Chapter 7 You Have to Do It If You Don't Do It, It's not easy to be a beggar
Braving the cold wind, I finished my meal that had already cooled down.
I was pushed out of the small alley by Zhou Xiaojing, "Go to work." ”
"Wife." When parting, I held Zhou Xiaojing's hand and tightened, "I'm begging you, leave the money to me, okay?" You go back first. ”
Zhou Xiaojing stared at me tightly, a lot of emotions flashed in her eyes, and just when I thought she was going to blame me again for saving face, or something else, she nodded her head.
"Forget it, since you insist, I don't bother to care about you. At most, our family is scattered. Zhou Xiaojing shook off my hand and strode towards the bus stop.
I froze in place.
We have quarreled before, and when we are angry, we will take out the divorce and quarrel, but this time it made me feel a strong crisis.
Zhou Xiaojing's mentality has been completely tormented and collapsed by the poor life.
Looking at the back of my wife's departure, I thought about the stock for a long time. Fortunately, the stock price is still rising, and I sold it when it went up by 10 percent, because the stock would fall after it rose to 10 percent.
I will choose this stock, mainly because the market is not very good today, only this stock will go up until 10% and then fall.
After making sure that thirteen thousand yuan had entered the account, I took the broken bowl and went outside the temple.
Zhou Xiaojing is here today, she may come again, with her current mentality, if she knows that I didn't set the bowl at all, she will definitely be furious.
I'm going to have to deal with it.
There were many people sitting on the ground at the entrance of the temple, either beggars or fortune tellers.
I found a place not far from the temple gate and sat down.
It was so cold, I rubbed my frozen hands. I can't help but admire the beggars next to me, wearing so little, squatting here for a day, but still shaking the broken bowl and asking pedestrians for money.
"Hey, where are you from?"
A fierce voice came.
I turned my head to see a man on crutches in one hand staring at me angrily.
The man was about the same age as me.
He limped over, and with the good foot, kicked the broken bowl in front of me hard, "This is my territory, don't you know?" ”
I expected this to happen. There is a number of porridge in the pot, who wants to increase the number of points? What's more, I'm still on crutches, and if I really meet a kind person, I will pity me first.
As I was thinking, a pedestrian threw a steel hammer at the ground in front of me.
The man also bravely educated the half-lame man who kicked my bowl, "Young man, you are all disabled, why should the disabled be embarrassed by the disabled?" ”
"You know what!" Half-limped at the kind pedestrian, "We have a personal grudge." If you don't want to make a fuss, just get out of here. ”
The pedestrian looked unreasonable, and he was a little afraid, after all, there was no need to cause trouble because of strangers.
Half-lame squatted down, picked up the steel hammer on the ground, rubbed it on the torn cotton jacket, carefully put it in his pocket, and looked ruffian, "If you want to set a bowl here, you can, but every dollar you want in the future will belong to me." ”
This is a busy city, and the fight between two lame people can easily attract onlookers, and if a nearby radio reporter is invited, it will be a big trouble, and I am not short of this money, so I agreed, "Yes, as long as you don't bother me." ”
Half-lame, as if he didn't believe it, "I said that I will give me all the money!" ”
I nodded again, "I know." ”
Half-limped, "You said it yourself, don't forget." ”
I didn't bother to pay any more attention to him, and stood up on crutches.
The crutches were half-lame, and the half-limp chin in the direction of the temple gate, "Wait a little longer, the last batch of pilgrims will come out soon." ”
I shook my head, "I'm going back, you can wait by yourself." ”
I'm just here to deal with Zhou Xiaojing, it's almost time, so naturally I want to go back.
Half-lame let go of my crutches and scratched his head in wonder, "You lame man is so strange, you come out to set the bowl, but you don't want money, then you come out in the winter to be cold, what are you trying to do?" ”
"I'm here to experience the life of a beggar." I dropped it and walked away on crutches.
On the way back, I went to the ATM as usual, took out all the 13,000 I earned today and gave it to Zhou Xiaojing.
The mother-in-law and Zhou Xiaojing both stared.
Qingqing held her cheeks with both hands, and the standard anime character had a surprised expression, "Dad, this is what you earned today?" ”
I touched the top of my daughter's head, "yes, isn't dad great?" ”
"It's so handsome!" Qingqing's face was adoring.
No matter what name the money is made of, as long as it makes my family happy, I feel gratified.
"It's still far from 100,000, what are you excited about." Zhou Xiaojing said while sorting out the banknotes, "Again, good luck doesn't come every day." ”
"It's just that this kind of pie falling from the sky is not a long-term solution after all." The mother-in-law added in a whisper.
I didn't speak, because the best way to stop my mother-in-law's mouth was to smash 100,000 yuan in front of her within the promised time.
In this way, before the stock market closed, I hid in a corner where no one was staring at my phone, and then went to the temple gate to set up a bowl for an hour or two to deal with Zhou Xiaojing's irregular inspections.
On this day, a wave of cold air came from the north, which made the temperature drop directly to minus 178 degrees, and there were few pilgrims in the temple.
I set up a bowl at the entrance of the temple for two hours, and I only needed to find a steel hammer.
Half-limped to my side on crutches, "Brother, business is so cold today." ”
I hummed faintly and prepared to pack my things and go home.
Half-lame grabbed the only steel hammer in my broken bowl and threw it away, "It's only a dollar, so it's enough to do it?" Brother, do me a favor. ”
"No." I refused directly, I don't know him well, why help him?
"Don't be like this, it's a big deal to make money, and I'll share half of it. I've been thinking about it for the past few days, and I finally understand why you agreed to give me the money in the bowl, you want to catch a big fish, right? "I've seen through your expression half-lame, "But it's a pity that the pilgrims who come to this temple are all old men and old ladies, or old pilgrims, who already know us, and if you give ten or five yuan, it will be a big customer." You just have to wait 10,000 years, and you can't wait for the boss to make a big deal. If you want to make a lot of money, you have to rely on this. ”
Half-lame pointed to his head, and nodded his chin at Ma Lu, who was five steps away, "See, that's the place to make money." ”
I looked at the traffic coming and going on the road, and frowned incomprehensibly, "What kind of wealth can you make on the road?" ”
Half-lame looked around, and got closer, "Touch porcelain, let's do it together, find that kind of million-dollar luxury car, you rush over, and then pretend to fall to the ground, make sure to scare those rich people to pee, and quickly pay for it." ”
The corners of my mouth twitched, "I won't do this kind of harmful thing." ”
I lost the patience to listen anymore and walked on crutches.
"Hey, don't toast and don't eat and drink." Half-lame grabbed my crutches and grabbed me tightly, "I can afford you, so I partnered with you." ”
"Then I really want to thank you, but I'm really not interested in this way of making money." I slapped my half-limp hand on my crutches and quickly walked away as he could.
"I'm sorry, you have to do it if you don't do it!"
There was a half-limping roar from behind, and he shoved me from behind.
I staggered down the road.
Bang, I crashed into a car, and although the car was not fast because it was turning, I was still hit and rolled twice, and the crutches flew straight out, almost smashing the car in front of me.
"Damn, you're half lame!" I burst into a foul mouth.
"Big brother!"
Half-limped and howled loudly, and walked off the street on crutches, "How are you?" ”
I was on my elbows on the ground and was about to get up, but I was slapped back to the ground with a half-limp from the arrival, "Get down, pretend to be dizzy, or howl in pain, the louder the better." ”
After speaking, he cried half-lame, "Big brother, why is your life so bitter, not long after you had a car accident, you were hit by a car again!" ”
"He's alright?"
A trembling female voice was heard.
I turned my head and saw a fashionably dressed young woman, with big black eyes that were more watery than my daughter's.
"Great, it's a woman. Driving a BMW car at such a young age must be the little love of a rich man, brother, let's send it. Half-lame said in a voice that only the two of us could hear, his face full of excitement, "Howl! ”
I didn't do what he said.
What kind of man is a man who bullies a woman! I frowned disdainfully.
Half-lame but already started acting, lost his crutches, threw himself in front of the girl, hugged the girl's legs, and shouted, "You perpetrator, don't try to run!" ”
"I'm not going to run." The girl shook her legs in disgust, "You let me go first." ”
A young lady who drives a million BMWs will definitely hate dirty beggars like us.
"Want me to let go, unless you lose money!" Half-lame and arrogantly raised his head, "My eldest brother was hit by you and flew up, the treatment fee, plus the mental damage fee, and the lost work fee, how can I get a hundred and eighty thousand." ”
The disgust in the girl's eyes became even stronger, and her willow eyebrows were upside down, "One hundred and eighty thousand? ”
"Don't listen to his nonsense!" I sat up with my hands on the ground, "I'm fine, and I'm not his big brother." ”
The girl's apricot eyes widened, "What did you say?" ”
"I said, I'm fine." I pointed to the crutches lying on the ground and said, "If you could hand me the crutches, I'd be fine." ”
Half-limped and stabbed me hard with his elbow, "You're crazy! ”
I didn't bother to look at him, but nodded to the girl.
The girl picked up the cane and handed it to me.
I put my cane under my armpit, slowly stood up, and tried to take two steps, "Look, I'm fine." ”
I didn't just say this to comfort the girl, for though it was dangerous, but because of her slow speed and the cold, I wore a thick coat and a velvet hat on my head, and rolled twice on the ground, but I didn't hurt anything.
The girl breathed a sigh of relief, "I thought I was miserable, big brother, thank you for your honesty." ”
I smiled and shook my head, didn't say anything more, and walked away on crutches, because I saw that there were already pedestrians coming around, and some people were pulling out their phones. I don't want to be the most popular beggar on the Internet, so I'll leave my back to them!
I ran away on crutches.
Smack, around the corner, I suddenly got a slap in the face.
