The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman

Have you heard?! We are also going to be remodeled here!!! A child rushed into the cellar, waved the newspaper on his hand and said, Look! We are on the first phase of the plan!

The other children gathered around and said, What transformation? What transformation?

The child shook the newspaper and said: It seems that we are going to build a crossover here, but in order to build a crossover, the buildings here must first be changed into... that is... a living hell, have you been there? That's the kind, all the houses They are all placed in one building, and then connected by passages, which become very tall, and everyone can have a house! ·

Really? I've heard from my uncle that the houses in the living hell are very expensive, because everyone can have a single room there, and some rich people can even have a living room!

If it can become like this, can we also have a room to live in?! A girl said excitedly: There is also an overpass, is it the same as the bridge next to our street?!

Come on, the bridge over the stinking ditch. How can it be compared with the overpass? If you have been to the city center, you will know that the overpass there is taller than the buildings here! ·

I like the living hell place very much! A little boy raised his hand and said, When I went there to deliver things, the people there were very arrogant, but yes, they lived in new houses and drank wine. Clean water, downstairs is the shop where you can buy things, even the clothes of the children there are cleaner than ours!

Great, if it really becomes like that, I must live in a room with a window, the one that can see the outside, and I will grow a pot of flowers...

The children were very excited imagining the future scene. At this time, a sleepy voice came from the next room, and he said, What's the matter? Noisy?

Oh! Boss, hurry up and read today's newspaper! The children immediately gathered around and said, Boss Jason, hurry up, we are going to renovate here!

Jason tried his best to open his eyes. Last night, he read too late and only slept for four or five hours. He is still very sleepy.

He took the newspaper and saw that it said that the second phase of Gotham's road renovation plan will be put into construction soon, and the second phase of the plan includes their street, and the content of the renovation includes building renovation And transportation renovation, building renovation will start in three days.

Boss, you have seen a lot, tell me, will this place become like a living hell, everyone lives in a big house, you can buy everything in the house, and you don't have to get in the rain anymore, You don’t have to worry about waterlogging in the streets anymore?”

Can we also have a house with windows? Well, it can be a room for four people, or a room for six people. As long as there is a window, I can grow a pot of flowers... ·

Jason's complexion gradually turned serious, because he not only noticed the news of the start of the transformation, but also the method of the transformation.

This makeover. It is no longer a joint venture between the gang and the Wayne family, but the government takes the lead, the Wayne Group injects capital, and contracts the project. From design to construction to putting into use, it is all controlled by the Wayne Group. money.

Jason was different from these kids, he could see it more clearly. How much investment is required for such a large project? Are the Wayne Group crazy?

In the last renovation of the living hell, apart from the Wayne Group, the Falcone family and the government all participated, and the leaders of the twelve families also injected capital, and the final effect was quite good.

The sideline industry there is quite prosperous, providing a lot of supporting services for the logistics industry, and after the people there become rich, the gangsters who rule there can pay more protection fees.

But this time. The cost of the renovation is completely borne by the Wayne Group, but the gangsters can use the buildings and roads here completely free of charge. No matter how you look at it, they are like sugar-coated cannonballs.

The books Jason had just finished reading told him. Don't ever expect capitalists to be merciful, but as soon as he's finished reading these books, the biggest capitalist in the city is merciful, trying to improve the lives of all the people here, and for nothing.

Jason narrowed his eyes and looked a little vigilant. He said to all the children in a deep voice, Cheer up, there may be a big change recently, go, let those people who are running around come back quickly...

Boss! Boss! Oops! Miss Sixfingers has a head injury, and Sister Cookie brought him back, go and have a look! A very young child rushed in and screamed, Jason's face It sank immediately.

Jason ran out in a hurry and saw that Sister Cookie was bandaging Sister Liuzhi's head. The smell of blood permeated the air. He walked up and looked at the wound on Sister Liufinger's head and asked, What's going on? How did you do it?

It's okay, I got into a fight with someone else, and I accidentally scratched it. The eldest sister Liuzhi turned her head aside, and then said, Have you heard the news? This place is going to be remodeled recently, I think we should change the place.

Why?! Another kid raised his voice. It's because of the renovation. We should be here, we'll get a house!

Sister Liuzhi showed a painful expression on her head and said, Have you read the resettlement plan? I'm afraid we have to leave here to survive...

Jason turned his head back, picked up the newspaper he had just put down, and continued to look down. He saw that the resettlement plan was unexpectedly generous. All residents here, regardless of whether they have a driver's license or not, can get a room quota .

The minimum standard for a room is a single room without a kitchen or bathroom, but with windows, a minimum of three hours of sunlight per day, and good furniture.

only. If you want a better single room, such as one bedroom and one living room or a kitchen and bathroom, you need to pay more.

If there is no extra money, it will be a single room that can only accommodate one bed, but there will be a public toilet and an open-air kitchen on the floor where the single room is located.

But this is also an extremely superior living condition for these children. After all, there are twenty or thirty of them crowded in the basement now. Not only does it have no windows, but it is also exposed to wind and rain from time to time.

As for the bathroom and kitchen, not to mention, even the beds in the room are made of crates. Jason’s small bed had a mattress he found, and some others had it. Mattresses, some even covered with only a thin layer of sheets.

It was written in the resettlement plan. Each room is equipped with a standard bed, a mattress, a lamp, and a small bedside table. There is also a flower pot on the bay window of the room, and there is even a picture hanging on the bedside.

Jason saw that the contractor for the renovation and decoration part of the building was Wayne Decoration Engineering Company. This company was the company that did the decoration for the Wayne Hotel.

But Jason's complexion is getting worse and worse, because according to the rules of the gang, these things are not something they can have.

At this moment, there was a bang, and the door of the cellar was pried open. Several gangsters jumped down, pointed guns at all the children and said, Get out! Hurry up! All go to the ground , don’t stay here anymore!”

The children all climbed up tremblingly, and stood against the wall after reaching the ground, including Jason.

The leading gang member said: I will give you one afternoon to move away, and you are not allowed to appear on our gang's territory again. No matter who asks, you have to say that you have never been here. If anyone asks you, you Just say it was moved from someone else, understand?

Miss Liuzhi covered her head with her arms and said bitterly, You only give us one afternoon to move, and you can't even take our things with you!

It's not my business, it's the boss's order. In short, you must leave here before tonight. After all, work will start in three days. If those rich guys see you begging here, don't you know what to say? what!

The gang member flicked the barrel of the gun with his finger and said, You better be sensible. It's enough fun for you to stay here for so long. Get out!

After several gang members left, the children were all pale, and the sister of the Cookie sisters asked: Why did we suddenly move out of here, why did they drive us away?

Sister Liufinger squatted down with tears in her eyes, covered her arms and said, Don't you know? A single room in living hell can be rented for a high price of 10 dollars a week...

We have more than 20 people here, and we can be divided into more than 20 rooms. If we don't live there, the gangsters here can earn more than 200 dollars a week, which is close to 1,000 dollars a month...

As long as we are driven away and the house we are allotted is rented out, they don't have to do anything every month, and they can earn three times more money than before. Everyone knows how prosperous the living hell is now, It will be the same here...

Jason held the newspaper tightly in his hand, and he said, As long as we can make money, they don't care about anything. They don't care about where we go, how we live in the future, whether we will die on the street or not. superior……

Jason's arms began to tremble constantly, he took a deep breath, and said, Pack up your things and prepare to move.·

There are tears in the eyes of all the children, and there is nothing like hope and then despair. It's even sadder.

But Jason became calmer than before. Six Fingers looked at him and said, Jason, you have changed a lot. If it was the past, you would be very angry. Say something to trouble them.

Because, recently, I have learned a truth. Jason's tone was calm and frightening. He said, It's useless to just talk about it. No one will be afraid of me just because I yell louder.

After finishing speaking, he pursed his lips and walked towards the entrance of the cellar. Before going down, he said to Big Sister Liuzhi: There will be such a situation, and we must not be the only one. The three nearby streets will be remodeled, that is to say. The kid gang will be kicked out.

Big Sister Six Fingers heard some bad premonitions, and she asked, What do you want to do? Jason! Jason...don't do stupid things, we can live somewhere else...

Pressing the manhole cover of the cellar, Jason smiled, and said, Go to other places? What if other places are also remodeled?

If the whole of Gotham is to be transformed into a city like this bit by bit, into a city where everyone has a place to live, do you think this will make our lives better?

No. People with money and guns would occupy them even if those houses could accommodate everyone, and they wouldn't let us live in them even if they left the houses empty, even if they let us freeze to death in the streets.

Jason closed his eyes and said, In Gotham, we can't live on the pity of others...we don't need pity anymore.
