"Brother, are you crazy!" Yun Jianzhou still firmly disagreed. "This will bring trouble to our family! What if someone sees us..."
"Everyone should be taking a nap at home or working at this time. No one will notice us."
Yun Fujin had already started to pick the man up on his back.
"We need to act quickly and quietly. Hurry up."
"I think you're really out of your mind!" Yun Jianzhou said angrily, throwing his hands up.
But since Yun Fujin had already started, Yun Jianzhou had no choice but to help. He supported Teacher Li and helped settle him on Yun Fujin's back.
On the way home, Yun Jianzhou kept complaining.
"I said we shouldn't get involved, but you just had to. What if something goes wrong later? Who will take the responsibility?"
Yun Fujin's steps were a bit heavy. He gritted his teeth and adjusted Teacher Li on his back.
"I'll take the responsibility if something happens."
"You make it sound so easy!" Yun Jianzhou snorted. "If something really goes wrong, no one in our family will be able to get away with it!"
Even so, Yun Jianzhou still couldn't bear to stand by. He helped Yun Fujin adjust Teacher Li on his back.
The three siblings staggered all the way and finally carried the man back home.
Hearing the strange noise in the yard, Yun Yi immediately ran out. She was startled to see that they had brought back a man.
"Who is this?" Yun Yi ran up and took a look. She gasped in surprise. "You... How could you bring him back?!"
"Keep your voice down," Yun Fujin whispered. "Close all the doors in the house and the yard. Then go get some cold water and prepare some food. As soon as he wakes up, let him leave immediately. Make sure no one finds out."
Yun Yi nodded nervously. She quickly grabbed Yun Que'er and led her into the house. Then she closed all the doors and windows tightly, leaving not even a crack.
The temperature in the room suddenly rose. Afraid that Yun Que'er would get too hot, Yun Yi specially scooped up some cold water for her.
After they were done, they finally had time to take a closer look at Teacher Li.
As soon as they rolled up his sleeve, they found that his arm was full of scars.
Some were old injuries, like the ones left by whips, with patches of scars. Others were new injuries, just bruises but still scary when they were all over his arm.
Normally, they should have called a doctor, but because of his identity, it was not convenient. So they could only use the alcohol left over from Yun Jianzhou's injury last time to treat his wounds.
Yun Fujin waved to Yun Yi. "It's not convenient for you two to stay here. Go out quickly."
"Okay, I understand. I'll guard the door for you," Yun Yi replied nervously. She quickly pulled Yun Que'er out.
The two of them leaned against the door on either side, holding their breath and paying attention to the noise outside.
Fortunately, everyone was quite busy at this time, so no one noticed anything unusual in their yard.
After a long time, Yun Que'er finally let out a small sigh of relief. She looked at Yun Yi with a worried face.
"I found him near the garbage dump, Third Sister. Did I bring trouble to our family..."
Yun Yi didn't blame Yun Que'er. She just said,
"What will be will be. If it's a blessing, we can't stop it. If it's a disaster, we can't avoid it. It's just our fate to meet him today."
Yun Que'er nodded thoughtfully. Then she asked,
"Third Sister, I heard Second Brother say that he is a rascal. What's going on?"
Yun Yi's expression changed. "Kids shouldn't ask about these things."
But the more they said so, the more curious Yun Que'er became. At least she had to figure out what was going on with the man they had saved.
Yun Que'er started to pester Yun Yi. After a while, Yun Yi finally gave in.
"I heard it when Dad was chatting with others. I heard that one night after school, he tried to harass a female student in the office. Just then, the patrolling janitor came in and caught him red - handed. Fortunately, nothing really happened. His family paid some money, so he was sentenced to three or four years. I guess he just got out of prison."
Yun Que'er frowned. In those days, harassing someone was a serious crime. One could even be executed.
Teacher Li was only sentenced to three or four years, so it was likely that he didn't really harass the student and didn't want to violate her.
But why was he arrested?
Moreover, from the meeting with Yun Motan last time, Yun Que'er could roughly tell that this man was honest and kind, and didn't like to cause trouble or gossip about others.
If Teacher Li had really done such a thing, Yun Motan should have avoided him, not chatted about him with others. That would only bring trouble to himself.
Yun Que'er thought for a while and then asked,
"So actually he didn't harass that student, right?"
Yun Yi seemed to be startled by Yun Que'er. She quickly pulled her to her side and whispered,
"How do you know that? You weren't even born at that time."
"Of course I don't know," Yun Que'er shook her head. "I guessed. Otherwise, Dad wouldn't have talked about him in private."
Yun Yi nodded seriously and whispered in Yun Que'er's ear.
"I also heard about him when I was in school. Everyone said that he was a very good teacher. If a student couldn't afford to eat, he would secretly save his own food for the student. If a student didn't understand something, he would give extra lessons to the student. Everyone had a good impression of him. But I guess it was because he was too kind that he was framed."
"Framed?" Yun Que'er's eyes widened. "You mean he..."
"Keep your voice down," Yun Yi reminded in a low voice. "I shouldn't even have told you this. Just pretend you don't know. Dad secretly went to see him before. He told Dad that that night, it was really the female student who asked him to give her extra lessons. At first, they were sitting properly. But somehow, the female student suddenly sat on his lap. Before he could push her away, the janitor suddenly came in."
Yun Que'er's eyes widened in surprise. Oh my god, this female student was really scheming!
"Didn't he defend himself at that time?"
"It's... It's useless even if he defended himself. Who would believe him?" Yun Yi shook her head. "I heard that during the court trial, the female student kept crying and insisted that Teacher Li was trying to do something to her. Later, Dad wanted to find evidence for Teacher Li, but when he went to look for the female student again, she had already dropped out of school. But I met her once on my way home from school last year. She was already hanging out with a hooligan in the town."
