Before he could do how many days to collect the waste, this inexplicable incident of being beaten, arrested and compensated for happened, which made Chen Long extremely depressed and uncomfortable. The debt of 8,000 yuan seems to have fallen from the sky, and there are also hundreds of yuan of illegal modified tricycles and overweight transportation penalties...... The key is that the tricycle is required to remove the battery that has been installed illegally, so that he cannot travel well to collect waste items, and the income from this work will be greatly reduced......

Also depressed and uncomfortable was Old Man Shen, who had simply taken in Long Chen to help him out of kindness, but he didn't expect Xiang to help...... Such an incident happened, which made him unjustly saddled with a huge debt, and he was also implicated......

When he came back from the police station after handling everything, Old Man Shen tried his best to comfort Long Chen. Of course, Chen Long also repeatedly promised him that he would work hard to collect the old and make money, first return the more than 3,000 yuan he helped to him, and then repay the 5,000 yuan on the IOU...... Old man Shen said that he believed him and would not ask him to repay the three thousand first, and the five-yuan IOU would be repaid first. The key is that his wife must not know about this matter, otherwise it will lead to unnecessary questions and quarrels......

In the past few days, the collection of waste has been carried back and forth by pushing a tricycle, not to mention that it is a lot of hard work, the key is that the action has been seriously slowed down, so the money earned is much less. It's not the way to go on like this!

It was already noon, and Chen Long came back with a cart full of scrap. Quickly back to the vicinity of the shantytown, it was a short uphill road, and Chen Long used all his strength to slowly push the car up. In the past, if the old couple saw it, they would trot over to help push it, but today I didn't see the old couple. But when a young woman sitting outside the door of the shantytown saw this, she immediately got up and walked over quickly to help him push him from behind the car......

"Thank you, thank you......"

When he pushed the car to the vicinity of the shantyhouse and parked it, Chen Long was so excited that he thanked him repeatedly.

"No thanks, you're welcome, just a push. The woman smiled at him.

"Are you...... Are you here to find Uncle Shen and Aunt Lu? Aren't they there?"

"Oh, Aunt Lu is my aunt, and I am her niece. My aunt drove a tricycle out to pull the waste, and my aunt went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables...... Sit down and wait for a while, and then call your car old when they come back. The woman said and brought a chair to Long Chen.

"Thank you, I don't sit, you sit. Chen Long said, pointing to the faucet by the shed, "I'll wash my hands......

"Well, then you can do it. The woman kept smiling at him.

Chen Long walked to the faucet, no longer caring about the woman's presence, he took off the old clothes on his upper body that were already soaked with sweat, turned on the faucet to rinse the clothes thoroughly, wrung out the water bento and wiped the sweat all over his body like a towel...... After washing his face and rinsing his hands and feet repeatedly, he turned off the faucet, wrung out his clothes again, and hung his hands on a bamboo pole next to him.

Then he went into the shantytown, where he had made a makeshift bed, looking for clothes......

I found the upper body clothes and was about to put them on, but I saw the woman walk in from the outside.

"What's the matter, you live here?" the woman asked curiously.

"Oh. This is my temporary residence, and it was your aunt and uncle who took me in. Chen Long replied to her.

"Oh, I see, I thought you came in for something. The woman said and quickly withdrew embarrassedly.

After putting on the clothes, Chen Long walked out, and after washing and resting, he felt much more comfortable, and he began to put down the waste items on the tricycle to sort and sort.

At this time, the woman sat on a chair next to her and watched Long Chen.

Chen Long was busy sorting and sorting waste items, and his curiosity caused him to occasionally look up at the woman, and only then did he notice that the woman's face was dressed......

He should be about the same age as him, wearing a long dress with beige flowers and pale white crystal sandals. The newly trimmed and slightly dyed red hair did not wear any accessories, and it looked more energetic with her round face. The shining golden jade pendant worn on both ears and a silver-white chain around her neck showed her noble temperament......

Noticing that Chen Long looked up at herself from time to time, the woman was a little uncomfortable and embarrassed, so she stood up from the chair, walked up to Chen Long, and carefully squatted down to help him sort out the waste items: "I'll help you." ”

"No, I don't need your help, such a dirty job will stain your hands and skirt. Chen Long's face was full of embarrassment, and he hurriedly stopped her.

"It's okay, it's boring to be idle anyway, just be careful. The woman insisted.

"How could I be embarrassed...... Then I thank you in advance. ”

"You're welcome. Let me introduce myself, my name is Lu Tingting, from K City, Province F, which is my aunt's. I've been in this provincial capital for less than half a year, so I'm not very familiar with it. Lu Tingting first introduced herself generously.

"Oh, so glad to meet you. Let me also introduce to you, my name is Chen Long, and I am from G County in this province. I'm much later than I came, it's not been a month yet. ”

"Haha, we're all new here, so let's make friends, and we'll take care of each other and help each other in the future. ”

"Okay, but you're much better than me, and if you want to take care of help, maybe I'm counting on you more. ”

"Joke, I'm a weak woman, how can I be as strong as a big man like you? But I wonder why you are a handsome young man, why don't you do a better, easier and cleaner job, why do you have to do this job of picking up rags and not making much money?"

"Well, who wouldn't want to do an easy, clean, and lucrative job? ”

"What's going on, there's no one stopping you from doing it, right? unless you don't want to do it or for some special reason...... Can you tell me?"

"You're right, my ID card is gone, and it's hard to find a job there without an ID card now. ”

"Why don't you have an ID card? Lost it? Why don't you just go back and get a replacement one?"

"Alas...... It's only been a short time since I lost it, so I'll go back to it after a few days when it gets better. ”

"Oh. Why did you lose your ID card so carelessly! Also, it is difficult to move an inch without an ID card now, and it is inconvenient to do anything, let alone find a job!"

"Have you found anything more lucrative than this job that doesn't require an ID card than picking up rags, introduce me to one, just like I just said to help with mutual photos, and now I need your help." ”

"This ...... Let me think. Lu Tingting thought for a while, "For example, delivery of couriers, takeaways, and part-time part-time jobs, such as washing dishes in restaurants and hotels, as well as water and electricity maintenance, handling, or something...... I think there are a lot of jobs for you men!"

"Hehe, thank you very much for giving me so many good job suggestions at once. Let me judge, if you want to have a car to deliver express delivery, you must be very familiar with the provincial capital. I know a little bit about plumbing and electricity maintenance, and at home I do it myself. It takes strength to carry it, and I have ...... that strength It's just that I still feel like I need to have an ID card, and the key is that I don't even have a mobile phone number now......"

"Oh, I thought of one, setting up a stall to shine shoes!" Speaking of setting up a stall to shine shoes, Lu Tingting's eyes seemed to light up, "You know, because of my low culture, I just came here for two months, and I didn't find a suitable job anywhere, and then I saw that the business of shoe shine on the street stall is very good, so I tried to buy some shoe polish and tools to go to the street to set up a stall with others, hehe, guess what? I can earn hundreds of yuan every day!"

"Then why didn't you do it later?"

"Because I got a better job. However, although I can earn some money by shining shoes, I am quite dirty and tired, and sometimes I feel that the work is very lowly and ......."

"And what good job did you get after?"

"That's what I do as a hospital escort now. It was when I went to the hospital when I was sick, and I accidentally found that there were some seriously ill and special patients in the hospital, and the family members of special patients were always looking for someone to accompany and take care of their relatives...... Although this kind of work is also tiring and the working hours are long, the salary is quite high......"

"Yes, then you can introduce me to the hospital to do this kind of escort work, I'm not afraid of being tired, it doesn't matter if I work long hours, as long as I can earn more money, I can do anything!"

"Hehe, you're not going crazy about money, are you? Okay, I'll help you inquire when I go back to work in the hospital. This kind of work doesn't happen all the time, and it has to happen to happen. In addition, some patients are difficult to care for, some patients' families may not be paid high, and some patients' families may be very picky about you and you...... Recently, I met a person who had never been angry...... Alas, don't say it, I'm afraid you won't be able to stand it, so you won't dare to do it. ”

"It's okay, I can stand it, I'm a big guy from the countryside. 'Take people's bowls and be managed by others', it's normal to be scolded by others for not doing well in receiving other people's wages......"

"Hehe, it's very easy for you to say, if you have the opportunity to do it, you can really feel the taste of it! Sometimes, I really want to go back to the street to set up a stall and shine shoes to earn money and be free......

Chen Long and Lu Tingting were chatting happily while sorting waste items. At this time, Old Man Shen drove his tricycle full of scrap, and Aunt Lu came back one after the other with a few bags of Qinglai or something she bought at the vegetable market.

Seeing that the people were back, Lu Tingting stopped helping Chen Long and went to the shanty kitchen with her aunt to cook.

Old man Shen parked the car and came over to help Chen Long sort the waste. After a while, Aunt Lu went out to the door of the shantytown and shouted at Old Man Shen: "Old Shen, come back, I have something to look for you!"

Old man Shen glanced over, reluctantly dropped the waste in his hand, and followed his wife back to the shantytown.

"How much money do you have now?" asked the old man as soon as she entered the shantytown.

"What do you want money for?

"You don't care who I give it to!"

"Why are you like this, old woman! Why do you spoil your Tingting so much? Every time you ask you for money, you give it, and you don't ask her how she spends it! She has always had her own job, why can't she even support herself!"

"Why do you old man say that about my child...... This time, she really wants money to treat the children at home, and if she doesn't give the money back soon, the children in the family are afraid that they will not even die!"

"The last time I said I wanted money to treat my child, and I asked for money to treat my child's illness, and I did it every time! It's been so many times and so long, and I'm going to die early! She asked you for money to spend it yourself, and treating your child is just an excuse!"

"No! This time I won't give it to her directly, I'm going to go to the bank to transfer it back to her home, that's it, or you can go with me! Just now she also directly let me watch the child being treated in the hospital, really sick so seriously and pitiful......" The old lady said, tears welling up in her eyes.

"I don't have any money on me now, and I spent all of it just now to collect this old car. ”

"How much money can you use to collect this car of rags? Don't lie to me...... If you don't have it on you, then I'll go to the bank with you to get it, and just turn it around to her home by the way, lest you say I gave her flowers. ”

"I'm not going!"

"You're not going, okay, you give me the bank card, I'll go myself!"

"Oh, I said that you old woman is crazy, so she pesters me to death? I tell you, I won't give you this money today!"

"Dead old man, do you want to see death and not save it? That's also a child in our family! No, you have to give this money today, and you have to give it if you don't give it! I'm going to make a decision!"

"Then you can ask for yourself!"

Old man Shen dropped this sentence and walked out without looking back.

Mrs. Lu followed closely to the door and shouted to him: "Dead old man, you come back for me!"

Old man Shen ignored the old woman's shouting, walked up to Long Chen, squatted down, and began to sort the waste.

"Uncle Shen, what's the matter, Aunt Lu is calling you. Chen Long had a premonition that something was wrong and asked.

"Don't pay attention to her, an unreasonable and brainless old woman! Chen Long, wait a minute, finish sorting this waste car and hurry up to the scales, and then arrange your work after eating." ”

"Okay. Chen Long responded.

At this time, the old woman had already walked up to Old Man Shen, snatched the old ones from his hands with one hand, threw them aside and scolded him: "Dead old man, if you ask you to take the money, you will pretend to be deaf and dumb for me, right?

"If you want money, you can find a way to go yourself!"

"Why should I find a way to do it myself? How do you tell me to find a way? Let me steal and rob it? Are you unreasonable? I also have a copy of the money in the bank card! It's a big deal, I'll only take my share and transfer it back, right?"

"The money is gone!

"What? The money is gone? What do you mean by that? Are you lying to me, or are you using the money somewhere? Don't lie to me that we haven't made any money during this time!" the old woman was so nervous that she was about to cry.

"I spent it all somewhere else......"

"What? Did you really spend it? Spend it all? Where did the money go?"

“......”

"You dead old man, you don't smoke, you don't drink, you don't prostitute or gamble, where can you spend your money? I don't believe it! Today, at this life-and-death juncture of curing diseases and saving people, you can't even save you when you see death, are you still human? You get up for me, and go get the money for me!" The old woman finally yelled at him with tears streaming down her eyes.

Old Man Shen didn't answer her, and he didn't dare to look into her eyes anymore, just squatted on the ground in a daze......

In this kind of scene, it seems that there is no need to hide the truth of the matter, Chen Long finally couldn't help it, he stood up, walked up to Aunt Lu, and lowered his head like a child who had done something wrong and said frankly to her: "Aunt Lu, I'm very sorry, Uncle Shen spent all his money on me a few days ago......"

"Long Chen, don't say it!" Old Man Shen shouted at Long Chen.

"Uncle Shen, let's not hide it, let me tell the story. Chen Long insisted on himself, "Aunt Lu, please listen patiently to me tell me about the situation......

Chen Long briefly told Aunt Lu what happened a few days ago, and Aunt Lu listened almost dumbfounded.

"Oh my God, what have you all done!" Aunt Lu said this, tears suddenly flowed out of her eyes, and she turned around and walked back to the shantyhouse.

Chen Long hurriedly followed and said to her, "Aunt Lu, don't worry, I will definitely return the money that Uncle Shen helped me pay back as soon as possible." ”

"It's so easy for you to say, how can you pay it back? What do you take? Now is the time when I need the money the most, and you ...... We were kind enough to take you in and help you, but you hurt us like this......"

"Aunt Lu, I'm really sorry......"

"What's the use of being sorry? you hurry up, what can you do to make more money faster, you can do it immediately, return the money to me, I am in a hurry to use the money!" Aunt Lu shouted at Chen Long, and then walked into the house crying loudly.

At this time, Old Man Shen walked up to Long Chen and said, "Long Chen, don't listen to what she says to you, with me, nothing matters! And with that, he went into the shantytown.

“...... You old thing, you spend all your money on outsiders, and you are reluctant to leave a little to treat your relatives, are you still human...... Woohoo......"

Aunt Lu's crying and complaining came from the house, like a sharp knife stabbing Chen Long's heart, making him extremely stinging and uncomfortable. This pair of old husbands and wives who are usually affectionate and loving and laughing actually quarreled because of him today, and they cried very sadly!

After standing in a daze for more than a minute, Long Chen suddenly turned around, picked up two plastic tables from the side of the shanty, and walked out.

At this time, Lu Tingting, who didn't know when she had been standing next to the shantytown, hurriedly strode up, followed behind Chen Long and asked him, "Chen, Chen Long, what are you going to do here?"

"I'm going to shine my shoes! I'm going to make money to pay your aunt back." ”

"Hehe, you're thinking too simply, okay, you decide to go, I'll go with you, you don't know how to wipe it, I'll teach you ......."

"Don't follow me, go back and comfort your aunt. It's all my fault, it's all my fault!"

“......”

......
