Chapter 208: Busy supporting the family in the foreign land
The two discussed for a long time. Seeing Wei Miao's eager look, Lu Pingsheng sighed in his heart.
He had no intention of letting the little brat get involved in a complicated situation.
He was more interested in the war criminal Ichiro Hirata than the antique characters inside.
He lowered his eyes for a while before saying to Wei Miao:
"Ah Miao, Lu Shaojie has placed another large order of sulfa from me, so we may not have time to do these things."
Wei Miao made a quick calculation in his mind, then shook his head decisively.
"Brother Lu, there is no conflict between making sulfa and dealing with gold."
Seeing Lu Pingsheng's disapproving look, Wei Miao also looked a little helpless, "I owe the old monk a favor..."
Lu Pingsheng thought about the thrilling scene on the day Xu Ayu gave birth and remained silent.
The two were in a stalemate, and Wei Miao walked out angrily.
When she returned to the next door, she happened to pass by the three college students she met last time.
There was a flyer in their bag that fell on the muddy ground after the rain, and Wei Miao bent down to pick it up.
"Down with imperialism, expel the Japanese bandits from the country, and return our land to us!!!"
Auntie Pang saw what Wei Miao was holding and took it with a smile, "Oh, these kids are so impatient, they are just the right thing for me to start a fire with."
Wei Miao watched Aunt Pang throw the half-moistened flyer, which had already turned ink-stained, into the coal stove, emitting bursts of black smoke.
"Ah Miao, I haven't seen you for a long time. I heard from people in the alley that your mother gave birth to a baby boy?"
Wei Miao nodded obediently and said:
"Auntie Pang, I haven't seen you for a long time. After Mr. Wu left, the yard feels much quieter."
The fat on Auntie Fat's face smiled shrewdly and said happily:
"It's good that he's gone. Since he left, our electricity bill has been reduced by more than half."
After finishing speaking, he said with a bit of regret, "Without Mr. Wu here, I have lost a lot of money for food, and life is difficult."
Wei Miaojue felt that Aunt Pang was disappointed because no one ate her food which was really mediocre.
"By the way, Miao, when I was at home yesterday, a tall and thin woman knocked on the door and said she was looking for you. I asked her who she was, but she was evasive and didn't tell me. So I took it seriously and she said the house had been sold a long time ago."
Wei Miao took it to heart after hearing it. The Wei and Xu families didn't have many relatives. The only ones Wei Miao knew were Uncle Xu's family and a few distant relatives in the countryside.
She would have to ask Xu Ayu some other time whether there were any tall and thin female relatives in her family.
Wei Miao chatted with Aunt Pang for a few more words before entering the main room and opening the door of his room with his key.
Lying on the bed, Wei Miao listened to the various noises made by people coming home late in the yard, reviewing a series of recent events in his mind.
She got a few chances to make money, but also fell into crisis several times.
She understood that this was the balance of power of "Tao". If you want to take, you must give.
The assassination during the horse race and the little skills accumulated after swallowing opium and gold were all used up in helping Lu Pingsheng turn the tables in the gambling game.
After winning the bet, Xu Ayu lost ten boxes of gold in a blink of an eye. If the old monk and Lu Pingsheng had not been present, she was afraid that she might not be able to keep Xu Ayu.
This is called checks and balances.
Wei Miao understood, but did not admit it. She practiced her own way and just pushed it away when someone did the Tao. This was her heart of Tao.
And her original intention was to protect her family...
Wei Miao was lost in thought and fell into a deep sleep. Then he heard someone banging on the door in the middle of the night.
"Here I come, here I come, knock on the door more quietly. If you break the door you'll have to pay for it."
Aunt Fat yawned and complained as she went to open the door.
"Ouch!"
When Aunt Pang's slightly sharp voice came from the yard, Wei Miao had just put on his clothes when the door was kicked open by someone. The person who rushed in was stunned when he saw that it was a child.
Wei Miao looked at the black muzzle of the gun in front of him with curiosity in his eyes.
Lu Pingsheng and Wu Ziyang both had guns, but they never let her touch them.
Apart from the last gunfight at the entrance of the dance hall, this was the first time that Wei Miao had been so close to a gun.
But in the blink of an eye, Wei Miao's room was turned upside down.
Fortunately, since she rented out the house, there was nothing else in Wei Miao's room except the bed and the wardrobe.
"Kid, just you?"
The visitor didn't find anything and felt a little uneasy. He tapped Wei Miao's head with his hand and said unhappily.
Wei Miao's expression seemed as if he was frightened, which successfully pleased everyone.
"Hey, where did you come from, you stupid boy? Don't scare yourself to death." He tapped his forehead and said in a vulgar way.
The man holding the gun glared at him and said, "Hu San, go search the next room quickly. Someone has escaped. Be careful or the captain will turn you into a fool."
The man called Hu San laughed and said:
"Zhu Yan is a coward. The information he provides is always a little off. If he makes a mistake this time, he will die no matter how lucky he is."
Wei Miao was brought to the main hall by them. Aunt Pang and her group were already squatting there with their heads in their hands, trembling with fear as guns were pointed at them.
Wei Miao just squatted down like them when a sound came from the door.
"Auntie Fatty, you left the door open for us..."
"Run!"
The fat aunt next to Wei Miao shouted at the top of her lungs. Her voice was so sharp and piercing that it made people numb.
When the gunshots rang out, fear and screams rang out, and Wei Miao's body and face were covered in blood.
Aunt Fat's chubby hand hit her unexpectedly, and then Aunt Fat's head with a bloody hole fell into Wei Miao's sight.
Under Wei Miao's shadow, the human blood turned into a colorless and thick liquid, slowly moving and flowing onto Wei Miao's bare feet.
"Damn it, two of them ran away and one was shot." Hu San walked in cursing.
After saying that, he kicked the body of the fat aunt, "You stinky bitch!"
A pair of leather shoes appeared in Wei Miao's sight, very shiny and clean.
Feng Chuanfeng looked down at the corpses on the ground and the shivering crowd.
He slapped Hu San in the face with his backhand.
"Snapped!"
The sound was so loud that Hu San staggered and took several steps to steady himself.
"waste!"
The people nearby stepped forward and said, "Captain, the people have been sent to the hospital. What about the remaining people?"
Feng Chuanfeng's eyes were fierce, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Take them all away, lock them up first, and smell them carefully."
Wei Miao secretly cursed his bad luck in his heart. He shouldn't have been angry with Lu Pingsheng and insisted on coming back to live here.
She had heard Wu Ziyang say that if one went to prison, one would not be able to get out without money.
Moreover, this group of people are obviously not good people. They look like they are more powerful than the police.
Wei Miao and a dozen tenants were taken away. The alley, lit only by a few dim street lights, was quiet. It seemed that all the stray cats and dogs knew that they should not be here at this time.
"Captain, we caught a woman who just got off a rickshaw at the intersection."
Hu San was beaten, and it was time for him to make a contribution.
Wei Miao walked on the rough checkered road with his bloodstained feet. He looked up and saw the drunk Cui Lijuan with her shoulders held down by someone.
"Don't touch me, you little jerk!"
Then he was slapped by Hu San, "Bitch, stop pretending to be drunk, where are those two people just now?"
Cui Lijuan screamed like a hen, completely breaking the silence in the alley.
Someone has turned on the lights, and the dim light shines on the ground, creating bright light.
Feng Chuanfeng looked at Hu San with disgust, waved his hand, and a group of people escorted a dozen people with their mouths covered and left the alley in a well-trained manner.
Cui Liping leaned against the window and saw only the huge convoy leaving.
He squatted on the ground, holding his head in pain, while Mrs. Cui, who was in a bad stomach, hugged him.
"What's wrong?" Grandma Cui's old voice came from downstairs.
Mrs. Cui said quickly, "Mom, it's okay, go to sleep."
