Chapter 531 It's actually a brother-obsessed demon! (Seeking monthly votes)
Student days are relatively innocent.

Anyone who excels in academics or sports will naturally attract a group of classmates, most of whom share the same interests.

Of course, some also seek asylum.

Wu Aiguo was surrounded by a group of classmates at school.

Although they didn't form cliques, none of the school's troublemakers dared to provoke them.

And so it is; his information is by no means unrestricted.

Wu Aiguo usually finds out about anything that happens at school almost immediately. It just depends on whether he's willing to get involved.

He had heard that the brothers Wu Aidang and Wu Aijun were targeted by Niu Er and his gang of troublemakers in junior high school.

News from outside the school, especially so-called "street gossip," is actually very popular among students.

Especially in the surrounding streets and alleys, the powerful figures and their "great achievements" were being talked about like wildfire among certain student groups.

It was at this time that Wu Aiguo heard the name of Zhang Xiaobao, the younger brother of his stepmother Zhang Li.

This guy is clearly a spoiled hoodlum from the bottom of society, with a lot of bad habits.

The original owner only overheard it and didn't really care.

After all, regardless of whether Zhang Xiaobao was proficient in eating, drinking, gambling, or dealing with genuine underworld figures who maintained order in the pigeon market and the black market, there was practically no overlap between him and the people in question.

Based on Zhang Li's attitude, Wu Aiguo would never acknowledge such a relative.

Wu Aiguo, who had traveled through time, was even more familiar with this kind of guy.

In his previous life, he had spent a considerable amount of time dealing with Hong Kong triads.

I know all too well what kind of person Zhang Xiaobao is.

In fact, powerful underworld figures often prefer this kind of underling.

He has absolutely no skills, but his family happens to have some wealth.

Zhang Xiaobao would never be involved in real matters of the martial arts world.

Normally, you can treat him like a silly monkey and make him laugh, and maybe even earn some pocket money from him.

In addition, when the brothers get together, they always have to eat and drink, and that's when Zhang Xiaobao's advantages become apparent.

As long as someone is willing to say a few nice words and put this guy on a good pedestal, Zhang Xiaobao will basically cover the cost of his meal and drinks afterwards.

Moreover, Zhang Xiaobao can handle even minor, unimportant matters.

If it can be easily resolved, then everyone will be happy.

But if Zhang Xiaobao isn't capable enough and causes trouble, being arrested and taken to the police station isn't a big deal.

As long as the family is willing to spend money to settle things, it's still quite easy to get out.

Indeed, Wu Aiguo was quite certain at this point that his stepmother, Zhang Li, had taken money from the family and used it to clean up a lot of messes for her younger brother.

"Unlikely?"

Wu Zhi was skeptical and asked doubtfully, "That's several thousand yuan, and it's all just spent on Xiao Bao?"

"Father, do you think settling this matter is simple?"

Wu Aiguo chuckled and said, "We need to take care of everyone, from top to bottom. Just the extra expenses for cigarettes and alcohol alone are no small sum!"

"We don't have many cigarette and alcohol coupons at home, so we can only buy them from the pigeon market at a high price. Isn't that spending money?"

"Of course, they're spending our family's money, so they certainly won't feel bad about it!"

Wu Zhi's face darkened upon hearing this, and even his breathing became heavier.

Not to mention him, even the brothers Wu Aidang and Wu Aijun, who were watching from the sidelines, didn't look too happy at that moment. They were both junior high school students now, so they weren't stupid.

If Mom uses the family's money to settle disputes for my uncle outside, won't the family's money be less?

Won't the two brothers get less in the future?

No wonder my older brother asked them earlier if they had an endless amount of pocket money; they probably wish they could have such a good life.

Seeing that his father still didn't quite believe him, Wu Aiguo asked directly, "Dad, have you heard that Aunt Zhang's family has found a job for Zhang Xiaobao?"

"I've never heard of that before!"

Wu Zhi shook his head subconsciously, but then suddenly realized what he had done.

Since the brother-in-law doesn't need a lot of money to buy a job, where did all the money in the family go?
He didn't believe that all the money was spent on his wife's family.

Given the Yue family's penchant for boasting, if there were any major changes in their family's situation, they would have already told all their relatives and friends about it.

That's over three thousand yuan, possibly more than four thousand yuan—a huge sum.

In this day and age, it's really not easy for a family of ten to live comfortably for five, six, seven, or eight years.

Thinking of this, Wu Zhi almost ground his teeth to powder.

Damn it, if the money at home were spent on legitimate things, although I would still be unhappy, I could still accept it no matter what.

But if most of the money is spent on Zhang Xiaobao, especially if it's used to settle disputes or for his brother-in-law's food and drink, then he absolutely cannot accept it.

The family lived a very simple life. None of the three sons and one daughter enjoyed any of the luxuries. If word got out, they would be too ashamed to show their faces.

The atmosphere in the room became dull and uncomfortable.

Wu Aiguo saw it all clearly. Despite his father Wu Zhi's indignant demeanor, he genuinely loved his stepmother.

Otherwise, there's no way they would simply hand over the power of housekeeping.

To outsiders, he was practically the same as a son-in-law who married into his wife's family.

He's very proactive about his father-in-law's affairs, but seems rather clueless and naive when it comes to his own.

Clearly, drastic measures are needed!
Even if we don't ruin their relationship, we should at least make the father come to his senses. From now on, he must keep a firm grip on most of the family's money, which is his salary anyway.

Wu Aiguo was also worried that if his stepmother Zhang Li continued like this, she would eventually drag his father, two younger brothers, and one younger sister into the fire.

When that time comes, Grandpa and Grandma definitely won't stand idly by!

Wu Aiguo is repaying the original owner's karma, and it's impossible for him to stay out of it.

In fact, his understanding of this era can only be described as the tip of the iceberg.

I don't fully understand the specific operating rules of this era.

If one's own strength is insufficient, and one wants to live well and comfortably, and continue the regrets left unfulfilled in the previous life, one can only act in accordance with the rules.

Before this, it's not a big deal to reveal a little bit of your skills, as you can usually find the source.

But if too much is exposed, it might not be a good thing.

The environment you lived in in your past life, as well as the people and events you encountered, are very different from the present era.

If you blindly follow your past experiences, the chances of things going wrong are definitely not small.

But he has no intention or desire to abandon all cause and effect and go to Hong Kong Island to cause trouble again.

Trying to do things under the rules set by the British may seem easy and glamorous, but in reality, there are definitely a lot of troubles involved.

If you really want to make a fuss, there are so many places in this day and age where you can do it openly and honestly. Why stay in Hong Kong and be a so-called tycoon?
