Chapter 474: Scapegoating Of A Brat
The name of the boy with crew cut hair was Wei Jin, the most mischievous one out of the bunch.
The house that Yun Jian and Yun Zhu had passed by earlier was his house. With his friends’ goading, Wei Jin picked up the firecrackers to launch it at them. It was pretty apparent that he was not thinking with his head.
Upon the prompt by a kid beside him, Wei Jin was huffing instantly. He was scolded by his mother too and it was all because of these two people in front of him!
“This is our territory! You can’t come over!” Yun Jian and Yun Zhu had not said a word but Wei Jin was already propping his arms on his hips and gesturing for his playmates to link hands and made a wall to prevent the trip from going through.
Children were naïve in their thoughts. When Wei Jin and his friends did that, the adults around them did not care even when they saw it.
“Stupid.” Yun Zhu slipped his hands off Yun Jian and Si Yi’s hold to pull his eyelids down and stuck out his tongue to make a face at Wei Jin and his playmates.
“What? He called us stupid! You’re stupid, you’re the stupid one!” Wei Jin moved his stumpy little self over once he heard what Yun Zhu said.
“Jinjin, go for it, beat him up! Chase them away!”
The boys cheered behind Wei Jin like the whippersnappers they were.
The stimulation had only added fuel to Wei Jin’s fire. He ran over when the adults did not pay attention and stretched his hand to push Yun Zhu.
Children’s fights were nothing more than you pushing me and me pushing you. At their young age, usual kids did not know advanced moves other than shoving each other around.
Once Wei Jin came to Yun Zhu and was prepared to give him a hard shove, his wrist was caught by Si Yi’s large hand.
“You… Let go! This is between us men!” Wei Jin looked up at Si Yi in what he assumed to be intimidation like a little adult.
“Are you going to bully him?” Si Yi looked down at Wei Jin who was plump like a rice ball, his deep voice laced with discontent.
“Humph, I got scolded by my mom because of him, so he has to pay for it!” Wei Jin gritted.
“Hah!” Si Yi suddenly let go of Wei Jin’s fat hand and scoffed, not paying much mind when he did.
Wei Jin was only a child. He staggered back when Si Yi loosened his hold abruptly and fell down on his back. His hands and buttocks did not even hurt when he landed but he stayed seated on the floor and wailed, “Grandma! Grandma! Wa… Someone bullied me!”
The shrill cry finally attracted the attention of the adults who were buying firecrackers.
At the sound of the boy, an old woman in her fifties dressed in floral print came scurrying fashionably from the shop, crying, “Oh, my little precious baby! What is it? What is it?”
She came to Wei Jin in an instant and carefully pulled him up like he was a precious treasure.
“My baby grandson, what is it? Who bullied you? Grandma will make them pay even if I have to risk myself!” The old woman was Wei Jin’s grandmother, Mu Lanhua.
When she saw her precious grandson fall, her heart nearly leapt out of her throat.
“It’s him! It’s him! Grandma, it hurts! My hands hurt, my buttocks hurt too!” Wei Jin got up himself and pointed at Yun Jian, Si Yi and Yun Zhu, shouting like he was severely injured.
