Iron Bull Legend

"You said that you should study hard at the Party School when you come back. Why do you have to get involved in the affairs of the capital?"

"Grandpa...shouldn't I intervene when I see these things? Also, aren't you a bit indignant or angry about what happened tonight? Anyway, I can't stand it."

"Well, if you graduate and go somewhere, it's your own business how you do things. Your grandfather will stand up for you when the opportunity arises. However, you are still studying now, so if you get involved, people will find fault with you and cause trouble for your grandfather."

"This is my personal behavior. How can it have anything to do with Taigong? Isn't this revenge?"

"You also know that this is revenge? You little bastard, how can you say such things? You have wasted your long time in the system. You have touched the interests of others, will they just stand there like good children and let you bully them?" The old beggar cursed.

"Grandpa, I am helping my fifth brother with this matter, and at the same time, I am adhering to my governing philosophy. I will never let this matter go so easily. I am determined on this matter, so you don't have to worry. Besides, I am not a soft persimmon that can be bullied by anyone." Tie Niu said domineeringly.

"I'm old, and honestly I shouldn't say too much about this matter. But I don't want to see you being targeted because of this matter. Also, think about it carefully, this also concerns your grandfather. Politics is something you will never be able to control." The old beggar sighed.

'I'm sorry, Grandpa. My words were a bit harsh. Actually... ' Tie Niu thought for a while and then said, 'Actually, I want to sit in that position. Now, I have to make plans. I want to build China into the greatest country in the world, where our people can live and work in peace and contentment, and our motherland can be prosperous and strong. So, I must do all things in advance.' Tie Niu finally expressed his ideal.

"What... are you talking about? Where do you want to sit?" The old man was surprised.

"Are you doubting my opinion or do you think your grandson can't do it?"

"Yes, yes. If you want to do it, then work hard. I will train some disciples for you to give you information and run errands for you. I didn't expect that there would be one in our generation..." When the old man said this, he heard the faint and gradual footsteps outside the room.

"I'm telling you this, I haven't told anyone else. You must keep it a secret for me, don't let this matter become a big news when it's nothing, hehe."

"Okay, stop talking and do it well. I think you can do it."

"Grandpa, do you really think so highly of me?" At this moment, Tie Niu showed a mischievous smile that a child should have. It was so sunny and bright that even the old beggar was infected for a moment.

"I support whatever you do, kid. Do your best and don't bring shame to our Beggars' Sect. I really didn't expect that at my age I could still train a monarch. Haha... Hahaha, let me have a few drinks first." The old beggar pointed at the pile of documents on the ground and motioned Tie Niu to take them away. Then he picked up the small wine flask and took a big sip directly to his mouth, with a look of satisfaction on his face.

This is also the most obvious sign when the old man is happy. Nothing can stop him from being happy.

Li Xiaocao lay on the gate with her bound feet and glanced at the parking space outside. She immediately saw Tie Niu's car. Then, she closed the bound feet door and walked directly to the lighted gatehouse. She knocked gently a few times to indicate her presence to the old beggar in the room.

"Grandpa Old Huazi, Tie...you are here, I was wondering where you went." Li Xiaocao just saw the old Huazi drinking from the wine jug, and then he saw Tie Niu bending over in the corner.

"Okay, little brat, go chat with Xiaocao. An old man like me has no right to talk to you. Haha, Xiaocao, make a pot of tea for Tieniu, he's drinking." The old beggar sat in his chair, crossed his legs, swinging back and forth, looking so leisurely.

"Grandpa, can I make you a pot of wine too?" Li Xiaocao looked at the old man with a smile. He didn't know why he was in high spirits again after having already had a little drink in the evening.

"Forget it. I'll take a nap after drinking this small pot of wine. It's a little cold today. I'll sleep more comfortably after drinking a little wine. You guys hurry over. Young people have energy. Go and talk." The old man drove them away with a smile on his face. Today, he seemed particularly happy.

"Okay then, Grandpa Laohuazi, we'll be over there then. You should drink less and go to bed early." Li Xiaocao took Tie Niu's big hand, and the two of them left Laohuazi's gatehouse one after the other and walked towards the backyard, chatting in a low voice about interesting things in the mountains as they walked.

It turned out that after Tie Niu left, the village held a big banquet for three consecutive days. Every villager was drunk, even the boys. So Aunt Jin simply ordered the remaining pork and other dishes to be distributed to the whole village, and that was the end of it.

"Aunt, please say something, otherwise if you continue someone will get drunk. I don't know why people in the village like to drink so much. They all look very happy. My godmother is never sober every day. Can you go and see her later?" Li Xiaocao directly instructed Tie Niu.

"Is godmother okay?" Tie Niu asked curiously. He didn't know why Kurisha was drinking like everyone else. "Could it be that someone embarrassed godmother?"

"Come on, forget it. Ever since my godmother said she would donate to build a school, everyone in the village would chat with her affectionately for an hour or two when they saw her, and they would not go home until it was dark. Also, when the villagers drank together, they would toast her. Alas, this little old lady is a little crazy. She accepts all the toasts and drinks till the glass is dry. It must be that she is in good health and can drink a lot, otherwise..." Li Xiaocao could not continue.

"Hehe, as long as godmother is happy, this may be his happiest moment. She is fine. She will be the energetic Kurisha again tomorrow after a good sleep." Tie Niushi knew Kurisha's lively personality, not to mention that she was happy to be with those fellow villagers in the small mountain village of her hometown.

"Yes, my godmother has a really good personality. She is always enthusiastic towards everyone, just like a long-lost relative. I said that she quickly integrated into the society after arriving in Beijing. I really need to learn from her."

"That's right. To be honest, if it weren't for my godmother's care, I would have been thrown into the sea to feed the fish. When my godmother and I escaped from the cabin, she insisted on recognizing me as her son and said that she would give all the family property to me. At that time, I didn't believe it and thought she was joking with me. Haha, you didn't expect it, did you?"

Li Xiacao stared at Tie Niu, looking at his bright eyes in the dark, and leaned closer to him.

"My godmother also told me that it was really hard to stay in the dark cabin. She thought she would never be able to get out in this lifetime. She made the decision to die in the cabin and be thrown into the sea like those others who died. She didn't expect that her wish would really be fulfilled by you. She is a person with great faith, so she made the decision." Li Xiaocao whispered in Tie Niu's ear.

"Haha, forget it. Godmother encountered a lot of pursuits along the way. If I hadn't rescued him time and time again and took her to escape from assassinations, we would have turned into a pile of bones by now. Didn't he tell you about this?" Tie Niu was thinking about what happened at that time.

"Why didn't you say it? Godmother hated that brother to death. I heard her say that he hit Helota to death with one step on the accelerator. He said you were sitting next to him. Is godmother really that cruel?" Li Xiaocao looked at Tie Niu in disbelief.

"No, Grotta brought it upon himself. Old Loran gave him wealth, but he turned his back on his kindness by imprisoning Old Loran in the basement of the bar, almost killing him. Tell me, does godmother hate him? Killing him was what Grotta deserved."

"But, I heard from my godmother that you are even more ruthless than her. You simply kill all those traitors who are chasing you, leaving no harm behind. That's why you have truly secured your position in Dark Night. Tell me about it," Li Xiaocao looked expectant.

"To be honest, I really had to be ruthless at that time. The main reason was that they really spared no mercy in their pursuit of us. Not to mention that they cut us into pieces, it seemed that they could not vent their anger. To be honest, if it was someone else with my godmother, it would really be over. Do you think I could not be ruthless to them? Why did I leave them the seeds of revenge?"

"That's true. It's the same for our Li family in the United States. In the underworld, you can only live well by killing others. Otherwise, your soft-heartedness will cause your whole family to have a bad ending. Such things are everywhere. So, the lesson for us is to cut the grass and root it out. There is no such thing as the saying that the underworld morality will not affect your family. That's all nonsense."

"Well, I don't believe in the bullshit code of conduct in the underworld. If you are a gangster, you should be prepared to be killed. If you don't make up your mind to eliminate future troubles, then one day in the future, you and your family may be eliminated by their descendants. This is the result of being a gangster. There is no such thing as a good ending in the underworld. Those who talk about morality and justice are actually thieves and prostitutes."

"Haha, the two of us really are..." Li Xiaocao stopped talking immediately when she got to this point. She almost said that they were a pair of thieves. She blushed at the thought and unconsciously grasped Tie Niu's big hand, acting like a little girl, shy. Fortunately, it was dark today.

"Why don't you say anything?" Tie Niu also understood the meaning of Li Xiaocao's words and asked teasingly.

"I just remembered that my father and mother called me today and told me that they saw many schools in dilapidated places while traveling, so they decided not to come back and build schools in various places. They thought of donating money directly to do charity work before Huaxia invests to earn some fame for themselves." Li Xiaocao quickly changed the subject.

Li Xiaocao blushed and quickly changed the subject with her parents' affairs, explaining everything that happened today to Tie Niu in detail. At the same time, she had the same idea when she made the donation to the school.
