Chapter 7: The Family
The parting was too hasty, and there was not even a kiss to say goodbye, Li Wei was very sad. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
After a few years, will he regret not following Anji to Happy tonight, Hi Pi to China.
On the way home, he couldn't help but sing a song, what a painful realization, I always cry when I think of that night......
It wasn't hot in Los Angeles in August 1990, and it was supposed to be a great place to live.
However, it rained today, which brought inconvenience to travel.
At 6 a.m., Li Wei put Frank. Mel left in the field and took a taxi back to Rowland Heights.
When the day comes to repay the debt, he is not ready to hide, he will give the full amount of 30,000 US dollars to Andrew. Brown, it's a choice he has to make, he can't do it like he did against Frank. Mel went to deal with Andrew. Brown because Andrew. Brown is doing a legitimate business, he has a team of lawyers to escort him, and the police and judges are behind him, and if Li Wei is ruthless, he is destined to be played to death.
He even hit Andrew. Brown couldn't do it with a single punch, and an indictment was enough to put him in jail.
There is a line in a Hollywood movie: America is not a country, it is just a business!
In the business field, Li Wei must abide by the rules, and only when he has his own lawyer, a judge who is in cahoots with him, and a police officer who charges for him, can he deal with Andrew. Brown's qualifications.
And the premise of all this is to have money.
He needed to endure for a while.
Old Will is still in the hospital, and the family can't afford to hire nursing, Mrs. Vicky took on this position free of charge, and Li Wei did not go home, he went directly to the hospital.
The ward was on the second floor, and Old Will couldn't afford to live in a luxurious VIP, he was lying in an ordinary double room, with an oxygen mask on his mouth, and he had been in a coma for three days.
His life was saved, and it is still impossible to determine whether there are sequelae, after all, it was the head that hurts, and the attending doctor, Dr. Marshall, is pessimistic that he will be at risk of becoming a vegetative person, and even if he is lucky enough to regain consciousness, his labor force will definitely be lost.
This is unfortunate for Li Wei, but it is also a great luck, the old Will has been addicted to gambling for more than 20 years, and he can't quit if he wants to quit, he will only gamble when he has less money, and when he has more money, he will definitely make selfless contributions to the major casinos in the United States.
When Li Wei pushed open the ward, he found that there were many people standing inside, Mrs. Vicky in front of Old Will's bed, and Steve and Hannah were chatting without a word.
Another patient in the ward was a white man in his sixties, Li Wei had greeted the old man's wife, Mrs. Peyton, the last time he came.
The old man had a heart attack, had just undergone surgery, and was a critically ill patient like Old Will.
"Hey, little Will, I've come to visit your father!" The old lady Peyton was the first to notice Li Wei, it was quite enthusiastic, Li Wei didn't know why, but he only regarded the old lady as a warm-hearted Virgin Mary.
He smiled and said, "Good morning lady, is Mr. Peyton better?" ”
Old Mrs. Peyton immediately became depressed, sighed, and said, "He is so sick that he may have to leave me!" ”
"Madam, Mr. Peyton is a good and upright man, God will surely bless him and will not let him leave his beloved relatives, please be optimistic, I will pray for him too!"
"Oh, you're right, God is blessing him." The old lady reverently drew a cross, she saw that Li Wei had walked to Old Will's bed, so she stopped talking, picked up a glass of water and drank it slowly, but her eyes did not leave Li Wei, she liked this smart and sensible child, she was going to introduce her granddaughter to him.
After Li Wei sat down, his smile disappeared immediately, he looked at Steve gloomily, and said lightly: "Uncle, I'm going to get your money back!" ”
"Oh? Did you really do it? Steve let out a low cry of disbelief
"What money, how much?" Before Li Wei could speak, Mrs. Vicky suddenly interjected, she was very nervous that she was going to repay her debt today.
"That's a total of fifty thousand dollars!" Li Wei replied to Mrs. Vicky, reassuring her first.
Steve understands his nephew, this is a scumbag, he has been insulated from talent since he was a child, so he doesn't believe that Li Wei can recover the debt, unless he does that kind of thing, he suddenly felt a little guilty in his heart, and couldn't help asking: "Will, tell me, how did you do it, and by what means did you get the fifty thousand dollars back?" ”
"I sold a day's kinky!" Li Wei looked at Steve intently, his face was very calm.
But when this sentence was spoken, no one in this room could remain calm.
Old Mrs. Peyton gasped for breath with irrepressible anger, this kid was so disappointing that she immediately turned her head and never looked at Li Wei again.
The nurse next to the old lady turned around curiously, this was a fat girl with freckles, she secretly looked at Li Wei, and felt a burst of envy and jealousy in her heart, hum, that Bichi who prostituted him was really lucky!
Li Wei looked at his relatives, Mrs. Vicky looked blank, and Hannah was at a loss.
The atmosphere fell silent, and Li Wei suddenly added: "My guest is a gentleman, he is very gentle and generous, and after hearing about my difficulties, he paid fifty thousand dollars to help me get through them!" ”
"Poof!"
"Bump!"
Mrs. Peyton was drinking water, and she choked in an instant, and accidentally squirted out all the dentures, and unfortunately, the dentures hit Mr. Peyton's oxygen mask, and her mouth was immediately exposed to the air. The wheezing sound kept coming, and the old lady Peyton was so frightened that she pressed and pressed the oxygen mask again, but she couldn't fit it.
At this moment, the fat nurse is pouting her big ass and lying on the ground to pick up the medical plate, she was shocked by Li Wei's words just now, causing the medical plate to fall off, and her restless mood can't be calmed down, and she can't take care of Mr. Peyton at all.
As a kind gentleman, Li Wei definitely couldn't sit idly by and watch the tragedy happen, and hurriedly pointed at the nurse and shouted, "Hey, chick, your patient needs help!" ”
The nurse looked up, covered her mouth like a ghost, and exclaimed, "Oh, God! The medical plate that had been prepared immediately fell to the ground again.
After a while, Mr. Peyton was pulled out for rescue, and the Li Wei family was left in the ward.
After listening to Li Wei's words, Steve became decadent, he didn't dare to look at Li Wei anymore, bowed his head and said, "I was very angry when you beat me yesterday, so I took out that IOU and wanted you to go to Frank. Mel is humiliated there, and if I knew you were going to sell yourself for money, I would ......"
Li Wei interrupted him and smiled self-deprecatingly, "I've been a stripper, I've been in jail, and I don't mind being a man. Prostitute! Besides, the money I earned was to save my father, and I don't regret it at all! But Steve......"
He suddenly pointed at Steve's nose and said word by word: "I will not allow you to humiliate my family in the future, if you sell Du products in the future, I will not recognize you as an uncle again, and I will never forgive you, I swear!" ”
"Please forgive me Will!" Steve stood up, took Hannah away, walked to the door and turned back and said, "I'll go to Mr. Paul from the Texas gang and ask him to come out with Andrew. Brown talks, I promise you, I won't make the money worthless! ”
