"However, I'll be 21 after the New Year, and I'll be an adult! As her older brother, I must see this matter through to the end!"
"When has my sister, Xiao Ning's sister, ever been so easily bullied?"
"Besides, relying on the school is out of the question!"
After Xiao Ning finished speaking aggressively, he turned to Xiao Qiang, who was sitting on the hospital bed, and asked, "Qiang Qiang, tell your brother the names and family situations of those two people, and I will go and seek justice for you!"
Xiao Qiang still shook her head: "Brother, I won't tell you! Just leave me alone, I've thought things through these past two days!"
"Whether it's family background or connections, we're not as good as them. Let's just leave it at that and settle things peacefully. I, Xiao Qiang, accept my fate!"
Although she said this, her face was full of resentment, and tears streamed down her face without her realizing it.
Xiao Ning was furious. He grew up with his grandparents. Later, when Xiao Ning was 5 years old, his uncle Xiao Xiaojun's family had a daughter, Xiao Qiang, who was left in the countryside. In other words, this little sister was Xiao Ning's little follower.
The two grew up together and had a very close relationship. No matter what Xiao Qiang wanted, Xiao Ning would find a way to get it for her. Even if someone bullied her, Xiao Ning would try to help her get revenge.
Now that his sister, whom he couldn't bear to scold or hit, had been disfigured, how could Xiao Ning possibly bear it?
In the past, he would have rushed to the school and beaten those two people up first; he wouldn't have shown such patience now.
It has to be said that going to prison greatly changed Xiao Ning's temperament.
At this time, both his grandparents and his younger sister Xiao Qiang strongly opposed it. Xiao Ning could understand, after all, he knew his own temperament all too well. Recklessness, impulsiveness, irritability, and violence had always been his defining characteristics.
He knew that this was the impression he had given people before, and changing it would not be something that could be done overnight; he could only take it one step at a time.
Xiao Ning took a deep breath and said very sincerely, "Grandpa, Grandma, Qiangqiang, don't worry, I won't do anything reckless. In the past six months in Yuhang City, I have seen a lot and changed a lot!"
"I am not the same person I used to be. Violence cannot solve problems; it will only deepen the conflict!"
"I just want to find out about that girl's situation and try to get her to say something. If she's willing to sincerely apologize to Qiangqiang and her family can pay some medical expenses, then this matter will be over!"
"If she is rude and the family doesn't want to let this matter go, we'll go home and discuss it further. We'll definitely take her to the authorities!"
"Don't you agree with this logic?"
Despite his burning desire to tear the girl to pieces, Xiao Ning dared not reveal any of these thoughts at this moment.
He added, "Besides, even if Qiangqiang doesn't tell me, I can find out at school!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yousheng began to look at his grandson in a new light, feeling immensely gratified. He couldn't stop smiling and said, "Ning Yazi, it seems you've really grown up in the past six months. You've learned to use your brain instead of your fists to solve problems."
Xiao Qiang's eyes narrowed into crescent moons. After hearing her grandfather's words, she nodded vigorously like a chick pecking at rice: "Brother is still the same brother, Qiangqiang is very happy!"
When she was a child, Xiao Qiang always admired her tall older brother Xiao Ning. In her mind, her brother was her guardian angel, almost omnipotent.
But later, my brother changed. He stopped studying properly, was mischievous all day, and fighting was a regular occurrence. He was a real headache for the adults.
Although Xiao Ning still treats her the same way, in Xiao Qiang's mind, her grown-up brother is no longer the omnipotent brother she knew when she was a child.
At this moment, Xiao Ning's spirited words were reasonable and well-founded, which made Xiao Qiang happy. Her brother from back then had returned!
Xiao Ning affectionately patted her head and smiled, "You little rascal, no matter what, your brother will always be the one who protects you!"
"Qiangqiang, tell your brother, what's that girl's name? Which class is she in? And what about the boy who's pursuing you? What's his name? Do you have any pictures of them?"
Speaking of that boy, Xiao Ning felt a surge of irritation.
You want to date my sister? No way!
He already knew how to deal with that boy.
Xiao Qiang looked at her grandparents and saw that they did not object, which meant they had tacitly agreed. She thought for a moment and said, "Brother, the boy in our class is named Chen Yuncheng, and the girl in the next class, Class 9(5), is named Li Yutong!"
Xiao Ning raised an eyebrow: "Surname Chen? Is she from Chenjiawan next door? And the girl surnamed Li is from the Li family in town?"
Chenjiawan is right next to Jinfeng Village, just over a mountain. Lijia is right next to the town. Both villages in Xiaxi are large villages with more than two thousand people, living together as a clan.
Xiao Ning had interacted with people from these two villages quite a bit when he was studying at Xiaxi Middle School, so they were old acquaintances.
Generally speaking, large villages have more people and greater influence, so even children are more assertive than those from small villages.
When Xiao Ning was in elementary school, she was a good student who studied diligently and had excellent grades.
Later, he went to Xiaxi Middle School, where he was often bullied by students from the two villages. In desperation and with no one to turn to for help, he fought back, retaliating with every punch and kick.
Even if you can't beat them, you'll still bite them.
Later on, Xiao Ning simply lost interest in studying and led a group of classmates from a small village who had been bullied by the Chen and Li families to resist violence.

Chapter 19 So That's How It Is
After Xiao Qiang's explanation, Xiao Ning gained some understanding of the girl named Li Yutong.
As far as Xiao Qiang knew, Li Yutong's father was a minor official in the town, something like deputy director of an office, while her mother was a teacher at the town's primary school. They were not from an ordinary farming family.
Li Yutong has an older brother who is doing well in school and is currently studying at a university in another city.
Only Li Yutong, who was spoiled since childhood and pampered by her family, not only did she not study well, but she also dressed like a girl from the streets, always dressed up in a flamboyant way, just like a little delinquent.
Although this girl was somewhat pretty, she was eccentric and domineering, even more so than Xiao Ning back then.
As far as Xiao Qiang knows, Li Yutong seems to have started dating in the first year of junior high school, and now her ex-boyfriends could form a reinforced platoon.
Having learned about the girl's basic situation, Xiao Ning had a plan in mind; dealing with this kind of girl would be a piece of cake.
