19 The cage of poverty
"So, Brother Wu owes you a life, I should have helped you kill people last time, and you gave a reward of more than 1,000 people, I think these two people can use it with confidence."
"What's more, the Wu brothers didn't do anything evil before, and it was only after they were put in a cell and killed that they became fierce and daring to fight for their lives."
"I think the brothers I have received so far are all reliable." Lard Boy Road.
In addition, when Wu Shihao was recuperating from his injuries in the bone-setting hall, the lard boy often went to visit, and he also paid the medical expenses, so he knew something about Wu Shihao.
Otherwise, Wu Shihao would not have come with him to sell movie tickets, and now selling movie tickets is a good job for him, and the two brothers cherish this job very much.
He Dingxian also nodded and asked, "So, do you want to set up a name?" ”
"Don't be funny!"
Lard boy shouted loudly: "How can I be a bad person, how can I set up a name, and there are professional managers who should not be old boys?" ”
"In the future, if Brother Xian is promoted, I can still do your rent collection." Lard Boy had a smirk on his face: "Yes, yes, Brother Xian? ”
He Dingxian shook his head: "Inspector Hua is qualified to be a rent collector, I'm still far away, but I can indeed be a professional manager." ”
"You have this talent." He affirmed the ability of the lard boy, and the lard boy also let out a smug laugh: "Hey, hey, thank you, brother Xian." ”
"I accepted the Wu brothers into the movie store, but I was afraid that someone else would step on it, and someone could go up at a critical time."
"After all, you can't stay in front of the movie store day and night, and the movie store is opening more and more, and I'm afraid that someone will look at the business and make trouble."
He Dingxian nodded: "You also heard Chief Cai's words last time, it's really okay to guard against one hand, but don't take Ah Hao and them to go the wrong way." ”
"We're not a mixed club."
Lard boy nodded and said, "I know, no one will let the big guy be a good mule in the mud, by the way, when will Brother Xian give me a raise?" ”
He Dingxian shook his head with an expression that he couldn't do anything about him and said, "When the store opens in Yau Ma Tei, I will increase your salary by two hundred yuan." ”
"Thank you, Brother Xian!"
Lard Boy shouted flatteredly.
Ni Kun pulled the car harder.
Lard Boy finally asked: "I think the two Wu brothers dare to fight, are they deliberately cultivated?" Maybe there will be a surprise in the future. ”
He Dingxian shook his head as he stepped off the rickshaw: "No need, the people who are enough for Babi will stand up by themselves, and those who can't stand up will hit the street!" ”
A real fierce man doesn't need a gang.
There is no need for him to give grace to the Wu brothers, no one knows what kind of people the Wu brothers are, if he raises a white-eyed wolf, wouldn't it be even more of a loss.
Before he helps people, he needs to see the value of the other party, which can be excellent character, talent, or hard enough business ability......
In short, he has no habit of giving favors to others, and talented people don't like to owe favors to others, and if they really want to win over and promote someone, they have to wait for the other party to stand up before helping them.
"Understood, Brother Xian."
Lard boy replied.
Ni Kun wiped his sweat, watched the two of them enter the movie store before and after, and secretly remembered that sentence in his heart.
Ho Ting-yin paid the salaries of the employees of the Kowloon Tong branch again, and finally took a car to the third movie store in Sham Shui Po, met all the twelve guys in the store, paid the salaries by hand, and at about 8 o'clock in the evening, when the bright moon was high, he took a rickshaw back to the wooden house in Shek Kip Mei.
He saw that Ni Kun was panting when he put down the car, so he asked his mother to come out with a glass of water, and when Ni Kun finished drinking the water, he took out two Hong Kong dollars of ten yuan and handed them forward: "Hard work, Ah Kun." ”
"Yes, Chief Ho." Ni Kun took the 20 Hong Kong dollars with a smile on his face, and Peng Lingshan saw the appearance of the offspring working hard for life, and she was a little unbearable, and she didn't get back the money given by her son.
At present, the price of the Kowloon rickshaw is between one and three yuan, and the highest price is not more than three yuan, but it is not too much to pay 20 yuan for the car at night, and it is not too much to pay 20 yuan.
On weekdays, when Ni Kun picks up the car alone, he earns a maximum of more than ten Hong Kong dollars a day, and he has to hand over a part of it to the club, and he is tired and tired of working no more than 150 yuan a month, and it may be dozens of yuan when it is low.
You can earn 20 yuan a night, if you can earn 20 yuan a day, it will be 600 yuan a month, but unfortunately He Dingxian will not pay his salary every day, about 300 yuan a month, and the monthly income of ordinary poor people is at this level, and ordinary police officers really can't afford to call a car.
Coupled with the private goods during the rest time, Ni Kun's monthly income can double that of before, and he must be satisfied.
At night.
After He Dingxian went to bed, he saw the pure ecological wooden planks on the ceiling, and he didn't even touch the burrs, and thought of the more than 10,000 wooden houses in Shek Kip Wei, each wooden house was less than two meters apart, and the few housing villages were less than a few dozen meters apart, what should I do if there was a fire.
The nearest fire station is in the Mong Kok area, and it takes 20 minutes to drive over, and 20 minutes is enough time to burn Shek Kip Mei into a fire city, and the reason why Shek Kip Mei Housing Village can be demolished and resettled by the Hong Kong government is because of the extremely bad fire, which directly affected tens of thousands of wooden houses, produced more than 100,000 victims, caused more than 1,000 people to die in the fire, and nearly 2,000 people died or disappeared or lost due to stampede and homicide.
In the era of no surveillance, the fire means the loss of order, the greatest evil, in the era of no mobile phones, it is difficult to see each other when you are lost, and you don't know where to go when you say goodbye.
The Hong Kong government's inability to turn a blind eye has also left the people of Shek Kip Mei Village without access to electricity, and can only use the cheapest "fire water" and "incense candles", which is not only easy to blind people's eyes, but also very easy to cause fires.
Poverty is a cage.
Always lock up the poor and make it impossible for people to get out.
Thinking of this, He Dingxian suddenly opened his mouth and shouted to the next room: "Mother, take you to move next month!" ”
In the house where there was no soundproofing at all, there was an angry scolding from her mother Peng Lingshan: "Where to move? This is the house that I built with you Lao Dou one by one on the hill chopping wood! ”
He Dingxian said: "At least move to a place with electric lights!" ”
After a long time, there was a response in the dark: "Hit the street, you have the ability......"
A month later, Ho Ting-yin and his mother moved out of the wooden house under the envious eyes of the neighbors in the housing estate, and lived in a building on Shanghai Street in Yau Ma Tei.
Shek Kip Mei Housing Village is all illegally built without a title deed, and it cannot be sold for a price until it is burned down and resettled, and only the poorest people will live in it.
