The heavens set sail from the courtyard

When the police arrived, He Wenhui panicked completely. Yu Qiuhua noticed the stiffness in the person beside her and couldn't help but ask:
"Wenhui, who's here?"

He Wenhui whispered in Yu Qiuhua's ear, "It's the police. Liu Hongchang really called the police."

Yu Qiuhua was startled by what she heard, but she quickly calmed down.

"Officer, please come in," Yu Qiuhua said to the air in front of her.

The police quickly realized that Yu Qiuhua was blind, and their expression immediately softened, and their voice became gentle.

“We received a report from Comrade Liu Hongchang, who said that He Wentao had intentionally harmed him.”

"It's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding." Yu Qiuhua quietly tugged at He Wenhui's arm and said, "Wenhui, quickly pour some water for the two comrades."

"Oh!" He Wenhui responded blankly. At this moment, her mind was in turmoil, and she had no idea what to do.

Ultimately, He Wenhui is just an eighteen-year-old girl. Yu Qiuhua had protected her too well before, and then there was Liu Hongchang. He Wenhui has almost no life experience, and she is completely bewildered when something happens.

Fortunately, Yu Qiuhua was there. Although her eyesight was poor, her mind was bright.

"Comrade, this is Liu Hongchang's wife. He Wentao is her younger brother, that is, Liu Hongchang's brother-in-law."

Hearing Yu Qiuhua say this, the two policemen exchanged a glance and smiled, "Don't be nervous, we're just here to find out what's going on."

“It was just a child’s prank,” Yu Qiuhua sighed. “It’s all my fault for not educating my child properly, which led him to cause trouble.”

"A child?" the policeman asked curiously. "How old is He Wentao this year?"

“My younger brother is nine years old and still in elementary school,” He Wenhui answered first.

Upon hearing He Wentao's age, the two policemen's expressions softened considerably.

"Even children's pranks should have limits," the police officer admonished. "As parents, you can't let your children do whatever they want. I've seen Liu Hongchang's injuries; they're very serious. You parents must educate your children properly in the future."

Yu Qiuhua breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the police had categorized this as a family matter, which made it easier to gloss over the situation.

"I will definitely discipline my child more strictly in the future. I'm sorry to trouble you, officer, to make this trip."

Yu Qiuhua wanted to stand up to express her gratitude, but perhaps because of her mobility issues, she stumbled and almost fell.

"Mom, be careful." He Wenhui quickly helped her mother up.

The two policemen also jumped up from their chairs, almost to help Yu Qiuhua up.

"Don't worry, we'll hand this case over to the neighborhood committee. You should also try to appease Liu Hongchang and minimize the damage."

Seeing the situation at the He family's home, the police didn't want to stay any longer.

"Wenhui, you personally see the two comrades off," Yu Qiuhua instructed her daughter.

"Okay, Mom!"

He Wenhui personally escorted the police out of the compound, and many neighbors along the way couldn't help but point and whisper.

"Why are the police at the He family's house?"

"It must be Liu Hongchang's fault. Wasn't he sent to the hospital before?"

"I heard that He's third son burned Liu Hongchang's buttocks."

"No wonder Liu Hongchang was sent to the hospital with his butt sticking out."

"Did Liu Hongchang call the police?"

"It's pretty much true. Liu Hongchang worked like a slave for the He family, and now he's ended up like this. He must be heartbroken!"

"The He family is also ungrateful and doesn't want to be living such a good life without Liu Hongchang."

"People must never forget their roots, or they'll suffer sooner or later."

He Wenhui vaguely heard the gossip of her neighbors and blushed as she ran home. Yu Qiuhua, hearing the commotion, was much calmer than He Wenhui.

"Wenhui, quickly find Wentao and we'll go to the hospital to apologize to Liu Hongchang in person," Yu Qiuhua said to He Wenhui.

"Mom, it's already dark outside, and the hospital doesn't allow visits to patients. How about we go tomorrow?" He Wenhui was still a little embarrassed.

“No, we must beg Hong Chang for forgiveness tonight. I reckon the neighborhood committee will be coming to our door tomorrow,” Yu Qiuhua said with a stern face.

"Fine! I'll go find Wentao," He Wenhui said reluctantly.

Yu Qiuhua frowned, sensing that her daughter was upset. She wanted to say a few more words of advice, but He Wenhui had already run out the door.

"Sigh, I'll try to persuade Wenhui again later!" Yu Qiuhua felt exhausted, realizing that the older the child got, the harder he was to raise!
…………

At the hospital, two police officers later found Wang Gang, told him about the He family's situation, and advised him to be more magnanimous and not to stoop to the level of a nine-year-old child.

Although Wang Gang was resentful, he had no choice but to suppress his anger.

It's 80 now. When the police encounter such family disputes, they usually hand them over to the neighborhood committee for mediation. But if Wang Gang insists on suing He Wentao over a child, the police will instead advise him to be magnanimous.

After seeing the police off, Wang Gang lay on the hospital bed, feeling a headache coming on.

Divorce is much more complicated now than it will be in the future. Not only do you need a letter from your workplace, but the neighborhood committee will also get involved, trying to persuade you to reconcile rather than separate. Getting a divorce is not so simple.

Another problem is that the doctor informed Wang Gang that he can be discharged tomorrow, but where he will stay after discharge is also a problem.

When Liu Hongchang wanted to marry He Wenhui, he had a falling out with his family. Liu Hongchang not only got into a fight with his elder brother Liu Yunchang, but his mother Wang Cuilan almost hanged herself.

Because of the ugly incident, Wang Gang was unsure whether his mother and older brother would accept him after he returned home.

As for going back to live at the He family's house, Wang Gang didn't even dare to think about it.

"Sigh! Liu Hongchang, that scoundrel, not only turned his family against each other to marry He Wenhui, but he also owes a lot of money. He can only look at his wife but can't touch her. I don't know what he's after!"

Wang Gang sighed and slowly climbed off the bed. His buttocks were still burning with pain, but with his willpower, it no longer affected his movements.

After packing his things, Wang Gang was discharged from the hospital. He anticipated that the He family would come, so he left early, not wanting to see those ungrateful wretches.

According to Liu Hongchang's memory, Wang Gang slowly walked home. Because of the injury on his buttocks, his walking posture was a bit strange, but he didn't care about anything else.

After thinking for a long time, Wang Gang decided to go back to Liu's house because he had no money in his pocket and nowhere else to go.

Three months after "marrying" into the He family, Liu Hongchang used his salary to support the entire family and pay off the debts incurred during his wedding. He was penniless and couldn't afford a single penny.

Standing at his doorstep, Wang Gang hesitated for a moment before knocking.

"Who is it? It's so late." The voice of the eldest brother, Liu Yunchang, came from behind the door.

The door opened quickly, and when Wang Gang saw Liu Yunchang, he gave an expression that was worse than crying.

"Big brother."

"Why did you come back?" Liu Yunchang asked his younger brother irritably. "Weren't you going to be a live-in son-in-law at the He family's house?"

With one hand on his lower back and the other against the wall, Wang Gang said in an awkward posture, "Brother, can I go in first?"

Liu Yunchang then noticed that something was wrong with Wang Gang.

"You're injured? Where are you injured?" Liu Yunchang asked anxiously.

Wang Gang felt a warmth in his heart, thinking that only family members know how to care for their own family!

"Big brother, help me up."

Liu Yunchang quickly helped Wang Gang up, then called out to the courtyard, "Mom, Yingzi, come out quickly, Hongchang is back." (End of Chapter)
