Lin Chuan also realized that for him, this food was difficult to swallow, but for Xiang Rui's family, it was delicacies that they relied on for survival.
But Lin Chuan doesn't dislike this because he has also experienced poverty.
In his previous life, he didn't even have a meal for several days, and even Qin Mengying went hungry with him.
So he knew very well how uncomfortable it felt to be hungry.
Over there, Xiang Rui was helping his old father sort out the rags he had picked up. There were a lot of bottles and cans, but they could not be sold for a few cents.
In the scrap collection depots of this era, everything is collected for a few cents, and some items are not even collected at all.
One can imagine why the two of them went to the construction site to pick up steel bars at the risk of being stoned to death.
That's the only thing worth some money, but unfortunately I didn't pick up a few kilograms.
While working, Xiang Rui smiled at Lin Chuan and said, "You're welcome to eat more. If you don't have a place to stay for dinner, you can stay here. I'll set up a tent for you with my dad later. Let's make do with it first."
live,
It’s better than living on the street, right?”
Before Lin Chuan could speak, a very mean female voice suddenly sounded outside the door.
"You still have the mind to care about others, and you don't even care about whether you can live on. I was blind then to marry such a coward like you.
Look at the way you are acting now, people are calling you a trash guy behind your back, but you really think this is an amazing career, it’s simply disgusting!"
The woman's voice was so loud that it made Lin Chuan's eardrums buzz. He put down the bun in his hand and looked at the woman coldly.
This woman was in her thirties, wearing glasses and gold and silver. Her malicious and disgusting eyes were like those of garbage, which made Lin Chuan particularly annoying.
Xiang Rui threw away the stack of paper boxes in his hand, looked at the woman coldly, and asked, "What are you doing here?"
The woman didn't seem to want to stay in this dirty place for a second, so she said extremely impatiently: "Don't talk nonsense to me. I'm here to pick up my son, and my son will live with me from now on!"
"impossible!"
Xiang Rui refused without even thinking.
"It's impossible for your son to leave with you, so give up!"
The woman sneered and said with disdain: "See if you have the strength to feed your son. If you continue to yell at me, you can't even feed yourself, what are you going to feed your son?"
If your child follows you, a loser, you will only delay his life. But I am different. Now that I am married to a rich man, I can give my child the best life.
If you still have some self-respect, give me your son and don’t waste your worthless face!"
Xiang Rui gritted his teeth in anger.
This is his first wife.
The original vow of eternal love could not withstand the torture of life after all.
Now he seems like an enemy.
But Xiang Rui still needs that backbone.
He said coldly: "Liu Xiuli, let me tell you the truth, don't have any ideas about your children. Do you think I don't know what you think?
Marrying a rich man, as you can tell, is just marrying an old man who is almost eighty years old and has no children.
If you want my son to be his son, don’t even think about it. Although I am poor, I am not as inhumane as you!"
Liu Xiuli's face was full of disdain and taking it for granted.
He even said angrily: "What's wrong, old man? I'm better than you at that. We eat meat and drink wine every day, and play different tricks every night. We just have this strength.
Don't sound so noble. After all, don't you just want money? As long as you give me your son, fifty thousand yuan will be yours. How about it? Fifty thousand yuan is a lot for you, right?
You can never earn so much money by picking up rags in your life!"
Xiang Rui's father couldn't stand listening anymore. The old man said coldly with a gloomy face: "We are poor, but we don't make money by selling our children. It's unethical.
You'd better go, as long as I'm alive, you can't take the child away!"
Liu Xiuli still wanted to curse, so Xiang Rui picked up a wooden stick next to her and shouted angrily: "Are you leaving?"
Seeing that Xiang Rui was about to take action, Liu Xiuli took a few timid steps back and shouted: "Xiang Rui, you are a beast, I will definitely snatch the child back, just wait and see!"
"roll!"
Xiang Rui threw the wooden stick directly at Liu Xiuli's feet, scaring her so much that she screamed and ran out of the yard without looking back.
Even so, Xiang Rui still endured the pain in his heart and continued to work gritted his teeth.
The old man also had nothing to say, and continued to sort out the tatters that held the hope of feeding the family, but he was powerless against the cruel reality.
Lin Chuan also put down the steamed bun, stood up slowly and said with a smile: "Brother Xiang, it's nothing special. Everyone's life is full of ups and downs. Although it's a low point now, you can always get out of it.
I always believe that good people are rewarded!"
Xiang Rui forced out a smile and sighed: "You're right, it's really nothing special. No matter how hard it is, I will still raise my son!"
Lin Chuan nodded and said affirmatively: "That's good. I also thank you for the full meal you gave me today. So, I can't help you with anything else. I am quite familiar with a person at the construction site.
He is a fellow countryman of mine, and he promised me that I can go to the construction site to pick up steel bars at night. It’s not too early now, so why don’t you come with me? How much can I pick up by myself?”
When the two heard this, the gloom on their faces was instantly wiped away, and they even said excitedly: "Is this really possible?"
Lin Chuan said very firmly: "It will definitely work. That's what my fellow villager told me personally. Let's go there now!"
What else was there to say? The two men quickly picked up the bag. The old man was afraid that he would not be able to carry it after picking up too much, so he pushed it on a three-wheeler and followed Lin Chuan towards the construction site talking and laughing.
Linghong, who had always been protecting Lin Chuan, immediately understood the gesture given by Lin Chuan and quickly made arrangements.
Lin Chuan walked into the construction site, and Wen Yudong, who was also dressed as a worker, said loudly: "Where the hell did your kid die? I promised to give you the removed steel bars, don't you want it?"
An angry Lin Chuan glared at him fiercely, thinking to himself that this guy finally found an opportunity to take advantage, right?
But for the sake of acting, Lin Chuan still nodded and bowed and said: "Who said no? I'm here right now?"
As he talked, Lin Chuan looked like he was gnashing his teeth.
However, Wen Yudong enjoyed it very much and said while holding back his laughter: "Don't talk nonsense to me. If it weren't for the fact that you are my fellow countryman, I would have slapped you with my mouth."
Also, our stupid boss is in a hurry to push back the progress of the project. For the sake of my fellow countrymen, I will give you a chance. The steel bars and other things here have been contracted to you, can you do it?"
