Chapter 58: Conflict
"We're not here to ask for accounts." Tom gave way to the place, and Hu Xiaoyan walked to the door, and saw that the space inside was so small that he could not stand on his feet, so he had to stand by the door.
The girl was a blonde beauty, but her beautiful blonde hair was now dry and messy, and her face was haggard and full of all kinds of dust. At night, it looks more like a ghost than a ghost. The little boy had his father's skin color, his mother's pupils, and a half-race face.
The little boy may be precocious, but instead of being afraid, he hugs his mother's shoulder and pats him gently, his eyes calm and full of wisdom.
Hu Xiaoyan nodded secretly. Although it is not the first time that a child from a poor family has been in charge of the family, this time it has brought a different insight to his soul.
"I'm your father's friend."
"Will he ever come back?" The little boy asked.
"Of course, he definitely didn't abandon you, because he couldn't find you, and he was heartbroken. I have been commissioned by him to come and find you. And take you to meet. Hu Xiaoyan tried to make himself appear kind.
"No need. All you need him to do is make sure those villains don't bother us again. The young woman hugged the child tightly, "We are living well now." ”
Hu Xiaoyan looked at the room with a wry smile: "I think you should at least let your children have a happy Christmas, don't you?" ”
The girl's tears flowed uncontrollably.
"Jack!" The girl let go of the child, "Go and see your father." ”
"What about you? Mom? The child's hands were still gripping the girl's arms.
"Mom has to go to work." The girl gently touched the child's head. "Later, will I go back to you?"
The tears on the girl's face were left, marking a slimy black mark.
"Are you lying to me again? Mom? Don't you want to question the man who abandoned his wife? The child said things that were not appropriate for his age.
Hu Xiaoyan could only smile bitterly: "Two of you, it's not early." I'll ask Tom to take a leave of absence for you. I think your sir, the father of the child would be eager to see you by now. As for the rest, you should ask in person, not be sad here. ”
"Tom, you go and pay for the house for them, and remember to quit the girl's job. When you're done, remember to bring your parents to my house for a drink. Hu Xiaoyan commanded lightly.
Tom nodded yes and went downstairs to find the landlord.
Hu Xiaoyan came in unceremoniously, stepped directly on the tattered floor, and opened the cupboard. There were only two sets of women's clothes in it, but there were quite a lot of children's clothes, three or four sets.
Hu Xiaoyan found a bag under the cupboard, and he folded all the clothes and stuffed them in. The girl got up and wanted to stop Hu Xiaoyan, but was stopped by the child.
Packing up and returning clothes, Hu Xiaoyan looked around and didn't find anything to clean up.
But the child dug out a schoolbag under the bed, a schoolbag made of cotton. There aren't many books in it, as you can tell from the thickness. The little boy cherished his back and took his mother's hand.
The girl looked very hesitant, not knowing whether to advance or retreat.
Hu Xiaoyan picked up the bag and walked out. The little boy took his mother's hand and walked out.
When the four of them went downstairs, they saw Tom confronting a group of men.
The one with a very distinctive mustache and a strand of curly hair. If it weren't for that fierce aura that ruined the overall image, this guy would definitely become a noblewoman killer.
"How much do you owe him?" Hu Xiaoyan didn't need to ask to know what was going on.
"Fifty pounds." The girl replied.
Fifty pounds! No wonder this girl ran out. If you continue to follow Wang Wenyuan, maybe you will owe more! You know, the barmaid is only 20-30 pence a day. Of course, the maid ** will be paid by the excess daily salary. And a hundred pence is equivalent to a pound sterling.
Since this girl has come here to stay, the work must not be very good. It's harder to pay off the £50 fee than it is to climb to the sky.
Hu Xiaoyan thought that Wang Wenyuan had put in so much effort for his plane. I suddenly felt how pitiful and ridiculous the efforts of these patriotic Chinese were. Because they don't get anything in return for their efforts at all. The backwardness and decay of the Manchu Qing Dynasty killed and destroyed many Chinese families like Wang Wenyuan?
They are all heroes!
Hu Xiaoyan took out fifty pounds and handed it to Tom, who took it hatefully, and then unwillingly threw it to the mustache and made a little gangster. No one knows the value of fifty pounds better than Tom, the native. In this era when the pound can be exchanged directly for gold, the pound is synonymous with wealth. Ordinary people at the bottom of the world have all their life savings, sometimes not more than fifty pounds.
Five sheets of ten pounds. The mustache looked down and picked up the bills one by one, then put them on his hand and clicked them.
"If I were you, I wouldn't be nosy! Yellow-skinned monkey. A strong man behind the mustache came out with a word.
Hu Xiaoyan, who was about to turn around and leave, paused, in the UK, having money means having everything. So he was really rarely called that since he was a child. After all, his family assets are not antiques, and the funds and farm alone are more than 10,000 pounds, which is a standard middle class. No one looks down on the rich.
But today's words from this strong man made him feel the sadness of being a Qing country again.
"Please apologize." Hu Xiaoyan didn't talk nonsense when he turned around.
The mustache and the strong man behind him were stunned for a moment, and then laughed.
Hu Xiaoyan also laughed, laughing so much that tears remained, which made Tom and the girl's family very stunned. Only Chen Xin sighed in a low voice. He has followed Hu Xiaoyan for the longest time, and he is thirty years older than Hu Xiaoyan, so he can be regarded as the person who sees Hu Xiaoyan most thoroughly.
Hu Xiaoyan is far from being as good as Hu Guangyong's kindness to the world. From head to toe, there is a message from his body, that is, the entanglement of interests!
Hu Xiaoyan smiled and suddenly stopped. Quietly, he pulled out a wad of banknotes from his bosom and threw them on the ground one after the other. After losing ten cards. He smiled lightly and looked at the little gangster: "These ten are deposits." If anyone can give me the heads of these two people. He will be paid a total of £500. ”
Hu Xiaoyan put away the other pounds, put them in the palm of his hand and nodded. Then tuck it into your arms. Turn around and beckon Tom to leave. When Tom passed by the banknotes dropped by Hu Xiaoyan, he couldn't help but pause and looked back at the mustache and the strong man. In his eyes, the heads of these two men were all gold.
