Reborn 1980: The Peasant Girl of Vanves

Chapter 412 Landlord Becomes Beggar

Li Qiang's mother and son still have some money for selling tomatoes and cucumbers.

Not much, and it won't take long for the two of you to eat and chew.

Li Qiang took his old mother to find the construction site where he used to work, and wanted to find a job moving bricks.

He used to cook for the workers on the construction site, so he wanted his wife to find a job as well.

But when he arrived at the construction site, he was dumbfounded. Those who did the hard work were replaced by five big and three thick men.

Picking up a cement slab alone is like playing.

When working, the tendons on his body are round and bulging.

The contractor looked at Li Qiang's slender arms and legs, as if picking animals at a rural fair, "Look what you can do?

The last thing we need is people!

The people who come to us are all picking and picking, what do you want to do if you don't have the energy?
Do you think we need a father? "

"..." Seeing that one arm was almost as thick as his own, Li Qiang subconsciously put down his sleeves.

He smiled again and asked, "What about the cook? My mother cooks delicious food, and she can cook anything!"

"Your mother?" The contractor laughed loudly, patted Li Qiang on the shoulder, and called out to a temporary kitchen, "Xiao Hong, come here!"

There was a seductive woman with a slender waist, wearing an apron, her face was smeared as if she had been shaved, and her lips were painted as bright red as blood, and she walked over with a gesture.

Walking up to the contractor, lightly punched him on the shoulder, "Damn ghost, what's the name of the soul in broad daylight!"

"Is your mother as young as she is?"

After the contractor finished speaking, he turned to the woman again, and said mockingly, "Honey, he said his mother is coming to our place to cook!

Do you agree? "

The coquettish woman snorted, rolled her eyes at Li Qiang, turned her butt and walked away.

"Did you see it? She doesn't want to!" The contractor looked very happy seeing Li Qiang being crushed in his hands.

Little boy, what's so great about being educated?

Useless is a scholar, I haven't graduated from elementary school yet, why don't I still make money and find a good date?
Li Qiang was ridiculed for nothing, and turned to look at his old woman who was waiting for him in the distance.

The old lady's strands of white hair fluttered wildly in the wind.

Seeing her son looking towards her, she smiled with difficulty.

With this smile, the wrinkles on his face seemed to increase several times, and he could be the grandmother of the woman just now.

"Hey!" Li Qiang sighed, feeling that it was really unwise to bring his old lady out.

Even if he finds a job by himself, he still has to bring his old lady's mouth, and drinking water in the city costs money.

He couldn't find a job, and couldn't let his old lady sleep on the street. Li Qiang found the cheapest small hotel and settled his old lady down.

Started doing odd jobs here and there.

First, I went to the grain depot as a temporary worker and carried bags for a day.

But the [-]-jin sack weighed on Li Qiang's shoulders, and he felt that his waist and legs were going to be broken.

The chest was hot all day long, as if something was about to be vomited.

After working for a day, he couldn't bear it anymore, and the skin on his shoulder was worn out.

Before he could speak, they gave him six yuan and told him not to come tomorrow.

I found another job as a security guard. After standing for a day, my legs were straight when I walked off work, and I couldn't bend them.

This job can't be done.

I found four or five jobs in a row, but I didn't do it for a week.

The couple's money decreased day by day, and Li Qiangchou's temples were filled with gray hair.

It is a nightmare for a middle-aged man to lose his job. He is slumped in a small hotel and drinking.

Clothes were wrinkled like overnight prunes.

The old lady nagged more and more seriously, scolding him for his good life, and tossing and tossing about, and tossing and destroying the family.

The pressure of life and his mother's nagging made him almost suffocate.

Finally, when Li Qiang went out to look for work again this day, he met two co-workers he had known before.

The two were mysterious and asked him, "I wonder if you can do a job?"

There is not much money in hand, and it is better to have work than to be hungry.

Li Qiang was sober when he heard that there was work to do.

"I have an acquaintance who sells clothes. He is going to the south to buy goods. He has a lot of goods. He wants to take two people there to fight for courage. He will give you a hundred or two hundred benefits when he comes back."

It's a matter of guts, but it's actually looking for a bodyguard.

Li Qiang still understood this point.

If you want to find a bodyguard, you must have a lot of money or a lot of goods, and you need someone to help carry it.

Li Qiang recalled that before the leap month, he was the home of the clothing business, so he might as well follow him to the south to see if he encounters any suitable opportunity, maybe Xianyu will turn around.

After agreeing, Li Qiang went back to the small hotel to tell his mother, and planned to follow the two of them.

Unexpectedly, his mother disagreed, she pulled Li Qiang's arm and burst into tears, "Son, it doesn't matter if you leave, what if something happens to my mother here alone?
Mother can't read, and there is no acquaintance here, her eyes are dark, who do you ask mother to go to if something happens? "

"Oh mother!" Li Qiang shook off his mother's hand, "You just live here honestly, what can happen?

I will be back in a few days.

Besides, I'm going to find money, it's better than both of us starving to death here, right?

If we can find an opportunity to make money this trip, maybe our mother and I will buy high-rise buildings and enjoy happiness in the future. "

"Son..." The old lady wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Li Qiang, "Mother, don't worry about it! If you don't care about the matter between me and Leanyue, will our mother be able to make it to today?
You don't talk about my affairs in the future! "

When Mrs. Li heard that her son was blaming herself, she was so frightened that she quickly shut up and let her son take two changes of clothes and leave.

It was only after her son left that she remembered that she didn't seem to have much money in her pocket.

I took it out and counted it, and the whole body was less than five yuan.

Three meals a day are compressed into two meals, and one meal costs [-] cents to buy two steamed buns, which is enough for five days.

On the sixth day after Li Qiang left, old Mrs. Li was at a loss, not to mention the food money, and the accommodation fee in the small hotel was also due.

People started to drive people out.

Old Mrs. Li begged bitterly, saying that when her son came back, he would give the money and would never fail to pay the debt.

The people in the small hotel are even more disgusted, "We are open for business, and we need money to do business, not a shelter or a nursing home.

If you have no place to stay, you can go to the government, we can't control it! "

After finishing speaking, he didn't care if she was pitiful, and threw her bedroll out.

Old Mrs. Li wanted to cry, but she sighed in her heart why the people in this city are so cold-blooded, they don't show affection at all, they only care about money.

She wanted to give full play to her ability to swear and swear.

But thinking that this is the city, not Qingniu Village, the people in the city are so easy to mess with?
If she can't manage to send her to the police station, where can she put her old face when she is locked up?
Old Mrs. Li pulled a strip of cloth from her clothes, tied up the luggage, and carried it on her shoulder with difficulty.

It's really shouting that every day should not be answered, and that the ground is not working.

When passing by a trash can, old Mrs. Li saw the moldy food thrown by others, she pounced on it like a hungry wolf, picked it up and stuffed it into her mouth.

Weeping while stuffing it, anyway, the family still has a few acres of land, how could it suddenly be reduced to this point!
It's really a lot of family business, and I can't afford to have a prodigal son!
