In the summer of 1984, a large truck crashed into a car in London, killing the Williams, but when the police arrived at the scene, they found that a 10-year-old boy had miraculously survived under the protection of his mother......

"Peter Williams?"

"Yes, officer, I'm Peter Williams!"

"Oh, I'm very sorry, Mr. Williams, I have to tell you something very unfortunate!" Officer Charlie paused, shook his head slightly, and said to Peter in a tone of pity, "There was a car accident in London yesterday afternoon, and your brother and sister-in-law were killed in this car accident......

Peter Williams' eyes were sunken, his expression was very nervous, and he smelled of bad tobacco. And on the way to the police station, he had apparently smoked quite a lot. He didn't know why the police officer told him to rush to the police station immediately, he thought, he didn't seem to have committed anything recently, how could he call himself to the police station for no reason? Peter was suddenly uneasy, forgot to change his clothes, and hurried to the police station in light blue, slightly old workshop overalls with a hint of oil, but he never thought that he was told that his brother had been in a car accident.

"Oh, that's unfortunate!! Peter said with a shocked look on his face, but at the same time secretly relieved that he finally knew why he had been called to the police station.

Peter no longer had the same restraints as when he first came to the police station, and his fat ass couldn't help but move in the chair to make himself more comfortable.

Officer Charlie couldn't help frowning, as a veteran police officer with more than ten years of experience, he could easily see that the Mr. Peter Williams in front of him did not seem very sad after hearing the news of his brother's death. But in any case, Peter is still a relative of the victims, and Officer Charlie said to Peter: "Thankfully, Serena Williams survived - Henry Williams, your brother's son, survived the car accident!"

"Oh, what a blessing in misfortune!" said Peter.

"Yes. But the most admirable of them all is little Henry's mother!!," Officer Charlie suddenly sighed.

"What's wrong with her?" asked Peter.

"Mrs. Williams is so great, she saved her child with her own body!"

"Oh, so to speak, she was a great mother. But she's an American Jew......" The corners of Peter's mouth lifted unconsciously, and there was a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

Officer Charlie was slightly surprised by Peter's performance, and secretly shook his head in his heart, having a very bad impression of him. Then, Officer Charlie took out a document from the drawer and said, "Mr. Peter Williams, now little Henry Williams is the only relative of you, I don't know if you are willing to raise him." Otherwise, we'll have to send him to an orphanage!"

Peter was stunned for a moment, and did not speak.

After a while, Peter hesitated and said, "Oh, this...... Mr. Officer, you know, I have a small child to raise at home, and the mother of the child is not working......"

At this time, Officer Charlie interrupted him and said, "The most beautiful thing in the world is family affection! Mr. Williams, we can't give up family affection because of the slightest difficulty, can we?"

"Yes, Mr. Officer, you're right! But I'm not the only one to do it, you know, I'll have to talk to my wife, Rosa! Oh, her full name is Rosa Bennett......" Peter Williams excused.

"Of course, please discuss it with your wife as soon as possible, and then inform us!" Officer Charlie shook his head in his heart, and couldn't help but worry about the future fate of the little boy Henry Williams, whose own uncle didn't seem to be very reliable. Neither going to an orphanage, or to his uncle Peter's house, seems like a good place to go?

……

In a dilapidated old house near the London train station, Peter said to his wife Rosa: "Rosa, my brother's family had a car accident yesterday afternoon, and my brother and aunt almost died on the spot!!

Rosa Bennett is Chinese New Year's Eve, three years older than her husband Peter, already fat, wearing a large white dress and grease and powder, dressed in flowers. When she heard the news that Peter had brought, her face was full of shock: "Oh, this is really the most unfortunate news I've heard this year!"

"Yes, Rosa. However, my nephew, Henry Williams Jr., was lucky enough not to die, and the officer said he wanted us to adopt him!"

"What!! oh damn it, this is the most unfortunate news I've heard this year!! how can that little guy live with us?!!" Rosa screamed loudly, "Peter, I strongly disagree, the ten-year-old guy will drag us down to death!!"

"Go to school, buy clothes, eat...... Oh, the thought of this makes me want to die!!" Rosa suddenly said a lot of nervousness.

"That'...... So how do we get back to Officer Charlie?" asked Peter.

"What else can I say? Of course, I refused directly!! Oh, by the way, send little Henry to the orphanage......" Rosa Yang said loudly with her hands raised.

The next morning, a white fog covered the city. Peter and Rosa got up early, and after they had breakfast, they couldn't wait to rush to the police station, after all, it was always uncomfortable to have a matter in mind, and the sooner it was resolved, the better.

At this time, Officer Charlie had not yet arrived at the police station, and Peter and his wife were greeted by a young new police officer. After a few pleasantries, the young officer learned that the couple were the families of the car accident the day before.

"Mr. Williams, your face doesn't look good. ”

"Oh, it's okay, I just didn't get a good night's rest last night. ”

The young police officer comforted: "Mr. Williams, no one can expect this kind of thing, the dead have passed away, the living mourn, please take care of your health." I express my deep sympathy for the affairs of your brother's family. Rest assured, though, that the laws of the UK are fair and impartial, and criminals will be punished. The driver of the truck was in a car accident because he was driving drunk, and the judge must award him at least £100,000 in damages!"

£100,000!!

Hearing this, Peter and Rosa couldn't help but swallow their saliva and looked at each other, their eyes flashing with fiery greed.

"Yes, that damn truck driver must be punished severely!!" Rosa's face suddenly changed, showing her indignation in front of the young officer.

"Yes, it must be punished severely!! Peter also gritted his teeth, and shouted sharply.

At this time, Officer Charlie came from outside. When Peter saw him, he immediately changed into a flattering look, and walked up to greet him: "Hello Officer Charlie, !!"

"Oh, Mr. Williams, you're so early!" Officer Charlie said, looking at his watch, "it's a quarter ......past eight."

"Oh, sir, I'm so worried about my nephew, so I'm here a little early. ”

"Huh?!" "Have you considered adopting little Henry?" Charlie was slightly surprised by Peter's attitude, knowing that he didn't want to adopt his little nephew yesterday.

"Of course, I am his own uncle, and the only legal guardian!!" Peter said, and deliberately emphasized the phrase "only legal", implying that no one else had the right to adopt Henry Williams except him.

Charlie frowned slightly, full of doubts in his heart, he didn't know what made Peter's attitude change so quickly, and he was even afraid that someone else would rob him of his right to adopt!!

"Mr. Peter Williams, are you sure you want to adopt Henry Williams?" asked Charlie solemnly.

"Yes, I'm sure !!," Peter exclaimed.

Charlie nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take you to the formalities." ”

An hour later, Peter and Rosa returned home. With a "bang" the door closed, the two immediately began to scream.

"A hundred thousand pounds, oh my God, I've never seen so much money!!" Rosa danced excitedly.

"Haha, yes, dear, we're about to have a hundred thousand pounds!! Peter laughed heartily and couldn't help but pull out his treasured red wine, "Come, let's toast a hundred thousand pounds!!"

"Cheers to £100,000 !!"

The day after the adoption process, Peter's family rushed to bring little Henry home.

In the ensuing proceedings, Peter and Rosa appeared in court several times and insisted that the plaintiff truck driver should pay at least £100,000 in damages, or he would not give up!!

But before the verdict was handed down, Rosa and Peter began to spend lavishly. Rosa bought an expensive dress, Peter bought a Baume & Mercier watch, and Rosa bought her son Peter Jr. an Atari console. Peter Jr., whose name is exactly the same as his father's, is Peter Williams, and he just turned 8 this year.

It seems that overnight, Peter's family became rich and began to enjoy the life of a rich man.

"Hey, Peter, you've made a fortune, you actually bought a Baume & Mercier watch!"

"Oh, Mrs. Williams, you're wearing this beautiful outfit, and when you put it on, it feels like ...... Oh, like an English aristocratic woman!"

Whenever they heard these compliments, Peter and Rosa couldn't help but be triumphant, and their vanity was satisfied.

However, one day, Officer Charlie came and knocked on the door of Peter's house, and Peter and Rosa fell from the clouds to hell.

"Mr. Williams, the judge has handed down the verdict on the truck driver. ”

"Yes, that's wonderful!! Peter said with joy.

At this time, Rosa Bennett, who was sitting on the sofa leisurely munching melon seeds, suddenly heard the news, stood up, stepped forward in three steps and two steps, and asked with a very excited expression: "Mr. Officer, did the judge award him 100,000 pounds in compensation!!

"I'm sorry, ma'am, but the judge didn't ...... that."

"How is ?!!it possible," exclaimed Rosa, with a very dissatisfied expression on her face, "Mr. Officer, we do not agree with any other verdict except for 100,000 pounds!!

"Mrs. Williams, I don't think it's possible. ”

"Why can't it be?" a young policeman in the police station said he could pay us at least £100,000 in compensation!! ' Rosa screamed.

"Oh, sorry, ma'am, the young policeman was a temporary worker......" "Uh, you know, casual workers don't know much about English law in general!"

The Williams' faces changed in vain, stunned, agitated, and frenzied, more gloomy than a thunderstorm in London. Charlie couldn't help but shake his head secretly, and explained to the two: "Besides, even if the judge sentences the truck driver to pay you 100,000 pounds, he can't pay it......! The truck driver is a poor man through and through, he doesn't have a penny in his bank card, and he even owes the bank more than a thousand pounds, how can he compensate you for a hundred thousand pounds?"

After hearing the news, Peter and Rosa were completely dizzy, and their heads went blank!! (all kinds of new books, free recommendations, free collections, and your wise reviews!)
