Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Second Batch of Coolies Arrives (Part II)
Xiao Yi did not continue to make a move, but asked about the matter between Endrick and Harpy. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Seeing that the situation had eased, Endrick felt that the courage in his body to forcibly lift it was released, and he immediately collapsed on the ground, but fortunately, Harpy held it in time behind him so that he didn't break it, but despite this, in order to avoid extraneous branches, Endrick immediately began to answer Xiao Yi's question.
Listening to the slightly excited middle-aged man's story, Xiao Yi and Zuode finally knew the reason, it turned out that this was still a slightly bloody story:
The cause of the matter has to start from the beginning, it turns out that Endrick is not from the Aishin Empire, fifteen years ago he left his hometown to come to this country that is said to be the most stable on the continent, and he wants to work his own mind, so that he can give his wife and young daughter a better future in his hometown. When he first came here, he did make some money with his hard work and flexible mind.
Although life is hard and tiring, but as long as he thinks about his family, he has the motivation to continue to work hard, as he saves more and more, he is no longer satisfied with working for others, and finally saves enough savings to rent the land in his hands and build a warehouse, everything is developing very smoothly, he even believes that one day he can establish his own chamber of commerce like the most famous businessmen on this continent.
But the reality is cruel after all, from the moment he officially became a businessman, he came into contact with a new class, the oppression of the powerful, The oppression of his peers and the gloom of the living environment made him feel gradually powerless, and the longing for his wife and daughter was constantly draining his willpower, until one day he found a little boy fainting in front of the door, and Endrick, who couldn't bear it, carried him to the house and gave him food and water, when he learned that he was an orphan who had fled, the father's love in his heart that had nowhere to vent because he had been away from home for many years suddenly exploded!
So Endrick took in the little boy, who is now known as Harpy. Although little Harpy has a strong self-esteem and is determined not to accept Endrick's benefits in vain, he is still young and has no ability to support himself, so he can only live together in Endrick's warehouse. As Harpy grows up day by day, I don't know if it is because of the experience of hardship that has given him a precocious mind and a stoic character, he does not take it as his duty to play like other children of the same age, but looks for various opportunities to do what he can, such as helping Endrick with the warehouse business, went out to do odd jobs and did everything, and although Endrick did not simply regard Harpy as his adopted son, as an elder and friend, he did find solace in the relationship between the two, so that later he took in a few children like Little Harpy.
But Endrick's experience obviously did not move the heavens or anything, because life and his business have not become easier and better, as the empire's business and economy have become more and more developed, his business has been unable to keep up with the situation, and gradually become only able to maintain food and clothing and barely survive, during which he was deceived by customers several times, and the experience of being stolen and framed by business rivals made him even more disheartened, since three years ago, he had the idea of selling and transferring this only property and returning to his hometown to live an ordinary life.
But Harpy and his bunch of brothers don't want Endrick to do this, although as they live in the warehouse, they are ostensibly moths who eat and drink for nothing, but in fact, they have been repaying the kindness of their Uncle Enwei in their own way, with their daily help, Endrick saves the cost of hiring guys, not to mention how many times the maintenance of these young people has avoided the **** extortion of ruffians and business rivals to hire people to maliciously find fault. They knew in their hearts that they had no right to interfere with Endrick's decision, and they even wanted to buy the warehouse from Endrick at their own expense, so that they would not have to lose the place where they had always relied on their home and filled with almost all the good memories of their lives so far, and Endrick would not have to worry about money anymore.
Although the idea is good, but the reality is often to destroy the good idea! Although in order to change hands as soon as possible, coupled with the old state of the building, the price of the warehouse has dropped again and again, but Harry only relied on the money earned by doing odd jobs to gouge a large group of people to eat and feed the horses, and they had no choice but to go down the road of gangsters.
It's just that when he finds out that this is a very risky road of no return, they have no way to turn back, and the speed of making money is not as fast as they imagined before, in the end, they can only be regarded as brave and ruthless runaway youths, and those villains who mingle in the darkest corners of society, at least they can't earn the dirty money that will make them sleep at night and have nightmares.
In this way, they struggled to save money while grinding hard with Endrick, and there were a few times on the way to disturb Endrick's appointment with the buyer, although Endrick was angry and annoyed, but after all, it got along with these children day and night and watched them grow up, he knew that Harpy's nature was not bad, so he could only let this struggle and entanglement continue, until he met Xiao Yi today.
"You are already wrong, do you want to continue to be wrong? If this money can be exchanged for you back, what can I be reluctant to! After so many years, I have watched you grow up little by little, and this is already a family to me! I am about to leave this country and return to my hometown, and you are the one who is most at ease before leaving, why can't you let me go with peace of mind!" I don't know when Endrick was telling about the past, a group of people who had been knocked down by the explosion had already gotten up and gathered around him.
"Uncle Envy, we were wrong. But you really need this money! Jenny's marriage needs this money! The other party's requirements are not too high, if we miss Jenny's happiness, I will feel guilty for the rest of my life even if I can survive!"
"Honorable young master, I was stupid and offended you before, I will make amends to you! If you want to kill or take whatever you want, just please don't take back the money you paid to Uncle Enwei, please!"
After listening to the story that people couldn't help but sigh, Xiao Yi and Zode glanced at each other, and they both saw a little understanding and understanding in each other's eyes, Zode needless to say, the living dead who came down from the battlefield were forced to be robbers for their colleagues for their lives, which can be regarded as a bad fate. And Xiao Yi is not a proud son of heaven born with a golden soup spoon, he once lived in the gorgeous era when his original material civilization was highly developed, but he deeply experienced the hardships of life and the injustice of society.
But at the same time, they are all lucky, because God gave them a second chance to start over, Xiao Yi came to this other world, and for Zode, his new life started from meeting Xiao Yi, so they thought that since they could get this opportunity, others should also get this opportunity.
Xiao Yi first helped Endrick who was sitting on the ground up, and then took out a gold coin voucher from his pocket and handed it over.
"Uncle, please rest assured! I will not pursue today's matter anymore. As for the money, you don't have to worry, money and goods are the laws of the business world protected by the code, and I naturally have no reason to take it back!
In fact, I was a little concerned before, although this warehouse is a little old, but as you said before, it still occupies a large area, so the price of 40,000 yuan is really taking advantage of you, I have never liked to take advantage of people!
You don't have to look for me anymore for money, there are still 50,000 here, even if it is the wedding money I gave Ling Qianjin!"
"This is not possible, it cannot be ...... I know you're a kind person, but you're already very magnanimous to let go of these ignorant kids today, how can you break the bank again!" Happiness came too suddenly, and it was a little confusing, but Endrick didn't forget to keep his bottom line.
"Uncle Envy, don't mind if I call you that! I won't tell you that I am also an orphan brought up by my teacher, who not only saved my life but also taught me the skills I need for a living, so I respect from the bottom of my heart a kind person like you who can help those in need. Xiao Yi revealed his true feelings, but when he mentioned the teacher, he was thinking about the grandfather, the former director of the orphanage.
"Besides, since you have made up your mind to return to your hometown and enjoy your family, you must be worried about the future livelihood of the hobbies! I am about to buy this warehouse and transform it into a big enough restaurant, you know that I will need a lot of guys to work at that time, I think the hobbies and they respect you very much, why don't you do me a favor by the way and let them come to my restaurant as a buddy, and the rest of the money will be regarded as my commission to the introducer?!"
Saying that, Xiao Yi turned his face to look at the Harpy who was still kneeling: "You are the leader of this group, since you said that you will let me dispose of it, then I will hand over the right to dispose of you to Uncle Enwei, are you convinced?"
Harry just had a bad temper and didn't have a problem with his brain, so he naturally understood what the situation was, and immediately nodded firmly at Endrick.
Looking at the sincerity in Xiao Yi's eyes, Endrick thought for a while and then said heavily:
"Okay, that's it, this group of children will be handed over to you from now on!"
