He Feng had just fallen asleep when he heard a child crying in the yard. Upon listening carefully, he found that it was Xiao Ya's crying.

He Feng washed his face and went out. Everyone in the yard was watching the fun, even Liu Haizhong was standing behind him with his hands behind his back, watching.

The stepmother opened the door and saw Xiaoya squatting at the door crying. She became even more upset. She walked over, pulled Xiaoya up, and said viciously: "Why are you crying? If you cry again, I will throw you out!" Xiaoya was so scared that she stopped crying and her body kept shaking.

The stepmother looked at Xiaoya's pitiful appearance, but she did not feel the slightest pity in her heart. Instead, she felt even more upset. She pushed Xiaoya hard and she fell to the ground.

"You are such a burden. You just cry all day long. You are so annoying!" the stepmother scolded.

Xiao Ya silently got up from the ground, not daring to make another sound. She knew that her crying would only make her stepmother even angrier.

Seeing Xiaoya not daring to resist, the stepmother's anger subsided a little. She turned and walked into the house, leaving Xiaoya alone outside.

When He Feng came out, he saw Xiao Ya crying at his door, and he couldn't help but feel pity for her. He walked over slowly and asked softly, "Xiao Ya, what's wrong with you? Did someone bully you? Tell me, I will help you."

However, at this moment, Xiaoya's stepmother came out of the house. When she saw He Feng, she immediately showed an unhappy expression. She said loudly: "This is our family's business, what does it have to do with you! Are you bored, or is Xiaoya your daughter?"

He Feng was angered by her words, but he tried to stay calm. He looked at Xiaoya's stepmother and said firmly, "As a neighbor, it's my duty to care about Xiaoya. She's just a little kid crying here, shouldn't I ask her?"

Xiao Ya's stepmother disagreed. She sneered and said, "Hmph, that sounds nice. I think you just want to meddle in other people's business. Xiao Ya is my daughter, and I will naturally take good care of her. You don't need to worry about her." After saying that, she was about to pull Xiao Ya into the house.

He Feng grabbed Xiaoya and looked at the scars on her body with heartache. He asked angrily, "Although you are the child's parents, how can you beat the child like this? Look at the scars on the child's body. Do you still have any humanity?"

When Xiaoya's stepmother heard this, she was very unhappy, but she didn't dare to confront He Feng head-on, so she turned around and shouted into the house: "You bastard, are you dead in the house? Can't you see that I'm being bullied? Why don't you come out and help!"

Xiaoya's father ran out in a hurry upon hearing the noise. When he saw He Feng, he was terrified. He knew that even He Yuzhu was no match for He Feng, let alone himself. So, he looked at He Feng and said confidently, "This is my family's business. What does it have to do with you?"

He Feng hugged Xiaoya tightly, his eyes full of heartache and anger. He pointed at the wound on Xiaoya's body and asked in a trembling voice: "What happened? How could you treat your daughter like this?"

Xiaoya's father lowered his head, not daring to look He Feng in the eye. His lips moved, but he couldn't say anything. He knew he had done something wrong, but he didn't know how to face He Feng's questioning.

But Xiao Ya's stepmother looked at He Feng and said, "Xiao Ya stole my money. Can't I educate her?" There was a hint of pride in her tone, as if she felt she was right.

Xiao Ya shook her head aggrievedly: "I've already told you that I didn't steal it, why don't you believe me?" Her eyes were full of despair and helplessness.

Xiaoya's stepmother wanted to say something, but He Feng saw Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui watching the fun, and he knew in his heart that they were not good people. They always liked to watch other people's fun, but were unwilling to take any responsibility. He thought to himself, these people are really hateful, wanting to stay out of everything, it's just wishful thinking.

He Feng thought about the Jia family incident that had happened many times before, and every time they would get involved. But this time they actually wanted to evade responsibility. How could this be possible? He decided to let them also have a taste of being involved.

In fact, one day when He Feng was at work, he accidentally saw Xiao Ya's father talking to Qin Huairu and gave Qin Huairu some money. From then on, He Feng began to suspect that Xiao Ya's father had stolen the money.

So, he looked at Liu Haizhong and said, "Uncle, isn't this your business? Why don't you take care of it? Aren't there some things you are always taking care of? Are you just going to watch that little girl get beaten?" There was a hint of sarcasm and questioning in his words, hoping to attract Liu Haizhong's attention.

Liu Haizhong walked slowly with his hands behind his back. He tilted his head slightly, with a smug look on his face, as if he was enjoying everyone's attention. His eyes swept through everyone and finally landed on He Feng, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"He Feng, what's the matter with you calling me out?" Liu Haizhong asked with a hint of dissatisfaction in his voice.

He Feng looked at Liu Haizhong and laughed in his heart. He knew that Liu Haizhong was a face-loving person, so he deliberately called him out in front of everyone just to embarrass him.

"Uncle, you are the uncle in our yard, you have to take care of this matter." He Feng said with an aggrieved expression on his face.

Liu Haizhong frowned, feeling somewhat reluctant. He had only wanted to come and see the excitement, but he did not expect to be called out by He Feng. However, he could not refuse in front of everyone, so he had to bite the bullet and said, "Okay, tell me, what's the matter?"

He Feng recounted the whole story, and after listening to it, Liu Haizhong secretly complained in his heart. He knew that this matter was not easy to handle, and if it was not handled properly, it might offend people. However, he could not show his incompetence in front of everyone, so he had to say: "I will handle this matter, tell me what happened."

When Xiaoya's stepmother saw that it was Liu Haizhong, she suddenly perked up and cried, "Uncle, my life is so miserable. I am the one who disciplines my own child, so what does He Feng have to do with it? Isn't this just meddling in other people's business?"

Liu Haizhong coughed and said, "Tell me, how do you beat a child?"

In fact, Liu Haizhong thought that although he was Xiao Ya's stepmother, there was nothing wrong with his discipline. After all, beatings are the rule for success. But now he is a uncle, so he still has to ask.

Xiaoya's stepmother told her everything about how Xiaoya stole the money: "That's why I wanted to teach her a lesson."
