Le Wan shouted as she dragged the still-stunned Little Brother Le and ran away. Little Brother Le didn’t forget to call his two companions. Seeing this, Big Brother Le and Zhai Jing also ran away.
Hence, before the three hooligans could react, the group of people ran away. When they heard the police whistle behind them, they immediately ran even faster. After running out of the commercial street, they turned into another alley under the guidance of the little boy. After a few more twists and turns, they directly ran into another street.
The little boy said in the local dialect,
“You don’t have to be afraid if you run here. The police over there can’t control this place.”
Thus, everyone stopped by the roadside to rest while panting. Seeing that everyone’s heads were covered in sweat, they instantly laughed out loud.
After laughing, the lackey suddenly realized that something was wrong. He looked at the three of them suspiciously.
“Why are you there?”
Le Wan didn’t even need to draft anything in her mind. She said,
“That’s the commercial street. Is there a problem with the three of us going there to shop?”
She sized up Little Brother Le’s attire and then glanced at the man and woman who were hiding behind him. They were also curious.
“Or should I say, shouldn’t you explain to us what’s going on on your side first? Did he dress up like this because he wanted to experience life more thoroughly?”
When Little Brother Le heard her words, he looked down at his empty hands and suddenly cried out,
“Oh no, we left our bags there.”
They had picked up most of the things for half a day, including half a bag of plastic bottles. Because they had run too fast, they had left everything behind.
Little Brother Le’s expression was downcast and unhappy. If he ran back now, he was afraid that everything would be disposed of.
The little boy couldn’t understand what they were saying, but from Little Brother Le’s actions and expression, he could roughly guess what had happened. He immediately became depressed.
Big Brother Le didn’t mind that his clothes were dirty. He patted his shoulder and comforted him,
“It’s okay. It’s just a small bag of plastic bottles. It’s gone. Seeing that there’s a reason for this, I’ll still calculate your performance today according to the previous one.”
Little Brother Le’s underling didn’t become happy when he heard this.
“To me, losing a day’s worth of money is nothing.” He curled his lips and pointed at the two people behind him. “But for these two guys, if they pick up less trash for a day, they won’t have anything to eat today. They’ll also be punished.”
Le Wan and the other two then focused their gazes on the two friends he was pointing at.
Big Brother Le raised his eyebrows.
“Who are they? And what happened during the conflict on the street just now? Tell me honestly.”
Little Brother Le didn’t want them to know about this, but now that it was exposed, there was no need to hide it.
He pointed at the boy.
“This is White.” He then pointed at the girl next to him. “This is his sister, Gegar. They were the people I met on the first day I picked up trash.”
From Little Brother Le, they learned the story of these two children.
Gegar, who looked abnormal, was fourteen years old this year. White, who was a head shorter than him, was ten years old this year. The two of them were born into an unfortunate family.
Their father was a drug addict, and their mother was an alcoholic. The monthly government relief money that their family received was used to pay for drugs and alcohol. Therefore, the two children didn’t even have food at home. They could only rely on their hands to pick up garbage. Every day, they exchanged for a meager income and some cheap discounted goods to barely support the family.
As for Gaegar, her parents didn’t send her to the hospital for treatment when she had a high fever when she was young. As a result, her head was burned and she became mentally disabled. As a result, her parents despised her very much. If it weren’t for White taking her to pick up trash every day to earn some food expenses, her parents would have despised her as a burden and thrown her out of the house long ago.
As for why they and Little Brother Le knew one another, it was because in this area, even picking up trash wasn’t allowed. Those hooligans would divide the nearby areas and claim that they were their territory.
Daily, they would engage in petty theft or extortion of tourists. Because they rarely caused any big trouble, the local police basically turned a blind eye to them and didn’t care much about them.
In their territory, they believed that as long as there was no owner around, they would be in charge, including the trash cans. Therefore, they didn’t allow people from other territories to pick up trash..
