Unlike Gong Xue'er, Chen Qiang was able to understand the actions of the old man and the others.
Logically speaking, 100,000 yuan was indeed a huge sum of money for homeless people like them.
If the old man had monopolized this huge sum of money, no one would say anything. Moreover, if he had this sum of money, he could completely break away from the group of vagrants and live a more stable life like the rest of the people in the city.
He could rent a house in the suburbs, clean himself up, find a job, and be completely self-sufficient!
However, the old man did not do so. Instead, he chose to squander this sum of money with the other vagrants, so much so that they could only live a carefree life for ten days.
Then, was it really like what Gong Xue'er said, that the old man and the others were too wasteful?
Or could it be said that they were a group of beggars?
She might have guessed it right!
This group of vagrants was already used to a wandering life. If they were really allowed to settle down, they would not be used to it!
They were used to other people's charity and were used to seeing other people's pity and supercilious looks. To them, if there was a day when they could not see other people's supercilious looks and pity, they would feel that something was missing in their lives!
Once a certain habit became a habit, it would be like a conditioned reflex. Wanting to change it? It was too difficult!
Of course, unless there was a day when the habits and lifestyles of the entire society underwent a huge change, they would be even more excited than others to change their own fate and habits!
Chen Qiang had already understood this point in the post-apocalyptic world.
Just like when he and Light Dust had met Tu Mantian and the other bandits at the Fog Blood Altar, the majority of the people who followed Tu Mantian were once the most despised group of people.
However, in the post-apocalyptic world, anything could happen. The only thing missing was the upholders of order!
Once there was no upholders of order, these people who were once looked down upon would be like dragons returning to the sea. They would find the highest goal in life and become the most dangerous group of people standing on the opposite side of humanity!
And all of this was due to human nature!
Of course, that was all in the future.
As for how the old man and the others would choose their way of life after a year and a half, no one could say for sure.
But at least for now, the old man's status and image among the dozen or so vagrants was praiseworthy.
After all, in the eyes of these vagrants, the old man didn't turn his tail and refuse to recognize them once he became rich. Instead, he chose to have fun with them. This was called being loyal!
As for Chen Qiang, this guy who had only stayed in their homeless nest for a day, in the eyes of the old man and the others, was also a friend worth making!
After all, after Chen Qiang returned to the Tianhong Group to live a comfortable life, he did not forget about them. Wasn't his behavior similar to the old man's?
Therefore, after the group of tramps sat down, they quickly got along well with Chen Qiang!
"Sure! Little brother, even though you've become rich, you didn't forget about us poor brothers. You're really something! "
"Little brother, I didn't expect you to be a big shot in the Tianhong Group. You're really a benefactor!"
"That's right, little brother, why did you think of coming over to mingle with us that day? Could it be that he had a conflict with his wife? Haha! "
"Eh? Little brother, is this little girl your wife or lover? Why don't you introduce her to us? "
"Heh heh, did you see that? The little girl's face is red! Could it be that you've hit the nail on the head? Tell me the truth, little brother, have the two of you ever rolled around in bed?? "
The tramps' words were vulgar and they didn't have any taboos. However, this was also in line with their status.
People like them naturally didn't have the right to marry a wife. Even if the old man became a nouveau riche and brought a huge sum of money to bring these brothers to find a prostitute or something, they believed that no one would receive them!
Therefore, women had forever become their hottest topic.
Luckily, Gong Xue 'er had come with Chen Qiang. Otherwise, the words that this group of fellows said would be several times worse than this!
The little girl, Gong Xue 'er, was completely unfamiliar with the world of tramps. Since when had she seen such a scene? She had already hidden behind Chen Qiang. Her two hands tightly grasped the corner of Chen Qiang's clothes as if she was a rare animal in this group of tramps. She was afraid that she would be skinned alive!
Chen Qiang knew that this group of fellows was just talking and taking advantage of him, so he didn't mind laughing with them.
He grabbed a roast chicken, tore it a few times, and placed it in front of Big Yellow beside him.
"Come come come, brothers, don't be idle. Eat and drink when you need to. Let's chat while having fun!"
Chen Qiang called out. The tramps glanced at the old man until he was the first to take the roast chicken. Then, they swarmed in front of the roast chicken.
It seemed that the old man's prestige among these tramps had been established.
"Old man, I was stranded here that day. It was thanks to you guys that I was taken in. Otherwise, I might have starved to death somewhere."
After drinking a mouthful of wine, Chen Qiang opened his mouth.
"Hehe, little brother, speaking of which, when you came here that day, you were considered an outsider. According to the old rules, we won't easily accept you if you don't go through physical pain.
However, I didn't expect that you were born with such a tough bone in your body. The clubs in our hands were all broken when we hit you, but you still didn't have a scratch on you!
Why don't you tell us, who among us would dare to provoke you?
So, it's not that we want to entertain you, but that we can't afford to offend you. Everyone, tell me, am I right? "
"Haha, yes, you're right. The old man is right. Little brother, how did you train your muscles? Don't tell me you were a soldier?"
After everyone laughed and laughed for a while, the old man continued, "But, to be honest, little brother, you're really our lucky star!
If it wasn't for you, how could we be free for more than ten days? How could our lives have improved?
So, little brother, from what I see, you were born to be one of us.
From what I see, little brother, you'd better come back.
Although our life here is a little sloppy, it's better to be free! "
With the old man's encouragement, the other tramps also followed suit. This time, Gong Xue 'er was scared out of her wits.
It wasn't easy for her to find Chen Qiang from the tramps' nest. If he really came back, wouldn't President Fu be anxious to death?!
No wonder Director Chen bought so many good things today. It turned out that he missed the life here!
No!
He definitely couldn't let Chen Qiang go back to his old way!
