Chapter 141: Busy raising a family in a foreign land 141
Wei Miao and Wei Ada met Lu Pingsheng, who was carrying things with Yang Qiushi, at the entrance of the alley.
General Wei A handed the lunch box to Wei Miao and hurried over to help.
"Uncle, no, no." Lu Pingsheng refused with sweat on his forehead.
Fortunately, at this time, Cui Liping came with a group of brothers. He waved his hand, and a group of hooligans helped lift the boxes on the ground and walked into the alley.
"Mr. Lu, what's in here? It's very heavy." Cui Liping said nonchalantly.
Lu Pingsheng rubbed his arm with his hands empty and said, "I studied abroad in the West before. These are the books and miscellaneous things I brought with me during my study abroad."
As soon as he finished speaking, the little brother Cui Liping brought with him slipped and the box fell to the ground.
The books inside scattered out.
A gust of wind blew, and the pages of the book flipped rustlingly, revealing the densely packed foreign text inside.
Cui Liping glared at his brother with shifty eyes, "You little jerk, I told you to stop playing with girls, but you didn't listen. You can't even lift anything."
Mrs. Dong, who was leaning against the barber shop, sneered, causing several people to look over with shining eyes, but Cui Liping glared at her again, making them lower their heads and remain silent.
Lu Pingsheng and Wei Miao squatted on the ground picking up books.
"So ostentatious?" Wei Miao said.
Lu Pingsheng raised his eyebrows, "It's better to be open and aboveboard than to be sneaky."
For the entire morning, Lu Pingsheng hired Cui Liping and a group of people to carry boxes for him, and they filled up his living room, yard, and utility room with boxes.
Cui Liping and a group of brothers who were basking in the sun, tilted their necks to drink water, and watched the young men from the Wei family open the big boxes in the yard one by one.
There are so many neatly arranged books inside that it makes one dizzy.
"Mr. Lu, instead of bringing back these books, you might as well bring back some in-demand goods and make a fortune."
Cui Liping fanned himself with his clothes, and several of his younger brothers sat down in the shade at the door to take a rest.
Lu Pingsheng took out fifty French francs from his wallet and gave them to Cui Liping. "Thank you for your hard work today, Brother Cui. Take this money and treat the brothers to a meal, a bath, and some relaxation."
The eyes of the other people suddenly lit up.
Cui Liping swallowed his saliva and pushed the money back, "Mr. Lu, you saved my life. How can I charge you for such a small labor? If I tell others about it, people will criticize me."
Lu Pingsheng was quite surprised, but he still stuffed the money into Cui Liping's pocket and said with a sincere smile:
"Brother Cui, the brothers have been tired for the whole morning. I should have treated everyone to a meal and drinks, but as you can see, these things need to be put away..."
"Okay, Mr. Lu, if you have physical work next time, just let me know."
Cui Liping took the money and left with several brothers. Since his sister was unwilling to marry the eldest brother, he was driven out of the gang.
Now he wanders around with a few brothers who are willing to hang out with him, and he only relies on his mother's scallion pancakes to fill his stomach.
After everyone left, Lu Pingsheng was so tired that he sat on the box and said to Yang Qiushi who was still moving things in:
"Qiu Shi, take a break. Let's eat and take a nap before continuing."
Yang Qiushi said honestly: "I'm not tired."
Then one of them carried a large box and walked into the house steadily.
Even though they knew that this was a strong man, Wei Miao and Lu Pingsheng were still envious.
"Brother Lu, this is the legendary strength to pull up mountains and the courage to conquer the world."
Lu Pingsheng nodded, "The ancients were not deceiving me."
Wei Miao said, handing the post in his hand to Lu Pingsheng, "Three days later, still at Huizhong Hotel."
Lu Pingsheng smiled, "Miss Bai is no longer the same as before. It seems that she has finally gained a foothold in the Green Gang."
"He has a very good relationship with Durand." Wei Miao briefly told Lu Pingsheng about the coffee shop.
Lu Pingsheng said admiringly: "Not only Durand, she also has good relations with people from the United States and Britain. It is true that when there is no man in her heart, she will naturally be a god when she draws the sword."
Wei Miao was happy. Compared to Zhang Er, Bai Meigui had bottom lines and principles. She liked such a person, even if he was a little cruel.
"That Zhang Er, is he really unable to move?"
Lu Pingsheng looked at the half-grown boy and said something nonchalantly, as if Zhang Er would die if he nodded. He felt satisfied and weird.
He later went to the hospital to see those people, and the few who survived probably could no longer be called human beings.
For the few who can survive being bitten by snakes, insects, rats and ants, luck plays a big role.
His mind immediately recalled the night when he met Wei Miao in the trash can, and the report about Mr. Dong and his mother from the car dealership being eaten by wild dogs.
A Miao, it turns out you are not simple.
Could it be that her talent is not greed for money, but beast taming, and beast taming requires swallowing gold???
Lu Pingsheng shook his head and threw the messy thoughts out of his mind.
"Ah Miao, this batch of equipment has arrived. We will build a small penicillin production line on the second floor, and a sulfa production line in the secret room below."
Wei Miao also smiled after hearing this. The production line was up and running, which meant that the day of counting money was not far away.
"After your family moves out, I plan to renovate your house from the inside out, take the opportunity to expand the secret room, and arrange for a few families to live in it..."
Lu Pingsheng lay on the box and talked about his future plans.
Wei Miao sat under the shade of a tree, fanning herself with a palm-leaf fan, and listened quietly to his plans amid the noisy sounds of cicadas.
Wei family.
Xu Ayu looked at his elder brother with lifeless eyes and felt sad.
Who would have thought that just a small, unintentional action of a child would cause such a big change in the family.
"Brother, I really don't want to consider moving to the concession. This way I can be closer to Sister Lan."
Xu Ayu felt that what his daughter said made sense. The Chinese area was in chaos nowadays, and relatively speaking, the concession was more suitable for living.
Uncle Xu was silent for a while before he said in a muffled voice:
"Your sister-in-law is not in good health now, so she doesn't want to move for the time being."
He actually came here today for another purpose.
The landlord asked them these two days whether they wanted to buy the house. If they did, he could offer them a price 10% lower than the market price.
He wanted to borrow some money from his sister and brother-in-law's family to buy the house first.
Xu Ayu's belly is big now. Although she is well taken care of, she is not in good spirits due to overwork in the past. She looks empty-eyed, as if she didn't notice anything unusual about her elder brother.
"What does sister-in-law think?"
Although she knew that her sister-in-law could not make the decision, she still wanted to ask her opinion so that she could persuade her.
Uncle Xu held his face in his hands and said in a muffled voice, "She said she wanted to wait for Duoyu to come back."
Speaking of many fish, the air fell into an unspeakable silence. After a long while, Xu Ayu said:
"Brother, my sister-in-law is not in good health. There are many hospitals in the concession. If you take good care of her, you may be able to..."
Xu Ayu was halfway through his speech when he couldn't continue. Even if he had another child, it wouldn't be Xiaonan and Duoyu.
Wei Miao pushed the door open and the brother and sister looked at each other in silence. They looked at Wei Ada, who was washing pig's trotters under a tree, and winked at them.
Wei Miao looked at the two silent siblings and understood.
