CHAPTER XXXV
At the door of Hadley Foreign Bank, Manager Xiao sent Wang Wenwu out with a smile on his face.
"Master Wu, I already want someone to send a telegram to Vladivostok, no more than two months at most, and I will send it to you as soon as possible."
"Then you're informing me!"
"Okay, okay, Master Wu, go slowly, be careful."
"Okay, let's go."
After Wang Wenwu settled the money for Banye, he went to HSBC to exchange the cheque of 15,000 silver dollars for the deposit receipt of 12,000 silver dollars and 3,000 silver dollars. Because the amount is not small, the bank manager personally handles it, and the speed is much faster.
After coming out of the bank, Wang Wenwu went to Hengxingxiang again, after all, the shopkeeper Zhao of Hengxingxiang was the first, but he helped a lot, and even the tea money was confiscated.
When I walked into Hengxingxiang, I saw that the shopkeeper Zhao was counting the accounts.
Wang Wenwu stepped forward: "Shopkeeper Zhao, are you busy here?" ”
Shopkeeper Zhao looked up and saw that it was Wang Wenwu, and immediately got up: "Yo, Master Wu is here, come, please take a seat." ”
He turned to the guy and said, "Go make tea, get my good tea." ”
Wang Wenwu hurriedly said: "Don't, it's just ordinary." ”
Shopkeeper Zhao said to the guy: "What are you doing in a daze, why don't you go and make tea." ”
said to Wang Wenwu: "Master Wu, here, how can you not make good tea." ”
"Just wait and don't out,"
"Why, you laughed, how could I bomb you."
"Then you take this first." As he spoke, Wang Wenwu handed over thirty silver dollars.
Shopkeeper Zhao looked at the thirty silver dollars, "Master Wu, what do you mean by this!" ”
Wang Wenwu saw that Zhao's shopkeeper confiscated it and said, "I sold the skin,"
"What should I do, you still take back the money," said he pushed the money back to Wang Wenwu.
Wang Wenwu looked at the money that was pushed back, "I bought some things in a foreign company, and the price they gave was not bad, so I sold them all to a foreign company." ”
"You don't have to tell me this, you didn't sell me this time, isn't there a next time, besides, we're all so acquainted."
"Shopkeeper Zhao, even if we are familiar, I will be embarrassed!"
"This business has always been expensive, don't be embarrassed."
"You say this, oh, compared to you, I'm a small-bellied chicken intestine." Wang Wenwu put the money away again as he spoke.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute, I'll be the east, let's go to Guangfu Building to see what you think!"
"No, no, I also made an appointment with someone to visit Weizhai, and besides, how can I let you be the east, it must be me to be the east, don't you rob me, rob me, be careful that I am in a hurry with you, you know!"
"I know, I know, I heard that Master Wu, you were happy with your son again last month."
"Oh, you heard it, it's a girl, and my daughter-in-law is worried about affecting her graduation now."
"Yo, it turns out that Mrs. Sister-in-law is still a female gentleman."
"I haven't graduated, I haven't been a teacher, and I don't deserve to be called a female gentleman."
"Deserved, deserved, martial master, you are really a good skill!"
"Ah, I'll do the east, Guangfu Lou, you can order it casually!"
"Okay, good, you are a blessed man, and there are several sons!"
"It's already five boys, and now it's only two years old, and when it comes to the age when people are idle and tired of dogs, I have a headache when I think about it now."
"Drink, just laugh secretly, don't you know, the last time your little five was a full moon, Cheng Ji's shopkeeper Cheng stared at your little five's eyes and was about to pop out."
"There were a lot of people at that time, and I really didn't pay attention to what's wrong with Cheng Ji's shopkeeper."
"What else, isn't it just that he doesn't have a son, he just doesn't have a son's life, counting last year, thirteen girls."
"Shopkeeper Cheng doesn't look very old, and he still has a chance."
"It's not big, it's almost the year of his fate, if he can't give birth to his son Cheng Ji, he will have to change his surname."
"Didn't he think about succeeding one? Isn't it said as the old saying is better to be born than to be nurtured? If you want to be young, it's not bad to bring it up yourself. ”
"Do you think he doesn't want to, when he was young, he thought he was okay, after all, he didn't want his own belongings to give his own seeds."
"That's right, what about now!"
"He's almost fateful, but he won't be able to hold it anymore, and at this time, he is a young man who doesn't understand anything, so isn't the old family having nothing left? is old, and I'm afraid that I'm not close to him, and I'll sell a few girls. Didn't you marry a concubine again last month! ”
"That's my words, there's nothing wrong with Cheng Ji giving his daughter, at least it's his own cub."
"Then you haven't seen a desperate household, that's old and ruthless, the family is all women, if there is no man. For those who eat the desperate household, that is, they are desperate to make money, and it is their relatives who die, but they are not sad at all, but have long begun to plan how to divide the property of the orphan and widow. The valuable things in the family will be looted, and even the pots and pans will not be pulled down, not to mention the family's land and real estate, and what is even more excessive, some women will be sold directly by them. ”
"It's not a robbery, this Cheng Ji won't be like this in BJ City."
"Yes, this is also the case in the countryside, and when the time comes, those relatives will force the Cheng family to set up a flowing water table, and they will keep setting it up, inviting everyone to come and eat, and eat up the whole family. This kind of flowing water banquet can often be eaten for two or three months, and in the minds of those relatives, it is useless to keep this money anyway, and there is no one to inherit, so it is better to take it out for everyone to use, as for whether the woman in this family is dead or alive, it is not their care. ”
"According to what you said, the eldest lady of the Cheng shopkeeper's family can't keep it at all,"
"There are two ways, one is to give birth to a boy, and the other is that Mrs. Cheng should be particularly strong. But now he doesn't occupy any of them. ”
"It seems that when the shopkeeper Cheng left, it was a big show."
"Who said it wasn't, now that the shopkeeper Cheng is in good health, I heard that a poor relative came to the door, and the shopkeeper Cheng didn't have to leave for more than a month. Eat for nothing at home. ”
"This, is this the beginning of the desperation?"
"What, it's all small shrimp now, and they haven't come close yet."
"I've been eating white rice for more than a month now!"
"No, otherwise how could the shopkeeper Cheng look at your son with red eyes!"
"No, how can relatives who are far away not be driven away."
"I heard that it was the Cheng family, sent by the clan, saying that he wanted the Cheng shopkeeper to give him a job and just make ends meet, but that person was completely muddy and couldn't get on the wall, after the Cheng shopkeeper drove the man away, the clan immediately sent someone to ask him to arrange it, otherwise he would not be allowed to enter the ancestral grave after his death and go to the family tree."
"This shopkeeper is not dead yet!"
"But we are just outsiders, once the shopkeeper Cheng leaves, the furniture will be confiscated by the family, but it is all a matter between relatives and friends. is saying that the shopkeeper Cheng has descendants, but he is young and may still be eaten out. ”
Wang Wenwu gasped. "So isn't Shopkeeper Cheng undecided?"
"It depends on whether the shopkeeper Cheng has it, and he has to live until the child is old enough."
Speaking of this, Wang Wenwu and Zhao's shopkeeper were also silent for a while.
