There are a lot of round-trip Greyhound buses from Los Angeles to San Francisco, so you don't have to worry about not catching the bus, Su Mu set off with Li Ping'an after breakfast, and his father Su Dingcai drove a broken pickup truck to send them to the bus station.

Due to the different consumption concepts, the new immigrants will feel that the car is a symbol of identity and status, such as the Su family, the Li family and other early immigrants descendants, who have been influenced by American culture for a long time, and it is difficult to understand the thoughts of these new immigrants.

Su Mu didn't feel embarrassed that his father drove an old car, and Li Ping'an didn't think either, he thought that cars were used to drive, except for rich people who have a special hobby for cars, no one would buy luxury cars.

Even the super-rich are the same, Steve Jobs often rode his motorcycle to work, and Su Mu met him once on the road, but unfortunately he didn't have a chance to speak.

The United States has the largest used car market in the world, and many children receive used cars as adults, and the first gift they receive when they become adults is a used car, which may have rust on the body, but many children still like it.

Some people don't think so, at this moment, Su Dingcai just parked the car outside the station, and was about to send his son and Li Ping'an to buy tickets, when suddenly, a car behind slammed into their car, and the old pickup truck shook and made a collision sound.

After a while, a fat man with a gold chain on his hand and a leather bag under his arm walked over, took off his sunglasses and looked at the broken pickup, showing a look of contempt.

Immediately found out that Su Dingcai was also a yellow race, and immediately had confidence, this station is close to Chinatown, and there are the most Chinese passengers.

His face was unhappy, and he scolded in Cantonese: "What kind of car are you driving? Do you know if you hit me and treat me! I haven't bought insurance for my new car, and I've lost money!"

"Pingzhi" is the name of Mercedes-Benz on the side of Xiangjiang and Aomen, mainlanders will not read it like this, Su Mu thinks it should be Xiangjiang people, after all, the population of Aomen is too small, it is difficult to meet.

Su Dingcai turned off the engine and pulled out the key, only to hear the sound of the car being hit, and after getting out of the car, he said good-naturedly: "Where did I hit you, is it possible that the car can still move after pulling the handbrake?

When he found out that it was indeed Chinese, he became even more arrogant, and even shouted in English: "Everyone come and see! I still don't want to pay compensation for hitting my car! Police!

Having never encountered such a scoundrel, Su Dingcai was about to explode, and shouted in English: "Fart! Look at the car yourself, who hit whom?"

Li Ping'an and Su Mu also got out of the car, unlike the angry father, Su Mu was very calm, and he knew that he was a full one at the first time.

The United States car insurance is divided into three total, "full insurance" means that no matter whose responsibility, the insurance company will compensate, half insurance needs the responsibility of the other party to compensate, since the guy in front of him is a scoundrel to reverse black and white, most of them did not buy full insurance, and do not want to pay for car repairs, if you are really rich, how will you be greedy for this little money with a conscience.

The two sides were still arguing, and they were justified, Su Dingcai said very loudly, attracting many people watching the excitement, and the two white policemen who were responsible for maintaining order also rushed to ask what happened.

The man driving the Mercedes-Benz hurriedly hit me backwards: "Officer, he hit my car! A new car worth tens of thousands of dollars, and he doesn't want to pay me money, so he frames me for hitting him!"

"He's lying, gentlemen, he hit our car!"

Without waiting for his father to reply, Su Mu suddenly said, pointing to the parking meter and continuing to speak: "After parking the car, I helped my father throw a coin from the window, and only by parking the car here, I can put in the coin, which means that our car is not moving, and it was he who hit us from behind." ”

"Also, if you look at the brake marks under his front wheels, only a hard brake will leave a black mark, and my father's wheel is nothing, and my father pulled the handbrake at the time. So after being hit, our car didn't move a lot, it moved a few centimeters forward, and if we hit him by reversing backwards, how could our car move forward?"

The two policemen followed Su Mu and squatted down, and sure enough, they saw traces of moving forward, and also saw brake marks under the front wheels of the Mercedes-Benz, and the Mercedes-Benz was obviously preparing to leave, and the front side of the car had exceeded the stop line.

At this time, a Chinese vendor who had not spoken before stood in place and shouted: "The car behind hit the car in front, I saw it, and when I heard the noise, I saw the Mercedes-Benz braking!"

With witnesses, the traces of the scene also proved that the other party was responsible, and the middle-aged Mercedes-Benz owner still said: "Why did I hit him!? Is there any evidence, he said that he saw it?"

An old policeman was very disgusted by his attitude, and said: "Since this is the case, then it can only be resolved in court, I am willing to help the other party testify to prove that you did hit him, in order to ensure notarization, I will ask other colleagues to help collect the confessions of eyewitnesses." If you take the oath and commit perjury, you will likely be sent to jail, which is framing someone else...... You have the right to claim damages for moral and reputational damages, sir. ”

The last sentence is said to Su Dingcai.

This cop is very good, and he also helps solve problems, and there is no sitting by and mud.

The owner of the Mercedes-Benz was speechless, pinched his nose and said that he wanted to reconcile, and only promised to pay Su Dingcai 200 US dollars.

Su Dingcai was reluctant to go to court, wasting time aside, and the high legal fees also gave him a headache, and the old car just hit a hole, and agreed to accept $200 in compensation.

If it were someone else, maybe they would have succeeded with a rake, Su Mu's explanation was reasonable, and directly made the police believe his words, the efficiency was far higher than that of Daddy slowly, smart people always like to solve problems in the most efficient way.

scolded a nest of snakes and rats in Cantonese, and after losing money, the Mercedes-Benz owner left decisively, and said that he was going to complain about the two policemen, perhaps to find himself under the stairs......

Speaking of Xiangjiang in this era, it is most appropriate to describe it as "chaos", since the sixties and seventies, benefiting from foreign trade, it has indeed gradually become rich, but the quality is still not up, and all walks of life are quite chaotic.

Nowadays, the compatriots who despise the poor old immigrants in Chinatown the most are the new immigrants who have just arrived from Xiangjiang and Aomen, who do not necessarily have much money, and most of them are not very good-tempered, and look down on the "poor relatives" in Chinatown.

Looking at the new immigrants from the mainland, in this era, I still think that all American compatriots are rich, and it is too late to envy them, so how can they look down on them.

The vast majority of traditional Chinese in the United States are like gas bags, not treated by wealthy compatriots, and discriminated against by residents of other races.

"I must have just immigrated here, the quality is really poor!" Helping his son carry the snacks he ate, he had already bought a ticket, and when he was waiting for the bus, Su Dingcai recalled what had just happened, and he was still very angry.

If you want to say that other countries have a bad impression of the Chinese community, there are really a lot of their own factors, a black man robbed, behind the whole group, there is a Chinese who cheats and cheats, does not abide by civilized morality, and the image of the Chinese will also be smeared.

"Not necessarily, I think his English is quite standard, Dad, you can dissipate your anger, isn't the 200 dollars for you?" ”

Su Mu knew his father's temper, and sure enough, Su Dingcai couldn't help laughing, and said: "The car doesn't need to be repaired, it's just a hole, it's all a pit anyway, you take these two hundred dollars, and the money you picked up for nothing, go and take Ping'an to eat something delicious......"
