Rebirth of the Legend of the Red Age

Chapter 24, Lai San's Life Story

Hearing this, Lai San immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to beg for mercy: "Two good men, please spare my life. Oh no! Don't hit me. I have an 80-year-old mother to support and a one-year-old baby to raise. If you hit me, I won't be able to go out to earn money, and they will starve to death. Please be kind."

His performance made Wang Li even more speechless. Wang Li's father was also stunned and shocked by his shamelessness. He did not log off.

The mother is 80 years old and the baby is one year old. The three generations of the family have a difference of 80 years. Can anyone believe this? If he had the ability, he would have used it to steal things.

Fortunately, Wang Li stopped Lai San's behavior in time and shouted: Don't talk about these useless things, tell me the truth, and if I am in a good mood, I will let you go.

In fact, Wang Li didn't want to do anything to him, because Wang Li could see that his black clothes were just made of some black rags, which showed that his family was quite poor.

After hearing what Wang Li said, Lai San fell silent. After a long while, he replied in a low voice: "Young man."

Wang Li said: Speak human language.

Lai San immediately changed his words: This little brother and this big brother, oh no, uncle. The younger one is called Lai San, he is 18 years old this year, I do have a younger sister, she is indeed one year old. She is the child born to my father's second marriage.

When I was very young, the little book attacked the Dragon Kingdom and my biological mother was killed by them. At that time, our family was still well off, and in the end only my father and I escaped. Then we came to Kyoto to make a living, and soon my father met my stepmother.

Last year, before the conquest of Kyoto, she gave birth to a younger sister. Unfortunately, when my father took my stepmother to visit her parents, they encountered bandits from the White Party. As a result, they were all robbed and killed. People from the surrounding villages secretly told me this.

There was no other way, so I had to raise my sister by myself.

But because my father and stepmother doted on me, I was not a good student and did not learn any skills. After they passed away, I had no ability to survive and could not make money. Kyoto had just been recovered and there were no good jobs, so I continued to hang out on the streets with a few friends.

But my sister is too young. I can endure hardship, but it would be fatal for her.

So I have been studying these days and trying to make a lot of money to improve my life. I swear that what I said this time is true and there is no lie.

Wang Li listened to his explanation while looking into his eyes. He saw the love for his sister and the pain of losing his family in his eyes, but there was no cunning in them, so he believed it 80%.

If it is true as he confessed, it proves that he is not a bad person in nature. Although Lai San is young, he has rich social experience and strong ability. It can be seen from the theft in his own home that he is very cautious and knows how to use his brain.

And he didn't have many people to use, as the old saying goes: one hero needs three helpers. He should also have a few people he could use, just like Mr. Kong, who he had already targeted.

Wang Li said: Okay, I will go to your house with you and take a look. If it is really the same as what you said, I will spare you. If it is different, you will be ruined.

So, after asking for his father's consent, Wang Li took Lai San to his home alone. In order to avoid trouble, they avoided the patrols of the Military Control Commission. After all, peace had just been achieved and there were still some lawless elements who wanted to disrupt peace. So there were many patrols at night. Fortunately, Wang Li was skilled and brave, so he was not seen by them.

Therefore, Wang Li was more optimistic about Lai San. He was a capable person who could steal things from his home without being caught by the Military Control Commission in the middle of the night.

Not long after, Wang Li came to Lai San's home.

Lai San's house is in the east wing of a courtyard house. The room is pretty good, with a total area of ​​60 square meters. It seems that the conditions were pretty good in the past.

After entering the house, he saw a little girl surrounded by a small fence. She was probably only one year old and very cute and pretty.

After all, Lai San said that his father was also a rich man. His family's genes can't be too bad. Rich people don't look for ugly wives. Genes are passed down from generation to generation, so they shouldn't be ugly.

Afterwards, Lai San took out some photos to prove that what he said was true. At this point, Wang Li basically believed that what he said was true, so he did not embarrass Lai San.

Instead, he replied: Okay, I believe you. You are not young anymore, so you should stop hanging out on the streets. After you have arranged things for your sister tomorrow, come to my house and I will arrange a job for you. Is that okay with you?

Lai San was extremely surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect to meet a noble person today. Bad things turned into good things. This should be the blessing of his parents. He was also very grateful to Wang Li.

So Lai San agreed immediately and promised to report to his house as soon as the recycling station opened tomorrow morning.

Wang Li was very satisfied. He left him 10 yuan for emergency use and then went home.
