Chapter 367 The Years I Was a Beggar 12
The man opposite was obviously as speechless as Yunyan. Could it be that they had encountered a mentally ill beggar?
"What a mess! You just barged into our territory and stole our business. You need to give an explanation for this."
"We have been begging here for years, just come when you say so!"
The square-faced man's meaning was very clear. He wanted Yunyan and the others to pay money before they could stay in this place.
Yunyan asked, "Your names aren't written on this place, so why should I give you any benefits?"
The man with the imperial face looked a little serious.
"We are the first group of beggars to arrive here. We have dealt with the local tyrants long ago, but sometimes people come to cause trouble."
"Let me put it this way. We are protecting this area. If you want to live here, you have to pay us protection fees. Isn't it only natural that we are responsible for protecting you?"
Yunyan suddenly felt that what he said made sense. Seeing this man with a scholarly face explaining so much, it seemed that he didn't want to make a big deal out of it.
Yunyan took a step forward.
"How much protection fee do I have to pay? If I get into trouble after paying, can I come to you anytime?"
The man with a scholar's face nodded and patted his chest.
"Of course. If you pay the protection fee, you are ours. If anyone dares to bully you, we will definitely come after them."
"You newcomers are probably not wealthy, so each of you should pay 800 per month. With the prices in Beijing, 800 is already a bargain."
Yunyan asked, "How can I trust you? What if you take my money and run away?"
The man with a scholar's face seemed to not understand Yunyan's question.
After all, Wang Laoliu was a well-known figure in the beggars' market in the capital. How could he possibly run away with the money?
"I, Wang Laoliu, am not that kind of person. You can ask around. I have been here for several years after all."
Yunyan thought for a moment and then asked, "After we pay the protection fee, if we can't beg for money and can't pay the protection fee for next month, will you drive us away?"
Wang Laoliu frowned. This girl asked too many questions. Although he was a little impatient, he still explained.
"I've already said that if you pay the protection fee, you're ours. We have an organization and discipline, so how can we not get the money?"
He shifted his gaze to the guy with a crew cut next to him.
"Old Third, tell me how much is the minimum amount of money a beggar here can ask for in a month?"
The man called Lao San had a smug smile on his face.
"Let me tell you, the worst beggars here can make at least 6000 yuan a month, which is much more than those unscrupulous beggars out there."
"Besides, our big brother is very loyal and has benefits on various holidays. Do you want to join us or not? If not, leave now!"
Yunyan and Su Nian'an looked at each other. It sounded good.
I didn’t expect that beggars nowadays have the minimum wage, and looking at the appearance of these people, they seem quite united.
Yunyan thought it was feasible. First, there were all kinds of forces in the capital city. Wang Laoliu had been here for a long time and knew the place very well.
Second, she didn't think Wang Laoliu looked like a bad guy, but rather had the chivalrous spirit of a man of the underworld.
Su Nian'an also thought that he could join. For 800 yuan a month, he could get the protection of these local forces, which seemed not bad.
Moreover, these people are so familiar with this place, they must have ways to get information about the activities of the urban management, so that they don't have to be chased around.
She pulled Yunyan's sleeve, and Yunyan looked at her and knew that she had the same idea as her.
Wang Laoliu, who was standing opposite Yunyan, saw Yunyan thinking for a while and asked, "Have you made up your mind? We are still busy, make a decision quickly."
Yunyan raised her eyebrows and then answered.
"One last question. We are poor beggars from out of town, with little savings. Can you give us a cheaper price?"
Yunyan wanted to join, but she wouldn't mind if she could bargain.
Wang Laoliu took a look at the three people. They were indeed dressed more poorly than them, and there were two girls among them.
The boy next to him was so skinny, just like a thin dog, and he would probably be blown away by the slightest wind.
Wang Laoliu made up his mind and spoke to Yunyan.
"Okay, since you just got here, I'll charge you less."
"You two girls get 600 a month, and the skinny one gets 500 a month."
Hearing this, Wangcai immediately felt dissatisfied. When did his high-tech system become so cheap?
"Hey, why am I only 500, less than both of them."
Wang Laoliu frowned, and the more he looked at Wangcai, the more unhappy he became.
"You are so skinny that you are not worth the money. I am showing you respect by charging you 500."
Wangcai refused to accept the result and he wanted to fight for his position.
"No, I want 600 too. I'm not cheap. Don't think I don't know that cheap things are not good. You just look down on me."
Wang Laoliu is also a stubborn person.
"Hey, you little bastard, I'm only going to charge you 500 today, what can you do about it!"
“I want 600!”
"500!"
"600!"
……
Yunyan never expected that the two of them would quarrel over this matter.
Not only does Wangcai have a low IQ, but the boss on the opposite side doesn’t seem to be very smart either.
In fact, Wang Laoliu was just unhappy with Wangcai, thinking that a grown man had to rely on two girls.
He saw it all on the street. There were two girls doing the work for money, and he was just lying there like a zombie.
Being a beggar but still living off others is really a disgrace to beggars and men!
The quarrel between the two continued, and Wangcai had the urge to turn into a Husky and bite him a few times.
It's really infuriating. This Lao Liu really looks down on others.
Looking at the two people bidding against each other, Yunyan reached out and pulled Wangcai back.
"Okay, little brother, listen to big brother! Big brother will protect us in the future."
Wangcai felt aggrieved, why was the host still being so stubborn?
When Wang Laoliu saw Wangcai's expression, he despised Wangcai even more. It was ridiculous for a man to cry like that.
He gave instructions to the younger brother beside him.
"Third brother, these two girls are 600, and the thin dog is !"
Wangcai exploded.
"You're just an idiot! I'm not an idiot! No, I have to charge 800!"
No matter what Wangcai said, Wang Laoliu had already made up his mind that this thin dog was worth two hundred and fifty yuan.
He directly asked the third brother to go over and collect the money, and Yunyan covered Wangcai's mouth!
Every penny saved counts, and even though Wangcai suffered a little physical attack from the dog, they were the ones who benefited.
Yunyan was very strong and Wangcai couldn't break free. He could only watch his host pay the money.
Wang Laoliu was particularly good at making people angry. He collected Yunyan and Su Nian'an's money together, but had to collect Wangcai's 250 last.
