Siheyuan works as a nanny for Shazhu

Banggeng looked at his fleshy body and realized that Jia Zhang's life had not been easy in the past few years. Since Qin Huairu stopped helping, he had to do everything at home by himself. He didn't dare to count on Liu Xiaocui for everything. Now she was just a dark and thin old lady, and when she went out and dressed up, she looked like a pitiful person.

Jia Zhang didn't know that she had been targeted in just a few days. There were people outside who had already started doing this business. This kind of mobile begging was originally ignored, and people thought that the person would leave in a short time. However, after a few days, he would come back again and be kept on guard for a few days. This person was mobile, but he only moved to crowded places.

The big brother over there arranged people to follow them for several days and even found out where Jia Zhang lived. Only Jia Zhang knew nothing. However, they could even roughly estimate her daily income.

The next day, Jia Zhang went back to work. At noon, she wanted to change her place, but she was surrounded by people. A middle-aged man in his forties said, "Our eldest brother wants to see you. Come with him."

"I don't know any big brother, I won't go. There are so many people here, aren't you afraid that they will arrest you?"

"You don't have to go, but don't even think about coming here again. We all know where you live, and we're here to have a good talk with you. Don't worry, even if we can't come to an agreement, at most we won't let you come here, and we won't do anything to you."

Jia Zhang saw that these people were easy to talk to, so she replied, "Okay, I'll go with you, but with so many people watching, if anything happens to me, you guys won't be able to escape."

"Don't worry, everyone is here to make money. If anyone wants to find a job, if we can come to an agreement, we will all be brothers and sisters in the future, and we will have someone to look after us here."

After saying that, he turned around and walked into an alley. After turning a few corners, he came to a seemingly abandoned house. The man walked in with Jia Zhang and greeted the people who followed him, saying, "Everyone go and get busy. There's no need to follow me. There's plenty of business outside."

Seeing that most people had left, Jia Zhang was relieved and followed them into the house. Inside sat a burly man with a full beard. The person who led the way came forward and said, "Master Ma, the person has been brought back. It's her."

Master Ma looked up at Jia Zhang, who was just an ordinary old woman, but her face looked cunning, and her eyes moved from side to side, so she was not an honest person. He asked, "Old man, do you know what you have to do to make a living here?"

"Master Ma, I just got here too and I don't understand these rules. Master Ma, please tell me."

Master Ma shook his head and winked at the man, who stood up and said, "This is Master Ma, my name is Wang Si, the rules are very simple, if you want to beg for food here, you must first pay your respects to Master Ma, and hand over 5% of your daily income. Master Ma will then divide up the territory for you and keep you safe."

"Fifty percent, isn't that a bit high? They only charged me 40 percent when I was there before. But I don't come out every day, so I didn't agree."

"This is the rule here. If you don't want to, we won't force you. But you don't have to come here. If you dare to come, I have plenty of ways to deal with you."

"I just don't believe it. I'm just an old woman. What can you do to me? Beating and injuring people is against the law. Aren't you afraid of the police?"

Wang Si smiled and said, "I won't do anything to you. I'll tell you the same thing. Once you come here, there will be three or four people around you, doing the same thing as you. I want to see how much you can earn in a day. Also, be careful on your way home."

"Don't mess around, Master Ma. Look at me, an old woman with a disabled grandson at home. Please be kind and charge less. Leave some food for us."

Hearing this, Ma Ye sat up straight. It was good to be disabled. If he collected the money and went to other places, the money he would get would be much more. He said to Wang Si, "She has a grandson at home. Why didn't I hear you tell me about it? Old woman, how did your grandson become disabled? Is he missing an arm or a leg?"

"No, I was beaten. The doctor said it's incurable. One of my legs is disabled and I can only walk with crutches."

"Oh, old woman, the 40% you mentioned is not impossible, but you have to bring your grandson along, which can be considered as giving him a chance. Now that he is a cripple, he still has a chance to make money."

"It's true, but my grandson has never suffered such hardship. Master Ma, can you charge less? I can buy him some delicious food to nourish his body."

"Old woman, don't push your luck. Master Ma is pitying you. If you don't want to, don't blame us for being rude when we see you again tomorrow."

"Yes, yes. This way I don't have to run around. Thank you, Master Ma. But my grandson has to wait a few days. I take good care of him at home. He is white and plump. I can't get any money for this."

"Well, Wang Si, go with her and take a look. If it's the same as what she said, I have an idea. You rent the house over there, right? Move over to live with me. Then you'll be one of us and the rent will be waived."

Jia Zhang looked around, and Wang Si said, "How many people want to live here but don't have the chance. This is because Master Ma thinks highly of you. Don't worry, he will clean up a room for you. It will be able to shelter you from the wind and rain."

Jia Zhang knew that this person wanted to take her here, so he definitely had no good intentions, so she said, "No, no, it's just a small amount of money, and I've already paid the rent, and they won't refund it. I'm fine living there."

Wang Si said, "It's okay. I'll talk to the landlord and I'll refund the money I paid. When you get here, you'll have your own house. There's no need to rent someone else's house. It'll be like home when you get here."

"Yes, don't worry, I have a lot of houses here, but not everyone can live in them. Okay, Wang Si, take your people over and go with this lady. Oh, by the way, what's her name?"

Jia Zhang looked at the two of them and decided on the matter. She said hurriedly, "My last name is Zhang, and my husband's last name is Jia. I think it's more convenient to live there. My grandson is not in good health, so it's convenient to live there either way."

Wang Sili ignored what Jia Zhang said and went out to call for help. Master Ma continued, "Aunt Zhang, it's great to move here. Except for the main house here, you can choose any other one. Don't worry, I guarantee you will live comfortably."

"No, we won't move, Master Ma. I'm living well over there. Why should I move? Master Ma, if you insist on moving, then I won't join you, and I won't come here anymore."

Master Ma's expression changed immediately: "Oh, you are kidding me, you think this is a place where you can join if you want to and leave if you don't want to, I tell you, you have to move in today, just wait and see if you don't believe me."

Seeing that the man had turned his face, Jia Zhang thought to herself, if I hadn't come here, what could you do to me? She turned around and rushed out. Ma Ye just sat there without moving. As soon as Jia Zhang walked out of the yard, she saw two people guarding the gate, with playful smiles on their faces.

Only then did Jia Zhang realize that she had entered a den of thieves. These people looked easy to talk to, but they were actually trying to trick people into joining them. Once they really got in, she didn't know what would happen. She started shouting and screaming in panic. The two men looked at each other, and Master Ma heard the noise outside and came out.

He looked at Jia Zhang and said, "If you want to leave, just go. No one will stop you." After saying that, he waved his hand, and the two people at the door made way.

Master Ma waved his hand and stood at the door looking at Jia Zhang. Jia Zhang didn't know whether what the man said was true or not. She looked at him and walked out the door. She walked out of the gate and looked back. They were all standing there, but they all had smiles on their faces.

Jia Zhang was panicked and walked hurriedly towards home. As she walked, she thought that she would never come here again. When she saw the gate of her own courtyard, she finally felt relieved. When she reached the door, she looked back and saw a beggar standing at the entrance of the alley, looking at her.

Jia Zhang hurriedly turned around and went to the yard. Now these people have learned to be smart. If something really happens, this territory will be lost and they will definitely have to run away. But if something happens to you somewhere else, you can't say it has anything to do with me. Anyway, everyone knows where you live.

Jia Zhang hurried back to the house, sat in the house and drank a sip of water. She went into the house to check on Bang Geng, who was still lying on the bed. Seeing Jia Zhang coming back so early, she asked in surprise, "Grandma, why are you back so early?"

"Don't mention it. I was scared to death today. I was stopped by someone. Luckily, that person didn't do anything to me. But I don't think I can go there anymore."

"If you don't want to go, then don't go. What's the big deal? Didn't you say you go to several places a day? It doesn't matter if you miss one place."

"No, how could they let me come back so easily? Banggeng, let me tell you and see if it's right." After saying that, Jia Zhang told Banggeng what happened today.

After hearing this, Banggeng slapped the bed and started to complain: "Grandma, 40% is not bad. Why did you run away? If you had a fixed place, maybe the income would be higher."

"You must have lost your mind after sleeping so much. They want us to move over. We'll be living in a beggar's den from now on. And they only agreed to charge 40% after hearing that you're disabled. Think about what's wrong."

"Grandma, you have to think it over. Didn't that person say that everyone knows where you live? Did you see anyone following you when you came back? Now they will hate you. What does it matter where you live? As long as we can share the money, it's fine. We can also save on rent."

"No, Banggeng, that's not the case. It was only after I told him that my grandson had bad legs and feet that he agreed to 40% and also suggested that we move in. There must be a problem. At the beginning, he insisted on 50%."

Bang Geng thought about the difference between himself and other people, and said, "Grandma, do you think it is easier for disabled people to get sympathy when they beg for food?"

"Yes, I think that's what he was thinking. Maybe you earn more, so he agreed to reduce his share. But I'm worried that he insisted on having us live there. Is he trying to control you and make money for him?"
