The tram station is a distance from Wang Defu's residence. As you walk there, you will pass by the university.

Speaking of which, he has been in this era for so long, and has never taken a tram, and he has no memory of taking a tram in his mind. It seems that Wang Defu, the young master of the landlord family, is not used to the crowded public transportation, which shows that he is basically not short of money.

In this era when cars were not yet popular, trams were like buses in later generations, and rickshaws were naturally equivalent to taxis.

Later generations were at the entrance of the university, and it was very convenient to call a taxi. This was the case in this era. Near Soochow University, where there were many rich students, there were also many rickshaw drivers waiting to pull the cart. They even took the initiative to ask students if they wanted to take a ride.

Wang Defu originally wanted to take the tram, which was cheap and was also more humane. If he had no memory of the future, he might still be able to take a rickshaw without any grudges, but with the memory of the future, he would clearly feel like he treated people as livestock, which was not good.

However, at this moment, a young rickshaw driver appeared in his sight. The boy's clothes were just a worn cotton jacket and a black felt hat. He looked extremely thin. He rubbed his hands and breathed, and shivered.

After seeing this, Wang Defu felt a little reluctant. He took Wang Mo'er toward the young man. When the young man saw them coming, he seemed to see a beam of light, and his whole eyes became brighter.

"Young master, lady, are you taking a car?" the young man asked hopefully. What he said was not Mandarin, but the local Wu Yan, which made Wang Defu a little friendly.

"How old are you, come out to pull the cart?" Wang Defu asked casually.

The young man thought that Wang Defu saw that he had no hair and was not doing things well, so he immediately patted his chest and responded: "I have been driving the car for three years this year. Master, please rest assured, I am the old coachman."

Looking at this 16-year-old boy who calls himself an "old driver", Wang Defu shouldn't have said anything for a while. He is only eighteen years old in this world, but he is already in a private prestigious university and has basically no worries about food, clothing and expenses. Now he is facing an economic crisis, he is just looking for it himself. As long as he surrenders to his family, he can continue to live his young master's life immediately.

But this young man had no money to support him in school, and he didn't even have the awareness to let him go to school, so he had to come out to pull a cart at the age of thirteen...

This time, Wang Defu really felt what the real gap between the rich and the poor is. Could this be the social situation in the capitalist era before the red ghost appeared?

He remembered that during his empire, the poor at the bottom of the United Kingdom also lived a very miserable life. When the Soviet Union appeared later, the power of the red ghost made those capitalists who had no bottom line restrain their eating habits and improve their welfare. Ironically, many people at the bottom did not realize that this was the credit of the red ghost.

"You are so young, if I take your car again, I will feel really hard." Wang Defu said in a sympathetic tone.

When the young man heard this, he suddenly became anxious. He felt that it was natural to pull a cart for others and had no idea of ​​resisting the cart. He also thanked the cart for making money for him, so he didn't need sympathy for others at all.

He hurriedly said, "Young Master, I have no business for a long time. I'm cold and hungry. Just take my car! You are kind-hearted, but I can't fill my stomach. I'm a little too young to pull the cart, and the police don't care, which means that this is legal!"

After hearing this, Wang Defu felt that he could only help him by taking care of his business. If he gave him money directly, wouldn’t it hurt his self-esteem?

So Wang Defu and Wang Mo'er got on the rickshaw, and the boy finally smiled. In fact, he was a little cold, but not hungry at all. He just said that just to further arouse Wang Defu's sympathy and let him take care of the business.

While sitting in the car, Wang Mo'er whispered to expose the lie of the boy in Wang Defu's ear. She was so indifferent that she was next to her, as if she had no touch and pity for the boy who came out to pull the cart at the age of sixteen. Obviously, she also thought it was natural.

Wang Defu felt even more complicated after hearing Wang Mo'er's words.

"Young... Brother, you are so kind, but with me by your side, you will never be deceived." Wang Mo'er said confidently.

The title of "brother" was changed by Wang Defu asked her to change. He did not regard Wang Moer as a current person, but really loved her as a sister, so he didn't want to hear her call "Young Master".

Wang Moer felt that although she didn't know much literacy, her social experience was much richer than Wang Defu, and her heart was extremely cold and hard-working. Treating the lower class was like treating livestock, and they were born to work hard for the men.

After arriving at the destination, the boy pulled the car said that the fare would cost 120 copper essays, which was about 12 yuan for later generations. The price was quite reasonable. 1 silver dollar could be exchanged for 1,000 copper essays, so a copper plate was equal to one cent for later generations.

As a result, before Wang Defu paid, Wang Mo'er stood up and exposed the boy's lies without hesitation, and then bargained directly to 80 bronze scripts. Of course, the boy did not agree. After a dispute, the final fare was 100 bronze scripts, which saved the third young master 20 bronze scripts. Wang Mo'er was very happy.

However, Wang Defu looked at the two boys of the same age, and the girls bargained for this, but fell into deep thought. The 16-year-old boys and girls in later generations may still be disgusted with learning such things in school. Their pain became ridiculous when compared with their peers in this era.

But what is really terrifying is that the teenagers and girls of this era did not realize that there was a problem in this society. They were so numb that they had long been used to being exploited, oppressed, and even grateful to the exploiters...

Wang Defu only felt that today's "old driver" boy might become a character in his works in the future. The other party impressed him deeply enough. He finally asked the other party's name, named Gao Xiang.

Wang Defu felt a feeling of "everyone is drunk and I am awake alone". He needed to awaken the numb people in this world through his works. This is one of the important significance of the writer's existence in the world.

Wang Defu and Wang Moer finally came to the editorial department of Gusu Evening News. When the front desk staff in charge of reception saw these two handsome men and beautiful women, they felt a little respectful. They thought they were juniors of the leaders above, so they immediately took them to meet the editor-in-chief.
