Chapter 116: Repayment of Gratitude

When Yang Yu heard Ergouzi's words behind him, he staggered and almost fell into the stinky ditch on the side of the road.

Love beauty is a woman's nature. When the first half of the sentence is automatically filtered, Ling Fei seemed to hear Ergouzi praise him for being beautiful, and the rest turned a deaf ear.

Before walking a few steps, Ergouzi suddenly stopped: "Brother Yang Yu, Sister Ling Fei, can you give me some more time? I want to say a few words to Brother Wang Ermazi..."

Yang Yu stopped, turned around and walked to Ergouzi, and chuckled and touched the back of his head: "The place we are going is not far from here. You can come back at any time in the future. Let's go! Let's go with you."

Yang Yu's seemingly ordinary behavior deeply touched Ergouzi's heart. After his mother never returned, he began to work as a thief in order to survive. Although the neighbors around him sometimes gave him food, they would never let his children play with him, for fear of being taken away. So in the past few years, only Yang Yu has given him the care he really needed. This feeling is like his own brother pampering his younger brother, meticulous.

"Is your brother Wang Ermazi also a thief?"

After Ling Fei asked this question, she also realized that it was inappropriate. She was stunned. However, Ergouzi nodded and shook her head again: "When I was very young, he was a thief, but later he was caught stealing something, and then he broke his legs and got disabled. Now he won't steal it anymore, but he only weaves bamboo baskets at home to sell it."

"Then why did he teach you how to do this?"

Yang Yu was also a little curious, why did Wang Ermazi teach Ergouzi to steal things?

"This is a long story. It's the time when he was broken his legs. He was lying at home and no one took care of him. Although my mother didn't let me approach him, I still secretly sent him food. After my mother left, I had to go hungry if I didn't eat. There was no way. Brother Ermazi said that I would learn this craft..."

As the conversation started, Ergouzi kept talking. This was the first time in a few years that he had said so much to others except Wang Ermazi.

He took Yang Yu and Ling Fei to a small wooden house that was equally dilapidated.

"Brother Ermazi, Brother Ermazi, open the door, I am Ergouzi."

After patting the wooden door a few times, Ergouzi took two steps back and waited patiently, and turned his head to Yang Yu and the others and said, "He has to wait for a while."

Sure enough, not long after, a young man in rags opened the door with a crutch. He said it was a crutch, but it was actually a piece of peeled wooden stick, but the position of the handle had been polished.

"Ergouzi, why did you get caught again?"

Wang Ermazi saw Yang Yu and Ling Fei standing behind Ergouzi at a glance, and was slightly stunned, then lowered his head to ask Ergouzi.

With a shy smile, Ergouzi nodded and continued, "I'll introduce you to you. This is Brother Yang Yu and Sister Ling Fei."

"Two, this kid is young and ignorant, so please spare him once." With a crutch, Wang Ermazi stood up with difficulty and bowed to Yang Yu and Ling Fei to plead for mercy. Then he pretended to be angry and asked Ergouzi: "What did you take? Return it to them quickly!"

He had been a thief and his eyes were naturally sharp. At first glance, he could see that Yang Yu's outfit was not worth dozens or hundreds of dollars. People who can wear such good clothes these days are either rich or noble. Although they can get a lot of money with one purchase, the consequences of being caught are often the most serious, such as his legs...

"It's okay, I've returned the things to Brother Yang Yu." Ergouzi waved his hand, and a smirk appeared on his dirty face. It was embarrassing to be caught stealing something.

"Then what did you bring them here?"

Wang Ermazi is now confused. Since all the things have been returned, why are Ergouzi still bringing Yang Yu and the others?

"I came here this time mainly to tell you that I am leaving here. Brother Yang Yu said he would give me a job and I will be able to support myself by then."

When Ergouzi mentioned that he had a job right away and no longer had to go out to steal things in a hurry, he looked excited.

But Wang Ermazi was not excited, but his face became serious instead, and he looked at Yang Yu and Ling Fei with vigilance: "Where are you going to take him? He is just a little baby and can't do anything."

Hearing the doubts in Wang Ermazi's tone, Yang Yu nodded: "Not far from here, Hengyu Group."

Although Wang Ermazi had been a thief, Yang Yu still had enough respect for him. Although it was wrong to teach Ermazi to steal things, Wang Ermazi's legs had been discounted, and even supporting himself was a problem. He could only use the method of teaching skills to repay Ermazi's kindness for giving him steamed buns. Maybe this is what the saying goes: there is a way to steal.

"Hengyu Group? I haven't heard of it, what does it do?"

Frowning slightly, Wang Ermazi shook his head. After his legs were broken, he rarely went out. Hengyu was born in the past few months, and it was normal that he had never heard of it.

"Our group is a clothing business. If you don't believe it, you can go out and ask. Don't worry, Ergouzi will never treat him badly after following me."

Not angry, Yang Yu explained patiently, and Ling Fei nodded from the side.

"Brother Yang Yu said just now that I can come back often. When I make money, I will bring you delicious food back then."

Although Ergouzi is still young and doesn't know a good relationship, his instinct and intuition tell him that Brother Yang Yu and Sister Ling Fei are both good people and will not harm him.

After hearing Ergouzi say that he could come back often, Wang Ermazi felt much more relieved, and still said to Ergouzi with some concern: "If you can't get used to it there, then come back."

Since they could come back frequently, the two of them were not sad. After chatting for a few moments, Yang Yu left 30 yuan for Wang Ermazi and took Ergouzi to the street.

The owner of the food stall on the roadside saw Yang Yu bringing Ergouzi out, and they all surrounded him and asked nonsense.

"Ergouzi, did you take away the car keys? Ouch! Poor kid! What a sin!"

"Hurry back the car keys to others! A car costs 100 or 200 yuan! Such an expensive thing, look at your child..."

"Young man, are you looking for everything? A child is ignorant, don't bother with him. If you want to blame him, blame this kid. After his father went to the battlefield, his mother left. No one has ever been disciplined since he was a child..."

Seeing Yang Yu bring Ergouzi out, they subconsciously thought that Yang Yu wanted to take Ergouzi to meet the official. They should know that there was no law on the protection of minors at that time. In other words, if the little baby made a mistake, he would still have to accept legal sanctions. Who would have the heart to take such a young child to meet the official?
