Henry went upstairs, quickly went to the floor-to-ceiling mirror, took off his pants, turned his hips against the mirror, and turned his head repeatedly from the left and right sides, but found no of the big black mole that Jack said.

He hurried out of the office, and when he saw that Jack was still downstairs in the hall, he hurriedly said, "I thought about it, I can make a bet with you." ”

"Okay!" Jack came to his senses, "bet on what?

"It's still the same gambling you said. Henry said, already downstairs.

"Okay, how much to bet?" asked Jack.

"Three million dollars. You're not afraid of big, are you?" asked Henry.

"Hahaha......" laughed Jack, "it's a piece of cake! Let's sign the contract!

......

For the next week, Henry focused all his thoughts on his hips every day, and he lost count of the number of times he looked in the mirror.

In order to see it realistically, he also bought a mirror and held it in his hand to look at the floor-to-ceiling mirror.

He had never felt that time had passed so slowly—a week was harder than a year.

Finally waiting for the agreed "opening" time, Henry let out a long sigh of relief, with a bright smile on his face, lifted his pants and went downstairs.

Jack and Lee De-seok have arrived, and they have brought quite a few people with them.

Jack read out the bet contract. Henry triumphantly took off his pants and let others witness whether he had a large black mole on his buttocks.

The people in the hall laughed, and some people took pictures with cameras.

"Nope. Lee looked at Henry's buttocks carefully, and then said to Jack, "Mr. Jack, you lost. Please fulfill the contract!"

Jack pulled out his checkbook, wrote a $300,000 and handed it to Henry: "You won." Congratulations!"

Henry got carried away with joy, holding his pants in one hand and taking the check in the other.

"Ladies and gentlemen," said Jack again, "let's fulfill our contract!"

This time he made a bet, and Jack made a total of $1.15 million.

......

It turned out that after Jack left HSBC that day, he immediately found "Los Angeles Finance".

The editorial office of the newspaper published a bet advertisement:

"Six days later, I was able to get Mr. Henry, the bank's managing director, to take off his own pants and have his buttocks look at him in the lobby of the HSBC Bank in Los Angeles.

If you don't believe in miracles, you can make a bet with yourself with a bet of not less than $300,000.

Notary Public: Mr. Tom, Editorial Director, Los Angeles Financial News. ”

Betting, like gambling, is legal in Los Angeles, but U.S. intelligence agencies have found Jack.

Jack had to be instructed by American intelligence agencies to return to China to try to get close to and prevent Japan or Tsarist Russia from making a fuss about Pu Yi.

At that time, the revolutionary program of the League to drive out the Tartars allowed Tsarist Russia and Japan to take advantage of the loophole - Tsarist Russia took the opportunity to win over the Mongols and frantically invade and divide Chinese territory, while Japan wanted to control the Qing Dynasty and depose the emperor Puyi.

In the face of the frenzied division of China's fat meat by the great powers, the United States has never been willing to sit idly by.

Jack came to Peking to continue his preaching career and used it as a cover to find an opportunity to get close to Pu Yi.

Soon, Jack's plot succeeds - Li Dexi becomes Pu Yi's attendant.

However, at this time, Li Dexi, whether it was the Bible or reading Pu Yi, who was three years younger than him, was not interested.

It was only because Jack repeatedly emphasized to him how important knowledge and wisdom are to deception, especially life, that Lee De-seok took the plunge to learn.

Because his braids were cut, Shen Yunshan didn't dare to go back to Chunan Town alone. He remembered his eldest brother, Shen Yunliang.

At the beginning, in order to avoid debts, Shen Yunliang fled to his wife's maiden house with his wife and children.

After Shen Yunshan settled down in Jinan Town, he once found Shen Yunliang and persuaded his family to move over.

Because he was worried that Shen Yunshan owed too much to others and had not paid it off, Shen Yunliang's wife Shen Qin refused to agree.

This time, Shen Qin's clan still didn't agree at first. However, seeing Shen Yunshan's appearance of "not giving up until the Yellow River" and her posture of begging for nothing, she couldn't resist it in the end.

Back in Chunan Town, Shen Yunshan bought the Ding family teahouse and gave it to Shen Yunliang. The Ding family teahouse has since become the Shen family teahouse.

No one in Jinan Town knew the real source of Shen Yunshan's money, but they just heard him say that he was lucky by doing business and gambling. People listened with envy, but no one suspected anything.

Moreover, Shen Yunshan occasionally lent money to neighbors who were struggling to live, and when he was not in stock, he would also give steamed buns to beggars passing by the door.

As a result, he has always had a good reputation in the town. When he saw that there were few people in the town office and he couldn't keep busy, he felt that he had some culture, so he often took the initiative to help.

Half a year later, the revolutionary army arrived in the town of Jinan. The old-fashioned mayor would rather lose his position than have his braids cut off.

So, coupled with all the scheming he had spent before, Shen Yunshan easily got the position of mayor of Jinan Town.

The southeast side of Da Li Zhuang is Guan Zhuang, and Xi Yunhong, whom Li Dalong liked when he was sixteen years old, married Guan Dabao, the butcher of Guan Zhuang.

Most pig farmers will choose to kill pigs for happy events or Chinese New Year's holidays, and give pigs into the water - that is, pigs' internal organs, hooves and tails - to the pig killers as wages.

In addition to keeping pork for their own use, pig farmers distribute it to relatives, friends and neighbors. Only those who are worried about not being able to collect the money for pork will sell the meat to the pig killer at a low price, so that the pig killer can make a little more difference.

In these years, the farmers in Zhuangzi could not even eat enough, and there were fewer and fewer pig raisers, only a very small number of people would sell their adult pigs to pig killers, and the number of people who could afford pork was even more pitiful.

Therefore, the housekeeper usually survives hunger or semi-starvation, and only when Guan Dabao occasionally has a business and takes back the pig into the water, the family can live a good life for a day or two.

Guan Dabao married Xi Yunhong, so naturally changed her name to Guan Xi according to local customs.

They gave birth to a girl, and Guan Dabao named her Guan Xiaoya - there were too many girls called "girl" at that time.

Seeing that Guan Xi's took out the old textbooks in the private school as soon as he was free, Guan Dabao was very annoyed, so he rented two acres of land from the landlord of the village for her to plant.

A year's harvest is not enough for half a year's ration, except for the rent, but without this food, I am afraid that the housekeeper will not even be able to sustain himself from hunger.

In the spring, when the greens are scarce, you can see women and children picking wild vegetables everywhere on the edge of the fields.

Guan Xiaoya is eight years old, and like the girls next door, she often carries a willow basket and picks wild vegetables with their mother.

The early spring is beautiful, although the buds on the branches are just rising, and the water of the Wujiao River is still a little chilly, but the breeze is light, and it is very warm and pleasant.
