Chapter 78 Don't Make Me Unwilling to Call You
Early winter, shantytown in the old city of Longjiang.

Colorful clothes covered with dust were hung wet outside the window, and messy electrical wires with broken rubber coatings hung diagonally from the wall to the roof of the alley.

The tin roofs and sheds built haphazardly in the shantytown squeeze the already small space of the old house.

Not to mention cars, even if two electric bikes meet in an alley, they have to carefully pull over and rub against the wall, which will inevitably rub off some gravel and dirt.

Xu Qingshan stood at the entrance of the alley and looked inside.

Sewage filled the drains, forming a ditch. The cement walls on both sides were covered with various advertisements for making false certificates and helping fallen women find new jobs.

Xu Qingshan walked into the shadow of the alley with a calm expression.

He walked for a long time in the winding alleys before he found the building of his destination. He climbed up the steep stairs that could only accommodate half of his foot and reached the third floor of this dilapidated self-built house.

There are many residents here, and some doors are open. A young but dark-skinned woman is washing vegetables with her child. When she sees the clean Xu Qingshan, she looks away.

312.

The door was very shabby, and the advertisement on it had some marks on it, which looked like it had been kicked in.

Xu Qingshan knocked on the door.

There was only silence in response to him.

The dark-skinned woman went out to take a look and quickly closed the door.

"Knock knock knock."

Xu Qingshan knocked on the door again.

"Is the third one here?"

"Who?"

"what's up?"

The voice was dull and lifeless, like that of a decadent and cowardly middle-aged man.

Xu Qingshan did not answer.

"Yah"

The shabby door opened, and a man emitting a foul odor stood at the door. His hair was long and disheveled to his ears, and he looked like a beggar.

"You are."

"Go in and talk."

Xu Qingshan didn't care about the dirtiness of the place. He pushed Lin Chenhua, went into the house, and frowned.

The room was about ten square meters, but it was filled with garbage and half-unpacked goods. Some of the clothes seemed to have been splashed with something and had turned yellow and moldy.

This doesn't look like a place where people can live at all.

There was no proper bed here, only bedding spread on the floor, and a half-eaten lunch box on an upside-down paint bucket nearby.

"you are?"

Lin Chenhua was also frowning and thinking. He just felt that the young man in front of him was very kind. He was kind by nature and not cruel. He was just stubborn and loyal.

Such people will be the first cannon fodder to be sacrificed in this society.

"My mother's name is Lin Yuehua."

Xu Qingshan went in and opened the windows for ventilation, then he simply sorted out the garbage in the room and made room for himself to sit.

Lin Chenhua then remembered that he had a nephew.

But this man was stunned. Seeing Xu Qingshan take action, he subconsciously followed suit and did not ask Xu Qingshan to stop.

"Sit down and let's talk."

Xu Qingshan sat on another paint bucket with his arms and legs stretched out.

He closed the door first.

"Brother, why are you here?"

The elders in southern Fujian like to call their younger generations "brother" and "sister". This applies to everyone from one or two year old children to those in their thirties or forties, as long as they are young.

"If I don't come, have you forgotten that you have a mother?"

Xu Qingshan was not polite in his words.

This uncle doesn't have a bad heart, but he has done stupid things, and more than one of them.

After I was released from prison, there was no one to care for me or teach me. I was only seventeen years old when I went to prison. Now that I am out, I still have the mentality of a seventeen-year-old.

"I am not what I don't have. I just am."

Lin Chenhua was left speechless by his nephew's sudden questioning.

"you have not?"

"Have you been here?"

Lin Chenhua was silent.

"Do you think you are filial?"

"Do you think you still look like a man now?"

When a nephew teaches his uncle, it is the opposite of what Tiangang does.

"I"

"If you still have the guts, would you let me train you like this?"

Xu Qingshan continued to provoke Lin Chenhua.

"You dare to borrow money from Liu Hai and the others?"

"You believe everything outsiders say, but you don't listen at all at home."

"You're just being stubborn and waiting for something to happen before asking someone to clean up your mess. Do you think this is fun?"

Lin Chenhua sat on the ground with his head down.

But he clenched his teeth and veins popped out on his head.

"Angry?"

"And what can you do?"

"Impotent rage?"

Xu Qingshan stared at Lin Chenhua. Although he knew his uncle's temper and would never harm his relatives, especially his nephew, he still had to be on guard.

After all, he was going to reveal something shocking. "What are you waiting for?"

"When I couldn't pay back the money, people came to my house to collect the debt and humiliated me. They chased me and my nephew and dragged other family members into the quagmire as well."

"and then?"

"Like now? Nothing can be done."

"In a rage, you got angry for a moment?"

Xu Qingshan sneered when he said this.

Those words accumulated in Lin Chenhua's heart, and this laughter gave him the most fatal blow.

"not like this."

Lin Chenhua said gritting his teeth.

"Keep your head down and everything you say is wrong."

Xu Qingshan said lightly.

"I said, it's not what you said, I won't let this happen!"

Lin Chenhua raised his head and stared with his eyes full of bloodshot, his eyeballs were slightly deformed.

He was breathing heavily like an angry bull.

"What can you do to protect your family?"

"Take your current trashy appearance? Take your garbage house?"

Xu Qingshan remained unmoved. He stood up and looked down at Lin Chenhua with contempt.

His indifference and Lin Chenhua's angry impulsiveness were so vivid that it made it hard to breathe.

"I take my life, my fists."

Lin Chenhua stood up and growled.

"How much is your life worth?"

"How many people can you hit with your fist?"

"Uncle, you are not a child of seventeen or eighteen anymore. You are an adult. You are already in your thirties."

"The punch you threw landed you in jail for ten years."

“How many decades do you think you have left?”

"When you are in prison and someone bullies your family, what can you do?"

"Will you wait until you are old and come out to cry at our grave?"

"hehe."

“We are now a society ruled by law.”

"Killing doesn't rely on fists, but on brains."

"But brain, do you think you have it now?"

Every word Xu Qingshan wrote spoke with heart.

"The girl you stood up for back then has given birth to three sons for your so-called brother. What about you?"

"Nothing accomplished, nothing owned, nothing left."

Xu Qingshan's words were vicious.

The way he scolded his uncle was like he was playing with a toy.

"If you can't pay back the money, those people will come to me and my grandmother to ask for it. My grandmother is in poor health and might die suddenly if she is frightened by those people. I am in the third year of high school and those people only need to break one of my hands, and I won't be able to take the college entrance examination. What about your sister? She might lose her job, or she might not be able to accept this and divorce your brother-in-law. Then what?"

Xu Qingshan seemed to be talking to himself as he elaborated on something that seemed to have nothing to do with him.

"Is this what you want?"

Xu Qingshan was clearly standing there without moving, and was just speaking lightly from beginning to end.

But Lin Chenhua felt as if someone had strangled him by the throat. He couldn't utter a word and was almost suffocating mentally.

His face was very ugly, as if he was thinking about what Xu Qingshan said. The more he thought about it, the more he gritted his teeth, because those people were really capable of doing those things.

Suddenly, Xu Qingshan's momentum subsided.

Xu Qingshan looked at his uncle's changing expression and knew that the adrenaline injection today was strong enough.

His voice became softer and he reached out to straighten Lin Chenhua's collar.

"You already have the answer, don't you?"

"Call me when you've made up your mind."

Xu Qingshan stuffed a business card of his into Lin Chenhua's pocket.

He got up and walked out of the house.

"uncle."

Before closing the door, Xu Qingshan turned his back to Lin Chenhua and said with his head tilted.

"My mother and uncle are my most important relatives, aside from my parents and grandmother, you are my most important relative."

"Be a man and don't make me unwilling to call you again in the future."

"Let's go, take care of yourself."

Xu Qingshan left without any reluctance.

Only Lin Chenhua was left standing alone in the dark hut where no one knew that angry whispers had erupted just now.

Lin Chenhua stood there for a long time.

On the paint bucket where Xu Qingshan had just sat, there were more than two hundred yuan in coins and dices.

Those coins and some change seemed to be mocking Lin Chenhua's incompetence.

Xu Qingshan stopped at the corner of the stairs, looked back at the corridor of the dilapidated cottage, and muttered to himself.

"Uncle, please don't let me down."

He suddenly looked at the porch, smiled, shook his head, went down the stairs and left the alley.
