Chapter 243 Mr. Xu from Hong Kong City

Xu Hexiao successfully received the call and dialed the number of Xu Boxi's instructor. There were four instructors in the special training camp, and the one he called was the chief instructor of the special training camp, whose surname was Zhang.

"Bo Xi, Zhong Hui, Shu Zhe and Ji Ming met four robbers on the road. They beat them up and have now sent them to the police station. The police don't believe that the four of Bo Xi can defeat four tall adult men." Xu Hexiao recounted the incident briefly.

"Please let Bo Xi answer the phone. I want to know more details." Instructor Zhang said.

"Okay, I'll call her over right away." Xu Hexiao handed the microphone to Xu Boxi.

The soundproofing of the phone is not very good, and people around can clearly hear the voice of the person on the other end of the phone.

Xu Boxi answered the phone and shouted "Instructor" without any expression.

"Your dad said that you and your brother defeated four robbers. You did a good job!" Instructor Zhang praised. From his tone, one could tell that he was in a good mood. "Tell me how you fought back then."

"We were turning a corner and the other side rushed out from the corner, but their speed was not fast enough. Before they reached me, I was ready for defense and attack. They wanted to snatch my bag, so I leaned down and passed under their armpits and tripped one of them. At this time, my three younger brothers also rushed over. We each fought one, and the other side fought without any rules, skills, or strength. It took us just over two minutes to end the fight." Xu Boxi said lightly.

"Well done." Instructor Zhang praised.

The policeman on the side: “........”

Finally, the microphone fell into the hands of the police officer who was taking the statement.

Lin Qi and the others were not able to hear what the police and the instructor said, and were invited to another room. When the call ended, the police officer who answered the phone looked at Xu Boxi with a complicated expression, with shock, curiosity, and a hint of admiration.

The record was completed quickly.

When the police escorted Lin Qi and the other two out of the police station, they looked at each other with envy, "Your children are all very outstanding."

That's a special training camp. Even a big family may not be able to get in with just one child. But they, as a couple, have four children in there. And judging by the instructor's tone, all four children are very outstanding. It's incredible!

Lin Qi couldn't hear what the police officer was thinking. If she had heard it, she would probably have told him that, in fact, there were not four children in their family who entered the special training camp, but seven.

When Lin Qi and the other two returned home, the children surrounded them.

"After the record is completed, there is nothing for us to do. As for the sentence and the number of years, Dad doesn't know much about the law, so he doesn't know." Xu Hexiao said, looking at the children, "Have you studied the law?"

The big one nodded and the small one shook his head.

“We are beginning to learn about the law, but we haven’t learned this yet.”

"Dad, shouldn't you buy some books on law? You also need to understand the law when doing business, otherwise you may break the law without knowing it." Xu Hexiao planned to invite Lao Yi and others to come over to celebrate the New Year in a few days, and asked them to recommend some books on law.

"Dad, will our store be open tomorrow?" asked the seventh child.

"Of course we have to open one. Business is so good, it would be a waste if we don't." Zhao Shu is now very enthusiastic about opening a store. "Those four people probably saw that our business was so good and knew that we made a lot of money, so they wanted to get rich."

"I guess that's the reason." Xu Hexiao said, "I'll go and accompany you tomorrow."

"No, we can handle it." Xu Boxi refused. "Besides, we just arrested four people today. No one should dare to come here in a short time. The police uncle also said that they will patrol the area around the store tomorrow."

After that, Xu Boxi and his team never encountered robbery again.

Soon it was the Little New Year, and the snow was falling even harder, so Lin Qi decided to close the store. Zhao Shu and the children were reluctant to leave, and thought they could open it for two more days.

"You can't make enough money, so you should take a rest when you need one," Lin Qi advised.

"Your mother is right. You can never make enough money. Although money is important, there are more important things than money, such as a happy Chinese New Year for our family. Starting tomorrow, we should start preparing for the Chinese New Year." Xu Hexiao rubbed the children's heads. "Tomorrow our family will go shopping in the department store, and we should also prepare our New Year's goods."

"Don't we have everything at home? What else do we need?" asked the second son Xu Zhonghui. He remembered that in previous years, their family did not prepare any New Year's goods.

"This year is different. The policy is more relaxed. We can buy couplets, red paper for window decorations, firecrackers and fireworks. Don't you want to set off fireworks?"

"think!"

"Okay, we'll go buy it tomorrow."

In Gangcheng, after discussion, the Yuan family decided not to go to Europe and settle down in Gangcheng.

"Since we are selling the house, it doesn't matter who we sell it to, why can't we sell it to us?" Mrs. Yuan was puzzled. They looked at several houses and finally chose a small villa on the hillside. The people living there were either high-ranking officials or wealthy businessmen. It was very safe. If they could live there, it would be great.

"The Si family has put forward a condition: whoever can cure their old man will get the house for free. I went to the second trial today, and she told me that the old man of the Si family has a strange disease and can't eat. He has been relying on nutritional injections for a year. The doctor said that if he can't eat anymore, he may not live long." Mr. Yuan sighed, "The old man of the Si family has only one daughter. His daughter didn't want him to die, so she made such a request."

Mrs. Yuan fell into deep thought, "What kind of disease would make a person unable to eat?"

Mr. Yuan shook his head. "I don't know either. I asked my second aunt to introduce me to the current head of the Si family. I don't know if he is willing to meet me. I told my second aunt that I could give him a ginseng that is several decades old. He should not refuse it for the sake of ginseng."

"Isn't the current head of the Si family surnamed Xu? You said he is a son-in-law, so he probably doesn't want the old man of the Si family to continue living. Does he want our ginseng?"

"It's true that the Xu family master married into the family, but Old Master Si saved his life. It's said that he and Old Master Si are like father and son, and their relationship is deep."

"Isn't it just an act of affection?" Having heard too many stories about the farmer and the snake, it's no wonder she was suspicious.

"Not really?" Mr. Yuan was not so sure.

They waited anxiously for two days, and in the evening of the second day, Second Aunt told them that Mr. Xu was willing to meet them.

"Second Aunt, how is the relationship between Mr. Xu and Old Master Si?" Mr. Yuan asked.

When the old lady heard Mr. Yuan's question, she pushed her reading glasses and a hint of contemplation flashed in her wise eyes. "There is probably 60% true love. After all, it is a life-saving grace. However, no matter how great the life-saving grace is, it cannot withstand the consumption of these years. Now that she is still willing to treat Old Master Si, it is also relying on the grace of salvation to maintain. Once Old Master Si dies, I am afraid that the Si family will change!"

"Why? Does Mr. Xu have a bad relationship with the daughter of the Si family?" Mr. Yuan was curious.

"It's a long story." The old lady took a sip of tea and then said slowly, "Mr. Xu is from the mainland. He was born in a big family and brought a box of gold. He has a good family background, is good-looking, and is not short of money. Logically, such a person would not marry into the wife's family. He also told Mr. Si that he is already married, has a wife and children, and will not marry into the wife's family. But the young lady of the Si family fell in love with him and would not marry anyone else."

The old lady paused and took another sip of tea. "Mr. Xu's wife had died in the sea. Mr. Xu was only in his twenties at the time, so he was definitely going to remarry. He didn't want to marry into the family, so the old man of the Si family said that he shouldn't marry into the family, and that the first child of him and Miss Si could just have the surname Si."

"If that's the case, then why are rumors out there that Mr. Xu is marrying into the Si family?" Mr. Yuan was puzzled.

"Because the rumors outside were spread by the Si family." The old lady sighed, "Miss Si has the same problem as her mother, cold uterus, and it is very difficult for her to have children. She married Mr. Xu for three years before giving birth to the current Miss Si, and she never had any children after that. Mr. Xu naturally refused, he wanted to divorce, or like others, marry a second or third wife. But Miss Si refused and tried to commit suicide. For the sake of his daughter, Old Master Si used the grace of saving his life to pressure Mr. Xu, not allowing him to marry a second wife, nor allowing him to keep a mistress outside."

"Is Mr. Xu willing?" Mr. Yuan is a man himself, and he knows how strongly a man wants to have a child.

"Mr. Xu refused, especially when an acquaintance from the mainland came with news from his hometown. He learned that his family had been labeled as the "five black categories", the family had fallen apart, countless people had been killed and injured, and his only son was with his elderly grandfather, with no idea whether he was alive or dead. So Mr. Xu kept a mistress outside. The mistress had been pregnant for less than two months when she miscarried, resulting in two deaths."

"Did the Si family do this?"

"Who knows. At that time, Mr. Xu was also developing his own business outside, but he was still immature and could not compare with the Si family. Even if it was done by the Si family, what could he do?"

"Mr. Xu, are you just going to let this go?"

"He later kept another one, but that mistress was arranged by Miss Si and was naturally infertile. By the time Mr. Xu found out about this, he was already in his forties. He changed two more mistresses, but no woman ever got pregnant with his child. He dismissed those mistresses a few years ago and began to cultivate his character. It seems that he no longer obsessed with having children."

"He can let Miss Si have more children, and let one of them take her surname Xu."

"Miss Si looks too much like her mother. She has a hot temper and used to cause trouble with her father's lover. Mr. Xu doesn't like this daughter very much. As for her children, she does have children now, a boy and a girl, but both have the surname Si. Old Master Si once suggested that the girl be named Xu, but Mr. Xu refused."

"Why refuse? Mr. Xu can wait until this granddaughter grows up and let her find a husband."

The old lady shook her head, "Who knows?"

That night, Mr. Yuan and Mrs. Yuan went to Mr. Xu's house. Mr. Xu had moved out of the Si family's old house a few years ago and now lived alone.

Mr. Xu is fifty-five years old this year. He is well maintained and looks no more than forty years old. He is a handsome and elegant man.

The moment he saw Mr. Xu, Mr. Yuan probably knew why Miss Si insisted on marrying Mr. Xu.

But why does this Mr. Xu look a bit like Mr. Xu Hexiao in the capital?
