Ultimate Supreme Soldier King

Chapter 1171 1669: Shantytown



"This, this is too much." The old man became somewhat flustered.

After all, Lin Xi's clothes were all high-end.

Just giving him one piece, he already felt very embarrassed.

And now Lin Xi wanted to give him all of it.

"B-big girl, if you give everything to me, what will you wear?"

"It's alright, sir, just take them. I don't really have any use for these anyway, and I have plenty more..."

As she spoke, Lin Xi's gaze became a bit dim.

She owned a clothing company, so naturally, she had many clothes.

In fact, more than ever before.

Yimena hadn't received any orders for months, but the factory hadn't completely shut down.

New products were continuously being made.

On top of that, there was previous stock.

Now, the warehouse at Yimena.

Was probably at a bursting point.

The clothes in her car were just the tip of the iceberg.

These were just some samples she made on a whim.

"Then, should I give you money?" The sanitation worker took a plastic bag out of his pocket.

Carefully, he opened it.

It contained a heap of money.

Mostly ten and twenty bills.

Only one hundred-yuan note.

And many one and five-yuan coins.

There were even a few dimes.

Seeing the sanitation worker's hands, red from the cold and dark, Lin Xi and Su Chen both felt a pang in their noses.

Undoubtedly.

These sanitation workers lived at the very bottom of society.

A snowstorm had immersed almost everyone in Jiangdu City in the beautiful snowy scenery.

But, there were always some people.

Who didn't hope for snow.

Like this sanitation worker.

In such cold weather, most people were still sleeping in their beds, yet he was out shoveling snow.

Beside the sanitation worker, there were also some discarded cardboard boxes.

These were things others threw away.

The sanitation worker collected them.

Then sold them to the recycling station.

One or two dimes per kilogram.

That's probably how those small-denomination bills came about.

"Big girl, I know this isn't enough money, but it's all I have, don't think it's too little..." The sanitation worker trembled as he handed over the money.

"Well... alright." Lin Xi could tell that although the old man lived a very poor life, he didn't like taking advantage of others.

However, Lin Xi didn't take all the money but drew one note from it.

"This is enough." Lin Xi smiled, waving the one-yuan note in her hand.

The banknote was crumpled.

And a bit dirty.

Normally, if it fell to the ground, Lin Xi wouldn't pick it up.

But now, she found it very precious.

Because, for this one yuan.

The sanitation worker must have collected quite a bit of waste paper and sold many cardboard boxes.

Lin Xi carefully put the one yuan into her pocket.

Upon seeing this, the sanitation worker's eyes became wet.

He obviously knew, Lin Xi's clothes couldn't be bought for just one yuan.

"Big girl, you truly are a good person... Thank you, I'll take these clothes back and share them with my neighbors, they need them too." The sanitation worker no longer refused.

"Hey, come over here and help me." Lin Xi tried to lift two large bags of clothes from the car's trunk but found she couldn't move them.

"Honey, even if you get them down, the old man won't be able to carry them." Su Chen said.

Lin Xi agreed.

These two large bags were heavy even for a strong man.

Let alone a skinny sanitation worker.

"Then... sir, where do you live? I'll drive them to your place directly." Lin Xi said to the sanitation worker.

"W-would that be too much?"

"It's no trouble, sir, we have nothing else to do anyway."

"But, I still have work to finish here..." The old man looked troubled.

"No worries, we'll help you."

Then, Lin Xi and Su Chen joined in helping the old man clear the snow.

With Su Chen and Lin Xi's help, the speed increased significantly.

Yet it still took over two hours to complete.

If it had been just the sanitation worker alone, it might have taken the whole morning.

"So tired." As the last patch of snow was dealt with, Lin Xi was already out of breath.

Su Chen didn't feel much.

After all, this was child's play for his stamina.

"Sir, can we go now?" Lin Xi asked.

The sanitation worker was still hesitant.

After all, Lin Xi's car was so pricey, he was scared of dirtying it.

But Lin Xi didn't care and forcibly pulled the old man into the car, along with his cleaning tools.

"Sir, tell us where to go."

Following the old man's directions, Lin Xi drove to the shantytown.

This was the poorest area in Jiangdu City.

The only undeveloped area in Jiangdu City.

The so-called shantytown usually referred to places concentrated with simple and shoddy housing.

Lack of city planning led to scattered, disjointed yards, with skewed roads, dead ends, curved paths, simple structures, poor disaster resistance, crowded living spaces, lack of roadways, no green gardens, and no public activity spaces, with houses that were poorly lit and ventilated.

It's no wonder the sanitation worker lived here.

After all, their income couldn't possibly buy a house in Jiangdu City.

Everywhere, there was all sorts of domestic garbage.

The houses were very basic.

Some were even just built with planks.

These kinds of houses were freezing in winter and sweltering in summer.

And there was no air conditioning.

Even if there were, no one would dare to use it.

Heating, even less so.

Summers would be swelteringly hot.

Winters would be freezing.

Thankfully, the climate in Jiangdu City.

Was relatively mild.

Not as extreme as other places.

Winters weren't too cold.

Summers weren't too hot.

So at least they could get through it.

Now, this unexpected snowfall.

Disrupted many people's lives.

After all, snow in Jiangdu City was rare.

And it wasn't even winter yet.

Many people hadn't even prepared their winter clothes.

Coupled with such an environment.

It's just.

Initially, Lin Xi had hoped that the snow would continue falling.

But now, she wished for it to stop immediately.

Otherwise, how hard it would be for these people.

Once she entered the shantytown.

She saw many people's homes were drafty on all sides.

Those who were better off could use space heaters.

And even then, they were reluctant to turn them up all the way.

A whole family, several people, crowded into a small ten-square-meter room, huddled around a space heater.

Shivering from the cold.

And that was considered good.

After all, those willing to use a space heater were slightly better off.

Many people, couldn't even afford to use one.
