Chapter 18: The Despair of the Little Man
The young man's face was a little ugly, although he couldn't compare to Huo Dongjun's dazzling appearance, but he had been in the club "Lianhongyi" for two years, and he had seen some of the market, but because of Huo Dongjun's current reputation, he couldn't help but say:
"Brother Jun, don't make it difficult for us to be junior brothers, you know, how can we take it back when the account is on you, Brother Jie will definitely let us fill in the numbers by ourselves. β
Huo Dongjun saw the depressed expression on this guy's face and asked, "What's your name?"
The young man lowered his head: "My name is Ah Crab." β
"When did I say that I would pit your number, every ten days you come to me, I will give you money, I just want to find trouble, and I will also go to Gui Lijie, I will not move you, rest assured. β
Even if Huo Dongjun said this, Ah Crab still didn't believe it, and walked towards the corridor slowly, and finally Chen Hao pushed him: "Let's go! If you don't go, do you still want Brother Jun to invite you to tea! Stupid!
Huo Dongjun ignored the crabs and the others, and helped Chen Guobang into his home that was also like a pigeon cage, Tong Baoling, who was holding his eldest daughter in July, had tears on his face not dry, and reached out to help push the door, as soon as the door opened, the pungent smell of Chinese medicine rushed towards Huo Dongjun and Chen Hao's noses, and Chen Hao couldn't help but sneeze!
"Brother Bang, you don't want to open a pharmacy, this smell is even bigger than that of Yu Yan Pharmacy!"
"Hey!" Huo Dongjun spoke up to stop Chen Hao from continuing: "If you can't speak, shut up and help!"
Chen Hao was stunned, stopped talking, and helped Huo Dongjun help Chen Guobang into the house and sit on a dilapidated single sofa.
Chen Guobang looked ahead with blank eyes, his pupils looked unfocused, Huo Dongjun lifted his shirt and looked at it, the four of them were not too heavy, Chen Guobang's body only had a few patches of red and purple, and only the corner of his mouth was bleeding.
"Brother Bang?" Huo Dongjun saw that Chen Guobang's expression was not normal, and he did not leave in a hurry, but instead pulled a stool and sat over, and asked out loud.
Chen Guobang was stunned for a few seconds before slowly twisting his head towards Huo Dongjun, but although his eyes looked like he was staring at Huo Dongjun again, it gave Huo Dongjun the impression that Chen Guobang was not looking at himself at all, but looking behind him through himself.
"Jun, why are you here?"
Tong Baoling over there was holding the child, although the clothes worn by the little girl looked like they were changed from adult clothes, but the pink little face was very cute, and the big eyes were bright, as if she couldn't feel the heavy atmosphere of the family, and she was crying just now She was staring curiously at the red package of bone-setting medicine in Chen Hao's hand at this time.
Tong Baoling took out two cups and wanted to pour water for the two, but Huo Dongjun stretched out his hand to stop her: "Sister Baoling, don't bother, what's wrong with Brother Bang?"
Tong Baoling is twenty-four years old, since the age of sixteen, known as the flower of Hele Village, with a sweet appearance and graceful figure, Huo Dongjun was taken by Chen Guobang when he was a child I don't know how many times I tried to peek at Tong Baoling taking a bath, so to speak, almost all of the rotten boys in Hele Village take Tong Baoling as a fantasy object when they are handjob, although they live in poverty at this time, they are wearing the most ordinary cheap women's clothes, even if they have a sad face at this time, they all have a beauty that makes people palpitate, with long hair hanging down, with a low head, with gloomy eyes, like the name of a famous Western painting, the goddess of sufferingγ
Hearing Huo Dongjun's question, Tong Baoling glanced at Chen Guobang, shook her head, and her beautiful eyes were stunned under her beautiful long eyebrows: "I don't know, I only found out that Abang borrowed a loan shark when people came to the door today." β
"The bone-setting wine that Chen Hao bought just now is not suitable, Sister Baoling took the trouble to go to get a bottle of red oil from Shen Po Hui, and I will help Brother Bang rub some medicine. Huo Dongjun's back clothes were gently pulled by Chen Guobang, knowing that Chen Guobang didn't want Tong Baoling to know about something, so he opened his mouth and said to Tong Baoling.
Tong Baoling is a typical traditional woman, she has no opinions, she is completely at the opposite end of Huo Dongjun's mother, Sister Lan, and belongs to the kind of woman who may not be able to live without a man's support.
Huo Dongjun raised his chin at Chen Hao: "Follow Sister Baoling, if Gui Lijie's people stay downstairs, ask Le Zai and them to drive them away." β
Chen Hao didn't want to stay in the pungent room, and when he heard Huo Dongjun's order, he went out and closed the door carefully.
Only Huo Dongjun and Chen Guobang were left in the room, Huo Dongjun took out a cigarette and helped Chen Guobang light one, and asked:
"What's wrong, Brother Bond?"
After sitting down and resting for a while, Chen Guobang's spirit was a little better, and when he heard Huo Dongjun's question, this tall and strong young man smiled desperately:
"Ah Jun, I divorced your sister Baoling, and I went to the court the day before yesterday to make the final discussion. β
Huo Dongjun didn't say anything, Chen Guobang's feelings for Sister Baoling are needless to say, when he was still the blue lantern of a club, he was willing to change the evil and return to the right for Sister Baoling, if there was no reason, Chen Guobang would never do such a thing.
"I have brain cancer, I went to the hospital a month ago to find out, it is already advanced, the doctor only has a few months to live, your sister Baoling doesn't know at all, and only when I have a nervous headache, I go to the pharmacy all day to buy medicine to help me cook. Chen Guobang took a puff of cigarette, coughed twice and continued.
Huo Dongjun's heart sank, if it was other diseases, he could still help Brother Bang with some money, but with brain cancer, how much money was useless.
"So you borrowed 20,000 yuan from a loan shark and divorced Sister Baoling, do you want to leave some money for their mother and daughter?" Huo Dongjun looked at the furnishings in the room, which looked even more messy and cramped than his own home, the small room inside should be the bedroom, and the outer living room was not only the sofa under Chen Guobang and the chair he was sitting on, but also a dining table and an old-fashioned wardrobe, which filled the entire living room, and even five people couldn't stand.
"What else should I do? Your sister Baoling told me some time ago that her family is not enough, and she wants to go to the Finnish bath in Wan Chai to be a bone field girl and make some quick money. The expression on Chen Guobang's face was only this one, calm and sad in despair.
"Not only Gui Lijie, but also borrowed several other loan sharks, a total of 70,000 yuan, in a few days I will let her find a place to live, far away from me, I will die anyway, it doesn't matter. β
Huo Dongjun felt depressed in his heart: "Have you found the Welfare Department?"
"Of course I found it, I was told that if I had to schedule a date, it would take more than a year before I had time to call a social worker to come to the door to investigate, and for more than a year, your mother, just go to the cemetery to investigate!" Chen Guobang held a cigarette: "My eyes often suddenly turn black now, and the doctor said that it was because the tumor pressed the nerve of the vision, so the taxi did not dare to run, for fear that before I could settle their mother and daughter, I would die first." β
"Brother Bang, do you think that loan sharks are only chasing you alone? How can it be so easy, if you die, they will naturally go to Sister Baoling, Sister Baoling moved away, her parents are still in the estate, Hong Kong is only so big, those associations are the easiest to find people, if you can't run away, you can't pay off these accounts, how can Sister Baoling and her daughter pay it back, and the end end is either Polan Street or Shanghai Road. Huo Dongjun didn't want to tell the reality, but if Chen Guobang really thought that Sister Baoling would be fine if she left the estate with the money, then he thought about usury too simply, as long as the debtor was in Hong Kong, the usury would always be found.
"I regret it now, I didn't enter the good club, I came back to drive a taxi, if I mixed the club, although it was dangerous, at least Baoling could still live some beautiful days with me, but after a few years of marriage, there was nothing left except to accompany me to endure hardships. It's you, Ah Jun, now the people of Guilijie don't dare to speak loud when they see you, you are majestic. β
"I also want to do the right thing, Brother Bang, I have a magazine club to start work in a few days, just ask Sister Baoling to go to work in the magazine club, and the child will be taken care of by Sister Baoling's parents, you just have a good rest." Huo Dongjun felt that he had nothing to help the family, so he took out the remaining more than 3,000 yuan from his pocket, put it on the table and stood up: "This money buys some food, adults don't eat it, children have to eat it, those accounts, I will go and tell the moneylender, transfer it to me." If there's anything you want to help, remember to say it. β
After speaking, without waiting for Chen Guobang to respond, Huo Dongjun pushed open the door and walked out, he really couldn't do anything about Chen Guobang.
After returning to his home, Sister Lan hadn't come back yet, seeing that there was no food on the table, she knew that Sister Lan hadn't come back to eat at noon, and it was estimated that she was hungry and rushing to work, Huo Dongjun took out the 40,000 settlement fee from the wooden box, turned around and went downstairs.
He was going to go to Han Zhongli Immortal Master Temple to rent a workshop.
Xianshi Temple is a little far away from Yuehua Street, go downstairs and stand on Yuehua Street Huo Dongjun stretched out his hand to stop the car, saw Chen Hao was accompanying Sister Baoling upstairs, saw Huo Dongjun Chen Hao also shook his head, signaled that he didn't see Gui Lijie, and then said a few words to Sister Baoling, and ran to Huo Dongjun's side:
"Go to the side, Brother Jun?"
"Go and see the workshop, you go to do things by yourself, and I go alone. Huo Dongjun said: "Remember to give yourself a pill." β
"What am I doing?, how can I do anything?" Chen Hao said casually.
Huo Dongjun turned to look at Chen Hao: "You now have three video game stores and five horse pens under your hands, do you say you have anything to do?" Tonight is the first day we planted flags in these stores, there will definitely be people looking for trouble, if you can't do it, those other clubs will have the courage to step in and watch the scene, of course!"
Chen Hao nodded, touched his half-length hair and said, "Don't worry, Brother Jun, I know what to do! Let's go! The taxi is coming!"
Chen Hao watched Huo Dongjun get into the car, and then walked towards the field of Xian Shiwen.
Huo Dongjun got off the car at the Xianshi Temple, turned the corner, and was about to cross along the zebra crossing to the opposite side, when two PTU assault cars rushed out of the corner with a roar, startling Huo Dongjun.
This workshop is only a wall away from the Kwun Tong Police Station, for Huo Dongjun, the magazine is the safest place to open here, as for the printing house, Huo Dongjun has finalized in his heart the Oriental Yinghua Printing Company, the subordinate industry of the "Oriental Daily" newspaper group, the most important thing is that no one in the rivers and lakes should be looking for trouble with this printing company at this time, because the behind-the-scenes boss of this company is one of the four major families in Hong Kong who are in Taiwan at the moment "White Powder Horse" Ma Xiru, even if the Ma family fled away because of the storm of clean government, but Hong Kong has many industries, and several capable subordinates are still there, although "Chaolianyi" is no longer a big community on the rivers and lakes, but it is best to rank within the top 20, no matter which community, if you want to move the Oriental newspaper industry, you must weigh your own strength.
Looking at the empty factory, Huo Dongjun stepped in and said to the older man in the watchman's pavilion:
"Hello uncle, I want to rent this factory. β
