Chapter 180: Busy supporting the family in the foreign land
Uncle Zeng Bao did not interrupt. He was still brooding over the last horse race. A man like him who had been scheming since childhood did not even dare to face Wei Miao's clear eyes.
When she looked at him, there was no calculation, only sincerity.
But he used her to change his own destiny.
The old monk seemed to be able to sense his tangle and said with a smile: "You have been thoughtful since you were young, but you have never thought that she might also have something to ask for."
Uncle Zeng Bao lowered his eyes, "If what she wants is to exchange her life for it, I don't think she will ask for it."
The old monk said: "You are not a fish, how do you know the joy of fish?"
Uncle Zeng Bao said almost reflexively: "You are not me, how do you know that I don't know the joy of fish?"
The old monk saw that he had a regretful expression and actually smiled.
"So, you asked her if she was happy or not?"
Xiao Qian, jumping and skipping, walked to the door of his house and looked towards Wei Miao's yard first.
"Auntie Ayu, Auntie Wu! We are back!"
Xu Ayu's loud voice came, "Xiao Qian, you are finally back. Come and eat the mung bean cake made by Wu Ma later."
"Hey!" Xiao Qian agreed happily, then opened his door and pushed it open with force.

Lu Pingsheng took Wei Miao to the Bund Hotel to eat a table of signature dishes, then took her to the zoo and treated her to a movie. . .
Wei Miao felt that Brother Lu was very gentle today, so gentle that it was scary.
When they came out of the movie, some children came up to them and asked them to buy cigarettes.
Lu Pingsheng stopped, handed the child fifty cents, and then under the child's expectant eyes, he chose a pack of cigarettes he often smoked.
"Stop looking for it."
He opened the cigarette package, took out a cigarette, lit it, and looked up at the setting sun in the sky.
The child's dark and thin face suddenly lit up with joy, "Thank you, sir. Good people will be rewarded."
After watching the child finish speaking, he ran to the next target and was ruthlessly driven away.
The child didn't have time to get frustrated, and continued to ask the next person, "Sir, do you want a cigarette?"
Lu Pingsheng blew out the smoke ring from his mouth, turned his head and asked Wei Miao: "Were you like this that day?"
Wei Miao raised his chin proudly, "I'm smart, I can speak foreign languages, and I only sell to foreigners who look good..."
Lu Pingsheng felt sad. A smart kid like A Miao had to live like this for two years before he turned his life around because of sulfa.
These children selling flowers, cigarettes and melon seeds in front of us may never miss any opportunity in their entire lives.
Even if there is, it may not be possible to identify and catch it.
"Ah Miao, Brother Lu will take you to a place."
After Lu Pingsheng finished smoking his cigarette, he threw the half-remaining cigarette butt in his hand at his feet without stepping on it.
As soon as they left, two people who were hiding at the foot of the wall came running over and started fighting over an unfinished cigarette butt on the ground.
In the distance, two men in Zhongshan suits and top hats were grinning at the scene, finding it extremely interesting.
When they looked up, they found that they had lost the target, and they both cursed inwardly.
"Damn it, this bastard spent as much money as three months' salary for us in just one day." The tall man spat.
The short man looked at the place where Lu Pingsheng had parked his car, but it was already empty. He also frowned and complained:
"Team leader, you are right. What is there to fight for for a traitor who started out as a dealer of cultural relics? He can't be given a position, and he can't be given much money. Are you going to tell him to be loyal to the party and the country, and to devote himself to the Three Principles of the People?"
The tall man glared at him and said, "Watch your mouth and don't get me into trouble."
The two men lost their target and prepared to go back to report with dejected looks.
Being scolded is a small matter. I don’t know if today’s expenses can be reimbursed.
Damn it, two young men, one big and one small, actually slipped away right under their noses.
"Do you think they found out?" asked the short man.
The tall man spat at him, "Neither of us was near them, unless he has opened his third eye!"
Lu Pingsheng, who had opened his third eye, was not in a good mood.
Doesn’t he know what the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics people are doing to him?
Because he provided extremely accurate military intelligence twice, the confidentiality level for him was increased by his superiors.
Very few people knew his identity. Thinking about the recent buzz about the Anti-Traitor Group and the assassination list, he couldn't help but wonder:
Could it be that someone suspected him and wanted to assassinate him?
Wei Miao sat in the passenger seat, looking at Lu Ping, who was more friendly and amiable than ever before, and his slender eyebrows were full of understanding:
The old fox is finally showing his tail.
Lu Pingsheng turned his head to look at Wei Miao's expression and flicked his forehead, "Are you scolding me in your heart again?"
Wei Miao chuckled and imitated his playful expression:
“Brother Lu, if you had been gentle to me today, I might have missed this day.”
Lu Pingsheng looked at the road ahead, drove carefully, and said quietly:
"Ah Miao, do you want to make a fortune?"
When Wei Miao heard this, his eyes instantly lit up like street lights, "Are you going to make a new drug again?"
Because Xu Ayu was about to give birth, and because the amount of gold was considerable last time, Wei Miao had not been making sulfa and penicillin these days.
Lu Pingsheng's car stopped at the 181 Club on Fushi Road. The night here was as bright as day, with flashing neon lights and noisy crowds.
"Let's go, let's make a big bet today."
Lu Pingsheng looked at the Mercedes license plate next to his parking space and finally made up his mind.
He got out of the car, picked up two boxes from the back seat, and motioned Wei Miao to follow.
The receptionist at the door wore a suit and tie. When he met familiar guests, he would greet them attentively, and his smile would become more genuine after receiving the tip.
"Is this your first time here, young masters?" The person who received Lu Pingsheng was a rather clever young man.
He obviously saw Lu Pingsheng and Wei Miao getting out of the car, and his attitude was respectful but not overly flattering, just right.
Lu Pingsheng gave him five francs and said, "Bring my brother here to see the world."
The man took the money, his smile widened, and he welcomed the man inside, while introducing the casino in detail:
"What do you two young masters want to play? Anyone in our club who buys 200 yuan worth of chips can enjoy the four-white service."
Wei Miao was curious, "Si Bai?"
The waiter said with some pride: "It's free food, free drink, free breathing, and free sitting."
Wei Miao didn't hear anything else but the word "eat for nothing". "What are you eating for nothing?"
Lu Pingsheng couldn't help but hold his forehead, and then he heard the waiter say skillfully: "Our restaurant has both Chinese and Western food. The Chinese food is cooked by the royal chef, and the Western food is all cooked by Westerners. The wine, beverages, and juice sodas are all the most expensive and best."
Wei Miao was very satisfied and no longer felt bad about the two hundred dollars.
