Drinking porridge with pickles, Xu Tongdao didn't frown, although before he was reborn, his food was much better than this.

Because of such a hard life, he used to live too much, and life forced him to adapt.

In the original time and space, after his father disappeared, he has done many kinds of jobs.

Construction site worker, restaurant chores, security guard, cutting and matching, spoon in charge, bricklayer, plumber, packaging worker, housing agent, food delivery...... Wait a minute.

Almost none of them are easy jobs, and the easiest ones are probably the six months when I was a security guard.

He has eaten big fish and meat, coarse tea and light rice, and he is just waiting for leisure.

"Big brother, where did you say Daddy, he's going to come back, right?"

Ge Yuzhu, who was sitting on the stool on the other side of the Eight Immortals Table, asked Xu Tongdao softly.

When Xu Tongdao heard this, he didn't raise his head, but replied casually: "You just treat him as dead, don't ask again in the future!"

Ge Yuzhu looked at him and whispered "oh".

Xu Tongdao drank porridge very quickly, drank half a bowl in a few sips, and when he stretched out his chopsticks to pick pickles again, he glanced at Ge Yuzhu, who was silent beside him, and asked, "Do you remember who those people who came to our house two days ago to ask for debts and move things?"

Ge Yuzhu frowned and blinked, her expression a little puzzled, "Big brother, what are you asking for?" Mom said that those things were moved away, and our family will not come back." ”

Xu Tongdao didn't argue with her, just frowned and asked: "You don't have to worry so much, just tell me, how many people do you remember who came to move things that day?"

"Big Brother ......"

Ge Yuzhu called him weakly, obviously trying to persuade him.

But under Xu Tongdao's gaze, she still didn't dare to persuade again, lowered her head slightly, and whispered the names of several people.

This matter, for Xu Tongdao, is too long, more than 20 years ago, he only remembers a few that are impressive, and he can't remember the others.

And his sister Ge Yuzhu can't remember all the people who came to their house a few days ago to ask for debts and move things, and it may be that there are some people she doesn't know.

Xu Tongdao silently listened to the few names she said, his expression was still very calm, he only nodded slightly, and then divided five by two, and drank the remaining half bowl of porridge.

After drinking, I put down the chopsticks casually, got up and went to the gate wall to change rubber boots, it was still raining outside, and the village was full of muddy roads, and it was very muddy.

Seeing that he was going out, it seemed that he was going to settle accounts with those people, Ge Yuzhu's face turned pale, and he hurriedly followed, and hurriedly persuaded: "Big brother, big brother, where are you going? Don't go, right? Mom said forget ......it."

Never mind?

Xu Tongdao was unmoved.

In the original time and space, he and his younger brother listened to their mother's words, forget it, and didn't go to those people for trouble, but what was the result?

Those "creditors" who emptied his house came to their house to move again when the grain received them, and that time it wasn't for him and his younger brother Xu Tonglu who fought hard with those people with a kitchen knife and an axe, their house would have been emptied once.

It's just driving their whole family to their death.

Therefore, just now Xu Tongdao made a decision in his heart, since this matter is not over yet, then end this matter as soon as possible, whether it is literary or martial, he will accompany them all.

Fearlessness is a character he has developed long before he is reborn.

After his father disappeared in the original time and space, life at home was so difficult, and he and his brother had no less fights with others.

And if there are too many fights, there is nothing to be afraid of.

Everyone is carrying a head on one shoulder, who do you need to be afraid of?

"You wash the pots and dishes at home, prepare the lunch meal, and you don't have to worry about the rest!

Xu Tongdao, who had changed into rubber boots, casually took off an old umbrella hanging on the wall, told his sister, raised his feet and went out.

Behind him, my sister called out worriedly: "Big brother, don't go, big brother, come back, ...... you."

Xu Tongdao heard that there was already a cry in his sister's voice.

But he didn't look back, holding an umbrella and walking towards the village with a cold face.

His father was gone, disgracefully gone, and there were rumors in several nearby villages that his father had eloped with his aunt and uncle, and had left them orphans and widows with a pile of gambling debts.

If he doesn't make changes in this life, he knows better than anyone how sad the following days will be.

In his memory, not only when the grain received from his home this year, those creditors would come to his house to rob it once, and for many years to come, their whole family would not be able to raise their heads in the village.

Those people in the village not only laughed at their family behind their backs, but even to their faces, and several old bachelors and second-rate people in the village also wanted to beat his mother and his sister's idea.

Didn't take him and his brother seriously.

When there is no man left in their family, only two and a half children are left, and everyone dares to bully.

He and his brother fought over these things many times.

Fighting is not good, he knows that.

But it turns out that after every time he and his brother fought over these shitty things, their family's life in the village was a little better.

At least, there are fewer and fewer people who dare to bully their family, their mother and his sister, and gradually there are no more.

As for calling the police?

It's not like they haven't tried.

But the police can't protect their whole family 24 hours a day, their Xujia Village, after all, is just a small mountain village under the small county town, and there are some things that must be faced by themselves.

People are good at being bullied, and horses are good at being ridden.

Xu Tongdao has long understood this truth.

Maybe it's better in the city, but in the countryside, especially in this era, if a family wants not to be bullied by others, there must be a man in the family who can be feared.

......

Xujia Village is located between two mountain bags, one large and one small.

A long ditch runs through the middle of the village, and on a rainy day like today, the rain from the mountains will make the water in this ditch swell and rush towards the village.

It eventually flows into the West River, about a mile away.

As for the West River?

It flows into the Yangtze River.

Xu Tongdao held an umbrella, walked on the dirt road by the ditch, listened to the sound of running water in the ditch, his face was very cold, but his expression was very calm, and he walked to the entrance of the commissary at the head of the village without hurrying.

At this time, a bunch of women, children, and a few old men and ladies sat at the entrance of the commissary and chatted, and Wang Cuihua, the hostess of the commissary, sat behind the counter and knocked melon seeds with a smile.

These people saw Xu Tongdao with an umbrella and walked straight over with a cold face, and they all looked at Xu Tongdao with different expressions, and the sound of chatting slowly stopped.

An old lady asked curiously, "Xiaodao, are you here to buy something?" Do you still have money to buy things?"

Xu Tongdao ignored her, walked to the counter without squinting and with a cold face, and said to Wang Cuihua in the counter: "Where is your Jinshan? Let him come out!"
