Chapter 607 Slums(1/2)
Riel is just an insignificant person in Jinsha, and he lives in a messy slum.
There are no high-rise buildings here, and there are no clean and tidy concrete roads. There are only dilapidated old-fashioned brick houses and bumpy gravel roads.
This is a slum belonging to the Jinsha District and a paradise for criminals.
Cheating and kidnapping are commonplace here, and fights are even more common.
However, although this place is chaotic, it also has its own order, as well as its streets and various small merchants and hawkers.
At this time, Riel was coming out of a barber shop. His shabby clothes had long been replaced by a decent black suit, and his hair was combed meticulously. He looked particularly energetic and was incompatible with the surrounding environment.
At this time, there happened to be a vendor nearby who happened to know Riel. He couldn't help but shouted with envy and jealousy: "Riel, you kid has made a fortune!"
"A little bit!" Riel responded proudly.
"Would you like to buy some meat?"
"Come on two pounds!"
"Would you like beef?"
"Come on two pounds!"
Riel wandered the streets proudly, and soon he had a lot of things in his hands.
He Fan gave him a total of 60,000 francs, and he only spent more than 10,000 francs on clothes. Now he has enough money, and there is no problem in adding some food to the family.
Soon, Ruil carried his things all the way back to the door of his house. He found a small house with an area of only thirty square meters. This was Ruil's home, where he had lived since he was a child.
And an old woman was sitting at the door playing with some clothes.
This was Riel's mother, who raised Riel and his sister by doing needlework.
"Mom!" Riel shouted happily and walked up quickly.
"Riel, what are you doing?" The old woman looked at her son in surprise. She really didn't expect Riel to wear a suit and tie.
"Mom, I found a job." Ruier happily shared the news with her mother.
The old woman's eyes lit up and she immediately asked: "What kind of job?"
Ruil was stunned immediately!
The other party didn't seem to say what kind of job it was, just that he would be given a salary of 10,000 francs a day.
However, thinking that the other party was not familiar with the environment here and wanted to find someone who was familiar with the environment here, Ruil immediately said hesitantly: "Tour guide!"
"Tour guide?" The old woman was a little confused. This was an unfamiliar profession to her.
After all, she has never been to school since she was a child and has been living in this slum all her life. Naturally, she is somewhat out of touch with the outside world.
"What kind of job is this?" the old woman asked doubtfully.
"He is responsible for taking tourists to eat and drink everywhere." Ruier said with a smile.
"So good?" the old woman asked with some doubts. After all, she had never heard of this kind of job.
"Don't worry about it. Go and cook first. My sister will be back later." Ruier smiled and handed the things he was carrying to the old woman's arms.
The old woman took a few bags, opened them and was stunned for a moment.
"So much meat?" the old woman said in surprise.
After all, meat is a very luxury item for their family, and they cannot eat it more than a few times a month.
Now that Riel has bought so much meat, it is estimated that the total amount of meat his family has produced in the past few months.
"Hehe!" Riel smiled proudly, took out another 20,000 francs from his pocket and handed it to his mother: "Keep these, we can buy some food for our family in the future."
"So much money?" The old woman looked at the francs in her hand in surprise and quickly counted them.
"I didn't use up the money my boss gave me to buy clothes," Ruil explained with a smile.
"This boss is so kind. He used money to buy you clothes before you even went to work." The old woman frowned and said, "Isn't he asking you to do something dangerous?"
"What are you thinking!" Ruier said with a smile: "It's just a job to take the boss around, there is no danger."
The old woman didn't believe it, but faced her son's affirmative smile, she said nothing more.
After all, it is not easy to get a job in a family like theirs, so there is no chance for them to be picky.
After thinking for a while, the old woman handed the money to Riel again and said, "You'd better keep this money! After all, you just started working, and maybe you still need to use it in some places."
"It's okay, just keep it. I still have some here." Ruil said and took out some bills from his pocket and gave them to his mother to cool before putting them back again.
When the old woman saw this, she didn't say anything. She immediately put away the 20,000 francs close to her body, and then went to the kitchen with those things.
It's said to be a kitchen, but it's actually just a small stove in the corner of the hall, using coal.
But Ruier had nothing to do, so he took off his suit and went to help.
Soon, four hot dishes were brought to the table, including fish and meat, which made Ruier swallow hard.
Unless it's an important day, this kind of sumptuous dinner is something you don't expect to see in their house all year round.
When the old woman saw Riel's greedy look, she immediately smiled and said, "You must be hungry, why don't you eat some first."
Riel held back and shook his head: "No, my sister will be back soon. We'd better wait for her to come back before we eat together."
The old woman nodded and went to clean the stove without saying anything more.
Soon the sky gradually became dark, and the kerosene lamp in Ruier's house was turned on.
By this time, the food on the table had already cooled down and had been put back into the pot to keep it warm.
Riel and the old woman sitting in the room also had worries on their faces.
"It's so late, why hasn't Dunya come back yet?" the old woman said worriedly.
After all, Dunya has never come back so late before, and the old woman is really worried now.
Riel couldn't sit still anymore, stood up and said, "I'll go take a look."
"Be careful!" the old woman said worriedly.
Riel nodded, and just as he was about to walk out the door, he suddenly thought of something.
He turned around and went back to the house to get something, and then walked straight out.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Riel's sister Dunya is only sixteen years old this year, but because she did not go to school, she went to work early.
She is currently working on a farm in the slums. Riel also knows the location and it took him ten minutes to find the farm.
It is said to be a farm, but it is just a large yard where chickens and ducks are raised. The scale is not large. The entire farm only has two workers and one boss. One of the workers is Riel's sister Dunya.
When Riel came to the farm, the farm owner was the only one there.
The farm owner is a middle-aged bald uncle and a cousin of Riel's mother.
"Riel!" the farm owner asked in confusion: "Why are you here?"
Riel looked a little anxious and said quickly: "I'm here to find Dunya."
"Dunya?" the farm owner said doubtfully: "Dunya has gone back just now, she should be home long ago!"
"Go back?" Riel was stunned and asked hurriedly: "How long have you been back?"
"It's been half an hour!" The farm owner frowned and said, "Go home and take a look!"
"I just came out to look for her at home." Ruier said with a pale face.
"Have you gone to find Mary? Why don't you go to Mary's house and ask?" the farm owner said.
The Mary mentioned by the farm owner is exactly the colleague of his younger sister Dunya, and Riel also knows her.
Now Riel can only hope that his sister goes to Mary's house.
"Uncle Bol, I'll leave first."
After saying hello to the farm owner, Riel hurried out and went straight to Mary's house.
Mary is also a resident of a slum, and her family situation is better than that of the Riel family, but not much better.
It is also a dilapidated brick house, with an area larger than Ruier's house, about fifty square meters.
At this time, there was a quarrel in the house. Riel, who had just arrived outside the house, could vaguely hear the other party mentioning his sister Dunya.
Riel looked happy and rushed into the house immediately.
However, when Riel rushed into the house, he found that his sister Dunya was not here, only Mary and his brother Ode were arguing loudly.
But when brother and sister Mary saw Riel running in, they immediately stopped arguing.
"Riel!"
Aude also knew Riel and said hello immediately, but he didn't dare to look at Riel at all.
And Mary looked at Riel with red eyes, unable to speak.
Seeing the expressions on the two people's faces, Riel was already very sure that these two people had met his sister, and they should also know where his sister had gone.
Thinking of this, Riel immediately rushed forward anxiously and grabbed Mary's arm and asked: "Mary, have you seen Dunya? Please tell me where she is!"
"I..." Mary looked up at Riel, and then at her brother Oded, with red eyes and a bit at a loss.
