Twenty years ago, the city of Starley was a vibrant, prosperous and beautiful large-scale modern otherworldly city, but also a utopia inhabited by tens of millions of people who had never suffered from the baptism of war.

Lin Hao, who was only five years old, originally lived in the real world, but during a trip with his parents, the family accidentally broke into the dimensional wormhole, and came to this Starley City.

At first, the people around them were still full of sympathy, after all, the family was unexpectedly displaced and may never return to their hometown, so those neighbors reached out to them and helped them obtain legal citizenship.

Lin Hao's father was a white-collar worker in the real world before, with excellent ability, and was valued by the leaders and bosses, but as the saying goes, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, so in the whole company, the hardest is also him, every day is either overtime, or all kinds of entertainment, although his salary is very high, but this kind of life makes him full of disgust, but in order to make his family live a better life, he can only bear all this silently, even if he is coldly addressed by customers, he still treats each other with a smile, and there is no complaint on the surface.

Lin Hao's mother is a typical housewife, helping her busy husband take care of everything in the house, including daily housework and taking care of and raising young Lin Hao.

But since coming to Starley City and becoming a citizen there, Lin Hao found that his parents have become different from before, his father no longer works, he is idle at home all day, and the husband and wife often quarrel about this, and finally his father simply indulges in bars and casinos all day long, and every time he goes home drunk in the middle of the night, when he loses money and has a bad temper, he will be heavy on his wife and children, and vent his emotions in the form of domestic violence.

Over time, this kind of life has become the norm, and the people around them have gradually become different, and later Lin Hao learned that the original family of three people can receive the minimum living guarantee for three people provided by Starley City, although it is the lowest, but in the real world, it can actually be comparable to the middle class, as long as it is not too profligate, it is more than enough to live an ordinary and comfortable life, so this makes his father no longer have to be busy for life, people's inertia is innate, and it is pressure that defeats inertia, Now that the pressure is gone, inertia is naturally back in the driver's seat.

At that time, Lin Hao was going to school in a kindergarten not far from his home, and the children who were with him were all working parents at home, because they knew that although they could meet their lives by only receiving the subsistence allowance, they would be ridiculed by people, because in this city, a person's dignity is more important than money.

In this way, the young Lin Hao has always been despised by the other children in the class, no one wants to play with him, and even gave him a nickname, called "maggots", which actually means parasites, those children who are taller than him often tease and bully him in various humiliating ways, making him a laughing stock for everyone.

Until one day, my father finally owed a huge debt because of his addiction to gambling, and the creditor came to ask for money, and smashed everything in their house, which happened to be bumped into by Lin Hao who came home from school, he stood trembling outside the door, not daring to go in, and could only watch all this happening at home through the crack in the door.

The mother who took Lin Hao home came up one step later, and saw that her son refused to enter the door, so she asked, "Haohao, what's wrong with you?" Why don't you go in? ”

Lin Hao didn't answer, but looked at her blankly, his face full of horror.

Touch!

The sound of something breaking came from his house, followed by the cries of several strange men.

The mother realized that something was wrong, so she pushed the door in, and the mess in front of her almost frightened her, and suddenly everyone's eyes were on her.

"Who are you!?" The mother yelled with a crying voice, "Why are you smashing our house!? ”

"Your family?" One of them, a shirtless man, walked over to her, "We gave these things, I can smash them if I want!" ”

"What do you mean by giving it!? We paid for it ourselves!? The mother was hoarse, "Hurry up and let me go!" Otherwise, I'll call the police! ”

"Hahaha, call the police?" The man smiled disapprethoughtly and arrogantly, "You parasites, if it weren't for those of us who are working hard to support you, you would have starved to death!" ”

After speaking, he took a piece of paper and shook it in front of the woman full of indignation in front of him: "Your husband, you owe us two million ruso, what do you think?" ”

Lin Hao's mother stared at the IOU signed with her husband's name for a long time, and suddenly felt her mind buzzing, two million rusos, in the real world, is equivalent to more than 10 million yuan, which is obviously an astronomical amount that cannot be repaid for them who have been living on subsistence allowances, even if those who work diligently around them, it is impossible to take out so much money at once.

At this time, Lin Hao's father was sitting on the sofa, not saying a word, his face was like ashes, and he felt deep despair.

"Why ......" Lin Hao's mother burst into tears and walked up to her husband, "Didn't you say it was just a little fun?" Why...... Why do you owe so much money!? ”

Lin Hao's father is still silent, he no longer has any face to face his wife and children, even if his wife is desperately pushing him at this time, he is still expressionless and indifferent.

"Okay, I'm going to quarrel and I'll be arguing!" The big man walked up to Lin Hao's mother, looked at it and said, "That's it, our yard is short of waitresses now, so you can go there to work to pay off your husband's debts." ”

As soon as he heard this, Lin Hao's father suddenly stood up with a swipe: "No! You can't go! There......"

Boom!

One of Dahan's subordinates threw a punch and knocked him to the ground: "Big brother asked her to go to work there to look up to her, don't be ignorant!" ”

"Can't go......" Lin Hao's father covered his face and said in pain.

Boom!

Another kick to his abdomen, and he snorted, making it difficult to even stand up.

"Stop fighting!" Lin Hao's mother wiped her tears, "Okay, I'll go!" ”

"That's pretty much it." After the man who beat the man spat on Lin Hao's father, he swaggered out of the house with the big man and the others, and when they walked past Lin Hao, Lin Hao's expression was no longer fear, but indifference that was extremely inappropriate for his age, as if this incident did not happen to him. 22 Baidu takes a look at the latest chapter of "The Literature of the Returnees" for free reading for the first time.
