Chapter 387

Sihe Academy

Passing through the middle courtyard, Cao Weiguo saw Banggeng crying and making a scene in the courtyard.

Listening from afar for a moment, it turned out Banggeng had been bullied at school.

Although Qin Huairu had pushed all the blame for the theft onto Jia Zhangshi,

hugging the principal's legs and crying on the ground,

forcing Banggeng to write a self-criticism, and getting the principal to show leniency and let Banggeng stay at school for observation,

the students at the school didn't let the little thief Banggeng off the hook.

Led by Liu Guangfu and the other children of the Sihe Academy, they chased Banggeng, shouting "thief."

Banggeng had a bad temper, and when he got anxious, he would hit people.

But the outside was different from home; there was no Qin Huairu or Jia Zhangshi to protect him.

As soon as he started a fight, Banggeng was beaten by the group until his face was bruised and swollen.

Having suffered grievances outside, Banggeng returned home to cry and throw a tantrum.

He shouted for Qin Huairu to vent his anger and also shouted that he wouldn't go to school.

Qin Huairu felt sorry for Banggeng and hugged him, tears streaming down her face,

perfectly portraying the helplessness and misery of a widow and orphan.

This scene made people unable to help but sigh.

The merciful Yi Zhonghai was comforting them in a gentle voice.

He even took White Rabbit creamy candies out of his pocket to give to Banggeng.

Anyone who didn't know would think Banggeng was Yi Zhonghai's own grandson.

Seeing Cao Weiguo return with a local dog,

Banggeng's eyes were full of hatred.

He believed that being bullied and mocked was all caused by Cao Weiguo.

If it weren't for Cao Weiguo reporting it, he wouldn't have been caught and sent to the juvenile detention center.

He wouldn't have been bullied, mocked, and ostracized by his classmates.

The children outside all called him a thief and wouldn't play with him anymore.

He hated Cao Weiguo!

He wanted to take revenge on Cao Weiguo!

Unlike Banggeng's full heart of hatred, Qin Huairu was full of covetousness.

Although she complained that Cao Weiguo was heartless, she hoped even more that Cao Weiguo would marry her.

As long as she could remarry Cao Weiguo, absolutely no one would dare to bully Banggeng again in the future.

She thought Banggeng was bullied entirely because he had no father and there was no man in the house to back him up.

Cao Weiguo returned home, and Yu Li and He Yushui were sewing clothes together with Song Yulan.

The three women were gathered around the sewing machine, chatting happily.

"Woof, woof, woof!"

The little local dog, having arrived in an unfamiliar environment, barked uneasily.

It immediately caught the attention of the three women: "A little dog!"

He Yushui: "So cute!"

Song Yulan: "Why did you bring a dog back?"

Cao Weiguo put the little dog on the ground: "It's not safe in the courtyard, I brought it back to watch the house."

The three women all knew who Cao Weiguo was talking about.

With neighbors like Banggeng and Jia Zhangshi, one really did need to keep a dog to watch the house.

But wasn't this dog a bit too small?

This dog was a Chinese rural dog, commonly known as a local dog, called a grass dog in the south, and a firewood dog or stupid dog in the north.

Cao Weiguo lovingly stroked the little dog's head: "Its name is Afu, it's a brave little guy, it will definitely be able to watch the house well in the future."

He Yushui walked over and said crisply: "Brother Weiguo, can you let me pet it?"

Cao Weiguo said with a smile: "Of course, go ahead."

He Yushui reached out to pet Afu, but Afu sensitively moved its short legs and ran away.

Afu not giving her face made He Yushui a bit unhappy.

"You won't let me pet you?"

"I'm going to pet you!"

He Yushui threw a tantrum and chased after Afu, insisting on petting it.

One person and one dog chased each other in the room, making the others laugh.

"Woof, woof, woof!"

Hearing the dog barking in the Cao house, the Deaf Old Lady poked the ground with her cane:

"Heartless dog thing!"

"Raising a dog in the courtyard, barking and disturbing the peace."

The Second Aunt, who was washing vegetables, sneered: "Your ears aren't good, yet you can still hear a dog bark? Are you really deaf or just pretending?"

The Deaf Old Lady glared at the Second Aunt: "No one will take you for a mute if you don't speak."

In the room, He Yushui and Afu were playing, and Yu Li left after chatting for a while.

Song Yulan went to the kitchen to cut vegetables and cook, and Cao Weiguo took out his tools and the remaining wood.

Taking advantage of the remaining daylight, he skillfully made a doghouse in the courtyard.

Little Afu quite liked the doghouse, and liked the food Cao Weiguo prepared for it even more.

Cornmeal buns soaked in vegetable soup made little Afu wag its tail while eating.

Seeing this, the Deaf Old Lady gritted her teeth in anger, cursing Cao Weiguo for being heartless.

She couldn't even eat such good things, yet Cao Weiguo took it out to feed a dog.

One had to know that the vegetable soup Cao Weiguo used to soak the buns also had meat juices in it.
