The heavens set sail from the courtyard

In the darkness, He Wenyuan secretly hid in the corner of the wall, keeping a close eye on the entrance to his own kitchen.

Suddenly, a hand patted He Wenyuan on the shoulder.

"Oh dear!" He Wenyuan couldn't help but exclaim, then instinctively covered his mouth to prevent the sound from spreading.

"Second sister, what are you doing!" He Wentao's voice rang out from behind.

He Wenyuan breathed a huge sigh of relief when he saw that the person behind him was He Wentao.

"Keep your voice down." He Wenyuan quickly covered his younger brother He Wentao's mouth.

He Wentao was very confused. He pushed He Wenyuan's hand away and whispered, "Second sister, what are you doing?"

He Wenyuan put his index finger to his lips, gently shushed, and then looked towards the kitchen.

He Wentao followed his second sister's gaze and looked toward the kitchen, but didn't find anything special.

"The eldest sister is washing her hair inside." He Wenyuan pulled He Wentao aside and said, "I'll have my younger brother take a note to Old Liu."

He Wentao asked, puzzled, "Why?"

He Wenyuan chuckled wickedly, “I’ll arrange to meet Old Liu in the kitchen in my sister’s name. If Old Liu dares to come, I’ll run out and say someone is being indecent.”

He Wentao's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

"Old Liu is being a pervert, and his target is an older woman?"

He Wenyuan said smugly, "Once Lao Liu's reputation as a scoundrel spreads, let's see why he gets married."

He Wentao asked hesitantly, "Won't my older sister suffer a loss?"

He Wenyuan said, "Big sister is just getting a haircut, what loss could she possibly suffer! Once Old Liu's charge of indecent assault is proven, he'll definitely move out of the alley, and we'll never see him again!"

He Wentao got excited and said, "I'll go get a sack. When the time comes, I'll put it over Old Liu's head, and he won't be able to run away."

He Wenyuan said happily, "How could I not have thought of that? You go quickly, I'll stay here and watch over things."

He Wentao quickly ran to his neighbor's house, where he remembered there was a burlap sack at the door.

He Wenyuan stared intently at the kitchen, and from the shadows he noticed that his older sister had already started washing her hair, which made him a little anxious.

Just when He Wenyuan thought his younger brother He Wenda hadn't brought the note, a dark figure slowly approached the He family's kitchen.

"Old Liu really came!" He Wenyuan exclaimed excitedly, his eyes fixed on the dark figure.

Just then, He Wentao brought over a burlap sack.

He Wenyuan covered his younger brother's mouth, pointed in the direction of the dark figure, and then said in a voice that only He Wentao could hear, "Old Liu is here. Let's not make any rash moves. Let's put the sack on him when he gets to the kitchen door."

The He family lived in a single-story house. Originally, He's father built a small shed by the wall outside the house to serve as a kitchen.

Later, when Liu Hongchang was building his house, he simply renovated the He family's kitchen and turned it into a small room that could serve as both a kitchen and a convenient place to take a bath.

The kitchen door faces the yard, and there's a glass panel on top of the door. To make showering easier, Liu Hongchang installed curtains; he simply locks the door and draws the curtains each time he showers.

He Wenhui was washing her hair inside, and outsiders could only see a shadow through the glass in the door.

The dark figure slowly crept to the door, seemingly intending to knock. Seeing that the time was right, He Wenyuan quickly pulled He Wentao along to put on the burlap sack.

He Wentao moved swiftly, shoving the sack over the dark figure's head and then kicking him to the ground.

This kick was somewhat driven by personal grudges. He Wentao kicked with great force, even using all his strength, and aimed at the most painful spot for a man's lower body.

In the darkness, a shrill scream pierced the sky. Because of the injury to his lower body, the sound was sharp and very noticeable.

He Wenyuan then started shouting and yelling.

"Someone come quick, catch this pervert!"

"Someone's being indecent! Help!"

While He Wenyuan was shouting, He Wentao was also busy punching and kicking the person on the ground.

"I'll teach you to be a hooligan."

"I'll teach you a lesson for peeping at my sister while she's showering!" "I'll beat you to death, you pervert!"

The neighbors soon heard the commotion and came out in twos and threes.

Who's being a scoundrel?

"Where are the scoundrels?!"

"Which bastard dares to act like a hooligan in our courtyard!"

He Wenyuan, always eager to stir up trouble, pointed at the person on the ground and said, "Liu Hongchang is a pervert! He peeked at my sister while she was washing her hair!"

"What?! Liu Hongchang is being a thug?!" The neighbors were shocked, only then noticing the person being beaten by He Wentao on the ground!

"There must be some mistake! How could Liu Hongchang act like a hooligan?" the neighbors questioned.

He Wenyuan said smugly, "I saw Liu Hongchang sneakily peeping at my sister while she was washing her hair."

"He Wenyuan, don't talk nonsense." Wang Gang's voice suddenly came from behind the crowd.

"Huh?!" He Wenyuan was stunned, and then he saw Wang Gang push through the crowd and run out from the back.

He Wentao also stopped what he was doing and stared at Wang Gang in disbelief.

"Liu Hongchang, what are you doing here? Who is that person lying on the ground?" He Wenyuan suddenly felt a pang of panic, sensing that things were beyond her expectations.

Wang Gang sneered, "I just heard someone shouting 'Catch the hooligan!' so I ran out of my house to see what was going on. I never expected to be wrongly accused of being a hooligan."

"Yes! I just saw Mr. Liu come out of his house with my own eyes. How could he be a hooligan?" Old Zhang, the neighbor, said the truth.

Erqing's mother then spoke up: "Everyone, quickly take a look at who this hooligan is. Perhaps He Wenyuan has mistaken him for someone else."

He Wentao quickly removed the sacks from the person's head on the ground, revealing a distorted face to everyone.

"Daqing!" Erqing's mother exclaimed and rushed over.

The person on the ground was none other than He Wenhui's fiancé, Daqing.

"Brother Daqing, it's you!?" He Wenyuan realized he had gotten into trouble.

At this moment, Daqing covered his groin with both hands, his face was bruised and swollen, and he was in so much pain that he couldn't even speak.

Although He Wentao was young, he was incredibly ruthless, aiming every move at Daqing's vitals. Luckily, He Wentao was still a minor and just a kid, otherwise Daqing would have been half-dead.

"Why did Daqing peep at He Wenhui while she was taking a bath?"

"Aren't they getting married this weekend?"

"Exactly! They're about to get married, why would they be peeping at He Wenhui while she's taking a shower?"

He Wenhui had heard the commotion long ago, and without caring that her hair was still wet, she quickly opened the door and ran out.

"What exactly happened?" He Wenhui was still a little confused and didn't know what had happened!

"He Wentao, look what you've done to my son!" Erqing's mother yelled at He Wentao like a madwoman.

"I didn't know he was Brother Daqing," He Wentao said慌张地, "I thought Liu Hongchang was harassing my older sister!"

He Wenhui asked curiously, "What exactly happened?"

He Wenyuan knew she had caused trouble and wanted to slip away, but Wang Gang was not about to let her get away with it.

"He Wenhui, does your fiancé have any unusual fetishes, like peeping at people taking a bath?" Wang Gang said sarcastically.

“Nonsense, my son didn’t peek at He Wenhui taking a bath,” Erqing’s mother said, hugging her son with heartache.

"Erqing's mother, isn't it inappropriate for you to protect your son at this time?" Wang Gang said, pointing at He Wenyuan.
"He Wenyuan just said that he saw someone peeping at her older sister while she was taking a bath. They were caught red-handed. They still want to deny it!"

The neighbors started looking at Daqing and Erqing's mother with strange eyes, and some even whispered among themselves.

"I never expected Daqing to be this kind of person!" (End of Chapter)
