Chapter 1270 - 1120: Agreement
Chapter 1270: Chapter 1120: Agreement
As soon as their leader spoke, the other three little delinquents had exaggerated expressions and almost simultaneously began wailing like ghosts. One of them said dismally, "Boss, are you sure you’re not joking with us brothers?"
"Yeah, yeah, Boss! Can’t we not joke around?!"
The one speaking was a little delinquent with a baby face.
"I’m not joking with you!"
Huzi straightened his face, "Aren’t you worried about being caught by the police one day and then sent off to who knows where for forced labor? Besides, among the four of us,
I’m the oldest, and I’m just sixteen, while you three seem to be a year younger. I feel... I feel it’s better for us to go back to school and continue studying."
"I agree with what the boss said."
It was a tall and skinny delinquent who spoke, though he was a year younger than Huzi, he was about the same height as Huzi.
"Junzi! You’re just stirring things up!"
The baby-faced delinquent looked at the skinny tall delinquent named Junzi with resentment.
At this moment, the earlier dismal delinquent said, "Boss, our reputation isn’t great to begin with, and in the past month, we’ve been skipping classes and messing around outside. If we go back now, will the school even accept us?"
"We’ll proactively admit our mistakes and sincerely write an apology letter. If that doesn’t work, we’ll bring in our parents to speak on our behalf. Anyway, continuing like this isn’t a good thing."
Huzi said as he patted the shoulder of the dismal delinquent, "Qiangzi... among the four of us, not only do you have both parents, but your parents treat you well,
Think about it, if you keep failing their expectations and wander aimlessly in society, when you become an adult in a couple of years, how heartbroken would your parents be?"
Upon saying this, Huzi turned his gaze to the baby-faced delinquent and the tall skinny delinquent, "Ermao, Junzi, even though one of you doesn’t have a dad and the other doesn’t have a mom, Ermao, your mother hasn’t remarried for the sake of you, your brother, and sister,
This shows that your mom truly cares for you siblings, and your eldest brother took over your dad’s job right after graduating junior high, working alongside your mom to earn a wage just to support you and your sister’s schooling,
Obviously, they want to see you succeed. But if you keep messing around like this, are you accountable to your mom and brother?"
The delinquents named Qiangzi and Ermao lowered their heads in shame, seeing this, Huzi then spoke to Junzi, the other delinquent, "Your aunt left, but I believe she couldn’t bear to leave you and your brother...
Junzi, we live in the same compound, I know your stepmother isn’t good, but your dad cares about his reputation, to avoid the neighbors’ gossip,
He’s insisted on letting you and your brother continue school despite your stepmother’s manipulation these past two years; if you really stop going to school, who benefits?"
Huzi sighed deeply, he looked seriously at the three brothers following him, "What we did today—robbing people—is right or wrong? I believe you all have a scale in your hearts,
If not for that gentleman saying those two women were not good people, saying the older woman extorted a treasure from him, I wouldn’t have agreed to take you guys to do that thing.
And also, you saw it too, that gentleman was clearly not an ordinary person; even with a mask on, he gives off a formidable vibe.
Think about it carefully, compared to that gentleman, aren’t we like ants on the ground, so tiny and even despicable? Would you, yourself, look up to us like this?"
Seeing that not one of the three brothers made a sound, Huzi sighed deeply again, "I, for one, have little respect for who I am now. We’re all just people with a nose, a mouth, and two eyes, why can’t we become powerful?"
Saying this, Huzi thought of the old grandparents, his eyes slightly red, "My parents were gone when I was ten, it was my grandparents who painstakingly raised me until today,
And yet I turned out bad, thinking skipping school and mixing around was cool, not considering the right path. To tell the truth, I’m sorry to my grandparents."
With a firm wipe at the corner of his eye, Huzi said, "That gentleman actually didn’t have to tell us those things before leaving, and he certainly didn’t need to give us more money,
Yet he kindly advised us, lest we head down a dead-end road, eventually unable to turn back, foolishly ruining our lives. Alright, that’s all I’ll say, whether you like it or not, I’m doing this for us brothers."
Junzi: "I’ll listen to the boss, tomorrow morning, I’ll go to school on time."
