Chapter 21 Fairy Tales Are Unscrupulous

Although the water supply company established in the concession more than 20 years ago provided water to the entire concession, due to limited funds, the pipes laid by the water company could only meet the needs of the foreigners.

The Chinese living in the concession can be divided into three categories, the first type is naturally a rich businessman like Yu Qiaqing, who mostly owns a very deep courtyard in the concession, and this kind of courtyard is mostly Chinese-style architecture, which is not much different from the big families outside the concession.

The second group of people are the landlords who come to Shanghai to buy real estate, the compradors of the Great Ocean Company, the managers of large companies, the managers of large companies, and businessmen like Wang Huairen who have their own shops.

The third group of people are the small traders, dock workers, and shopkeepers living at the bottom of the concession, and most of these people live in simple buildings on the periphery of the concession, which are mostly shared by a few houses, and the environment is dirty and messy, which is a standard slum in the concession.

The first two groups of people live in private wells, and they do not need to buy water from the outside world, while the third group of people mostly buy cheaper well water, or go to the Huangpu River and Suzhou Creek to fetch water, let alone buy expensive tap water, so the water supply companies in the concession have not developed much after more than 20 years of changes.

Sun Wei's washing naturally does not need to be done by himself, and the maid Xiaolan has already prepared it for him before going to bed, but it can only ensure that he simply washes up, and if he wants to take a bath, he can only go to the bathhouse on the street, which is particularly troublesome for Sun Wei, who grew up in modern society, and makes him feel that he needs to change his living environment.

Sun Wei's real age is only twenty-three years old now, which is similar to his age in his previous life, and the difference between this age and his previous life is that in this life, he has been self-reliant for seven years, married for five years, and the head of the family with a four-year-old daughter, which has to make people sigh that the environment creates life!

The previous Sun Wei did have a good time when he and Wang Qian just got married, but with the continuous expansion of his power, the number of women around him continued to increase, many of which were comparable to Wang Qian in appearance, or even more than Wang Qian, and those women were more understanding of the style than Wang Qian in terms of men and women, so the predecessor Sun Wei gradually snubbed this beautiful wife.

Maybe it's the work of feudal thoughts, or maybe it's the previous Sun Wei who has something to attract women, although Wang Qian, who is gradually being snubbed, is cold to her husband in terms of attitude, but she still loves her husband in the depths of her heart, and still imagines that her husband can wake up like Jin Zhizhou, which is why she has been able to take care of Sun Wei after he was injured.

The changes after Sun Wei woke up naturally made Wang Qian see it, from indifference to her daughter to care, from cold words to gentle words to soft words to herself, all of this made Wang Qian feel that she was back in love with Sun Wei, so she changed her previous laissez-faire towards Sun Wei and became a good wife waiting for her husband to return.

Wang Qian, who serves her husband like a newlywed wife, has great temptation and charm in Sun Wei's opinion, and Sun Wei, who is strong-blooded, picked up Wang Qian and walked to the inner room after a hasty wash, and Wang Qian, who successfully returned her husband, seemed more active in bed than last night, and a dragon fight was naturally inevitable.

"Mother, were you sick yesterday and shouted so painfully, why didn't Daddy go to buy medicine for each mother?" During dinner in the morning, her daughter Lingling suddenly asked Wang Qian and Sun Wei, who had just sat down.

"Forehead......" Sun Wei and Wang Qian, who were eyebrows, were instantly embarrassed by what their daughter said, and Wang Huairen, who had already sat down and started to eat breakfast, was almost choked.

"My daughter is really good, my mother was really sick yesterday, but my father will see a doctor and has already helped my mother take care of it. Ah......" Sun Wei's skin is naturally thicker than Wang Qian's, so he explained to his daughter, but as soon as he finished explaining, he screamed in pain, and it turned out that Wang Qian secretly twisted Sun Wei's arm fiercely.

"Daddy, what's wrong with you, are you sick too?" Lingling heard Sun Wei's cry of pain and jumped down from her seat with concern, walked in front of Sun Wei and asked.

"No, Daddy was just bitten by a mosquito, and now he's fine." Sun Wei pinched his daughter's pink little face and said, but after speaking, he also glanced at Wang Qian, who was very embarrassed and angry.

"Lingling, go back to your seat and eat, don't talk nonsense when the child is eating!" Wang Qian didn't want her daughter to be entangled in this issue anymore, so she took out her mother's majesty and ordered.

"Oh, Lingling knows." Lingling saw that her mother was angry, and climbed back to her seat very obediently.

Although Wang Huairen is not an old pedant, he is a real old-fashioned figure, and he is naturally not used to the wanton behavior of young people, but he is the most father, and he is embarrassed to come forward to accuse his daughter and son-in-law, so he glanced at his wife and asked her to come forward to educate these two young people.

Although Mrs. Wang also felt that it was immoral for these two young people to make such a big move at night, especially her daughter, but she liked this change in her daughter and son-in-law the most, but when she saw the look from her husband, she still reprimanded the two of them with her scalp: "You two too, make such a big move, pay attention to it in the future, there are still children at home!" ”

"Mother, don't worry, you will definitely pay attention in the future." Sun Wei saw that his mother-in-law had spoken, and hurriedly apologized.

Compared with yesterday, today's breakfast was a bit dull because of the previous episode, so in order to break the deadlock, Sun Wei took the initiative to say: "Dad, I am going to set up an orphanage and want to recruit a group of teachers, do you have any friends who are familiar with this aspect there?" ”

"It's a good thing to run an orphanage!" Wang Huairen is actually very concerned about this kind of public welfare, and every year he donates a sum of money to the orphanage in the concession, and when he heard that his son-in-law wanted to set up an orphanage, he naturally became interested, and then took the initiative to ask: "Where are you going to do it?" How many people are adopted? I know a lot of people who are profitable to come to you and teach their children to learn. ”

"Dad, the orphanage I run is different from other orphanages, it does not teach children crafts, but teaches them serious cultural knowledge, in general, you can treat it as a free school, and I will send those children who have the talent to study abroad with foreigners." Sun Wei explained.

"Just Mr. Teach?" Wang Huairen asked.

"Yes, only ask Mr. Teach, it's better to stay abroad." Sun Wei nodded and replied.

"Ah Wei, why did you think of setting up an orphanage?" Mrs. Wang asked curiously.

Sun Wei naturally didn't dare to tell the Wang couple what he said to Xie Xu's father and son yesterday, ordinary citizens like the Wang family have a natural fear of such a lofty thing as rebellion, so he changed his way of saying and explained: "In order to cultivate talents, it is not enough for today's society to make the cause bigger only by bearing hardships and standing hard work, and a group of talents with solid professional knowledge are needed to help. I now have a lot of properties in the concession, and I believe that in the future, my property in the concession will be even bigger, which will require a group of talents to manage these industries for me.

In today's country, most of those capable talents are the children of well-off families who have returned from studying abroad, and in their hearts they come out to work only for an objective salary, and they do not have much sense of identity with the company they work for, so there will be things such as filling their own pockets and deceiving their superiors and subordinates. However, the talents I have cultivated are much better, at least for these people, I am kind to them, and they will work hard for me in order to repay the favor.

Of course, not all people can repay their gratitude, but when those who are motivated by profit do things that harm my interests, they will have some guilt, and this guilt will even make them rein in the precipice, which is relatively safe for outsiders, just like the children of large families. ”

"You think really well, a good public welfare undertaking has been run by you, but it has become a place for flies and dogs!" Wang Huairen's original hot mood was instantly extinguished by Sun Wei's words, and he rebuked a little angrily.

"Dad, you can't say that, as the so-called world is bustling for profit, the world is bustling for profit, those foreign churches run orphanages here for preaching, those rich people run orphanages for fame, there is no pure selflessness in the world, and saints can't do it, but I ask for more, I want both fame and profit." Sun Wei was blunt.

"You ......" Wang Huairen is not a person who can speak well, and he naturally can't argue with Sun Wei in terms of sophistry, so he can't help but be angry.

"Look at you, don't say a word, be careful to scare my precious granddaughter." Mrs. Wang saw that her husband and son-in-law had a situation to discuss, so she hurriedly came out to mediate.

"Do you have enough money, I have a few pieces of jewelry that you don't use, you can use them." Wang Qian didn't know the details of her husband's current situation, but she knew that it cost a lot to run an orphanage, so she whispered.

"I'm going to build an orphanage of about 1,000 people, and a lack of money is inevitable, but it's not enough to let my wife pawn jewelry." Sun Wei refused.

"An orphanage of thousands of people, this requires a lot of silver!" The angry Wang Huairen originally wanted to reprimand his daughter who came across from him, but before he could say anything, he was stunned by Sun Wei's introduction.

"It takes about 200,000 taels of silver to buy land to build a house, 50,000 taels or 60,000 taels a year to maintain the normal life of thousands of orphans in the orphanage, and about 100,000 taels to hire teachers. Sun Wei explained.
