Source Of Calamity - CH 50
At 7 o’clock in the morning, Shen Zhen left home. As soon as he closed the door, he saw Shen Li pushing Shen Yun and Shen Mu out.
Shen Li said while pushing them out, “Go, get out, go find your Little Brother Su, eating my food and living in my home and telling me to apologize to Su Shiqing, have your heads been kicked by a donkey? If he is so good, why doesn’t he give you money, why doesn’t he find a place for you to live?”
Shen Yun pushed Shen Li’s hand aside, and said righteously: “Shi Qing doesn’t have any, but you do.”
Shen Li: “Bah, I don’t have any either. Su Shiqing lives and eats off the Chu family, and I live and eat off Elder Brother.”
Shen Yun: “Elder Brother?”
At this time, Shen Li saw Shen Zhen going out, and hurriedly shouted: “Elder Brother! Here are two mangy dogs!”
Shen Zhen: “…..”
It turned out that Shen Li saw that Shen Yun and Shen Mu were really too pitiful, so he went to the street to look for them. It took him a whole day yesterday to find them. According to Shen Li’s thinking, he would bring Shen Yun and Shen Mu to his place to wash up, take a bath, change clothes, give them a thousand yuan, and then do some ideological work on them to have them find a job and support themselves.
Because Shen Li’s pocket money had been cut off by Shen Zhen, what he was using now was the salary paid by the company.
Shen Li was now an intern, his monthly salary was limited, and he had always lived extravagantly, so this thousand yuan was indeed saved by him with difficulty.
It was a pity that Shen Yun and Shen Mu obviously didn’t appreciate it. They thought that Shen Li was their younger brother, so what belonged to Shen Li belonged to them.
As soon as they arrived at the place where Shen Zhen let Shen Li stay, they immediately acted as if they were the owners of the house. After taking a bath and eating, they naturally stayed. Shen Li found out early in the morning that they hadn’t left last night as planned. They had barely even spoken when Shen Yun and Shen Mu began to do ideological work in reverse.
“You shouldn’t have treated Shi Qing like that.” Shen Yun pocketed his younger brother’s money and accused Shen Li, “You are just a child throwing a tantrum, can’t you be more mature? You should apologize if you say something wrong.”
Shen Mu’s words were similar: “Xiao Li, you should have repented by now, so go with us to find Shi Qing, apologize to Shi Qing, and we will go home together.”
Then…..Shen Li, who was furious and angry, began to drive away Shen Yun and Shen Mu.
His kindness was fed to the dogs.
Shen Li ran to Shen Zhen’s side and scolded his two elder brothers angrily: “Eldest Brother gave me this place to live in, it’s not mine. Eldest Brother is paying for me. I won’t apologize to Su Shiqing, and Eldest Brother will not force me to go. But you two?”
Shen Yun snorted: “Of course he won’t let you go, he hopes that us brothers will turn against each other, he is trying to win you over.”
Shen Li: “Oh, I just like being won over by Eldest Brother, I am living very comfortably. I shouldn’t have brought you over, get out, get out.”
“Shen Li!” Shen Yun roared, “Do you know how your Second Brother and I have living recently? If it weren’t for you, would we have been kicked out by Dad?”
Shen Li: “…..” This was the legendary reversal of black and white, right?
Shen Mu also said in response: “Do you know how angry Dad is? He also said that we do not have brotherly affection, Xiao Li, you are already at this age, you should be sensible.”
Shen Li had already given up arguing with them. He moved to Shen Zhen’s side, and said timidly: “Eldest Brother, can you make them return my thousand yuan, it took me a long time to save it.”
Shen Zhen really didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
Shen Zhen pushed Shen Li’s head away, and said to him: “Take care of your own troubles. If they don’t leave, you can leave with them.”
Shen Li’s expression changed instantly.
He was in Shen Zhen’s territory now, yet Shen Yun and Shen Mu were already persecuting him like this. If he really left with Shen Yun and Shen Mu, then wouldn’t he…..be at the bottom of the food chain again?
He was very happy here, no one preached in his ears every day, and there was no Su Shiqing to be an eyesore. Although he had to go to work, since he got acquainted with his senior, his senior didn’t yell at him as much, and sometimes even praised him for being smart, such that Shen Li felt like walking on cloud nine. When he was hungry, he went over to Shen Zhen’s for a meal. Other than it not being as convenient to buy things——-because he had no money, he didn’t feel that his daily life was much different from that at home.
In fact, he felt more freedom.
“This is not my apartment.” The rusty wheels turned in Shen Li’s head, “If you don’t leave, I’ll call the security guard, I really will!”
Shen Yun and Shen Mu looked at him as he was mentally retarded.
Shen Li: “You don’t believe it, do you? I’ll show you right now.”
After saying so, he called the property management.
Shen Yun and Shen Mu still stood motionless at the door, they didn’t believe that Shen Li would really drive them away.
After sleeping on the streets for so many days, Shen Yun and Shen Mu didn’t want to live that kind of life again. They have been waiting at the doors of people they knew recently, waiting for others to come home, and ask for some money. But they didn’t expect Shen Fu to give each family a call, and the friends in the past now said that they were helpless, that they dared not withdraw money from the account, so they could only give them the change they had on hand.
Few people carried cash now, so Shen Yun and Shen Mu often couldn’t get much money, sometimes they were lucky to even get a few hundred yuan.
But the second time they went to find their friends, the friends stopped giving them any money. They also had reasons, fearing that Shen Fu would retaliate if he found out.
The two of them survived for so many days on a few hundred yuan.
They still remember their friends looking at them as if they were beggars.
But Shen Li was different, Shen Li was their own younger brother, it was impossible for Shen Li to drive them away, and it was also partly Shen Li’s reason why they were driven out of the Shen family. Although this younger brother was not particularly obedient, he was not a very cruel person.
Shen Yun and Shen Mu were confident.
However——
The security team rushed up. The residents in this building were all rich and affluent. They dare not offend any of them. Compared with their peers, their wages were much higher. For the sake of wages and bonuses, they should be professional and dedicated.
“Drive them away, they are not my guests.” Shen Li pointed at Shen Yun and Shen Mu.
The security guards walked over. They were all tall and big, and they looked quite intimidating when they moved together.
Shen Yun and Shen Mu’s eyes widened: “What are you doing, we are his elder brothers!”
The captain of the security guards spoke righteously: “Not even relatives, we only listen to the residents and owners.”
“This way, please.” The security captain said, “If you don’t move, we can only help you to move.”
Shen Yun and Shen Mu: “We won’t leave!”
——Ten minutes later.
Shen Yun and Shen Mu were carried away by two strong security guards.
Pampered and spoiled since childhood, they have average physical fitness. They didn’t even like sports or go to the gym.
“Shen Li! I’m your elder brother!”
Shen Li replied: “I know, I will still call you brother when we meet in the future.”
After being carried into the elevator, Shen Yun and Shen Mu finally became quiet.
Shen Li also complained: “If I knew it earlier, I wouldn’t be full of sympathy, my one thousand yuan!”
He really saved for a long time! Shen Zhen’s company was not big yet, and the salaries of regular employees were not high, let alone interns.
Shen Li didn’t even dare to buy snacks recently, and managed to save a thousand, and now like throwing a meat bun at a dog, it was gone forever.
Shen Zhen looked at Shen Li’s deflated look, held back a smile and said, “Let’s go, let’s go to work together.”
Shen Li was taken aback: “Doesn’t work start at nine o’clock? It’s only half past seven! It only takes 20 minutes to get to the company from here.”
Shen Zhen: “You are right.”
Shen Li breathed a sigh of relief, ready to go back to sleep for a bit longer.
Shen Zhen: “But this reasoning didn’t convince me, let’s go.”
After finishing speaking, Shen Zhen walked to the elevator entrance. Shen Li looked at the elevator, and then at his open apartment door. After thinking twice, he closed the door, walked to Shen Zhen, and waited for the elevator together.
“Eldest Brother, this is your car.” Shen Li looked at the motorcycle, nearly drooling, “It’s so cool.”
He had always wanted to buy one, but Shen Fu refused to buy it for him, thinking that such a vehicle had a low safety factor, and Shen Li couldn’t save his own money, so he could only look at motorcycles and sigh.
Shen Zhen glanced at Shen Li, gave him a look of “you have good taste”, and handed Shen Li a helmet: “Put it on, and I will take you to the company.”
Shen Li: “Really!”
He immediately put on the helmet.
After Shen Zhen mounted his motorcycle, he told Shen Li to get on behind him: “Hold on tight, I won’t be responsible if you fall off.”
Feeling that he was about to start his life of racing and experience speed and passion, Shen Li hugged Shen Zhen tightly, even taking the time to think in his heart that hugging Eldest Brother’s waist was really comfortable.
However——
“Eldest Brother, can we speed up?” Shen Li asked with a conflicted expression.
Shen Zhen: “I’m already fast.”
Shen Li: “Just now a scooter overtook us.”
Shen Zhen: “He must be speeding.”
Shen Li: “…..The scooter has a speed limit.”
Shen Zhen: “He must have modified it.”
…..
Shen Li: “I think I saw a bicycle pass us.”
Shen Zhen: “He must have installed a battery secretly.”
Shen Li: “…..Eldest Brother, we are going to be late.”
Shen Zhen parked his motorcycle at an empty spot on the side of the road, looked at his watch, and then started up his motorcycle again: “It’s still half an hour until nine o’clock.”
Shen Li had a complicated face: “We left at seven o’clock.”
A distance that usually took no more than 20 minutes by cab took Shen Zhen nearly an hour to travel.
Shen Zhen also said seriously: “Don’t talk while driving.”
Shen Li: “…..” All right, I shut up, I don’t want to experience the feeling of being overtaken by a bicycle again in my life.
In a small alley, Shen Yun and Shen Mu took out the 1,000 yuan that Shen Li gave them, and decided to stay in an inn for a few days, instead of sleeping on the streets. The small inn in the alley was not hygienic, and a single room for one night cost fifty yuan. The building did not meet regulations either, and the bathroom was shared on the first floor.
The former Shen Yun and Shen Mu would have scoffed at such an inn.
But now, it was already lucky to live in such a place.
It was just that a lot of small cards would be stuffed into the cracks of the door every night. It was common for Shen Mu to spend hundreds of thousands or two hundred thousand a night when he went to certain places, but now he didn’t even dare to make a call on the number printed on the small card which only cost 100 yuan a night.
Standing at the door of the small inn, Shen Mu asked Shen Yun: “What did we do wrong?”
Shen Yun: “…..I don’t know either.”
They didn’t feel that they have done anything wrong, so they didn’t understand why they should be punished.
