Chapter 216 The countdown begins



Last time, Yao Wei and his men compensated me 10,000 yuan. I spent 2,000 on Ye Zhan's medical treatment, leaving 8,000 yuan. I spent 200 on bribing the lottery shop owner, leaving 7,800 yuan. I kept 300 yuan for emergencies, and deposited the remaining 7,500 yuan into my mother's account.

After I accompanied my mother to the bank to withdraw the huge sum of money, on the way back, my mother said again: "Haohao, we can't spend so much money for the New Year. 2,000 is enough. We should save the rest of the money in case something happens. What do you think?"

"Okay." I could only agree. There was no way I could change my mother's mind in a short time.

So I accompanied my mother back to the bank, deposited 5,500 yuan, and took the remaining 2,000 yuan to the farmer's market. My mother put the money in her underwear pocket, and with me by her side to protect her, she should not be targeted by thieves again. With my encouragement, my mother finally let go of her spending. She bought butter-flavored melon seeds, spiced peanuts, and White Rabbit candies... Anyway, she bought whatever tasted good. My mother had never spent money so happily before, and she was smiling all the way, as if the money had fallen from the sky.

Finally, we carried a lot of things home in large and small bags. They were so heavy that we could hardly carry them. We were tired but happy. I remember that this was the first time for our family to buy such a rich New Year's goods, and it was also the first time for me to see my mother smile so happily.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and my father called to say that he will be home tomorrow. I agreed with my mother not to tell him about the lottery win for now, and to give him a big surprise when he comes back. My mother has no days off at work, so I still clean the house from 7 am to 5 pm every day. This afternoon, I carried a broom and swept the street as usual. Thinking that my father would be home tomorrow, I worked especially hard while sweeping the street, thinking that I must have a couple of drinks with my father tomorrow.

I was sweeping the garbage when I suddenly saw three teenagers coming from a distance. They looked very familiar. I looked carefully and found that they were my junior high school classmates, Sun Dafei, Zhang Weining and Jiang Zirui. These three people came from well-off families and had bullied me with Zou Yang before. But why did they come to our slum? I heard that after graduating from junior high school, they didn't get into any high school and didn't want to go to vocational college, so they simply stopped studying and wandered around Dongguan all day. Although I was not afraid of them, I didn't want to have anything to do with them, so I hid in the alley next to them and waited for them to pass before coming out to sweep the street.

As their voices got closer, the figures of three people gradually passed by the alley. I saw that Sun Dafei was holding a black plastic bag in his hand, which seemed to be heavy with something.

I just heard Sun Dafei say, "Wang Hao should go home, right?" My heart skipped a beat. Could it be that they were here to look for me?

Zhang Weining said: "It's almost Chinese New Year, he must be at home. That poor guy has no friends, it's impossible for him to go out and play."

"Haha, that loser." Jiang Zirui said, "I heard that he got expelled from City High School for fighting with someone, and transferred to North Seven! Who can he beat with his loser look? He really can't get by anywhere. Lu Xiang is from North Seven, and I asked him if Wang Hao also got beaten up every day in North Seven, but he didn't mention Wang Hao at all. No matter how I asked, he refused to say anything. I don't know what's wrong with him."

I sneered in my heart. Of course Lu Xiang would not talk about me. If he talked about me, he would inevitably talk about himself. Who would want to tell others about the scandal of being beaten? In this case, it was natural for Lu Xiang to keep silent about me. Besides, I was thankful that he did not make up embarrassing stories about me. It seemed that the lesson he learned from the chalk was very profound.

"Lu Xiang is also a jerk who deserves a beating. He might be beaten together with Wang Hao in Beiqi. Of course he doesn't want to say more." Sun Dafei said with a smile: "Let's scatter this bag of stuff in front of Wang Hao's house today, and then ask Brother Yang for credit. Brother Yang hates Wang Hao the most, and he will be very happy to know that we did this."

The "Brother Yang" they were talking about was naturally Zou Yang. Thinking of Zou Yang, I couldn't help but clench my fists again. But Sun Dafei said he would sprinkle that bag of stuff at my doorstep, what was that? I remembered that there were always all kinds of messy things inexplicably appearing at the doorstep of my house, sometimes it was a pile of garbage, sometimes it was a pile of coal ash, and once it was a pile of broken glass, which almost stabbed my mother's feet. My family always thought it was done by the urchins in the neighborhood, and they didn't care. They always cleaned it up with a broom. It turns out that it was them who did it all along? !

Damn, these boring bastards! I was so angry that my teeth itched, and I followed them without saying a word.

"Yeah, yeah." Zhang Weining said, "Brother Yang is studying in City High School now. He really envies us. That idiot Wang Hao was able to get into City High School. Fortunately, God saw through and expelled him. But I guess Brother Yang must have bullied Wang Hao a lot in City High School. That's one of his hobbies in life. He can't sleep at night if he doesn't bully Wang Hao for a day, haha..."

"But it's strange." Sun Dafei said, "After Brother Yang came back this time, he didn't play with us much."

"Yes." Jiang Zirui said, "I went to play with him several times, but he always closed the door to me. I wonder what's going on?"

"Maybe he's in a bad mood." Zhang Weining said, "Maybe Brother Yang likes a girl, but she didn't follow him!"

The three of them burst into laughter and turned into the alley leading to my house at the same time.

Sun Dafei said again: "Our class is having a party after the New Year. I wonder if the class monitor will notify Wang Hao?"

Zhang Weining said, "It would be better to notify him. Then we can bully him openly again. Brother Yang will definitely be very happy."
