Du Chen made a promise to Teacher Wu with a bitter face that he would write a heartfelt and thought-provoking review. The teachers around him smiled speechlessly when they saw Du Chen's behavior.
When I got home, my brother Du Bin was already doing his homework in the cabin. When he heard his parents and brother coming back, Du Bin came out and asked, "Mom and Dad, where have you been? Didn't you cook? I'm a little hungry."
"Son, wait a minute, I'll do it right away. It will be ready in a moment." After saying that, Du Chen's mother hurriedly washed her hands and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
"Du Chen, come here, I want to talk to you!" Dad said to Du Chen who was about to slip away to the cabin.
Seeing this, Du Bin was quite curious about what his usually obedient brother had done and why his father was so serious. He was also hungry and had no intention of studying, so he just watched the fun to relax.
"Okay, Dad, what do you want to talk about?" Du Chen pretended to know nothing.
"Stop pretending! Just tell me why you fought today? Couldn't you just hide away and then tell the teacher and call your parents? Aren't you usually very smart?" Du Chen's father was a little angry. He was not angry about the fight, but about getting into a conflict with someone who was so many in number and what to do if he got beaten up.
"What? Brother, did you fight with someone? Are you hurt? Who was it? I'll take you to beat him up tomorrow!" Du Bin was also angry. Since Du Chen was a child, Du Bin always stood up for him when he was bullied.
"It's none of your business, Du Bin. And your brother is fine. He just beat someone else up today." Dad was very happy to see Du Bin defending his brother, so he told Du Bin the whole story of the fight from beginning to end.
Du Bin was a little bit unbelievable. One against four, and they were seniors, and he won! Is this still the little brother who came to him crying when he was bullied as a child?
"Come on, Du Chen, explain my question first. I almost forgot when your brother interrupted me."
"Dad, telling the teacher and my parents is only useful temporarily. He will cause trouble to me every other day. So I'm going to put an end to it once and for all today. I'm going to let him know how to be afraid, and also let his parents know about the trouble. Then they won't dare to cause trouble to me in the future." Du Chen confessed honestly.
"Then what did you do when you went out with the police? Don't think I didn't see it." Du Chen's father continued to ask.
"Nothing. I was just going to give them a hundred bucks, but they refused. If you had time that day, buy them two packs of cigarettes. They've been really supportive of me today, so we should show some appreciation."
"Okay, don't worry about it. I'll take care of it after I'm done." Du Chen's father said.
"Brother, if the police don't want it, there's no need for you to give it to them, right?" Du Bin asked a little confused.
"Brother, we're planning to open a stationery store near the school. If it's successful, people from all walks of life will come. We're also preparing for a rainy day. Favors are always close, and we can always ask for help in the future." Du Chen explained to his brother Du Bin, breaking down the details. Brothers fight together, and fathers and sons fight together. He's instilling some principles in Du Bin now to help him grow faster. This will make things easier and less detourable. This is also the experience Du Chen gained from the losses he suffered when he opened a store in his previous life. Du Chen can be considered to be training Du Bin in advance.
"Besides, it wouldn't be easy for us to get the money without their help. Even if we don't talk about whether we will need the money in the future, we should still repay their kindness. If the police hadn't been on my side today, I might have suffered if I had met a parent like Hao Bing." Du Chen continued to say to Du Bin.
"Your brother is right. You have to study and understand the ways of the world. Only in this way can you gain a better foothold in the society in the future." Dad also took this opportunity to educate him.
Du Bin thought about it and nodded in agreement.
"The meal is ready, come over with your bowls and get ready to eat!" Du Chen's mother shouted from the kitchen.
"Oh, here they come!" The father and his two sons answered at the same time.
After the fight, Du Chen became famous in the younger grades. First, he earned money writing essays, and second, he single-handedly challenged a group of four seniors and beat them all up. There were quite a few onlookers that day, and word spread that many students would avoid Du Chen, fearing a beating!
"Old Du, is there anything to do at your company tomorrow, Saturday?" Du Chen's mother suddenly asked on Friday night.
"It's okay. Aren't we planning to go to the city to check out the small commodities tomorrow?" Du Chen's father asked back.
"You still remember, I thought you forgot."
"No, I've been thinking about it too. I think what Lao Er said is right. The position is also good. I also think that if I work hard, I can make money."
"Well, so we'll go check out the source of goods tomorrow. Old Du, what do you think of our second child? I don't think he's a child." Du Chen's mother thought for a long time before speaking slowly.
"Yeah, I've noticed it a long time ago. The second child has always been scheming since he was young. Even though he doesn't say anything, he always thinks about everything in his mind."
"Do you think this is okay? I'm a little worried."
"What are you worried about? There's no need. I think everything is fine. Didn't you see me stopping you from speaking during the fight the day before yesterday? I just wanted to see how the second child would handle the matter. It was unexpected that a little kid could control the other adult so well." Du Chen's father sighed.
"That's right. I was worried in the office that day. I didn't expect that the second son was so good at talking. Look how angry he made Hao Bing's mother." Du Chen's mother said with a smile when talking about this.
"You didn't see that the second son was taking advantage of the police's support and demanding compensation from others. I really didn't expect him to call the police. Most children would not have such an idea, and even if they did, they would not dare to act on it!" Men are sometimes quite careful. Du Chen's mother was so worried that day that she didn't pay attention to anything else.
