51: Father's attitude changes

At the Genius Training Camp, after Xiao Wan left, Chu Tianjiao indeed found Old Deng and made arrangements for Mo Ce's capture.

Meanwhile, in Jiangtan City, after a day and a night of purging, the hidden Blood God Sect members were uprooted, with no hideout spared.

After the news was broadcast that evening, the people of Jiangtan City were greatly encouraged.

Yu Xiu's name became even more deeply ingrained in people's hearts.

However, the next morning, a group of students' parents, holding banners, blocked the entrance of No. 1 Middle School.

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiu's brows furrowed tightly.

According to the principal, with the 20 million martial warrior yuan Yu Xiu provided, the school compensated the students' parents a total of 30 million martial warrior yuan.

Those who died received more compensation, while those severely injured received less.

Despite this, each family received at least 200,000 martial warrior yuan, which translates to 2 million hua currency.

But judging by the current situation, these people, having received 20 million in compensation, were still not satisfied and were attempting to get more.

"Causing trouble at the school gate?"

When Yu Xiu was on the phone with the principal, his father, who was beside him, also heard.

"Indeed!"

Yu Xiu nodded. His father had mentioned apologizing to each household before. Although Yu Xiu readily agreed, it was a very difficult time, and his father's emotions were unstable, so he didn't object.

According to Yu Xiu's inner thoughts, he still leaned more towards the principal's approach.

"Because of the students' matter?"

His father looked up at Yu Xiu and asked.

"They are not satisfied with the compensation."

Yu Xiu explained, "Previously, I contributed 20 million martial warrior yuan, and the school also contributed 10 million martial warrior yuan, totaling 30 million martial warrior yuan. Each household received at least 200,000 martial warrior yuan, which is 2 million hua currency."

"2 million hua currency?"

His father was greatly surprised upon hearing this.

He recalled that when he used to work in the factory, he only earned a few thousand hua currency each month.

Now these people, receiving 20 million hua currency, were still not satisfied, which made him indignant.

"I'll go with you to see!"

Yu Xiu also had this intention.

In his understanding, his own social standing was now different, and he also needed his father to see some things clearly and change his way of handling matters.

It was a good opportunity to use this incident to let him see the greed and ugliness of human nature.

"We'll go too!"

His mother and Uncle also spoke up.

Yu Xiu nodded.

Then he took a few people to No. 1 Middle School.

From afar, they could see many people holding banners and shouting loudly.

"Grandmaster Yu, it has been thoroughly investigated."

At this moment, Qingshan walked over and explained, "These students' parents were all incited. Among them, three people, after receiving 3 million hua currency, went gambling that very night and lost everything by dawn, even incurring a debt of 1 million hua currency."

"Because of this, these three people banded together to incite other students' parents, attempting to demand more compensation."

"Moreover, one of them is not a victim's parent, but an Uncle, whose nephew came from the town to study here."

"After receiving the compensation, this Uncle has not yet informed the victim's parents, attempting to keep the compensation all to himself."

At this point, Qingshan looked at Yu Xiu's parents and others, then continued, "Grandmaster Yu, if I may be frank, the compensation you provided, based on humanitarianism, was too much."

"A little help earns gratitude, too much breeds resentment."

"A compensation of 30 million martial warrior yuan will only make these students' parents more greedy."

"Although this incident was carried out by Blood God Sect members, the perpetrators of the human bomb were the students of those classes, which means these students are already human traitors."

"Furthermore, the mayor has also provided compensation: the victims' parents will receive full subsidies from the city annually, and the victims' siblings and others can enjoy free schooling."

"But even with all this, these people are still not satisfied and want more."

"Also, you previously asked me to investigate the home addresses of these victims' parents, as you planned to go door-to-door to apologize."

"I do not agree!"

"If you do, with the greed of these people, your family will not only be harassed, but your sister and others will also be unable to live normal lives."

"If you choose to continue compensating, then these people will only become more greedy, believing you care about your reputation, and use this as a threat to demand long-term compensation, with unimaginable consequences."

"Especially those three gamblers, their greed will also grow larger and larger."

"At that time, not only will your reputation be damaged, but the city's prestige will also greatly decline."

"Because you are now the great hero promoted by the city."

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiu did not speak, but his parents and Uncle's faces changed dramatically.

"Brother, I don't agree with you asking Little Xiu to apologize to each household."

"I think this young man is right; these people are too greedy."

"When we used to work, we only earned a few thousand yuan a month, but these people are causing trouble even with tens of millions."

"Do you remember those old co-workers? When something happened to them in the factory, how much did the factory compensate? Only a hundred thousand for a death, and tens of thousands for serious injuries."

"Little Xiu has already given so much money; he has done his utmost. You asking Little Xiu to apologize is not doing good, but rather harming him."

"Little Xiu finally got through his hard times. What if he is ruined because of this matter, or unable to participate in the Martial Artist examination?"

"In short, I disagree. Little Xiu has done what he should have done; it's enough."

His mother, standing nearby, also looked at Yu Xiu's father with a resentful expression, full of dissatisfaction.

"I also don't agree with my cousin apologizing, and besides, it wasn't his fault to begin with."

"Although my cousin arranged for people to protect me and Qianqian, if the Blood God Sect had attacked using other methods, I believe the students in our class would also have been protected."

"But the current situation is that our classmates within our class initiated the human bomb; this is not my cousin's fault at all."

"Moreover, my cousin has already taken out 20 million martial warrior yuan! My parents raised me for so long, and they haven't even spent that much money!"

Everyone nodded slightly upon hearing this.

"Brother-in-law, Little Xiu really shouldn't apologize. You are putting psychological pressure on him. Your way of handling things should not be forced upon him; it's unfair to him."

His Uncle also spoke at this moment, "We are just common folk in this life. If it weren't for Little Xiu's help, we probably wouldn't have been able to become Martial Artists in this lifetime."

"But Little Xiu is different. He is now a Great Grandmaster and the hero of Jiangtan City."

"The path he will take in the future is different from ours. If he still acts with the mindset of common folk, Little Xiu will likely suffer greatly in the future."

"Since we cannot help Little Xiu, at the very least, we cannot interfere with his affairs or impose our weak-minded thoughts on him."

"Doing so will only ruin him."

His father fell silent upon hearing this.

After a long while, he finally said, "I know what you're saying is right. Little Xiu has done enough, but I always feel uncomfortable about these children losing their lives at such a young age."

"However, seeing the behavior of these parents today, I also feel very bad."

"I was wrong in my thinking. I only feel pity for these children, but I will absolutely not feel pity for these greedy parents."

"Let's go home! This matter ends here. We won't harm others, but we will absolutely not let others harm us. We are kind, but we are definitely not to be bullied."
