City: My Disciples Have Shocked The World - Chapter 37

Chapter 37 A Past Related To Uncle

“Hahahaha, Master, did you see that? Senior Brother Wan looked like that just now. Hahaha, I’m dying of laughter!” Qiu Lingruo sat on the sofa in the waiting room and laughed until she swayed back and forth. “He looked like he was reluctant to part, and his extended arms were even longer than the hands of an orangutan! Hahahaha! He was crying and laughing at the same time. It’s really a waste of Senior Brother Wan’s talent not to change his expression.”

“Keep your voice down and don’t disturb the other guests.” Kong Xiuyao flipped to the next page of the newspaper and said indifferently.

In this era, it was really inconvenient to pay without a phone. It was too troublesome to either give cash or transfer it to a bank card.

Kong Xiuyao took out the bankbook from his bag and said, “Let your Senior Brother Ren work hard and develop his cell phone into a human hand. Then, let your Senior Brother Ma cooperate with the bank and get a cell phone bank or something.”

“Master, what are you talking about?” Qiu Lingruo asked in confusion.

Kong Xiuyao put the bankbook back into his pocket. “It’s nothing. I was just thinking about your three rich senior brothers’ future development.”

“Wow!” Qiu Lingruo’s eyes lit up. “Master, you’re always wondering why we want to stay by your side, but you don’t know that your casual words are a great inspiration to us. I feel that life is much smoother now. All roads lead to Rome.”

After saying that, she took out her beloved little phone and typed on the keys. Her busy and happy appearance aroused Kong Xiuyao’s curiosity.

He glanced sideways and said, “Why are you so happy to send a message? By the way, who are you sending a message to?”

“Senior Brothers,” Qiu Lingruo said sweetly, “Master, before I came, several Senior Brothers asked me to send them what you usually say.”

“What do you mean?” Kong Xiuyao was puzzled.

“For example, just now, you said that Senior Brother Ren and Senior Brother Ma should be something. Isn’t that pointing them in the direction of future development? Even though I don’t quite understand what you mean, send the original words to them and they will definitely understand!” Qiu Lingruo explained, her smile as bright as if she had picked up money. She covered her mouth and laughed. “They said that every time I sent one, they would give me this amount! Hehehe, I plan to record your words. In the future, I’ll make a book called ‘The Sayings Of Kong’. Everyone will have one!”

Kong Xiuyao’s lips twitched. He didn’t know how to evaluate his disciples’ thoughts. After holding it in for a long time, he only said, “You guys are quite creative…”

“Tsk, tsk, tsk.” Qiu Lingruo wagged her index finger. “Master, you can absorb everything into the universe. You don’t understand our fear when we encounter problems at all. That’s why everyone wants to follow you. At critical moments, someone can guide us. But who has a good life like mine? Hehe!”

When Qiu Lingruo shrank her neck and laughed, her phone rang three times in a row. They were all received messages.

Kong Xiuyao looked at this difficult communication method and felt that it was time for Ma Huateng to improve his dating app. He wanted to create a group chat as soon as possible. If there was anything, he could just shout in the group. There was no need to inform them one by one.

Ever since they left Pingxu for the capital, Qiu Lingruo’s phone had never stopped ringing.

“Speaking of which, Master, the senior and junior brothers in the capital have been asking why you didn’t instruct them to solve Uncle’s difficulties first. Clearly, as long as you say a word, Uncle can receive the best treatment and medical care.” Qiu Lingruo was slightly puzzled.

Kong Xiuyao pondered for a moment and shook his head. “Uncle’s hospitalization isn’t a problem, but I feel that he must have encountered some difficulties. He didn’t inform your senior brothers because he was afraid that Uncle would be frightened by them. Secondly, I want to settle it myself.”

“Why?” Qiu Lingruo did not understand.

Kong Xiuyao said, “When I was young, my family was very poor. I almost couldn’t even afford to study…”

At that time, not only was Kong Xiuyao’s family poor, but the entire Pingxu Village was very poor. If they were unlucky, they would encounter a natural disaster which would make the harvest very bad, so everyone tightened their belts to the limit.

However, Kong Xiuyao’s uncle was more quick-witted. He was the first person in Pingxu Village to realize that his family’s land had no future. While others were still worrying about asking for rain, he was already learning farming from others in the city.

However, his uncle was not very cultured. He only had a little strength. His master, who taught him agricultural knowledge, instructed him to do more manual labor and give him a small salary.

“I remember that one year, the seedlings at home were pestered by other chickens. My parents were busy looking for someone to reason with and left me alone at home for the entire day. I remember that I wasn’t even as tall as the stove at that time. I was so hungry that I was dizzy and fell asleep at the door. Coincidentally, Uncle heard about what happened at home that day and rushed back from the city…” Kong Xiuyao recalled.

The first thing his uncle did when he returned home was not to look for Kong Xiuyao’s parents. Instead, he carried Kong Xiuyao to the small shop in the village to buy two loaves of bread and a box of milk. These two things did not seem to be worth much now, but more than ten years ago, the bread was still a high-end product from overseas. It was a few streets away from steamed buns! Buying two pieces of it used up his uncle’s week’s salary!

Kong Xiuyao could still taste the two pieces of bread.

“What happened after that?” Qiu Lingruo asked with heartache. She had never thought that her master, who knew everything, would actually go hungry.

“After that, my uncle kept watching over me. When my parents returned, he taught them a lesson!” At the mention of this, Kong Xiuyao smiled. “My uncle was the eldest in the family. My parents could only listen to his teachings. Later, they heard that the Miao at home had been pestered by chickens. That family still refused to admit it, so my uncle personally taught them a lesson.”

Kong Xiuyao’s uncle was tall and muscular. He could beat two Black Bulls with one hand. To the young Kong Xiuyao, he was as tall as a lighthouse. Sitting on his uncle’s shoulder, he could see far, so most people in the village did not dare to provoke him.

The next day, her uncle sat in front of that family’s door with his hoe and said nothing.

The more silent he was, the more the family was afraid that he would do something drastic. After all, everyone in the village knew how united the Kong brothers were.

In the end, his uncle sat there for the entire morning. That family reluctantly came out to admit their mistake. They compensated him with some money and even gave his uncle some chicks.

“Uncle is so handsome!” Qiu Lingruo said in admiration. “I really want to see Uncle soon.”

Kong Xiuyao said with a nostalgic smile, “Uncle is indeed a very good person, and he’s very powerful. His master treats him harshly, but he still learned from his master. Our family has received a lot of kindness from Uncle, so my father was so nervous when he heard that something had happened to Uncle. If I don’t make a trip personally, I might not be able to feel at ease for the rest of my life.”

“Don’t worry, Master!” Qiu Lingruo patted her chest and said, “No matter what difficulties Uncle encounters, we will do our best to help him solve them! There is only one outcome for those who dare to bully Unclethey will be burned to ashes by us!”

“Attention to passengers heading to the capital: Flight C6827 you are on is now starting to check in. Please go to counter 12. Thank you!”

As they talked, the boarding announcement sounded.

Qiu Lingruo jumped up from the stool and clenched her fists. “Master, let’s go! Go help Uncle!”
