At this, Yi Zhonghai sternly replied, "I was right to break his legs!"
"Otherwise, this brat would go out and harm people again!"
"Old Madam Long lost her life, and it's only fitting that Bang Geng breaks two legs as atonement for Old Madam Long!"
Yi Zhonghai, that stubborn old mule, was indeed a master of moral blackmail.
He played this game of moral blackmail with masterful skill.
Wang Jun had originally intended to reprimand Yi Zhonghai a few times, but after Yi Zhonghai's words, Wang Jun found it difficult to say anything further.
Meanwhile, Qin Huairu was in a state of silent suffering, unable to voice her grievances.
During the trial, Bang Geng had drugged and poisoned Old Madam Long. Qin Huairu had repeatedly emphasized that Bang Geng was just a child and didn't understand anything.
Now, if Bang Geng wasn't a child who understood things, then she would educate him to understand.
Technically, Bang Geng was still Yi Zhonghai's son.
"Alright, alright, let this matter end here. No one is allowed to cause trouble anymore!"
Wang Jun said solemnly, "Now, let's hurry and get Bang Geng to the hospital!"
"Hmph!" Yi Zhonghai snorted and left without looking back.
At this point, Wang Jun still hoped Yi Zhonghai would send Bang Geng to the hospital? That was a pipe dream.
The core reason Yi Zhonghai, having just been released from prison, impatiently broke Bang Geng's legs was one and only one!
It was to prevent Bang Geng from continuing to "commit evil deeds"!
If Bang Geng wasn't completely crippled, Yi Zhonghai feared that Bang Geng might attempt to kill him again at any moment.
The conflict between them had reached a point of irreconcilable animosity.
It was either you die or I die, there was absolutely no third option.
Yi Zhonghai's plan was to first break Bang Geng's legs, which would at least keep Bang Geng bedridden for three to four months, preventing him from acting maliciously.
Then, he would devise a plan to find an opportunity to eliminate this menace completely.
...
Hospital room.
Bang Geng woke up from his unconscious state late at night.
As soon as he opened his eyes and saw Qin Huairu, Bang Geng burst into tears.
"Don't cry, child, it's all over now!"
Qin Huairu's nose also stung as she hugged Bang Geng: "With Mom here, no one will hurt you again!"
Bang Geng cried, "Mom, you must protect me, Yi Zhonghai wants to kill me!"
"He wants to kill everyone in our Jia family!"
Qin Huairu said with certainty, "Don't worry, child, Mom will definitely protect you!"
"As long as I'm here, no one will ever harm you again!"
Bang Geng said with a pained expression, "You can't protect me at all!"
"I..."
Bang Geng's rhetorical questioning left Qin Huairu speechless.
Wasn't that the reality? Yi Zhonghai had crippled Bang Geng right in front of Qin Huairu.
Qin Huairu could neither defeat Yi Zhonghai nor stop him from committing violence.
"Child, don't worry, Mom will definitely help you get revenge for this deep hatred!"
Yi Zhonghai dared to cripple Bang Geng in public precisely because he knew Qin Huairu was a widow with no one to support her.
When Sha Zhu was still around, he had backed up the widowed Qin.
Even Yi Zhonghai wouldn't have dared to lay a finger on the widowed Qin.
But Sha Zhu was still in prison, not yet released.
Qin Huairu pondered for a moment and decided to find a godfather for Bang Geng.
Although Qin Huairu was a widow, it was important to remember what kind of business she was in before marrying Yi Zhonghai.
When she used to sell meat outside, she had met a large number of men.
Now that the widowed Qin was being bullied, all she had to do was "raise her arms and call out" and it would be easy to find a few men to help her.
...
The next morning, Qin Huairu went to find her old acquaintance, Wang Datou.
Qin Huairu agreed to accompany Wang Datou for a meal, and Wang Datou happily agreed to become Bang Geng's godfather.
After they reached an agreement, Wang Datou called several of his unsavory friends and they came to the courtyard.
Without any further ado, they rushed into Yi Zhonghai's house, dragged Yi Zhonghai into the courtyard, and beat him severely.
Wang Datou and his companions were even more ruthless. Not only did they break Yi Zhonghai's legs,
they also broke several of Yi Zhonghai's ribs, leaving him like a wrapped rice dumpling, sprawled on the ground and unable to move.
When the neighborhood committee came to mediate the dispute, Wang Datou claimed to be Bang Geng's godfather.
Yi Zhonghai beat my godson, so I'm taking revenge for my son.
Well, this tactic was almost identical to the one Yi Zhonghai had used when beating Bang Geng.
Wang Jun's approach was also the same old routine.
If Yi Zhonghai felt wronged, he could sue Qin Huairu himself; in any case, he could no longer manage this matter.
Unfortunately, Liu Kai Xuan had already left for work when Yi Zhonghai was beaten and did not witness this magnificent scene.
However, the subsequent crippling of both Bang Geng and Yi Zhonghai had truly ignited the public opinion within the courtyard.
That afternoon, after Liu Kai Xuan finished work, Zhao Feiyan also dragged him along to join the spectacle.
"Don't say anything, but our First Elder's superb skill of feigning death is truly not just for show!"
"Being beaten by several big men, he directly covered his head with his hands and lay on the ground, pretending to be dead!"
"Wang Jun didn't come to break up the fight, so he just lay on the ground and didn't move!"
"As soon as he heard Wang Jun's voice, he immediately opened his eyes and became as lively as ever!"
"Hahaha..."
"Alas, who would have thought that the former First Elder would fall to such a state? Truly, the world is changing for the worse!"
"Now it's good, both Yi Zhonghai and Bang Geng are crippled!"
"In the future, the atmosphere in our courtyard will once again become stagnant!"
"Enough, are you guys enjoying the show like this?"
"Isn't the First Elder not dead yet?"
"And that little beast Bang Geng, he only broke a few legs!"
"After this farce, the animosity between Yi Zhonghai and Bang Geng has deepened even further!"
"I guess the next time they clash, someone will die!"
"I say, you fellow, you really are eager for chaos to erupt. Isn't it better for the First Elder to live and slowly create fun for everyone?"
"Why are you so anxious for him to die? If he dies, our courtyard will have no clowns to entertain us!"
...
In the hospital room, Xu Da Mao came to visit Yi Zhonghai with a gift box.
Yi Zhonghai sat slumped on the bed alone, like a dead dog, his face filled with despair.
Seeing Xu Da Mao carrying a gift box, Yi Zhonghai quickly called out, "Da Mao, why are you here!"
Xu Da Mao replied with a smile, "First Elder, you're so badly injured, I came to see you!"
"Da Mao, you're truly thoughtful..."
"Da Mao, I'm so thirsty right now, could you pour me a glass of water?"
