Chapter 1429: Worse Than Being in Jail!

~8 min read 1,514 words

Hamid had no time to pay attention to Su Shoudao.

He smiled and said to Zhao Yinsheng, "Everyone, I have brewed some excellent black tea. Let's go inside and have a few cups!"

People in the Middle East love drinking black tea. They usually boil a lot of tea leaves into a very rich tea soup, and then pair it with a large amount of white sugar, as well as tea snacks with extremely high sugar content.

This point is quite different from the Chinese.

Seeing Hamid being so hospitable, they found it hard to refuse for a moment.

So, Zhao Yinsheng said, "Commander Hamid, then I will trouble you to arrange for your men to take Mr. Su to his residence first."

"Okay, no problem!" Hamid patted his chest and said, "Ever since Young Master Ye gave the order, I have had people prepare the courtyard. That courtyard is next to my guard battalion. Besides my guards, the rest are all soldiers of the troops. There are people patrolling and standing guard 24 hours a day, so he will definitely not be able to run away!"

After saying that, he smiled and said, "And I have already had people tidy up that small courtyard again. The conditions are also quite good."

Su Shoudao only breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

Ever since he got on the plane, he hadn't thought about escaping.

Because it was simply impossible to escape.

In this kind of place where birds don't lay eggs, even if he were tired to death, he couldn't run out.

What's more, the surroundings were full of soldiers with live ammunition. In case the other party discovered him and fired a few bursts of bullets, he wouldn't even have a chance to leave a whole corpse.

Therefore, he could only force himself to adapt; since he was here, he should be at peace.

As for the future, he could only hope that his daughter, Su Zhiyu, would be able to inherit the Su family soon.

However, he thought again.

"The possibility of letting Zhiyu inherit the Su family is almost zero... Not to mention my old man who would never let go of power until he dies, even if he were willing to let go of power, would my younger brothers and sisters be willing to let a girl like Zhiyu inherit the Su family? By then, I'm afraid there will be an unprecedented family struggle..."

Thinking of this, he became more and more desperate.

He didn't know when his "Syrian tour" would come to an end.

Soon, Su Shoudao was taken by Hamid's personal guards to a small farmhouse courtyard a few hundred meters away from the command post.

This small courtyard looked almost entirely built of yellow earth, with earthen walls and earthen houses. Except for the tiles on the roof, which looked like they had been fired, there were almost no traces of modern processing.

The courtyard was not big. After entering, the courtyard was only the size of a basketball court. On the right side of the entrance, a cow shed was built, but no animals were kept inside.

As for the middle of the courtyard, except for dirt, there wasn't even a blade of grass.

And the houses that came with this small courtyard were only three earthen houses facing the courtyard.

Unlike the countryside in China, which at least has east and west wing rooms, here there were three earthen houses side by side, which probably didn't exceed forty square meters in total.

What made him even more collapsed was that in the room in the center, except for an old wooden chair, there was nothing.

On the left hand side was an extremely simple bedroom. If it weren't for a pile of straw-like things in the middle of the bedroom, he wouldn't even know that this room was used for sleeping.

Like the room in the middle, there was only a pile of straw and a pile of rolled-up bedding in this so-called bedroom.

Su Shoudao went up to spread out the bedding, which contained a quilt, a mattress, and a pillow.

As soon as he saw this simple three-piece set, he couldn't help but stomp his feet and curse, "Damn it! I spent 100 million US dollars, so why is even the bedding second-hand? This piece of junk, buying a new set wouldn't cost more than two hundred yuan, right?!"

Su Shoudao was furious, kicked the pillow far away, turned his head and rushed out, and came to the room on the right.

As a result, as soon as he entered the door, he smelled a long-standing stench.

Looking down, this wasn't a room at all; this was a dry toilet with a roof!

There was nothing in the room, except for a deep pit dug in the middle and two wooden boards, revealing a hole in the middle. Inside was a manure pit. Besides that, there was no sewage device. It was estimated that before it was full, it could only be manually shoveled...

Su Shoudao almost collapsed.

"If I have to shovel the latrine every once in a while in the future, who the hell can stand it?"

"The key is that this broken house only has one broken window, and the ventilation is not very good. If I take a big dump here, when will the smell ever dissipate?"

At this moment, Su Shoudao felt that his future life was full of darkness.

Here, he had no personal belongings, no mobile phone, no computer, no internet, and not even a cup for drinking water. In the future, he could only sleep on the straw pile, and when he woke up, he could only sit on that old wooden chair, or get some air in this empty courtyard.

Thinking about it, this was even more miserable than being in jail.

After all, when in jail, at least one could use a flush toilet, chat with cellmates, and occasionally watch TV in the cafeteria or read books and newspapers in the cell.

But what could one do here? There wasn't even anyone to talk to.

Thinking of this, Su Shoudao, a man in his fifties, couldn't help but shed tears.

He was not like an ordinary middle-aged person.

The vast majority of middle-aged people suffered a lot in their childhood.

But Su Shoudao was born with a golden key more than 50 years ago.

He had never suffered or been tired in his life. The worst he had ever been was being sent to Australia.

However, even during the days he was sent to Australia, he lived in a big villa by the sea every day.

Compared to here, it was simply heaven.

Just when he was extremely depressed, someone opened the courtyard gate and entered the courtyard.

Su Shoudao hurriedly went out and saw Zhao Yinsheng walking in under the guidance of several soldiers.

Zhao Yinsheng saw Su Shoudao and said, "Mr. Su, we are ready to set off back to the country immediately. I came to see you before leaving. I don't know if you are satisfied with the courtyard our Young Master fought for you?"

Su Shoudao said with tears in his eyes, "Brother Zhao, the conditions in this place are really too poor..."

Zhao Yinsheng said earnestly, "Mr. Su, you are also an old comrade. Some difficulties can definitely be overcome by gritting your teeth. Man can conquer nature, right?"

Su Shoudao hurriedly said, "No... brother... the conditions are really too poor. Why don't you go in and see? Is this a place for humans to live? Even the donkeys in the production team in the early years had better conditions than I do here!"

Zhao Yinsheng waved his hand and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Mr. Su. I'm in a hurry and have to leave immediately, so I won't go in to see."

After saying that, he asked with a smile, "I don't know if you have anything else to entrust?"

Su Shoudao really wanted to say, please go back and tell Ye Chen that I, Su Shoudao, fuck his eight generations of ancestors!

But he absolutely dared not say such words.

He could only choke and ask, "Brother Zhao, can I trouble you to bring a word to Young Master Ye?"

Zhao Yinsheng nodded, "Go ahead. As long as it's not a personal attack, I will try my best to bring it."

Su Shoudao hurriedly said, "Can you ask him to say hello to Commander Hamid, so he can at least get me some furniture? I can't just sleep on the straw pile forever..."

After saying that, he hurriedly added, "Also, I don't have any daily necessities, not even a teacup or a toothbrush. Can you give me a chance to let my daughter send me some daily necessities from China?"

Zhao Yinsheng laughed, "Mr. Su, it's not that I'm hitting you, you are also well-informed, but which courier company in China have you seen that dares to take packages to Syria?" ===== CHAPTER 1430 =====
