Yuguo stayed busy until midnight before he got home.
Uncle Zhang hadn't gone to sleep yet and asked with concern, "Yuguo, why are you up so late today? Being young doesn't mean you can neglect your health."
"Oh, thank you," said Yuguo, as he paused and handed Uncle Zhang a cigarette, "I was supposed to be back earlier, but I ran into a group of about ten people trying to bully Xiao He near Yuncheng's place. I just took them in, that's why I'm late."
"Ah? Is Xiao He alright?"
"She's fine, Yuncheng was protecting her, just got startled," Yuguo yawned, "You go rest, Uncle, I'm heading back to sleep."
"Yeah, sure."
The next day, all the elders in the courtyard knew something had happened to Lin Nianhe last night.
"They got the nerve to pick on men, what kind of skill is it to bully a girl?"
"Let's not even mention how many people from the Lin Family have died or shed blood over three generations, just consider the foreign exchange earnings Nianhe has brought to the Trade Fair."
