garden.
After being harassed by his second sister's phone calls, Xu Mo had lost all desire to sleep.
He finished the food left over from last night and began planning for today.
"The lottery results will be announced tonight. If nothing unexpected happens, I should win 25 million. After deducting 20% tax, I'll actually get 20 million, which is enough for me to live a carefree life!"
"Once I have the money, the first thing I need to do is pay back the money I owe the hospital."
"Going back to the Xu family to repay the food and lodging expenses for these four years will probably only cost a few hundred yuan. From now on, I will no longer owe them anything!"
Xu Mo was planning for the future, but he didn't forget his current needs.
"I still don't have lunch or dinner today. It's not realistic for me to find a job or do part-time work at my age. If I want to start a small business, I don't have any start-up capital."
"Although I have a lot of things from my past life in my mind, and I learned investment, songwriting, painting, cosmetics sales, and legal skills in the Xu family, these things cannot help me quickly convert them into money due to limited connections."
"If you want to earn money to fill your stomach, there seems to be no better way than begging, asking for food, borrowing money, or picking up garbage."
“Picking up trash might be a good option, but the amount of trash in a place is limited, and most of the time the valuable trash cans have already been emptied by others, so the reward I can get is very limited.”
"The Xu family likes to harass me now. My eldest and second eldest sisters want me to return to the Xu family. They probably realized their own inadequacy and want to forcibly keep me at home. But how could I be so foolish as to continue contributing to the Xu family?"
"However, I will definitely avenge this humiliation. Now you are harassing me, but in the future, I will be harassing you. I hope you can still speak to me from a superior position then."
Xu Mo had already made up his mind that after receiving the 20 million yuan he won in the lottery, he would go to the opposite side, the left and right sides, or the back of the Xu family villa.
He has only one criterion for villas: no matter where they are, as long as he can be their neighbor, that's fine.
He wanted to show the Xu family that he could live a very good life even without them!
Xu Mo walked out of the park, saw a trash can, went up to it, lifted the lid, and, enduring the stench, reached inside to rummage through it.
An old man with a missing front tooth was walking by carrying a bag. He saw Xu Mo, and the two stared at each other.
It's like meeting a fellow traveler!
Xu Mo: "What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen someone picking up trash before?"
The old man said, "Young man, you're so young, why are you out picking up trash? Were you kicked out of your home?"
Xu Mo turned his head and continued rummaging through the trash: "None of your business?"
The old man said, "Don't worry, young man, I won't fight you for this little bit of trash. I heard there's a concert going on, but only if you're not afraid of losing face."
After finishing his sentence, the old man picked up his bag and left, seemingly assuming that Xu Mo was too shy to follow.
Xu Mo closed the lid of the trash can and chased after it.
The old man exclaimed in surprise, "Kid, you really followed us? There are lots of people there! Aren't you afraid of embarrassing yourself?"
Embarrassing?
He grew up in an orphanage, so he's shameless and wouldn't be afraid of losing face.
Compared to picking up trash, trying to please the five older sisters and parents in the Xu family is far more shameful!
He treated his whole family as family, giving selflessly without expecting anything in return, but his family treated him like a fool, which led to the end where his corneas, liver, and kidneys were removed... Even on his deathbed, he still longed for his parents and sisters to come and see him one last time.
Pooh!
How despicable!
Xu Mo's lips curled up: "Old man, there is no difference between picking up trash and working in a factory. They are both jobs. In a factory, you will definitely have to put up with the boss's temper and have to scheme against the people around you. If you pick up trash, at most you will be pointed at and gossiped about, but you will never be scolded by the boss."
The old man gave a thumbs up: "Young man, you have a high level of moral awareness!"
Xu Mo jokingly said, "Grandpa, you're over 70 or 80 and still picking up trash. I started picking up trash when I was just 10, so I avoided 50 years of detours."
The old man chuckled: "Young man, you're just my type. If you stick with me, you'll have your money for a hair wash tonight."
The two arrived at the concert venue.
Because of the concert, there are quite a few trash cans here.
The old man took out half a pack of Huazi cigarettes and handed it to the security guard: "The one behind him is my grandson."
Xu Mo: "..."
The security guard glanced at him and let him through.
Xu Mo followed the old man into the concert venue, took out a trash bag, and began rummaging through the trash cans for plastic bottles, aluminum cans, and even vibrators...
Xu Mo would flatten anything that could be sold, pick it up, and put it in a nylon bag.
The old man felt ashamed of himself upon seeing this, as the young man's movements were so skillful that it didn't seem like it was his first time.
That is indeed the case.
When Xu Mo was in the orphanage, he would go out to collect garbage to sell in order to open a small restaurant and then exchange it for snacks.
After returning to the Xu family, it was common for him to go hungry for three days and nine meals a day, eventually developing a physique that could withstand hunger even better than that of Uncle De.
The elderly man and the young boy were seen collecting broken bottles, but people chose to ignore it.
...
The concert concluded successfully.
The fans left the scene one after another.
Xu Mo, the old man, squatted down to the side with a garbage bag in his hand.
When most of the people had left, the two continued to rummage through the trash cans.
To avoid causing a commotion, Xu Ruyan and Su Lan'er also left at this time.
After noticing Xu Mo's back, Su Lan'er said, "Ru Yan, that guy looks just like your good-for-nothing younger brother!"
Xu Ruyan asked in surprise, "Which one?"
Su Lan'er pointed in a direction: "Look."
Xu Ruyan looked in the direction she was pointing, and her mind immediately exploded. It wasn't just similar; it was clearly her younger brother!
"What does Xu Mo want by appearing here at this time?"
Su Lan'er asked with a doubtful look, "Is he really your brother?"
Xu Ruyan's face turned ashen: "Nonsense!"
"Could it be that he wants to get revenge on me and let the public know about my relationship with him?"
"No, I will not allow this to happen!"
Seeing that there were still some people watching, Xu Ruyan quickly returned to the backstage of the concert and turned to Su Lan'er.
"You clean up the trash he picked up and then bring it backstage to see me!"
"oh."
Su Lan'er nodded in agreement. She felt that Xu Mo, being from the Xu family, should be quite wealthy. In order to get revenge on Ru Yan, he actually chose to use such a despicable method to smear his second sister, who was about to become a singing queen.
Once the public learns about their sibling relationship, or if the footage is filmed online, rumors could easily spread that "Singer Hsu Ju-yen is abusing her brother."
Whether the story is true or not is not important.
The important thing is that many of her peers want Xu Ruyan to fall, and this matter will definitely be widely reported.
Su Lan'er walked forward in her high heels and snatched the trash bag from Xu Mo's hand.
"Hey, you surnamed Xu, what exactly do you want!"
“Su Lan’er.” Xu Mo frowned.
