He secretly rejoiced that he had let his grandson use the money to buy a house, otherwise where would he go now?
It didn't matter if he didn't read out the address; as soon as he did, Erliuzi stopped his bicycle.
Erliuzi exclaimed, "Holy crap, that's far! It'll take two or three hours to ride! My legs will be ruined!"
The key point is that he wasn't alone; he also had to carry Zhao Jingsong on his back.
Zhao Jingsong said, "This ring weighs over ten grams. You could sell it for at least 400 yuan. Did I wrong you by making you carry me for three hours?"
How much do you guys earn in a month? This is almost ten months' worth of your earnings! If you won't give me a ride, I'll find someone else to do it!
Anyway, it's only a little over 400 yuan, it doesn't matter who I ask, I don't believe I can't find someone else!
Erliuzi curled his lip. 400 yuan was indeed a big piece of meat. It would hurt him to give it away!
But if he were to ride for three hours, his legs would hurt. If he wanted to work hard, he wouldn't be without a job!
He's the kind of person who's greedy for small gains and opportunistic!
His little eyes darted around, and he said, "How about this, I'll carry you for a while, and you carry me for a while, so you can let me rest for a bit!"
Zhao Jingsong sneered and said, "You think I can carry you? With your big, burly build, do you think I can? If not, forget it, I'll find someone else right now!"
He looked around at the surroundings. They had already walked quite a distance, and there were still large areas of bungalows.
He left as soon as he finished speaking, and there were many more bungalows here than before!
Erliuzi hurriedly shouted, "Forget it, forget it, I'll carry you there. Don't bother two people at once. Who are you going to find in the middle of the night? Everyone else is asleep. I'm just unlucky to have run into you!"
I'm a kind-hearted person, and I always try to help those in need. Seeing that you, an old man, couldn't get home by yourself, I wanted to lend you a hand!
Zhao Jingsong said with a sneer, "Don't make it sound so nice! What do you mean by 'helping me out'?"
"You're only after my gold ring, aren't you? It's 999 pure gold!"
Erliuzi rolled his eyes; the old man was just as cunning as him.
He patted the back seat of the bicycle and said, "Get on, let's hurry up and go, it's still three hours away, I won't be able to sleep tonight! Oh my god!"
Zhao Jingsong sat on the back of the bicycle, humming a little tune. He felt more comfortable now.
However, once the tension subsided, he was so hungry he couldn't stand it!
He asked, "Is there anywhere to eat? Let's find a place to eat, it'll be my treat!"
Erliuzi said, "Where are we going to find a place to eat in the middle of the night?"
How could you not know there's nowhere to eat at this hour?!
Curious, he turned back to look at the old man again, and only then did he take a closer look at the old man's clothes.
The old man's clothes were different from theirs. Although he was also wearing a blue shirt, the material was completely different, and it looked better.
He glanced down at it, then sat on the old man's shoes; the style of these shoes wasn't from their area either.
In those days, the leather shoes produced by shoe factories were all very similar, and the leather shoes sold by cooperatives were only a few styles.
Erliuzi suddenly realized something, and the next moment, a cold smile appeared on his lips.
He pedaled his bicycle a little faster.
Three hours is indeed a long time, especially having to keep pedaling a bicycle.
Erliuzi was so exhausted he was almost vomiting blood before he finally took Zhao Jingsong to the place Zhao Jingsong wanted to go.
This area is also a large area of alleys. He led Zhao Jingsong to the courtyard with its own gate and courtyard.
Each bungalow has a house number on the outside; just find it by the house number.
Zhao Jingsong almost burst into tears as he looked at the courtyard gate. He had truly escaped death this time!
As agreed, he took off the gold ring from his little finger and handed it to Erliuzi, saying, "This is your wages!"
Erliuzi didn't take the ring. He said, "Giving me such a small ring? Are you trying to fob me off? I want the big ring next to you!"
Zhao Jingsong said, "That won't do. We agreed on this ring!"
Erliuzi said, "Old man, don't think I don't know where you're from. You're from abroad, aren't you?"
Look at your clothes and shoes, they're not from China! Do you believe I'll go to the police station right now and report you?
An old man sneaked in from abroad. What could he possibly be up to? He definitely doesn't want anything good!
Zhao Jingsong was startled by Erliuzi's words. Calling the police was not an option; if he did, his identity would be exposed.
He said through gritted teeth, "Who's from abroad? I'm not!"
Erliuzi said, "You're not? Fine! I'll go call the police right now!"
He was about to leave on his bicycle.
Actually, he's not going to call the police. If he does, who will he ask for his ring back?
Sure enough, he hadn't taken more than a couple of steps when he heard Zhao Jingsong call out behind him, "Brother! We can talk this over! You just want this ring, right? I can give it to you!"
Erliuzi was overjoyed. That big ring must have weighed at least 30 grams. He made more than 1,000 yuan that night!
That should be enough for a year's worth of food and drink!
Haha! He's so clever!
He pedaled his bicycle, turned around, and reached out to Zhao Jingsong for the ring.
Zhao Jingsong handed the ring to Erliuzi and said, "After I give you this, we'll go back to dust. Never see each other again!"
Erliuzi put the ring in his pocket and said, "Don't worry, old man! I'm off!"
He rode his bicycle to the pawnshop. He wasn't going to sleep that night; he would go straight to the pawnshop, pawn the ring, and take the money.
Use four hundred to buy a smaller ring, and then sell the stolen bicycle on the black market.
His meager savings! If you calculate it this way, he still has at least nine hundred yuan left!
He's made so much money all at once, he'll go gamble a couple more times later!
This is simply a heavenly life!
Zhao Jingsong didn't have a key, so he had to sneak over the wall and climb into the yard.
The yard was dark and empty, so he crept into the kitchen and found the rice container inside.
Fortunately, his grandson had stored rice in the rice bin just in case.
There was firewood and coal in the kitchen, as well as matches and a cabinet full of canned goods.
For many years, Zhao Jingsong had never cooked for himself, so this time he could only start a fire to cook.
He was so hungry his stomach was practically sticking to his back. You took a moment to cook some porridge, and he drank it all up, even before the porridge was fully cooked, and then he finished the canned food...
Du Jingshan stood outside the courtyard with his hands behind his back. He carefully examined the house number and was certain that the owner of the courtyard must be Zhao Jingsong's grandson!
Once it gets light, he'll go to the street and check who the house's owner is to find out who the big spy is!
He took out a pinhole camera and installed it on the gate of the yard. He also installed several more on the wall to monitor Zhao Jingsong's every move.
As for that scoundrel, he naturally wouldn't let him off easily. Judging from the direction the scoundrel was riding his bike, he was certain that the scoundrel wanted to pawn the ring!
He'll go to the police station to report the case soon and have Erliuzi arrested first!
