The delicacies of the mountains and the sea are not as good as a meal of dumplings" Jiang Shan handed me a Chinese root, and the lighter is also very elegant, like a genuine dupont, which is one of the most expensive lighters, and it seems that it cannot be bought in China.

After lighting a cigarette, he looked at me and smiled, "Actually, I didn't think you would be her son when I first saw you, but I thought her son should be more handsome." But you look very ordinary, but now that you look closely, you have eyes that resemble hers, and your eyes look like they can talk. ”

"Thank you. ”

I smoked a cigarette, maybe there were not so many onlookers, and after getting out of the situation just now, I was a lot more relaxed, and my body was a little more relaxed.

"I have been friends with your mother for many years, and since her husband died, I have taken care of the distribution of property and legal matters for her. At her age, it is unlikely that she will have offspring, so you are her only child, who is now the first in line to inherit all her possessions. ”

"I don't need her money. ”

I said with some gambling.

Jiang Shan smiled and shook his head and said, "You can think so, but legally you are the first in line of succession anyway." Therefore, as her friend and partner, I must ensure that I will help her with the most serious attitude in dealing with her property matters. So I've done a brief survey of you with some relationships. ”

"You check me?"

When I heard that, I immediately felt uncomfortable.

"Just doing some simple research, you have the highest education until high school, you didn't go to college, you could have gone to a good technical school to continue your studies, but in the end you gave up. I don't have any formal employment at the moment, but I like to travel with a few friends, do some small business, and seem to have a meager income. I didn't have insurance, I didn't have a car in my name, I didn't have a house. He is twenty years old and currently single. Judging from the investigation report, you are a person at the bottom of the society who has no illegal record, but no stable income. As far as I am concerned, with your current education, you can only work as an ordinary worker, and you need to work for three to four years to save money for marriage. And this is under the condition that the standard of living in Shanghai will not improve significantly, and as for buying a car, it may be a fantasy for you. ”

Jiang Shan's investigation is not comprehensive, but he is quite right.

"What do you mean by that?"

Whoever says that is upset will be upset.

"It's nothing, I just want you to recognize the facts, judging from your study situation, you are not a hard-working person. If you like to go south and north, it means that you don't have a stable and long-term plan, so you shouldn't refuse your mother's kindness. With all due respect, even if you suddenly change your personality, you will not be able to reach the same heights as your mother if you work hard, after all, you are not as beautiful as hers. So, if I were you, I would definitely go back to Hong Kong with your mother and receive everything she had arranged for you. So that at least your future life will be good and envied by many people. ”

After Jiang Shan finished speaking, he flicked the cigarette ash and looked at me no longer speaking. I snuffed out the cigarette butt in the ashtray and said, "I may not be able to make that much money in my life, as you say, but all the elders I know have told me. People can't live without self-esteem, I am indeed a poor boy in a public house in Shanghai, I don't even have a decent suit, and I have never eaten in such a big restaurant in the past. Maybe I won't be able to make that much money in my life, but I don't want to grovel for money. I don't care if she will leave me the inheritance or how much she will leave me. Although these words may sound immature to you, I am a dignified person after all. Thank you for the cigarettes, I'm sorry, the cigarettes are so good that I can't get used to them. ”

After speaking, I stood up and walked back to the Egret Hall, my mother seemed to have been slightly drunk, and when she saw me, she staggered over slightly, grabbed my hand and said with a smile: "Son, these uncles and aunts will help you in the future, and you can live a good life." You must go back to Hong Kong with your mother, who has been missing you all these years. ”

I looked at her in a daze, and finally gently pushed her hand away and whispered: "It's not early, and there may be no bus if it's late, so when you come to Shanghai in the future, you should eat dumplings at home." ”

With that, I withdrew my hand, nodded slightly to the guests, and then turned and walked out. I didn't hear her call me from behind, I walked very fast, and when I got to the door, I saw the doorman who had just stopped me coming up with a smile on his face, opening the door for me and saying, "Sir, do you need to call a taxi for you?"

"No, I like buses. ”

Walking out the door, it was already dark in Shanghai, and the long streets were lit with neon, so I tightened my coat and walked out. Maybe it's raining, the air is a little humid, and people with bicycles or bags often pass by at night. I walked alone with my hands in my pockets. Refusing a good life seems silly to outsiders. But I feel like I'm doing the right thing, even if I'm stupid, even if I'm young, but that's the life I'm pursuing, and that's the kind of person I am.

When I got home, I saw the light in the living room on, and when I entered the door, I saw my father sitting at the dining table. There are several plates of sedan chairs on the table, as well as a bottle of two pots.

He smoked a cigarette and seemed to be waiting for me, and when he saw me come in, he smiled and said, "You haven't eaten much, have you?"

I was stunned, nodded and said, "Dad, what are you doing here?"

"I guess you must not have eaten much, so you made dumplings, sit down, and we have a drink today. I went to heat up the dumplings, and they were all cold. You eat some peanuts first......"

The moment he turned around with his plate, I suddenly said, "Dad, I'm not going to Hong Kong." ”

He stopped, visibly trembling slightly, then sighed softly, and said as he walked, "You silly boy......"

Mr. Tang's procedures were as fast as ever, and the inspection was completed four days later, and the remaining balance was telegraphed to the fat man's passbook. But before our brother could celebrate, a phone call from Beads came with bad news.

The Ling family was very dissatisfied with this transaction, and sent a few men to Shanghai to find us to reason.

Saying that it is a theory is actually to teach us a lesson, these grandsons are really fucking unkind, doing business is doing business, and it is like the underworld. We are not allowed to make money yet!

Fortunately, I had been prepared beforehand, and I set off from home overnight and moved to the fat man's house with the salute on my back. The three of them got together in the evening for a meeting to sum it up.

"Zhuzi said that the person sent by the Ling family is not clear who it is, but even if it is a good player of Gu Yu's level, it is not something that we can deal with. ”

The fat man said with a solemn expression.

"Well, we can't stay here, it's not safe, don't wait to make a move to trouble the old man. Move out first, look around White Pigeon Street to see if there is a guest house or rent a small house. Anyway, now we have some money in our hands, so we don't have to worry about finding a place to live. Moved to White Pigeon Street, closer to Mr. Xu. ”

I pondered for a moment and spoke.

"This is easy to do, but I'm afraid that if Mr. Xu can't deal with the people of the Ling family, or if he doesn't want to fall out with one family for the three of us, it will be troublesome. After all, we don't know who he is, although he helped us once and promised to cover us this time, but I was afraid of changing my mind halfway. I think I'd better ask Mr. Tang privately to understand the price and see how much he will charge if he helps us settle it. But I don't think it's cheap......"

Fat means being prepared with both hands.

"Xiao Luo, you clean up our guys tomorrow and see what guys we have to add this time. Looks like I've been hiding for a while lately. ”

I turned around and said, Luo Qiong nodded hurriedly.

"By the way, what's wrong with your uncle, fat man? I haven't heard from you for a long time, it doesn't matter. ”

"I don't know, his address is changing all the time, and several letters I wrote were returned, or they were lost. I don't know what the situation is on his side, but the passbook should still be on his body, and he will find a way to send him some money after a while. The fat man snuffed out the cigarette butt, then hooked me on the shoulder and said, "I heard your mother is back?"

I was stunned, nodded and said, "You wanted to take me to Hong Kong, but I refused." Don't mention it, it won't have much to do with me in the future anyway. Let's concentrate on dealing with the Ling family's arrival this time, save our lives first, and then find a way to make money. ”

Only when you are alive can you be rich, I still know this truth very well. “
