Stand-in Messenger of Marvel World

Chapter 8 Chinatown

"Then. Happy cooperation!"

"Happy cooperation!"

. . . . . . . . .

After bidding farewell to Edward with a smile on his face, Dio and Will got back into the second-hand Chevrolet and left without speaking.

It wasn't until entering New York City that Will regained his chattering nature and asked, "Where are you going? Back to the restaurant or?"

Dio was silent for a while, and then said in a slightly low tone: "Go home!"

Dior's family of three is also in Chinatown, only two streets away from their small restaurant. Since it is in Manhattan with the notorious "Hell's Kitchen", the security is of course not good, but Chinatown is at the south end. City, while 'Hell's Kitchen' is in West Midtown.

Recalling the memories he got, Dior knew that his British father came to eat at the restaurant jointly run by his mother and family because of a coincidence, that is, it was love at first sight in the small restaurant left to him.

Then, in order to be able to be together, Dior's father gave up his great future and broke up with his family in the UK, willing to stay in the mixed Chinatown and run a small restaurant with Dior's mother.

In my memory, Dior's father is a very funny and humorous gentleman, but he still has the stubbornness and pride of the British in his bones, and he can't rub the sand in his eyes, so that he has turned against many people.

And don't think that in Chinatown, the Chinese are really a big family that loves each other, isn't it a dream?
What can't be done at home, can it be done abroad?

Perhaps at first it was really helping each other and encouraging each other to survive in this foreign land, but as Chinatown expanded, it now includes 45 streets, with a total area of ​​more than 4 square kilometers, and a total of more than 80 Chinese people. Existing in this land, the so-called 'group' has also changed its nature.

Not to mention the fact that there are many gangs, such things as stabbing in the back and fighting in the nest have become common. Maybe the Chinese who just came here don’t have deep feelings, but Dior, who has inherited the memory of living here for more than 20 years, knows it well. How terrible it is for the 'folks' to play hard.

In fact, if you think about why the expansion is so fast, you will know. It is impossible not to annex other districts. There are more and more Chinese coming to the United States, and when they come, they will rush to find them in the name of Chinatown. There are a lot of black households here, what should I do?
There are more and more people, and there are restaurants and convenience stores run by Chinese everywhere. Under the competition, who can make a lot of money?

Let me just tell you the most real thing. A fellow villager who just arrived in New York planned to open a convenience store in Chinatown. As a result, the store opened, but every day, a large number of gangsters came to collect protection money. There is a second one. There are at least dozens of well-known gangs in Chinatown, and countless small gangs. Who can give it?
And they are all a group of guys who take money and do nothing. Finally, the fellow was forced to say, I paid money to the XX gang, why do I have to pay?

People just said, you paid money to the XX gang but didn't pay us, you look down on us, right?
The fellow was angry and refused to give, but the next day, gang members came to rob with guns, okay, don’t give it, then we will get it ourselves!
In the end, the store couldn't continue to open, and the fellow returned home in despair.

This incident seems to be an issue of law and order in the United States, but the group of "old people" in Chinatown are all clear about it. This is offending people, and someone is behind the scenes. Crashed.

Later, someone inquired and found out that the owner of the convenience store next door was behind the scenes. It is said that the owner of the convenience store next to him was from his hometown, and he even gave flower baskets with a smile on the opening day.
Therefore, Chinatown is not as good as the Chinese people imagined. There are warm-hearted good people, and naturally there is no shortage of bad people. (Old Faceless is talking about real people and real stories. There are relatives in the United States. The water here is very deep. Just remind everyone.)
. . . . . . . . . .

Just when Dior fell into memory, Will turned left and right and came to an old building. It is said that Dior's grandpa's grandpa lived here. To this day, it is not known whether it is true or not.

"Go up?"

"Wait, wait until I finish smoking this cigarette."

When the car window came down, Dio threw one to Will, then lit one for himself, and just stared outside in a daze.

Although the soul in the body has changed, the memory of 'Dior' itself for more than 20 years is not false, and there is no need to distinguish it so clearly, so when this time really comes, Dior is a little hesitant.

It's time for a cigarette soon.

"Let's go."

Pushing open the car door, stomping out the cigarette butts, Dio and Will went upstairs.

During this period, many people greeted Dior, and the meaning behind the words made him feel sad. Be careful, as for how many of these people are sincere, and how many of them are pretending to be a spectator. Unknown.

I took out the key and opened the door. There still seemed to be a smell of gas inside. There was also a layer of dust on the ground and the table, which looked extremely dilapidated.

How could such a small nest fail to detect the smell of gas and fall asleep?
Not to mention that Dior's parents still run restaurants, so they should pay more attention to the hidden dangers in this regard.

However, this is only a suspicion, and the police have also come, but the sentence of 'illegal modification of the gas pipeline' closed the case.

Without him, it’s just a feature of Chinatown, because the old Americans generally don’t know how to use gas to cook. Many Chinese made a lot of jokes when they first came to the United States. What an exaggerated joke.

In the house, after turning around alone, Dior came out.

"Don't you live here?"

"Well, after looking around, I found that the only thing worth taking away is this photo album, and the rest can be left here." Dior smiled lightly and raised the photo album in his hand, which recorded the family of three over the years Bit by bit, so he was ready to take away.

Will nodded indifferently, and then asked, "Then where are you going to live? Are you renting a house? I still have land there."

"Thanks, but I'm going to live in the hotel for a while, and by the way, I'm going to be ready to open." Dio immediately rejected Will's proposal. There will be gang members running over, even if he doesn't have any cleanliness, he doesn't despise him, the best friend of the gang, but that's not the case after all.

And after burying his parents, he will be ready to start his money-making business, and there is nothing wrong with living in a restaurant during this time.
