Chapter 49 I gave you the money, have you forgotten?
In her previous life, she escaped from the clutches of the landlord's son and fled to Central Garden.
He worked like a slave in the Cheng family and only then did he find a place to stay.
But even so, after the flood receded, the government established a safe base, including the Central Garden.
The Cheng family used this as an excuse to drive her out.
With nowhere to go, Xu Sichen could only live in the shantytown with those homeless people.
Although it is a safe base, it has a series of rules such as no robbery and no fighting, and violators will be expelled from the safe base.
But rules are rules, and their implementation requires a lot of manpower and material resources.
Therefore, the entire foundation appears calm on the surface, but fraud, deception, malicious robbery and infringement continue to occur in secret.
Many elderly people and children cannot find food, and if they finally get it, it will be snatched away by others. In the end, they starve to death because of lack of food.
Xu Sichen's situation was not much different from theirs.
When I was at the Cheng family, I did the most work and ate the least food.
By the time I was kicked out, I was starving.
He is 1.65 meters tall and weighs only 70 kilograms.
In addition, she was a woman living alone, and as soon as she moved into the shantytown, she was coveted by men with bad intentions.
In the middle of the night, when she was so hungry that she could not bear it anymore and curled up in the tent, an old man in his fifties or sixties sneaked in and was castrated with the dagger she hid on her body.
She still remembers how shrill his screams were, echoing throughout the base at night.
Base patrol came and took the bloody man away.
Although Xu Sichen acted in self-defense, he did not receive any punishment.
But she was so hungry that she almost lost half her life when she resisted the old man.
At daybreak, she almost crawled out of the tent, trying to find something to eat.
But as soon as he got out of the tent, he fell headfirst.
She looked up at the scorching sun above her head and wondered if she was about to die.
It’s better to die, because death will allow you to leave this hellish world.
Just as her consciousness began to fade, someone placed a bottle of water and a piece of bread in her hands.
Xu Sichen tried hard to open his eyes to see the other person's appearance clearly. It was a young boy's face.
Just like the Wei Mingliang in front of him, but compared with the face in his previous life, his face has more sunshine and vitality, and less despair and vicissitudes.
This was the first time Xu Sichen showed a sincere and bright smile to someone after his rebirth, which stunned everyone present.
Especially Qian Li, since they met, Xu Sichen has always been cold and difficult to talk to.
Unexpectedly——
Qian Li saw Wu Dawei next to her with a lustful look in his eyes, and she was so angry that she threw the things she bought at him.
"What are you looking at? Why don't you move your things upstairs?"
As he spoke, he glared at Xu Sichen fiercely.
Humph, vixen!
Xu Sichen was immersed in the memories of his past life and didn't see it.
"Xiao Xu, Xiao Xu!" Sun Caifeng called out several times in a row, and finally brought Xu Sichen, who was a little dazed, back to his senses.
"Aunt Sun, what's wrong?" Wei Mingliang called her sister, so she naturally had to change her words.
And she was indeed only a few years older than Wei Mingliang.
Sun Caifeng: "Put your things with us and we'll help you move them up. I have a big family anyway."
"Okay, thank you Aunt Sun." Xu Sichen did not refuse.
"Yes, yes, Xiao Xu, you are just a little girl, it is not easy to carry so many things. Xiao Liang, go up and help your sister Xu carry the things up." Wei Tianxiang agreed, with a big round face that looked silly.
Several people worked together to start moving things and packing up the kayak.
Just when they finished packing and were about to leave online, Qian Li suddenly called her.
"Hey, Xiao Xu, don't leave yet. You haven't given me my bird's nest yet."
Upon hearing this, Xu Sichen actually took out five boxes of bird's nests from his bag.
Qian Li happily reached out to take it, but it was dodged.
"Xiao Xu, what do you mean?"
Xu Sichen took out the receipt from his pocket and pointed to the bird's nest section. "It's 75,615 in total. Cash on delivery."
Qian Li's smile froze for a moment, and then she asked with a puzzled look, "What money? Didn't I already give it to you at the supermarket? It was 80,000 yuan."
Xu Sichen said with a forced smile, "Oh, is there? When?"
"Of course I did. I gave you the money when I asked you to buy it. How can you be so dishonest at such a young age? Are you trying to charge me twice as much?"
Qian Li's voice became louder and louder, soon attracting the attention of people around her.
Seeing this, she became even more excited and shouted at the onlookers, "Auntie Chen, Grandma Jin, you have to give me some justice. I asked this girl to buy a few boxes of bird's nests and gave her the money long ago. Now she's accusing me of not paying her. Isn't this extortion?"
"Xiao Xu, if you're having financial difficulties, just tell us directly. We're neighbors, and we'll help you out a little. My bird's nest is over 70,000 yuan, and I didn't even plan to ask you for the extra money. But you're using such shameless tactics, and I'm going to be furious."
Aunt Chen and Grandma Jin, who were mentioned by Qian Li, are her best friends in the community.
After hearing Qian Li's confusing right and wrong, she immediately started to accuse Xu Sichen without any reason.
"At such a young age, he doesn't learn well. He has hands and feet, so he doesn't do anything wrong. He likes to do things that cheat and deceive people."
"Little girl, you'd better return the things to Xiao Qian quickly. I heard that if you cheat people out of a certain amount of money, you will go to jail."
Seeing this, Sun Caifeng quickly defended Xu Sichen and said, "Aunt Chen, Grandma Jin, you misunderstood. Xiao Xu is not that kind of person. Qian Li, think about it, is there any misunderstanding?"
"What misunderstanding is there? I handed the money to her myself, how could it be wrong?" Qian Li was dissatisfied with Sun Caifeng's defense of Xu Sichen and sarcastically said, "Sister Sun, you've only known her for a short time, and you're saying she's not that kind of person. Don't forget, she even took the few hundred yuan for the boat ride. I guess she's crazy because of poverty. My bird's nest is worth tens of thousands."
"You don't think you're speaking up for her because you're attracted to her kayak, do you?"
Xu Sichen sneered: "Sister Qian, you don't even want to pay the few hundred yuan for the boat fare. Aren't you even more crazy because you're poor?"
"You silly girl, what are you talking about? My family has so much money that we can't spend it all. How can I owe you a few hundred dollars?" Wu Dawei, who always had a good face, scolded angrily, with a vicious look in his eyes that he did not hide at all.
Xu Sichen was not afraid of him: "Then give me the money!"
Wu Dawei took out his cell phone and was about to transfer money to her.
Xu Sichen: "I want cash!"
Wu Dawei gritted his teeth and said, "You silly girl, don't push your luck. Who still uses cash these days? Do you still want it?"
