Seeing this, Ye Qiu threw down his cigarette and walked over with the others.
"Xinna?"
"who?"
The woman was holding the key to open the door. She was startled when she heard this, and then looked at Ye Qiu and the others with vigilance and fear. "Don't be nervous. Your sister asked us to check on your situation. What happened in the Siam Parliament in the past two days
The society is in turmoil and all walks of life are in chaos. We encountered robbers on the way here, so your sister wants you to go to Nutao City to live.
live."
Ye Qiu looked at the other party, and from chatting with the landlady, he learned that her second sister was almost thirty.
But looking at the other party's appearance, she is short and very thin. If it weren't for the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, she might look like a stunted little girl.
Look at her back, which is a little hunched over. This is because she has been engaged in heavy physical work for a long time, which has caused some deformation of her body.
Recall the hotel proprietress who had a wide waist and a fat body.
Born to the same parents, I didn't expect them to be so different.
When Xinna heard this, she didn't pay attention to her sister's words. Instead, she asked blankly: "There is turmoil in the Congress?"
Ye Qiu raised his eyebrows: "Don't you know?"
Xin Na shook her head and said numbly: "I don't know. I have been working in the factory. I go out at 6 in the morning and can't go home until 10 in the evening. I don't care what happens in the Congress."
After speaking, he laughed at himself: "I don't even know what the weather will be like today, because seeing the sky during the day is a luxury for me."
Ye Qiu didn't speak, just nodded.
This is a normal thing. For some people in poor areas, the only thing they care about is how to survive.
As for what the country is like and what the world is like, it doesn't matter to them at all, and they don't care.
After all, it is difficult to survive.
Perhaps ordinary people in China are more concerned about the future of Siam than these people.
At this moment, the door was opened.
A voice came out.
"Xinna, are you back?"
"Yes, Brother Lin." Xinna turned around and asked, "Is everyone else asleep?"
"Everyone is asleep. Xiao Wei and I are going to work the night shift. We are the only ones who didn't sleep." A middle-aged man pushed a bicycle and walked out, followed by a little boy who looked to be eleven or twelve years old, looking up numbly.
He glanced at Ye Qiu and the others, then lowered his head indifferently and got on the middle-aged man's car.
Man's bicycle takes off.
They seemed not at all interested in these strangers appearing late at night, nor did they care about Xinna's safety.
Ye Qiu watched them leave and asked, "Didn't your sister say that you and your third sister are the only ones in the house? Are they?"
Xin Na nodded: "They are my tenants. After my parents passed away, they left three rooms. I divided each room into two and rented them to others."
Ye Qiu: "With so many tenants, you still have to work until this point every day?"
Xin Na shook her head: "They are all rented to some ordinary people. They don't make much money, which is enough for my daily expenses. The wages in the factory are low, and the prices are getting higher and higher, so the money is becoming less and less useful."
"
"And I also want to send my third sister to school."
When she said this, a smile appeared on Xin Na's face: "She was admitted to Jingdong University last year. As long as she graduates and works in a few years, I will be able to relax a lot."
Ye Qiu said: "We just have a message to help your sister see how you are." Xin Na nodded, hesitated and said: "It's been a bit chaotic recently. I didn't even know that something happened in the Congress. Come with me
As a female worker, five people have been robbed in the evening, but it’s better to forget about going to Nutao City. If Lina doesn’t
It’s okay to go to college. Now I want to wait for her to finish her studies. Besides, it’s not easy for my sister. Her husband..."
Then she muttered a few words in a low voice and remained silent.
"This is your wish."
Ye Qiu didn't say anything more. He took out a wad of money from his pocket and handed it to her: "This is what your sister gave you."
The proprietress finally asked Ye Qiu and the others to help bring a thousand dollars over. It could be seen that the business of the small hotel was not very good. I wonder if it was her private money.
"Thanks."
Xin Na showed a relaxed look on her face. It seemed that her life had been very stressful recently. This amount of money was a considerable unexpected income for her.
"By the way, I'm sorry, I didn't invite you to come in and sit down."
Xin Na said as she remembered something. In fact, she only relaxed her vigilance at this time.
"No, we are going to Jingdong next, we don't have time."
Ye Qiu waved his hand. "Are you going to Jingdong?" Xin Na's eyes lit up when she heard this, and asked: "Can I ask you for a favor? My sister is studying at Jingdong University. I don't know if she has a mobile phone these two days.
Lost, I have been unable to contact her, can you
Can you help me go see her?"
Ye Qiu shook his head: "We have other things to do."
Xinna had a look of disappointment on her face when she heard this.
"But if you drop by, I can help you take a look."
Ye Qiu did not completely refuse. "That's great. My sister's name is Lina. She is a cute girl with a round face. She is not tall, a little shorter than me. She is from the Engineering Department of Jingdong University. If you can meet
To her, please let her call me and tell me
One sound."
After Xin Na finished speaking, she said sheepishly: "My sister asked you to run away, and now I'm in trouble for you again. I'm sorry."
"nothing."
Ye Qiu nodded, waved goodbye, and left with the others.
Walked a little further.
Li Li turned around and could still see Xin Na standing at the door under the dim light, watching them leave from a distance. He didn't know whether she had gone back until they disappeared around the corner.
In fact, the other party was still a little wary, and only after watching them leave could he feel confident entering the house.
Li Li withdrew his gaze, his face a little heavy:
"On the one hand, you can work for half a day in Nutao City and have half a day off, but here, you work 16 hours a day and there are so many tenants, but you can't make much money." "When I was under house arrest in the witch sect,
Some books I read recorded that Siam’s per capita income is among the highest in the world. Later, after it came out, the information I learned on the Internet also showed that Siam’s per capita income is almost 10%.
Twice that of other countries.”
"But why does it seem like her life is so difficult, and her tenants actually have such young children, and they have to work night shifts? Are children of this age still studying in China?"
Lin Jingyun sighed, thinking of some past events, and said slowly:
"According to normal data, the world average level, a country's rural population should remain between 30% and 50%.
Although Siam's per capita income is twice that of neighboring countries, 90% of its people live in rural areas and 10% live in cities. Wealth is highly concentrated in 10% of the urban population.
The higher their per capita income is, the more obvious the gap between the rich and the poor will be, and the separation between the poor and the rich in society will become more distorted, and the people at the bottom will be less able to make money." Ye Qiu knocked.
Eyebrow: "Actually, Siam's economic environment was very good more than 20 years ago. However, since the financial crisis in 1997, Western capital took the opportunity to carry out a large-scale sweep in Siam, causing a large number of bankruptcies.
, countless people lost their jobs, and Siam’s economy has been sluggish since then. And this is what capital needs, they need cheap labor, they need cheap resources, and the 10% of the population is to help Western capital see
The guard dogs guarding this treasure house only need to serve Western capital obediently.
, can enjoy endless prosperity and wealth, how could they care about the people at the bottom?" Zhang Hongfei sighed: "Especially in recent years, in order to attack our manufacturing industry, Nanya has indeed continued to open factories and recruit workers.
, in order to seize the market, even labor laws have been reluctant to be introduced,
As a result, workers' wages are very low. As a result, due to imperfect infrastructure, their products are often unable to be transported out, and raw materials from outside cannot be transported in, creating a vicious cycle."
Lin Jingyun said: "To make matters worse, Siam's real estate has also been targeted by capital. In the first quarter of this year, all house prices have increased by 30%, which is another major blow to the bottom class." Zhang Hongfei turned around.
He looked at this neighborhood with pity: "This old neighborhood will probably be spotted by real estate developers soon. Given the situation in Siam, they may not be able to get much compensation, and may even be forced to pay for their property."
They buy new houses and take on large loans." "Otherwise they have to go back to their hometown. But at least we still have fields in our hometown. Once they leave here, where can they go? If they are not lucky, they may have to go back to their hometown.
Become a homeless person, and then one day be raped by a criminal gang
He stared at him and disappeared into the crowd."
Long Ji said in a deep voice: "This is the ugliness of capital. Once this train starts, no one can make it stop."
Everyone felt a little heavy for a while.
In fact, the main reason is that after experiencing the leisurely life of ordinary people in Nutao City, when I came to Kunrong City across the river, I saw a completely opposite scene, which was too obvious in comparison.
Luo Liang broke the silence and asked: "When we go to Jingdong, do we really want to help her see her sister?"
Ye Qiu shook his head: "No, I just said it casually."
Luo Liang didn't understand very much: "Then why in Nutao City, when the landlady asked, would you agree? Aren't they all along the way?" Ye Qiu looked at him: "At home, we can be bolder, but abroad, no one can
You can’t believe everything you say, and you can’t completely disbelieve it. Who knows if this is a trap, so the best thing to do is to ignore it.
Of course, it all depends on the situation.”
Luo Liang hesitated: "But..."
Ye Qiu understood what he meant and said, "Are you worried that her sister, who has not been heard from for two days and has been in trouble, will be kidnapped by the criminal groups like your fiancée?"
Luo Liang nodded and did not hide it: "I am indeed a little worried."
Ye Qiu patted his shoulder: "In that case, we will accompany you to take a look when the time comes."
Luo Liang said in surprise: "Didn't you say there might be danger? Since there is a risk, let's not go. I'm just a little worried, but there is no need to take this risk."
"There are indeed risks." Ye Qiu's lips curled up slightly: "But we are Long Yan, we - have nothing to fear!"
