To make up for the debt owed to Lin Qingping and Gu Juncheng

Yun Yan looked at his wife, somewhat speechless.

He doesn't have the face to call Director Liu.

After learning the situation, he felt even more ashamed and apologized to the principal first.

Yun Xiaoshan's mother pointed to him as someone who had come to the police station chief to get revenge for her. However, the man apologized as soon as he arrived, which angered her. She was about to speak when Yun Yan stopped her with a stern look.

She turned her face away in anger, but dared not say anything more. Yun Yan usually had a good temper, but if he got serious, she wouldn't dare to provoke him.

Yun Yan then inquired about the child's condition and learned that the child had been taken to the hospital. He then decided to go directly to the hospital to visit the child and apologize if the child's parents were there.

He repeatedly apologized for the trouble this incident had caused the police station, but did not mention wanting to see Director Liu.

As soon as he left the police station, Yun Yan prepared to go to the hospital.

Yun Xiaoshan's mother was shocked. "You actually went to the hospital to apologize to those country bumpkins?"

Yun Yan said with a serious expression, "You don't have to go, but Yun Xiaoshan, you're coming with me."

Yun Xiaoshan's mother was very protective of her child, hugging Yun Xiaoshan tightly and saying, "What does this have to do with Xiaoshan? Their child gave Xiaoshan random food, and I haven't even held them accountable yet!"

Yun Yan suppressed her anger, "So, just because your child gave your son some homemade candy at kindergarten, you're going to hold someone responsible?"

"What else?" Yun Xiaoshan's mother said proudly. "What did our Xiaoshan eat to grow up? All the snacks he ate were from overseas!"

Yun Yan still suppressed his anger, "How long have we been open to the outside world? You've only eaten some foreign food in the last two years, and you've already forgotten your ancestors?"

"Then why not eat the good food? Xiaoshan has already developed an appetite for good food. How can we let him go back to eating the same thing? What if he gets sick? If my son gets sick in the future, I will definitely hold this family responsible!" Yun Xiaoshan's mother said angrily.

"I think you should get your illness treated first!" Yun Yan said angrily.

"Yun Yan, what did you say?" Yun Xiaoshan stomped her foot angrily. "Anyway, I'm not going to apologize! Xiaoshan isn't going either! I've already done more than enough by not going to cause them any trouble!"

"Fine!" Yun Yan nodded angrily. "Yun Xiaoshan, you come here."

Yun Xiaoshan was held in his mother's arms, looking hesitant.

Yun Yan grabbed him and pulled him out.

Just then, there was a stall selling roasted sweet potatoes on the road. Yun Yan carried his son to the stall, bought a large one, and handed it to Yun Xiaoshan, saying, "Eat it now!"

Yun Xiaoshan's eyes lit up.

Every time he passed by the roadside, he thought the smell was wonderful, but his mother would never buy it for him. If he wanted to eat it, his mother would scold him, saying that it was something poor people ate.

Is there such a good thing happening today?

Liu Yan, Yun Xiaoshan's mother, was nearly driven mad upon seeing this. She screamed on the way, "Yun Yan! You've gone too far! How could you feed him something like this? Xiaoshan, don't eat it! This will make you sick!"

"Shut up!" Yun Yan frowned. "What's wrong with eating this? My Yun family, all three of us brothers grew up eating this! What illness did we get?"

After being scolded by Yun Yan, Liu Yan's voice became softer, "Xiao Shan... if you really want to eat this, we can buy it and cook it ourselves at home, making sure it's clean. Look at this, how can you eat it? It's so dirty! It's full of bacteria, all black, you'll really get sick if you eat it!"

"When we were kids, we just dug them up from the ground and ate them raw. What's wrong with eating them? Eat them! I'll take responsibility if anything goes wrong!" Yun Yan was also furious.

The old man selling roasted sweet potatoes got even angrier. "My sweet potatoes are washed clean before roasting. So many people buy them every day, and I've never heard of anyone getting sick from them. It's not fair of you to say that."

"It'll be too late if you get sick from eating it! I'm telling you this upfront..."

While Liu Yan was still arguing with the old man selling sweet potatoes, Yun Yan had already left with his son.

Just then, the bus arrived, and Yun Yan led her son onto the bus.

Yun Xiaoshan has already started secretly eating roasted sweet potatoes. They are so delicious and fragrant. He is even thinking: Can I take advantage of my dad and mom arguing today to eat all the things I couldn't eat before?

This thought came on so strongly that it overshadowed the fact that Li Zhiyuan's head had been broken by his mother.

It wasn't until he arrived at the hospital and finished his sweet potato that he finally remembered about Li Zhiyuan's head, and he cowered again.

Lin Qingping has already arrived at the hospital.

The principal called the school from the police station, and the school eventually got her to answer the phone while she was in class. She learned that Zhiyuan had been hit on the head, and she immediately went to the hospital. As for who the other person was and how the fight started, that was left for later.

A head injury is no small matter! She definitely needs to see the child first!

Zhiyuan's head was cut by the chair. Fortunately, the wound was small and not deep, and only stitches were needed. However, he needed a tetanus shot, and the skin test had already been done. They were waiting for the results.

It was at this moment that Yun Yan brought Yun Xiaoshan directly to the emergency room.

The childcare worker and homeroom teacher, Ms. Ai, were both present. Lin Qingping now knew the general cause and effect. Yun Yan's arrival made everyone watch the father and son.

Even though Yun Yan had seen a lot, he still felt quite uncomfortable under such gazes.

"Hello, teachers." He greeted the teachers first, then looked at Lin Qingping and Zhiyuan, smiling at Zhiyuan first, "Excuse me, are you Li Zhiyuan?"

Zhiyuan, with a bandage wrapped around his head, nodded.

Yun Yan smiled humbly at Lin Qingping and said, "Hello, I am Yun Xiaoshan's father. May I ask if you are the parent of Li Zhiyuan?"

"Yes." Lin Qingping already had a preconceived notion about Yun Xiaoshan's mother, so her attitude towards Yun Yan was not good; in fact, it could be said that she was quite indifferent.

She didn't think she was wrong. Her son's head was broken, so why should she be polite to people?

"I'm sorry, I brought Yun Xiaoshan here to apologize." Yun Yan carried fruit and milk powder and put them aside. "What happened today was our fault. We will pay for all the medical expenses and subsequent nutritional expenses incurred by Li Zhiyuan. As Yun Xiaoshan's parent, I also apologize to Li Zhiyuan. Please feel free to make any requests you may have."

Lin Qingping sneered, "Who's short of money? No need!"

Upon hearing this, Yun Yan immediately said, "That's not what I meant, I really didn't mean that, Li Zhiyuan's mother, you misunderstood. I came here today specifically to apologize. As for the expenses, they are necessary, it's what we should pay. I know that when a child is injured, what parent wouldn't feel pain? That's why I came here, to see what I can do for the child and try my best to make amends."

“No need, I’m serious,” Lin Qingping said. “You probably know the whole story. My family is just an ordinary family. We’re not on the same path as families like yours, and there’s no need for us to have any contact in the future. So, I think the best way to handle this is to not see each other, not have any contact, and keep our distance to avoid similar incidents from happening again. After all, we don’t know whose child will get a hole in their head next time.”

Upon hearing this, Yun Yan was immediately embarrassed.

The other party is clearly keeping you at arm's length, but you still need to express your sincerity.

He smiled and said, "Alright, Li Zhiyuan is injured and needs to rest, so I won't bother him any longer. Xiaoshan, you should apologize to your classmate properly."

Yun Xiaoshan looked at Li Zhiyuan, his face flushed red, unable to utter a single word.

"Say something!" Yun Yan nudged his son.

Yun Xiaoshan pouted, looking like she was about to cry, and then stammered, "Li Zhiyuan, can I promise you three more things?"

Upon hearing this, Yun Yan exclaimed: "What kind of apology is this?"

Zhiyuan looked at Yun Xiaoshan, then at Lin Qingping.

Lin Qingping remained silent with a sullen face.

Zhiyuan then said, "You should go back first."

Upon hearing this, Yun Xiaoshan was on the verge of tears again. "How about thirty pieces? Thirty pieces!"

Zhiyuan was speechless. "Alright, alright, you can go back now!"

Yun Xiaoshan wiped away his tears and nodded. "Alright, you've agreed! You can't go back on your word! You said it yourself, a real man keeps his word!"

The adults were all stunned, and the two children had actually agreed.

Yun Yan was completely bewildered as he left the emergency room with Yun Xiaoshan, and asked his son, "What about the three or thirty items you mentioned?"

Yun Xiaoshan didn't dare tell his father about it, and stammered, "It's...it's between me and Li Zhiyuan, don't interfere!"

"Alright!" Yun Yan felt that his son had been controlled by Liu Yan so much that he was like a soft lump, and it was rare for him to have his own opinions, so he stopped asking questions.

What boy doesn't have a few secrets with his friends? As long as they're not bad things, it's fine.

At the hospital, Lin Qingping also felt that there was something wrong with the two children.

"What's going on? Do you and Yun Xiaoshan usually play together?" Lin Qingping genuinely didn't want Zhiyuan to associate with a child like that, not because Yun Xiaoshan was bad, but because his mother was too difficult to deal with!

Zhiyuan thought for a moment and said softly, "Can I handle my own affairs with Yun Xiaoshan?"

After saying that, as if afraid of angering Lin Qingping, he quickly added, "Mom, I know you're worried about me, and I know you were anxious about my injury, but Yun Xiaoshan and I are a different matter."

What else could Lin Qingping say?

"I know, I don't care! But you have to protect yourself! Don't feed him again." Lin Qingping ran a restaurant in her previous life, and this kind of thing was a nightmare for her. When the restaurant was small, there were people who would try to scam her by claiming that they got sick from the food she served. There were also people who would bring cockroaches and throw them into the dishes, then say that her food was unclean. She didn't know how many of these things she had encountered, and she had no way to express her suffering. Later, when the restaurant expanded, food safety was always a problem she focused on.

She knew that some parents were very meticulous in raising their children, using special water, pollution-free green food, animal cream, and so on, wishing they could raise their children in a sterile environment. However, she never expected that such people would emerge in this era.

Zhiyuan nodded obediently, "I understand."

Lin Qingping glanced at the fruit and milk powder that Yun Xiaoshan's father had brought and asked, "Huh? Why didn't you take those things?"

She picked it up and found a stack of money inside.
