Chapter 189: Inextricably Linked (90)
When squeezing into the minibus home, the waves touched his pocket, and the last fare on his body was stolen.
But the car door was closed, and Hailang gritted his teeth and decided to do the first bad thing in his life: fare evasion.
He sat down as if nothing had happened.
Soon, the conductor began to walk around the car, asking people to buy tickets one by one.
When it was the turn of the waves, he blushed and bowed his head in shame. Silence is better than sound, and the decay of the painting with the words "no money" written on his face soon provoked the other passengers and conductors to stare at him with cold and mocking eyes, making him want to find a hole in the ground immediately.
The driver was so angry that he stamped his foot and told the conductor to drive the waves off the bus.
Bear child, I don't have any money to take a car, I've seen a lot of people like you, get out.
The conductor shoved the waves and kicked him off the bus, and before the waves could stand firm, he smashed his luggage on him again.
In an instant, rags and seven or eight pieces were scattered all over the ground.
The people in the car pointed and pointed, and there were endless invective voices such as "little bastard", "wild dog", "you can't learn well at such a young age", but the waves didn't care.
After going out to work for more than half a year, he has long developed a super immunity to all kinds of cynicism.
He bent down and picked up everything one by one and put it back in the bag, until he could no longer hold back his tears when he saw a tattered electric fan on the ground. It was when he got out of the garbage heap, stalked with a worker who was proficient in mechanical and electrical power, and after repairing it, he was going to take it home for his elderly grandfather to cool off in the summer.
The last bit of self-esteem of the waves, like this fan that was thrown out of the car, was torn apart and shattered to the ground.
He wiped his tears, threw the luggage he had finally packed on the ground, and began to think about the ultimate philosophical question of fate for the first time: I have not done anything bad, why is fate so unfair to me, to be bullied and looked down upon everywhere?
Such a difficult problem, many people have not understood in their lives. For the waves at that time, it was difficult to find an answer for a while at his age.
With questions about fate, the waves can only take an afternoon and a whole night to walk home.
Grandpa's illness worsened, and when he returned to the village, Hailang had to return to his old business and continue to recycle waste.
But the villagers obviously felt that the waves had changed: they were silent, not as big and heartless as before, and seemed to have something on their minds; Most critically, the price of his scrap is back to the same level as the market price. This made some uncles, aunts and old people in the village very dissatisfied, and scolded him for being a "white-eyed wolf" behind his back.
Of course, there are also some villagers who are understanding of his behavior.
A year later, my grandfather died of illness. Hailang also owes a lot of debts to many villagers because of his grandfather's condition. This gave him the idea of continuing to work in the city to earn money to pay off his debts, but the only job he could think of was moving bricks at the construction site.
But his age has always been a problem, fortunately he has grown a lot taller in the past year or so, but to lie to people that he is an adult, I am afraid that he can only tell the blind.
Just when he was having a headache how to solve this problem, a villager who lent money to Hailang told him, you are a melon baby, what bullshit can't hire child labor, this is the foreman deceiving you, our poor country, these *** bullshit laws are more, how many do you see to abide by them?
That foreman bullied you for being young and didn't understand this, so he blackmailed your salary, and you really took these bullshit legal provisions seriously?
Hailang suddenly realized that he vaguely understood a truth: it turned out that the provisions of the law could not be observed.
Then, the villager told him that the reason why you can't find a job outside is that you are too young, and the recruiter is worried that you can't do anything, and you have to consider and take care of your personal safety, so you don't need to be brought, covered, or guaranteed, and someone is responsible for any safety accidents.
Eventually, the villagers introduced one of their distant relatives, Cui Yong, to Hailang. This Cui Yong has recently worked as a foreman in the city, and Hailang can go to him and work under him.
Here it is again
The waves of moving bricks at the construction site were pleasantly surprised to find that under Cui Yong's care, his wages had never been in arrears.
So, the waves began to work step by step, originally thinking that life would be like this, but if nothing else, accidents will soon appear. The poisonous whip of fate never seems to let go of the waves.
After work once, Cui Yong asked Hai Lang to go out to dinner. Although he is young, he is a half-grown child who is diligent and quick to work, which Cui Yong likes in his heart, and coupled with the relationship between distant relatives, he likes to take the waves with him when he gets off work.
During the meal, Cui Yong, who was full of beard, persuaded Hailang to drink. Hailang is extremely grateful to Cui Yong, and he also thinks that he has grown up and is a man, so he started drinking for the first time in his life. Then, he soon drank himself unconscious.
When he woke up the next day, Hailang found himself sleeping with Cui Yong, who was also ***, with his bare buttocks, and what was even more terrifying was that he felt that his chrysanthemum was on fire, and there was a tearing pain.
Before he could figure out what was going on, Cui Yong turned over, pressed on him, opened his stinky mouth at him, licked him in the face, and said while licking, let's do a morning exercise again.
After being stunned for a long time, the waves finally reacted and began to resist.
Cui Yong's evil fire was on the head, and he didn't have the gentle attitude towards the waves in the past, and the big slap of the pu fan shone on the face of the waves and exhaled, scolding while snoring, you are an eggless bird, if you want to continue to work, you will follow Lao Tzu, you little white face looks like a girl, Lao Tzu originally thought that you were still young and not fully developed, but I didn't know until last night that you were fucking because there were no eggs.
Because Hailang fell into a pot of boiling water when he was a child, his genitals were burned, and he had *** excision surgery to pick up a life. This secret, which made him feel extremely inferior, has now been discovered by Cui Yong.
Like a cat that has been stepped on by the tail, the waves screamed and jumped up, flipping Cui Yong on the bed.
In the struggle, Hailang picked up a pair of scissors on the bedside table and stabbed Cui Yong the shoulder.
Cui Yong screamed in pain, looking at the waves that were emotional and kept waving scissors at him, this big man with a full face and beard couldn't help but feel a little stunned. He just has a bit of a "special hobby" and likes to eat "boy chicken", but he never thought of causing death.
The rabbit bites when he is anxious, this hairy child who usually looks honest and does not squeak after being ridiculed and bullied by his co-workers, is probably really forced to be anxious.
So, Cui Yong immediately changed his face and squeezed out a trace of ugly smile, let's have something to say, I can't see blood, listen to my uncle, put down the scissors, and be good. If your uncle does something wrong, he can give you money to make amends.
Lose your mother's head.
The waves threw the scissors at Cui Yong, and took advantage of the gap between him dodging to open the door and run away.
I can't stay on this site.
The huge humiliation and low self-esteem made Hailang choose to escape, rushed into the shed where he lived, cleaned up a pile of rags, and went home.
But when he returned to the village, he saw that the rammed-earth ancestral house left to him by his grandfather had actually been occupied, or rather demolished, and a tall brick house was erected instead. Of course, the owner of the house is certainly not him.
The head of the ancestral house that occupies Hailang is called Pei Yuanjia, and he is a neighbor of Hailang.
Pei Yuanjia wanted to build his house higher and bigger, but the original homestead area and the adjacent Hailang ancestral house decided that he had to choose a new site to realize this idea.
But looking around, Mr. Feng Shui said that the location of the place where he lives now is the best, and the whole village can't find anything better.
Looking at the dark and empty small earthen house in front of him, Pei Yuanjia, who thought about it, decided to take advantage of the time when the waves were working in the city, demolished it, and then took it for himself and started another high-rise building.
If Hailang is at home and tells this kid that he wants to buy his ancestral house, he may not agree, so why not take advantage of his absence, cut it first and then play? When the raw rice is cooked and cooked, the waves will have to agree if they don't agree, and they won't demolish Lao Tzu's new house, right? Besides, that kid is also a good talker, and he didn't eat at our house when he was a child.
to those who came to negotiate
The village chief and other villagers who cared about the waves, Pei Yuanjia lied to them that he had been looking for the waves in the city, and made an agreement with him to give him a sum of money.
In that country and era where communication basically relied on roaring, Pei Yuanjia relied on this set of rhetoric to successfully deceive the whole village.
Hailang stood outside his ancestral house, thinking that he had made a mistake. When Pei Yuanjia saw the waves, he immediately pulled him into the house, and finally clarified the ins and outs with all his might, and then promised to give the waves a sum of money as compensation.
Hailang felt very uncomfortable, but as Pei Yuanjia expected, he did reach the embarrassing point of having to agree if he didn't agree.
So, in the reluctance of the waves, this verbal agreement to buy and sell can be regarded as reached.
But fate's toss of the waves is far from over. Sometimes it is not only the wicked who bully the honest people, but even fate will join the ranks of the evildoers.
Since Pei Yuanjia couldn't come up with the money for a while and needed a little time to raise it, he left the waves at home for the night that day.
That night, Pei Yuanjia's wife returned to her parents' house, and his two sons were working outside, and he was alone at home with good wine and good food to entertain the waves.
After eating and drinking, the waves went to bed to rest, but Pei Yuanjia suddenly remembered that the nets that were scattered in the river to catch fish had not been put away today, so he went out to the river to collect the nets, but because he drank alcohol, he staggered and fell into the river and drowned.
The next day, some villagers passed by the river and found Pei Yuanjia's body.
In this way, the verbal agreement between Pei Yuanjia and Hailang has become known to God, and only Hailang knows.
