Chapter 607 Slums(1/2)

Riel is just a trivial little man in the Sands, and his place to live is also a messy slum.

There are no high-rise buildings, no clean and tidy cement roads, only dilapidated old brick houses and potholes of sand and gravel roads.

This is a slum belonging to the Jinsha District and a paradise for criminals.

It is common to cheat here, and fighting is even more common.

However, although this place is chaotic, there are also orders that belong to it, and there are also streets and various small vendors.

At this time, Riel was coming out of a barber shop. His worn clothes had long been replaced with a decent black suit. His hair was combed meticulously, looking particularly energetic, and was incompatible with the surrounding environment.

At this time, a vendor happened to know Riel, and he couldn't help but shouted enviously and jealously: "Riel, you are rich!"

"A little bit!" Riel responded proudly.

"So do you want to buy some meat?"

"Two pounds!"

"Do you want beef?"

"Two pounds!"

Riel wandered on the street with a pride, and within a short while, he held a lot of things in his hand.

He Fan gave him a total of 60,000 francs, and he only spent more than 10,000 yuan to buy clothes. Now he has enough money, so it is still okay to add food to his family.

Soon Riel returned to the door of his house with his things all the way, a small house with an area of ​​only 30 square meters. This is Riel's home, where he lived since childhood.

An old woman was sitting at the door fiddling with some clothes.

This is exactly what Ryer's mother relied on needlework to pull Ryer and his sister.

"Mom!" Riel shouted happily, and walked up quickly.

"Ryel, are you?" The old woman looked at her son in surprise. She really didn't expect that Ryel would wear a suit and tie.

"Mom, I found a job." Riel happily shared the news with his mother.

The old woman's eyes lit up and she immediately asked, "What job?"

Ryer was stunned!

The other party seemed to have not said what kind of job it was, but just said he would pay him ten thousand francs a day.

However, thinking of the other party saying that he was not familiar with the environment here and wanted to find someone who was familiar with the environment here, Riel hesitated and said: "Tour guide!"

"Tour guide?" The old woman was a little confused. This was an unfamiliar profession for her.

After all, she had never been to school since she was a child and had been living in this slum all her life, so she was naturally a little out of touch with the outside world.

"What is this job?" the old woman asked in confusion.

"It's the responsibility of taking tourists to eat and drink everywhere." Riel said with a smile.

"So good?" the old woman asked in confusion. After all, she had never heard of such a job.

"Don't worry, go and cook first, my sister is coming back later." Riel smiled and handed the things in his hand to the old woman's arms.

The old woman took a few bags and opened them and was stunned.

"So much meat?" the old woman said in surprise.

After all, meat is a luxury for their family and can't be eaten several times a month.

Now that Riel has bought so much meat, it is probably the total amount of their family’s previous few months.

"Hehe!" Riel smiled proudly, then took out 20,000 francs from his pocket and handed them to his mother: "You can keep these, and we can buy some food in the future."

"So much money?" The old woman looked at the franc in surprise and counted it.

"I haven't used up the money for buying clothes by the boss." Riel explained with a smile.

"This boss is so good. I'll give you money to buy clothes before I even go to work." The old woman frowned and said, "It's not that you want you to do something dangerous!"

"What do you think!" Riel said with a smile: "It's just a job that takes the boss around to play, so there is no danger."

The old woman was a little unbelievable, but when she faced her son's affirmative smile, she didn't say anything else.

After all, living in a family like theirs, it is not easy to have a job, 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 should keep this money! After all, you have just worked, and you may need some places to use it."

"It's okay, just keep it safe. I have some here." Riel said, taking out some money from his pocket for his mother to cold, and then put it back.

Seeing this, the old woman didn't say anything again. She immediately put 20,000 francs in close proximity, and then went to the kitchen with the things.

It is called a kitchen, but it is actually just a small stove in the corner of the hall, and it uses coal.

When Riel was idle, he took off his suit and started to help.

Soon, four hot hard dishes were served on the dining table, with fish and meat, which made Riel swallow hard.

This kind of sumptuous dinner is never expected to be seen in their house for the whole year unless it is an important day.

When the old woman saw Riel's greedy look, she immediately smiled and said, "You're hungry, why don't you eat some first."

Riel resisted the shaking of his head: "No need, my sister is coming back, so I'll have to wait for her to come back before eating together."

The old woman nodded and said nothing more, then went to clean up the stove.

Soon the sky gradually became darker, and the kerosene lamp at Riel's home was turned on.

At this time, the food on the table had already been completely cold and had been put back in the pot to keep it warm.

Riel and the old woman were sitting in the room, and there was also concern on their faces.

"It's so late, why haven't Dunya come back yet?" the old woman said with some concern.

After all, Dunya has never come back so late, and the old woman is really worried.

Riel couldn't sit still anymore, stood up and said, "I'll go and have a look."

"Be careful!" the old woman said worriedly.

Riel nodded, and when he was about to walk out of the door, he suddenly thought of something.

He turned around and went back to the room to get something, then walked straight out.

Riel's sister Dunya is only sixteen years old this year, but because she didn't go to school, she came out to work early.

She is currently working in a slum farm, and Riel also knows the place and takes ten minutes to find the farm.

It is said that it is a farm, but it is just a large yard for raising chickens and ducks. It is not very large in scale. There are only two workers and one boss in the entire farm, one of which is Riel's sister Dunya.

When Riel came to the farm, there was only the farm owner.

The farm owner is a middle-aged bald uncle and a cousin of Riel's mother.

"Ryel!" the farm owner asked in confusion: "Why are you here?"

Riel looked a little anxious and said quickly: "I'll come to Dunya."

Guluo

"Dunia?" said the farm owner in confusion: "Dunia has already returned just now, so she should have arrived home long ago!"

"Go back?" Riel was stunned and asked hurriedly: "How long have you been back?"

"It's been half an hour!" said the farm owner frowned and said, "You go home and see!"

"I came out of my house just now to find her." Riel said with a pale face.

"Are you going to find Mary? Why don't you go to Mary's house to ask?" said the farm owner.

The farm owner mentioned that Mary was the colleague of his sister Dunya, and Riel also knew her.

Riel can only hope that his sister will go to Mary's house now.

"Uncle Boer, then I'll leave first."

After saying hello to the farm owner, Riel hurriedly ran out and headed straight for Mary's house.

Mary is also a slum-living resident, and her family is better than the Riels's family, but not much better.

It is also a dilapidated brick house with an area larger than that of the Ruier family, about fifty square meters.

At this time, a quarrel was heard in the room. Riel, who had just arrived outside the room, could vaguely hear the other party mentioning his sister Dunya.

Riel looked happy and rushed into the room immediately.

However, when Riel rushed into the room, he found that his sister Dunya was not here, only Mary and his brother Od were arguing loudly.

But when the Mary brothers and sisters saw Riel running in, they immediately stopped arguing.

"Ryel!"

Odd also knew Ryer and immediately said hello, but he didn't dare to look at Ryer with that look.

Mary looked at Riel with red eyes, wanting to speak but stopping.

Seeing the expressions of the two, Riel was already very sure that these two people had seen their sister, and they should also know where their sister went.

Thinking of this, Riel immediately rushed up anxiously and grabbed Mary's arm and asked, "Mary, have you seen Dunya? Tell me where she is!"
