He Jiefang had to gently soothe the person in his arms, and perhaps because they were tired from crying, they soon fell asleep in his embrace.
Once he settled them down, he went outside and saw He Jian Country standing there with his head down. He immediately grabbed him and started walking away.
Mr. He and He Yuejin, worried something might happen, quickly followed them out.
Once outside the hospital door, He Jiefang punched He Jian Country straight in the face. "Canât you all just behave for once? Youâre not satisfied until youâve harmed every single brother, are you? Hurting Third wasnât enough, now youâre causing trouble for me too."
He landed another punch: "Canât you act like a human being for once?"
Mr. He hurriedly intervened, "Oldest, stop it now."
It wasnât that he was feeling sorry for Second but worried that if Big Brother hit him, theyâd go from having the advantage to losing it completely.
He Yuejin quickly rushed over, "Big Brother, hitting him now wonât solve anything. Go back up and look after our sister-in-law. Whatever needs to be said, letâs discuss it at home. We donât want to make a spectacle for others."
He Jiefang let go and squatted on the ground.
Mr. He looked at his son squatting on the ground, then at his second son with a bruised corner of his mouth, and suddenly felt a splitting headache.
He Yuejin also frowned tightly. He was due to get married in a few days, and now this had happened, making him feel distressed.
Gao Yumei, who caused the trouble, once she realized the situation, instead of comforting her children, hurriedly packed a few clothes and ran back to her parentsâ house in a panic.
Mrs. Gao saw her daughter come back in such a state, "Yumei, did Jian Country hit you?"
Gao Yumei was so frightened she couldnât even answer her motherâs question and hid directly in the room.
Mrs. Gao took in the situation for a year, "Yumei, whatâs happened to you?"
Gao Yumei answered anxiously, "Mom, I caused trouble, my sister-in-law had a miscarriage."
Mrs. Gao grabbed her daughter, "What did you just say?"
Holding a small bundle in her arms, Gao Yumei clung to her motherâs sleeve, "Mom, my sister-in-law miscarried. I didnât mean to."
Mrs. Gao saw her daughter stop midway through explaining, "Spit it out. What exactly happened?"
Gao Yumei dared not hide anything and narrated the whole incident in detail.
After listening, Mrs. Gao hit her daughterâs arm, "How are you so unlucky? How could you find yourself in this mess? Are you sure itâs a miscarriage?"
Gao Yumei shook her head furiously, "I donât know, I donât know, I just saw a lot of blood under my sister-in-law. Mom, what should I do?"
Mrs. Gao was also in a dilemma, but she remained somewhat calm and shouted outside, "Old Six."
Soon, a young lady came over from the room next door, "Mom, you called me?"
Mrs. Gao looked at her youngest daughter, "Quick, go to the hospital and find out how Jiamingâs aunt is doing right now."
Gao Familyâs Old Six was somewhat reluctant, but she knew better than to resist. She gave her third sister a grumpy look, "I understand."

He Jinxuan and Xinyan came out of the state-run restaurant, and He Jinxuan said, "Letâs go."
Xinyan was curious, "Jinxuan, where are we going?"
He Jinxuan gave Xinyan a gentle smile, "Youâll know when we get there."
They kept walking forward until they saw a man waving at them up ahead. They heard him say, "Jinxuan, over here."
Xinyan couldnât help but ask, "Does he know you?"
He Jinxuan held her hand tightly, "Heâs my comrade, Qin Peiyi."
Xinyan saw that this person seemed a bit mysterious, "How did he know we were here?"
He Jinxuan laughed and explained, "I arranged it with him in advance."
Xinyan still couldnât guess what He Jinxuan was planning, but now that they were in front of Qin Peiyi, it wasnât appropriate to ask further questions.
He Jinxuan introduced them, and Xinyan learned that this comrade of He Jinxuan had also retired and was now assigned to the district police department.
Xinyan smiled at Qin Peiyi, "Hello."
Qin Peiyi smiled back at Xinyan, "Hello."
Then he landed a punch on He Jinxuanâs shoulder, "Youâre one lucky guy, finding such a pretty partner."
He Jinxuan smiled without replying, but his expression said, "Youâre right."
Seeing He Jinxuanâs smug smile, Qin Peiyi hugged him and whispered in his ear, "Youâre quite the old bull munching on fresh grass, arenât you?"
