C13 Because They Are Poor
The rich have his troubles, the poor have his misery.
For example, taxi drivers and Liu Pangzi, people who lived at the bottom of society, regardless of whether it was their memories or reality, were filled with misery and helplessness.
For the sake of a family's livelihood, the taxi driver put his thoughts on the meter.
Although he had tampered with the meter, it was very likely that he would call for a complaint from the passengers, causing him to be fined by the company, or he might meet a social person like Wang Fann and be taught a lesson.
However, he had no choice. The pressure of life forced him to take risks and use this method to feed himself and his family.
Liu Pangzi, a timid guy, actually wanted to teach Han Chen a lesson on behalf of Wang Fann for the sake of his sister's tuition. He had already expected the consequences of doing so.
Poverty makes you have no choice.
Poverty, you don't care about the consequences.
It was precisely because of poverty and the pressure of life that many people embarked on a path of no return.
Liu Pangzi, who was standing in front of him, had an injury on his face. His eyes were filled with fanaticism and persistence. He looked at Wang Fann with anticipation, hoping that this man who had once let him go would give him another chance to live.
"Have you thought about it?"
Wang Fann's voice was deep as he smoked. It didn't sound like it came from his throat, but more like his soul was talking to Liu Pangzi.
"Mr Fann, I have thought it through. I will never betray you!" Liu Pangzi's eyes were bloodshot, and his face was filled with excitement.
"Master Xia, what should we do?" Wang Fann looked at the stone bench at the entrance of the yard and blew out a smoke ring. He then turned around and looked at Liu Pangzi.
Liu Pangzi realized that Wang Fann had been swayed. He quickly replied, "I have made a deal with Seventh Aunt in the village. She will take care of Master Xia. I can rest assured that I will be in there for a few years. "
"Besides, Liu Pangzi said. Mr Fann, aren't you still in our village? What does Master Xia have to do with you?"
After saying these words, Liu Pangzi poured a glass of wine for Wang Fann. His face was full of a fawning expression.
"Do you really believe me that much? I was going to kill you before, did you forget?" Wang Fann picked up the wine that Liu Pangzi poured and drank it in one gulp. He looked at Liu Pangzi curiously.
When Wang Fann mentioned what happened earlier, Liu Pangzi's face turned red and he said with a smile, "Mr Fann, it's someone else. I'm afraid that I wouldn't be beaten to death, but my legs would have been broken. You're the only one who didn't give me to Sann Kun because you felt sorry for me. I'm not stupid. I know you're a good person. "
"I like this flattery!" Wang Fann put the empty cup on the table and nodded in satisfaction. He pointed at the cup and asked Liu Pangzi to pour the wine.
Seeing Wang Fann's satisfaction, Liu Pangzi poured the wine and said, "Mr Fann, I have thought about it. I will be arrested by the police later. Tell them I have the wrong person and admit my mistake. I think I will be sentenced to one or two years at most. It will not be a problem. "
"Then your sister and Master Xia, are you so assured?"
"To be honest, Mr Fann, if it was someone else, I would not be at ease. It is you. I, Liu Pangzi, trust you. "
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Liu Pangzi, did you pour honey into your mouth? Why does it sound so sweet?"
Seeing Wang Fann finish drinking the wine in his glass again, Liu Pangzi quickly picked up the wine bottle. He poured wine for his God of Wealth and said happily, "Mr Fann, Don't try to make fun of me. I haven't been to any school. I don't know how to speak either. It's just based on my feelings. I think you're a good person. I want to come out and work with you in the future. "
"Liu Pangzi, let me ask you something. Tell me the truth. " Wang Fann did not raise his glass again. He sat on the stool and looked at Liu Pangzi. His expression was very serious. He did not look like he was laughing at all.
"Mr Fann, tell me. " Liu Pangzi was stunned by Wang Fann's serious expression and answered blankly.
"The government gave some demolition funds to Liu Village. I heard from the villagers that almost every family has hundreds of thousands. What about your family's money? Why didn't you pay for your sister's tuition? Did you throw it all into the casino? " Wang Fann stared into Liu Pangzi's eyes and asked.
As if he had been stabbed by needles, Liu Pangzi's mouth twitched, but soon he returned to normal. He looked at Wang Fann with a bitter smile and said, "Mr Fann, if I had money, would I need to go to the casino and cheat? Even if I, Liu Pangzi, open a restaurant, I wouldn't do something so risky! "
"Oh?" Liu Pangzi's answer surprised Wang Fann.
Liu Pangzi's method of cheating was not very experienced, but if it was not a very professional person watching from the side, it would be hard to discover his little tricks.
The last time Wang Fann caught Liu Pangzi cheating in the field was because the dealer in the field was a veteran. After observing Liu Pangzi a few times, the dealer told Wang Fann about his cheating.
Therefore, if Liu Pangzi relied on his cheating method and got into the casino freely, even if he could not win the pot and fill the pot, he would not have to worry about food and drinks.
From these things, it seemed that Liu Pangzi really didn't have money, but this kind of result really made Wang Fann curious.
As if Wang Fann had asked a painful question, Liu Pangzi helplessly returned to his seat. He smiled bitterly and said, "Mr Fann, I am not from Liu Village. When I was four years old, I was kidnapped and sold to the Liu Village. It was my adoptive parents who kindly bought me, and they have been helping me find my family. Later on, they gave birth to a daughter, and they still treated me like their own son. "
"Raising parents? Where are they? "
"No, I'm not. When they were 12 years old, they had an accident, and both husband and wife were gone. My sister was only 6 years old that year. If it wasn't for Master Xia taking us in. . . We're starving. "
"Master Xia and you aren't related?"
"No, Master Xia was injured in the army when he was young, so he did not leave Liu Village. He is also an outsider. This old house was built by himself in the past. "
"What about your adoptive parents' house? As long as there is a house, the government will pay for the demolition, right?"
"A house? He had already let my second uncle, the village chief, occupy it. Back then, he gave me two bags of millet and bought our house. "
" F * ck me! Two bags of millet?"
"I have no choice. My sister is only 6 years old. If I can starve, I can't let her starve either! Sigh!"
With a sigh, Liu Pangzi's face was filled with helplessness. He fiddled with the wine glass in his hand, as if he was looking at himself being toyed with.
"You went to deliver the goods to Mute because of this money?" Wang Fann looked at the dispirited Liu Pangzi and asked.
"En!" Liu Pangzi nodded his head heavily.
Wang Fann took out a stack of money from Mr Nan's pocket and stuffed it into his shirt pocket. The rest of the money, along with the tea bag, was thrown onto the table with the wine glass and chicken stew.
Before Liu Pangzi could open his mouth to speak, Wang Fann spoke first, "Take it and use it. Wait for me to come back and snatch back everything you deserve!"
