Chapter 434

With that punch, He Youde let out a scream and collapsed backward.

Clutching his eye, he shouted, "My eye! Ouch, my eye! Someone hit me! Dad, catch that bastard!"

He Quan, who was about to fetch some private savings for his son, heard the scream and immediately turned around, rushing over to help his son up.

"Youde, are you okay?" He Quan helped his son up.

He glared at the person at the door, who was wearing a scarf and a knitted hat, obscuring his face, but his burly figure was unmistakable.

"Who are you? Why did you hit my son? Does our family have any grudge against you?" He Quan demanded cautiously, staring at the person at the door.

At the door, Zheng Er'gou flexed his wrist, thinking of the instructions given to him by the Qi family's young master. He deliberately deepened his voice, making it unrecognizable: "No grudge, I just don't like the look of you. Got a problem with that?"

As he spoke, he barged in.

"What are you doing? Don't come any closer! I'm warning you, this is our home. If you make trouble..." He Quan was terrified. Is this guy out of his mind?

They didn't even know each other, and he just started hitting people?

"Make trouble? I just don't like you! Let me tell you, from now on, I'll beat you every time I see you!" After saying this, Zheng Er'gou got a beating from the two men.

At this time, there was no one around. Zheng Er'gou struck fast and fled faster.

He Quan and He Youde, father and son, were unexpectedly thrashed.

He Quan helped his son up again, both in pain and furious, his voice trembling: "Where did this bastard come from? Who dares to hit someone in broad daylight?

We need to report this! We have to report it!"

As he spoke, He Quan was about to drag his son to report the incident, regardless of whether they could find the culprit, they had to at least file a report!

"No!" He Youde realized he was in a critical situation and couldn't afford to report it.

The matter of him directing Old Wang’s people required extreme caution!

"What? Are we just going to let it slide?" He Quan couldn't believe it.

"Dad, just get me the money first. Once we handle the main issue, what do we have to worry about?" He Youde winced in pain. The hits weren't too hard, but they were all on his face!

Making him look a bit of a mess.

"Then come back to your brother's place with me first, and I'll get it for you." He Quan, grim-faced, led He Youde back home.

Just as they were about to enter, they bumped into He Cheng and his wife, who were about to leave.

He Cheng was on his way to his in-laws', but then he saw his grandfather ushering He Youde inside.

Recently, He Cheng loathed his third uncle, He Youde, more than anyone!

If it weren't for his third uncle always calling him out to play when he was young, he wouldn't have ended up like this.

Thinking of this, He Cheng snapped, "Grandpa, Dad said third uncle isn't allowed in our house. Why are you bringing him in?"

He Quan's expression changed: "Don't you see your third uncle got beaten up?"

"If third uncle was beaten up, file a report. Or at least go find He Tian. Why are you bringing him home? He's not allowed in, period. I'll tell Dad if you let him in."

He Cheng stood blocking the doorway.

He Youde wished he could give him a couple of slaps, but he didn't want to offend He Cheng now and make his big brother even more disappointed.

This time, his father had already been through so much for him, which finally made his big brother change his mind.

If he stirred up more trouble, his big brother might really send him to jail!

Thinking about the promise he made to his big brother, he felt distressed.

Why did he leave a paper trail?

"Dad, you go get it, I'll wait out here," He Youde stood at the doorway, thinking that once He Tian returned home, he would take care of He Cheng, that little punk!

As long as Wang Qinghe was out of the picture, everything would return to how it was before.

Seeing his grandson being so stubborn, He Quan had no choice but to go inside to get the money.

He Cheng, his face cold, didn't even look at He Youde, just stood blocking the doorway.

Next to him, Xu Niandi stayed close to He Cheng, also very dissatisfied with He Youde.

If it weren't for He Youde, Cheng ge could have done better and would have treated her even better. All these family troubles wouldn't be a problem.

She couldn't understand what had gotten into her brother, acting crazy, insisting on marrying that young girl.

He didn't even think about his own family's situation!

He Youde quickly pulled out his private savings, which wasn't much, and the five hundred bucks nearly wiped out his savings.

He stuffed the money into a small cloth bag.

When he came out, he passed it to He Youde, hiding it as much as possible.

Seeing this, He Cheng immediately guessed it was money.

Grandpa was really playing favorites, giving money to his third uncle while he lived under their roof.

"Alright, your third uncle has left, why don't you get out of the way?" He Quan found He Cheng irritating in every way.

Hearing this, He Cheng felt satisfied: "Grandpa, we're leaving now. Please don't let third uncle set foot in our house. Even if I'm not home, He Wei is still here."

"Cheng ge, let's go quickly."

Xu Niandi tugged at him, and He Cheng finally took off.

At the neighborhood office.

With the New Year approaching and the snow from yesterday, everyone was extremely busy.

Zhou Jiaojiao wanted to badmouth Bai Xiuxiu, but she didn't get the chance.

She watched Bai Xiuxiu get up to deliver some documents, and immediately stood up, pretending to trip and fall towards Bai Xiuxiu.

"Ah..."

Zhou Jiaojiao let out a small scream, pretending to be startled.

In front, Bai Xiuxiu, upon hearing the sound, quickly sat back down in her seat without even looking back.

It all happened so fast, there was no time to think.

Almost simultaneously, Zhou Jiaojiao, her plan having failed, fell heavily with a thud.

Bai Xiuxiu stared blankly at Zhou Jiaojiao sprawled on the ground, thinking, *Why does everyone pull this stunt?*

Was Zhou Jiaojiao out of her mind?

If someone was sitting behind her, she might not be on her guard and would just walk forward.

But Zhou Jiaojiao? Being any less cautious would be risking her life!

"What's going on?" Director Gao, who was working up front, heard the thud and looked up.

"Director, Zhou Jiaojiao took a fall," Little Chen said, feeling awkward. He had just seen it but wasn’t sure if it was a deliberate fall or just bad luck.

Surely, she couldn’t be that dumb, right?

"Is she injured? If not, get her up quickly," Director Gao frowned.

Hearing this, Little Chen had no choice but to help her up, being her assigned guide.

Zhou Jiaojiao stood up, dust all over her face, her eyes flashing with a murderous glare.

As soon as she spoke, she sounded deeply wronged: "Ma'am, why didn’t you help me? I slipped, and if you had caught me, I wouldn’t have fallen."

"Do I have eyes in the back of my head?" Bai Xiuxiu shot her a look and snapped back.

"What?" Zhou Jiaojiao was taken aback.

"Do I have hands on my back?" Bai Xiuxiu pressed on.
