Chapter 498

Zhang Heng is close to the quarrel, where a gypsy salesman is standing between a Jewish family and some fierce men.

"You've gone too far. The man in this family fell off the scaffold and couldn't work for the last two months. Can't you pay the rent half a month late? Do you have to drive them out?" Gypsy entertainers are dissatisfied.

At this time, Zhang Heng also noticed that the man of the family had a wooden board on his leg. In addition, their furniture and luggage were dragged out and left on the road. The whole family looked sad.

It's furniture and luggage. In fact, it doesn't seem to be a problem to use garbage to describe it. A shabby wooden bed, messy pots, bowls and spoons, and a sofa with one leg missing are all things that I don't know where I picked them up. The dirty wooden horse in the girl's hand is probably her only toy.

"Pay on time. That's the rule here." The hunchback man at the head said, "we are all reasonable people. You can ask their family that I have given him a week's grace time before. How can I give him another week? I tell you that the houses here are in short supply. They don't rent. Some people rent them. There's no reason to lose money in vain."

"But they have already lived here..."

The hunchback man waved his hand impatiently, "I don't care how long they have lived here. I don't run a hospice. If I don't have money, I go to sleep on the street."

"You are too cruel. There is still a child here."

"I don't think much of the children because they are too young to work in factories or mines. Even if I have to borrow money to make up the rent for this month, I still can't find the rent for next month, and I can't pay the money owed. Then the creditors will come to the door again, and I'll be in trouble if I rent it to new tenants."

The hunchback man said coldly, "a Welsh family has already taken a fancy to this room. There are two adult men in the family. The husband and the eldest son have the strength. Although the younger son is thin, he can just get into the chimney and sweep it for others to make money. The hostess sells flowers during the day and receives guests at night. It won't be long before the family can save enough money How do you choose if I buy this house completely? "

Gypsy salesmen are a little stunned at this time.

The hunchback man looked at him again, "why, new comers? Also, if not new comers, how can they meddle in this business? Look at the neighbors around them. Does anyone talk to them? I'll give you a piece of advice. If you want to survive here, you'd better mind your own business."

"No, I can't ignore it now that I see it." Gypsy entertainer, he opened his wallet, took out eight shillings from it, "here you are, this is two months' rent, I help them out," and then she pointed to the man said, "two months later, he can work, and naturally he can continue to pay the rent for you."

This time it was the hunchback man's turn to be stunned. He seemed to be in hesitation. He stood in the same place for a while, his small eyes flickered. After a while, he still took the money and said to the lame man, "you are lucky. Let's go."

When they left, the Jewish family was grateful to the gypsy artists. They met by chance. They had never met before and had no friendship. It's hard to imagine that the other side would give such a large sum of money for them.

However, the gypsy salesman thought about it, took out a half pound gold coin from his wallet, put it into the little girl's hand, and winked at her, "don't worry, your father's legs will be better, and life will be better."

"This..." The hostess was completely shocked. She couldn't imagine that a wandering Gypsy salesman would spend half a pound.

But when she wanted to say something more, the good gipsy salesman had turned away with the organ on his back, and the figure of the latter soon disappeared in the street.

One side of Zhang Heng witnessed what happened, he thought a little, or to keep up with the gypsy selling artist.

He saw the figure with the organ on his back walking briskly through the crowd. Sometimes he stopped in front of the salmon stand and chatted with the boss. The last time Zhang Heng saw each other, the gypsy salesman was squatting in front of a drunk, watching him wave his arms to curse the unscrupulous factory owner and the greedy woman.

Then Zhang Heng lost the sight of the gypsy selling artist.

Zhang Heng stood in front of a crossroads and raised his eyebrows. He had to say that the terrible area and layout of the eastern district is really suitable for getting away.

However, Zhang Heng is not very angry when he sees that someone has lost him. Anyway, he just wants to remind the other party that he doesn't have to.

Zhang Heng is about to turn around and leave, but he sees the gypsy artist not far behind him.

The latter is coming towards him. No, to be more exact, he is coming towards him, because the eyes of the entertainer have been staring at Zhang Heng instead of others.

"Are you following me?"

"Strictly speaking, I'm trying to remind you that you're being watched." Zhang Hengdao."Why should I believe you?" The gypsy entertainer shrugged. "This place is full of thieves and swindlers, and all kinds of people with ulterior motives."

Zhang Heng didn't explain anything, just made a gesture of please.

However, the gypsy entertainer did not leave immediately. Instead, he turned his eyes and said, "do you have any suggestions?"

"My advice is Don't get caught Zhang Heng said, "when you solved the family's difficulties, you revealed your wealth. That's when they targeted you."

"Ha, that guy who collects rent is not a good man."

"In fact, he may not be the one who came here. He is obviously very familiar with this area and knows a lot of people. Maybe someone else is following you."

"It's troublesome. In fact, I only took a pound with me this time. The rest is my dinner and carriage fee." As the gypsy salesman was saying this, he saw a group of strangers come out of the alley at the other end of the street. One of them pointed to him and said, "don't run, thief! Return the wallet you stole from me. "

Gypsy salesmen are angry and happy. They have a good ability to confuse black and white. They come to grab his wallet, but they bite back and tell others not to interfere. Seeing that group of people come up again, he says to Zhang Heng, "your suggestion seems to be a little late. Do you have any other ideas?"

"Yes." Zhang Hengdao took off his coat and handed it to the gypsy artist, "help me with it."

The latter frowned and took the coat that Zhang Heng had bought for ten pence from his old clothes.

"Just knock down all the people who come. There are no police here anyway." Zhang Heng moved a wrist light way.
