"Keep your voice down, I'm doing this for Xiaochun's own good." Shu Heping lowered his voice, "Xiaochun, I asked Zhengzhi, and Xiao Zhao didn't actually hurt Xiaochun when he was being held."
Lu Xiaolan refused to accept and stiffened her neck to speak, but Shu Heping grabbed her hand.
"I know you're going to say that Xiao Zhao is definitely going to bully Xiao Chun, but he hasn't actually done anything yet. Under these circumstances, as long as Xiao Zhao doesn't admit it, we can't convict him. The most important thing is that the two of them are indeed dating."
"Xiao Zhao has a new partner and they have broken up." Lu Xiaolan was filled with anger. Why on earth could that bastard be released after bullying Lu Xiaochun?
"Xiao Lan, what if Xiao Zhao says they haven't broken up? If this matter becomes a big deal, it will hurt Xiao Chun the most. If we settle it privately, it will hurt Xiao Chun less."
He had handled a case like this before. The man was locked up, but the matter dragged on for a long time and many people knew about it. The woman's reputation was damaged, and she had to marry far away. She also had to keep it a secret from her in-laws, and her life was not easy.
Lu Xiaochun is his sister-in-law, and he doesn't want Lu Xiaochun to live like that in the future.
He used to insist on punishing criminals, but in the case of Xiao Zhao, he didn't really succeed, so the punishment would not be severe. However, if the matter became a big deal, the woman's reputation would be greatly affected.
Lu Xiaolan understood what Shu Heping meant. She was very angry and didn't want to forgive Xiao Zhao at all.
But what Shu Heping said made sense. If this matter became a big deal, it would not benefit Lu Xiaochun at all.
Lu Xiaochun now has a job and has moved his household registration to the city. If his reputation were to be damaged because of Xiao Zhao, he would be so upset.
"But, are we just going to let him off like this?" Lu Xiaolan was very dissatisfied and spoke in a bad tone.
"I didn't say to forgive him. Of course, he has to be punished and his family has to compensate Xiaochun. Most importantly, don't let him go out and talk nonsense."
Shu Heping came up with this idea after hearing what happened at the police station.
If you want to punish Xiao Zhao, you can use other methods. If you use this method, Xiao Zhao will not be locked up for long. If rumors spread, Xiaochun will suffer greater harm.
Lu Xiaolan felt bitter. She wanted Xiao Zhao to be punished, but she didn't want her sister to get hurt.
"You don't have to make a decision now. You can discuss it with Xiaochun tomorrow. Xiao Zhao made a mistake, so he will be locked up for a few days anyway."
Even if Shu Heping planned to settle the matter privately, he was not prepared to let Xiao Zhao off easily.
Lu Xiaolan nodded with a bitter face and asked Shu Heping to take care of the child today, and she would sleep with Lu Xiaochun at night.
Shu Heping agreed without any hesitation. At most, he would just make sure the children didn't wet the bed at night. There was no problem at all.
Lu Xiaolan frowned and returned to the small room where Lu Xiaochun slept. She lay on the bed, unable to sleep at all. She cursed Xiao Zhao to death in her heart, but also felt sorry for Lu Xiaochun. How could she be so unlucky? Good days were clearly just around the corner, but she had to encounter such a thing again.
That night, Lu Xiaolan was half asleep and had several dreams. She woke up at dawn. Lu Xiaochun was still sleeping beside her. She got up, put on her clothes, went back to her room to help dress the two children, and then came back to wake Lu Xiaochun up.
She called out several times, but Lu Xiaochun didn't respond. She shook Lu Xiaochun a few times: "Xiaochun, Xiaochun, wake up?"
Lu Xiaochun opened his eyes dazedly and murmured, "Sister, I feel dizzy and uncomfortable."
Lu Xiaolan put her hand on Lu Xiaochun's forehead and exclaimed, "Oh, Xiaochun, you have a fever. It's so hot. Put on some clothes. I'll take you to see a doctor."
Lu Xiaochun felt weak all over, without any strength at all. She sat up with the help of Lu Xiaolan and touched her forehead: "Do I have a fever?"
"Come on, Xiaochun, put on your clothes, I'll take you to see it."
Lu Xiaolan cursed Xiao Zhao again in her heart. She felt that Lu Xiaochun must have had a fever because he was frightened yesterday.
With the help of Lu Xiaolan, Lu Xiaochun put on his clothes and staggered out of the house.
Lu Xiaolan told Shu Heping and asked him to ask for leave for herself and Lu Xiaochun, then she rode her bicycle and took Lu Xiaochun to the hospital for treatment.
Lu Xiaochun was not completely unconscious. She had a fever, and the cold wind on the road made her more awake. She hugged Lu Xiaolan's waist and said, "Sister, I'm fine. I just need to take some medicine. There's no need to go to the hospital."
Lu Xiaolan ignored her and pedaled her bike hard to the hospital.
The doctor took Lu Xiaochun's temperature and found it was almost 40 degrees, so he asked Lu Xiaolan to hold her and get an antipyretic injection first.
Originally, the doctor wanted to give Lu Xiaochun an IV, but Lu Xiaochun said he didn't want to be hospitalized at all, so in the end he could only take some medicine and go home.
However, the doctor said that if Lu Xiaochun felt unwell, he should go to the hospital immediately.
Even if Lu Xiaochun is an adult, if the high fever lasts for a long time, he may become a fool.
Lu Xiaolan was so scared that she pulled Lu Xiaochun to the hospital, but Lu Xiaochun insisted on not being hospitalized.
The doctor thought they were afraid of spending money, so he sighed and prescribed medicine for them.
Lu Xiaolan supported Lu Xiaochun and sat in the corridor for a while, and only breathed a sigh of relief when her forehead was no longer so hot.
"Xiaochun, you're not feeling well. You'll get better faster if you get an IV drip at the hospital."
Lu Xiaochun kept his head down, and his voice didn't sound very real.
"Sister, I'm tired and I want to go home."
Lu Xiaolan felt distressed when she heard Lu Xiaochun talking. She cursed Xiao Zhao in her heart, then helped Lu Xiaochun walk out slowly.
However, Lu Xiaolan first took Lu Xiaochun to a state-owned restaurant to eat a bowl of shredded pork noodles. She also paid extra money and asked the chef to crack an egg into it.
"Xiaochun, eat more. When you're full, go back and take a good sleep."
Lu Xiaolan placed a large bowl of noodles in front of Lu Xiaochun.
Although Lu Xiaochun was weak, she was not stupid. When she saw that Lu Xiaolan only bought one bowl of noodles, she knew that Lu Xiaolan was worried about her.
"Sister, I can't eat so much."
"You can eat now. You just need to eat more and you will get better faster." Lu Xiaolan insisted that Lu Xiaochun eat.
But Lu Xiaochun was frightened last night and had a fever so he had no strength left. He could only eat half a bowl of noodles and couldn't eat any more.
Lu Xiaolan insisted that Lu Xiaochun eat all the shredded meat and eggs before she picked up the bowl and ate the noodles in a few bites.
After eating the noodles, Lu Xiaolan asked for a big bowl of noodle soup and asked Lu Xiaochun to drink it. She wiped the sweat off her head, put on her hat and scarf, and sent her home.
Lu Xiaochun lay on Lu Xiaolan's back, feeling particularly warm. She murmured, "Sister, you are so nice."
Lu Xiaolan was riding her bicycle hard and did not hear what Lu Xiaochun said.
When the two sisters returned home, everyone in the family who had to go to work had gone to work, the children had gone out to play, and only Shu's mother was at home.
"You're back. There's porridge in the kitchen." Shu's mother just glanced at the two sisters and lowered her head to paste the matchboxes.
