Mr. Lamber's character is unquestionable, and it can be expressed in every word and deed.

Before leaving, he had an open and honest conversation with Zhang Xiaokai, saying that he would call him $10,000 every month in the future, and he would not stop until he reached $1 million.

If you get into university but don't get a scholarship, all tuition fees are covered by the Lamberton family's foundation.

Zhang Xiaokai was originally ready to refuse.

However, old Mr. Lambourt said that this was what Adlina's father meant when he was dying, and that he wrote a suicide note when he was dying, which was stuffed in the pocket of the girl's clothes, in which he mentioned it.

It can be regarded as a reward for asking Daddy Zhang to help take care of his daughter, as long as Adlina can live, the Zhang family can get this money, except for the fact that she is alive, there are no additional conditions.

At that time, Mr. Lamber's injuries were more serious, and his abdomen was pierced, compared to Zhang Xiaokai's father, Zhang Pei, who was more lightly injured.

Zhang Xiaokai didn't know if his father knew about it when he was sober.

I can probably guess Mr. Lambourg's intention at that time, most likely because he was afraid that if the rescue team did not arrive, his daughter would be left as a burden.

In that situation, it was hard to trust anyone, knowing that there was no hope for him, and Mr. Lamber's first concern was the safety of his daughter.

Now that he has been rescued, Daddy Zhang is unconscious again, in fact, it doesn't matter if Mr. Lanbao doesn't say it, but he still decided to abide by his son's will, and his gratitude is sincere.

Not long after lunch, Mr. Lamber drove away after packing up the dishes, Zhang Xiaokai looked at the check in his hand, and he was a little confused, but this did not prevent him from hiding the check, so as not to be discovered by the greedy old man.

Adlina waved goodbye to him as she left, saying that she would come back to visit the cat and the "puppy" when she was free, but no one told her that it was a white spirit bear cub and that she had been misunderstood.

The next few days were fine.

Ronald Sr. went out early and returned late, still obsessed with the valuable bluefin tuna.

I didn't encounter any more tuna, but there were suddenly more other fish in the fishing grounds, and the two fishing boats were busy every day, and the harvest was good, and they could catch about $6,000 worth of seafood a day, which was a lot more than enough in addition to the cost of labor and fuel.

According to the old man's words, those schools of fish are like milk, and after squeezing them today, they will come back tomorrow, but unfortunately the killer whales and other whales have not left, and these big guys have scared away many fish.

No one cares about this subtle change, but if you look closely, you will find that the area with the most fish is the area where the river estuary, and even the Dungeness crabs from the fishing ground next door are attracted as if they have magical powers.

There was also a change on this side of the pasture, and in just a few days, the grass on both sides of the river suddenly rose up, but the cattle and sheep kept gnawing on it, so that no one noticed.

If Zhang Xiaokai knew, most of them would have guessed that these were related to the "missing" golden bird sculpture.

It's a pity that he doesn't go out much and spends more time reading books and playing games.

Ronald Sr. didn't care about Zhang Xiaokai's studies, so much so that Zhang Xiaokai was a little indulgent recently, downloaded "Dota" and "World of Warcraft", and mainly played Warcraft.

After realizing that the addiction affected his reading, he set himself a rule that he could only play for three hours a day.

A bunch of elite people rack their brains to come up with more fun games, and young people are really addicted, and they design countless pits to try to keep players playing and then put money in their own pockets.

It's self-disciplined, and I didn't delay learning.

To be honest, there is no teacher who lectures slowly, and there is no need to spend time socializing, Zhang Xiaokai learns faster than when he was in school, and the knowledge points he doesn't understand have answers on the computer, and he can understand it by looking at it.

Talent is far more important than parents think, and he undoubtedly has a brilliant brain.

Because of boredom, I can only study after playing games, or read some miscellaneous books, and take good care of myself.

This is exactly what old Ronald wants, since he found that he doesn't need to worry about himself, the old man has seen Zhang Xiaokai a lot more recently, and from time to time he throws some pocket money to him, so that he can buy things from the Internet by himself.

Coupled with the arrival of a good friend of my father the day before yesterday, he left him $500 in cash, and the total amount of the small treasury was about to exceed $20,000.

As for the pension of the insurance company, it has also been transferred to the old man's account, and he does not plan to hand it over to Zhang Xiaokai for safekeeping, saying that it will be deducted directly from the arrears of the mortgage repayment.

Because it was not an airline plane accident, there was only one life insurance compensation, a total of 450,000 US dollars, and this part of the money does not need to be deducted from taxes.

On March 22, it was raining again.

The weather was very exciting, it did not rain for a month in a row, and it rained intermittently for several days recently, and there were constantly gray clouds drifting from the sea, blocking the sun, which was also not good for the growth of pastures.

Zhang Xiaokai was taken out by old Ronald and forcibly arranged to clean the cattle pen, which is called exercise, and it is easy to have problems with his eyes when he sits all day.

When I entered the cattle pen, I found that there was not necessarily something wrong with my eyes, but my nose really couldn't stand it, and the smell was simply amazing.

"The manure treatment tank has been filled with water, this time it's okay, it spreads automatically, so I don't have to pull it to water again, I don't want to see that scene again!"

Hank, a cowboy intern, said that he was not a pampered personality, but after watching the scene at the cow dung tank, he choked with gagging and choking until his eyes were bloodshot.

More than 1,000 cows did not go out for a few days, and the manure pulled out was piled up, Zhang Xiaokai was smoked to the point that he almost fainted, and when he bought beef in the supermarket, people would not think about how much these big guys could pull, nor would they think that behind the high price, some people silently shoveled for cattle in order to live.

Zhang Xiaokai wore leather boots, water covered his feet, and worked with a shovel in his hand, shoveling cow dung into the cart body.

The people have already come, and they don't want to leave just yet, and they are sneered at by the old fellow.

Most of the time he likes the Cleveland ranch very much, but he doesn't like to come to the cattle pen because of the bad smell, which is only late March, and the smell can be imagined when the summer is hot.

Little Patrick is also there, and he has been working on the ranch for so many years, and he even wears a gas mask to shovel cow dung, and these cattle are still in the pen, which is more troublesome to deal with.

He couldn't help but complain: "Boss, let's wait for the rain to stop before dealing with it, it shouldn't matter if it's only a few days, it's easier to clean when the cattle go out to graze." ”

"You know what! My cow is sick and it's not good for you, if I go bankrupt, who will pay you!?"

Old Ronald was also unhappy, relying on his age, he found a reason to twist his waist and was not happy to work, so he was standing next to him wearing a mask at the moment, breaking open his cow's mouth to check his health.

The rain outside is heavy and heavy, and it is estimated that it will not be long before it will get lighter.

Good things are not his turn, dirty work and tiring work only think of himself, Zhang Xiaokai is so angry that he is autistic, he has always felt that no one can cure this old man, but just a few seconds later, there was a faint siren sound......

——————————

Until the two agents took Ronald Sr. away, the people present were still confused.

No matter how arrogant Ronald Cleveland usually was, he still obediently followed when his name was called, and only dared to quibble and shout, and the two young detectives thought they couldn't hear him, and asked him if he had a lawyer he knew, and he could call someone over.

"How...... What's going on, it's not the police in town, it's the FBI people, does our boss dare to commit crimes across state lines?"

Hank went to change his pants and didn't see what had happened in the previous few minutes, the two men had yellow letters on their backs, and they were certainly not local police officers in Brookingstown.

Kenny, a good man in his thirties, sighed and said, "Do you have to find a job again, and it's hard to get used to it." ”

"Tell me first, what's going on, how did the old man get taken away?" Hank said hurriedly, his tone not panicked at all, some were just curious, mixed with schadenfreude.

"The boss has never filed a tax return, nor has he paid taxes after taking over this ranch, and the lien notice from the tax bureau was sent two months ago, and he has not given a reply, nor has he gone to the federal tax office to explain the reason, this is simply looking for death, I really admire!"

In the United States, it does take a lot of courage to dare to play peek-a-boo with the Federal Tax Service, and it's no wonder that Kenny speaks in such a strange tone.

"Lien" refers to the public statement of property claims filed by the IRS (Federal Inland Revenue Service), which is equivalent to the countdown to the enforcement of the judgment, and the self-conscious point is still saved.

Even Zhang Xiaokai's age understands that the consequences of not paying taxes are very serious, he thought that this grandfather owed so much money to the bank, which was already very tricky, but he didn't expect to do such a thing.

Too lazy to worry about the old man, he rolled his eyes and let go of the shovel, and the calf next to him pushed his head against him.

The chat continued, and Mr. Kenny continued: "The Federal Tax Service only checks one to three percent of people every year to see if they are paying taxes on time.

No, I've made a lot of money from fishing these days, so why don't you ask an accountant who understands taxes to help you with so much money......
