Chapter 402

The two-month holiday went by quickly. Before the start of school, the four little coal balls were sent back by An ZhiAng.

PingAn rushed in first thing and dove into the room with Little Sixth.

ZhiXia was talking to the triplets when PingAn and Little Sixth ran out, leaving with just one sentence before they left, "Mom, Little Sixth and I are going out to play, don't call us for dinner."

It was common for PingAn to go out and play with Little Sixth, and they often ate at Pei Yong's place, so ZhiXia was used to it.

However, seeing how quickly they ran off today, she felt a little puzzled, as if wolves were chasing them.

When it was time for dinner, Pei Yong came over looking for them, "ZhiXia, PingAn hasn't gone back for dinner, is he at your place?"

"He came at noon and took Little Sixth away with him. I thought they were playing at your place," ZhiXia came out, puzzled, "They just got back, where did these two rascals run off to?"

"They're old enough not to get lost. They probably got caught up playing and forgot to come back. I'll go look for them," Pei Yong said before leaving.

Soon after, ZhiXia received a phone call. It was Pei JianGuo's angry voice, "Auntie, are you still keeping an eye on your son? He took PingAn and beat up Chunhua and now they're at the police station!"

"Did you call the police to catch them?" ZhiXia asked. "I just got the call too. I have to rush to the hospital to see Chunhua. I haven't dared to tell my dad yet. PingAn and Chen You are both at the police station. Someone has to go pick them up."

Pei JianGuo had no idea why these two kids suddenly went crazy and showed up at his house to beat someone up. He himself still didn't understand what was going on.

"I see. I'll go to the police station now. If it's the children's fault, I will definitely give you an explanation," ZhiXia said.

After hanging up the phone, ZhiXia fell into thought.

It was definitely not for no reason that the two children suddenly beat someone up, especially PingAn.

It had not been just one or two days since Pei JianGuo married Liu Chunhua. PingAn usually did not interfere with their affairs. Although the boy did not say it out loud, he was quite arrogant in his heart. Pei JianGuo did not want him, so he simply did not want to recognize this father. Therefore, Liu Chunhua must have done something to anger PingAn for him to want to teach her a lesson.

ZhiXia hurriedly went to the yard to get her bicycle and rushed to the police station.

Liu Jun came out from inside, "Just in time, I was about to go to your house to notify you. Why is no one answering your phone?"

"There was no one at home then, and we didn't hear the phone ring. Is it about Chen You and PingAn? Where are the kids? What exactly happened?" ZhiXia asked anxiously.

The triplets had just returned and went to find their little friends too. She had just returned home after going out when she received Pei JianGuo's call. Liu Jun had probably called earlier.

"They're all inside. We asked them why they beat her up too. PingAn said the one who was beaten was his stepmother who wanted to drive him out of his grandfather's house, so he wanted to teach her a lesson..." Liu Jun said, "The two children deny laying a hand on Liu Chunhua, but Liu Chunhua does have an injury on her forehead. She identified that the two children pushed her down and she hit the corner of a table when falling down and got hurt. It looks quite serious with blood flowing out."

Liu Jun suggested it would be best for them to settle this privately. Moreover, their relationship was clear. The matter should be easy to resolve, not to mention that PingAn was still Pei JianGuo's son. The police had defined this incident as a family dispute.

ZhiXia thanked Liu Jun and went inside to get the two kids out.

PingAn and Little Sixth were sitting there with their heads lowered, looking as if they realized they had caused trouble.

"Let's go, back home first," ZhiXia said.

The two little guys followed her dejectedly. Little Sixth stubbornly said, "We really didn't push her. We just went to talk reason with her, but she lost her balance herself and hit the corner of the table. We didn't even touch her." PingAn hurriedly nodded in agreement, "What Little Sixth said is true. Auntie, if you want to blame someone then blame me. Beat me up if you want, this is all my fault. Little Sixth was only there to help me. Don't blame him."

"We both got into trouble together. And you calling me uncle, how could I let you take all the blame yourself," Little Sixth stepped forward boldly, "Mom, if you want to blame someone then blame me. You also know PingAn doesn't have the guts for this. It was me who told him to go with me to talk reason with his vicious stepmother. Otherwise he usually doesn't even go to his dad's place."

The two children tried to take responsibility for themselves.

After they left the police station, ZhiXia asked them, "You two tell me the truth. No lying. Did she really fall by herself or did you push her? Also, what reason could you two little kids have had to talk to her? Aren't adult issues for adults to resolve?"

Moreover, vicious stepmother - where did they even hear this term? She could only get to the bottom of this first before settling accounts with these two kids.

"She really fell by herself. We were in the living room at that time. The most we said was that she was too vicious. Then her body shook and she fell on the corner of the table. She started crying out loud too. Later a neighbor came after hearing the ruckus and called the police," Little Sixth said clearly while PingAn nodded vigorously beside him.

"Auntie, you don't know how vicious this woman is. Don't be fooled by her pitiful looks and silence whenever she meets someone. But behind the scenes she got my mom to take me away," PingAn said with a look of being on the verge of tears, "I barely managed to persuade grandpa not to send me to my mom. I wanted to stay with grandpa but that wicked woman conspired with my mom, wanting me to leave. I heard it clearly, around the corner of my house. They were discussing it there and I just happened to be leaning over the wall!"

"No matter what, you two shouldn't have gone to confront her yourselves. Didn't I teach you to look for adults whenever there's an issue? Have you forgotten?" ZhiXia didn't dare to agree with what they were saying. Their courage was a bit too big.

Little Sixth and PingAn lowered their heads.

They felt they were not little kids anymore and were capable of resolving this matter themselves. But they didn't expect things to turn out this way either.

Now probably the whole world knew they were bad kids, the kind that broke into homes and beat people up. But heaven knows, they really didn't push her. That wicked woman fell herself.

After confirming with them again that they did not push the woman, ZhiXia sent them back home before rushing to the hospital herself.

She saw Pei JianGuo coming out of the hospital room. She asked him, "Is it serious?"

"She hit the corner of the table directly with her forehead. Got several stitches. They're keeping her to observe for two days," Pei JianGuo said. "Did you get the kids out? What's going on with them?"

"Got them out. What did Liu Chunhua say? That the two kids assaulted her?" ZhiXia asked.
