Once Yibao saw what was happening, he immediately rushed forward.

He was so anxious about his little brother being beaten that he had long forgotten his mother’s admonition not to touch girls’ bodies or anything like that.

In such an emergency, how could he remember so much?

Just as his hand was about to touch Zhang Qian, intending to push her back in the same way, he heard Yibao shout loudly, “Ah… I’m being molested! Someone is molesting me!” Erbao remembered that the women in the village would roll on the ground when they felt wronged, so he endured the pain in his buttocks and also rolled on the ground.

“Wu wu wu… a girl is molesting me, wu wu wu… wu wu wu…” Yibao’s hand paused, and he looked at Erbao, whose mouth could fit a goose egg.

Suddenly, his mother’s words came back to him, “Don’t touch girls’ bodies.”

He breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, Erbao shouted, or else he would have touched her too.

When Zhang Qian heard this, she felt terrible, “I didn’t…” Her eyes were red with anger.

She hadn’t molested him.

“You did, you did, you did! You touched my chest, wu wu wu… You have no shame, touching a boy’s chest, wu wu wu… I’m being molested…” Erbao rolled on the ground like lightning.

At this time, not only were students leaving school, but it was also the time for soldiers to eat, so students, teachers, and soldiers from the camp came over one after another, attracting quite a crowd.

Among them were two people who knew Yibao.

“Yibao, Yibao, what’s wrong with you?” After work, Lu Hong went to the canteen to get food.

Seeing a crowd here, she walked in and saw the children of Captain Lin’s family, so she asked.

Of course, if it had been someone else’s child, she would have asked too.

When the two brother saw it was Lu Hong, they immediately complained.

Yibao said, “Aunt Lu, she hit my little brother and knocked him to the ground.”

“I didn’t…” Zhang Qian’s tears began to fall, “I didn’t mean to, I didn’t…”

Once they heard her say it wasn’t intentional, everyone understood, which was a kind of indirect admission.

“She was being naughty to me,” Erbao lay on the ground and loudly proclaimed, “A girl touching a boy, that’s also being naughty. Her mother is a bad person, bullying my mother, she’s also a bad person, molesting me, wah wah wah… Mother, Erbao is so pitiful, wah wah wah…” His voice was loud, like a big loudspeaker.

If Ning Shu were here, she might not even want to acknowledge him and just walk away.

Growing up in the village, Erbao also liked to gossip usually. This behavior, he learned in the village.

Lu Hong couldn’t help but laugh and cry.

She was in a hurry to cook, but she couldn’t ignore the children. “Zhang Qian, why did you hit Erbao? And Erbao, boys shouldn’t lie on the ground and roll around.”

Erbao stopped rolling but still lay flat on the ground, saying, “I didn’t lie down on the ground myself, she pushed me down, my butt hurts.” Erbao sounded really wronged, and this wasn’t pretending, it was true.

“I didn’t mean to,” Zhang Qian also felt a bit regretful, “I didn’t know he would fall, I really just gave him a push.”

“You were being naughty to me,” Erbao refused to listen.

“I wasn’t, I just gave you a push, I wasn’t being naughty to you,” Zhang Qian’s face turned red with anxiety.

Erbao said, “Boys shouldn’t touch girls’ bodies, so…”

“It’s being naughty. Girls shouldn’t touch boys’ bodies either, that’s also being naughty.” Yibao insisted, no matter how Zhang Qian tried to explain, he wouldn’t listen.

Puchi…

Someone laughed, “This little boy is so cute, whose child is he? But he’s quite aware.”

The adults didn’t take the children’s quarrel seriously.

There were many naughty kids in the family courtyard, but it was the first time they had seen a little boy lying on the ground accusing someone of being naughty to him.

“He’s from the Lin family, Lin Guodong’s home,” Yibao answered.

His father had already taught them in the morning.

He wasn’t called Lin Lao San (Third Lin), ‘San’ was because he was his grandmother’s third son. Just like he was Yibao, because he was his mother’s first son.

“What’s going on?” Lin Guodong came over from the barracks.

He saw a group of people gathered here from a distance, and didn’t know it was his own child.

He happened to hear Yibao’s words, from the Lin family.

Only then did he come over and see that it was his second son and the girl from the Zhang family.

“Dad…” Seeing that it was his dad who came back, Yibao seemed to have found his backbone, “Dad, she hit Erbao and pushed Erbao to the ground.”

“Dad, my butt hurts, she touched me, she was naughty to me,” Erbao also immediately complained.

“Bad person, hit Guoguo!” Sanbao stepped forward, hugged his dad’s leg, and angrily complained.

“I didn’t mean to.” Seeing Lin Guodong back, Zhang Qian was a bit scared, and tears couldn’t help but flow, “I didn’t mean to, wah wah wah…” She also sobbed softly.

Lin Guodong: … He went over, helped Yibao up from the ground, “Get up and speak properly, what’s lying on the ground?”

The moment Erbao was helped up by his dad from the ground, he gasped, “Ouch, ouch, ouch, wah wah wah… Dad, my butt hurts…” It had been a little painful when he was lying on the ground just now, but now that he moved, his butt hurt so much that tears came out.

Seeing this, Lu Hong said, “Did he hurt his tailbone?”

Lin Guodong didn’t take it lightly either.

He quickly picked up Erbao and said, “Yibao, take your brother, Dad will take Erbao to the medical office ahead to check.” With that, he ran over.

Yibao, without hesitation, took Sanbao’s hand and followed.

The discussions at the scene grew louder.

“Could that little boy really have hurt his tailbone?”

“Who knows.”

“If it’s true, then it’s serious.”

“This is just a squabble between children. It’s just about compensating for medical expenses, not a big deal, right?”

“I don’t know whose girl this is. She’s quite fierce, actually knocking someone down.”

“Maybe it’s a misunderstanding.”

“What kind of misunderstanding? Your girl already said it wasn’t intentional, which means she admitted it.”

“I didn’t mean to.” Zhang Qian shouted loudly at them, “I didn’t mean to, I really didn’t mean to, they said my mother is a bad person, said I’m a bad person, that’s why I pushed him, I really didn’t know he would fall.” Tears kept streaming down her face.

“Why are you saying these things to a little girl? Don’t you want to eat lunch?” Lu Hong frowned and shouted loudly.

Everyone here knew Lu Hong, from young to old, everyone knew her.

As soon as she spoke, everyone left immediately.

Lu Hong gently touched Zhang Qian’s head. “Don’t be afraid. I’ll take you home. Can you tell me what happened?”

Zhang Qian nodded.

She also knew Lu Hong, knowing she was a cadre in the family courtyard. “After school, I saw them in the small park and called them home for lunch. But they said my mother is a bad person, and that I’m a bad person too. I got angry, very angry, and pushed him. Then he fell to the ground. I really didn’t mean to.”

She was worried and scared, her voice choked, and tears were about to fall again.

“Good girl, don’t cry. I believe you.” Lü Hong hurriedly comforted her, afraid she would cry again.

She also understood now.

Zhang Qian had struck first, but Yibao had insulted her first.

Of course, strictly speaking, calling someone a bad person wasn’t exactly an insult.

Initially, Zhang Qian had called them home for dinner without malice.

“Do you know why he said your mom is a bad person and called you a nuisance? And why did he say you were being naughty to him?” Talking about this, Lü Hong, a serious person, couldn’t help but want to laugh.

At such a young age, they already knew about being naughty.

“I don’t know why he said my mom is a bad person, but I know why he dislikes me, why he doesn’t like me.” This had happened just yesterday, and Zhang Qian hadn’t lost her memory so quickly. So, she recounted yesterday’s events.

Lü Hong couldn’t help but think, why are there so many grievances between children? It’s as if they have years, even decades, of grudges like adults.

But in yesterday’s incident, Zhang Qian was not wrong.

Playing games is one thing, but hitting someone when you lose is not acceptable.

As for Yibao and Erbao, Lü Hong also knew that children so young wouldn’t understand the complexities of the situation.

“Zhang Qian…” Ning Qin came back with lunch and was surprised to see Lu Hong and Zhang Qian together.

“Mom…” Zhang Qian ran over to Ning Qin as soon as she saw her, but she remembered that her mom was pregnant with her brother and didn’t jump into her arms.

Ning Qin smiled at her, then turned to Lü Hong. “Hello, Director.”

Lü Hong explained, “Comrade Ning Qin, just now Zhang Qian had a quarrel with Lin Guodong’s children…” She recounted the incident without exaggeration or analysis. “Yibao has been taken to the medical office. We don’t know the extent of his injury yet.”

After hearing Lü Hong’s words, Zhang Qian hurriedly said, “Mom, I didn’t mean to. He kept saying you’re a bad person, and that I’m a bad person too, so I got angry and pushed him. Mom, I was wrong. I will apologize to him.”

Listening to Li Hong, Ning Qin felt thunderstruck.

She wasn’t very fond of Zhang Qian, fearing that in the future, when her child was born, Zhang Xian would be biased and unfair to her child.

Now, with Zhang Qian causing this trouble, Ning Qin couldn’t help but frown.

If this incident worsened her and Ning Shu’s issues, or worsened the issues between Zhang Xian and Lin Guodong, what would she do? At present, Ning Qin didn’t want to fall out with Ning Shu.

After all, Lin Guodong was the battalion commander, and falling out would not benefit Zhang Xian.

If Zhang Xian didn’t fare well, how could she?

She just didn’t expect Zhang Qian to cause trouble again.

Whether it was yesterday’s incident or today’s, it was all caused by Zhang Qian, wasn’t it?

If she hadn’t wanted to play with Ning Shu’s child, they wouldn’t have come knocking, and none of this would have happened.

Just like today, if Zhang Qian hadn’t meddled, that child wouldn’t have been pushed over.

The more she thought about it, the less Ning Qin liked Zhang Qian!
