Chapter 6 Family Feud ()

"Child, you are old, and you should tell you some things. Actually, I am not the only one in our family. Your grandfather has three children, and you have an aunt and uncle. Just twenty-one years ago, your uncle fought with others and entered the police station because of his slight anger. But when we went to see him the next day, he had become a corpse. The forensic examination was a heart attack and he ignored the scars on his body. At that time, he was just seventeen years old like you."

"What about later? What about my grandfather and my aunt?" Stephen seemed to have heard that grandma passed away early, and grandfather pulled her father up. Stephen was not much saddened for this unmasked uncle, but the sadness in his heart became even worse.

"Because no one is willing to help us, such as the fellow country association or the mutual aid association, you are unwilling to reach out when you hear about this, your grandfather passed away soon. Your aunt went to Los Angeles in anger, studied while working, got into college, became a lawyer, and was pursuing this matter. But the final result was just a forensic dereliction of duty. In the end, your aunt was discouraged and refused to show up again. My father had not seen your aunt for more than ten years. However, a few days ago, someone said that your aunt was asking about our news, and they also told him our contact information, and they might contact us soon."

"Father, why is this happening? How can we avoid it?" Hearing that similar things had happened at home, Stephen forgot to tell his father what happened later.

"Children, there are two reasons for this. One is skin color, and they are not the same as them. Most judges and jury members are white. The second is that we are poor. In most eyes, black people are gangsters, robbers, addicts, and poor people. If you walk on the street with glamour, even if you take the initiative to go to the police, the police will only respond with a smile, because this is a society where money is paramount. As long as you have money, you are God. No matter what race you are, no one will discriminate against you."

"Do you have money? You have to be glamorous?" Stephen understood a little, but it was not clear. But there was still something that must be asked. In order not to worry about his father, Stephen did not plan to tell his father about the matter in the institute, but how to deal with it, he still had to ask his father: "By the way, father, what should he do if he doesn't want them to track him down?"

"What's wrong with hiding his name and walking far away?" Shi Xiangdong asked strangely.

"Oh, Johnny said those two policemen might have suspected that someone had seen them commit crimes and then tracked down on us." Stephen was also worried about the supporters behind the institute. In comparison, the threats from the two policemen were nothing.

"It's very possible. Don't go out or go to the restaurant to help in the next few days. Just stay at home and let me see what's going on." Shi Xiangdong's face also became solemn. With his younger brother's experience in front of him, he didn't dare to worry that his son was taken to the police station.

Stephen stayed at home for three consecutive days. Although his father bought electric power for his son, such a young man had been holding it at home forever. Now, as long as Stephen had a little thought, he felt like he wanted to smash everything at home.

Could it be the sequelae of that kind of strong potion? Stephen couldn't help looking around in a daze. Could it be that he would eventually develop into a monster that was inhumane and killed whenever he saw people? But he didn't know who to ask for advice on this matter?

That night, Stephen's father returned home and solemnly discussed with Stephen's mother for a while, and then came to Stephen's room: "Child, it's really like you said. Two policemen came to the store to ask about your situation. I said you were recuperating at home, and they left without saying anything. The appearance of the two people is very consistent with what you described. At the same time, I also asked Johnny, and just two days ago, he had signed up for the army."

"Ah, then I'll join the army too?" Stephen suddenly thought that he could join the army too. Under the protection of the military, he was not afraid of police investigation, and with his own physical conditions, he could play a better role in the army.

"No, our immigration procedures are not very formal. Once strictly reviewed, the police will be prosecuted for forging documents." Stephen's father almost said that they were illegal immigrants. Stephen knew that their family's information showed that they immigrated from Mexico, but what he heard in his father was that they were in the United States since his grandfather.

"Your aunt called today. She was in poor health. She had no relatives there. I hope you can come and take care of her and go through the legal procedures. If there is anything unexpected to her, those assets will not be cheaper. I originally planned to listen to your opinions and reply to her. Since such a thing happened, you will leave tomorrow. I told your mother that I am crying in the house now. Go and comfort her."

After saying that, Shi Xiangdong's face dimmed. He only had such a son, and asked him to fly away. It was false to say that he would be willing to do so. However, if he didn't, his son might be in danger. It was precisely under such a reason that Mari Nancy agreed.

After comforting his mother in the middle of the night, he secretly took the 20,000 dollars he gave him. Stephen then realized that the dollars he had taken out of the institute were placed in the drawer. He went back to the room and counted it. It was about 50,000, and if it was added to one, it would be 70,000 dollars.

Although I thought of leaving the money to my parents, I didn't know what happened when I got there. Stephen was a little confused about this aunt who had never heard of and had never seen before. He said that he wanted to inherit the property and not have any debts to repay them.

After packing his casual items into the suitcase, Stephen kissed his mother on the face. With his mother's reluctance to take a seat on his father's second-hand Ford pickup truck and headed towards Charlotte International Airport.

On the way, my father changed his usual inseparable from being close to Stephen, and he was tirelessly reminding Stephen of various precautions, as well as his aunt Shi Xianghua's temper and personality, etc. When he walked to a bank, Stephen asked his father to stop the car and then deposited the dollars he had on his account, leaving only a thousand dollars in cash.

After arriving at the airport, the father was busy completing various procedures for Stephen. After finishing his work, Stephen's father was already out of breath. After handing the air ticket and ID to Stephen, Shi Xiangdong patted his son's shoulder and said, "When you come to your aunt, you must listen to your aunt. If you don't want to come back, just do it. If you are doing well, take your parents over and call your family more when you have time, your mother will miss you very much."

"Dad, do you miss me?" Stephen also felt a deep nostalgia in his heart. He had never left his parents for more than twenty-four hours since he was a child. Only this time, but he had to separate from his parents.

"I can do it too, hurry up and leave. Remember to call us when you get there." Stephen's father turned his head and wiped his eyes, then patted Stephen hard on his body as if embarrassed, and asked Stephen to leave early.

Stephen dragged his suitcase and walked a long distance. Looking back, he could see his father looking at him. Seeing himself turning back, he waved to himself, turned around with great difficulty and left first.

The plane quickly passed through the United States from east to west and landed at the Parmdale Regional Airport in Los Angeles. After leaving the airport, Stephen looked around blankly and looked at the unfamiliar environment around him. A hint of panic flashed through his heart, but when he thought of his own experience, he quickly calmed down.

According to the address given by his father, Stephen called a taxi and drove towards the Malibu neighborhood. As soon as he entered this community, a sense of luxury immediately came to his face. The houses here are all villa-level and styles. My aunt wouldn't live here, right? This is a obviously wealthy area. Even according to the housing prices in Charlotte, each house here is more than hundreds of thousands of dollars. It is said that the housing prices in Los Angeles and New York are the most expensive in the United States, so it should be millions.

The car kept driving in the community. It took a long time to find Aunt Stephen’s address: No. 103, Lanx Street, Malibu Community. Looking at the mansion that was a little old, but definitely not small, Stephen was so surprised that he almost forgot to tip the taxi driver.

The house in front of me is only two floors, but like most houses in the United States, it has a huge basement and is very large, with about 200 square meters per floor, with large lawns in front and back, a garage on the left and a swimming pool on the right.

It seems that my aunt from now on is doing well. She has such a big house. After touching her head, Stephen smiled. The aunt gave her a very shocking feeling. Stephen thought that she was just a little wealthy, but she didn't expect she would be so rich.

Stephen never expected that in the window on the second floor, a cold eye had already seen him, but when he saw Stephen touching his childish behavior, his eyes showed a little warmth.

As soon as Stephen pressed the doorbell, the door opened. A black pale face flashed and returned to it. Stephen couldn't help but shrink his neck, and he was so cold. Thinking that he might have to live with such an indifferent aunt, Stephen suddenly felt a little wrong.

When Stephen sat in front of Shi Xianghua, Shi Xianghua's attitude still did not change. He still looked at Stephen with condescending sternness, as if facing a prisoner. Stephen quickly tightened his clothes and looked around again. It made no sense. When he got off the bus, he thought the temperature was very high, so why is it so cold now?
