Chapter 49: Convincing People with Virtue (II)
[The second update arrives, ask for collection and recommendation]
Dinner was simple, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, shredded pork with green peppers, Chinese cabbage, and a soup. During the meal, Wu Ming's heart was warm, he hadn't felt at home for a long time. There are adults, children, and the elderly, and the coarse tea and light rice are also happy.
The girl's name is Mu Wanqing, she looks sweet, her skin is a little dark, she is eleven years old, her body is slightly thin, and her face is a little pale because of malnutrition, but a beautiful embryo, when she grows up, will become more and more beautiful. The old man's health was not very good, and his hands were shaking all the time while eating.
The middle-aged woman's name is Mu Qing, the man's name, the woman's body, but she takes on the whole family. Her body is not strong, and she even looks fragile, but she looks so great in Wu Ming's eyes.
Compared with the corpse vegetarian people, Mu Qing's image is unimaginably tall, even if the burden of life is terrible, she still accepts strangers with a smile, gives them dinner, and gives them warmth.
Mu Wanqing was shy and refused to move her chopsticks, glancing at the gobbling people around her from time to time. Wu Ming sandwiched a piece of meat to her and said with a smile: "Eat more." ”
Mu Wanqing looked at her mother, and after getting the affirmation, she said thank you.
Mu Qing said with a smile: "We rarely have meat dishes in a month, you guys are coincidental, today is just the time to add food." ”
Hearing this, Liu Feiyan's hands shook unconsciously, the tip of her nose was sour, she didn't have a big appetite, and she couldn't eat it anymore, and said, "Auntie, we ......"
Mu Qing smiled and said, "Do you think there are still people in the world who have lived these days?" ”
Liu Feiyan nodded.
Mu Qing said: "Actually, our life is not the worst, but now I think it's pretty good." When Wanqing grows up, it will be fine. Now she has good grades, she is the first in her class every year, and she is one of the few top students in the school who does not have to pay tuition. ”
Speaking of his daughter, Mu Qing's eyes were full of pride.
"Hey, it's just that something is wrong now." Mu Qing sighed, "The real estate developer's heart is too dark, and the money given is too small, 15100 square meters, and the people in the factory can't accept it, so they are deadlocked." ”
Liu Feiyan said angrily: "This is too much, how can I have this money, in the front section of the eastern suburbs, the commercial housing is at least 30,000." ”
"People have a backstage, and they are not afraid of us making trouble. Two days ago, the old man of the Wang family was on the roof**, and he was not pressed down, he was fine. If it weren't for the two blacks in the factory who gathered some people to keep watch at night, it is estimated that this area would have been forcibly demolished. Mu Qing shook his head and said, "Poor people, they can't always fight the rich." People wear construction hats, if we don't agree, we are allowed to go in and squat. ”
Liu Feiyan's children of the official family naturally know the tricks, but what can they do, the things that are clearly stipulated can't be done against the state. It's useless to petition for anything, who cares about the little common people?
Wu Ming held the bowl and continued to eat, without interjecting, and soon the dishes on the table were gone. After eating, with a full burp, Wu Ming rubbed his stomach and said with a smile: "Auntie's craftsmanship is very good." ”
Mu Qing smiled: "I haven't had a guest for a long time. You are college students, and Wan Qing will also go to college in the future. ”
Mu Wanqing said softly: "Mom, I will definitely be admitted to college, and I will go to the best university." ”
"Come on, you can definitely get in." Liu Feiyan put down his chopsticks and said with a smile, "I'm enough." Auntie, grandma, eat slowly. After saying that, he walked out of the door.
Wu Ming felt that Liu Feiyan was abnormal, and followed out. Mu Qing looked at the backs of the two, her smiling eyes gradually dissipated, and said to her daughter, "Are you full?" ”
Liu Feiyan stood at the tap water port, with his back to the door, his shoulders slightly loosened, and the afterglow of the sunset sprinkled on the beautiful shadow, looking delicate and moving. Nearly 1.65 meters tall, perfect body proportions, absolutely beautiful, with a slight beauty unique to weakness.
"That's life." Wu Ming said lightly.
Liu Feiyan turned around, his eyes were red, he bit his lip and said, "Can we do something?" ”
"What do you want to do?"
After thinking for a while, Liu Feiyan frowned and said, "I have some savings and can help them." ”
"Good idea." Wu Ming squatted down and lit a Zhongnanhai, swallowing clouds and spitting out fog, the smoke was in the afterglow, and a radius of several meters was confused, "I thought you were going to help the entire Red Star Factory." ”
"I don't have that ability. There are dozens of families in the Red Star Factory, and it is already very good to help one. Liu Feiyan sighed.
Wu Ming snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand, got up and said, "Go in, run out and cry, it makes people feel bad." ”
Liu Feiyan said angrily: "Are you crying? It's not comforting to run out, and laugh at others! ”
When the two entered, Mu Qing cleaned up the table, poured tea, and sat on the chair with a smile. The old man's eyes were staring at a 13-inch old-fashioned color TV, while Mu Wanqing was holding her homework and writing quietly in the corner. Under the noisy TV, in the dim light, Mu Qing looked at her daughter lovingly, and inexplicable hope flashed in her eyes.
Liu Feiyan walked over and asked, "What grade are you?" ”
"Fifth grade." Mu Wanqing whispered, raised her head, under Liu Feiyan's beautiful appearance, she looked like an ugly duckling, and she was extremely shy and immediately lowered her head.
Liu Feiyan touched her head and said, "My name is Liu Feiyan, call me Sister Liu." Sister Wanqing, let me see your homework. My sister's previous homework was pretty good. ”
Wu Ming happily looked at the scene in front of him, and was about to take out his cigarette, thinking that this was indoors, he smiled and retracted it.
Mu Qing went under the TV and took out an ashtray and said, "Take this." Wanqing's dad has been using this. He has a big addiction to smoking. ”
Then he took out two yellow fruit trees from the room and said, "Cheap cigarettes, Wanqing's father is gone, you like to take them." Wasted at home. ”
The yellow fruit tree is very cheap, and it can only be seen in the south, two pieces of five in a pack. Wu Ming hesitated for a moment, and found that the hand stretched out towards the smoke was extremely heavy, and it seemed that the invisible fate had added a heavy weight to it.
The sunset fell, slowly disappearing into the horizon, Wu Ming and Mu Qing chatted for a while, and when they saw that it was getting dark, they got up and said goodbye.
He took out two stacks of banknotes from his arms, put them all down, and said, "A little heart, please accept it." ”
Six thousand, what I got from delivering takeaways, a lot, stayed, Wu Ming said to Mu Wanqing: "Make up for your body, it's too thin." ”
Mu Qing's face changed, he picked up the money, and said, "What do you mean?" Do you still need money for a meal? Take it back, or I'll be angry. ”
Although poor, Mu Qing didn't need other people's charity and was angry at Wu Ming's behavior. Wu Ming knew that he would definitely encounter rejection, and said with a smile: "Auntie, you are wrong, this money is not for you, but for Wanqing." She's not in good health, so let's make up for it. I am growing a body and need these. ”
Before Mu Qing could refuse, Wu Ming said again: "Count what I owe you." ”
Mu Qing's arms were still very straight, and there was no possibility of compromise. Wu Ming finally had to sigh: "Wanqing will be my sister in the future, should my brother give my sister money?" ”
Mu Qing hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and sighed: "I know you have good intentions, but we can't use other people's money for no reason." After winning the struggle with Hengyuan Real Estate, maybe you will get a huge amount of money, and the economic problems in the future will be solved. ”
"Hengyuan Real Estate is a large local enterprise in Shanghai, and the background is extremely tough, and more than a dozen of you may not have enough strength." Wu Ming frowned.
Mu Qing smiled: "Isn't there a law?" I don't believe in poking things out, they don't give in! ”
Mu Qing's eyes are very confident when he speaks, believing that there is light in the world, and looking at everything with a kind heart.
Wu Ming suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, to be honest, without the backing of the Wu family's forces, he Wu Ming was nothing. Since the age of ten, he has constantly wanted to break away from the influence of the Wu family, and in the end, all the respect he received came from the unfathomable Wu Gang and the huge Wu Jialing.
The path he took was one that relied entirely on his own strength. He didn't want others to be him the prince of the Wu family, he just wanted to hear that in addition to Wu Gang, there was another crazy name, and that was Wu Ming.
Wu Ming wanted to tell her that the law was just a tool for the rich to rule over the poor, and morality was just a tool for the poor to restrain the rich. In the face of interests, both law and morality can turn a blind eye. Society has not developed to that point, everything is still waiting for the dawn in the dark.
The dawn of the people is simple and hopeful. And where is the dawn that he Wu Ming expects?
There were several roars outside, interrupting Wu Ming's thoughts. Wu Ming looked out and asked Mu Qing in doubt. Mu Qing ran out of the door, and when he came back after a while, he said angrily: "It's them again!" ”
"Who?" Liu Feiyan asked.
"Red Star Demolition Company. They are the hooligans of this area, and they specialize in cutting off children and grandchildren. A few days ago, I pulled 70-year-old Uncle Ma out of the house and pushed the house directly. Mu Qing gritted his teeth and said, "Uncle Ma can only live by guarding the grocery store at the door, and his son and daughter-in-law and my wife both died at the same construction site." ”
"Isn't it forbidden to be demolished?" Liu Feiyan, thinking of the rickety back at the door, followed indignantly.
"Let's report to the police station, and the police said that they would investigate, but now there is no result." Mu Qing's eyes were dim, knowing that things were going to be fine, and sighed.
"Let's go out and have a look." Wu Ming frowned and said, "I feel wrong when I make trouble at night." ”
On the wide lawn of the Red Star Factory, it used to be a large factory, and thousands of people worked together, and the scene was spectacular, but now it is not what it used to be, it has changed.
"Everyone, our Red Star Demolition Company will not do that kind of arrogant and unreasonable thing, there is a misunderstanding, let's sit down and talk about it." In the faint light of the fire, a Humpty Dumpty man shouted, "We are to convince people with virtue, do not use violence, and we dare not do anything that violates the law!" ”
"Convince people with virtue!" Wu Ming listened, not only shook his head with a smile, "It's a little interesting." ”
