"His mother was seriously ill, and he didn't come home. He's no different from an animal," Zuo Meiyan said. "He should come back."
Jin Xiu nodded. "But … He's very busy abroad. My mother felt guilty when she heard that he came back because of her."
"It's a habit for parents to do things for their sons. After all, they do it from the moment they're born." Ruan Qingshuang said, "If you don't do that, the world will despise you for being unworthy of being a parent. This kind of thing, whether it's an individual or the outside world, will put a lot of pressure on you.
Jin Xiu didn't know what to say. In fact, she didn't think that her younger brother was a filial son, but Lexian had indeed helped their family a lot in some things.
Out of her good impression of Ruan Qingshuang and Zuo Meiyan, Jin Xiu told them some things about her family.
Their father died early, so their mother raised Jin Xiu and Jin Lexian alone. It wasn't easy.
Jin Lexian had been interested in computers since he was a child, but his family was poor. His mother didn't have money for him to study, so he bought a computer with the money he earned from cheating. Because of that, his mother beat him and smashed the computer.
After that, Jin Lexian ran away from home. They hadn't heard from him for several years. Both his mother and his daughter thought that he was dead.
However, Jin Lexian came back later and left a sum of money for his mother and sister. He told them that he was going abroad and might not come back in the future.
After that, Jin Lexian left Korea. Jin Xiu kept persuading her mother to pretend that she never had a son. Otherwise, she would only be sad.
After that, Jin Lexian didn't hear from her again. He didn't come back until several years ago. He said that he heard that the slum area where they had been living was renovated, so he bought it with money and renovated it into the most luxurious café in this area.
Jin Lexian believed that his mother and sister wouldn't have to worry about money anymore with this café.
Indeed, Jin Xiu and her mother lived a much better life with this café. Therefore, Jin Xiu forgave Jin Lexian for what he had done before.
Even though Jin Lexian said that he was very busy and couldn't go home often, Jin Xiu understood.
However, her mother was sick a month ago, and kept asking to see Jin Lexian. Jin Xiu had no choice but to inform Jin Lexian that her mother was seriously ill and wanted to see him, because she didn't know whether she would be able to see him again after this meeting.
Hearing this, Jin Lexian rushed home immediately. He didn't have any other thoughts. He just wanted to spend a few more days with the old man. After that, he still had to do his work. Many things in life were forced by circumstances.
Most of the time, it wasn't that people didn't want to do something. It was just that there were many things that they wanted to do but couldn't do it. They couldn't make it their focus.
Jin Xiu's mother was satisfied that Jin Lexian could come back this time. Jin Xiu thought it was enough. At least they could be sure that there was a family member who cared about them from afar.
While Jin Xiu was telling the story to Zuo Meiyan and Ruan Qingshuang, Jin Lexian came back.
Jin Lexian rushed back to the store with an anxious look on his face. Jin Xiu went up to him and comforted him, "It's fine now. Why did you come back? Everything has been taken care of."
"Did Brother Han take care of it?" Jin Lexian said. The people who worked for Jin Xiu in the café were all acquaintances of Jin Lexian when he was young. They were all children from the slums, so they didn't have many connections and didn't have a way out. That was why Jin Lexian asked Brother Han to work in the café.
He remembered that Brother Han was a very loyal friend when he was young. He would always stand up for Brother Han when he was in trouble.
With Brother Han around, Jin Lexian felt more at ease. At least, Brother Han would be able to fend off those troublemakers outside.
"Um …" Jin Xiu didn't know how to answer. She looked a little embarrassed. Brother Han looked like a coward in front of the American soldiers.
"You expect Korean men to deal with the American soldiers? Are you kidding me? " Zuo Meiyan said with disdain, "I don't know who your Brother Han is, but the three men in the cafe are all cowards. They don't even dare to fart in front of the American soldiers."
Jin Lexian couldn't help but clench his fists when he heard that.
Brother Han wasn't that kind of person! He was very particular about the code of brotherhood! No matter what happened when he was young, he would always rush to the front when there was a fight.
Yes, that was true when he was young. Because children were very innocent, they didn't understand the messy things in society. Children dared to solve problems with their fists because they didn't know how to cause any big problems.
However, things were different when they grew up. The children in the slums felt inferior as they grew up. It was an undeniable fact.
Most of the time, people started to lose their courage as they grew older. They lost their courage because they had more responsibilities on their shoulders. They needed to think more before they did things. They understood that they weren't strong enough to cause trouble. They also understood that those who were really rich and powerful could easily kill them.
It was a kind of growth. Growing up meant losing a lot of things, including integrity.
"Don't be angry. What happened today isn't something that we can deal with. Those people …" Jin Xiu wanted to comfort Jin Lexian.
However, Jin Lexian walked straight to the inner workroom and yelled at the people inside, "Brother Han, what are you doing? Come out! "
Then, there was the sound of things being knocked over in the workshop.
Jin Lexian walked in and waved his fist at Brother Han. His fist hit Brother Han's face hard. Brother Han staggered and fell to the ground. He couldn't get up.
"What did you promise me? Don't you remember? "Jin Lexian said angrily." I asked you to come here to protect my sister! You can't just stand by and watch her get bullied without doing anything! You bastard, are you still a man?! ' Stand up right now! Bastard! "
Brother Han stood up, but didn't say anything. He just lowered his head and let Jin Lexian beat him.
"Say something! Tell me, are you still a man? What do you want to do? "Jin Lexian punched Brother Han in the face again.
Brother Han still didn't resist. He just let Jin Lexian vent his anger.
Jin Xiu walked forward and stopped Jin Lexian. "You don't have to do this. You can't blame Brother Han for this. You can only blame our country for being useless! The American troops were left behind by our country! "
"Even so, we can't let them bully us like this! Brother Han, you are a man! Why didn't you fight back? "Jin Lexian couldn't understand.
"Lexian, it's not that I didn't fight back, but I know … it's meaningless to fight back," Brother Han finally said.
Jin Lexian was stunned. What does he mean? Is he going to let the American troops bully us like this?
"Don't tell me you haven't heard of the acquittal of the two American soldiers who killed our Korean girl more than ten years ago?" Brother Han said. "It's no secret that the American soldiers are barbaric and unfair. How do you expect me to fight against them?"
Brother Han's words made everyone fall silent.
More than ten years ago, a caterpillar tank of the American Empire's Second Division Engineer Team stationed in Korea ran over two teenage Korean girls. Due to the narrow roads, the tank drove to the right side of the road without careful observation. It ran over two junior high school girls who were walking on the side of the road.
However, according to the Garrison Status Agreement signed between the two countries, the Garrison Command of the American Empire had the right to exercise jurisdiction over their military personnel. The Korean judicial system had no right to try the two American soldiers who caused the accident.
This kind of law was not strict enough to restrict the American soldiers, so they could easily get away with it.
Back then, the Koreans even had a large-scale protest because of this incident. One had to know that the American soldiers caused more than four hundred traffic accidents in Korea every year.
Even though the Koreans had made a lot of noise in the past and hated the American soldiers, they seemed to have forgotten the pain after the scars had healed. They even wanted the American Empire to deploy Saar. What an extremely retarded people.
