After taking other people's money, Lao Wang naturally smiled and said enthusiastically: "What else do you want to eat? Is a bowl of noodles enough? You are growing tall, so you should eat more, and I will make some for you.
How about cold dishes?”
"No need." The young man declined quickly and asked: "That old Li who was playing chess with you just now, I heard that your mother is bedridden and your daughter is going to high school to pay tuition soon. What's going on?
?”
"Hey, don't mention it! That guy Lao Li is the most miserable in our area! His eighty-year-old mother is just a medicine jar. She keeps taking medicine all day long and takes whatever is expensive. He also has a daughter who is just sixteen years old.
, is going to high school soon, but her grades are not good, and Lao Li doesn’t want to wrong his daughter, so he must let her go to a better high school. I heard that the school selection fee will cost 30,000... Lao Li is the earliest to go to the stall every day and closes the stall.
At the end of the day, all the money he earned fell into these two bottomless pits. If he hadn't been optimistic by nature, most people would have been worried to death!"
Zhou Ming listened without saying a word, lowering his head and thinking about something.
But Lao Wang is still chattering: "No, in a few days it will be the day to pay the protection fee. Each of us old guys are more worried than the other, but the most worried one is definitely Lao Li. We all see it.
, he can’t get a penny out, and it seems a beating is inevitable. We are all poor people, we have too much time to take care of ourselves, and we are really powerless..."[
The young man asked: "Where is this area covered?"
"The Scissors Gang," Lao Wang said, "They are a group of little bastards who are cruel and vicious. The last time I stabbed Lao Chen in the neck with the scissors, it almost killed him!"
A murderous intent suddenly burst out in the young man's eyes, but an ordinary man like Lao Wang couldn't sense it. Once the topic started, he couldn't hold it back anymore, nagging: "There is also the daughter of the old Gu family, last time
He was ruined by the Scissor Gang... Lao Zhou's son had one of his legs broken because he didn't pay the protection fee..." Lao Wang said more than ten things in one breath, some related to the Scissor Gang, and some were troubles in their family.
Some were disrespectful to the elderly, some were discordant between husband and wife, and some were unfilial to their children. It could be said that every family had its own sutras that were difficult to recite, but every time the young man heard one, the murderous intention in his eyes became less and less!
Because he has realized that with his own strength, he cannot help so many people solve their problems. The only thing he can do is to prevent the Scissor Gang from coming here to collect protection fees in the future, and... He rummaged through his pockets and
A thick stack of money was placed on the table. Lao Wang stared at his movements dumbfounded and murmured: "This... this is..."
The young man was upset and said casually: "You should give it to Lao Li...and Lao Zhou...well, and Lao Gu!" He couldn't remember so many names. He only knew that everyone was pitiful and had difficulties.
Can he help one person, ten people, or a hundred people? Who in this wide world can live truly happy and unrestrained? Is this generous young man with a lot of money, doesn't he have sorrow and troubles in his heart?
Lao Wang was still in a daze, but the young man didn't want to stay any longer. He walked out of the food stall and came to the cold street. Looking at the dim lights, he suddenly remembered something and ran back to the food stall. Lao Wang looked at the young man.
I can't help but wonder when I go and come back again.
