Liu Xiangyang was greatly disappointed. He originally wanted to borrow it based on Fang Chen's relationship, but he didn't expect it to be a bad one.

"Didn't you go to Pengcheng? Why are you back?" Fang Heguang asked.

"I can't survive anymore. The place in Pengcheng is too expensive, and there are a lot of thieves! I brought a total of 200 yuan, and it cost 50 yuan to have someone drill through the barbed wire fence. With the remaining money, I ate two

The meal only cost me five yuan, and the Datong shop cost me two yuan a night. I also let thieves steal more than seventy yuan. If I hadn't hidden fifty yuan in the soles of my shoes, I wouldn't even have paid for my trip back.

No."

"I went there and picked up so much rubbish," Wu Maocai complained.

"What about these three people?" Fang Heguang pointed to Wu Maocai's three younger brothers.

"These are all fellow villagers I met in Pengcheng. They couldn't survive and came back with me." Wu Maocai answered honestly.

Fang Heguang shook his head helplessly, "Okay, come with me."

Wu Maocai was shocked, and the wrinkles on his forehead were instantly smoothed out, "Third Master, you can't be so cruel, you really want to lock me in."

With that said, Wu Maocai turned to Fang Chen and wailed: "Master Jiu, please say something nice to me. I was really careless and blackmailed you out of fear. But you and I didn't hurt you at all.

You poked me in the waist."

As he spoke, Wu Maocai actually lifted up his short T-shirt, revealing a bruise.

"You must have obtained the true inheritance from the fourth wife's grandfather. You are so ruthless!"

"Please forgive me if you can, sir. I will come back to apologize to you."

Wu Maocai was really anxious. Being imprisoned was not a big deal to him, but asking the third master to imprison him was not a good idea. It would be a shame, it would be too embarrassing.

You can hang out on the street without money, but you can’t lose your noodles!

Fang Chen sighed helplessly and looked at Fang Heguang. He really didn't want to touch this troublesome thing at all. It was disgusting no matter what he did. Why did he have such a relative?

"Okay, stop yelling, and I won't lock you up too much. I'll lock you up for three days so that you can remember it for a long time." Fang Heguang said, and then asked: "How is it, Xiaojiu."

Fang Chen waved his hand, "I have no objection. Third brother, you can do whatever you want."

"Third Master, if you see that Ninth Master is not angry anymore, just let me go. I won't dare to do it again next time."

After listening to Fang Chen's words, Wu Maocai hurriedly shouted as if he had received an imperial edict and had support.

"One more thing, I'll lock you up for fifteen days. You've been doing nothing but messing around every day. I'm telling you, if you don't take the right path, I'll hand you over to your grandpa to see if your grandpa will interrupt.

Your legs!" Fang Heguang said angrily.

When Wu Maocai heard the words "grandfather", he was like an eggplant beaten by frost. He immediately lowered his head and became silent. Who knew his grandfather's temper? Not to mention what would happen if Fang Heguang told his grandfather about his affairs.

Just letting grandpa know that he actually blackmailed Master Jiu, I'm afraid his legs will be broken.

In my grandfather's words, he was able to live such a long life only because of the help of his fourth wife and grandfather. Otherwise, how could he, a blind old man, have brought up a little baby?

After a few more pleasantries, Fang Chen, Liu Xiangyang, and Li Qiming took their leave.

"Butou, what are we going to do next?" Liu Xiangyang asked.

"What are you doing? What else can you do? Let's go back and set up a stall." Fang Chen said helplessly.

It was really terrible when he came out this time. Originally, he was planning to let Fang Heguang punish Wu Maocai severely, but he found out that this was actually the grandson of the blind man, and he was actually a relative of him.

The blind man is very kind to me. He gives me maltose every time he goes there. He is also very good at playing the erhu. When he was a child, he didn’t even understand shit. The blind man can’t stop crying when he pulls the two springs to reflect the moon.

It's dripping down, but the room is a bit dark, not even a light is on.

Liu Xiangyang's eyes suddenly lit up and he said hurriedly: "Then let's go. If you walk a little bit, you can set up a stall for half a day and earn three to four hundred yuan."

"Okay, walk slowly, it won't be too late."

Fang Chen waved his hand. His liver hurt because of this bad thing. He was not as angry as Liu Xiangyang. He just wanted to find a place to lay his body out.

This rebirth, rebirth is really terrible. Even if you make even a little money, you will encounter such a mess.

"It seems that you may not be able to make money by going to Pengcheng." Li Qiming suddenly said sadly.

Fang Chen smiled and said, "It's so easy to make money."

It is true that there are more opportunities to make money in Pengcheng at this time, but it is just more, and only a few will make a fortune.

There are countless people like Wu Maocai who went in with enthusiasm and came out empty.

Moreover, the evil side of capitalism experienced in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries is also happening on this land.

It’s not for nothing that farmers are suffering and tired.

There are many female workers in textile factories in the Special Administrative Region. They have to work in a cramped, dark, and humid working environment for more than twelve hours continuously every day, and they cannot eat well. It is normal for ten or twenty people to be crowded into one room, and

Many, or even most, factories have the problem of wage arrears, and some companies don't even pay wages.

Even so, the recruitment requirements of these companies dared to require that they should be over 1.65 meters tall, have good facial features, and have a junior high school education or above. In that era, the draft was no more than that.

The employment of child labor is also extremely normal.

But it still can't stop people from rushing to coastal cities. There is no way, there is no salary in coastal cities, but at least they can have a bowl of food to eat, have hope, and work at home farming, really their whole life is over.

Besides going to college, this is the second and most practical way.

If you were not a person at that time, it would be difficult to imagine the desire of people at that time to escape from farming, become a working class, and eat commercial food.

Relatives and friends who had traveled to the southern coastal cities instantly became their favorites, and countless parents and wives entrusted their children and husbands to them.

Those who can go openly will do so, and those who cannot, go secretly. The letter-of-introduction system that once controlled people's migration has slowly become a waste of paper.

Going south became the common wish of the people at this time, and their desire for wealth and changing their destiny turned into waves of shocking roars.

However, with the collapse of the population migration system that relied on letters of introduction, the tragedy of abducting and selling women and children came to the stage one after another. Blind Mountain and Blind Well are typical examples that appeared during this period.

Fang Chen doesn't know when this tragedy will come to an end, perhaps only after the poverty problem is solved and people's minds are liberated.
