There are about 30,000 people engaged in the unofficial recycling industry in City B.
Other jobs are for making money, but those who enter this line of work are mostly for survival. If you have enough money and know etiquette, you are almost too poor to survive. Who cares about morality and civilization? People who can do the dirtiest and toughest jobs are really cruel people.
Everyone lives like a wild animal, who can kill his head for a few pieces of garbage.
In the early years, the country neglected management in this area and allowed it to develop barbarously. People from various places got tangled up in groups and gradually formed their own gangs.
Lu Yong still remembered that when he was eleven years old, the father and son had just started this business. They didn't know the rules, the business had been ups and downs, the debts were not going well, and they lived on a tight schedule.
As soon as he got out of school, he went to help his father. He is tall. Other children are still a skinny little bean sprouts at this age, but he is already 1.6 meters to 1.7 meters. The man is about the same size, regardless of his age, people will always think he is at least fourteen or fifteen years old. It can't be seen that he is still a primary school student.
Once he went out, carrying a snakeskin bag along the road to pick up garbage. A few men with fierce faces came over, stood a few steps away from him, and threw an unfinished plastic bottle in front of him, soaking him in water, he froze on the spot, hesitated, Just walked over, and just squatted down to pick it up, another empty bottle was thrown over him, and the uncle said with a murderous smile in a heavily accented voice: "Pick it up? Still pick it up? I don't know this piece of land is ours. Site? If you dare to come here again, I will kill you and your father."
"Hey, you're still staring at me. The kid is very fierce, like a puppy. Hahahahaha."
Then trouble ensues.
For a long time, at night, the garbage they put in the yard would disappear, so they put it inside the house, and it disappeared after waking up. You have to pay to change the locks. It will also puncture your car's tires and put cockroaches in your yard.
Anyone who is disgusting and noisy will come.
I went to the police just to prepare a case, but nothing was found. There was no SkyEye surveillance network back then, and fingerprints could not be collected. The father and son were already poor, so how could they have the time and energy to spend? Every time it's nothing.
So the father and son took turns to watch the night, and they couldn't bear it after just a few days. This is not a solution. I am already tired from working, so how can I have the energy to get up and work during the day if I don’t sleep at night
Sometimes when I go out to pick up waste and leave alone, I will be attacked by people, and there is no peace all the time.
In this line of work, you have to be ruthless to survive and continue to work well, making people afraid of you.
Dad went to pay homage to the top of the mountain, paid protection fees, and made friends with a bunch of brothers, so that he could gradually make stable income. But sometimes when I go home, I will get hanged on my body. When the trouble is the worst, everyone will use a truck to drag people to the garbage dump to fight in groups. Dad will not let him go with him, and ask him to leave a clean file.
Later, after the fiercest fight, it was compared to who had the hardest fist. The officials could no longer let them be in chaos, so they let everyone sit down and talk peacefully, set rules, divide up the interests, and do their own business. Delineate the scope, well water does not interfere with river water.
He had a fight with him once, and he thought he was good at fighting. The members of their hometown association said that they wanted to find a group of youngest fighters who could fight. Lu Yong was born really tall and strong, so he wanted to add him.
Dad pushed: "What kind of fight did he fight? He was lucky that time. You see, he lacked a hand, so how can he beat others?"
It's a very valid reason.
In private, Dad discussed with him and said: "You are not allowed to go next time, even if they let you go."
"Dad is here. I'll take care of it first. You are still a child, so the child will be a child. If you don't have any, go out to fight and kill. You don't look like a student."
"You are different from Dad. If you want to be successful, you must not be the first to think of beating someone to solve everything. There is no end to fighting. What's the use of just beating? He broke a rib, and you lost a tooth." , and then go to beat him, and he beats you again, this is done by fools like us, don't listen to what those people say, think it is so manly and loyal. Dad is forced to have no choice. Don't Like Dad, nothing but brute strength."
He also said: "But Dad doesn't mean to let you endure being bullied. We don't bully, but we can't be bullied either!"
So what do you do if you don't fight
Later, Lu Yong read all kinds of relevant documents, which made him think of a solution. He checked out the various procedures and asked him to go to the Environmental Sanitation Bureau to apply for a garbage disposal right in a garbage dump. The process was very cumbersome and took a lot of effort. It took me two months to run back and forth, and I was even laughed at.
Those people said that instead they would rather fight than use their brains.
At that time, the country did not deal with this formally. It was said that if the garbage dump was done by itself, the whole process of collection, transportation and treatment was expensive and troublesome. It's true that they got the qualifications and have a fixed source of money from then on.
The first pot of gold that started the company was dug out of the garbage mountain.
It was also since then that their family started to get on the right track, and they started to earn more money, and they didn't have to worry about fighting with others all day long.
His father has the title of half a regular army, he is loyal and righteous, and he does not treat others badly. Many fellow villagers are willing to follow him and get a share of the pie.
…
So, Lu Yong called his father, and his father called again, and immediately called a group of people over, all of them were carrying goods and working every day, full of muscles, compared with this group of lazy gambling dogs, You don't have to fight to know which side loses.
He's here to mess things up.
— "I didn't plan to gamble with them from the beginning. I didn't plan to take money if I won, and I didn't plan to give them money if I lost."
When Lu Yong said this, it seemed that he couldn't be more honest, but the people who heard it next to him were so angry that they almost vomited blood.
Since he was a child, he has silently understood the truth in his heart, and he must be down-to-earth, but if an honest person wants not to be bullied by treacherous people, he must be more treacherous than treacherous people when he becomes treacherous.
No wonder a young master like Shen Wenqiu was bullied by these people.
Lu Yong thought anxiously, Shen Wenqiu would have come to him earlier, why was he being bullied by these people
But his calculations also came to nothing because Shen Wenqiu called the police, and now a whole bunch of people have entered the police station, which is full. The brothers are okay, they just surrounded the building, they didn’t do anything else, they couldn’t really say they broke the law, they were let go after a few lessons, but a group of gambling dogs gathered to gamble with convincing evidence, so they had to be interrogated thoroughly.
The acquainted police officer Ren saw Shen Wenqiu again, and sighed helplessly: "Why are you in again?"
Glancing at Lu Yong beside him again, he said, "Are you still bringing your friend in?"
The subtext is to accuse Shen Wenqiu of not learning well, and dragging innocent people into the water.
In the past when Shen Wenqiu himself was arrested, he would act foolishly, saying "reform it, change it". In fact, anyone with a discerning eye could see that he didn't repent, but today is different. Today he is sullen and doesn't want to talk at all, letting others scold him .
Another policeman next to him interjected: "It's none of his business today, he's a whistleblower, and he's going to destroy private affairs impartially!"
Police officer Zheng smiled: "What the hell? Still exterminating selfishness? Is this how the term is used?"
Shen Wenqiu couldn't laugh, but he didn't agree with the word, all those people added up, couldn't compare to Lu Yong's 1% importance in his heart. No, not even 0%.
Shen Wenqiu was very cooperative this time. In fact, as a whistleblower, he may not be used. In this case, he would not be insulted and welcomed by the corridor. But he had to come. Shen Wenqiu didn't have a playful face or gags at all this time. He explained everything he knew to the police in detail, explaining to him endlessly: "Lu Yong didn't know, I can guarantee that, He's a decent guy, he doesn't even smoke or drink."
"He was tricked into going to the casino. Those people saw him as a rich boss and planned to kill him."
"Me? Of course I don't want him to go. I'm with him...I'm not friends with him. We are classmates in high school. He kindly took me in for a while. I told him, but we just had a fight. "
"You know people like me, who speak unconvincingly, no one believes what I say."
"He didn't take any money. He gambled, gambled, and he had to go in and out to be considered a participant. I think he was just innocently tricked into sitting there for a few minutes. It can't be considered a participation. Let him go."
The policeman looked at Shen Wenqiu carefully, feeling a little curious in his heart. This time Shen Wenqiu broke the law and did not criticize him, but Shen Wenqiu lowered his head deeply, feeling more guilty than ever before when he was arrested. .
Shen Wenqiu spoke as if he was holding on to the last bit of strength: "Lu Yong is just kind, he is an innocent person, and it is all my fault, you should let him go."
Lu Yong is taking notes separately. He has already called a lawyer. He speaks in an orderly manner and has a very serious attitude. He explained in more detail how he met and how he got there. It is almost the same as what Shen Wenqiu said, and it is roughly correct. superior.
There was one thing that really gave the police a headache: "What happened to the group of people outside the building downstairs?"
Lu Yongchunqiu said in a simple way: "After I went, I found something was wrong. I was not allowed to go. I secretly called for help when I saw something was wrong. I just didn't expect my father to call so many people."
"I'm really sorry to cause you trouble. Nothing happened, right? Fortunately, you are dedicated and love your post, and you arrived in such a timely manner that no major disaster was caused. Otherwise, if something happens, I will definitely feel sorry."
Judging by his status, he is really a good citizen! Highly educated talents! Excellent entrepreneur! No matter how you look at it, you are a good young man who abides by the law.
He seems to be an honest and bullied guy. Although he called more than 50 big men to surround the building, he is really innocent and pitiful!
Then Lu Yong's lawyer also arrived, and after a lot of trouble, it was finally over.
Oral education, acquittal.
Lu Yong finally left the interrogation room, and went out to look for Shen Wenqiu anxiously, but he searched around but couldn't find Shen Wenqiu, so he hurriedly asked the policeman who seemed to know Shen Wenqiu: "Hi, Shen Wenqiu What about people?"
The policeman said: "He, he left, he left early."
Lu Yong's face turned cold again, and he closed his eyes. He didn't want to see things discovered like this, but the situation was expected, so he wasn't surprised.
Shen Wenqiu wanted to leave all the time, but sure enough, he was lost as soon as he missed him.
The police handed him a folded piece of paper: "He asked me to hand it over to you."
Lu Yong opened it and saw that there was only one line written on it:
Dayong, I'm leaving. Don't look for me, please.
