088 Save people to the end
On the way back, Li Mu and his entourage had an extra carriage, on which sat Zhang Leye's family. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Kate is Zhang Leye's wife, the two children are Zhang Leye's children, although Cao Anran and other three old people have no blood relationship with Zhang Leye, but it is not a family is better than a family, Li Mu saves people to the end, one sheep is to drive, and two sheep are also released.
"I feel like you're picking up rags, so many people need help, can you help it?" Will and Li Mu walked side by side, looking at Li Mu, Will's expression was a little complicated.
When Li Mu and Zhang Leye left that alley, Li Mu instructed Yan Hu to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, if Li Mu left it, after Li Mu and the others left, the gangsters would definitely retaliate against Zhang Leye and his family, which Li Mu absolutely could not accept.
In Li Mu's impression, it seems that when it comes to overseas Chinese, this group is often associated with restaurant owners and coolies, and it seems that there are not many Chinese engaged in skilled work.
This is not surprising, in the Chinese tradition, "craftsmen" belong to the lower ninth-rate industry, and industrial manufacturing is "strange and ingenious", which has never been recognized by the mainstream society, so the Chinese are psychologically resistant to the profession of "worker".
However, for Zhang Leye and other Chinese-Americans, it is obvious that there is no such problem, the United States has no tradition in this regard, the salary of skilled workers is still relatively high, and the Chinese do not have many stubborn opinions when they arrive in the United States, as long as they can survive, let alone the lower ninth rate, the eighteenth layer of hell is also done by people, and those who insist on being pretentious have long been buried under the railroad tracks of the Sierra Nevada.
If Li Mu wants to improve the social status of Chinese in the United States, he needs more Chinese to get rid of the inherent image of restaurant owners, coolies, low-level workers, and so on, and to develop as much as possible in the direction of senior technicians, engineers, lawyers, and even government officials.
Zhang Leye is Li Mu's first goal to change the image of the Chinese.
Thinking of this, Li Mu was particularly confident in answering Will's question: "There are many people on this street, and I will help them one by one, and I won't be able to help them until the day I die, but some people are worth helping, and some people are not worth helping, although I can't help everyone, but I also want to help those who need help as much as possible, I can't stop trying because I can't do it, and I can have a clear conscience after trying my best." "This kind of metaphysical thing, Li Mu is the best at it.
Will is a hands-on faction, and Bickering is not Li Mu's opponent, but Will also has his own view of right and wrong, so he also has his own principles: "You said it well, if it weren't for that guy being a worker in the Springfield Arsenal, would you still help him?" ”
"I didn't know at first that Zhang was a worker in the arsenal - God told us that you should comfort and help each other, as you do every day. So how can you have such an idea? Li Mu quoted the words of the Bible to see how Will, a devout believer, refuted.
Will is a Christian, to be precise, Will is a Protestant, and in the past two days, Will has been emphasizing to Li Mu, asking Li Mu to go to church with Will on Sunday.
Li Mu resolutely refused, in order to make Will die, Li Mu told Will that he was a Taoist believer, which made Will have nothing to do.
For Westerners, no matter what your beliefs are, as long as you believe in one, even if you worship the Lord of the Land, it is no problem. For Westerners, having no faith is a terrible thing.
Sure enough, Li Mu took out the Bible as a shield, and Will had nothing to do. After listening to Li Mu's words, Will glared at Li Mu viciously for a while, scolded "dry", and then beat the horse and galloped.
Poor Prometheus is always the tragic cat in the "Kick Cat Effect".
Soon, Li Mu and his entourage came to Zike Avenue on the banks of the Connecticut River, which is close to the Springfield Arsenal, with a beautiful environment and good security, and is a middle-class gathering area.
"Brother Mu, this-" After getting out of the car, Zhang Leye, who was already nervous, was suddenly dumbfounded, relatively speaking, the rent here is indeed relatively high, and it is not something that Zhang Leye, who only has a salary of eight US dollars a month, can afford.
Zhang Leye also knew that if Li Mu and the others left, the gangsters would definitely come back to retaliate, so Li Mugang expressed his intention to help Zhang Leye move, and Zhang Leye agreed, but Zhang Leye never imagined that Li Mu would get Zhang Leye's family here.
"Don't worry, this is my friend's house, you guys stay here first, and then move when you find a suitable place." Li Mu reassured Zhang Leye.
In fact, this is Will's friend's house, and Li Mu doesn't have any friends in Springfield.
The house is still very good, two-story wooden building, more than ten rooms up and down, there is a lawn in front of the house, there is a garden behind the house, the style is similar to Will's home in Riverside Town, of course, because of the geographical location, the value must be more than a lot.
"Brother Mu, you-I really don't know how to repay you." Zhang Leye was a little excited, his face was a little red, and the gauze on his head was oozing blood.
Although Zhang Leye was not lightly injured, he did not go to the hospital, but simply bandaged it at home and finished it, in Zhang Leye's words, this is "the life of the Qing people is hard, and they can resist", but in Li Mu's view, Zhang Leye is clearly reluctant to go to the hospital.
This is also understandable, doctors in the United States are also very dark, and if Zhang Leye goes to the hospital, he may have to use up a month's living expenses for his family.
"Speaking of repayment, there's something I want to ask you for." Li Mu only put forward his request until now, which can be regarded as deliberate.
"Brother Mu, you said, but there is an order, and you will not hesitate to go to the soup and the fire." Zhang Leye's expression was firm, even if Li Mu gave Zhang Leye a knife at this time and asked Zhang Leye to follow Li Mu to cut people, Zhang Leye would not hesitate.
Li Mu will definitely not let Zhang Leye cut people, cutting people is Yan Hu's job.
"After a while, I want to open a factory, specializing in the production of weapons for personal self-defense or hunting, you are familiar with the Springfield Arsenal, help me find a few skilled and well-known people, preferably our Qingguo people, I will not treat everyone badly, the salary is increased by thirty percent compared to the white workers in the Springfield Arsenal, if the technology is particularly good, the salary will be doubled directly." In fact, Li Mu's arsenal will not open for a while, and now the demand for talents is not strong, Li Mu now asked Zhang Leye to help find people, in order to find something to do for Zhang Leye and let Zhang Leye feel at ease.
"Brother Mu, I'm the first to sign up for your factory-" Zhang Leye is really good.
