Closing the door, before the dishes were served, Xiang Tianze asked with a darkened face: "Uncle Chen is an engineer, and previously, it was also because Uncle Chen was hired over for a high salary by a state-owned enterprise, that's why your whole family moved out. Come to think of it … With such a father, you shouldn't be lacking food and clothing, right? How to... You actually ended up running here to do things with your three hands! "
Chen Caijun said with a bitter face, "Yes … My dad is very capable, but who told me, the son, to be so weak! Sigh … Now that I'm like this, I really don't have the face to go back and meet my parents! "
Speaking till here, Chen Caijun's expression darkened, as if he was about to cry.
Seeing Chen Caijun's pained expression, Xiang Tianze also felt upset, and could only console him: "Enough … It's not too late for you to go back now. Tell me first, why did you have to run all the way to Hai City to do this! Could it be that you've caused a great disaster at Songcheng City? "
"There really isn't one!"
Chen Caijun hurriedly explained, "I was unwilling to study hard all this while. When I was in university, I only scored less than a hundred. Even if my dad is willing to give me money to go to university, I would still feel embarrassed to go! "
"So …" My dad dragged some connections and arranged for me to work in a factory under that state-owned enterprise. He made me a small worker there! Furthermore, my dad repeatedly told me that he was afraid that I would cause trouble... "In the future, you can live your life peacefully. Since you want to learn Dharma Love, don't be too ambitious!"
"How can this be okay!?" I'm still young, and I still have a lot of desires and dreams … I'm not afraid of hitting a wall, not afraid of falling over. However, he was afraid that his life would be too ordinary … Think about what my dad said. If I listen to him, I'll only be able to live in a small factory for the rest of my life. If I get along well, after a few decades, maybe I'll be able to get into some kind of car master job. Just by thinking about it, I can't wait to commit suicide! "
"My family's old man and I have quarreled about this many times, but my family's old man refused to give me a chance for free development. Thus, in a fit of anger, I directly left home with my only five hundred yuan … "Well, it's been five years and I haven't been back since."
Xiang Tianze could not help but feel speechless after hearing this … It seems like this father and son duo are really stubborn! It was obvious that no one could convince anyone else, which was why he was in such a sorry state.
But even with this, Xiang Tianze still spoke with dissatisfaction: "Then even if you want to come out and challenge the world, there's no need to do that right? Can't you earn money by working? "If you don't want to find a job, you can also think of a way to do some small business yourself. Why isn't it better than being a pickpocket?"
Chen Caijun laughed bitterly: "I was thinking the same way, but at that time, I only had a few hundred dollars on me, and when I take the train to Dongjiang, there wouldn't be much money left, so it's definitely impossible for me to do business."
"Originally, I wanted to find a place to work, but I couldn't even take out my high school diploma, so most employers wouldn't want me! I didn't ask for a diploma. I had already used up all my money, so I found a job like this. But who knew … On the other hand, the people at the construction site were all bullies. When they saw that I was a newcomer, they were always against me. Even when I was eating, they would first have to show respect to the old people at the construction site when there was meat in the dishes … "It's not like you don't know my temper, Brother Ze. I tried to endure it once or twice, but as they became more and more excessive, I could no longer bear it any longer and finally broke the heads of those bullies and ran out of the construction site …"
"Later on, I met Second Dong and the others. Although they were all in the business, they were all loyal brothers. I didn't have a single cent left. I hadn't eaten a single bite for more than a day and I was on the verge of fainting … In the end, Second Dong and the others treated me to a full meal and asked me if I wanted to work with them … "
"I thought, I can't find any other good job, and I don't seem to have any other skills besides fighting, so I agreed to work with them …" Originally, there were only three people in Second East City, including me, there were four. After that, when the four of us were fighting bravely, the territory we occupied in the East River became bigger and bigger, and the number of people we had under our command also gradually increased. And everyone saw that I was the best at fighting, and I guess they were quite loyal, that's why they made me their boss! "
"After that... When Second Dong and the others were working outside, they accidentally offended a big boss of the East River. This time, they had poked a hornet's nest, and the boss had spoken … "Let us either kneel in front of his house and cripple each of our own hands, or else all of us will scram out of the East River …"
"Mm …" It was because of this that we, a dozen or so brothers, left the East River and came to Hai City together to earn a living. To tell you the truth, Brother Ze... Actually, it has not even been a week since we came to the Hai City, and no one has been here before. Basically, we have only seen through the dark, and even if we were to find a place to stay at the dock, we do not know who we should look for. "
"We don't have much money with us either. If this goes on, we will all starve to death, so we can't care about that much. We can just start working on the food street! Fortunately, everything had gone smoothly these few days. Although the brothers did not dare to be too arrogant when doing business out of caution, Hai City was Hai City. The people here were truly rich! If you had nothing to do, you could have put five or six thousand dollars in your wallet. "There's no way to compare it with the East River in Songcheng!"
"So these past few days, we eighteen brothers have been living quite comfortably …" It's just that I don't know if I'll be able to touch the rules of the Hai City's underground order.
Hearing Chen Caijun's words, Xiang Tianze couldn't help but to let out a sigh. Since the situation was already like this, Xiang Tianze really didn't know how to scold Chen Caijun.
Although … When Chen Caijun was trapped in that kind of hopeless situation, of course, he could not only choose to become a thief. But... If he chose a different path and went to the restaurant to wash the dishes or something, for Chen Caijun, wouldn't it be better to just go back to the small factory to work?
With Chen Caijun's personality, he would naturally be willing to become a thief. Even if he were to be caught by the police and imprisoned, he would never be willing to be a small labourer and lead a mediocre life.
Therefore, it wasn't good for Xiang Tianze to say anything about Chen Caijun's current situation, but … It was fine if he didn't know it in the past, but now that he met this good bro that he grew up with, he naturally couldn't let him continue to be like this no matter what.
However … Just as Xiang Tianze was thinking about how he was going to get Chen Caijun to throw away everything that he had done so and change his lifestyle with him, he suddenly heard a wave of scolding from outside.
Chen Caijun said with a bitter face, "Yes … My dad is very capable, but who told me, the son, to be so weak! Sigh … Now that I'm like this, I really don't have the face to go back and meet my parents! "
Speaking till here, Chen Caijun's expression darkened, as if he was about to cry.
