Chapter 6: Rise in the Garage
Mary smiled and took Tang Feng's hand, but inadvertently saw the terrifying scar on his wrist.
Immediately asked with concern: "Oh! Oh, my God! Let me see your hands, what's wrong with your hands? ”
Tang Feng was helpless and showed them the scars on his hands, but he didn't untie the cuffs, afraid that it would scare them.
Charlie's eyes were red and he said, "Brother, I'm sorry, if I don't go on vacation, you won't be homeless, and you won't be hurt." ”
William was also very angry, and roared in a thick voice: "If Julia hadn't kicked you out of the house, how could you have been so seriously injured?" I'm going to ask her what she's trying to do! ”
Mary took William's arm and choked up, "How can she do this?" Has she forgotten Alan's request? ”
Angela almost cried into tears, hugged him tightly, and sobbed distressedly: "I'm sorry, brother, it's all Angela's fault." If I hadn't broken the plate that day, you wouldn't have quarreled with the old witch, and she wouldn't have kicked you out. ”
"Woo woo, it's all my fault, it's all my fault."
Tang Feng hurriedly coaxed: "Angela, it's none of your business, the old witch has long looked at me unpleasantly." My brother is fine, but he was slightly injured, and now he is better. ”
It took a lot of effort for him to coax Angela with the help of Mary and William, and when everyone entered the house, they sat around the sofa and listened to Tang Feng tell about what happened during this time.
Tang Feng just said lightly what happened to him by the river, and then said that he was sent to the hospital by a kind person, and he was treated in the hospital these days, but he hid the matter of being a guinea pig, and he didn't want everyone to worry.
After dinner, Angela said goodbye to everyone with tears in her eyes, and Mary hugged Angela and said excitedly: "Angela, you won't go back in the future, tomorrow I will go and get your clothes, if Julia dares to stop her, then see you in court!" ”
William also said to Tang Feng: "Tang, leave this matter to us." Eren is our best friend, and we won't be indifferent to watching you and Angela being abused! ”
"After a few busy days, I will go to hire a lawyer to help you fight for Angela's custody, and you and Angela will be our children in the future!"
Tang Feng hurriedly stopped William, "William, I really appreciate your selfless help, but please don't find a lawyer, I just ask Aunt Mary to help negotiate with that woman, and let Angela live here temporarily." ”
William was puzzled: "Why? Don't you want Angela to get out of that vicious woman's clutches as soon as possible? ”
Tang Feng explained with a wry smile: "Of course I want to, but I can't win this lawsuit, after all, I'm just a high school graduate now, and I have neither a stable job nor a reliable financial source." ”
"And once the judicial process is initiated, Angela will have to return to her before the case is closed, in that case, it would be better for us to negotiate with her and let Angela live here for the time being, she should agree."
William suddenly realized, his old face flushed, and then he laughed self-deprecatingly: "Haha, look at me, I have even forgotten this bit of common sense, I am not as good as a child." ”
"Don, I haven't seen you for a few days, you've really grown up!"
"Charlie, learn from your good brother, don't know all day long to watch your broken movie."
Charlie shrugged his shoulders and replied, "Got it, dear dad." ”
After speaking, he immediately waved his hand at Tang Feng with great interest, and said in a way that he thought was very chic: "Brother, come with me, let's move!" By the way, I'll show you my secret weapon, it's definitely enough! ”
William was a little confused, and pretended to be majestic and shouted, "What are you moving?" What are you going to toss around? ”
As soon as Charlie was about to answer, Mary preemptively said to William: "At noon, my sister's little monkey called and said that he would come to Los Angeles in two days and live at home. ”
"Now that Angela and Don are here, the family can't live there, and Charlie wants to move to the garage with Don so that a room can be vacated, and the little monkey can live just when he comes."
Then he said to Charlie with a straight face: "Don's injury is not healed yet, you and William should go and toss." ”
Although he and Charlie's family had just met, Tang Feng was very moved by their enthusiasm, and unconsciously accepted them from the heart, and there was no longer a sense of restraint, and after talking to Mary, he went to help Charlie move.
In order to make room for them, William drove his car out of the garage, a ram pickup 1500, Tang Feng patted the car door, and praised: "Cool! What a car! ”
Hearing his praise, William immediately smiled and said, "Haha, you're right, this is my baby." Do you want to go for a ride? ”
Tang Feng looked at the body taller than him, although he really wanted to drive it on the suburban road for a while, but thinking that his injury had not healed yet, he could only reply regretfully: "Next time, Uncle William, my injury will take a while to heal, I am afraid that I will pull the wound when driving." ”
William also showed regret, walked out of the cab, patted him on the shoulder, and comforted: "When you are healed, you can do it at any time, go and see your new room." ”
The garage is very large and spacious, with 40 square meters, it looks like it should be a double-row garage, but Charlie's family only has one car, so in addition to parking, some miscellaneous tools are piled up in it, and after cleaning it out, it is enough for him and Charlie to live.
After William left, Charlie immediately came over and said with a curious face: "Dude, tell me quickly, how did you kill that big crocodile?" ”
Tang Feng: "Didn't you just talk about it?" ”
Charlie pouted: "Come on, I know you too well, you just said part of it." Say, I'm going to listen to the full version! ”
"Also, Angela said that you didn't have a penny on you when you left, so who helped you pay for the medical bills, and how are you spending these days?"
Tang Feng was helpless, knowing that he couldn't hide it, so he had to fight how he fought with the crocodile, and later fainted on the side of the road, was rescued by passers-by and sent to the hospital, and how he became Robin's guinea pig, and used the script he wrote to get a grant of 30,000 US dollars.
"That's it, I now have 33,000 yuan of start-up capital, so I'm going to prepare my film from now on."
"How? You want to ...... with me."
Before Tang Feng finished speaking, he saw Charlie's eyes glowing and grabbed his arm, and said excitedly: "Yes!" Dream it! ”
"Brother, do you know how long I've been waiting for this day? Now that we finally have this opportunity, let's go and shoot it together! ”
"What about the script? Let me see how great the script you wrote was to make someone you just met willing to lend you money, or all your savings! ”
As he spoke, Charlie dragged the backpack next to him, couldn't wait to turn over the script, and then read the script excitedly. Seeing the highlights, he couldn't stop screaming, he was so excited, but he put Tang Feng aside.
"He said he was going to show me some secret weapon, but now he ignores me. Charlie, take your time, I'm going to take a shower first. ”
Seeing that he completely ignored his existence, Tang Feng shook his head with a wry smile, threw a word and left the garage.
Charlie's bedroom was on the second floor, and the lights in the living room and corridor were not turned on, Tang Feng thought that everyone was asleep, so he tiptoed and walked towards Charlie's room.
As I passed by the master bedroom, I heard a voice talking inside, "I'm sorry William, it was my poor thinking that made us carry such a big burden, but those two children are really pitiful, I hope you can understand me." ”
Tang Feng's brows furrowed slightly, and he thought, "Could it be that they quarreled?" I really didn't think about this decision, and having two more people would definitely add a lot of burden to them. ”
He was thinking about it when he heard William in the bedroom say, "It's all right, Mary." ”
"As soon as I calculated the accounts just now, I was really shocked, I didn't expect that adding two people would increase so much expenses."
"The usual expenses are okay, we and the children save a little money, and there should be no big problem to remove some unnecessary expenses."
"The most difficult thing to do now is Sean's tuition, school is about to start, can we still watch him drop out of school?"
"In that case my conscience will be condemned, you know that my work was introduced by old Allen. In the past, when we were in difficulty, he helped us a lot. ”
Mary also said: "Yes, we just immigrated here at that time, and little Charlie still can't speak, and if it weren't for Allen's help, we wouldn't even have applied for government subsidies." ”
"Later, you couldn't find a suitable job, and it was he who recommended you to a friend, so we slowly got through."
After Mary finished speaking, there was silence in the room, and just when Tang Feng couldn't help but want to knock on the door to explain everything, William said again: "Honey, let's discuss it, why don't we sell the car." ”
"Sean and Charlie are going to college, and Angela's school isn't far away."
"We don't usually go out much, and we can buy it all over the block, but when we usually use it, we will use it a lot less."
Listening to what he said, Mary asked nervously, "Well, that's your treasure, what if I sell you?" You'd have to drive to work every day, so you'd have to take the bus. ”
William said in a nonchalant tone, "It's good to take the bus, and it can save a lot of money, at least I won't have to pay the damn parking fee again." ”
"Don't worry, dear, don't worry about me, didn't I take the bus to work before? We got through it a little harder, but we had to get Sean to college! ”
Tang Feng put down his outstretched hand, he didn't disturb the conversation between the two people, but silently returned to the garage.
When he saw Charlie again, Tang Feng suddenly felt that he was really a little selfish, and William's words kept lingering in his ears, making his nose a little sour, and he secretly thought in his heart: "I must make the movie as fast as possible, so that they won't be so embarrassed!" ”
"Tomorrow I will go to the Screenwriters Guild to submit the script, apply for patents and copyrights, and immediately start preparing!"
