Chapter 95 I have no appeal and no need for compensation.
The old man had only been hanging out in their area for a week or two.
He Anran didn't care at first, but she heard from her mother-in-law that there has been a perverted old man on the street recently, who likes to squeeze into places where there are many women. He either bumps into this on purpose, or sneaks up on that, and he likes to pick on his cheek. Female students who are thin and slow to respond, as well as young wives who are carrying things in their hands or holding children, ask her to be more careful when they go out in the future.
He Anran listened to her mother-in-law and realized that she had let the perverted old man get through to her once.
When the old man passed her by, he slapped her butt with his hand and seemed to pinch her. He Anran thought he did it unintentionally! "If I had known, I would have given him a slap in the face. What a shabby old man, he even walks tremblingly, and he still doesn't forget to act like a hooligan!" He Anran gestured twice as he spoke, making Lele next to him giggle.
"An Ran, please don't!" Her mother-in-law heard what she said and gave her several special instructions.
"I heard that the old man is very smart, so he blackmails people. He pretends to have a heart attack when someone catches him. He doesn't know whether it's true or not, and no one dares to argue with him. It's really annoying!"
Regarding this perverted old man, He An complained to Sun Zhe again and then forgot about it.
Today, when my mother-in-law was cooking, she found that there was not much salt in the house.
He Anran had nothing to do, so he hugged Lele and thought about going downstairs to buy a bag. However, he happened to bump into the perverted old man bullying the female student. Not only did he touch her, but he actually pouted and missed his relatives. The little girl was so scared. Girls won’t cry anymore.
The people passing by seemed to be blind, and no one cared about it. Not even one shouted to scare the bad old man.
He Anran didn't like this kind of thing, so he rushed over, grabbed the old man's cotton-padded jacket by the back of his neck, and ripped it off the little girl.
"What are you doing? You're so old, why don't you show some respect? You're playing gangster with a little girl!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Who...who is acting like a hooligan? I...I just care about her. You...let me go!"
Of course, the bad old man wouldn't deny it. He struggled hard, and He Anran certainly couldn't let go.
She shouted to the people next to her to call the police, but when the bad old man realized that he couldn't escape, he actually raised his hand and wanted to hit her Lele.
He Anran was furious at that time, and slapped the bad old man in the face. The sound was crisp, loud, and enjoyable.
"You...you...how dare you hit me!" The bad old man covered his face that was swollen by the slap. He was obviously dumbfounded. It took him a few seconds to react. He was so angry that his face turned red and his neck was thick. Jumping around like a grasshopper.
"It's you I'm beating! If you dare to touch me Lele, let's see if I can beat you to death!"
He Anran yelled at the bad old man, like an angry lioness. The old man's expression was as if he had been struck by a ghost, and he staggered back several steps.
He Anran was too lazy to pay attention to him anymore. He was caring about the little girl, but suddenly he heard a plop behind him, and the bad old man knelt down in front of her.
She was about to tell him not to do this, but before she could open her mouth, the old man felt as if all the bones in his body had been whipped clean. He fell limply to the ground and became motionless.
When He Anran thought of this, she immediately covered her face with her hands in despair. She only hoped that the police could find the surveillance video of the time. If nothing else, it would at least prove that she didn't slap the bad old man in the face for no reason.
If there is no evidence, then she will...
He Anran suddenly remembered the little girl he saved. She was a witness!
She hurriedly raised her head and looked around, but her neck was almost broken and she didn't see anyone. She guessed that something serious had happened and the whole family had sneaked away.
He Anran knew this would happen! Good intentions are never rewarded these days. The more she thought about it, the more she felt wronged and frightened. Tears still rolled out of her rubbed it with her backhand, but the result was more and more rubs. She reached out to touch her pocket, but found that she didn't even have a wrapping paper with her, and she cried even more sadly.
"An Ran? An Ran!" He Anran, who was trying hard to sniff her nose, suddenly heard Sun Zhe's voice. When she turned around, she saw her husband running towards her in a hurry.
"Are you scared? It's okay, I'm coming!"
Sun Zhe didn't even put the bag away, but hugged He Anran tightly into his arms, "We are acting bravely, there is nothing to be afraid of...Really, the worst case scenario is a lawsuit. If it doesn't work, we will just sell the house. We can always get over it." Don’t be afraid!”
Sun Zhe's words finally relaxed He Anran's tightly curled up heart. She hugged Sun Zhe and cried silently. The grievances, fears, regrets and tensions that had accumulated in her heart for the past few hours were all gone. Tears flowed out together.
"...I'm...hungry." After crying, He Anran leaned tiredly in Sun Zhe's arms and suddenly said.
"I know it's a good thing to be hungry. Tell me, what do you want to eat?" Sun Zhe took out his phone and was about to order takeout when he saw a couple walking towards them, carrying a bag of hot packed meals.
"Ms. He, thank you so much today. If it weren't for you, our Qian'er wouldn't know..."
The woman said a few words, and her voice became choked. The husband immediately touched his wife's arm to comfort her.
"Don't worry, both of you, no matter how much compensation the other party wants, it will be borne by us. Ms. He saved our daughter and is our benefactor. We are definitely not the kind of people who are unjust."
The little girl's parents bowed and thanked He Anran, which made He Anran and his wife unable to sit still. He Anran was even more ashamed of having speculated on the other's narrow-minded thoughts just now.
"My wife is usually very timid and doesn't even dare to catch bugs. I didn't expect that she is so powerful today!"
Sun Zhe listened to He Anran's brief explanation and joked. He wanted to ease the tense atmosphere, but it was of no use because the police finally came with the family members of the bad old man.
"This is Sun Qian's family. Regarding the compensation, you can have a brief negotiation first."
He Anran was so guilty that she didn't even dare to raise her head. Using Sun Zhe's cover, she quickly took a peek at the man standing next to the policeman.
The other party didn't look like an unreasonable person, and He Anran felt a little more relaxed, but then she thought about it, that perverted old man didn't look like a gangster!
None of the four people standing in the corner spoke.
He Anran inexplicably remembered the time when he carried his parents on his back to play on the frozen bay pond and almost thin, unfrozen ice cracked under her feet, and the biting cold water quickly soaked through her cotton shoes and trousers.
He Anran, who was less than five years old, gritted her teeth and did not dare to move, let alone cry. She instinctively knew that as long as she moved, once the delicate balance was broken, it would be completely over, just like now. .
In the end, the policeman broke the deadlock. He looked at Sun Yuchi and said, "You can make any demands you have. But don't forget, it was your father who first..."
"I have no appeal and no need for compensation."
Sun Yuchi spoke in an unusually calm tone before the policeman finished speaking.
He Anran, his wife and the little girl's parents were stunned. They had imagined countless possibilities in their minds, but there was no such one.
