As soon as Lin Qiu finished speaking, three beggars, whose clothes were in tatters and could barely cover their important parts, walked out shakily.
Lin Qiu frowned and said, "Why did you take the money and run away?"
Of course it's because of poverty, but he hopes to give these children some correct values.
Maybe it was because Lin Qiu's voice was a little too strong that it frightened a beggar to kneel down and kowtow.
"Boss, we are blind, please let us go. We are just too hungry, so we stole your money."
Several other beggars also took advantage of the situation and knelt down, kowtowing loudly.
Monkey felt a little sorry, so he whispered into Lin Qiu's ear: "Lin Qiu, you scared them."
Lin Qiu didn't expect them to kneel down directly. He cleared his throat and said, "Everyone, get up. I have no intention of pursuing your thoughts."
"That money is just a day's pay for me."
Lin Qiu deliberately exaggerated, but his body deviated from the direction where the beggars were kneeling.
The beggars looked at each other several times and felt that Lin Qiu was easier to talk to, so they slowly stood up.
"Wow, I didn't expect you to be so rich." A beggar immediately flattered him. He had learned a lot from wandering around and observed people's emotions, and now he was also a good at talking about people and ghosts.
Lin Qiu nodded. It felt good to be admired by others.
"If you follow me, you will have so much money every day."
After saying that, he planned to pat the beggar who just spoke on the shoulder.
But as soon as he raised his hand, the beggar immediately covered his head. This habitual action made Lin Qiu and Monkey tremble a little in their hearts.
These beggars are still children, but they are always bullied by people in the yard and on the street. It is really pitiful.
The older beggar saw that the atmosphere was not right and immediately smoothed things over: "Dog boy, big brother wants to pat you. What are you hiding from? I don't want to give big brother face."
After saying that, he slapped the dog boy on the head, but everyone felt that the slap was not serious.
"Brother, he is just timid. We are all willing to follow you and serve you." The older beggar said fawningly.
The dog boy also bowed with a smile.
They all knew that they could not lose Lin Qiu's help, and if they missed this opportunity, they would freeze to death this winter.
The monkey also helped: "Leave them alone, I feel so pitiful."
Although they were not rich either, the immature faces of these beggars were full of mature and sophisticated ways to please them, which made him feel very distressed.
"I didn't say anything, so you said all the good things." Lin Qiu slapped Monkey on the shoulder.
"What are your names?" Lin Qiu looked at the beggars.
The older beggar was more courageous and took the lead in replying: "My name is Leprous, his name is Dumpling, and that one's called Dog Boy."
Monkey complains, what are the names? Although he is called Monkey, it is just a nickname. His real name is really nice.
Seeing the monkey's confusion, Leprous explained: "My whole family died because of leprosy, so everyone called me that, and I took this as my name."
"Dumplings is the name he gave himself. He likes to eat dumplings the most."
"The dog boy turned out to have a dog, and everyone jokingly called him the dog boy."
The monkey looked around and saw no sign of the dog: "Where is the dog?"
"He died last winter." The dog boy's voice seemed to have returned to the time when the dog died, saturated with sadness.
Lin Qiu tugged at the monkey and signaled him to stop talking.
These beggars each have their own sufferings, and they should not expose others' wounds.
"A name is just a title. My name is Lin Qiu."
"My name is Monkey." Monkey introduced himself.
"Come and work for me today. The money I will give you will definitely be more than this." Lin Qiu pointed at the money they had hidden in their chests.
"Okay." Several beggars said in unison.
Several children looked around and were very careful on the road. Lin Qiu felt that these children were quite smart and were always memorizing the route. If a trafficker came, they could run back.
He likes to deal with smart people, at least he can understand people.
Lin Qiu took several children to the wasteland where the engine was abandoned.
"Monkey, teach them." Lin Qiu needed to clear his mind.
There were not many scrap engines left in this village, and they dismantled them all in a few days.
The beggars learned very quickly and got started immediately. They were a little slick at the beginning, but they became much faster later on.
The monkey originally had a few pieces of work clothes because he was afraid that the gasoline on the engine would stain his clothes, but these beggars didn't need them. Their clothes were already very dirty, so they didn't give them to them.
It took several of them a few hours to get it all done.
The sky has also become gray. If she doesn't go home, Chen Qingxiu should be worried.
Just in time, the boss of the last acquisition came over to say hello to Lin Qiu.
"Boss Liu, long time no see. These are our goods. You can come and inspect them." Lin Qiu pointed at the things put away.
"I didn't expect your kid to be so capable." Boss Liu nodded with satisfaction. This kid has a good business acumen and has already started hiring people to help.
Boss Liu looked at the several waiters at this time and found that they were all in tatters. He thought Lin Qiu was suppressing and threatening others, so he looked a little unhappy.
"Son, you have to have a long-term perspective when doing business. Helpers are partners. If you don't treat others as human beings, you will only make yourself go downhill."
Lin Qiu knew that Boss Liu had misunderstood: "These children usually wander in the alleys. Thinking that I still lack a few manpower, I asked them to come and work."
Leprous also echoed: "We are here to help big brother, we haven't had time to change clothes yet."
Lin Qiu maintained their dignity. No one had spoken about them like this for a long time. In the past, they had always used bad words.
Boss Liu nodded. It turned out to be some work for the beggars. These children had to beg for their lives if they didn't go to school. It was good to have some work.
"This is four thousand two, congratulations to Boss Lin." Boss Liu smiled and took out the money, joking with Lin Qiu.
Lin Qiu took it politely. Boss Liu was kind-hearted and did not lower the price. He respected Boss Liu very much.
The monkey happily said to the dog boy: "We are rich."
Boss Liu picked up the goods and left.
Lin Qiu took out three hundred and gave each of the three beggars one hundred.
"Your salary will be spent on working hard in the future."
After the three children got the money, their eyes gleamed with joy. Le Fang was so excited that he kept kissing the money.
"Look at your potential. If you work with Boss Lin Qiu in the future, you will have plenty of money." Monkey pretended to be mature and said, but the look in his eyes when he saw money in the past two days was no better than leprous.
Lin Qiu looked at the clothes of the three children and took out another hundred: "Go and change your clothes, take a shower, and look different next time you come here."
Leprosy didn’t pick up this time.
"Brother, you just said that since we are part-time workers, we will only collect the money we earn, and we will not need any more."
Le Fang is the oldest among the three, but he is only 13 years old. The factory does not want them. Lin Qiu gives them wages, which seems to bring back the self-esteem that Le Fang has long lost.
Lin Qiu didn't expect Leper to be a man with backbone. Although the three beggars looked at the money without moving, no one reached out to take it.
The monkey pretended to be angry and put the money into Leper's hand: "Take it, it's not much."
After saying that, he picked up Lin Qiu and ran away. He was most afraid of this kind of situation.
Leper held the money in his hand and summoned up the courage to shout to Lin Qiu: "Brother, I will hang out with you from now on."
Lin Qiu turned back with a smile: "You three, please follow me from now on!"
