Qi Meng returned to the courtyard.
There is a saying in old Beijing that "the east city is expensive, the west city is rich." A large area of Nancheng is where poor people live. Those who performed sideshows and cross talk, and those who drove patrol cars and did small business all gathered in Nancheng.
The compound where Xiangzi is located is also in Nancheng.
In a large courtyard, it’s hard to be familiar with each household. If there is a noise in your house under the same roof, you can’t hide it from the neighbors next to you, because the roofs are all connected.
At dawn, Qi Meng walked into the courtyard gate. Er Qiangzi came out and bumped into Qi Meng head-on.
"Xiangzi. Where did you get rich last night?"
Qi Meng looked up and down at the man in front of him. He was in his forties, wearing a brand-new cotton-padded jacket, and even the cloth shoes he wore were brand-new. He had a toothpick in his mouth and smelled of alcohol.
"Chongwenmen, and the Chehang brothers are catching the rebels."
Qi Mengyan said concisely and concisely that he did not want to deal with Er Qiangzi, nor did he want to have any contact with this drunkard.
Fortunately, Er Qiangzi didn't hear the words clearly. He patted Xiangzi on the shoulder and said in a low voice, "Xiangzi, pull the cart well, you can do it!"
You don't need to look to know that Er Qiangzi went to the tavern again.
And the seven weaklings are suspected to be one of the biggest stumbling blocks in the way. Except for me, the weaklings are the real danger in that world.
When I came here, I never got drunk, and I could find even a dime in the house, so I simply took the car and sold it for about 40 yuan, and continued drinking.
Relying on the host memory obtained from the young housekeeper, Qi Meng began to sort out the past of Er Qiangzi.
With that said, he walked out drunkenly.
Er Qiangzi was originally a rickshaw driver, raising two sons and a daughter. With his strong body, he could earn 80 cents a day pulling a rickshaw. He supported a family of five by himself. He used to be able to make do with his life. In the past few years, he drove a rickshaw on a monthly basis. At night, I gathered with a few friends at a stall to drink. I just drank to keep out the cold while I was studying. After a long night, I just drank at night. Then the drinking gradually stopped during the day. It was already 40 pm when I had no time to get out of the car. Because I drank too little, I only saved money, and my health gradually became better. I ran long distances and short distances, and I started to make a living by pulling carts.
There are many ways to get rid of the Seven Weak Sons. After some careful consideration, Qiangzi decided to arrest them directly; throw the Seven Weak Sons back out of the river, and fake the appearance of falling into the water. He sold Mauser for forty-eight yuan and trained Dafuzi's younger brother as a thug. "Conscientious" relies on the spirit of "steadiness and hard work" to swallow up Huniu's father's car factory. Save money to buy a few seven-sided houses outside the city, and wait a few decades to become a billionaire. The Seven Weak Man is now seventy years old and plans to pull a cart again. So I bought a pair of baskets and a grocery pick, including melons, fruits, pears, peanuts and cigarettes. The goods were very complete. After two months of business, I made a rough calculation, but I still lost money, and the money I paid was very small. I'm used to pulling cars, so I know how to handle business...
On the seventh day, I sold my son Dafuzi—fourteen years old—to a soldier.
After the money was spent, Qi Wenzi's eyes turned from outside the house to the house, and then from the house back to the outside. The first thing he focused on was his man, Dafuzi.
Got seven hundred dollars. Before the man left, the seven weaklings felt quite rich for a while. They redeemed all the things they had pawned and made some new clothes. The whole family was dressed neatly.
Qiangzi knew that Dafuzi didn't have much beauty, and more importantly, Dafuzi didn't have two biological brothers. He regarded the two older children as his breadwinners and his closest confidants. Based on Qiangzi's understanding of this family, as long as he gave these two children a few pieces of cake, they would starve to death. In the past, those children had followed Qiangzi into the inner world.
