Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 752 An educated little girl

They were talking and saw me coming out of the house, followed by a ferocious fat woman with a bag of things in her hand, and said something excitedly after me, the tall and thin man, I don’t know who he was referring to , roaring loudly.

Lan Mao's stepmother asked me to take the bag of money no matter what, it seemed that if she didn't take it, she would not give her face.

As for Lanmao's father, he has been persuading me to accept it.

That's how it got pulled.

After such a pull, the bag broke, and all the money in the bag fell to the ground. Lan Mao's father found a newspaper, wrapped all the money, stuffed it in my arms, and pulled his wife into the house.

I had no choice but to hold the money and get in the car.

When I got into the car, Zhang Xiaoyu looked at me adoringly and asked, "They don't agree with the demolition, so they will send you money?"

I groaned, but didn't realize what he was saying.

A Liao said with a smile: "How dare they disagree! Our Da Fei brother came to the door in person, not only had to pay the money, but also had to demolish it immediately! Isn't it right, Da Fei brother?"

I was stunned for a moment, I didn't understand what A Liao was talking about, but I must have followed his words, so I smiled and said: "They are also excited for a while, I really don't want this money, I'm afraid of trouble!"

A Liao hurriedly took over and said, "What's the trouble? Who dares to investigate you? They gave it willingly! You said that you were such a powerful figure back then, why are you so timid now?"

Zhang Xiaoyu hastily defended me and said: "Are you timid? You dare to go to the house of the demolition household to negotiate alone. How often does the demolition office not dispatch a car?"

I mumbled and said, "Stop talking about this, take me to see your sister!"

Zhang Xiaoyu hummed, pointed to the road, and brought us to a housing estate that was about to be demolished.

Since 2010, real estate has become the most profitable industry, especially from 2015 to 2017, if you have a piece of land, you can become a multi-millionaire.It's true that pigs can fly when they stand on the wind.

As long as you have land, you can go to the bank for a loan, and the rest will be handed over to the contractor.The off-plan properties have already been sold before the building has even started. Apart from speculating in stocks, all the people are speculating in properties.

Therefore, you can see that in first-tier, second-tier, and even third-tier cities, there are countless open spaces and countless old buildings demolished everywhere.

The housing estates were part of the renovation of the old city, and all the residents living in the villages in the city became serfs and took over their homes.

This housing estate was demolished in half, and the remaining half was either because the developer ran out of money, or the relocated households here refused to move. Although it was a mess, it attracted a group of people from the bottom of the city. Most of them are unlicensed vendors, cleaners, migrant workers, and of course there are some lawless people mixed in, because the rent here is cheap and there is no need to verify their identity.

Zhang Xiaoyu told me to park the car far away, and told us to park the car inside, so we probably wouldn't be able to get out.

The two of us followed Zhang Xiaoyu into the dilapidated alley, half of the wall was left in many places, and there were many suspicious people standing in the alley, all staring at us with greedy eyes .

From time to time, there will be a few charming lady proprietress Xu, who seem to be not too young, staring at you as if looking at RMB, making you hairy, but they don't open their mouths to solicit business.

It was hard to get there, a garbage collection station.Zhang Xiaoyu didn't go through the big iron gate of the garbage station, but detoured through the back door, a narrow aisle, with old paper shells and scrap iron piled up on both sides.

Zhang Xiaoyu went in first, and A Liao and I walked behind. After dozens of steps, the inside opened up a lot. In a small yard, an old man was squatting on the ground to bundle newspapers. Seeing Zhang Xiaoyu coming in, he just said lightly: "Your sister, you took 2 catties of rice with me, plus the previous room fee and water fee, you must give it to me today, otherwise, get out tonight!"

Zhang Xiaoyu lowered his head and said with a smile: "I will give it today, don't worry, haven't you been out to make money these two days? I will send it to you in the evening!"

When you're done, go inside.

When we passed by the old man, the old man muttered: "You are young, if you don't study well, it's fine if you don't study well. If you hang around in the street every day and tell him to pick up trash, he still feels ashamed. Let's just starve to death. Bring down my sister!"

Walking into the house, the inside smelled of firewood, and the smoke was so hazy that it was almost impossible to see the inside.

I coughed, and then I saw Zhang Xiaoyu and a thin, dark-faced little girl standing next to a bed made of insulation boards. Zhang Xiaoyu blamed: "Why did you make a fire by yourself again? It’s a waste newspaper, what should I do if I accidentally light it on fire? Besides, there are no windows here, so what if you fall asleep and are choked to death by the smoke?”

I thought the little girl would cry because of grievances, but who knew that the little girl glared at Zhang Xiaoyu first, then said angrily in a sharp voice: "You have the nerve to say, it's been a few days, you haven't come back for a few days, I don't want If I cook by myself, I will starve to death! If you don’t come back, tell me when the time comes, if you die outside, I can collect the body for you!”

A Liao and I were dumbfounded, this is what a 7-year-old girl is saying, this is clearly my wife scolding my husband who is not up to date!
Zhang Xiaoyu first touched his head in embarrassment and said: "Isn't this going outside to make money? If you don't make money, the two of us will have to sleep on the street!" Then, looking at A Liao and me, he straightened his face again Said: "Why are you talking to your brother and me! Didn't you just come back for a few days?"

The little girl didn't give Zhang Xiaoyu face, snorted and said: "You still know that you are my brother, I'm only 7 years old, don't you worry, I was abducted by someone? That old bachelor goes to our house every day, Ask me if I have eaten for a while, and if I have enough quilts for a while? You didn’t even look at him, look at my eyes, if I was a few years older, he would not take me home and be his wife!"

Zhang Xiaoyu cut out and said: "People care about you. Don't keep saying that Old Man Wang is a bachelor. He has a wife and children, but he is not here. He is in his hometown. Look at you now. Who can tell you?" Seeing you?"

The little girl subconsciously wiped her little black face, and said weakly: "What can I do? I can't lift the water, and when I go out, no one is watching at home, what should I do?"

I interrupted the quarrel between the two siblings and said, "Can we turn on the light first?"

Zhang Xiaoyu said weakly: "There is no electricity here!"

I groaned and said, "Then let's talk outside, it's too choking here!"

The little girl looked at me, and asked her brother vigilantly, "Did you recruit people from the orphanage? Do we really have to go to the orphanage?"

Zhang Xiaoyu hurriedly said: "No, no, this is my nobleman, let's go, go out first, he promised to treat us to dinner! Brother will bring you a good meal!"

The little girl asked happily: "Really? Then I want fish-flavored eggplant, and boiled fish...and Coke!"

Zhang Xiaoyu nodded his head and said, "Okay, everything is fine! Clean it up!"

The little girl hurriedly found a black rag from nowhere, wiped it on her face carelessly, and ran outside.

After leaving the house and in the yard, the old man had disappeared, where did he go?
Both Zhang Xiaoyu and his sister breathed a sigh of relief, for fear that the old man would demand rent from them.

When I got to the front of the car, I asked, "What do you want to eat? Tell me!"

The little girl didn't hear what I said at all. She gently stroked the car and sighed: "What a beautiful car, I always heard people say it's stupid, stupid, now I know it's this one! I can go in and have a ride." ?"

A Liao seemed to like the little girl very much. He nodded and said, "Of course! We will take this car in a while and go to eat, eat what you like!"

After finishing speaking, he opened the co-pilot's door himself and told the little girl to sit in.

Zhang Xiaoyu was not that nervous, he opened the back door and sat in.

I smiled and sat in.

When the little girl got into the car, she was curious about everything, but she didn't dare to touch anything. She sat on half of her buttocks, for fear of getting the seat dirty.

A Liao comforted: "You just sit down, it's okay, the uncle behind you is very talkative, you put on your seat belt first! In this way, like me, by the way, really smart!"

Zhang Xiaoyu asked curiously: "How much does this car cost?"

I didn't answer his question. I don't think he is as ignorant as his sister. After all, he is also a college student.In fact, when I think about it later, it’s not surprising. Like our parents, they have never sat in a Mercedes-Benz in their entire lives. It’s not that they don’t want to sit in a Mercedes-Benz. How many more?
A Liao also replied flatly: "It's not much money. The current Mercedes-Benz is not as expensive as you imagined. They are all joint venture cars. It's just that our car has a higher configuration. As long as you work hard, you can buy it soon! "

The little girl snorted and said, "Count on him! He doesn't make progress at all! He doesn't learn and knows nothing!"

I'm a little strange, why does the little girl look down on her brother so much?His brother worked so hard to raise her, and suffered so much for him, why doesn't the little girl appreciate it at all?

What's even more strange is that Zhang Xiaoyu didn't refute at all, and just let his sister say so about himself.

We chose a less luxurious restaurant, which is a food stall, because I think this is where they can feel more comfortable.

A Liao brought the menu to the little girl and asked her to order by herself.

I was still a little worried about her illiteracy, so I told her: "Just look at the dots in the photo, if you don't know what it is, just tell this uncle!"

The little girl said confidently: "Although I didn't go to school, I can read and write. My brother taught me to read and write since I was a child!"

I smiled and said: "That's good, order casually, you can't eat uncle's food!"

The little girl was a little embarrassed and said: "Then I will be polite!" Although she was not polite, after seeing the prices, she still only ordered two dishes, and looked at me and A Liao uneasily, for fear of seeing the price. We frown!
A Liao said kindly: "Don't worry, uncle can reimburse you, it's not your own money, don't worry!"

The little girl seemed to have made up her mind, but she still only ordered one vegetable.

At this moment, I also had an infinite affection for this little girl.

I took the menu, showed it to Zhang Xiaoyu and said, "You know what your sister likes to eat, order it! Forget that I bumped into you, I owe you!"

As soon as I finished speaking, the little girl snorted loudly and said, "Brother! You are doing that shameless thing again! I will ignore you!" After speaking, there were still tears in her eyes.

Zhang Xiaoyu frantically denied: "I don't have it! I really don't!"

I tried to smooth things over and said, "It's really not your brother's fault this time, it was our car that really hit your brother, and your brother really doesn't care about us, that's why I want to treat you to a meal!"

The little girl raised her head suspiciously, looked at me, then at A Liao, A Liao nodded, indicating that what I said was true.

The little girl just smiled and said, "That's okay!"

When the food came, the little girl stood up, walked to the washing place by herself, washed her hands first, and told Zhang Xiaoyu to wash her hands too, then sat down quietly without moving her chopsticks.

I still don't understand what's going on, why she stared at the dishes on the table, swallowed, but refused to eat.

However, A Liao patted the little girl's head appreciatively, and said, "Let's do it!" After speaking, he picked up a piece of food with his chopsticks first.

The little girl moved.

When eating, I found that the little girl and Zhang Xiaoyu are very polite, they only eat the food in front of them, and they can eat whatever they pick up, and they always use the chopsticks. When they see someone picking up food, they will quickly take back the chopsticks , too educated.You would never imagine that this is a pair of little brothers and sisters who can't eat enough for a few days.

I am impressed with them again.

During the meal, I asked the little girl: "You are 7 years old, it's time to go to school, do you want to go to school?"

The little girl looked at me with clear eyes and said: "I want to, but I don't dare to think about it! We have no parents and no fixed place to live. The school won't want me. Besides, if I really go to school, people will know I only have one brother like that, and they will send me to an orphanage."

Zhang Xiaoyu added: "When I have a regular job, I will let my sister go to school!"

The little girl snorted again and said, "You already have a regular job, but you don't cherish it yourself! Tell yourself why you were expelled from school!"

I looked at Zhang Xiaoyu in surprise, and asked seriously: "Is there something else you didn't tell me the truth? If you lie again, I really won't help you!"

Zhang Xiaoyu said hesitantly: "I was caught for gambling!"

The little girl added: "Didn't you gamble once or twice! How many times have I advised you, do you listen? We have already saved enough money to rent a house for a year, but you are so good at gambling that we paid all our rent. The bet is gone, and your school is also bet, it's all your fault that we're just like this!"

Zhang Xiaoyu murmured: "I also want you to live a better life. If I win, we might be able to buy a house! Let's change a car into a motorcycle!"
