look at the little beggar who ran out of the crowd, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his lips.

The little beggar ran all the way to a sparsely populated alley before stopping.

He pulled out a purse from his pocket, weighed the amount of silver, and said proudly, "What a bunch of fools! They didn't even know their silver was stolen!"

As soon as the words fell——

Swish! A black shadow flashed by, and the purse he had thrown into the air was snatched away by someone.

"Stop! Give me back my money!"

The little beggar was startled and quickly chased after the dark shadow in front of him.

Xiao Heng turned around with the money bag, looking at the ferocious little beggar with a half-smile: "Your silver, huh, boy, I can't tell, you acted really well."

An unnatural look flashed across the little beggar's face: "I, I don't understand what you are saying! Give me back my money!"

He came in front of Xiao Heng and jumped to grab the purse in his hand.

But Xiao Heng, who was 1.9 meters tall, just raised his hand slightly, and no matter how hard the little beggar jumped, he couldn't reach it.

Looking at the angry little beggar in front of him, Xiao Heng wanted to tease him and looked at him with a half-smile: "If that person knew that you were a pickpocket who stole silver, how do you think he would deal with you?"

Thinking of the ferocious man just now, the little beggar shuddered suddenly.

The little beggar's face was full of anxiety, his eyes were red and he almost cried.

Xiao Heng frowned and looked at him inquiringly: "Did you steal the silver to pay for your grandma's medical treatment?"

After all, the little beggar had a criminal record, so it was hard not to suspect that he was lying again.

The little beggar nodded with red eyes: "Please give me back the silver, the doctor said my grandma's illness can't be delayed any longer!"

Xiao Heng pursed his lips and said, "Even if you want to treat your grandma, you can't steal other people's money. What about your parents?"

"My parents died when I was three years old. My grandmother raised me. I am useless. I can't earn enough money to pay for my grandmother's medical treatment. I know stealing is wrong, but I really can't think of any other way."

The little beggar lowered his head and blamed himself more and more the more he spoke. He hated himself for being useless, watching his elderly grandmother suffer from illness but being unable to do anything, and he couldn't even get the money to buy medicine for her treatment.

Xiao Heng touched his head and said, "If your grandmother knew that you stole money from others to pay for her medical treatment, she would feel guilty for the rest of her life."

The little beggar panicked upon hearing this and grabbed Xiao Heng's sleeve: "Please don't tell my grandma about this. I, Wang Xiaoshun, will take responsibility for my own actions. When grandma recovers from her illness, I will go to the government office and turn myself in!"

"How about this, you return the purse to the person and buy me two bottles of soju, and I'll pay you to see your grandmother. How about we just pretend that what happened today never happened?"

Perhaps because Wang Xiaoshun lost both his parents like himself, Xiao Heng felt pity for him.

"real?"

Wang Xiaoshun looked at him in disbelief.

Xiao Heng raised his eyebrows: "I never lie."

Wang Xiaoshun looked suspicious: "Why are you helping me?"

Xiao Heng threw the purse in his hand to him and gave him two taels of silver for wine: "Why are you talking so much nonsense, little brat? Isn't it good for me? Go now!"

"I……"

Wang Xiaoshun bit his lower lip, and before he could finish his words, Xiao Heng kicked him on the butt without any hesitation.

"Stop talking nonsense and go quickly. I'm waiting for some soju."

"Thank you very much, sir. Thank you very much, sir! I, Wang Xiaoshun, am willing to work like a slave to repay your kindness in this life!"

Wang Xiaoshun grinned. It was the first sincere smile he had shown since his grandmother fell ill.

"Go quickly. I'll wait here for you to come back from buying wine. I'm warning you, don't have any other little ideas. I'll be watching you the whole time."

Xiao Heng stretched out two fingers and pointed at his eyes, then pointed at Wang Xiaoshun.

"Got it, sir!"

Wang Xiaoshun ran out of the alley as soon as possible, fearing that he would keep Xiao Heng waiting for a long time.

Looking at his running back, Xiao Heng shook his head helplessly and murmured, "Who wants you to be like a cow or a horse?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he flew to the roof, and all of a sudden the bustling scene on the street came into view.

Xiao Heng stood on the eaves with his hands behind his back, admiring the scenery of the city.

Inadvertently, I caught a glimpse of the plaque hanging in front of a lantern shop on the street ahead. It was shaking and loose, as if it would fall to the ground in the next moment! "Not good!"

Xiao Heng's eyes lit up, and he used his Qinggong to rush towards the crumbling plaque in front of him! Kacha——

"No, no, the plaque is going to fall, everyone, get out of the way!"

"Miss!"
