Chapter 3

“Ouch! Ma Jinmei tripped over something and Wang Xiaocao seized the opportunity to claw at her face.

Xu Lehui lowered his head and bumped into them, mainly Chen Xiaobao who was behind them.

He just saw it. He was the one who tripped him.

Wang Xiaocao was knocked over, and Ma Jinmei took the opportunity to start a fight.

Chen Xiaobao was hit hard in the stomach and fell to the ground.

Xu Lehui rode on him and punched him in the face: “I told you to trip my mother. What does the adults’ fight have to do with you? I’ll beat you to death.”

Chen Xiaobao is one year younger than Xu Lehui. He is usually a little fat and cried loudly when he was beaten.

“Third brother, help me quickly, I’m going to be beaten to death.”

Chen Sanbao was only seventeen years old, and he couldn’t bully a child who was so much younger than him, so he just separated them.

“Sister, go and call Director He over.”

Chen Hongmei nodded, and just after taking a few steps, she stopped when she saw the people outside.

“Stop, stop, what are you doing?”

When everyone saw Director He coming, they all made way for him.

When Old Lady Xu started coming to look for people, someone noticed something was wrong and went to find the women’s director.

Seeing that they were still fighting, Director He quickly called on the women around to separate them.

I saw that several people’s clothes were torn and there were wounds on their faces, hands and necks.

He looked at them seriously, pointing at Chen Xiaobao and Xu Lehui, whose faces were covered with injuries.

“Is this how you set an example for your children? Look at what your children have learned from you.”

In fact, it was mainly Chen Xiaobao who had injuries on his face, neck, arms and legs. Although Xu Lehui also had injuries on his body, they were not as serious as Chen Xiaobao’s.

When Mrs. Chen saw the injuries on her precious grandson’s body, she immediately cried out for justice to Director He.

“Director He, you have to take charge of our family. I don’t know what’s wrong with the Xu family. They came to our house to beat us up. Look at what they’ve done to our little treasure.”

Xu Lehui was held in his mother’s arms and was not afraid of her at all.

“It was Chen Xiaobao who tripped my mother. I just bumped into him. He was the one who grabbed my face first.”

Mrs. Chen was bumped into by a little brat, and she threatened him with her triangular eyes.

Old Lady Xu reached out and pulled her: “Who are you glaring at? Director He, you saw it too. You are still here, and she is glaring at my grandson.”

He Meifen separated them with a headache: “Tell me, why did you fight, Aunt Xu, I heard that you were the first to come and scold them, why?”

“Why did I come to her house to scold her? It’s because of her daughter Erya’s evil deeds. It’s ok to curse me to death, but she even pushed my granddaughter down the stairs yesterday. If the Zhou family hadn’t seen it, she would have been sent to the hospital.”

“My granddaughter died, and Director He kept coming to ask for an explanation. This is not too much, right?”

“Hey, this woman actually said that it wasn’t her daughter who did it. My granddaughter told me this herself when she woke up today. How could this be false?”

“Not only did Mrs. Chen deny it, she also pushed me first. I can tolerate that, so I just started fighting.”

He Meifen looked at Granny Chen and asked, “Is what Aunt Xu said true?”

How could Mrs. Chen admit it? “How is this possible? Director He, you can’t listen to her nonsense. Whatever her granddaughter says is true. Does she have any evidence?”

“What my granddaughter said is the evidence. How could my daughter lie?”

“Then I said that my Erya didn’t push me, and this is also evidence. Everyone knows what my Erya’s personality is like.

How could a girl who is afraid of even a small insect have the courage to push someone down the stairs? ”

“Mrs. Xu, if you keep talking nonsense, I’ll tear your mouth apart.”

“Come on, who’s afraid of who? Why are you afraid of insects? Why are you pretending?”

He Meifen heard them arguing again and quickly stood in the middle to separate them.

“Okay, both aunts, be quiet for a moment.”

Looking at Wang Xiaocao, he said, “Where’s your Erya? Ask her to come out for a moment. I want to ask a few questions.”

Wang Xiaocao went in and pulled the pale-faced Chen Meihong out, and felt her stiffness.

Because she was afraid, she used some strength and said, “Don’t be afraid, Erya. Tell the truth later. Mom and grandma are here.”

Chen Meihong took a few deep breaths and tried hard to suppress the panic in her heart. She must not admit that Xu Leshu’s fall down the stairs had nothing to do with her and she knew nothing.

Seeing someone come out, He Meifen asked her directly without any extra words.

“The Xu family said that you pushed the Xu girl down the stairs yesterday. What do you say?”

Chen Meihong’s face was filled with shock and disbelief. She looked at Old Lady Xu and said, “Grandma Xu, how could you say that to me? Xiaoshu and I are so close, how could I possibly push her away?”

“Did someone tell you that? How could I possibly do such a thing?”

Seeing the pitiful look on her face, Old Lady Xu interrupted her directly: “How is it impossible? My Xiaoshu said with her own mouth that you pushed her down. How could this be false?”

“Did Xiaoshu get knocked unconscious? How could she be talking nonsense? Yesterday, except for going out to buy groceries in the morning, I was at home the rest of the time. How could I have pushed her when I didn’t go out?”

“Grandma Xu, you need evidence to prove what you said. You said I pushed it without any evidence. You are slandering me.”

“Then what evidence do you have to prove that you were at home yesterday except for going out to buy groceries in the morning? Is there anyone who can testify for you?”

Hearing this voice, a trace of guilt flashed in Chen Meihong’s eyes, and she looked at Xu Leshu, whose head was still wrapped in gauze.

“Oh, Nannan, why are you here? Your head still hurts. Go back and lie down. There’s milk here.”

Xu Leshu looked at Chen Meihong who was avoiding her gaze, and chuckled as she took Old Lady Xu’s hand.

“It’s okay, grandma. Since they want evidence, I, as the client, have to confront her, lest they accuse me of talking nonsense.”

“You kid, what evidence do you need when my Erya is at home? We always eat the meals my Erya cooks when we go home at noon, and my mother-in-law is always at home.”

Xu Leshu met Wang Xiaocao’s eyes and said, “Auntie, can you confirm that Grandma Chen was at home yesterday? As far as I know, Grandma Chen usually stays at home except for eating and taking a nap.”

“The rest of the time they were downstairs chatting with other grandmas or going to Jinhu Park. Can you confirm that Grandma Chen and Chen Meihong were always at home?”

Wang Xiaocao was speechless after hearing her question. It was true that her mother-in-law just came back from outside yesterday when she got home from get off work.

Xu Leshu knew it was not the case just by looking at her expression, and then looked at Chen Meihong who seemed a little nervous.

“Tell me, didn’t you ask me to bring evidence? I do have it, but can you prove your innocence? Do you have evidence to prove that you have been at home the whole time?”

Chen Meihong opened her mouth but was speechless. She was a little nervous to begin with, and now when she heard that she actually had evidence, she became even more nervous.

She looked around at that time, and there was no one there. What evidence did she have? It must be a scam.

When Mrs. Chen saw her expression, she felt so disappointed in her that she got so flustered by such a casual question.
