Chapter 75: Chapter 75. What a stinky beggar
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
I was a little curious. I turned around and saw a man holding a wooden stick next to the snack cart. His hair was disheveled and his clothes were old and dirty. He was standing in front of the snack cart with a straight face, trying his best to inhale the fragrance.
I have to admit that he did look like a beggar.
“Get lost! Do You Hear Me? Get lost! or I’ll really beat you up!”The boss held a shovel and waved it angrily. “I let you cheat me yesterday. I didn’t beat you up well, did I? Get lost!”
“Hehe, I’m tough. If you want to beat me up, just beat me up again. But, that dumpling, put it in a pot for me,”the beggar said with a smile.
When the boss beat him up, he would shrink back a little. When the boss put away the shovel, he would come over again, but he wouldn’t move far away.
I couldn’t help but frown.
There was a sour smell. It floated over… needless to say, it must be from that beggar!
The key point was that I was only a few steps away from him. If he didn’t leave, I wouldn’t be able to eat him even if he smelled like this!
The people around me seemed to have the same thoughts as me. They all stopped, and many of them even covered their noses.
“It stinks. How can I Eat Like This!”
“That’s right, boss. Just give him a bowl and tell him to leave quickly!”
“That’s easy for you to say. If you pay, I’ll buy him a bowl!”The boss was not happy.
“Sure, it’s just a few dollars!”Someone answered immediately.
“AH, thank you, thank you, thank you so much. Boss, please buy me 50 Dumplings!”The beggar immediately shouted.
“F * ck, you ate so much by yourself?”
“I haven’t eaten anything for a day… also, get me 10 tea eggs and put them all on that person’s account!”
“F * ck! You’re taking an inch and taking a mile! Boss, don’t buy any more. I Can’t afford to treat you!”The person in front of me who responded was unhappy.
I couldn’t help but feel like laughing.
These dumplings weren’t small in size. My appetite was considered large, so I estimated that I would be able to eat twenty of them. That beggar didn’t seem to have a large appetite either. Ten dumplings should be enough.
But he was actually greedy. He wanted so many dumplings in one go, so I couldn’t blame him for being unwilling to part with them. Fifty dumplings and ten tea eggs would cost at least a few dozen yuan. It wasn’t a small amount.
But looking at that Beggar’s pitiful appearance, I suddenly thought of my parents back home.
My family had always been poor, but I still remembered that when I was young, if my parents saw beggars on the road, they would always buy a steamed bun or bun or something.
Of course, the beggars back home were different from those in the city. They were real beggars, and those in the city who lied were different.
But at this moment, I still remembered what my parents taught me. They said that a few dollars couldn’t buy you a loss, but you could still accumulate good deeds.
I didn’t believe in accumulating good deeds, but when I thought of my parents, I couldn’t help but feel sad. I couldn’t help but shout, “Boss, give it to him. I’ll give him the money.”
The people around me all looked at me in shock.
“There are really good people.”
“Hey, keep your voice down. Don’t make him angry. He won’t give it to me. If he doesn’t give it to me, this beggar will definitely not leave. How can I eat something that stinks like this?”
“Right, right, right! Young Man, you’re such a good person!”
..
I smiled and didn’t take their words seriously. I only took out a fifty and handed it to the boss.
The boss was stunned for a moment. That beggar actually held the stick under his armpit, he saluted me several times. “Thank you, thank you, Big Brother. Since you’ve already invited me, Why don’t you give me two more scallion pancakes? I’ve been craving for that thing for a long time. Hehe…”
This fellow was really getting more and more shameless the more I gave him face.
I frowned and said, “Alright.”
The boss coughed lightly. “Young man, are you really going to invite him? Then this money of yours might not be enough. This is 60 to 70 yuan.”
I couldn’t help but feel a little heartache, but since I had already said it, I could only bite the bullet and exchange the fifty dollars for a hundred dollars before handing it over.
The Beggar’s eyes instantly lit up. Just as I was thinking that things weren’t going well.., he grinned and said, “It still looks like there’s still a few tens left. Why don’t I settle down and order some fried noodles? Oh right, add extra ham in the scallion pancake. There’s still some left? Then I’ll order a bowl of vegetables…”
After he finished speaking, he had already wiped out the one hundred Yuan that I had handed over!
This fellow was too greedy!
I almost couldn’t help but want to take it back, but after looking around, I finally didn’t say anything. I endured it, turned around, and sat back down.
After much difficulty, when that beggar left with a full bag of things, the stench finally slowly dissipated. Only then did I let out a long breath and concentrate on eating.
Fortunately, I earned quite a lot now. Otherwise, my heart would ache.
After about ten minutes, I finished eating and walked alone on the road, preparing to go home.
Just as I walked past the entrance of an alley, two people suddenly rushed up from behind, one on the left and the other on the right.
When I was shocked, the person on the left said in a low voice, “Kid, don’t shout or move. Go In!”As he said that, his right hand shook.
My entire body trembled.
He was holding a small knife in his hand and pointed it at my waist!
I had no choice but to obediently be forced by the two of them to turn into the alley.
The light in the alley was dim and there was no one in front or behind. The two of them pushed me into a corner. The person holding the knife shouted, “I saw that you were quite rich just now. Do you still have a few pieces in your wallet? I happen to be short of money, so I borrowed a few pieces to use!”
I immediately reacted.
These two people must have seen the money in my wallet when I was using my wallet to pay for it, and had the heart of a robber!
In my broken wallet was the 1,200 yuan in cash that Sister Yu Lin had given me last time, as well as my original few hundred Yuan living expenses. I had used quite a lot recently, but I still had about 1,000 yuan left.
This wasn’t a small amount of money to me, so how could I be willing to give it to them?
However, looking at the shiny knife, I had no choice but to take out my wallet. With trembling hands, I took out five 100-yuan bills. “Big Brother, I’m still a student. These are my living expenses. Can you leave some for me…”
The person who didn’t take the knife slapped me on the head and scolded, “Leave some for your mother! Take them all out! Forget it, I’ll take them myself!”As he said that, he directly took the wallet, he took out all the banknotes inside, not even letting the change go.
I felt indignant, but there was nothing I could do. I could only watch them throw the wallet aside and leave with a smile.
I bent down to pick up the wallet. When I saw that it was empty, I couldn’t help but sigh.
F * ck!
I didn’t expect to invite that beggar out of kindness. He actually caused my own money to be stolen!
Should I just call the police?
There are surveillance cameras here. Maybe the police can help me get my money back.
But I’ve heard that the money is too little and the police force is limited. They won’t spend their energy on such a small case!
Guo Zhicheng was robbed once. It was said that he was robbed of more than 3,000 yuan in one go. Later, he called the police. It’s been more than a year now, and there’s no way to get it back.
It seemed that he could only accept his fate..
At that moment, a scream suddenly came from the other end of the alley!
