Chapter 7: Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors
Han Qin's home is also in Dongfang City, and he basically goes back home once a week.
The family still lived in the dormitory of Dongfang Pharmaceutical Factory, a row of bungalows where dozens of families resided. When they returned home, Han Qin's father, Han Yuchun, was giving an old man acupuncture, while their neighbor, Uncle Li, was helping her mother paste paper boxes.
When Han Yu Chun was ten years old, his father had a car accident and spent a week in the hospital before waking up. Although he survived, everything below his chest was paralyzed. Han Yu Chun was also a hot-blooded man, knowing that he would spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair, waiting for death, his spirit almost collapsed, and he attempted suicide several times. Thanks to his wife Zhang Juan's tearful persuasion, looking at his lovely wife and son, Han Yu Chun slowly calmed down and accepted this cruel reality.
For over a decade, Han Yuchun has not given up on himself after becoming paralyzed. Instead, he has been studying hard. Han Yuchun graduated from Dongfang City Traditional Chinese Medicine School with a major in pharmaceuticals. Over the years, while studying pharmaceutical theory, he also taught himself acupuncture. His efforts have paid off as he has published numerous papers in national-level publications, rivaling those of experts and professors. His acupuncture skills have reached perfection, but Han Yuchun has always provided free medical services, never charging a single penny.
"Uncle Li, you're here!" Han Qin smiled and greeted Li Benjie.
Li Benjie is also a technician at the Chinese medicine factory, and they have been neighbors for many years. He was also one of Father's closest friends who helped them a lot. For so many years since Father became paralyzed, Uncle Li would come to play chess with him whenever he had time. A person sitting in a wheelchair all day long, staying at home, the loneliness in his heart is the greatest torture!
Since Han Yuchun had the car accident, Han Qin gradually felt the coldness and warmth of human relationships. Among neighbors and relatives, on the surface it seemed warm and affectionate, but in fact many people were secretly hoping for your downfall. In between, there was no resentment, just a psychological imbalance. Only when your situation is worse than theirs do they feel at ease.
Han Yuchun was a technician at the factory, and Zhang Juan was a famous beauty. A poor boy from the countryside marrying such a beautiful girl had made many people jealous. Later, Han Yuchun got into a car accident, and to save her husband, Zhang Juan borrowed money everywhere, causing their family's life to fall into difficulties, only then did these people feel balanced in their minds!
Han Qin had once read a story like this. In a very poor mountain village, a family's child went missing and was later found to have been cruelly thrown into a well. The public security authorities identified it as a revenge killing, but the child's parents were kind and gentle, never having any enemies. After the case was solved, the truth was astonishing. The murderer was their neighbor, and the reason was that they saw them eating dumplings. What are you eating dumplings for on an ordinary day? Your life is so comfortable! I'll throw your kid into the well, let's see how comfortable you are then!
Time reveals people's hearts, and it's hard to find someone who understands you!
Li Benjie saw Han Qin carrying a strange object and laughed: "Han Qin, where did you get this thing from? What kind of antique is it?"
"This is a leak I picked up from the antique market for 30 bucks. Uncle Li, when I get rich, I'll treat you to a drink." Han Qin didn't take out that spring palace painting, this thing really needs to be hidden!
Zhang Juan and Li Benjie both burst out laughing, thinking Han Qin was telling a joke. Picking up a windfall fortune is almost the same as buying a lottery ticket and winning the jackpot!
"Auntie!" A sweet female voice rang out, and a girl walked in. The girl was Li Benjie's daughter, named Li Xiaolu, 17 years old, and currently in her second year of high school. The young lady was slender and elegant, with a clear and refined appearance, and was also intelligent and wise, with excellent grades that ranked among the top in her school.
Li Xiaolu saw Han Qin also at home, and called out softly: "Brother!" Han Qin nodded with a smile, and exchanged greetings with the little girl. As neighbors for many years, plus Li Shu and his own family relationship was good, Han Qin had long regarded this beautiful and sensible girl as his own sister.
Zhang Juan saw Li Xiaolu wanting to speak but stopping, and knew she must have something on her mind. She smiled gently: "Xiaolu, do you have something on your mind? Whatever it is, just tell Auntie."
Li Xiaolu's eyes suddenly became hot, and she almost shed tears. Li Xiaolu's mother was originally a dan actress in a theater troupe, but later the troupe was disbanded due to poor performance, and Li Xiaolu's mother went into business with someone else, but didn't make any money, and instead ran off with a small boss. A teenage girl, without even anyone to talk to about her own affairs, how could she not feel heartbroken!
After hesitating for a moment, Li Xiaolu's face turned red as she explained the whole story.
There was a boy named Lü Hu, who was her junior high school classmate. It's said that his family is in real estate development and very wealthy. Lü Hu started writing notes to her from the third year of junior high, asking her out to dinner. Li Xiaolu was very disgusted with this guy who couldn't even walk properly when he saw a pretty girl, and she scolded him multiple times, also telling the teacher about it.
When Li Xiaolu went to high school, she entered a key school, while Lv Hu did not get into high school and had no interest in studying. He dropped out of school to help his father make money. Li Xiaolu was relieved to have finally gotten rid of this fly, but unexpectedly, Lv Hu still wouldn't give up and would often wait for her at the school gate.
Knowing that her father was honest by nature, Li Xiaolu was afraid of worrying him and had never told him about this. In order to reduce trouble, Li Xiaolu would not easily go out of the school gate, and if she really had no choice, she would definitely find a classmate to accompany her.
I didn't expect that Lü Hu would become more and more daring, this time he actually came to my home. He said that today is his birthday, and he must have Li Xiaolu go out with him for dinner, otherwise he will be very angry, and the consequences will be severe!
As soon as Li Xiaolu said that, Han Qin immediately got angry. Isn't Lü Hu a bully who takes advantage of men and women? Han Qin is also an experienced person, knowing that for a beautiful girl like Li Xiaolu, having several boys chasing after her in school is a normal thing. For such a pestering guy who even threatens people's safety, parents can't just sit back and do nothing!
Li Benjie's face turned red with rage, gritting his teeth as he said: "This is really too much! I'll go find them, if not I'll report to the police!"
Han Qin gently pulled him back. Li Benjie was weak and thin, even facing these little hooligans he couldn't hold his ground. Call the police? What could they do about this kind of thing?
Look at Li Xiaolu who was holding back her tears, Han Qin asked gently: "Xiaolu, did you say this kid came to our home?"
Li Xiaolu nodded and said: "That Lv Hu didn't come, he sent two little girls to say that they came to invite me. Lv Hu is waiting for me in the hotel, if I don't go, he'll come over and smash my house!"
Han Qin snorted: "Xiao Lu, I'll go with you. I'd like to see what kind of thing dares to be so arrogant!"
Zhang Juan saw Han Qin's pale face and instructed, "Just scare that kid a bit, as long as he doesn't bother Xiaolü again, it's fine. Whatever you do, don't get into a fight with him!"
"Mom, don't worry, I have a plan," Han Qin replied. In his heart, he had already made up his mind that when dealing with this kind of hoodlum, it ultimately came down to who was stronger!
Li Xiaolu's home indeed has two little girls! One of them had her hair styled like a rooster's crest, wearing a pair of large white earrings, with a rose tattooed on her shoulder. Her denim shorts were really too short, half of her plump butt was exposed outside, and with just a slight movement, she revealed both her pubic hair and crack.
Han Qin frowned in disgust, whoever raised such a daughter was truly unfortunate! Han Qin coldly asked: "Are you two looking for my sister?"
The chicken crown looked up and down at Han Qin with panda eyes, smiling slyly: "Handsome guy, it's our boss's birthday today, want to invite your sister over for a drink to celebrate!"
Li Xiaolu angrily retorted: "I don't even know you guys, who's going drinking with you!"
Han Qin burst out laughing and said: "My sister says she doesn't know you, since your boss is waiting at the hotel, I'll go with you then!"
The little girl was about to speak, when Han Qin pinched the two little girls' plump and smooth necks with one hand each. With a slight effort, he lifted them out of the door!
