I Raised The Richest Man In The World

Chapter 5: Making money is hard

Views:

Danny couldn't hear anything. He didn't know that someone had troubled Lin Yu before, and he didn't know that someone knocked on the door not long ago.

When he was full, he obediently sat on the bed and fiddled with the tabs of a few cans, put them on his fingers, and took them off again.

Cheng Hao glanced at him and comforted Lin Yuxun: "Don't worry, it's okay, I will repair the door, and I will definitely fix the door tomorrow." The structure of the door is very simple, so he should be able to try to repair it.

Lin Yuxun's face was still ugly, but there was some brilliance in his eyes: "Thank you."

"It's me who should say thank you. If you hadn't saved me, I'm afraid I'd die." Cheng Hao said.

"I didn't do anything..." Lin Yuxun said, "I don't have the money to send you to the hospital."

"I'm fine, I don't need to go to the hospital." Cheng Hao said, he had been to the United States when he participated in a boxing match before, and he knew how terrible the medical expenses in the United States were without medical insurance.

Although it was 1880, forty years ago, it was definitely not cheap to see a doctor here.

And... According to Cheng Jinhao's memory, there is no hospital in the poor community.

Lin Yuxun was obviously a bit introverted. He glanced at Cheng Hao, didn't answer, and sat there dumbfounded for a while before saying, "I'm going to do the laundry."

As he said, he picked up Cheng Hao's dirty clothes and his own clothes and went outside. Soon, the sound of water came from outside.

Cheng Hao wanted to thank him, but felt that just saying "thank you" was not enough, coupled with his exhaustion... He didn't say much, but closed his eyes again.

He's not feeling well right now, he's very weak and very, very hungry.

The fishy smell from canned tuna became alluring... Cheng Hao restrained himself from thinking too much, and started thinking about other things.

For example, how do you want to live in the future.

In his current situation, he can continue to go to school, but if he goes to school, he will have no income and can't live at all-people have needs in all aspects of food, clothing, housing and transportation, even if there are welfare here to guarantee "food", he can't No money to rent a house to buy clothes.

Therefore, he must find a way to make money.

But making money is not so easy.

If you want to find a job, you need at least a high school diploma, and preferably a driver's license, but he... or should I say Cheng Jinhao, has nothing.

He is still young.

Even a restaurant would not ask a minor like him who has nothing to be a waiter.

If there were a restaurant with such a low standard for recruiting waiters, he probably wouldn't be able to compete with those who were born and bred here.

Why are people in poor neighborhoods so poor? Is it because many of them are out of work? Although there are people here who would rather be homeless than work, there are also many people who are willing to break heads with others for a job opportunity.

Therefore, he couldn't find jobs that didn't require technical content.

As for jobs that require technical content... he has no technical skills at all, he has been boxing in his previous life, and he only knows how to box.

Of course, he has the same advantage over others - he understands Chinese.

But these days, Americans are definitely not interested in learning Chinese.

Even if some of them wanted to learn, he couldn't find those people. The high-end community here would never allow people like him to get close.

Cheng Hao suddenly realized that... he was worthless.

It is impossible for him to rob and steal money like Cheng Jinhao, so the only thing he can do is to queue up at the relief center.

Thinking of Cheng Jinhao, Cheng Hao thought of Cheng Jinhao's family.

He still has another option, which is to contact Cheng Jinhao's family.

But he couldn't do that...he wanted to live.

Cheng Jinhao was sent to the United States and was stabbed. It was obvious that someone wanted to harm him. If he contacted Cheng Jinhao's family in this situation, he would be throwing himself into a trap.

Cheng Hao thought about a lot of things, but finally he was exhausted and fell asleep slowly.

Cheng Hao didn't know how long he had been asleep, he was woken up by the sound of slapping on the rolling shutter door.

When he woke up, he felt a throbbing pain in his stomach.

The mixed-race child beside him was still sleeping soundly, completely unaffected by the knocking on the door, while Lin Yuxun was not in the bedroom.

Accompanied by the "bang bang" sound of the rolling shutter door being knocked, the voice of the middle-aged man who drove those black people away yesterday sounded outside: "Damn it! You bastard, you broke my door. You have to pay for my door!"

"Sorry..." Lin Yuxun's voice was weak.

"Open the door!" said the man's voice again.

"I... I'm sorry..." Lin Yuxun's voice was barely audible amidst the shaking of the rolling shutter door.

Cheng Hao felt that his condition was much better than yesterday. He got out of bed and walked out of the bedroom, only to see Lin Yuxun trying to open the door.

Lin Yuxun was wearing a washed-out shirt and an ill-fitting woolen vest covered with small pompoms. His head was sweating from anxiety, but he still couldn't open the door.

The shutter door has been deformed.

The lock of the rolling door is connected with a finger-thick iron rod on the left and right sides. When the key is turned to lock, the iron rod sticks out a little to the two sides and sticks into the hole of the iron door frame next to it. Even if it is locked, it needs to be turned to unlock it. The key takes the iron rod back.

But now, because someone smashed the door before, the iron rod was bent, and the door naturally couldn't be opened.

"I shouldn't have let you live in the house! It's fine if you can't pay the rent, and you like to make trouble!" The middle-aged man's voice sounded outside again, and while speaking, he asked Lin Yuxun to open the door cursing.

"The door is stuck now and cannot be opened, but don't worry, I will fix the door later." Cheng Hao said in English. The fact that the door was broken had nothing to do with them, but it had nothing to do with the landlord, so he was willing to find a way to fix it.

It's a pity that as soon as he made a sound, the middle-aged man who should be the landlord became even angrier: "Who is this? Boy, I said you can't bring people back! You need to increase the rent if you bring people back!"

As he spoke, he began to scold, very badly.

Cheng Hao hadn't been scolded much before, and he didn't know how to deal with this situation. Fortunately, at this time, the voice of the woman who scolded those black women last night sounded: "Honey, stop scolding, and scold this The door won't fix either... just let them fix it!"

"Does that poor man have the money to repair my door?"

"If he has no money, kick him out." The woman said: "My dear, don't be angry, I cooked onion soup for you, come and eat."

The sound gradually faded away, and it was finally quiet here.

At this time, Lin Yuxun looked at Cheng Hao: "If this door needs to be repaired, the iron bars must be broken back... I can't break it." understandable.

"I'll come." Cheng Hao said.

"You were injured..." Lin Yuxun hesitated.

"I'm fine." Cheng Hao said, he must work hard now, otherwise they won't be able to get out - Lin Yuxun is too thin, and looks weak.

Having said that, Cheng Hao came to the door, observed it for a while and broke it hard...

The iron pole wasn't thick, and it was really straightened by him, but his wound seemed to have collapsed again.

Fortunately, after a night of rest, he was already much better, and even if the wound collapsed, he would not faint.

Cheng Hao sat on the stool next to him and asked Lin Yu, "Open the door and try.

Lin Yuxun nodded and tried to open the door.

The lock can be opened, but the door is deformed, and it cannot be pulled up to a certain extent. In the end, the door can only be lifted one meter from the ground.

If you want to get out, you have to bend down and drill out.

However, at least I was able to get out.

Cheng Hao said: "Let's do this first, and I'll figure out the rest later."

"Okay." Lin Yuxun said.

"Are you busy today?" Cheng Hao asked again.

Lin Yuxun said, "I'm going to school."

Cheng Hao thought for a while and said, "I'll take you to school." Those black people might come to trouble Lin Yuxun again, so it's better for him to send Lin Yuxun to school.

Lin Yuxun was stunned: "You have injuries."

"I said, I'm fine." Cheng Hao said. In the current situation, he must go out to have a look... After Lin Yuxun is sent to school, he will look for the relief center here and queue up to receive the relief.

Lin Yuxun still wanted to refuse, but Cheng Hao insisted, so he said, "Then let's go."

"Wait, eat something first." Cheng Hao said, Lin Yuxun didn't eat anything last night, and he probably didn't eat anything this morning.

Lin Yuxun's face was a little red: "There's nothing to eat at home... But don't worry, the school has free breakfast. Then you wait for me at the school gate, and I can bring some out for you."

Cheng Hao had already guessed that Lin Yuxun might not have any more food, and after confirming it, he was even more embarrassed: "You don't need to take it out... I will go in and eat by myself."

Schools in poor communities are not strictly controlled. When Cheng Jinhao left his original place of residence to wander around, he would go to school to eat when he was hungry, and he could do the same.

He was so hungry that even if it was a little embarrassing to do so, he couldn't care less.
