The soft white moonlight of the paranoid gangster at 80

Chapter 19

Although Jiang Chen seems to have fallen asleep with his eyes closed, his mind is like a clock that has been wound up, worrying about livelihood issues non-stop.

He is now working as a temporary worker in a cremation factory, collecting corpses everywhere at night, and earning two yuan a day. Although his income is not high, he can support his family of three at least.

But the job was precarious, and once the crematorium was filled, he was out of a job.

While he was worrying, he suddenly heard his sister say that he was going to drop out of school, and his temper suddenly came up, and he suddenly opened the curtain and stared at her.

"Don't let labor and management go crazy, what do you think if you don't study?"

Not to be outdone, Jiang Yao stared back, "I can't even afford to eat, why do I still study, I'll just work part-time with you!"

Jiang Chen pointed at Jiang Yao, with a gloomy face, "If you are asked to study, you will read it well for the labor and management. Money is not your turn to worry about. If the labor and management hear you say that you don't want to study, they will give you a leg." break!"

Jiang Yao scratched her neck, "What are you doing? You broke my leg and I lay down on the bed too. You serve me like your mother, and I enjoy it!"

Jiang Chen slammed the curtain over Jiang Yao's head and fell onto the bed.

The heavy breathing, and the air-conditioning that was blowing out from all over his body, were enough to represent how bad his mood was at the moment.

Seeing that Jiang Chen was angry, Jiang Yao was also a little annoyed. She didn't really want to study, she just wanted to help reduce the burden on the family.

After sitting silently for a while, Jiang Yao got up and walked out lightly.

She is going to pick up garbage, and if she is lucky, she can earn thirty to fifty cents a day.

As soon as the door was closed, Jiang Chen on the bed opened his eyes, staring at the gray roof with a gloomy expression.

Food needs money, my sister needs money to study, and my mother needs money for medicine, rent...

The expenses of each item were like countless heavy boulders pressing on his thin body, making him breathless.

He regretted it.

100 yuan is enough to relieve most of his financial pressure.

He shouldn't have paid it back, no matter if her head was caught by the door, and next time, he will never pay it back!

You can't pay it back even if you die!
Because of the loss of 100 yuan, Ruan Qingqing was bored at home for a whole day, and she didn’t even have an appetite for lunch. After returning home at night, Ruan Haihai took it as a joke and told it. Ruan Qingqing’s depression was simply super. Doubling, he secretly scolded Jiang Chen in his heart again.

"Ah! Ahh!"

Seeing Jiang Chen sneezed twice in a row, Zhang Chunxi laughed at him, "Is that little girl thinking about you again?"

Jiang Chen ignored him, raised his hand and rubbed his nose with the rolled edge of his glove, his dark eyes were fixed on the body bag that had just been carried into the car.

Zhang Chunxi looked at him, "I R your eyes are so terrifying, it's as if you want to eat someone."

Jiang Chen still ignored him, but reached out and pulled the body bag away.

Seeing the dead face exposed in the body bag, Zhang Chunxi quickly turned his head to one side.

Although the two of them had carried many corpses, they were all packed in body bags, and they didn't feel scared if they couldn't see them, but they still felt horrifying when they really saw them.

The deceased in the bag was an old woman about 70 years old, with skin like old bark hanging on her face, wearing a decent summer dress with a corduroy jacket over it.

The coats are nearly [-]% new and can be sold for some money.

Jiang Chen reached out to unbutton the old man's coat, but Zhang Chunxi held his hand in fright.

"I R, what are you going to do? An old woman, it's getting cold, do you want to be so hungry..."

"Climb for me!"

Jiang Chen scolded him and continued to unbutton the old man's coat.

Zhang Chunxi joked, but silently helped.

The two quickly took off the corduroy jacket on the old man, and then put the old man's body back into the body bag in a proper manner.

Jiang Chen took out the prepared sack, folded his coat and put it in, and then hid the sack.

After doing all this, both of them slumped on the stool like a collapse, panting.

It wasn't that they were tired, but nervous. The two of them carried a lot of dead people, and it was the first time they picked things from dead people.

Zhang Chunxi stared at Jiang Chen and smiled, "Your son startled labor and management, thinking you were going to do something bad."

After laughing, he cursed again, "You son of a bitch is so wicked, you even take things from dead people."

Jiang Chen stared at him coldly and didn't say a word, but from the heavy breathing, it could be seen that he was not in a calm mood.

After scolding, Zhang Chunxi showed excitement again, "How much money can this dress be sold for? Let's talk about it first, half for each person."

Jiang Chen hurt him, "Aren't you afraid of being wicked?"

"I'm afraid of beating my son, but money is more fragrant."

After work was over at dawn, Jiang Chen and Zhang Chunxi took the sack to find a waste collector, bargained a lot, and finally sold the jacket for five yuan.

Jiang Chen handed two yuan and five to Zhang Chunxi, but Zhang Chunxi waved his hand, "Forget it, you can use it first, I still have some."

Jiang Chen hesitated, and stuffed the bills one by one into Zhang Chunxi's trouser pocket, and put the rest in his trouser pocket.

"When I borrowed it, I will pay you back in a few days."

Zhang Chunxi's face was about to die of laughter. Although the money was not much, it was picked for nothing after all.

"Let's go, take the wages today, go to eat a good meal, I'll treat you."

Jiang Chen refused, and turned around to go to an old medical clinic he usually goes to.

Lin Ronghua was paralyzed at a high position due to a spinal fracture, and needed to take medicines for nourishing the nerves and painkillers on a regular basis.

Seeing Jiang Chen, the doctor and boss directly brought him two bottles of medicine he needed.

Including the wages I just received, I have a total of ten yuan in my pocket. After buying two bottles of medicine, I have no money to buy rice.

"Can you get half a bottle first, and I'll pick up the remaining half bottle in a few days."

The boss was a little unhappy, but considering that Jiang Chen was a regular customer, he didn't refuse. He opened the medicine bottle with a cold face, counted half of each bottle, and wrapped it in white paper.

After buying the medicine, Jiang Chen went to buy another ten catties of rice, some vegetables, and finally bought eggs for the remaining one and twenty cents.

Lin Ronghua's health was so poor that he couldn't afford meat, so he could only use eggs to supplement Lin Ronghua's nutrition.

After solving the urgent need, Jiang Chen was visibly relieved on the way home.

Ruan Qingqing was in a terrible mood, she lost a hundred pocket money in vain, and she was depressed all night, and was blocked by a scumbag early in the morning.

"Gently, it's not good for your health to be bored at home like this every day. You should go out more and take a walk to relax."

Zhang Heng looks handsome, with a clean and refined bookish air, tall and thin, with good grades, and is the crush of many girls in the class.

For three years in high school, Zhang Heng has always been very special to her. He invited her to the library alone on weekends, gave her various small gifts and greeting cards on festivals and birthdays, and called her to care for her when she was sick.

Ruan Weiwei used to think that this was love.

After experiencing the betrayal in the previous life and seeing the scumbag face of the other party clearly, now she only feels disgusted when she sees Zhang Heng's face.

However, she did not refuse Zhang Heng's proposal.

After escaping for so long, it's time to make a quick cut.

After sending Zhang Heng to wait downstairs in the unit, Ruan Qingqing went back to the room, put on his backpack, and carried the cardboard box containing Zhang Heng's items to prepare to go downstairs.

As soon as the door was locked, I heard some familiar footsteps coming from the entrance of the corridor.

Ruan turned his head slightly and met Jiang Chen's eyes.

Thinking of what happened yesterday, her face became hot, and she pretended to be nonchalant, hugging the cardboard box and hurriedly ran downstairs across Jiang Chen. She didn't know that the red tips of her ears clearly showed her guilty conscience.

Xu was in a good mood, Jiang Chen leaned forward to look downstairs with great interest, and saw Ruan Qingqing said something to a tall, thin and fair boy, the boy took the cardboard box in her hand, and the two walked out side by side unit building.

Jiang Chen withdrew his gaze expressionlessly and went upstairs to go home.

"Gently, what's in your cardboard box is so heavy that my hands are sore."

Hearing Zhang Heng's complaint, Ruan Qingqing said calmly, "Find a place to sit down, I have something to tell you."

Zhang Heng looked around and pointed to the coffee shop in front of him.

"Let's go get coffee, shall we?"

Ruan Qingwei was noncommittal.

After sitting down, Zhang Heng generously ordered a cup of coffee for himself and Ruan Qingqing, and ordered some snacks.

With Zhang Heng's financial ability, he could not reach this level of consumption. He subconsciously thought that Ruan Qingqing would rush to pay the bill as before, so he was not polite at all.
