Siheyuan: Big City, Small Love

During the afternoon break, He Lai, Liang Ladi and Ding Qiunan were chatting together.

"He Lai, you are more comfortable. You don't have to do any work all day long. You just need to give orders from the side."

Liang Ladi said.

"Sister Liang, you don't understand this, I'm doing mental work, it takes a lot of mental effort, it's not any easier than your work!"

He Lai argued with a smile.

"Come on, you're the only one doing mental work! If there weren't a bed here, I think you would have fallen asleep."

Liang Ladi said with a pout. Ding Qiunan laughed secretly beside her.

"Sister Liang, all leaders are like this, so you have to make Damao and the others study hard!"

He Lai whispered something in Liang Ladi's ear.

Liang Ladi rolled her eyes at He Lai. She only had a junior high school education and was not in a position to teach a child. Usually, Ding Qiunan and others helped to look after the child.

"Dr. Ding, why haven't you said a word for so long?"

He Lai looked at Ding Qiunan and asked.

"What do you want me to say? I feel pretty bored too. He Lai, can you let me go to Sister Song Xue's place?"

Ding Qiunan is completely focused on medicine and doesn't care about anything else.

"Uh... you think too highly of me. Instead of telling me all this, you might as well go directly to Sister Song Xue. She is definitely more effective than me in speaking."

He Lai smiled bitterly.

"Sister Song Xue said that I can only go with her after the Canton Fair is over." Ding Qiunan said depressedly.

"My dear Doctor Ding, just be content. Others want this opportunity but don't even have it! And you're still reluctant." He Lai said with a smile.

"I don't want to come. I'm studying medicine in the First Hospital now!"

Ding Qiunan said with a bitter face.

"Doctor Ding, I actually have a solution. Are you willing to try it?"

"What method?" Ding Qiunan asked curiously.

"Have you ever heard of disfigurement? I think you could give it a try... Ouch..."

Before He Lai could finish his words, Liang Ladi slapped him in the face.

"Sister Liang, what are you doing!" He Lai immediately moved two meters away from Liang Ladi.

"You are getting more and more out of tune!" Liang Ladi rolled her eyes at He Lai. Ding Qiunan also glared at He Lai.

"Okay, if I can't stay here, I'll go somewhere else! I'll leave first." He Lai patted his butt and planned to go check on Ke'er.

"Where are you going again? You didn't come yesterday." Liang Ladi asked.

"I have something to do and have to go out. Sister Liang, I'll give you my meal ticket. Eat more."

He Lai gave all the meal tickets of the guesthouse to Liang Ladi, since he rarely ate at the guesthouse anyway.

……

At four o'clock in the afternoon, He Lai took a tricycle to the brother and sister's residence on Nanhua West Street. Before he entered the house, he heard Ke'er crying.

He Lai secretly cried out that something was wrong and rushed in quickly. He saw Ye Jun holding a grain bag tightly and letting a man beat him. The man was cursing at him, and Ke'er was also crying on the ground.

When the man saw He Lai suddenly rushing in, he stopped beating him immediately because He Lai was tall and strong and obviously not someone to be trifled with. He panicked inside and wanted to escape immediately.

He Lai was already furious at this time! Without waiting for the man to speak, he rushed forward and used the Iron Mountain Backstroke to knock the man away.

"Big brother, big brother." Ke'er cried out immediately when she saw He coming.

He Lai walked towards the man step by step. If eyes could kill, he would definitely cut this man into pieces!

He even dares to bully children. He is simply a beast.

"Misunderstanding! Misunderstanding, good man, please forgive me."

The man was hit by He Lai's Iron Mountain Kick and felt a sharp pain in his chest. Blood was oozing from his mouth. He could not even stand up and quickly begged for mercy.

He Lai was too lazy to listen to his explanation. If this street urchin dared to do such a thing as snatching a child, why would he hesitate?

He immediately grabbed the man's wrist and exerted force, breaking the bone in the wrist into half!

"Ah... my hand! My hand! Ah..." the man screamed heartbreakingly.

He Lai had no intention of letting him go. He stretched out his right foot and stepped hard on his right ankle, crippling his foot!

The man fainted from the pain.

After He Lai dealt with the man, he helped Ye Jun up and checked his body, which was covered with bruises.

"Does it hurt?" He Lai asked with concern.

"It doesn't hurt, thank you big brother." Ye Jun held the food tightly and showed an ugly smile.

"I'll carry you to the bed first, and then I'll take you to the hospital after I'm done with it."

"Okay." Ye Jun nodded.

He Lai touched his head, hugged him, walked to the bed and put him on it, then picked up Ke'er and comforted him, "Ke'er, don't cry, don't cry, the bad guy has been defeated by big brother."

But Ke'er still lay on He Lai's shoulder and cried bitterly, and couldn't stop at all, which made He Lai very heartbroken.

Fortunately, after a while, Ke'er fell asleep in He Lai's arms.

Seeing that no one had come for such a long time, He Lai walked out of the room and saw that there was already a group of people surrounding them, but no one seemed to come to ask questions.

He Lai thought about it, went to the tricycle driver, gave him one dollar, and asked him to help call the local street office and police station.

After receiving the money, the driver immediately agreed and went there on his tricycle.

He Lai sat on the doorstep holding Ke'er, waiting quietly.

Alas, in this age of cannibalism, it is really not easy for the people below to survive!

Soon, people from the street office and police from the police station came over.

A middle-aged woman saw He Lai sitting at the door holding Ke'er.

"Comrade, what's going on? What happened to Ke'er and the others?" the middle-aged woman asked worriedly.

"Someone broke into the house and robbed it. I have already killed the person. He is inside."

He Lai said indifferently that he didn't expect that someone in Guangcheng would dare to break into a house and rob in broad daylight.

Upon hearing this, two policemen from the police station immediately went into the room to check and found that there was indeed a person lying on the ground. However, they were shocked to see his miserable condition. His right hand was bent, obviously broken, and there was blood all over the ground at his right ankle, which must be disabled.

After the two policemen came out and discussed for a while, they said to He, "Comrade, were you the one who caused his injuries?"

"Yes."

"Then I'm sorry, I have to take you back to the police station to take a statement."

"Okay, the little boy in that room has multiple bruises on his body. Please send him to the hospital as soon as possible."

He Lai said to the middle-aged woman from the street office.

"Okay, okay, I'll send someone to take him to the hospital right away."

When the middle-aged woman heard that Ye Jun was also injured so seriously, she immediately said.

"I'll leave Ke'er to you." He Lai handed the sleeping Ke'er in his arms to her.

He Lai then went to the local police station with the police.

He Lai spent the whole night recording his statement in the police station. After all, he did not belong to Ke'er's family. It was a bit too much to cripple a man's right hand and right foot just for snatching a bag of food.

He Lai now feels a little regretful. He doesn't know if anything will happen to him. He is thinking about whether he should call Director Jiang and others to help deal with it.

The police station was also a bit troubled by this matter. Logically speaking, He Lai's action was self-defense and he was acting bravely, but he was not the person involved in the incident, and his attack was really cruel, directly breaking off hands and feet. Alas, everyone could only sit together to discuss how to deal with the situation.

There was no way. The laws in the 1960s were still imperfect. Some people said that beating a thief to death was not illegal, but if you really beat a thief to death, you would definitely go to jail.
