Chapter 819 People can be bad, but they cannot be conscienceless
Seeing Jiang Cheng staring at her with burning eyes, Reba shyly changed the subject.
"Why should we follow Grandpa Zhao?"
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng turned to look at Reba and said in a low voice: "I think he must have been deceived."
"Huh? You got cheated?"
As soon as Reba finished speaking, she saw Zhao An Ning suddenly stop at the door of the welfare home.
Then he took out the change he had just gotten from selling scrap metal from his other pocket.
After stacking it neatly, he put the money into the donation window at the door.
After the show, he apparently did not register his name, but left the window in a hurry.
Just then, Jiang Cheng's cell phone suddenly rang.
He took out his cell phone and saw that it was a call from Wang Sheng. Jiang Cheng pressed the answer button and put the phone to his ear.
After hearing the end, Jiang Cheng said coldly, "Solve it."
"What's wrong??"
Jiang Cheng looked at the phone in his hand and clicked to play the short video sent by Wang Sheng.
The little boy who appeared in the picture was Xiaoqing, who looked so pitiful just now.
After Xiaoqing turned around and left, she changed her pitiful look.
Instead, he has the aura of a street urchin.
While eating the food that Reba bought for him, he walked towards an alley in Kyoto.
Not long after, he met a middle-aged man and handed the money to him.
He kept cursing and complaining, "Dad, the old guy is out of money recently. What should I do? He has been picking up fewer and fewer bottles lately."
The middle-aged man who was smoking touched Xiaoqing's head and offered some advice.
"Son, why are you so stupid! If he has no money, just let him find a way himself. You can ask him to borrow money, or try online loans. A few thousand yuan a month is really not enough. In a few days, tell him that the school is organizing a winter tour to a certain country and it will cost a few thousand yuan. Let him borrow it. Besides, he knows nothing about the Internet, so you can use his mobile phone to apply for a loan. Dad will teach you how to do it..."
Reba was stunned after watching this video. Her beautiful face was full of astonishment. At the same time, a strong sense of anger surged in her heart.
"What? I felt so guilty just now. I was thinking that I would go get some money to give to this little boy later! How could he do this? Grandpa Zhao was so good to him, and he turned out to be a liar!"
Seeing Reba's angry look like an annoyed kitten, Jiang Cheng reached out and gently touched her head.
He said calmly, "You can't praise the deliciousness of meat when you don't have anything to eat, and then complain about the dirty bowl after you've finished eating. A person can be bad, but he must not be without conscience."
"What should we do now? If Grandpa Zhao knew about this, he would be so sad..." Reba murmured to herself with a worried look on her face.
Just then, Zhao An Ning turned around and found Jiang Cheng and Reba.
In a surprised tone, he said, "How come you two followed me here? I didn't even notice you. I'm almost home now. Do you want to come up and have a drink of water?"
Zhao An Ning scratched his head and said with a simple and honest look.
Jiang Cheng did not refuse and followed Zhao An Ning to a semi-old residential building at the corner.
This community is obviously made up of renovated single houses, which are quite old and have no elevator.
After climbing up the stairs and entering the room, Reba's expression became noticeably more sad.
After all, she was not very good at hiding her true thoughts.
Seeing that Jiang Cheng did not mention Xiaoqing, she had no choice but to hold back, closing her lips and not saying anything.
In order to allow Xiaoqing to study with peace of mind, Zhao Anning has always lived a very frugal and simple life.
Although the house was tidy and clean, there were all kinds of leftovers on the table, and even garbage he had picked up from outside was piled everywhere.
Zhao Anning explained rather embarrassedly: "I'm so sorry, usually not many people come here."
Jiang Cheng behaved very naturally. He took the slightly old cup and drank it all without hesitation, without any disgust at all.
"Mr. Zhao, this is public housing, right?!"
Speaking of this, Zhao Anning nodded, his eyes full of gratitude.
"Yes, I have lived here for more than ten years. This place is free. The government helped me apply for it. I don't have to spend a penny to live here. The location is also very good."
Jiang Cheng knows something about public rental housing.
These houses are built with government funding and there is no rent to pay as long as the application is approved.
They are specifically provided as affordable housing for people who are in financial difficulty and meet certain conditions.
This type of public rental housing has obvious characteristics. One is that the area is relatively small, and the other is that it only has a public toilet.
These two characteristics are actually out of helplessness.
After all, the houses are completely free. If the conditions are too good, they will probably be occupied privately by insiders during the construction period, and ordinary people will have no chance to move in.
In order to avoid this kind of internal corruption problem, this housing model was adopted.
So, in this society, as long as there is an opportunity, most people are selfish and don’t care about the lives of others.
No matter how good your conditions are, when you can get more for free, no one will consider the overall situation.
People like Zhao Anning are still very rare.
Jiang Cheng nodded: "Are you alone?"
"Yes, my wife passed away early. She was in poor health in the early years. We didn't have any children. I am alone now, without any worries. Fortunately, I met Xiaoqing. Although he is unwilling to live with me, he calls me grandpa and comes to see me occasionally..."
