"Who! Who dares hit me!" Xu Chun was kicked to the ground, landing face-first into the dirt.
Some in the crowd laughed, others exclaimed.
"Ah, Li Sui is back!"
Li Sui, dressed in blue, looked at Xu Chun with hatred in his eyes. He withdrew his foot and hurried to help his parents.
"Father, Mother!" Li Sui saw his father's mud-covered hand and his mother's pained, pale face.
"Sui'er!" Mrs. Li endured the pain in front of Li Sui, patted his hand, and asked with concern, "Child, are you okay? Why did you come back so late?"
Li Sui was about to explain that he went to the Ministry of Personnel, thus returning late, when he suddenly heard a loathsome voice.
"Oh, it's the former prisoner, Mr. Li, back again!" Xu Chun stood up, clutching his cheek. Li Sui's kick had scraped his face on the ground, drawing blood. A nearby thug handed Xu Chun a handkerchief, and Xu Chun painfully wiped the blood and dirt from his face.
