Zhou Xianbai's mother, Fang Xiaocui, usually gets off work at six o'clock, usually goes grocery shopping first, and goes home to cook at about seven o'clock.

And his father, Zhou Shihai, came back at about half past seven, had a meal and rested for a while, and continued to visit the store.

"But it's eight o'clock now, why is there no movement in the living room, and no one has come to call me?"

Zhou Xianbai frowned, opened the door, and walked out of the room.

"Huh?"

As soon as he walked out of the door, the scene in the living room suddenly stunned him.

Zhou Xianbai's mother sat alone on the sofa, sobbing in a low voice, tears sliding from the corners of her eyes, and her eyes were red.

"What's going on?"

Zhou Xianbai's heart suddenly had an ominous premonition, walked over quickly, and said in a deep voice:

"Mom, what's wrong with you? And what about my dad?"

Fang Xiaocui was startled when she saw Zhou Xianbai suddenly appear, and quickly wiped the corners of her eyes twice with her sleeve, and turned her head:

"It's okay, it's nothing......"

Is this a way to deceive children?

Zhou Xianbai frowned, and his voice raised slightly:

"Mom, I'm sixteen years old, I'm about to graduate from high school, I'm not a kid anymore!"

"If there's something, I don't want you to hide it from me, tell me, and I can help solve it, at least come up with ideas!"

When Fang Xiaocui heard his words, she turned her head and said in a hoarse voice:

"It's nothing else, it's just your dad ......"

While speaking, Fang Xiaocui's eyes turned to Zhou Xianbai, but she was stunned:

"Xiaobai, you ...... What's the matter with your head?And how are your shoes tattered?!"

"Did you go out and fight with people and be a bastard?"

Thinking of this possibility, Fang Xiaocui suddenly felt dizzy in front of her.

My husband just had a problem, and my son actually got into trouble, which is simply ......

"Huh?"

Zhou Xianbai glanced down at his shoes, realized something, and said in a loud voice:

"Mom, it's okay, this shoe was accidentally kicked and broken, you also know that I practiced martial arts at school, and my strength is a little stronger!"

"There is also a blood stain on this head, which was smashed by a falling object from a high altitude, it is no big deal, and the other party also paid me thousands of yuan!"

He kicked the security door, how explosive was it? The sneakers on his feet had already become tattered, and he could only wear them back home.

And when he returned home, he was anxious to test Senrong's body forging technique, and he didn't change his shoes and wash his face, but he was seen by his mother.

"Is that so?"

Fang Xiaocui glanced at her son suspiciously, and Zhou Xianbai hurriedly said:

"Mom, you go on, what's wrong with my dad?!"

"Your father, alas, ......" Fang Xiaocui sighed, and her tone was heavy:

"Go down today, those bastards came to your father's shop and said that the cleaning fee should be doubled, and they would have to pay half a year at once. ”

"Your dad didn't want to, but after two arguments, they beat him up, the store was smashed, and people were arrested......"

"What?"

Zhou Xianbai's face changed abruptly.

The so-called "street cleaning fee" is just a protection fee.

During the war years, public order was often polarized – in important areas, semi-military administration, law and order was very good, while in remote areas, law and order was badly corrupted.

Zhou Xianbai's family is in average condition, and they don't live in a high-end community in the city center, and the security in the nearby neighborhoods is of course poor.

But what Zhou Xianbai couldn't figure out was that with his father's character, a middle-aged man with a family and a room, even if the other party went too far, most of them would endure it.

How could you argue with the other party on the spot, and the consequences are so serious?

"How can this be? Dad, he ......."

"They doubled the cost, and it was 12,000 yuan for half a year at a time, and your dad ...... him"

When Fang Xiaocui said this, she subconsciously glanced at Zhou Xianbai, and quickly turned her head away.

Zhou Xianbai was slightly stunned, then understood and fell silent.

This was the war years, and if you couldn't get into the martial arts university, you would be considered an adult at the age of sixteen, and you would have to participate in military service for three years.

However, when he also joined the army, some places were in the war zone, and he died for a lifetime, while some places guarded the interior, except for the occasional encirclement and suppression of the big cadres and strong people who were wandering, and the safety was very high.

"Yes...... My parents never thought that I would be admitted to a martial arts college, so they saved money for me in advance, and prepared to walk for me when the time came......"

The family is not rich in the first place, and if he wants to take out this money, he may have to borrow it, no wonder his father is unwilling to give so much money at one time.

Zhou Xianbai was not silent for too long, and asked directly:

"What did those people say, how did they let my dad come back?"

"Those people ......" Fang Xiaocui hesitated for a moment, looked at Zhou Xianbai's firm eyes, and still said in a low voice:

"They asked someone to bring them and said that they wanted us to take out 20,000 yuan and send them over before they were willing to let your father come back. ”

Zhou Xianbai took a deep breath, did not hesitate, and immediately said:

"Mom, I have 5,000 yuan here, which was paid to me by the family who threw objects from the sky! You can get me another 15,000 yuan, and then save my father first. ”

He didn't kill him directly because his strength had skyrocketed, but he was ready to ensure his father's safety first.

As for what happened after he rescued his father......

He faced his mother, his face was as usual, and the anger and murderous intent in his heart were like the cold light of a sharp blade out of the sheath, skyrocketing inch by inch.

If he has the strength and can't stand out in the face of his family's humiliation, then what is the use of him cultivating martial arts?

"Okay! but send this money......"

Fang Xiaocui agreed, but looked at Zhou Xianbai, and her face was a little hesitant.

Zhou Xianbai saw her scruples, and immediately said:

"Mom, don't worry, I'm a man, I'll send this money over!

"This ...... All right. ”

Fang Xiaocui got up and entered the bedroom, and after a while, she took out a large envelope and handed it to Zhou Xianbai:

"Xiaobai, you ...... You have to be careful, don't be impulsive!"

Zhou Xianbai took the envelope, put his 5,000 yuan in it, and smiled at his mother:

"Mom, don't worry, I went over this time to be calm and reasonable with them. ”
