Hearing the name of the hydraulic company he was going to investigate, Leon's expression sank slightly, and then he quickly realized that this must be the same coincidence as his "Lian", it was just that one had a different last name and another had a different first name. . This familiar company name evoked memories, and thinking of the hundreds of patients still lying in the corridors of the hospital, and the painful screams he heard in the corridors when he went to see Anna, most of Leon's good mood suddenly dissipated. . I definitely cannot afford the medical expenses for hundreds of people. After the public water pipe incident, the price of antidiarrheal medicine in the old city increased more than fifty times, and the special supplements that can treat this epidemic are even more expensive. It will cost you a lot. A year's salary can't buy many. Although there are only four to five hundred patients on the Red Brick Road side, these are severe cases with unbearable abdominal pain. The real number of residents in the old city affected is at least tens of thousands, and there are countless patients who cannot afford to pay and are still struggling. The only good thing is that the disease this time is not highly contagious. As long as you don’t come into direct contact with excrement and vomitus, or stay in a closed space where these things evaporate in large quantities, you will basically not contract the disease. Most people are still safe. of. But the trouble is that this disease caused by dirty water seems to be difficult to cure on its own. At the very least, it requires an injection of alchemy supplements. Considering the income level of people in the old city, not many people can afford alchemy. tonic. And the only way I can think of to solve this problem is to find evidence that Char Water Power Company and the Ministry of Highways have failed in their duties, and then report it to higher levels in the kingdom, or provide information to big newspapers that are not afraid of trouble. Make the matter bigger and force them to pay for the medicine! Also, if it turns out that it still can't be solved... "guest?" Looking at Leon, who suddenly fell into deep thought after hearing his name, and his expression became uncertain, the profiteer boss couldn't help but raise his eyebrows in surprise, and then whispered:
"Guest, your meal is ready, please give me a half copper wheel." "oh oh!" After hearing the call of the profiteer boss, Leon came back to his senses and said "oh" twice. Then he stretched out his hand to take out the money and shook his head with an unsightly expression: "I'm sorry, your name reminds me of something... Also, you are older than my father, so it's not good to call you by your first name. I'd better call you uncle!" "Haha, OK, you are willing to call me uncle who runs a small stall, so why shouldn't I agree?" After bringing the coffee and the plate with bread, looking at Lyon, who was a little thin and probably two years younger than his daughter, the owner of the coffee stall smiled kindly, and then pulled up a lame stool and sat down. Next to him, Wen Sheng asked: "Since you call me uncle, I'd like to ask you a few questions. When I mentioned Char Company just now, your expression didn't seem very good... Was there anything unpleasant that happened between you and that company?" ?" "Well... that's right..." After a slight hesitation, Leon did not say that he was going to investigate the Char Water Company, but instead talked about Anna's injury due to the "gas pipeline explosion". I see...you are the one who refuses to pay compensation. "Then it's really not easy for your family." After listening to Leon's words, the old man at the coffee stall couldn't help but blinked, then sighed and said: "Your sister is obviously still ill, and yet she encounters such an unfortunate thing again... Well, as long as you call me uncle these two times, from now on, as long as you come to my place to order something, I will give you half the price, no matter what you order. Are you happy or not?” ? ? ? Ah, this...is my uncle's voice so effective? Looking at the coffee stall owner opposite who suddenly burst out with sympathy, Leon couldn't help but raise his eyebrows in surprise, a little overwhelmed by this sudden kindness. However, before he could figure out how to ask, the profiteer in front of him smiled honestly, returned half of the copper wheel, and added: "Of course, since you call me uncle, remember to come to my place often and take care of my uncle's business!" "..."
I understand, when I call you uncle, it is equivalent to applying for a membership card at your house, right? Good guy, if I were the kind of person who couldn't keep my reputation, no matter how cheap other stalls are, I would probably have to be half-locked to your stall this time. If I went to another place for breakfast in front of you, I guess I felt guilty for at least half a week... You have worked so hard to retain customers, and you really deserve the money you make! Understanding that this was probably another trick to attract customers, Leon smiled and didn't say much, but just accepted. After all, although this coffee stall is more expensive, it is indeed the most comfortable among all the stalls on this street. Now that he is willing to give a preferential price in order to develop himself into a regular customer, of course he has no reason to refuse. After eating the bread and ham slices in three mouthfuls, and saying goodbye to the cheap uncle he had just recognized, Leon, who felt warm from the inside out, re-wrapped the scarf Anna knitted by herself, and walked into the cold late autumn morning again. Cold wind. After he left, a regular customer by the fire who was watching the excitement came over with a cup of coffee, winking and joking: "Old Charles! I have been drinking coffee at your stall for seven or eight years, but I have never seen you, a tough guy, take the initiative to lower the price! Why did you change your gender today? Could it be that your daughter has never been able to get married, and you are eager to find a son-in-law and plan to get acquainted with the young man first? " "Haha, what's going on~ I just got along well with that young man. Seeing that he might be in financial difficulty recently, I took care of him a little bit, so that he could take care of my business more. " Waving his hand to indicate that you were overthinking, the owner of the coffee stall looked at Leon's back and said with a smile: "But it's not completely impossible. I think that young man should be quite good. Although he is a little thin, he is not short and looks pretty. And look at the direction he is going. There are only those office buildings in the municipal district in front of him, so he should have a proper job. Moreover, he has always been polite even to me, a street coffee seller... um... a good kid. " Thinking about the other situations he heard from his daughter Amy, the owner of the coffee stall raised his eyebrows slightly, chatted with the regular customers for a few more words, and then sat back in his chair, looking up at the dark canvas roof of the coffee stall, and stroking the gray stubble on his chin thoughtfully. People always like to hide themselves when facing familiar people and environments. Only when faced with temptations that are within reach, and those strangers who are not as good as themselves and have almost no intersection, will they be unable to help but reveal a little bit. The things that this child unconsciously revealed are quite rare... well... gentle and polite, serious and down-to-earth, and his mind is also quite awake. If Amy likes him, then I really have no reason to object... But the problem is that our family does not accept marrying a wife, but only accepts marrying into the family. I don't know if he can agree? ... Not knowing that he was included in the son-in-law inspection list, after braving the cold wind to rush to the cleaning bureau, Leon just opened his office When I opened the door of the room, I saw the new anomaly mentioned by the red-haired director - a black broom floating in the air. [Name: Lazy Witch's Rental Broom (Depravity, Flight, Protection)] [Appearance: A hardwood broom painted black, with a small amount of crow feather pendants hanging on the top.
