Chapter 174: Fire and Counterattack
Old Man Zhou had a shocked expression on his face and looked at the relatives and clansmen around him one by one.

Third Uncle, Uncle Xiaowang and others looked ashamed and did not dare to look him in the eye. Other relatives were mostly indifferent and silent.

With just one sentence, Zhou Lai Xi cut off Zhou Lao's qualification to sign the document. Anyone else who spoke too much suffered the same fate.

At this time, no one dared to speak up and say a fair word for him.

"What about entering the family tree?"

When Old Man Zhou asked, he had already given up hope.

The other party's answer completely cut off the last glimmer of hope.

"You have no hope in this life. Zhou You's generation is in trouble too. If you sincerely serve the clan members from now on, your grandchildren may be eligible to return to the family tree."

This is too much!

Zhou You didn't expect that as relatives, no matter how distant the blood relationship was, they couldn't be more cruel than strangers, right?

They used the clan's name to morally bind their family, not only extorting money from them, but also not giving them even the slightest status.

When people use a mule, they give it half a carrot!
Old Man Zhou, who had always been good-tempered, was so angry that he was shaking all over. He was a kind-hearted man, not stupid, and it was obvious that they were treating him like a fat pig to be slaughtered.

With Zhou Lai Xi's face, there doesn't seem to be any concern for family affection at all.

"Zhou Laixi, don't treat me as a fool."

Old Man Zhou finally exploded in front of his son.

The other party was definitely well prepared. Zhou Lai Xi's sons snorted coldly and stepped forward, surrounding Zhou You and his son.

Zhou Laixi's expression changed. "Sanwazi, do you really have no idea about your family's affairs?"

"Don't think that you can shut everyone up by giving them a little favor. Do you want me to tell all the relatives about your son's behavior that ruins the family tradition? Do you dare to agree?"

Zhouyou:……

Ruining the family tradition! Me?

Zhou You didn't get angry yet, but his father was even more excited than him. It's okay for you to say that about me, but you dare to slander my son.

My son is the best son in the world. He is obedient, sensible and capable. He is eighteen thousand times better than your sons.

"Zhou Laixi, please explain yourself clearly. If you don't, I will ask Taigong to come out and do justice even if I have to break my legs."

Zhou Lai Xi looked very confident and turned around proudly.

"Okay, then I'll tell you, your son is learning boxing in a martial arts school in the city, right?"

"So what?"

Zhou Laixi bowed towards the ancestral tablets and said, "Our family has a family-inherited boxing technique. If you don't come to learn our own skills, but instead learn from outsiders, it is disrespectful to our ancestors in the first place."

This hat is big enough.

Zhou You looked at him with doubts, and got a definite answer. There really was a family-inherited boxing style called Zhou Family Boxing.

It's a humble farming skill, only practiced by the tribesmen, outsiders have never heard of it.

Zhou You suddenly understood. No wonder he saw that Zhou Lai Xi's sons had a superficial flow of energy in their bodies.

"So what? Go to the city and take a look. There are at least 8,000 people who send their children to a martial arts school. The key is that it is close to home."

Zhou Lai Xi did not dwell on this point too much.

He walked to the side and asked a vigorous old man in his sixties to stand up, "Fourth brother, how did your son die, and how was Tie Niu's nephew injured?"

The old man was tall and thin, with strong muscles in his arms. It was obvious that he was a farmer who also practiced boxing.

Behind him stood a silent young man with a blank gaze, as if his brain was not very clear.

Ok?
Zhou You took a quick look and found that the left half of the young man's head was dented, as if it had been hit by something hard.

The sixty-year-old man is my fourth uncle Zhou Laiwei, whose status in the clan is second only to Zhou Laixi.

Zhou Lai Xi is rich and powerful, while Zhou Lai Wei is the best boxer and the most capable fighter in the clan.

Every year when there are disputes with neighboring villages, such as disputes over lost livestock or water sources during the dry season, the men in Zhou Laiwei's family are always the first to rush to the front. Many of his descendants died or were injured for the sake of the villagers, and the villagers respected him very much.

"It's because he was beaten to death by the disciples of Jianxiong Martial Arts School when he was trying to seize the land, and my grandson Tieniu was kicked in the head."

Zhou Laiwei snorted heavily, "I'm not as skilled as others, and I admit it."

When Father Zhou heard the words "Jianxiong Martial Arts School", his heart skipped a beat. It was all over.

My son is in Jianxiong Martial Arts School. The murderer who killed Zhou Laiwei's son and injured his grandson is from the same school!

He immediately grabbed Zhou You's sleeve and said, "Son, let's go!"

At this moment, he no longer wanted to return to the family tree or bring honor to his family. He just wanted to take his son and his old wife back to the city.

He finally saw through it. All those years of dedication to the family were in vain.

A real home is that small space where a family of three can support each other.

"Don't go. Do you dare to tell everyone what your son's martial arts school is called?"

Zhou Lai Xi and his sons blocked the door, forcing Old Man Zhou not to leave.

Father Zhou was furious and rolled up his sleeves to fight, but he heard his son say calmly, "I'm learning boxing at Jianxiong Martial Arts School."

Wow!
Zhou Laixi was smug amid the clamor, "Did you hear that? He is on friendly terms with our enemy and is learning boxing with him. This doesn't count as ruining the family tradition."

After saying that, he bowed to Zhou Laiwei and said, "Fourth brother, I'm sorry for making you suffer."

At this time, he did not forget to add fuel to the fire and reminded the other party to hate Zhou You.

Zhou Laiwei snorted and said nothing. Suddenly, Zhou You asked, "What's the name of the person who made the move?"

"He is a fierce warrior with brutal kicking skills. His nickname is something like the Cracking Skull Tiger."

That's right, the wound on the young man's head is right.

Zhou You grinned, and at this moment he was filled with confidence.

"To be honest, I returned to my hometown to avoid the limelight because I killed a fellow disciple in the martial arts hall."

"This fellow disciple is called Zhong Shaoying, nicknamed the Split-Skull Tiger."

"If you don't believe me, you can go and ask!"

When Zhou Laiwei heard this, his eyes sparkled and he took a step forward and grabbed Zhou You's arm.

The Qi and blood vibrations coming from his palms were actually the strength of Qi and Blood Stage 1. This Fourth Uncle was incredible!

The farmer was able to practice Qi and blood to the initial stage, no wonder he could occupy an important position in the tribe.

Zhou Laiwei was even more surprised. A wave of energy and blood far stronger than his own burst out and knocked his palm away.

"Qi and blood level 3, no, the lowest is level 4, you are in the middle level of Qi and blood."

Zhou You smiled and nodded, then he said with a salutation, "Fourth uncle's boxing skills are amazing."

"You're too kind. I'm far inferior to you."

Zhou Laiwei and Zhou You saluted each other using the gestures commonly used among warriors.

In terms of seniority, Zhou You is one generation younger than Zhou Laiwei, but in terms of boxing level, he is superior to Zhou Laiwei.

Zhou Laiwei waved to the young man and said, "Tie Niu, come and kowtow to your brother and thank him for avenging your father."

Without saying a word, the young man knelt down in front of Zhou You and kowtowed.

Zhou Lai Xi's face turned very bad when he saw this scene. His plan failed. Zhou Laiwei, who was originally used to deal with Zhou You, instead received favor from the other party. The relationship between the two became closer than ever before.

"Fifth Uncle, since my story is just groundless speculation, it's time to talk about your story!"

While Zhou Lai Xi was still thinking, Zhou You turned the tables and brought the war to him.
