Chapter 308 Meeting Ah Hui for the First Time
The girl smiled and said, "My name is Ah Hui, nice to meet you."

Yi Weidong said: "My name is Yi Wei, and it's very nice to meet you."

Ah Hui frowned and said, "You are so stingy. I had to need money to steal your money. Besides, I didn't steal it!"

"What do you want me to do?"

"Do you have a place to live? I can find you a place to live."

Ah Hui said cautiously, seeing that Yi Weidong wanted to walk away again, she quickly said:
"I don't mean anything else. I know you just came to Hong Kong Island and you probably have no place to stay. I can rent the house to you."

"How did you know?"

Ah Hui smiled and said, "You don't have an accent. The most important thing is that the gold you just exchanged today must be a new smuggler."

Yi Weidong said: "I'm not interested in living in a den of thieves, goodbye."

Yi Weidong turned around and left. After walking a few steps, he heard Ah Hui crying behind him. Yi Weidong is not a hard-hearted person, and he would never see a girl cry in front of him, um, even behind him.

Yi Weidong sighed, turned back and squatted beside Ah Hui, handed a handkerchief, and said, "As for crying so sad?"

Ah Hui took the flowered handkerchief and wiped away her tears, and said, "It's shameful for a big man to use such a flowery handkerchief."

Yi Weidong was so choked that he couldn't speak. This flower handkerchief was prepared for Xiao Dang and Xie Di. There was a lot of space. He thought that Ah Hui in front of him was a girl, so he gave this flower handkerchief to her. I also gave it wrong.

Yi Weidong said: "Little brother Ah Hui, if you talk like this again, I don't have time to listen to your nonsense. I still have to find a house to live in!"

When Ah Hui heard that Yi Weidong was looking for a house to live in, she shed her tears and said with a smile, "I have a vacant house that I can rent to you."

"How is the house? Where is it? Are there many gangsters around?"

Ah Hui said in surprise: "What are you thinking? Where are there no gangsters on Hong Kong Island?"

Then he said: "My home is in North Point, and I have to take another bus to get there."

Yi Weidong said first: "I can go there with you, if I don't like the house, I won't rent it."

"Okay, you will definitely take a fancy to it, it's really long-winded, yes with a bitch."

Yi Weidong said angrily: "You are the one who looks like a woman, your whole family is all women."

"You really don't suffer at all."

Ah Hui led Yi Weidong to bicker, then walked to the bus platform again, took the bus to North Point and got off.

Taking Yi Weidong across the street to a street, Ah Hui smiled and said, "We have a shop in our house, but unfortunately we haven't rented it out yet. There are two rooms on the second floor. My cousin and I live together. room, there is another one that is vacant, see if you would like to rent it."

While speaking, she brought Yi Weidong to a shop, and Ah Hui opened the back door to invite Yi Weidong to come in.

Yi Weidong hesitated and asked, "You won't ask a few people to beat me up, will you?"

Ah Hui rolled her eyes, made a vicious expression, and said threateningly: "Put you in a sack and throw you into the sea to feed the sharks."

Yi Weidong scanned with his mental power, and walked in after confirming that there was no danger. Ah Hui locked the door again. Yi Weidong looked at the two shops and asked, "Since you have a shop, why didn't you rent it out?"

Ah Hui said: "Now that the economy is in a downturn, the previous tenant has gone bankrupt and there is no one to rent."

When the two of them left the house from the back, there was a stairwell, and there was a door at the back. A Hui said, "From now on, you will go through the back door, and there are alleys not far from both sides to the street in front. .”

"Don't worry, I won't lose it."

Ah Hui smiled and led Yi Weidong up to the second floor. Ah Hui opened the door of the room on the left and came in and said, "This room is for rent. You can see if you are satisfied."

The room is not big, but fortunately, the north and south are fully furnished. After checking it, Yi Weidong said, "The house is okay."

Ah Hui smiled and said: "Since you are willing to rent a house, let me tell you first, when you meet my cousin in the future, you can't talk about what happened today."

"What happened today?" Yi Weidong asked puzzled.

Ah Hui said coyly: "It's about the matter on the bus today. I really waited for the money, otherwise I wouldn't have made such a bad move and grabbed your wallet."

Yi Weidong put the small bag on his back on the coffee table, sat down and said with a smile, "What's going on on the bus? Why don't I know?"

Ah Hui stared and said: "You are so stupid, it's me"

It was only halfway through that he realized that Yi Weidong meant that he had forgotten about it, so his face blushed and he said, "I'll bring you a cup of tea."

After a few minutes, Ah Hui brought a cup of hot tea and put it in front of Yi Weidong, saying:
"There are gas tanks in the kitchen. You can cook for yourself. Later, I will take you around to get acquainted. Then you can find a job in the surrounding factories."

Yi Weidong said: "Let's talk about it in two days. There is no rush to find a job. Let's talk about the rent."

Ah Hui said embarrassedly: "I have a small request, can you pay a deposit of 500 yuan first?"

Yi Weidong frowned a little, the deposit is a bit too much, he is rich, but the rent of 500 yuan is a bit too much.

Asked: "Isn't renting a house a mortgage for three?"

Ah Hui said: "Listen to my explanation. I need 500 yuan urgently now. If I don't pay my house tomorrow, the underworld will take it away. I really have no choice. Otherwise, I wouldn't do such a thing today." .”

Ah Hui then explained that the previous tenant of this shop went bankrupt and had no money to pay the arrears of the protection fee. Ah Hui and her cousin raised the money and it was not enough, only 500 yuan was left. Tomorrow is the deadline for payment. Ah Hui Hui really had no choice but to take the risk when he saw Yi Weidong exchanged a large sum of cash.

Yi Weidong also felt that Ah Hui's technique was a bit unprofessional, and asked, "Is this really your first time?"

Ah Hui's eyes widened and she said, "It's really the first time for me. If it wasn't really helpless, I wouldn't be able to do it either."

Yi Weidong asked again: "Then why don't you sell the shop?"

"You're new here. I don't know. Now that Hong Kong Island's economy is in a downturn, the shop can't be sold."

After Ah Hui explained it, Yi Weidong knew that last year there were rumors that an army would come to liberate the whole island. The rich people on Hong Kong Island sold their properties and fled overseas. The economy of Hong Kong Island plummeted, and the May Incident broke out. Everyone People are panicking. Ah Hui's father also died in May last year. Fortunately, there is rent income from the tenants, which can barely meet the schooling needs of Ah Hui and her cousin. However, since the tenant went bankrupt, the shop cannot be rented out. The lives of the two were in trouble.

Yi Weidong couldn't bear it, and said, "Well, I can give you 500 yuan in rent first, but I have a small request."

Ah Hui retreated a little, and asked suspiciously, "What do you want?"

Yi Weidong looked at Ah Hui's actions, and restrained himself from getting angry. Did he treat himself as a hooligan?
Said: "I have a relative who came here two years ago, and now I have lost contact. Can you help me find someone in the newspaper?"

Ah Hui secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "It's very easy to register in the newspaper. You can do it if you have money. Many newspapers have a special page for the notice of missing persons. This is no problem. The problem is that the person you are looking for happens to be able to read it." Seeing your missing person notice, it’s hard to say.”

Yi Weidong said: "I understand, you just need to help me get into the newspaper."

This is a matter of probability. Who knows where Uncle Lou's family is now, whether they read newspapers, and happened to see Yi Weidong's missing person notice. If you can't find Yi Weidong this time, you can earn some money and buy something to go home Pay the uncle or not.

The two quickly signed a rental agreement. Yi Weidong gave 500 yuan in rent, and Yi Weidong wrote a missing person notice and handed 100 yuan to A Hui, saying:

"Take some more time and leave the address of this house."

Ah Hui smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll pay the police tomorrow and I'll do this for you, and I'll be able to see your missing person notice at the newsstand on the street the day after tomorrow."

Yi Weidong shouted: "Wait, are you saying that giving money to the police is not a gangster?"

Ah Hui slapped her head and said, "I said you are new here. The police on Hong Kong Island collect protection fees once a week, which is more than the gangsters."

Yi Weidong just remembered that there is a series of movies in Hong Kong Island about the struggle history of the [-] million detective Lei Luo. The police in Hong Kong Island are worse than the underworld. bribed.

There are also many film and television dramas that talk about police corruption. It was not until the establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption that the cancer in the police force was cleaned up.

Yi Weidong smiled and said, "Ah Hui, can you teach me Cantonese when you have time?"

Ah Hui smiled and said, "Of course you can, but you need to pay more."

Yi Weidong said: "There is no problem, as long as the problem can be solved with money, it is not a problem."

"Bragging." Ah Hui left the room after finishing speaking.

Yi Weidong closed the room and cleaned the room first. Now that he has a place to stay, he just needs to find a way to make some money and wait for Uncle Lou to see his news.

After a while, Ah Hui knocked on the door and said, "Viagra, I'll take you to buy some daily necessities."

Yi Weidong; opened the door and said, "Don't call me Viagra, it's too ugly."

"Viagra? Is it hard to hear?" Ah Hui looked at Yi Weidong with a cold face and said:

"Forget it, if you don't want to call me Viagra, then I'll call you Awei, and I'll take you to the supermarket."

The two went to a supermarket, and Yi Weidong picked out some necessities such as a four-piece blanket set. The two carried a lot of things, and bought some fruits when they passed by the fruit stand.

Back at the residence on the second floor, Yi Weidong gave half of the fruit to Ah Hui, and asked, "I still need to buy some clothes. Take me to the clothing store tomorrow."

Ah Hui said with a smile: "There's no need for tomorrow, I'll take you to the night market to treat you to dinner, and buy clothes at the street stall, the quality is much cheaper."

"Alright, let me ask you, it helped me a lot."

After finishing speaking, Yi Weidong asked: "Is the law and order good at night? Is it okay to go out?"

"It's okay, as long as you don't get drunk and don't cause trouble. Besides, I run very fast. You must not be able to outrun me."

Yi Weidong smiled and said, "I fell behind you, so you ran away because I couldn't run away?"

Ah Hui smiled and said, "It's really smart."

Regardless of Yi Weidong's ugly face, he said with a haha: "Let's go, I'll show you around, and I'll invite you to visit the night market by the way, thank you for helping me get through this difficult time."

Under the leadership of Ah Hui, Yi Weidong quickly became familiar with the surrounding environment and knew the locations of some shops. It was already dark at this time, and most of the people around were dressed as off-duty workers, scattered all over the streets.

After getting familiar with the environment, Ah Hui took Yi Weidong to the nearby night market. Ah Hui said in a low voice, "Actually, it's been very chaotic recently. I don't even dare to go to the night market myself."

Yi Weidong said speechlessly: "Then you still bring me here?"

Ah Hui said: "You are a boy, I am relieved to have you by my side."

Yi Weidong looked at Ah Hui's flat figure and smiled, "You can come by yourself, no one will treat you like a girl."

Ah Hui looked at Yi Weidong's gaze, hugged her shoulders and said angrily, "You are really rude."

Yi Weidong smiled and said, "Don't get me wrong, no one really treats you as a girl, including me."

Ah Hui stretched out her hand and slapped Yi Weidong, and said, "I even regret renting the house to you. You are really not a good person. You have to learn to be a gentleman in Hong Kong Island. How can you say such a thing in front of a girl?" .”

Yi Weidong continued: "It's still too late for you to repent!"

Ah Hui strode forward angrily.

The night market is a cross street, and now the street where it is located is full of snack stalls. Yi Weidong bought two cups of milk tea, and ran to Ah Hui with them, handed a cup over and said:
"I invite you."

"Thank you!"

Ah Hui took a sip and asked, "What do you want to eat?"

"Eat pasta."

Ah Hui took it to a stall and said: "The beef brisket noodles here are very authentic, how about eating this today?"

"Okay, I listen to you."

In the short ten minutes since Yi Weidong came over for dinner, he has already seen several disputes and fought three times. The people around him may be used to it. As long as it doesn't affect him, he will be as fine as everyone else. Yi Weidong Wei Dong asked, "Ah Hui, is this what you mean by good law and order?"

Ah Hui said: "Then what else do you want? No one is here to trouble you, and it has nothing to do with you that they beat them."

Yi Weidong looked at some policemen in shorts and uniforms not far away who were drinking wine and said:

"Don't those policemen care?"

Ah Hui glanced back and said, "Tell them, who cares about their own business after they're all off work?"

At this time, the boss brought the noodles, and said in unproficient Mandarin: "Daluzi, don't you know that the police are in charge during the day, and the gangs are in charge after nightfall? Remember that you can't cause trouble on Hong Kong Island, or you will live forever." not long."

Yi Weidong thought that some gangster movies were exaggerated, but he didn’t expect the conflicts in the night market to be more frequent and bloody than in the movies. Yi Weidong ate quickly, seeing Ah Hui eating slowly urged a few words.

Ah Hui gave Yi Weidong a supercilious look, and said after dinner, "You'll get used to it soon."

Taking Yi Weidong to the intersection, you can see that there are two directions selling clothing, and the last direction is some daily necessities, clocks, glasses, pots and pans, everything.

Strolling on the clothing street, Yi Weidong asked, "What are the conditions for setting up a stall here?"

Ah Hui smiled and said, "Just you? Stop dreaming, can you speak our Cantonese?"

That's right, Yi Weidong has not yet passed the language barrier, and he can't even communicate, so how can he set up a stall!Think about it and say: "Then can you start teaching me how to speak tomorrow?"

"It's feasible, but you have to pay for the teaching fee." Ah Hui said seriously.

"Don't worry, I have money."

Under A Hui's leadership, Yi Weidong picked out some shorts and T-shirts, a dozen socks and leather shoes and slippers, all packed in leather bags. After walking back to the daily necessities area, Yi Weidong looked at each booth and researched Find out what you can copy and sell.

At that time, Hong Kong Island already had television sets, most of which were 14-inch black and white sets. However, Yi Weidong did not have a large number of raw materials, so he could not produce a few sets.

There will be a lot of radios on the stalls, and Yi Weidong also bought one under Ah Hui's reminder. He already has a lot of things in his hand, so Yi Weidong got up and walked back.

Yi Weidong looked at the light boxes around him saying something about Sister Lou and Sister Feng, and asked curiously, "Ah Hui, what do these Sister Lou and Sister Feng mean? What business do they do?"
