When people see these two words, they often have endless associations, such as villas, cars, dogs, exotic women... In short, it means a luxurious, wealthy, and happy life that people yearn for.
However, not every immigrant's life is so beautiful. Lin Defa is a counterexample. His immigrant life was full of bitterness and bitterness, and could even be said to be one tragedy after another.
Before Lin Defa came to Xiangjiang, he had been farming in Shikeng Village. Although that was more than ten years ago, even more than ten years ago, the villagers in Shikeng Village rarely relied on farming to make a living.
Those who are capable are looking for other ways to survive, and only a small number of people who have no skills, no means, and no ability are still living a life with their faces facing the loess and their backs facing the sky!
Lin Defa is one of these few people!
The poverty and despondency of his life made him desperately want to find a way out.
When his long-lost uncle Lin Libao came back from Xiangjiang to visit relatives, he felt that his day of success had finally come!
Lin Libao took refuge in Xiangjiang during the war, and has obtained legal permanent residence in Xiangjiang. Not only has he not married, but he is already over sixty years old. According to this condition, he can take his children and settle there. In addition,
Lin Defa was adopted to Lin Libao when he was very young.
After many hardships, Lin Defa finally got his wish and brought his wife and a pair of young children to Hong Kong with a legal status. However, after changing the mirror, life was far from as beautiful as he imagined.
Lin Libao is a lonely old man in Xiangjiang, suffering from diseases, and has been living on Comprehensive Social Security Assistance, that is, relief money. Therefore, even if Lin Defa and his family are brought to Xiangjiang, they will not be able to get anything except a legal residence status.
In the first few years, Lin Defa and his wife suffered a lot. Without skills or diplomas, they could not sell anything but their hard work.
At that time, Lin Defa worked on the construction site during the day and went out to sea with short-distance fishing boats to pull nets at night. His frail wife took care of the children in the village house and stringed plastic flowers. Although he had enough food and clothing, his life was worse than in Shikeng Village.
Even tighter.
It wasn't until two years later that Lin Libao passed away unexpectedly. Lin Defa received a small sum of insurance money and opened a small bookstore in Paradise. By selling newspapers, books and restricted magazines, life gradually became better.
Get started.
However, the good times did not last long, and when life was just starting to look promising, my frail wife fell ill and was diagnosed with cancer.
In order to treat his wife's illness, Lin Defa not only spent all his savings, but also suffered from physical and mental exhaustion, but in the end it was of no avail and his wife finally died of the illness.
After his wife passed away, Lin Defa didn't know whether it was due to the depression of losing a loved one or the illness caused by years of hard work. It didn't take long for him to develop various physical discomforts. Later, he was no longer able to work normally and could only recuperate at home.
At that time, Lin Peiru had just graduated from middle school and was admitted to Xiangjiang University. However, facing such an embarrassing situation at home, she could no longer go to school selfishly. She could only give up her studies and take over the bookstore, taking care of her father and supporting Lin's education.
Although life was hard, we could barely survive. However, after a few years, the Internet began to become popular, and people read books online instead. The publishing industry was in recession, and fewer and fewer people bought and rented books. Even those who bought restricted-grade books
Magazine buyers also began to download Japanese films online, and the business of bookstores became increasingly sluggish.
It happened that at this time, the leader of Heshengtang who was previously in charge of this area was killed, and then a new gang emerged.
Not only does this Xinxing Gang charge protection fees, but they also charge twice as much as Heshengtang did before, making the surrounding merchants miserable!
But this is undoubtedly not the most tragic thing. What is even more tragic is that Hong Qiang, one of the three major thieves of the Xinxing Gang, also took a fancy to Lin Peiru and would come to harass her from time to time.
One time, when Hong Qiang was pestering Lin Peiru in the bookstore, Lin Di, who happened to be returning from Hong Kong University at the weekend, bumped into him. He was so energetic that he couldn't bear it, so he immediately rushed forward.
Lin Di has been fond of dancing with spears and sticks since he was a child. He has been practicing Taekwondo since he was in middle school. At this time, he was already a black belt in Taekwondo. At that time, Hong Qiang brought two followers and had no dick, so he was beaten by Lin Di until his shit was all over the floor.
Looking for teeth.
After beating the man away, Di Lin naively thought that the matter was over! But little did he know that he had stirred up a hornet's nest and caused endless disasters to himself and his family.
Not two days later, Lin Di returned to Xiangjiang to go to school, but as soon as he left, Hong Qiang came with a lot of people, not only smashed the bookstore, but also beat Lin Defa who happened to be in the store at the time.
Seriously injured!
However, that's all, that's it. Hong Qiang actually asked Lin Peiru to come to his door and stay with him for a month, otherwise the matter would not be over yet.
After Lin heard the news, he immediately rushed home and took his father to the hospital with his sister.
He is a bloody man, and he is not willing to give up when he encounters such a humiliating thing. After leaving his sister to take care of his father in the hospital, he began to plot revenge.
After many inquiries, Lin Di learned that Hong Qiang often visited a place called "Jiangli Nightclub" in Yuanlang District.
Although a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, he is not stupid enough to break in because the nightclub that Hong Qiang frequents is also the stronghold of the Xinxing Gang in Yuanlang District. As a black belt in Taekwondo, although he can fight, he can only fight.
It can only deal with seven or eight people at the same time, but there are at least seventy or eighty people in the Xinxing Gang stronghold.
If you can't break through forcefully, you can only capture it wisely!
Lin Di patiently waited near the nightclub and waited for three days and three nights. He finally got the chance.
That night, Hong Qiang was drunk and came out of the nightclub with a charming woman in his arms. There was not a large group of boys swarming around him as usual. There were only two followers, the ones who had been beaten by Lin Di before.
Those two.
When they came out, Lin Di held back and did not take action. Instead, he slowly followed them in the dilapidated van that the bookstore usually used to purchase goods.
When they reached a relatively remote section of road, Lin Di stepped on the accelerator and slammed into Hong Qiang's Mercedes-Benz.
The car was hit, and Hong Qiang's two younger brothers got out of the car angrily and cursed. Without saying a word, Brother Lin pulled out a baseball bat and pounced on him!
How could these two young men be Lin Di's opponents? They were knocked down in three strokes, five divided by two, and then Lin Di kidnapped Hong Qiang, who was still drunk, from the car and took him to a abandoned ship in a nearby fishing village.
.
After beating him hard all night, knocking out a row of his teeth, and even breaking off one of his hands, Brother Lin solemnly warned him that if he dared to cause trouble next time, he would be killed.
!
The next few days were calm, and Hong Qiang seemed to have really learned his lesson and did not dare to trouble them again. However, just when he relaxed his vigilance, a fire suddenly broke out in the bookstore for no apparent reason, and everything inside was destroyed.
Burned to pieces.
Lin Di, who reacted very quickly, immediately realized that this was Hong Qiang's revenge, and immediately asked his sister to come back from the hospital to pack her luggage and prepare to leave Xiangjiang and seek refuge elsewhere.
But in the end, they were still a step too slow. Before they could pack their things, Hong Qiang had already led his troops and killed the guy!
Upon entering, Hong Qiang put a gun to Lin Peiru's head, and Lin Di, who had already grabbed the kitchen knife, was forced to give up resistance.
Then, there was a scene that Lin Hao saw in a public housing building.
After listening to the siblings' narration, Lin Hao couldn't help sighing, happy people are all the same, but unfortunate people have their own misfortunes.
After a while, Lin Hao said: "Brother!"
Lin Di put down the straw of the milk tea and looked up at him, but he was very depressed. He didn't know what he thought, but he actually gave him such a name. Regardless of whether he was a man or a fellow, as long as his name was called, he would immediately become short.
One piece! Can't you learn from Uncle Yan's old fighting skills? Anyone who calls him out will suffer a loss.
However, Lin Hao didn't hesitate to ask again: "Do you mind if I call you this?"
Brother Lin immediately said: "Do you mind!"
Lin Hao said: "If you don't mind, I can only call you that!"
Brother Lin: "..."
Lin Hao continued: "First of all, what I want to say is that you are indeed a man and have not brought shame to our Lin family!"
Lin Di suddenly felt a feeling of sympathy for each other, recognizing heroes and valuing heroes. People can be poor, but they must not be spineless and bloodless. This is his philosophy of life!
But before he could finish being happy, Lin Hao had already slowly shook his head, "Then what I want to say is that you really don't overestimate your abilities, and you are also very stupid and naive!"
Lin Di said angrily: "What did you say?"
Lin Hao continued to say rudely: "You are not ruthless enough, have no brains, and don't have any brothers. You just want to fight against a gang. Are you tired of living and want to die? If you really want to die, then go and do it yourself.
If you die, can you please not bring your family with you?"
Lin Di stared at him and breathed out from his nostrils, obviously very angry.
Lin Hao's tone was calm, but his words were very sharp: "Do you think I was wrong? If it weren't for your self-righteousness, would your family be like this? You would be pressed to the ground like a dog and abused, your sister
Will I be almost ruined?"
Lin Di's face turned blue and white, and finally he said solemnly: "Lin Hao, I admit that you did save us once, but if you think that you can cynicize and point fingers at me, you are wrong.
So wrong!"
Lin Hao said: "I'm not sarcastic, I'm just discussing the matter. And you really don't know what it means!"
Seeing the two people suddenly quarreling while they were talking, Lin Peiru was very anxious and said hurriedly: "Don't quarrel, don't quarrel, talk to me if you have something to say!"
Lin Di stood up and said: "Sister, let's go!"
Lin Hao sneered: "Are you leaving like this?"
Brother Lin said: "I will repay you if I have the opportunity in the future."
Lin Hao asked expressionlessly: "What if you have no chance?"
Lin Di was angry and stared at him with some confusion: "What do you mean?"
Lin Hao pointed out the window: "See for yourself!"
