Chapter 529 Where Did the Money Go? (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Throughout the entire process, neither Wu Zhi nor Wu Aiguo uttered a sound.

After Zhang Li had been gone for a while, Wu Aiguo reminded him, "Dad, go check the amount of money in the family's savings!"

Wu Zhi seemed to wake up from a dream, and hurriedly went into the house to search for money, valuables, and any possible deposit slips.

"Wu Aiguo, how dare you bully my mother?"

Just then, Wu Ai Dang and Wu Ai Jun, who had been playing outside, returned in a huff. Upon seeing Wu Ai Guo, they shouted, "Don't think that just because you're old, we two brothers can't beat you!"

"Wow, you two brothers are really capable!"

Wu Aiguo smiled and said calmly, "When you're cornered by Niu Er and about to get a beating, don't mention my name!"

"This one……"

With just a casual remark, the two brothers, who had been so aggressive, calmed down.

The Nanluoguxiang area is inhabited by workers and their families from the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill and several other factories. Although the nearby schools are not factory-run, the vast majority of their students are children of factory workers.

Fighting and playing around are common occurrences!

However, some of them, relying on their parents or being particularly strong, inevitably become a bit arrogant and domineering.

Of course, at this time, there was no culture of competing based on one's father's influence.

As long as he can fight, he is undoubtedly the king of the kids!

The brothers Wu Aidang and Wu Aijun were quite ordinary in both stature and fighting ability, making them easy targets for bullying.

Unfortunately, these two brothers lacked self-awareness and were probably spoiled by Zhang Li, becoming arrogant and conceited. They even wanted to be the kings of the school.

As a result, he was naturally taught a lesson by the real school bully.

For a while, she would often come back with bruises and swelling, which would make Zhang Li scream and yell for a long time, but she was helpless.

Although the excuses the two brothers came up with were quite clumsy, neither Wu Zhi nor Zhang Li were the kind of people who were assertive or shameless in public.

Besides telling the two brothers not to cause trouble, I also reported it to the school teachers.

The effect was, naturally, just so-so.

Even school bullies aren't stupid; why would they cause trouble at school?

It was when Wu Aiguo came home for vacation and saw the situation of these two guys that he casually told them to just say his name if they ever encountered trouble in the future.

After all, he's a celebrity who went from junior high to high school.

As mentioned earlier, his study in the city was truly on a "borrowed" basis.

With Zhang Li interfering and her biological father Wu Zhi turning a blind eye, Wu Aiguo ended up wearing homespun clothes and cloth shoes with thick soles after starting school, looking every bit the country bumpkin.

In schools similar to those for factory workers' children, such children are naturally considered outcasts, and being ostracized and suppressed is commonplace; sometimes they may even be beaten.

Its predecessor was no pushover either!
I started practicing martial arts with my grandfather when I was a child. According to my grandfather, it was authentic Xingyi Quan.

He may not look physically strong, but his muscles and bones are much stronger than those of an average student.

The original owner of this body had a fairly good temper; at least she wasn't tyrannical.

With his grandfather's teachings and example, he also did not have the habit of bullying the weak.

After making a name for himself at school, he became a lone wolf, and basically no student dared to mess with him.

Even older students are the same!
At first, Wu Aidang and Wu Aijun did not believe Wu Aiguo's words.

But when he couldn't take the beating anymore, he couldn't help but reveal Wu Aiguo's name. As a result, Niu Er, who had always been against the two brothers, suddenly seemed like a different person.

Although he still treated the two brothers with disdain, he never provoked them again.

The two brothers were the same; they finally had a peaceful life at school.

If they hadn't wanted to avoid relying on Wu Aiguo's influence, both brothers would have harbored ambitions of dominating the school.

Right now, being called out by Wu Aiguo is incredibly embarrassing. Young people like him value their pride above all else.

"Then you can't bully my mother either!"

Wu Ai Party, still stubbornly insisting, "We refuse to accept this!"

"Which eye of yours saw me bullying your mother?"

Wu Feng retorted irritably, "Don't believe everything you hear. Do you think your mother is so easy to bully? She's practically ready to shit and piss on my head!"

The two brothers couldn't really refute that.

Facts speak louder than words!

Every time Wu Aiguo was on vacation at home and Zhang Li made a fuss, Wu Aiguo always had to back down and put an end to it.
"But people outside are saying..."

"People outside say you two brothers like to eat shit, are you really like that?"

"Who likes to eat shit? Don't you dare slander me!"

"Look at you, you all know this is unreliable, but you're still influenced!"

"But my mother really did leave. She said she was going back to her parents' house to stay for a while!"

"Yes, if she hadn't been bullied, why would my mother have done that?"

"Then you'll have to ask Dad. You've got the wrong target!"

Just as Wu Aiguo was talking to his two younger brothers, Wu Zhi suddenly roared angrily from the master bedroom: "Where's the money? Where did all the money go?"

As she spoke, she rushed out in a fit of rage, holding a small wooden box in her hand.

"Dad, where are you going?"

Seeing Wu Zhi rushing out aggressively, Wu Aiguo asked impatiently, "It's so late, aren't you afraid of being mistaken for a bad guy and taken to the police station for questioning?"

As they were talking, he suddenly stood up and grabbed Wu Zhi's arm.

You were right!

Unable to budge, Wu Zhi slumped down, pointing to the small wooden box filled with loose change, and said, "There's less than six hundred yuan left here!"

"Don't you have a bankbook?"

Wu Aiguo merely glanced at it, showing no intention of reaching out, and asked curiously, "With your salary levels, you must have been able to save at least three or four thousand over the years, right?"

This is no joke!

In that era, the prices of rice, flour, cooking oil, and other non-staple foods supplied to urban residents through designated points were quite affordable.

Of course, if you want to improve your meals, you can go to the pigeon market and spend several times the price to buy eggs and meat.

Clearly, neither Wu Zhi nor Zhang Li, at least on the surface, are extravagant spenders; on the contrary, they are quite frugal.

As far as Wu Aiguo knew, they rarely went to Pigeon City; going once every two or three months was already considered quite good.

Under such circumstances, given their combined salaries and the number of children they need to support, saving three or four thousand yuan over fourteen or fifteen years is not a difficult task.

In fact, their situation is much better than that of the average worker's family.

They don't have to worry about their parents' food, clothing, or daily necessities, and they can even receive some food and meat/egg subsidies from their parents from time to time.

"Your Aunt Zhang manages all the money in the house!"

Wu Zhi gritted his teeth. He had been quite unhappy with Wu Aiguo calling his stepmother Aunt Zhang, but now that Wu Aiguo had accepted the title, he was clearly furious.

"You love the Party and the army, answer honestly!"

Ignoring his furious father Wu Zhi, Wu Aiguo looked at his two bewildered younger brothers and asked, "Do you two usually have plenty of pocket money, and your clothes, shoes, and socks are always the best in the class?"
