Chapter II: The Importance of Legal Status

It's like everyone knows that it must be hard to start over abroad, and they are even ready to endure hardships for a long time.

But when I really went abroad, I realized that this kind of suffering is not just physical or mental fatigue, but the suffering of being unaccompanied, illiterate, unable to speak, and unable to hear.

It's a kind of suffering that you can't complain to domestic people, and you can't find people around you to solve it!

In the first year of his arrival, every time Lin Guodong returned to New York, he lived on the sofa in the living room of this relative's house.

Although he came back once a month or two every time, after a long time, Lin Guodong could always vaguely feel that his relatives and family were not welcome. The point is that the conditions of this relative's house are not particularly good.

The couple has three children, all of whom are about the same age as Lin Guodong, and the eldest son has already talked about the object, and he brought his girlfriend and parents to 6 people to huddle in a ZF building that was transformed into a three-bedroom apartment.

In order to avoid causing inconvenience to his relatives, Lin Guodong chose to stay in the private hotels scattered around Chinatown from the second year.

It is said to be a hotel, but in fact it is very different from the concept of the word hotel. These are more like collective rental houses, which are some bunks that are not much bigger than the sleepers of the green train, 20~30 US dollars a night, there are four to six beds in a room, each bed is two or three bunks up and down, the gap between the bunks is only enough for people to move forward sideways, and the bunks can only lie down with a cat waist.

But because these people are all able to take the night train back to New York after work, most of the time they go from out-of-state to New York at one or two o'clock in the morning, and some of them come back and send money and have to go out-of-state that night, so it is good to find such a place to make up for a night rest.

But even if it is such a bunk, some people are reluctant to spend money to live in it, and if it is summer, they will find a deck chair in the park and spend the night casually.

It's just that most of the restaurant workers who came back from other states are rich, because they are afraid of being robbed, Lin Guodong never dares to sleep in the park outside.

So as soon as he got off the bus the night before, Lin Guodong went to stay at the small hotel he usually went to New York.

Holding his money bag and reclining on the $30 rented bunk, Lin Guodong couldn't close his eyes.

He didn't dare to sleep, he recently heard that someone was stealing the money of their masters who came back from work, he had to be vigilant!

Parents are forced by snakes to have no choice, and the girlfriend of a long-distance relationship has to find a way to take care of it, and the female ticket said before coming back this time, I can't live such a day, and I want to break up!

Lin Guodong thought to himself, didn't he just change his way to ask him for some money, when he sent it to his parents this time, he also sent her a little bit, people had been waiting for him for so long!

Despite a tiring day and almost three hours of sitting in a minibus, he was so tired that he couldn't move, and his eyelids could barely open, but he still didn't dare to sleep, holding his eyelids, holding his mobile phone and flipping through his favorite online novels.

"X's, what time is it, and you still don't let people sleep, you still have your phone on?" Suddenly, in addition to the snoring sound one after another, a rough voice with resentment suddenly said to him.

"Oh, I'm sorry, turn it off immediately!" Lin Guodong was so frightened that his hands shook and quickly turned off the phone screen. Thinking that it was almost three o'clock in the morning, it was early in the summer, maybe it would be okay for him to squint for a while, anyway, his mobile phone set an alarm clock, and he would get up and leave here at half past five at the latest, thinking about it, Lin Guodong fell asleep in exhaustion.

There are always things in this world that the more you don't want it to happen, the more you are afraid of happening, the more it will happen!

"What kind of hotel are you, our money is lost here, and you, the boss, will be responsible!" said one of them, with a loud voice, while pushing the manager who opened the door for them last night.

"Oh, we don't know anyone here, how can you blame me! Why don't you take care of your own finances!" The boss is a native of Fuzhou, and his accent is the same as their hometown.

Lin Guodong woke up in a noise, dizzy, his ears buzzed with a lot of abuse and shouting, as well as helpless suppressed crying, he tried to open his still heavy eyelids, looking at everything around him blankly, not knowing what was going on!

"What's going on?" he sat up on the edge of the bed, and remembered that the bunk could not sit up straight, so he carefully bent his waist and saw that the room was in a mess, with all kinds of noise and invective.

"Then I don't care, we lost it here, you have to be responsible, you are not safe here, what kind of hotel do you open!" Another person who lost money also walked up and pushed the boss.

"That's it, your hotel is responsible!"

"I don't care, you have to help us get the money back, otherwise, we won't leave, and you don't want to open this black hotel!"

The people in the room were babbling one by one, and they were noisy and noisy around the boss. Lin Guodong was instantly enlightened: "Lost money, they lost money, what about my money?" Lin Guodong hurriedly looked down at the backpack he pressed on his stomach. The backpack was still pressed on his stomach, and he just wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, when he suddenly felt something, and exclaimed in fright: "Ah! My money!" "Bang!", Lin Guodong's head hit the bed board of the upper bunk.

"You lost your money, too, I thought you slept so well that you had no money to lose!" muttered to a man who heard him and looked at him sympathetically.

"Oh my God, what can I do about this!" Lin Guodong's voice was already crying. This is the salary he has saved for three months! After repaying this money, the money he owes the smuggler will be almost repaid, and his parents will no longer have to be threatened and frightened by the smuggler in China, but now that this money has been stolen like this, what face does he have to live in this world!

Thinking of this, Lin Guodong immediately looked at the bunk opposite him, which was the bunk of the person who told him to turn off his mobile phone last night.

"Where is this person?" Lin Guodong quickly got up from the bed, and when he got up, his body almost fell to the ground due to vertigo, and his fingers trembled and pointed to the person's bunk and shouted.

"Do you know this person?" said someone in surprise.

"No, I don't know, he was awake when I slept, it must be him, he must have stolen our money!Boss, where did this person go?" everyone watched Lin Guodong rush to the boss like a madman, shaking the boss's body and shouting.

"Hey, how do I know where he went! This man paid for the accommodation, and it wasn't very dawn when he left, and he didn't sleep when you said you slept, what time was it?" the boss looked thoughtful.

"Around three o'clock, I slept at about three o'clock, when did that person leave? It must be this person who stole our money, boss, do you have any surveillance here? We must find this person, we must get the money back!" Lin Guodong shouted excitedly.

"It's three o'clock, what time is it? It's three o'clock in the afternoon!" said the boss.

"We must have fallen asleep because of that man's incense!" someone alarmed.

"yes, yes, it must be so!" the others chimed in.

"Then monitor it, I can guarantee that it must be this person!" Lin Guodong shouted.

"Yes, just adjust the surveillance, it must be this person!" the others also said nonsense.

"This, this, we have a small shop here, where is there surveillance! Besides, even if there is surveillance, where are we going to find someone!"

"If there is surveillance and images, go to the police! Let the police arrest people!" everyone immediately replied.

"Report ... Call the police, big brothers, let's not say that my small inn is a black shop is not legal, even if I am legal here, is your money legal? Is your identity legitimate?" The boss looked constipated, but the words he said made the originally noisy small hotel immediately become silent.
