Chapter 594 I am Xu Damao!
In the evening, the streets gradually became lively, with people getting off work, leaving school, and finishing work. The only difference was that the usual shouting was missing, which always made people feel like something was missing.
Jia Dongxu also returned to the city from the countryside at this time. The bamboo basket behind him was filled with more than three pounds of iron, including broken scissors, rotten kitchen knives, and old door locks.
The old door lock was not collected, but was taken down by Jia Dongxu from the door of his father-in-law's yard.
He took a bus to Qinjiazhuang in the morning and searched his father-in-law's house thoroughly. He almost took away the iron pot from Qin Laoer's house, but he only managed to collect more than two kilograms.
As for Qin Laoer's relatives, not one of them came to help.
After all, iron is so expensive nowadays, who would be willing to give away the iron in their home?
Qin Laoer is willing to give because Jia Dongxu is his son-in-law. If he doesn’t help, who else will he help?
But other relatives do not have this obligation.
On the way back, Jia Dongxu cursed all the way and planned to ask Jia Zhang to go to Qinjiazhuang tomorrow and ask her for some iron from those relatives.
"Hey, that kid in front, stop right there!"
Just as Jia Dongxu was about to walk into the alley, a voice suddenly came from behind him.
Immediately afterwards, several beggars in shabby clothes surrounded Jia Dongxu.
"Who are you?" Jia Dongxu looked at them with disdain and said while covering his nose.
It was summer now, and the smell of these beggars made him feel a little uncomfortable.
The beggar who led the group became unhappy when he saw Jia Dongxu's reaction.
So he stepped forward, dragged Jia Dongxu into the alley, pressed him against the wall and asked, "Your name is Jia Dongxu? You are so arrogant!"
"Do you look down on us because you think we are beggars?"
Seeing that something was not right, Jia Dongxu quickly waved his hands to explain: "No, no, what do you want to see me for? I haven't offended you, have I?"
The leading beggar slapped Jia Dongxu in the face and asked again, "Are you Jia Dongxu?"
Jia Dongxu nodded subconsciously, then quickly shook his head: "No, my name is Xu Damao, Jia Dongxu and I live in the same courtyard, how about I take you to find him?"
"Damn it! You dare to lie to me? Beat me up!"
The leading beggar waved his hand, and the others rushed forward, some grabbed the arms, some choked the throat, some took off their pants, and some slapped them.
The several of them cooperated very well and beat Jia Dongxu until he burst into tears.
A few minutes later, the beggars finished their work and before leaving, they stripped Jia Dongxu naked as agreed, took his clothes and pants and prepared to collect their reward money.
"Jia Dongxu, you're so stupid. Today's interest is just the interest. You'll get more tomorrow!"
Xu Damao, who was hiding behind a telephone pole, witnessed the whole process and felt extremely happy.
Jia Dongxu, who was beaten like a pig and stripped naked, climbed up from the ground while crying, and ran towards the courtyard carrying a bamboo basket.
It must be said that this group of beggars are quite principled. They only beat people and stripped their clothes, but did not touch the iron in the bamboo basket at all.
"Holy crap? Jia Dongxu, what are you doing?"
When Chen Jun came home from get off work, he saw Jia Dongxu running naked. If this scared Lin Yao, Chen Jun would have to slap him a few times.
"Hey, this guy is not normal in his mind, and his whole family is not normal."
At this time, Xu Damao also pushed his bicycle into the alley and started chatting with Chen Jun with a smile.
Chen Jun glanced at Xu Damao and knew that he was involved in this matter.
He heard what happened in front of the bulletin board in the morning, and in the evening Jia Dongxu was taken care of by someone. It was obviously done by Xu Damao.
"Was it the Jia family who did this?" Chen Jun asked without any context.
Xu Damao was stunned at first, then nodded helplessly: "This is my bad luck. I was tricked by Jia Zhang. Not only did I fail to accomplish the task, but I also wasted so much money."
"Oh, if I had known this, I wouldn't have bothered."
Xu Damao feels a little regretful now, but since things have come to this point, there is no point in regretting.
When the two of them returned to the courtyard, people were already discussing Jia Dongxu.
It was time to get off work, and there were many people in the hospital. Many of them were frightened by Jia Dongxu.
Especially the aunties living in the front yard were really shocked.
"Has Jia Dongxu gone insane? Why is he running around the yard naked?"
"I think he probably came out here on purpose to disgust people. His mother did it on purpose to disgust people, and he did it on purpose to disgust people too. They are indeed a family."
"Can we call the police? Is Jia Dongxu considered a hooligan?"
The people standing in the yard were talking excitedly, while Jia Dongxu had already run back home.
"Dongxu, what's wrong with you?" Jia Zhang was shocked. She thought her son had gone crazy because of the worry about collecting the iron!
Jia Dongxu went back to the house, put on his clothes, and recounted what had just happened at the entrance of the alley.
"What? Are these beggars so bold?" Jia Zhang was furious and slammed the table. "Dongxu, come with me. Let's go settle the score with them."
But Jia Dongxu, who had just been beaten, was unwilling to go out. Firstly, it was because people in the yard must be talking about him, and secondly, he was worried that after he went out, he would be stripped naked by these beggars again.
By that time, he wanted to die.
Qin Huairu, who was standing by, stared at Jia Dongxu with complicated eyes for a while, then asked, "How many pounds of iron did you get today?"
Compared to Jia Dongxu's embarrassment, Qin Huairu was more worried about her own family.
Their lives were already hard, and now they had to support this useless son-in-law.
If Jia Dongxu extorted too much from her parents' home, Qin Huairu felt that she would not have the face to go back to visit her relatives.
"Don't mention it. I stayed at your house for the whole morning, and your father only collected more than two kilograms!" Jia Dongxu grumbled in dissatisfaction, then turned to Jia Zhang and said, "Mom, come with me to Qinjiazhuang tomorrow and collect some iron from their relatives. I went to their house to ask for iron today, but they didn't give me any. They look down on our family!"
"What the hell? How dare you not give it to me?" Jia Zhang became even angrier when she heard this. In her opinion, Jia Dongxu went to their house to give them face, but they not only did not appreciate it, but also refused to give him anything. Doesn't this mean they don't take the Jia family seriously?
"Let's go to Qinjiazhuang together tomorrow morning. I want to see..."
"Mom, you should go to the street office with me tomorrow morning!"
Seeing that the Jia mother and son were still going to visit Qinjiazhuang, Qin Huairu quickly spoke up to stop them. If they continued like this, she would be too embarrassed to go back to Qinjiazhuang.
"What are you going to the street office for?" Jia Zhang glared at Qin Huairu with dissatisfaction.
"Let's talk to Director Wang and see if we can get our job as a dung truck driver back!" Qin Huairu glanced at the child in her arms and said worriedly, "Dongxu can't support the child with his salary alone. We have to find another job."
