Chapter 164: Pig Cage Village
Chapter 164: Pig Cage Village
"Let's go. I'll take you home." Zhang Haoran said as he was about to help her push the cart, but was stopped by the mute girl.
Zhang Haoran looked at her in confusion.
"You don't have to see me off. Just go back and do your thing!" the mute girl signed seriously.
Zhang Haoran nodded: "I understand, you don't want me to know where you live, right?"
The mute girl pursed her lips after hearing this: "Yes, after all, this is the first day we met, I don't know you, so please don't embarrass me."
"Okay, I get it. That's all for today. I'll come to see you tomorrow. You won't refuse, right?" Zhang Haoran said.
The mute girl wanted to refuse, but seeing the look in Zhang Haoran's eyes, she felt reluctant. After hesitating for a moment, she nodded.
"That's good. You can go back soon. I'll leave first. Remember to wait for me there tomorrow." Zhang Haoran waved goodbye.
Then he turned around and left with a smile, and the mute girl looked at Zhang Haoran's back with a complicated expression on her face.
It was still early, so we didn't rush back and instead came all the way to Pig Cage Village.
It seemed busy and lively inside, with children running and playing, and women picking vegetables and washing clothes.
I also saw a few familiar figures, the coolie Qiang who carried the sacks, the sissy Ah Sheng who worked in the tailor shop, and the noodle rolling master Ah Gui. These guys all had special skills.
But compared with the two people upstairs who were secretly looking at him, he was nothing.
"Hey, handsome guy, where are you from? I don't remember having a customer like you. But it doesn't matter. It's your first time here. Would you like to come over to my place and have a seat? I guarantee you'll provide good service." As soon as Bucktooth Jane came out of the stairs, her eyes lit up. It was the first time she met such a handsome man.
"Uh~ No, thank you." Zhang Haoran was stunned for a moment, then refused with a smile.
There was no trace of disdain or contempt in her eyes. Although Bucktooth Jane was not doing a serious job, she had the word righteousness in her heart.
From the fact that when the landlady was about to evict the tenants, Bucktooth Jane said, "I'll pay their rent," we can tell that she is a kind-hearted person.
But Bucktooth was really mesmerized by his sincere smile.
"Hey, handsome guy, it's okay, just come to my place and I won't charge you any fees!" Bucktoothed Jane said and winked at Zhang Haoran.
"Wow, Azhen, when did you become so generous? I see that I am not very willing, so why don't you give me the free opportunity? How about it!" The landlord came down from upstairs at some point and appeared behind bucktoothed Zhen.
"Go away~ You're just dreaming. Are you as handsome as others? No matter how much money you offer, I won't serve you!" Bucktooth Jane rolled her eyes at him.
"Hey! Bucktooth girl! You're taking it too far! Let me tell you..."
"Too much! I have something even more outrageous!"
Before the landlord could finish his words, Mrs. Bao came up behind him, raised her hand and slapped him on the back of the head.
The latter's slippers flew up and he fell to the ground.
Then he glared at Bucktooth Zhen, looked at Zhang Haoran and said, "Hey, young man, this is not the place for you, you'd better leave."
"Hey! Landlady, what do you mean? Why are you driving away my clients for no reason?" Bucktooth Jane couldn't stand it anymore.
The landlady ignored her and looked at Zhang Haoran meaningfully.
Zhang Haoran smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Auntie, I came here with no intention, don't worry.
Let me introduce myself. My name is Zhang Haoran, and I am a patrolman. I came here to see how the public security here is. If you need anything in the future, please tell me and I can help you. "
The landlady raised her eyebrows, and seeing Zhang Haoran being so kind and polite, her tone softened: "Oh, so that's how it is, I don't have anything here, as long as this group of people don't go out and cause trouble for me, everything will be fine.
I don't have anything to offer you, would you like to come to my house and have a seat?"
The landlady looked at Zhang Haoran and couldn't help but think of her long-dead son. If it weren't for that incident, he would have been as old as him. Thinking of this, a glimmer of hope appeared in her eyes.
"Okay, sorry to bother you then." Zhang Haoran did not refuse and wanted to take the opportunity to chat with them.
Then she nodded to the people around her and followed the landlady upstairs. As for the landlord, he had disappeared long ago.
When I entered the house, I found that he was already sitting at home and the tea was ready.
"Hey, little brother, you're here. Come and sit down and have a cup of tea." The landlord greeted him with a smile.
The landlady ignored him and sat opposite him: "Sit down, this is how it is at home, don't be disgusted."
"No, thank you both very much." Zhang Haoran said and sat down.
"Tell me, young man, what exactly are you doing here?" The landlady spat out the cigarette butt in her mouth and lit another one.
"It's nothing. I really just wanted to come and see. The world outside is in chaos, and you are all ordinary residents here. As for me, I also grew up in such an environment, and I hate to see ordinary people being bullied. So I thought of coming over to meet you, so that I can take care of someone if they come to cause trouble for you." Zhang Haoran said.
"Oh? We appreciate your kindness. Even if you are a patrolman, you are just an ordinary person. What's more, we know the character of your gang. It's good enough that you don't bully ordinary people. We can still expect your help!" said the landlady disdainfully.
"Hey, wife, you can't say that! After all, she is a public servant." The landlord was afraid of getting into trouble and wanted to stop her from complaining.
"Bang~!"
"What! Am I wrong? Collecting protection money from ordinary people is no different from those thugs outside. To me, they are just bandits in disguise." The landlady glared and slammed the table.
But then he thought of something else: "But little brother, you don't look like a bad guy. You look different from those people."
"Oh~ You really are such a jerk!" Seeing this, the landlord could only shake his head helplessly.
"Haha, it's okay. What Auntie said is absolutely right." Zhang Haoran said with a smile.
They both looked at him in surprise when they heard that.
"But that was before. Things are different now. Haven't you noticed that there are fewer people causing trouble around you recently?" Zhang Haoran said with a smile.
"Hey~ You know what, it's true. Wife, haven't you noticed that there haven't been any gangsters coming to make trouble in the past two days?" The landlord said.
The landlady nodded: "If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have noticed it. I haven't seen the policemen coming to collect protection fees from Ah Sheng and Ah Gui." Then she looked at Zhang Haoran.
Every bite brings back a memory, so sweet.
