Chapter 15
Dad's complexion changed, and he asked anxiously, "Old Chen, didn't you mean your friend when I borrowed it yesterday?"

The worker lowered his head, a little afraid to look at his father: "He is my former friend, but I didn't expect that he joined the Nine-Headed Gang. When I took you to borrow money yesterday, didn't he ask us to sign an agreement?" Is it? We didn’t look carefully at that time, but today he came to me, said it was a usury loan, and even showed yesterday’s agreement. I took a closer look, and it turned out that he was specifically lending money to the Nine Heads Gang.”

"Nine-Headed Gang..."

After hearing this, my mother couldn't help taking two steps back.

Ai Li and Xiaowei were also shocked when they heard this.

Nine-Headed Gang, that is the biggest gang in District [-].

Fifty years ago, a catastrophic virus broke out on Earth.This disaster killed nine out of ten human beings in the entire world.The last tenth, the ten bases established all over the earth, are safe zones.Where Ai Li and the others are located is the No. 50 base, also called the eighth area.

The Nine-Headed Gang was established almost at the same time as the Eighth District.It is said that they helped tens of thousands of people, and many of them were fighters.

In the entire Eighth District, the Nine-Headed Gang almost walked sideways.

Now my family borrowed a loan from the Nine Heads Gang for no apparent reason, as if the sky fell in an instant.A family of four, their hearts are shrouded in haze.

Ai Li continued to listen, only to hear the worker continue to say: "This usury is 50000% interest every day. You borrowed 51005 yuan, compound interest, two days is 51005. I know the truth today, the first I'll tell you when the time comes. Let's figure out a way together to return this [-] to them. Otherwise, in a few days, it will get bigger and bigger, and our two families may not be able to pay it back."

When Ai Li heard this, a fire rose in his heart.

This incident was obviously caused by the Nine-Headed Gang.In two days, I asked my family to pay back more than 1000 yuan, which is like eating people without spit out bones.

The Nine-Headed Gang, our Liang Zi, is finally settled.

Avril saw that Ai Li's fist had been clenched, her little hand came over, held Ai Li's hand, and shook her head slightly.

Ai Li turned back to hold Avril's hand as a sign of comfort, and said softly: "Xiaowei, don't worry, brother will not do stupid things before he has absolute strength. However, the Nine-Headed Gang, I will never let them Arrogant for too long!"

……

In the living room, both parents and Uncle Chen lowered their heads, trying to think of a way.

Uncle Chen said: "Old Ai, I know that your 50000 was to buy an electronic wallet for Xiao Li. But now that things have come to this, we might as well sell the electronic wallet first, and then collect some money to pay back the loan shark. Otherwise, both your family and mine will face the threat of the Nine-Headed Gang."

The father looked solemn, but shook his head and said: "No, Xiaoli is a soldier now, so he must have an electronic wallet."

"This..." Uncle Chen said anxiously.

Father said, "We'll find someone else to borrow."

The mother said anxiously: "But who can we borrow now? In the past few years, we owed more than 20 yuan to others to treat Xiaoli's illness. Now... I'm afraid no one will lend it to us."

Although the mother deliberately lowered her voice, their home was small, and Ai Li in the next room listened carefully, so he naturally heard what his mother said.

Ai Li looked down at Xiaowei, and Xiaowei also lowered her head and didn't speak.

It turned out that five years ago, on a thunderstorm night, Ai Li was inexplicably electrocuted and stunned to death while playing "Prototype", and became a vegetative state.His parents went around raising money to treat him, and God paid off. Three years ago, he finally woke up and slowly returned to normal.

However, the family is also heavily in debt, owing more than 20 yuan.

However, neither the parents nor Xiao Wei had mentioned this matter, so Ai Li naturally didn't know about it.

For myself, how much pressure my parents and Xiaowei have endured.

This made Ai Li's determination even stronger, and he must work hard to cultivate and become stronger as soon as possible.Let parents and Xiaowei have a good life.

However, I have to help my family solve the current predicament as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Ellie pushed open the door and came to the living room.

Xiao Wei also followed behind, tugging at the hem of Ai Li's clothes, trotting to follow.

This is a habit that Xiaowei has developed since she was a child. She always likes to follow Ai Li by the hem of his clothes.

"Dad, Mom, I'm going to sell the e-wallet now and pay back the money."

"Xiao Li."

Parents did not expect that their words were heard by Ai Li.

Uncle Chen said with some embarrassment: "Xiao Li, it's all Uncle Chen's fault..."

But Ai Li interrupted Uncle Chen and said, "Uncle Chen, you are here to help us. No matter how you say it, we should thank you."

Uncle Chen has always felt sorry for the Ai family in this matter. Now that he can hear Ai Li say this, he can't help nodding gratefully: "Xiao Li, uncle also knows that you are a soldier, and you need to be equipped with an electronic wallet. But it is the difficulty of the family after all. What matters is that your e-wallet will be sold first, and uncle will raise 1000 for you to repay the usury. After a year, uncle will find a way to raise 50000 for you, and then buy an e-wallet."

"No need, Uncle Chen, I still have some money here, enough to pay off the usury."

As Ai Li said, he turned around and asked his father, "Dad, do we still owe Uncle Chen money?"

Dad was a little taken aback by what Ai Li said just now. In his eyes, Ai Li had always been a child who didn't do his job properly, but at this moment just now, he suddenly realized that Ai Li had grown up, and he didn't dare believe.

After being so taken aback, he subconsciously replied, "I owe Uncle Chen 4000."

Ai Li took out a thick wad of banknotes under the eyes of the family who couldn't believe it, counted 4000, handed it to Uncle Chen, and said, "Uncle Chen, this is 4000, please click."

The parents couldn't believe it, and Xiao Wei also widened her lovely eyes.

Before going to the warrior school, Ai Li was a kid who could hardly do anything and fantasized about being a warrior all day long.Why did you suddenly become so rich when you just went to Warrior School for five thousand?
Father Ai's face darkened, and he said, "Ai Li, how did you get the money?"

Ai Li knew what his father was worried about, and said, "Dad, don't worry, I won the money by fighting with my classmates."

After hearing this, the parents were relieved.

In order to encourage students to compete with each other, Warrior School can't help but gamble.It can be said that the money obtained in this way is aboveboard.

Uncle Chen waved his hands again and again: "It's all my fault this time, your family will take the money for emergency first. After Xiao Li graduates and makes a lot of money, it's not too late to pay me back."

But Ai Li stuffed the 4000 yuan into Uncle Chen's hand and said, "Uncle Chen, just take it. I didn't know it before, but now that I know it, I should take on the responsibility of the family. I will be slow in the future. Slowly pay back all the money owed."

Father's heart agitated for a while, and mother's eye sockets were already moist.

Xiaoli has really grown up.

At the same time, they felt sad for a while.

Other people's children, at the age of 15, are still the age to play like crazy.My own child, Xiaoli, started thinking about paying off the debts for the family when he was 15 years old.Xiaowei is only 13 years old, but she sells flowers on the street all day to subsidize her family.

My own parents are really incompetent.

At this time, Ai Li still had 1000 yuan left in his hands. He gave the 1000 yuan to his mother and said, "Mom, this 1000 yuan is for improving the food for the family."

Mother took Ai Li's hand and said, "Xiao Li, you earned the money and you keep it for yourself. I heard that after becoming a soldier, you will have to spend a lot of money."

Ai Li said: "Xiaowei is growing her body now, so feed her well. In two years she will test her talent, and she will probably become a fighter. If our future fighters are starved If it's broken, it's not good."

Both parents and Xiao Wei looked at Ai Li.

For a time, the hearts of the family of four were very close, very close.

……

After leaving home, Ai Li followed Uncle Chen to a nearby big market and sold the electronic wallet.Ai Li added another 1005 yuan, and went with Uncle Chen to pay off the debt with his friend from the Jiutou Gang.

When they came out from the friend of the Nine-headed Gang, Ai Li recalled the sly smile on the corner of that person's mouth, and a seed of hatred had already been planted in his heart.

Two days passed in a blink of an eye.

Ellie is going to school on Sunday afternoon.

When the parents watched Ai Li's back gradually disappear around the corner of the street, the two of them looked at each other.

Father said: "Xiao Li has grown up."

Mother sighed: "We are getting old too."

At the same time, in a hospital not far from Ai Li's home.

On the hospital bed, the smoker was lying on the hospital bed, with bandages wrapped around his body, like a mummy.

The thin monkey next to him also had a bandage around his neck and an arm on the other end.

"Smoke... smoke..."

The smoker struggled to open his mouth.

The thin monkey wondered: "Brother, this is a hospital, smoking is not allowed."

The smoker turned his eyes and stared at the thin monkey fiercely.

The thin monkey sighed helplessly, looked back, took out a cigarette, lit it in his own mouth, and put it in the smoker's mouth.

Like a woman who hasn't been moisturized for a long time when she sees a man, the smoker took a few puffs and comfortably exhaled a smoke ring.

After a while, his gaze became fiercer: "I will not take this revenge... I swear I will not... be human..."

The thin monkey looked helpless: "But big brother, that kid is actually a soldier now, how can we take revenge?"

"Soldier...then we'll...find a warrior's backer."

"In our neighborhood, apart from the fighters from the Warrior School, I'm afraid that only the Nine-Headed Gang has fighters. But you know, Brother, the Nine-Headed Gang, we can't afford to provoke them at all."

"If you can't afford it...then...just join..."

The smoker stared fiercely at the ceiling.

……

Xiaowei sent Ai Li to the gate of Warrior School before waving: "Brother, you have to practice hard. Otherwise, you will keep repeating grades. I will come to Warrior School in two years, and I will be in the same grade as you. I am ashamed of myself, hehe " She said, wrinkling her small nose, looking as cute as she could be.

Ai Li smiled: "Don't worry, when you come in two years, maybe your brother and I have already skipped four grades and graduated?"

"You just blow it."

"Xiaowei, be careful when you go back."

The two brothers and sisters reluctantly bid farewell.

Ai Li turned around and strode towards the Warrior Academy.

For my parents, for my little sister, for this family not to be bullied by others, and for my ideal of being the strongest fighter, I have to work hard to practice.

I'm going all out, even I'm scared.

Hey, are you afraid?
