Chapter 307 Becoming a Beggar Gang
"Hello, I'm looking for Comrade Li Shanghai." Under the old lady's vigilant gaze, Chen Yuan stated his purpose.
"Oh!" The old lady reacted, "Come in."
Chen Yuan asked Hu Dabao and Shouhou to wait at the entrance of the alley while he went into the house first.
"They live in that room!" The old lady pointed to the northwest corner. "Are you really his relative?"
"Yes, that's right." Chen Yuan has an easy-going attitude and a straight-looking appearance, so he is considered a handsome guy no matter where he goes.
"Oh, I thought they were lying!" The old lady smiled, "It's right inside!"
Chen Yuan went up and knocked on the door. The three people sleeping in the same bed jumped up from the bed at the same time when they heard the knock.
Gou Wa grabbed Li Shanghai's clothes and said, "Brother, are you here to catch us?"
During the few days they had been hiding here, they had already encountered two patrol inspections. They didn't know whether it was intentional or just a coincidence.
The three men looked panicked and each time they escaped danger by hiding in the cellar of the old lady's house.
The old couple was very dissatisfied with the three people's hiding behavior. They always felt that there were bad people living in their house. If Li Shanghai had not paid money to bribe the old couple from time to time, the three of them would have been kicked out long ago.
Li Shanghai swallowed his saliva. Logically speaking, if it was really the old lady who came to inspect, she should have informed them. Could it be that the old couple sold them out?
Just as the three of them were lost in thought, Chen Yuan had already opened the door.
In the darkness, he couldn't see where the three people were hiding.
The three panicked people couldn't see the person coming against the light.
"Li Shanghai!" Chen Yuan called out.
When a familiar voice came, Li Shanghai and the other three were still confused.
The first one to react was Hu Zi, who jumped over from the ground and said, "Brother Yuan, is that you?"
Only then did Chen Yuan see clearly how miserable Hu Zi was.
It's like a beggar.
Looking at Li Shanghai and Gou Wa again, the three of them look like the Beggars' Gang.
Chen Yuan picked Hu Zi up from the ground and asked, "You three, what happened to you?"
"Brother Yuan, you're here!" Hu Zi hugged Chen Yuan's waist and refused to let go. "We've been through so much recently!"
Hearing Hu Zi crying, Chen Yuan felt heartbroken. He patted Hu Zi's shoulder and looked at Li Shanghai.
Li Shanghai felt very guilty. This time it was his misjudgment. If he had not been too eager to make the deal, he would not have lost both money and goods.
"Brother Yuan..."
Li Shanghai stood up and stood awkwardly beside Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan patted Li Shanghai's shoulder and said, "Let's talk about this later. You all should come out first."
Chen Yuan took out fifty cents and handed it to the old lady: "Auntie, thank you for your hard work during this period."
Fifty cents is a lot.
The old lady was originally full of resentment and complaints, but when she saw the money, she took it with a smile on her face.
"Are you leaving today?"
The old lady was still a little reluctant to let go of these three people who were taken advantage of by the explosion of gold coins.
The three of them gave money generously in order to avoid inspection.
The old couple has earned a lot of extra money from the three people during this period, but other than that the three people don't cause any trouble.
He hides in this utility room all day, only using the stove and water, and never comes out normally.
No wonder the three of them are so rough.
Chen Yuan nodded and walked out with the three of them.
Now we have to find a guesthouse for the three of them to wash up.
That's what it looks like.
The community workers on the street could accurately judge without looking at the letters of introduction of the three people that these three people were definitely vagrants and social drifters.
Hu Dabao and Shouhou saw the miserable state of the three people rescued by Chen Yuan. They stared at them intently, not daring to miss any details.
Li Shanghai, Gou Wa and Hu Zi had unshaven beards, their hair was like bird nests, and they exuded a greasy smell.
In short, people dare not get close.
"Brother Hu, my three brothers have been hiding in this den for too long. We need to find a place to clean them up."
Looking at Chen Yuan's attitude towards Hu Dabao and Shouhou, Li Shanghai felt that these must be the helpers Chen Yuan specially found to rescue them.
He was deeply moved.
We still have to rely on Chen Yuan at the critical moment.
He still kept the money that Chen Yuan had mailed to him in his pocket and didn't dare to leave it.
During this period, I lived on the money sent by Chen Yuanmail.
This time when they arrived at the guesthouse, Chen Yuan brought three letters of introduction specially issued by Zhao Qingjian, and Li Shanghai and the other two finally regained their identities.
I can walk around the streets openly now.
After entering the guesthouse, Chen Yuan urged the three of them to quickly take care of their personal hygiene.
Hu Dabao and Shouhou were suspicious of Chen Yuan.
"These three brothers have suffered a lot, haven't they?"
"They didn't dare come out, fearing they would be discovered by community staff, so they could only hide in the home of the elderly couple we had just met."
Chen Yuan understood the helplessness of hiding from place to place.
Hu Dabao nodded sympathetically.
"I'll ask the people from the guesthouse to come up and give us some dry food."
He went out first.
Chen Yuan and Shouhou waited inside the guesthouse.
About two hours later, the three of them stood in front of Chen Yuan in an orderly manner.
Finally, I look like a human being.
The three of them ate tortillas and drank porridge, and they felt so happy.
Although there is a storage room that can shelter us from the wind and rain, it is not easy to live in fear and worry.
Gou Wa took a bite of the tortilla and muttered.
"Brother Yuan and his gang are so cruel. They forced us to kowtow on the beach and even forced Brother Hai to kowtow for half an hour before they let us live."
Chen Yuan looked grim.
Li Shanghai did not mention this in the letter, but seeing Gou Wa's aggrieved face, he knew that Li Shanghai and the others had suffered a lot of humiliation.
"Gou Wa, are they the ones you're trading with?"
Gou Wa nodded.
Li Shanghai actually talked and met with this group of people.
"The person who has been in contact with me is called Dingdian, he is not very old. I heard him say that his uncle is in Hong Kong."
Li Shanghai said that Dingdian was able to get a large quantity of imported goods thanks to his family connections.
This batch of watches was shipped from Hong Kong by sea.
"I asked him for a sewing machine before, and he was the one who found the sewing machine for your family, Brother Yuan."
No wonder Li Shanghai trusts this person.
After all, there had been a transaction before.
Since the other party was trustworthy and the goods were shipped quickly, Li Shanghai didn't think much about it.
Li Shanghai had received a watch from Dingdian before. Although it was not a luxury brand like Rolex, it was also considered a big brand.
No problem.
"This time, Dingdian sent me a letter asking me to wait here. He said that one of his partners came to see me. When we went to inspect the goods, I didn't notice anything wrong."
"The other party was very polite and took the money. He also explained to us how to successfully ship the goods back."
But unexpectedly, just when Li Shanghai and his friends turned around and wanted to take the goods away, the other party had the idea of robbing them.
Just rob them halfway.
"It was only a few miles from the beach, and they took the sacks we had on us, leaving us with nothing but the remaining money!"
The tortilla in Li Shanghai's hand was crumpled into a ball.
"Damn it!"
Hu Dabao followed suit and cursed.
"He's being a bitch on purpose! You bastard! I won't let him off for bullying others like this!"
