Chapter 15 Gang Recruitment

Chapter 15 Gang Recruitment
Early in the morning, Zhou You got up and had breakfast.

He stayed at home for one night and returned to the martial arts gym in the morning.

Although my parents were reluctant to let me go, they also knew that learning martial arts was of utmost importance right now and it affected the well-being of the whole family.

Widow Li pushed the door open and came in, bringing a plate of pickles enthusiastically.

"Xiao Zhou is back. Try the pickles that came out of the jar yesterday."

Zhou You heard from his parents yesterday that Widow Li often comes to their house to bring food and drinks these days, and her attitude is more enthusiastic than before.

Don't think that's her nature.

A widow with a child set up a stall in the city and had the support of Constable Liu, which shows that she was not an ordinary weak woman.

In the past, when Widow Li closed her stall, the soup and water would never leak into her neighbors’ homes.

Now the relationship between the two families is very good.

“How salty are the pickles?”

Widow Li looked at Zhou You with a complicated expression.

In her memory, Zhou You was a quiet boy who inherited his father Zhou's quiet and dutiful character and never caused trouble.

It's really not his fault that he offended Tu Lao San. It was simply because the other party was too bullying.

Last night, Constable Liu came to her house to spend the night and mentioned to her in person the incident of Zhou You killing a refugee with his bare hands.

This is really exciting for ordinary people.

Detective Liu urged her to make friends with Zhou You's parents, but Widow Li said it was inappropriate.

"What if he is kicked out of the martial arts school three months later and Tu Lao San takes revenge?"

"From a woman's perspective, even if he can't become a martial arts school, Zhou You can still kill five or six strong martial artists. How can Tu Lao San easily control him? Believe it or not, the Crazy Horse Gang will definitely step in to recruit him."

Constable Liu sighed, "The world is getting more and more chaotic. As long as you dare to fight, you don't have to worry about not being able to find a place to eat."

He also revealed to Widow Li that if Zhou You could not stay in the martial arts hall, she would ask him to be her subordinate as a constable.

Widow Li then realized that the boy next door had become a remarkable person.

Zhou You took two bites of the pickles, which were fresh, crisp and refreshing. He nodded and said, "Delicious."

Widow Li breathed a sigh of relief and started chatting with Zhou Youniang who was standing beside her.

The topic of conversation was the family of Mou Laoyao, our neighbor on the right.

Ever since the falling out that day, the Mou family and the Zhou family have stopped talking to each other and pretended not to see each other when they met.
After Mou Xiaoli recovered from his injuries, he returned to the hotel and continued to work as a waiter. It was said that he was very valued and his monthly salary had been increased to 3 taels.

Mou Laoyao was planning to buy a clean girl from the refugees while more and more people from other places were coming.
Of course, he didn’t marry her, but rather a concubine, to give Mou Xiaoli a son to carry on the family line.

According to their family's plan, Mou Xiaoli will marry a daughter from a well-off family in the future, and the girl's family should at least be a well-off family in the city.

"How dare you think that? Mou Xiaoli looks so ugly, he doesn't even look one percent like Xiao Zhou."

"Marry a concubine? You really think you are a wealthy family!"

"He is a miser who talks big but spends little money. He is reluctant to spend money."

Widow Li shook her head as she spoke, "I heard that they liked a girl from a family, but they were very stingy in offering her only 2 taels of silver."

"You keep dragging your feet and refusing to talk, just waiting for the other party to become too hungry to bear it, so that you can reduce another ounce."

Zhou Youniang blinked when she heard this, "This is too stingy!"

"What does their family look like? It's not the first day we've known each other."

The Mou Laoyao family is stingy and miserly. They always step back when something happens and rush to the front to take advantage of others.

In the past, out of consideration for the friendly relationship between the neighbors, I didn’t say much. But now, of course, I will say whatever I want to say.

Zhou You finished his breakfast in a few bites and patted his belly, "Mom, I'm going to the martial arts gym."

Mother stood up and walked him to the door, and Widow Li followed behind and watched him leave.

"Auntie Zhou, you are blessed. Little Zhou will definitely have a bright future." "This child, I am so blessed that I can worry less!"

When Zhou You reached the intersection, he could not go any further because the street was blocked.

"The Wild Fox Gang and the Crazy Horse Gang are fighting. Stay away from them. It's better to take a detour than to get into trouble."

Pedestrians covered their hats and ran away, fearing that they would be involved in the conflict between the two gangs.

Zhou You wondered how he could let him go. The road leading to the martial arts gym was right in front of him. Could he be asked to climb over the wall?
After waiting for a while, the crowd in front became agitated and gradually dispersed.

There was a lot of thunder but little rain. After a long time of arguing, the two gangs finally did not fight.

"Zhou You, what a coincidence. I was just about to go to your house to look for you."

When his old friend Gao Qiang saw him, he walked over quickly, followed by a few minions, and he seemed to be a small leader as well.

Zhou You pursed his lips and said stiffly, "I'm just about to go to the martial arts hall. What's going on?"

"Of course I have something to say. Let's talk at my house."

Gao Qiang's parents both passed away, leaving him only a shabby house, which has now become one of the territories of the Crazy Horse Gang.

Zhou You had been here before. Although it was shabby, it was not as smoky and foul as it is now.
Some lower-level gang members were surrounding the house. When they saw Gao Qiang coming back, they all bowed and said, "Brother Qiang."

"I now have more than a dozen brothers under my command."

Gao Qiang looked very pleased with himself and introduced to Zhou You that he was doing well in the gang.

Entering the house...

"Zhou You, we are good friends who are as close as brothers. You will be the first one I think of when something good happens."

Gao Qiang clenched his fist and punched the air. The sound of the air breaking was shocking, with a force of at least three hundred kilograms.

This is not his normal level!

"To be honest, the treatment in our Crazy Horse Gang is pretty good. After joining, you can also learn boxing and improve your strength."

"I learned the wild horse boxing taught by the gang leader. It was effortless to knock down seven or eight strong men in one breath."

Zhou You smiled and said, "It's a bit of a stretch with your strength. But everyone can brag!"
However, the information revealed by the other party is very interesting.

There are also boxing techniques circulating within the gang, and a system exists to train gang members to practice martial arts and improve their strength.

It seems that the Crazy Horse Gang, which has been rampant until now, is not the mob and loose group as imagined.

If you want to win him over just based on this, you are underestimating Zhou You and the martial arts school's background.

"Sorry, the martial arts school has rules. Apprentices are not allowed to interact with gang members."

Zhou You glanced at Gao Qiang and said, "It's better if we don't see each other as much as possible in the future."

Gao Qiang smiled and shook his head, "That was just a lie."

"The martial arts school accepts so many apprentices every year, where do the ones who are eliminated go?"

"After learning martial arts and mastering strength, I will no longer be content to farm or work like a slave."

"Many of the leaders of our Crazy Horse Gang came from martial arts schools, where they lived a life of luxury and wealth."

Seeing that Zhou You didn't believe him, Gao Qiang gritted his teeth and dragged out a wooden box from under the bed. When he opened it, he found a rectangular black medicine block.

The medicine block is as smooth as jade and emits a faint medicinal fragrance. It is obvious at first glance that it is not an ordinary item.

"Bone Strengthening Powder is our sect's secret medicine. It can only be rewarded if you have made great contributions."

"This is the condition set by the Second Elder. If you leave the martial arts hall after three months, you can join our Crazy Horse Gang."

"These three portions of Bone Strengthening Powder are the deposit."

"I'm tempted by such a good offer. Just agree to it. We can still be good brothers after joining the gang."
