An Ning and Zhao Xuemei put down the fish and headed to the hospital.

The messenger only told them that Xu Pengfei had smashed someone's head, without giving any reason. Zhao Xuemei had no choice but to bring out all the cash in the house, and An Ning also brought some money.

In this day and age, hitting your head is a big deal, just like when Xiao Ni hit her head, otherwise it wouldn't have been so easy for her to leave that awful place.

As for where her daughter is now, An Ning doesn't need to ask; she's definitely with Xu Pengfei.

When they arrived at the military hospital, a large crowd had gathered, including adults and children. Among them were several people that Anning had invited to her home before.

When they saw Anning Zhao Xuemei, they automatically made way for her.

"You've finally arrived! We sent someone to look for you, but they said you were out."

Zhao Xuemei glanced around but didn't see her son, Anning's daughter, or the injured child. She asked, "What happened? Where's Pengfei? Where's Changle?"

"They're getting their wounds treated at the hospital! There are too many of us, the hospital won't let us in."

"Shen Changle is also injured?" An Ning asked hurriedly.

"No, your kids are so well-behaved. They don't get involved at all when they fight; they even try to break it up from the sidelines."

Anning breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that her daughter was alright.

She said that she always emphasizes safety issues to her children at home, and they are very obedient in this regard.

But Zhao Xuemei grasped the key phrase: "Them? It wasn't just the injured one and my son who were fighting?"

The parent who spoke sighed and explained what he knew: "That child and his friends wanted to rent your Changle airplane to play with. They probably weren't very polite, and an argument ensued. The older kids couldn't beat Xu Pengfei, so he threw stones at them. After being injured, the other kid got angry and smashed your Changle airplane. That's when things got really bad. Everyone saw the airplane was smashed and swarmed around beating him up. Some threw stones, some bit him; he looks pretty badly injured, and we don't know his condition now."

After the parent finished speaking, someone next to them whispered, "I heard that the child's grandfather is..."

She pointed upwards as she spoke.

After listening to their explanation, An Ning and Zhao Xuemei finally understood why there were so many people here.

It turns out that Xu Pengfei wasn't the only one who took action; he was the leader, so he was singled out.

But because the child's grandfather seemed to have an unusual status, all the parents of the children involved came here.

After asking about the child's location, Zhao Xuemei and An Ning headed towards the hospital.

As Zhao Xuemei walked, she grumbled, "I've cursed that brat countless times. Every time I tell him that when you encounter a problem, the first thing to do is think, not fight, and he just nods and brushes me off. Now look what happened! He smashed someone's head! It's even worse than when he hit Sun Weiguo last time. I wonder how much he'll have to pay in compensation!"

Anning comforted her, "It's okay. Although Pengfei was the first to make a move, we don't know who caused the most serious injury! So many children were involved, so even if there is to be compensation, everyone should share it."

"If it were just about losing money, that would be one thing, but the other party... might even affect my husband! He has such a big head, why can't he use it?"

"You're the parents of those two children, right? Go in this way, it's the last room." The nurse gave them directions.

Since all the injuries were external, they were treated in the wound cleaning room on the first floor first. After the external injuries were treated, other examinations were conducted.

"Hello, you are the parents of Xu Pengfei and Shen Changle, right? I am Cao Huiyun, Wu Jianhua's mother, and I work in the county government's publicity department."

Cao Huiyun had a neat short haircut, wore a plaid coat over a white shirt and suit pants, and extended her hand to An Ning and Zhao Xuemei with a graceful demeanor. She was clearly the kind of person who was decisive and efficient.

"Shen Anning, Shen Changle's parent."

An Ning extended her hand, her momentum not much less than her opponent's, and they parted after a brief touch.

On the contrary, Zhao Xuemei was a little embarrassed. She came from a rural area and had not received much education. After joining the army, many of the other military wives were in similar situations to her, and she really had no experience in dealing with leaders of government departments.

This made her reach out seem somewhat hesitant, and her imposing manner was immediately overwhelmed by the other party.

"No... I'm so sorry, my son is too naughty, we don't really have a good grasp on him, and now your son is injured. We'll cover all the medical expenses."

"Actually, my son Jianhua was also at fault in this matter; the way he handled things was problematic. I just asked the doctor, and his injuries aren't actually that serious. So, I'm thinking that both sets of parents should reach a consensus that the children should learn from this lesson to prevent them from making serious mistakes in the future. What do you think?"

"This...this is definitely the best way to handle it, but...but the medical expenses...still...still need to be paid..."

This was the first time Zhao Xuemei had met such a sensible family. Although she believed that her son would not hit someone for no reason, since the other party was already injured, she couldn't keep harping on the matter, could she?

She was prepared to pay compensation, but the other party unexpectedly told her directly that she didn't need to pay. For a moment, she didn't know how to respond.

However, after saying this, Cao Huiyun turned to talk to An Ning without replying to her at all.

"Comrade Anning, I must apologize to you for my son breaking your daughter's toy airplane. Although the incident was caused by your daughter's toy airplane, it was my son's fault for breaking it. It's all my son's fault. How much is this airplane? I'll compensate you at the original price, is that alright?"

When Anning heard the other party say that the incident was caused by Xiao Ni'er's toy airplane, she couldn't help but frown. From any perspective, this matter had nothing to do with Xiao Ni'er, and she was even trying to break up the fight between the children.

The way the other person said it made it sound like her daughter was in the wrong.

But her attitude was very sincere, and she even offered to compensate for the cost of the toy airplane, leaving Anning unsure whether she had spoken too quickly and misspoke, or if she really meant it.

An Ning's smile faded slightly as she said, "No need. We can just have Wu Jianhua apologize to my daughter later."

"Yes, I saw the plane. The propeller on the nose is damaged, so it's probably unusable. After all, it was his mistake, and we parents have to be brave enough to take responsibility, don't you think?"

It's no wonder An Ning is overthinking things; Cao Huiyun's words sound like she's talking about airplanes, and it seems she's also referring to Zhao Xuemei who's standing next to her.

But Zhao Xuemei, who was standing next to her, probably didn't notice the problem at all because of her preconceived notions, and the happy smile on her face hadn't faded yet.

Since Cao Huiyun insisted, An Ning said, "Currently, there aren't any remote-controlled helicopters among toys in China. But there are slightly better remote-controlled cars made of similar materials to my little girl's helicopter, which cost 500 yuan each on the market, and the workmanship isn't as refined. Ours is purely handmade. If you insist on compensation, Comrade Huiyun, then we'll give you 200 yuan!"

"two hundred?"

Cao Huiyun's eyes widened, and An Ning seemed to hear what she hadn't finished saying: Why don't you just rob it?
