The Underground Emperor: Starting from Running Away with Sister-in-law

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment, and then Ma Xidao's voice sounded again: "We'll talk about it when the time comes. If there's nothing else, then that's it."

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Ding Xin raised his eyebrows. His attitude has improved a lot. It seems that he has become much more honest after being beaten up. He no longer has that arrogant attitude of "I am the boss, everyone in the world is the greatest".

If it were in the past, Ma Xidao would definitely have become furious.

They were shouting things like, "This is a police matter, you gangster just need to mind your own business" and "You're helping if you don't cause trouble."

After teasing Ma Xidao, Ding Xin put away his phone.

The next moment, as if he suddenly remembered something, he turned around and asked, "An Hemao, have you found where you live?"

An Hemao came from Gangwon Province. He had a miserable life before and didn't even have a place to live.

After joining the Xinyi Sect, he has been living in the boxing gym. Recently, he was rewarded with a large sum of money by Ding Xin for his good performance, and then he has been looking for a house.

"I've found it and moved in the day before yesterday."

"where?"

"It's in Jiangshan Apartment. The environment is pretty good."

"Ah."

Since he has found it, that's fine. Ding Xin changed the subject and said, "By the way, what's the name of the relative you mentioned who looks exactly like you?"

"Brother, it's Jiang Dongzhe."

"Yes, remember to introduce Dongzhexi to me some other day. I want to eat fish."

"Okay, big brother."

Ding Xin nodded. Since he also had the face of Ma Xidao, maybe there would be some unexpected surprises if he met him...

Chapter 45 Li Huazi

Dark as ink.

As time went by, Jialifeng Hutong, which had been bustling since early morning, gradually became deserted.

Most of the street vendors who had been busy all day had already packed up their things and went home.

Only a few small businesses and taverns were reluctant to close their business due to the lingering customers...

One of the Chinese restaurants finally saw off the last wave of customers, and Wang Laosan, who had been busy in the kitchen all day, finally had some free time.

He took off his apron, walked outside and lit a cigarette.

He looked at the children who were still diligently cleaning up the dishes in the restaurant and sighed.

The child's name is Wang Wu, and he is Wang Laosan's grandson.

Wang Laosan's son died early, and his daughter-in-law ran away because she disliked Wang Wu, the burden.

Fortunately, Wang Wu has been sensible since he was young and has never caused Wang Laosan any trouble.

But it was precisely because of this understanding that Wang Laosan felt even more distressed.

Wang Laosan, who was immersed in his past memories, did not notice that a slender figure had quietly walked up to him.

"Old man, please help me!"

The sudden pull woke Wang Laosan from his memories.

When he looked closely, he saw a ragged figure kneeling in front of him, holding his arms tightly with both hands.

"What's going on? Girl, get up and talk first."

Although the light in the alley was dim, the light from the museum still allowed one to vaguely make out that it was a woman.

"Old man, please save me. I really can't be caught again. He will beat me to death..."

The woman knelt on the ground and begged bitterly.

Wang Laosan was startled. The woman was speaking Chinese, and he immediately made a guess.

"Hey, girl, don't be impatient, go inside first, and talk later."

Seeing that some people around had heard the noise and started to come out to check the situation, Wang Laosan quickly helped her up and led her into the store.

"Wang Wu, go get a glass of water."

After entering the house, Wang Laosan told the woman to sit down first, and then he turned around to lock the door.

The child responded. Although he was a little curious about who this woman was, he always listened to his grandfather.

Soon, Wang Wu brought the warm water over. The woman took it with sobs and said thank you.

Only then did the grandfather and grandson see the woman's appearance clearly.

She has a plump but well-proportioned figure, and her face is covered in bruises, but even so, one can still tell that she has a good appearance.

He is not too old but definitely not too young either, and looks to be around thirty years old.

"Girl, drink some water first and then talk slowly. Don't worry, no one will come here now." Wang Laosan comforted.

The woman nodded, picked up the cup of water and drank it quickly in one gulp, which showed that she was really thirsty.

Wang Wu took the empty cup and turned around to refill it.

The woman took it, said thank you again, then calmed herself down and began to tell her story.

The woman's name was Li Huazi. She came across the sea from her hometown to work and earn money. She used to work in a seafood store.

But the seafood store owner had a bad temper and treated her like a slave.

Because her salary was constantly withheld and she was not fluent in Korean, she had no choice but to endure it in silence.

But tonight, the seafood store owner went crazy for some unknown reason and took out a knife and threatened to kill her.

She was so frightened that she slipped out when he wasn't noticing.

Because she had heard from a guest before that Jialifeng Hutong was the territory of the old family, so she asked around and came here.

After hearing this, Wang Laosan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, he did not escape from the hands of those human traffickers, otherwise, even if he was kind-hearted, he would not dare to do anything about it.

In fact, what happened to the woman in front of me is very common. Many foreigners come across the sea in various ways.

Most of them want to work to earn money, but due to various restrictions, they cannot find a job openly.

It is easy to be coerced by some evil-hearted people.

Not to mention anything else, there are many such people in Jialifeng Hutong alone.

They came here to make a living because they couldn't make it anywhere else.

"So, girl, what are your next plans?" Wang Laosan asked softly.

"I...I don't know either." Li Huazi sobbed.

At this point, she has used up all her tricks.

From coming here with broken Korean, to asking for help from this kind-looking old man in front of me after careful selection...

She has done her best.

Fortunately, my luck is not too bad.

Both the old people and the young people in this store seem to be kind people.

"You should go back to your hometown. I'm familiar with a criminal policeman here. I can send you back. How about that?"

Wang Laosan made a suggestion, which is also the only feasible option for returning home.

It was obvious that the woman had no money on her, so there was no way she could sneak back.

"I...I can't go back like this, old man, is your store still short of people?"

After a pause, Li Huazi said timidly: "I am very hardworking and can do many things."

Wang Laosan sighed in his heart.

As a person who has been through this before, he certainly understands women's thoughts. If they can make a living in their hometown, who would come across the ocean to work?

Maybe this girl has spent all her money to come here.

After a moment, Wang Laosan finally softened his heart: "You can cut vegetables, right?"

Li Huazi was shocked and said quickly: "Yes, yes, I can also cook some home-cooked dishes."

Wang Laosan nodded and said softly, "Then stay here first, there is an empty room upstairs, I will clean it up for you.

It was agreed in advance that food and accommodation would be provided, but the salary would definitely not be much.”

Li Huazi quickly stood up, bowed, and expressed her gratitude again and again.

For her, the most important thing now is to settle down, to have food and shelter, and she would accept a lower salary, or even no salary.

Wang Laosan asked her to go to the kitchen to find something to eat, and then took Wang Wu upstairs to tidy up the room.

In this way, there was one more illegal immigrant making a living in Jialifeng Hutong.

...

Li Huazi's diligence surprised Wang Laosan.

It also made him realize how important it is to have a woman at home.

Li Huazi took care of all the housework, the tables and chairs in the restaurant were wiped clean, and Wang Wu had much more time to study.

You can see it from the smile on your grandson's face every day.

The clothes on Wang Wu that were never cleaned not only regained their original color, but even emitted a faint fragrance.

The moldy bedding in the house was hung out to dry every day, and swarms of spiders also stayed away from the house.

Even the restaurant business has become more prosperous.

The reason is of course Li Huazi.

After a few days of recovery, the scars on her face had faded and she had regained her original appearance.

Not stunningly beautiful, but in Jialifeng Hutong, she is already a golden flower.
