I Raised The Richest Man In The World

Chapter 7: relief center

Views:

The relief center is a dilapidated two-story small house with the words "Volunteer Emergency Social Service" written on it, and there is a long queue at the door.

Cheng Hao pulled the black man to the back of the line, and then asked, "How do I get food here?" He knew such a place from Cheng Jinhao's memory, but Cheng Jinhao had never received food at a relief center. He also doesn't know the process.

The black man took a look at Cheng Hao and said, "After you go in, fill out a form and you can get the food."

"What do I have to fill in the form?" Cheng Hao asked again.

"Social security number, place of residence and so on." The black man said: "If you have already received food here before, it will not be so troublesome."

Cheng Hao: "..."

Cheng Jinhao still had a brain. When he ran away from home, he had a fight with the couple who lived in his host family and took away his passport.

But he doesn't have a social security number, no proof of utility bills, not a lot of stuff.

In the United States, there is no ID card. Generally, passports, driver’s licenses, and social security numbers are used to prove one’s identity. In this era, social security numbers have not been popularized since children, and many minors do not have this number... Passports should also be OK

Whether it works or not, always try.

Cheng Hao thought so, and looked at the black man again: "Do you know where you can punch? It's not formal, the kind that can make money."

Cheng Hao was thinking about how to make money last night, after much deliberation, he found that the only thing he could do was punch.

He can't participate in formal boxing matches for the time being, after all, there is no way out, and this body has not been trained, so it is difficult to win, but he can participate in some irregular matches, which are commonly known as black boxing.

As a boxer who has won the lightweight world championship, he knows the experience of many well-known boxers in the world, and some famous boxers in this era have the experience of fighting black boxing.

Of course, the real black boxing is not as dangerous as some novels, and the black boxers are not as powerful as some novels. In fact, after a formal boxing match, the real strong generally do not fight black Fist, run to fight for the boxing champion.

Fighting black boxing is dangerous and hard, and you don't make much money. How can you look forward to participating in regular competitions and being admired by others

So generally speaking, the strength of black boxers is not as good as that of regular boxers.

The black boxing venues are basically places like bars. With his current situation, he can find a small black boxing venue to fight a few rounds, and train by the way to restore his fighting power.

Of course, the most important thing is to make money to eat.

The black man was taken aback: "You want to punch?"

"I'm a boxer." Cheng Hao said.

"My God! So you are a boxer! No wonder you are so good!" The black man made exaggerated expressions and movements, and his eyes on Cheng Hao changed completely.

If before, he still had the intention of playing tricks in front of Cheng Hao, thinking of running away, but now he obviously has no such courage.

"So do you know such a place?" Cheng Hao asked.

"I know!" the man said, "In our community, in Old George's bar, there are people punching every night! But they don't allow me to go in, I've never seen them punching."

"You take me there to have a look later." Cheng Hao said.

The black man immediately agreed, looking happy, and said: "I watched the boxing match on TV, those people are really amazing... Can I become a boxer?"

This man is thin and small, has no muscles on his body, and is still timid. He does not have the qualifications to become a boxer at all, let alone his character is not good, and he was still bullying Lin Yuxun last night...

Cheng Hao was about to hit him, thought for a while and asked, "How old are you?"

"Fourteen years old!" the man said.

Cheng Hao said: "If you work hard from now on, maybe you can succeed." But he is a minor, so he should not hit him.

The black man immediately cheered up.

The queue at the relief center was very long, and the people in front were one by one, and the speed of receiving relief was still very slow.

Cheng Hao waited in line for two hours, but it wasn't his turn yet, but he learned more from the black man.

The name of this black man is Chester. He doesn't know who his father is, and he has been living with his mother.

His mother was pregnant with a child when she was in middle school, and now she has given birth to eight children one after another. Her low education and continuous childbirth prevented her from finding a job. The family has been living on subsistence allowances and relief.

As for why he bullied Lin Yuxun... Cheng Hao inquired about some information from him, and guessed the general idea.

In this community, Lin Yuxun is the only person of yellow race. He has a dumb younger brother but has no parents. He naturally becomes the bottom of the society and can be bullied by anyone.

The Chester in front of him was in the slums, and he was actually the target of being bullied, but his situation was better than Lin Yuxun's. After being bullied by others, he ran to bully Lin Yuxun to find balance.

In addition, Lin Yuxun's bullying was also related to his incompatibility with the people here.

According to Chester, Lin Yuxun is the one with the best grades in the school.

When everyone was not studying, Lin Yuxun had good grades, so he became an outlier, not to mention that he was still very introverted and had no friends.

According to Chester, Lin Yuxun is like "Fu Manchu", and he is a villain at first sight.

Fu Manchu is a Chinese villain in western novels and movies. He has a sinister face and is dressed as an official of the Qing Dynasty. He is very smart but very evil. He is determined to destroy the world... In the past hundred years, there have been many movies with him. "Doctor Who Fu Manchu", "Fu Manchu Returns" and the like once made Westerners fear the Chinese.

Chester and the others felt that Lin Yuxun, just like Fu Manchu, must be thinking about how to kill people all day long.

Cheng Hao: "..."

It's all about what! Even being bullied for good grades? Being a little introverted is actually regarded as a big villain

Cheng Hao was not happy, but Chester added: "Of course, you are different from Fu Manchu, you are the same as Bruce Lee, you know Chinese Kung Fu!"

Cheng Hao's hands were a little itchy. As soon as he stretched out his hand, he pinched Chester's ear, and then twisted it hard: "You'd better not bully Lin Yuxun in the future. If I see you bullying him, I will let you Get a good feel of what is Chinese Kung Fu!"

Chester screamed exaggeratedly, repeatedly promising that he would not bully Lin Yuxun, but the people around him turned a blind eye when they saw this scene.

The line finally reached him, and Cheng Hao went in first, and saw a cabinet inside, and a white woman was sitting behind the cabinet, and on the wall at the back, there was a line of big characters - "The sale of relief food is prohibited!"

Cheng Hao expressed his desire to receive relief food, but was rejected.

He has no record of living in the community, and he is underage.

Minors can come to receive relief, but at least his family must first register here and become low-income earners.

Cheng Hao didn't even receive a carton of milk, and the person in charge of distributing relief food had already started calling the next person.

The next person is Chester.

Cheng Hao was still waiting for Chester to take him to find a boxing place, so he stayed there and waited for a while, and then saw Chester suddenly wiped his eyes and cried: "My God, there is no food in my house Yeah, my brother and sister are starving to death... You know, I have so many children in my family, God... please help us..."

He was crying so sadly that Cheng Hao couldn't help feeling sympathetic, not to mention the person who distributed the food, she obviously knew Chester, and comforted: "Don't cry, I will give you some Food...milk and sandwiches today."

Probably because of the large number of people in Chester's family, she gave Chester about twenty sandwiches and twenty cartons of milk.

When Chester came out holding the food, Cheng Hao was a little jealous.

He is still hungry!

Fortunately, Chester was very good. After he left the relief center, he found a clean place to sit down, and asked Cheng Hao to eat with him, and even opened a sandwich: "Cheng, do you want to eat? That's great, This is a rare sausage sandwich!"

As he spoke, he took out the thin sausage sandwiched between the sandwiches in his hand and stuffed it into his mouth. After eating, he went to take down a sandwich, and then took out the sausage again to eat.

Cheng Hao was amazed at his way of eating.

Taking ten sandwiches from him and several cartons of milk, Cheng Hao said, "This is your compensation for bullying Lin Yuxun yesterday."

This man and his friend smashed Lin Yuxun's door, and he had to find a way to repair it, and of course he had to collect some compensation.

Chester didn't mind Cheng Hao taking away his food at all, and even said very generously: "Do you want some more? I have a lot of food!"

"You should take it home." Cheng Hao said, opened a sandwich and ate it.

He was not small enough to be a sandwich for a meal, and he ate five of them in one go.

He could feel that his wound had been recovering all the time, and the reason why he hadn't fully recovered after so long was entirely because his injury was too serious.

But after another two days of feeding, he should be fine.

When Cheng Hao finished eating five sandwiches, Chester had already eaten all the sausages in those sandwiches, and he took out the sausages with his hands and ate them.

Cheng Hao clearly remembered that when this person was knocked to the ground by him, he wiped his hands full of mud, and he hadn't washed his hands since then.

Seen by Cheng Hao's gaze, Chester looked at his hand in puzzlement: "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing... Let's go back to school." Cheng Hao said, he told Lin Yuxun that he would go there at noon, so he must go and have a look, and then go to the bar where he can fight in the afternoon.

"Yes, I should go to school to see. I don't know if there is any meat in school today." Chester took off his shirt, wrapped the sandwiches without sausages, and walked forward with Cheng Hao.

At this time, Lin Yuxun had already returned to school.

School is about to have lunch.

In the past, Lin Yuxun would take the plate to get the food immediately, but today he didn't do that, but stayed under the tree at the school gate, waiting for Cheng Hao.

He is a Chinese, and his parents are descendants of Chinese laborers who came to the United States to build railways.

These Chinese laborers are all hard-working. If they don’t encounter accidents, they can live a pretty good life through their hardworking hands. However, the United States not only has the Chinese Exclusion Act, but is also very unfriendly to the Chinese. certain jobs.

His parents have been struggling at the bottom. They don't know Chinese, and they can't learn English well, so they live by selling their labor.

Because of this, his mother left him and his father after she met a white man who was still willing to marry her, when he was only five years old.

For the next many years, he lived with his father, who was taciturn and didn't talk to him very much, only occasionally letting him study hard.

He has been studying hard, but when he was thirteen, his father died.

His father had no relatives, and at the age of thirteen, he was finally sent to his mother.

At that time, his mother had divorced the white man and lived in this community with the deaf-mute Danny.

The hard life made his mother drink and beat people, and she even completely ignored her two children. When he first came, Danny even had little meat because he was always hungry.

He carefully hid the grain so that his mother would not exchange it for wine, and took good care of Danny. Although he felt that life was hard, there was always something to look forward to.

He is very smart, maybe he has the opportunity to take a loan to go to college and become a doctor.

I heard that Danny's ear has a chance to be cured.

However, his mother passed away.

When his mother was around, although he wasn't likable, at least he wasn't bullied very much. After his mother passed away, some people would always find an opportunity to beat him.

Not to mention Danny, the kid was just playing outside the house, and someone might suddenly run over and kick him down. After a few times, he didn't even dare to let Danny go out.

However, what made him even more unacceptable was that no one talked to him.

Danny can't speak, and the people around him don't talk to him, and they even avoid him... He doesn't know how to deal with all this, he feels very painful.

His grades are very good, but this is not his strength, but the reason why he was attacked.

People around will always say: "Look at him, he is studying so hard... Does he think he is white?"

At the same time, he also found that it was almost impossible for him to go to university.

He couldn't apply for a loan at all.

He didn't think he could hold on either—he was always attacked when he was in school, and he didn't even dare to stay in school.

Maybe he shouldn't even hope for things that don't belong to him.

He felt that he would not be able to hold on, if he hadn't died, Danny would not be able to live, he might choose to end his life...

It was at this time that someone asked him for help, speaking in Chinese.

He carried the man back home in a strange way, and gave him the food he had hidden.

He didn't ask for anything, he just hoped that someone could talk to him.

Lin Yuxun was waiting for Cheng Hao at the school gate.

The iron gate of the rented house was broken, he ran out of food, and he offended a few black people - those people were beaten by Cheng Hao, and they will definitely come to trouble him even more in the future.

He's facing a desperate situation, but it's not too uncomfortable... After all, now someone can talk to him.

Lin Yuxun waited at the school gate for a long time, but Cheng Hao never came.

Lunch time is coming to an end, but Cheng Hao is still missing.

He... is he gone
