Chapter 62 Speaking ill of her
He didn't mainly provoke those people; it was their foul mouths that were the problem.
Upon hearing this, Xu Sui raised her hand and patted Xu Fei's head, her voice becoming a few decibels deeper.
"Tell us clearly who started it and why."
"Otherwise, whoever it is, will be sent to the police."
If they're not disciplined at such a young age, all they do is fight. What will they be like when they grow up?
Xu Fei suddenly fell silent. He turned his face away and snorted coldly, refusing to look at Xu Sui, as if he were sulking with someone.
Tie Zhu, who was leading the beating, turned pale. He recognized Xu Sui as Xu Fei's sister.
He quickly thought of Xu's son-in-law, an officer who had been injured and returned to his hometown to recuperate, and subconsciously took a few steps back.
The group panicked and whispered among themselves.
"What should we do? They're Xu Fei's sister and brother-in-law. We just said bad things about Xu Fei's sister, they definitely won't let us get away with it..."
Why am I so unlucky?
The person involved witnessed it.
Qin Yunzhou saw the boys fighting in front of him, and they kept their heads down, refusing to speak or look at him.
His eyes darkened, and he swept his gaze over the group, randomly pointing at one of them. He said sternly, "You tell me, who provoked the other first? Who struck first? And what was the reason for the fight?"
The thinnest boy turned pale, sweat beaded on his forehead, and he trembled all over. He hesitated for a long time before finally managing to speak.
"It's...it's us..."
Just as he was about to speak.
Among the group, the leader, Tie Zhu, suddenly stepped forward. "No need to force him. I'll tell you."
"Xu Fei struck first. If he hadn't refrained from doing so, none of us would have hit him."
"If you're here to help Xu Fei fight us, then go ahead and do it."
Qin Yunzhou remained expressionless and looked at Xu Fei, who was standing next to Xu Sui, "Is what he said true?"
"Bullshit! If you hadn't said... said all that bullshit, I wouldn't have bothered with you." Xu Fei was furious and rushed forward to punch Tie Zhu.
Tie Zhu and the others looked somewhat uncomfortable and quickly looked away.
Xu Sui noticed the unusual behavior of the group and quickly pulled her younger brother back, saying, "Alright, stop fighting."
"I know they were in the wrong first, they provoked you first, that's why you hit them, right?"
Xu Fei's body suddenly stiffened, and he was easily pulled back, as if he had become obedient and docile again.
After a moment, he recovered, pursed his lips, and said somewhat awkwardly, "How...how did you know?"
Xu Sui reached out and touched his head, her voice softening and becoming gentler.
"I heard it. I heard that you fought with them to protect me, right?"
She never imagined that her younger brother, whom she had always bullied, would fight with so many people outside for her sake.
Regardless of other things, on this point...
He really is a good younger brother.
Hearing the vicious older sister's gentle voice for the first time made Xu Fei even more uncomfortable; he felt completely out of place.
He immediately moved far away from Xu Sui and hurriedly explained.
"You... don't overthink it. It's just because you have the surname Xu. I'm not fighting for you."
No matter who it is, as long as they are members of the Xu family, he will not let those bastards outside bully them.
In short, it wasn't because of his vicious and hypocritical older sister, Xu Sui.
Xu Sui: "..."
Okay, he's still a brother who says one thing but means another, awkward yet kind of cute.
The men who were fighting realized that their scheme had been exposed.
He turned and ran again.
However, Qin Yunzhou blocked his way again in no time. It was true that his right leg was injured, but he had been in the army for so many years that he could easily deal with a few boys even with crutches.
He stopped everyone, his voice turning completely cold.
"Not a single one is allowed to leave."
"You guys started this trouble, ganging up on Xu Fei. You have to apologize to him before you can leave."
"Otherwise, I will tell your parents and teachers the truth about this."
Tie Zhu and the other boys turned pale and panicked completely.
"No, we can't tell the teacher, and we can't tell our families, or we'll be beaten to death."
"We apologize, Xu Fei, we're sorry, we're so sorry..."
One apology after another rang out.
After apologizing, the group looked up at Qin Yunzhou and asked timidly, "Can...we leave now?"
Qin Yunzhou said calmly, "No."
"You've forgotten one person."
The group was stunned. Tie Zhu, who was in the lead, quickly reacted and ran to Xu Sui. He lowered his head and his face was flushed. "I'm...I'm sorry. We won't say bad things about you anymore."
Seeing this, the others rushed to Xu Sui to apologize, saying, "I'm sorry..."
Xu Sui looked at the children in front of her. They were about the same age as Xu Fei, and some of them looked familiar. They should also be children from the tenement.
Tell me everything you said bad things about me.
She's only been back for two days.
Even the children have started gossiping among themselves.
Tie Zhu lowered his head even further. "I...we...we heard it from others. They said you...that you're very cunning and like to play with men because of your pretty face."
"And you said... you got dumped by a man, and then quickly found an honest guy to take over."
Xu Sui's expression gradually turned cold. "Who spread this rumor?"
"I don't know, that's what everyone in the compound is talking about. We... we overheard it by accident."
Qin Yunzhou did think of someone. If they had any conflicts with anyone since they came back, it was only with his sister-in-law Xiao Fen this morning.
However, things without evidence cannot be 100% certain, and one should not speak them casually.
After leaving the alley.
Xu Fei preferred to stay by Qin Yunzhou's side rather than get close to Xu Sui. He always deliberately kept his distance from her, following her at a moderate distance without wanting to talk to her.
When I was almost home.
Xu Sui called out to Xu Fei, suddenly remembering something.
Why didn't you go to class today?
"Wait, did you skip class again?"
Today is Friday.
Xu Fei is in the fifth grade of elementary school and will be taking the junior high school entrance exam in less than a month.
If he fails the exam, he'll only ever have a primary school diploma.
Xu Fei froze, then immediately ran back to the next room without looking back, as if something was chasing him.
He dislikes going to class the most.
The teachers who taught him were all people who had taught Xu Sui before, or who had heard of Xu Sui.
They all know he is Xu Sui's younger brother, and they all think he is stupid and not as good at studying as Xu Sui.
In class, the teachers never called him Xu Fei, but rather Xu Sui's younger brother.
So what if he's stupid? That's just who he is. He didn't eat anyone's food.
After the people disappeared.
Qin Yunzhou withdrew his gaze, looked at Xu Sui, and after a moment of silence said, "Your younger brother is quite protective of his family. It seems there's some misunderstanding between you two."
Actually, it shouldn't be considered a misunderstanding.
During his visit to the Xu family today, he discovered that perhaps only Wang Yinhua truly welcomed the two of them.
