Back to 1993: The family splits up at the start, and the ingrates regret it so much they cry.

Wang family.

Du Lei rushed in, "Brother Peng, you'd better go out and hide. Wang Cheng is coming to find you with your parents."

He was in such a hurry that he didn't even have time to get off the bus.

Wang Peng frowned and gave a wry smile.

The fact that he bought a house couldn't be kept secret.

As long as his household registration is moved out of Wangcun, the village committee will take back his homestead and will definitely notify Wang Song.

The demolition couldn't be kept secret either.

The news has already caused quite a stir in Xiaowangzhuang; you can easily find out the details by asking around.

But where can he hide?

You can hide from the first day of junior high school, but you can't hide from the fifteenth day.

"Brother Lei, thank you. You can go back to class now, I'll handle it myself."

"Uncle Li, let's talk about the video arcade another day. I have some family matters to take care of."

Not wanting to air his dirty laundry in public, he told Du Lei and Li Longfei to leave.

Li Longfei, a seasoned veteran, asked, "Xiao Peng, is it your family coming to see you?"

Wang Peng was about to explain when he turned around and saw that all his awful relatives had arrived—two old and three young.

The two men stared at each other across the fence, like roosters ready for battle.

"You unfilial son!" Wang Song stormed into the fenced yard. "Did you buy this yard? Why didn't you tell the family?"

"Big brother," Wang Zhen, the fourth sister, called out weakly, quietly keeping her distance from her parents, brothers, and sisters.

Wang Peng stared at Wang Song. "I've already left with nothing. You've cut ties with me. I bought my own house. Why should I report to you?"

"You bastard!" Wang Song snapped, "Because you changed your household registration and bought a house, my homestead was taken away by the brigade. You dare to say it has nothing to do with me?"

“You moved your household registration away without saying a word, and the village just took away my homestead, which is your brother’s property.”

"How can you build a house without a plot of land? How can your brother get married without a house? Do you want to ruin his life?"

At this point, Wang Song almost roared.

Wang Peng sneered and pointed at Wang Cheng.

"Get this straight, we have no relation whatsoever. He's not my brother, and you're not my father."

“That homestead was applied for in my name, it belongs to me, and my name is also on the household registration in Wang Village.”

"I moved my household registration, so of course Wang Village wants to reclaim my homestead. What does that have to do with you?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Song was so offended that he lost his composure and slapped Wang Peng across the face.

Wang Peng took a half step back, grabbed his wrist, and forcefully threw him away.

"Dad!" Wang Cheng hurriedly helped his swaying father up.

“Brother! Big brother! This is your own father who gave you life and raised you. Without him, you wouldn’t exist. How could you hit him?” Wang Cheng burst into tears.

"Who's your older brother?" Wang Peng glared at Wang Cheng and pointed angrily at Wang Song. "He hit me first. I have nothing to do with you anymore."

"You damned bastard!" Li Guifen pointed at Wang Peng and cursed him, using extremely offensive language.

Why didn't you tell your family before you transferred your household registration?

"You should first have your father transfer the homestead to your younger brother, and then move your household registration."

“A few days ago, someone offered 40,000 yuan to buy that plot of land. Now the land is gone, you have to compensate for that loss!”

Upon hearing this, Li Longfei understood.

This family is here to ask for money. They're asking for 40,000 yuan right off the bat. Aren't they afraid of biting their tongue?

Wang Peng sneered, "I'll say it again, the homestead in Wang Village is mine, why should it be transferred to Wang Cheng?"

He would rather the village committee take back the base than leave it to Wang Cheng.

Wang Song was furious. "Give me 40,000 yuan as compensation, and this matter will be over. Otherwise, I'm not finished with you!"

Du Lei couldn't stand it any longer and stepped in front of Wang Peng.

"What idiot would spend 40,000 yuan to buy a plot of land in a remote, impoverished area? I wouldn't even take it for 400!"

"What? Did you plant a golden phoenix tree on that plot of land? Is it going to attract a golden phoenix?"

"I think you guys are just desperate for money! Brother Peng works himself to the bone to earn money, why should he give it to you?"

Li Guifen reached out and grabbed Du Lei's face. "Who are you, some brat who jumped out of that slut's hole? How dare you meddle in my family's business?"

These words were so harsh that Du Lei lost his temper and started arguing with Li Guifen.

Wang Xia, the third sister, ran over and hit Du Lei. Wang Peng slapped her across the face and threw her to the ground.

"Wah!" Wang Xia cried out at the top of her lungs.

Wang Peng stared at Wang Song and Wang Cheng, ready to fight them if they dared to make a move.

Wang Cheng held onto his father tightly; he didn't want a fight to break out. His goal this time was to get money, not to fight.

Fourth Sister Wang Zhen hid under the old locust tree, as if this farce had nothing to do with her.

Li Longfei whispered in Wang Peng's ear, "Hold on a little longer, I'll go home and call the police station."

……

Ping'an County No.1 Middle School.

The second period ended in the afternoon.

Wang Peng and Du Lei still haven't returned.

Li Mengjiao was a little worried, so she immediately went to the office to find the homeroom teacher, Chen Qingshu.

"I'll go to his house and take a look." Chen Qingshu got up and went out.

He had already learned about Wang Peng's plight from Wang Peng's cousin and felt both sympathy and pity for him.

Furthermore, helping students solve their life problems is also part of the homeroom teacher's job.

He rode his bicycle away from the school and saw Li Fang making fried rice at the school gate.

"Forget it, this is such a mess, let's not bother her."

He hurried to Xiaowangzhuang and saw several sidecar motorcycles parked on the road; they were all police vehicles.

Further on, I heard arguing again, with a shrill soprano voice and a male voice that was neither male nor female.

Turning my head, I saw that the courtyard was full of people.

Seven or eight police officers were pulling at a woman, trying to drag her outside the yard.

Du Lei's face was scratched by fingernails; in his youthful arrogance, he had lost his temper.

“When Brother Peng was struggling to survive, you added fuel to the fire. Now that he's had just had two good days, you come and ruin them.”

"You shrew, you don't deserve to be a mother, let alone a human being."

"Officers, please arrest her and lock her up for a few days to teach her a lesson."

Li Guifen, who was already in a frenzy, was pushed to her breaking point by Du Lei's provocation. She suddenly struggled with all her might and charged at Du Lei again.

The police quickly intervened, but she actually attacked the officers.

A scream was heard as a young policeman's face was scratched and blood flowed out.

"Arrest her, detain her!" Lin Dong, the deputy director in charge, was furious.

After receiving a report from the public and understanding what had happened, they immediately came over to persuade the Wang family to leave.

Little did they know that Li Guifang was a complete shrew who had no respect for the police whatsoever.

Upon hearing about the detention, Li Guifen went completely mad, reaching out to tear at her own clothes, her screams deafening.

She was a woman, and all the police officers who came were male, so they couldn't easily stop her.

"Killing!"

"rape!"

"Rape!"

She sat on the ground, wailing and crying, as she took off her clothes.

Wang Peng closed his eyes, felt a sharp pain in his chest, and gasped for breath with his mouth open.

Li Guifen wasn't ashamed, but he was.

It felt as if a huge boulder was pressing on his chest, making it hard for him to breathe.

"Contact the policewoman immediately! This shrew must be detained today!" Lin Dong was furious, his face red and his neck bulging.

A young police officer immediately pulled out his walkie-talkie and called for backup.

"Big brother!" Wang Cheng knelt at Wang Peng's feet, grabbing Wang Peng's thighs with both hands. "Big brother, please beg for mercy. We can't let them take Mom away."

Wang Peng opened his mouth, wanting to say, "I don't have such a shameless mother."

The words were on the tip of her tongue, but she couldn't say them. She opened her eyes and looked at Deputy Director Lin Dong.

Lin Dong simply waved his hand.

"No amount of pleading will work!"

"Your matter has been resolved; now it's our turn."

"She obstructed official business and injured a police officer; we must detain her in accordance with the law."
