Courtyard House: Drunk and barging into the Xu family's house, I woke up numb.

Yan Bugui was still wondering, but Cao Xu, who was standing to the side, saw the two men behind Jiang Hai carrying a stick as they walked over.

"This guy only went in for a few days, how come he's been brought back?"

At this moment, Qin Huairu also noticed it, and before Jiang Hai could speak, she had already run over.

"Bang Geng, what happened to you? Why were you carried back?"

Jianghaidao.

"Qin Huairu, these two are juvenile detention center officers. They just want to talk to you about the 'sticky rice cake' thing."

"I just came to show you the way. Okay, I've delivered the person, so I'll be going now."

Jiang Hai shook hands with the juvenile detention center's officers and left. He didn't want to stay in that place any longer; it was too chaotic.

After seeing Jiang Hai off, one of the tall guards came forward and addressed Qin Huairu.

"Comrade Qin Huairu, your son got into an argument with someone in the dormitory last night."

“A few people got into a fight, and in the process, your son’s arm was broken.”

“We took Banggeng to the nearest hospital for treatment last night, and his arm has now been set.”

"However, it takes a hundred days to recover from a serious injury, so Bang Geng is not suitable to stay in the juvenile detention center now."

“We have severely criticized and punished those who took action.”

"But they are still young and their minds are not mature enough, so it is inevitable that they will quarrel again and cause trouble for Jia Geng in private."

"After discussion among the leaders of our correctional facility, we have decided to send Bang Geng back to you first, and we will make a final decision after he has recovered from his injuries."

Qin Huairu asked with tears in her eyes.

"Do you mean our terrier doesn't need to go to the correctional facility anymore?"

"That's what the tall guard said."

"It's not that he doesn't need to go anymore, it's that he doesn't need to go anymore during his recovery period."

"However, we have also taken into consideration the situation of Bang Geng, if he does not make any further mistakes during his recovery period."

"After he recovers, we will include the period of his convalescence in his disciplinary period and deduct it from it."

Hearing this, Qin Huairu was overjoyed, because she had already thought of a way to spare Bang Geng from punishment: to have him recuperate at home for half a year.

Just as Qin Huairu was secretly pleased, she heard the warden's voice again.

"Qin Huairu, there's something we need to remind you of."

“Jia Geng’s situation falls under the category of home detention, so you have the responsibility to supervise and look after him.”

"If Jia Geng makes another mistake that would lead to him being sent to a juvenile detention center while he is at home, we will punish him more severely."

"The penalty could be double or triple, depending on the severity of the matter."

"So, you need to keep a close eye on him during this period, understand?"

Although Qin Huairu felt sorry for her son, she quickly agreed when she thought that he could stay at home instead of going to the juvenile detention center.

"Comrade instructor, don't worry, I will definitely educate him properly."

"We will never let him do anything illegal again."

The warden gave Qin Huairu a receipt to sign, and after that, the two left.

Qin Huairu looked at her son lying on the stretcher, feeling extremely distressed.

Just then, Xu Damao, who was leaving for work, walked over and laughed when he saw the scene.

"Hey, what happened to you? You even managed to come back from the correctional facility covered in injuries."

"Tell me, how unpopular must you be?"

Yi Zhonghai came out of the house and reprimanded Xu Damao.

"Xu Damao, what are you saying, making sarcastic remarks?"

"Bang Geng's arm is broken, don't you have any sympathy?"

Yan Bugui chimed in from the side.

"Xu Damao, you've gone too far with what you've said."

"It's just a chicken."

"Why are you still so vengeful?"

Xu Damao sneered.

"..." An old man...

"No, you're not an old man anymore, Yi Zhonghai..."

No sooner had Xu Damao uttered those words than Yi Zhonghai slapped him across the head.

Cao Xu was also stunned when he saw it. In his memory, this seemed to be the first time Yi Zhonghai had ever hit someone.

However, as soon as he swung his hand out, Cao Xu knew he wouldn't hit him; he had that much insight.

Sure enough, Xu Damao dodged the slap.

"Yi Zhonghai, why are you hitting me?"

Yi Zhonghai's spittle flew everywhere.

"I'm hitting you, you heartless, disrespectful bastard."

"Whether I'm an old man or not, I'm still your Uncle Yi. It's not your place, a junior, to mock me!"

"Don't even mention hitting you now, I feel like beating you up even in front of your father."

"Don't even mention you, I've beaten up your father, Xu Fugui, just the same way."

Xu Damao said indifferently.

"Alright, Yi Zhonghai, don't try to use your old lady's old-fashioned ways on me."

"Now you're showing kindness and asking for sympathy? Where were you before?"

"If you have any compassion, why did you withhold money from Sha Zhu and Yu Shui?"

"Pretentious and hypocritical!"

Enraged by Xu Damao's words, Yi Zhonghai clutched his chest and looked at Cao Xu beside him.

"Cao Xu, you're from the security department, are you just going to watch me get yelled at like that?"

Cao Xu rolled his eyes at him.

"Yi Zhonghai, Xu Damao's words were a bit excessive, but they were reasonable and there's not much fault with them."

"Besides, he didn't lay a hand on you; this is just a neighborhood dispute."

"If you think it's wrong of him to disrespect his elders and not stand there waiting for you to hit him, then go to the neighborhood committee and report him."

After saying this, Cao Xu didn't even glance at Yi Zhonghai before turning to Yan Bugui.

"Third Uncle, why don't you call a hospital-wide meeting and help First Uncle deal with this?"

Yan Bugui immediately waved his hand upon hearing this.

"Cao Xu, you must be joking with me."

"It's almost time, I have to go back to school. I have two classes this afternoon."

Seeing Yi Zhonghai defeated, Qin Huairu helped Bang Geng up.

"Xu Damao, don't say anything else."

"If you hadn't kept pressing the issue, would our Bang Geng have been arrested?"

"If he hadn't been arrested, would he have ended up in a correctional facility?"

"If he hadn't gone to the correctional facility, would his arm have been broken?"

Xu Damao received a notice from the factory this morning, ordering him to sweep the streets for a month as punishment.

He was feeling incredibly frustrated and angry, so when he heard Qin Huairu speak like that, he immediately retorted sharply.

"Qin Huairu, don't try to talk nonsense with me."

"That guy went to the correctional facility because he broke the law himself, what does that have to do with me?"

"If that's your logic, then Jia Dongxu wouldn't have put him against the wall in the first place, and he wouldn't be in this mess now, nor would he have had his arm broken."

Cao Xu almost burst out laughing when he heard this; Xu Damao's cursing skills had really improved.

If Jia Dongxu had actually pinned him against the wall back then, let alone losing an arm, he probably wouldn't even have had the chance to grow one back.

"You...you...you bastard!"

Cao Xu couldn't stand it anymore; if he kept watching, he'd be late.

He shook his head and was about to leave when Qin Huairu called out to him.

"Cao Xu, our Bang Geng will probably need to take medication after his injury. Will the disciplinary office reimburse us?"

Cao Xu thought for a moment and then said to Miao.
