Chapter 1290: Chapter 1290 – A Story Of Heroism

“You’re on summer vacation, aren’t you?”Father Zhang started the car. “I’m so envious… When you get back to work, you’ll know how rare such a long vacation is.”

“Why, are you guys busy?”Zhang Heng fastened his seatbelt.

“Well… not really.”Father Zhang scratched his head, “Our job is a bit special, so we don’t have to work every day. But that’s not the point. I just want to tell you that you should cherish the good times of your youth,”he continued after a pause, “Since you’re here, why don’t you stay a little longer? Your mother misses you too. Our family hasn’t been spending much time together these past few years, so we can take this opportunity to take a road trip around Ireland.”

However, Zhang Heng said, “We’ll see. I’m just here to see you guys. I haven’t decided how long I’m going to stay here.”

Father Zhang was startled. “Do you have anything else to do during your vacation?”

Zhang Heng didn’t answer the question. Instead, he asked, “Have you guys received any strange calls recently?”

“Strange calls? Do the welcoming ads at the strip club count?”

“Then it’s nothing,”father Zhang said, “You know, our work is a bit special. We’ve been staying abroad all these years and have been running around the world. We barely keep in touch with most of our former classmates and friends. “This is also the reason why we left you in the country when you were young. Your Mother thinks that a stable living environment is more beneficial for the growth of children. We just moved to Ireland six months ago, so we don’t really know anyone here.”

“That’s good. Let’s bring Grandpa here later.”

“Huh?”? Xiao Xia and I didn’t have any objections, but didn’t your grandfather always not want to go abroad? “We used to think that it was because you were still studying in the country, so it was inconvenient for him to leave. But now that you’re older, we mentioned this to him the last time we went home, but we didn’t expect him to still not agree. He said that he was used to living in the country and that he still had to take care of the plants in the yard.”

“Find some excuse. Isn’t my mom pregnant right now? Just say that she’s emotionally unstable and wants Grandpa to take care of her.”

“How could Xiao Xia be emotionally unstable with her personality…”father Zhang suddenly stopped when he said this, as if he had realized something, “You asked me if I had any strange calls recently, and then you asked us to bring Grandpa here. Did you get into some trouble in the country?”? “Trouble at school?”? “And a loan shark. Your mother and I may not be very rich, but we’ve saved up some money over the years. We can help you cover it up first. If it doesn’t work out, your mother can sell her body to her rich girlfriend.”

“It’s not that kind of trouble.”

“Then what kind of trouble can a college student get into?”

“Just in case, I can solve it myself. Just give me some time,”Zhang Heng said.

“You’re just as stubborn as I was when I was young.”Father Zhang didn’t pursue the matter further. “Have I ever told you the story of how I was a Good Samaritan when I was young?”

“I don’t think so. I don’t remember.”

“Yes, it’s just that most people think that no matter how bad a minor is, it can’t be that bad. After all, children are still young, and it’s inevitable for them to make mistakes. It’s not a big deal, so they’re used to avoiding school violence. Moreover, the current law mainly focuses on educating and guiding minors to commit crimes. On the other hand, this also makes it very cheap for minors to commit crimes.

“In any case, at that time, basically every school would have a school bully or something. Basically, we gave up on studying and gathered a bunch of friends. Most of them would even interact with some people from outside the school and acknowledge one or two big brothers to back them up. After that, they would run amok in the school, flaunting their power and bullying the students they targeted. Sometimes, it was to extort money, and sometimes, it was just to get pleasure.

“Unfortunately, we also have a guy like that in our school. They are actually very good at choosing people. They specifically pick introverted, weak and shy students. These targets usually don’t resist and can only silently endure the bullying. “I’ve seen them find people to buy cigarettes for them before, or block people at the school gate, but that was the first time I saw them beating other students with my own eyes. I didn’t want to get involved in this kind of thing, but they were beating the students of our class.

“I don’t know him very well, but I know he’s from a single-parent family. His family situation isn’t very good. Other than him, there are two other elderly people. They all rely on his mother to work in the factory workshop. Moreover, the profits of the cannery where his mother was at that time weren’t very good. He usually didn’t talk much at school and was a little quiet. That day, it happened to be when he was about to pay his book fees. I guess that’s why those people targeted him. So I hesitated for a moment, but I still stood up and shouted at those people. What are you doing? If you don’t stop, I’m going to call the police!”

“And then my classmates and I were beaten up by them. My book payment was also stolen.”Father Zhang Sighed, “I thought about it later. That place is actually very close to the gate of our school. If I had gone to the security office to look for someone, or had really called the police instead of acting tough, the result might have been different. Maybe we wouldn’t have been beaten up and our money stolen.”

“Mm, you’ve always told me to be calm and rational when encountering danger. I didn’t expect you to be so impulsive.”

“Don’t look at me now as an ordinary middle-aged man, but who hasn’t been a teenager before?”

Father Zhang spoke of this matter with a beaming expression. Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one on the road, he even opened the car window and stepped on the accelerator. He felt the pleasure of the strong wind whistling past his ears, and it seemed that he had used this opportunity to return to his youth.

An hour later, the two of them arrived at Father Zhang and mother Zhang’s new house in Ireland. Even though it was a rented house, it was very clean. Furthermore, all the appliances in the house were already fully equipped, the front yard was also planted with flowers and plants.

Mother Zhang was busy frying something in the kitchen. Compared to the New Year, the bulge in her lower abdomen was very obvious. However, it was still early for her to give birth. There should still be a few months left, and her complexion was as good as ever, she still looked as heartless as ever.

She couldn’t help but laugh when she saw Zhang Heng. “How dare you say that I’m in a Daze? I’m So Big, and I can’t even look at my phone. Where did I throw it?”

“If I knew where I threw it, I would have picked it up,”Zhang Heng said.

“That’s true. Forget it, you came at the right time. You caught me at the perfect time to have a taste of the world’s delicacies. Let’s Go Buy You a phone tomorrow. I also want to buy a chef’s phone.”

Father Zhang was at the back, taking Zhang Heng’s luggage out of the trunk. At that moment, his phone rang. Father Zhang looked at the message he had received and said, “You guys eat first. The research institute has something they want me to do.”

“Now?”Mother Zhang asked. “But my food is almost ready.”

“Sorry, it should be related to the paper I’m about to publish. It’s urgent. Don’t worry, I’ll be back soon. Don’t eat all of it, save some food for me,”father Zhang said as he opened the car door.
