Chapter 78 Don’t let me not want to call you
Early winter, the shanty town of Longjiang Old Town.
Colorful and dusty clothes were hanging wet outside the window, and messy electrical wires were damaged and hung diagonally from the walls and ceilings of the alleys.
The iron roofs and shacks built haphazardly in shanty towns squeeze the space of this small old house.
Not to mention cars, even if two electric cars met in an alley, they would have to carefully pull over and rub against the wall, and some gravel and dust would be rubbed off.
Xu Qingshan stood at the entrance of the alley and looked in.
Sewage spreads around the sewer outlet and forms a ditch. The cement walls on both sides were spray-painted with various advertisements for making fake certificates and helping delinquent women get re-employed.
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 his destination building. He climbed up to the third floor of the dilapidated self-built house on a steep ladder that could only accommodate half of his feet.
There are many residents here, and some doors are open. A young but swarthy woman is washing vegetables with her child. When she sees the clean Xu Qingshan, she looks away.
312.
The door was very old, and there were still some marks on the advertisement posted on it. It looked like it had been kicked.
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 child here?"
"who?"
"What's up?"
The voice was dull and lifeless, like a depressed and useless middle-aged man.
Xu Qingshan did not answer.
"Ey"
The dilapidated door opened, and a man with a foul smell standing all over his body. His hair was long and disheveled around his ears. He looked like a beggar.
"Who are you."
"Go in and talk."
Xu Qingshan didn't care that the place was dirty. He pushed Lin Chenhua and walked into the room, frowning.
The house was about ten square meters, but it was filled with rubbish and half-dismantled goods. Some of the clothes seemed to have been splashed with something, and were already turning yellow and moldy.
This is completely unlike a place where people can live.
There was no decent bed here, just bedding on the floor and a half-eaten lunch on the upside-down paint bucket.
"Who are you?"
Lin Chenhua also frowned and thought. He just felt that the young man in front of him was very kind. He was kind-hearted and not violent, but he was single-minded 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, opened the window for ventilation, and briefly cleaned up the garbage in the room before making a place for himself to sit.
Only then did Lin Chenhua remember 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 a straight face.
He closed the door first.
"Brother, why are you here?"
Elders in southern Fujian like to call their juniors Adi and Amei. This applies to children aged one or two to those in their thirties and forties, as long as they are young.
"If I don't come, have you forgotten that you have a mother?"
Xu Qingshan's words were not polite.
This uncle has a good heart, but he does do stupid things in more than one way.
Because after he was released from prison, he had no one to care about him and no one taught him. He was only seventeen years old when he entered the prison, and now he still has the mind of a seventeen-year-old when he comes out.
"I'm not I didn't. I just."
Lin Chenhua was rendered speechless by his nephew's sudden questioning.
"You didn't?"
"Then have you been here?"
Lin Chenhua was silent.
"Do you think you are filial?"
"Do you think you still look like a man now?"
The nephew trains the uncle, but turns against Tiangang.
"I"
"If you still have the courage, can you let me train you like this?"
Xu Qingshan continued to stimulate Lin Chenhua.
"You dare to borrow Liu Hai's money?"
"You believe outsiders' farts, but your family doesn't listen at all."
"Just wait until something goes wrong before asking someone to wipe your ass. Do you think this is fun?"
Lin Chenhua sat on the ground with his head lowered.
But he clenched his teeth and veins burst out on his head.
"Angry?"
"Then what can you do?"
"Incompetent rage?"
Xu Qingshan stared at Lin Chenhua. Although he understood that this uncle would not do anything to his relatives, especially his nephew, no matter what his temper, he had to be on guard.
After all, he was about to drop something big. "What on earth are you waiting for?"
"When the money was not paid, someone came to collect the debt and was humiliated. They were chased in front of my mother and nephew, and other family members were dragged into the quagmire."
"Then what?"
"Like now? Nothing can be done."
"In a fit of anger, for a moment?"
When Xu Qingshan said this, he sneered.
Those words accumulated in Lin Chenhua's heart, and this laughter gave him the most fatal blow.
"That's not the case."
Lin Chenhua said through gritted teeth.
"Keep your head down and whatever 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. His eyes were bloodshot and his eyeballs were slightly deformed.
He was panting like an angry bull.
"What are you doing to protect your family?"
"What about the trash you look like now? The trash in your house?"
Xu Qingshan was unmoved and stood up, looking down on Lin Chenhua with contempt.
His indifference and Lin Chenhua's angry impulse were so vivid that it was 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 no longer a child of seventeen or eighteen years old, you are an adult. You are already in your thirties this year."
"The fist you threw put you in jail for ten years."
"How many more decades do you think you have left?"
"When you are in prison and others bully your family, what can you do?"
"Are you going to come out and mourn our graves when you are seventy or eighty years old?"
"hehe."
"Now is a society governed by the rule of law."
"Killing is not done with fists, but with brains."
"But brain, do you think you have it now?"
Xu Qingshan saw blood in every word.
"The girl you stood up for gave birth to three sons to your so-called brother. What about you?"
"Achieve nothing, have nothing, be destitute."
Xu Qingshan’s words were vicious.
He was training his uncle as if he were playing with a toy.
"If you still don't pay, those people are asking me and my grandma to ask for help. Grandma is not in good health and may suddenly leave if frightened by those people. I am in the third year of high school. Those people only need to break one of my hands, and I will participate. Can't pass the college entrance examination. What about your sister? She might lose her job, or she might not be able to accept this and divorce her brother-in-law. What next?
Xu Qingshan seemed to be talking to himself, explaining something that seemed to have nothing to do with him.
"Is this what you want?"
Xu Qingshan clearly stood still and just spoke in an understatement from beginning to end.
But Lin Chenhua seemed to have his throat choked, unable to speak a word, and almost suffocated 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 could really do those things.
Suddenly, Xu Qingshan's momentum subsided.
Xu Qingshan looked at his uncle's expression changing and knew that today's adrenaline shot was strong enough.
His voice was softer and he stretched out his hand to straighten Lin Chenhua's collar.
"You already have the answer, don't you?"
"Think about it, call me."
Xu Qingshan stuffed his business card into Lin Chenhua's pocket.
Get up and walk outside the house.
"uncle."
Before closing the door, Xu Qingshan turned his back to Lin Chenhua, turned his head and said.
"My mother-in-law, aside from my parents and grandma, you are my most important relative."
"Be a man and don't make me reluctant to call you again in the future."
"Let's go, take care of yourself."
Xu Qingshan left without any nostalgia.
Lin Chenhua was left standing alone in the dark cabin where no one knew that angry whispers were erupting just now.
Lin Chenhua stood there blankly for a long time.
On the paint bucket where Xu Qingshan sat just now, there were more than 200 yuan in pieces.
Those few coins and change seemed to be mocking Lin Chenhua's incompetence.
Xu Qingshan stopped at the corner of the stairs, looked back at the dilapidated corridor of the hut, and murmured to himself.
"Uncle, don't let me down."
He suddenly looked at the porch, smiled, shook his head, walked down the stairs, and left the alley.
