552.Chapter 552: Dark City
"Okay, you go clean up first!" Lin Dade waved his hand and said, "I have to take them to find the landlord first, and they will also live here for two days." ”
"Oh, come and sit down in a moment. The woman took the food and ran into the kitchen to clean it up.
Here, Lin Dade beckoned Ye Qing and Wang Laoba to follow him and walked to the next room first. There was a girl of five or six years old sitting in the doorway, with a pair of black eyes, looking extremely cute. It's a pity that she is so thin, and her face, which should have been round, has sunk into it. His clothes were covered with mud, and his face was covered with mud, and he looked like he was asking for food, which was sad.
Lin Dade bent down and squatted down and asked, "Ding Ding, how is Mom today?"
"It still hurts. The girl replied in a low voice.
"Oh, just let her go to see a doctor!" Lin Dade sighed, handed her the medicine in his hand, and said, "This is the medicine that the uncle over there gave you, take it back and let your mother put it on, and it will be fine soon!"
Ding Ding hesitated for a moment, reached out to take the medicine, looked at Lin Dade, then at Ye Qing, and suddenly bent down and bowed to Ye Qing. The polite appearance made Ye Qing's heart sour, and even Wang Laoba sighed as if he were nothing.
Ding Ding took the medicine back to the room, Lin Dade took Ye Qing and Wang Laoba to find the landlord, and sighed all the way: "Hey, the child is really good, polite, cute, and hurtful." I really can't understand what this father thinks, such a cute child, is he willing to do it?
Renting a house is very smooth, and the price is very cheap, of course, if you want to use other people's bedding or something, the price will be slightly more expensive. However, these are not critical anymore.
After taking the key, Ye Qing went to buy a bottle of liquor and carried it to Lin Dade's house, where Lin Dade's daughter-in-law was cooking in the room. The smell of pork in the pot is pungent, and the three children who are attracted stand at the entrance of the kitchen, and it seems that they have not eaten meat for a while.
"Go, go, go out to play, what are you doing blocking the kitchen!" Lin Dade drove the three children out, smiled awkwardly at Ye Qing and Wang Laoba, and said, "Child, don't be sensible, don't mind." Come on, come on, hurry up and sit, this house is messy, and there are too many miscellaneous things. ”
The room rented by Lin Dade is really not big, and there is a room in it that is the bedroom of Lin Dade and his wife. There is a bunk bed in the living room, which is estimated to be where the three children sleep. Next came a dining table, and there was hardly anything else in the room. The kitchen is also separated by wooden planks and is extremely cramped.
However, even if it is such a simple room, Lin Dade's family is also happy here. Today, Lin Dade earned five hundred yuan, which is half a month's income for him, and his mood is also very good, sitting in the living room and constantly chatting with Ye Qing and Wang Laoba about the scenery here in Xishan City, and preparing to take Ye Qing and Wang Laoba to see the scenery in the afternoon. This honest man received five hundred yuan from Ye Qing, so he didn't want Ye Qing to spend this money in vain!
Ye Qing was not interested in these scenery and the like, and asked about those guards several times, but Lin Dade was obviously very vigilant and didn't want these things at all. Ye Qing could see that he couldn't ask in a short period of time, so he didn't ask any more, just for fear that Lin Dade would be wary of them.
After sitting in the living room for half an hour, a few dishes were served, and Lin Dade immediately invited Ye Qing and Wang Laoba to sit down at the table. The three children also rushed in happily, but were driven into the kitchen by Lin Dade. He treated Ye Qing and Wang Laoba as guests, so he didn't let the children serve at the table.
Seeing the three children looking pitifully at the kitchen door, Ye Qing couldn't help but think of the way he sat in the kitchen and watched others eat, and he also sighed with emotion in his heart, and said, "Let my sister-in-law and the children come and sit together!"
"I don't need it, you can eat!" Lin Dade's wife replied in the kitchen.
"Child, you can't eat anything on the table, it's just making trouble. Okay, you don't have to worry about them, you can eat first!" Lin Dade warmly greeted Ye Qing and Wang Laoba, but Ye Qing finally insisted that everyone serve the table.
Lin Dade couldn't resist Ye Qing, and in the end he could only let his wife and three children come over. The three children, of course, were unusually excited, and ate unceremoniously when they were served. Lin Dade's wife obviously belonged to the more virtuous kind, and smiled at Ye Qing and Wang Laoba awkwardly, not knowing what to do.
When Lin Dade introduced Ye Qing and Wang Laoba, especially when Ye Qing paid 500 yuan to charter his tricycle, Lin Dade's wife suddenly widened her eyes. This number shocked her too, and it is no wonder that Lin Dade came back after buying so many vegetables today.
Knowing that her husband had made a lot of money, Lin Dade's wife was even more enthusiastic, adding tea and pouring water for Ye Qing and them, and they were very busy. That's really not a lot for this family.
After lunch, Lin Dade and Ye Qing and Wang Lao Ba chatted in the living room. Lin Dade's wife finished cleaning up the kitchen, walked to Lin Dade's side, stopped talking, hesitated for a while, and then said in a low voice: "Old Lin, we owe Brother Hei that money, or we will give it today, or he will trouble you tomorrow!"
Hearing the words Brother Hei, Lin Dade's face was obviously a little angry, but he still took a hundred yuan from his pocket and handed it to his wife, and said, "This group of mongrels will bully us poor people, and I haven't seen them go to those rich people to ask for money!"
"Okay, don't do it, the disaster comes from the mouth!" Lin Dade's wife took the money, smiled awkwardly at Ye Qing and Wang Laoba, and hurriedly took the money and went out.
"What's going on?" Wang Laoba looked at Lin Dade in surprise and said, "Why are there still people bullying you?"
"Well, it's not a big deal. Lin Dade sighed and said with an indignant face: "That black brother is the leader of one of the gangsters here, and we who pedal tricycles have to pay him regularly every month." If you don't pay, don't think about pulling customers on the street. ”
"Is there such a thing?" Ye Qing frowned and said, "This black brother is too disagreeable, this is obviously collecting protection money, why don't you call the police?"
Lin Dade waved his hand and said, "This kind of thing, it's useless to find the police!"
"Why?" Ye Qingqi said, there are no such indiscriminate gangsters in Shenchuan City, why does the security in Xishan City seem to be much worse than that in Shenchuan City?
"Brother Ye, I'll talk to you like this. Lin Dade sighed and said: "I used to pedal three wheels, and it is really not easy to make money in our industry." But even so, there are still some gangsters who ask us for so-called protection money. We are all coolies, and there are many of them, and we all join forces, and of course we will not be bullied by these people. Who knows, after we got into a fight with those gangsters, the police immediately arrested several of us, locked them up for a while, and had to compensate them for their medical expenses. As for those of us, who are not old and old, how can our family live if we go in and lock up for a while? So, after that, we didn't dare to do anything against those gangsters. After going back and forth, it has become a rule to pay protection fees every month, and I have to pay 100 yuan every month!"
"Actually, if the police really want to take care of these things, how dare those thugs come and mess with us? However, in the end, it was us drivers who were arrested, and it was we drivers who lost money. In such a situation, what is the use of you and us calling the police?" At this point, Lin Dade paused for a moment and continued in a low voice: "Moreover, I also heard a message. The leader of the gangsters was the nephew of a deputy chief of the city police department. People have backgrounds, and when we fight them, it's not asking for hardship. ”
"Is there such a thing?" Ye Qing frowned, if this is the case, then it involves the issue of a strict zhòng of officials and bandits!
"Hey, hey......" Wang Laoba sneered and said: "Good and evil will be rewarded in the end, these policemen have done a lot of evil, and they will be full of evil after all!"
"What do you mean?" Lin Dade looked at Wang Laoba in surprise, full of confusion.
"He's talking nonsense. Ye Qing hurriedly replied.
Lin Dade looked at Ye Qing suspiciously, and said strangely: "Brother Ye, you seem to be very interested in the affairs of the police on our side?"
Ye Qing smiled and said, "You don't know, when I entered Xishan City today, I was blackmailed at the highway entrance. At that time, there were police involved, so I wondered what the hell was going on with this police department in Xishan City!"
Lin Dade said: "Did someone ride a tricycle and hit your car?"
Ye Qing was stunned: "How do you know?"
Lin Dade said: "This thing often happens, and many outsiders are blackmailed like this. Most people don't dare to call the police, for fear that they will go to jail for fear of getting bigger. Later, some people called the police, but in the end, they still couldn't do it. ”
Ye Qing frowned, if it was really like what Lin Dade did, then the police department in Xishan City was really rotten.
"By the way, where's your car?" said Lin Dadeqi.
Wang Laoba said: "Don't mention it, I don't know what's going on, the license plate is blocked by sludge, and now it's still in the traffic police team, people let us pick up the car in the afternoon!"
"Ouch, it's a big deal now!" Lin Dade shook his head and said: "If this car enters the traffic police team, don't think of two or three thousand." ”
"Are you quite familiar with these things?" Ye Qingqi said.
"Gee, that's all the rage. Lin Dade said: "Brother Ye, if you come here by car from other places, three out of ten will encounter such a thing." What license plate is blocked by sludge, in fact, when those people stop the car, they quietly smear you with sludge, and then detain the car. If you enter the traffic police force, you have to spend money, but if you don't spend money, you don't want to pick up the car!"
