Chapter 231: Busy supporting the family in the foreign land
Wei Miao did not look back. If she had looked back, she would have definitely seen the girl in kimono. It was the fish that the Wei and Xu families had been searching for for a long time.
At this moment, she was holding two boxes of snacks, standing blankly on the side of the road, staring at the familiar figure disappearing before her eyes in a trance.
She ignored the looks of people around her, either in fear or disgust.
When that happened, she really didn't know how to face it.
They all said that life on a ship was boring, but she never felt that way. Instead, she felt extremely happy.
When they were on the Suzhou River, she was the fastest swimmer, and her proudest thing was that she could hold her breath the longest underwater.
Every time my father saw her giggling, he would sigh and say to others: What a lawless tomboy.
When she was at her aunt's house, she took A'ran and A'ling to find the biggest and best coal slag.
My aunt filled her bowl with vegetables and said with a laugh: Our A-Yu is a very bold and capable girl.
When she was in school, she studied hard, participated in various activities, respected her teachers, and was friendly to her classmates.
Teachers and classmates always praise him: What a good student with both good character and good academic performance.
It was just a simple volunteer activity organized by her schoolmates, but her world was turned upside down.
The dead brother, the mother’s tears, the father’s beatings and scoldings, and the sisters’ resentment...
She forgot that she was still a troublemaker who was ignorant of the sufferings of the world.
But that person said that she was not a troublemaker, she just looked at the world with the purest and cleanest eyes.
It was this miserable world that had failed her.
Wei Miao naturally could not hear the sighs of many fish.
At this moment, she was looking at the bearded man who was browsing the bookstore with her out of boredom.
"Brother Wang, is your matter settled?"
Wang Dongting actually saw Wei Miao as soon as she got off the rickshaw. When he was about to step forward to say hello, the young Japanese guy got there first.
He knew that the little brat had a complicated background, but he never expected that he had connections with the Japanese.
Seeing the two of them chatting harmoniously on the busy street, he thought to himself, I'd better not let myself be fooled by this kid.
He was very happy to know that that bastard Hirata had a stroke and was admitted to the hospital.
I came out in such a hurry because I was afraid of missing the opportunity to kill him.
Now that this guy is in the hospital, he has plenty of time on his hands.
Wei Miao looked at the one hundred French francs handed over by Brother Wang and laughed:
"Brother Wang, I will return it to you tomorrow."
Wang Dongting is a straightforward person who doesn't care about details. He was about to pat Wei Miao's shoulder again.
Wei Miao dodged flexibly. This man's strength was different from that of Brother Lu's boiled chicken.
After being patted by Brother Wang, I felt like I might have uneven shoulders.
"Brother Wang, I'm still growing taller. I won't be able to grow as tall and majestic as you."
Wang Dongting looked at the lively appearance of the kid, put aside the scene of Wei Miao chatting with the devil just now, and said with a smile:
"Your head is indeed a little short, like a woman. Are you not getting enough to eat at home?"
Speaking of eating, Wei Miao touched her stomach and felt empty. She hadn't had a full meal for several days.
Although she didn't have any money with her now, she could ask Brother Wang to pay first and pay it back another day.
It's a pity that time is really tight, otherwise I could have a good meal now...
"Brother Wang, I wanted to invite you to dinner, but I'm afraid it's not possible these days." Wei Miao thought for a while and said with some regret.
Wang Dongting saw that her thoughts were written all over her face and smiled:
"I just got out, too. I'm too busy."
Wei Miao picked out a few books, paper and pens, and said to the proprietress when he was checking out:
"Can I make a phone call?"
The proprietress pointed to the clock next to her and said, "Fifty cents a minute."
Even though Wei Miao was considered to be quite wealthy now, he was still shocked by the prices of such luxury items.
Fifty cents a minute, five dollars for ten minutes, which is equivalent to Wu Ma's monthly salary.
At this moment, time is money incarnate.
Wei Miao dialed the number and complained in his heart while waiting for the person to answer the call.
Unfortunately, there was a lot of noise on the phone and no one answered. Just when she was about to hang up, the call was picked up.
"Hello, I'm Lu Pingsheng."
"Brother Lu, I'm at the bookstore on Hongtang Street..."
Wei Miao chattered on and on about how he didn't have any money, how he met Kudo Dalang, and what happened with Wang Dongting.
Lu Pingsheng listened quietly on the other end of the phone, and said after he finished:
"Then you should go home earlier, and I will bring back the clothes you left at my house later."
Wei Miao hung up the phone.
The bookstore owner looked at her as if she were a prodigal. She had never seen anyone talk so much while on the phone.
She talked a lot about something that could be said in just one sentence, and even emphasized the point several times when she saw the raccoon cat at home sleeping soundly in the tree.
When Wei Miao generously handed over a hundred French francs, the proprietress put away her contempt.
This is indeed someone's innocent little master.
Wang Dongting and Wei Miao separated at the door of the bookstore, and they did not make an appointment for when to have dinner together next time.
When Wei Miao returned to the alley, he saw Lu Pingsheng who had just got off the bus at the entrance of the alley.
Lu Pingsheng carried a bag that Uncle Zeng Bao had just delivered to him in the morning and walked towards the alley with her.
When the two pushed open the door, they found Uncle Zeng Bao was already sitting in the yard.
After greeting Wu Ma, the three of them entered Wei Miao's study.
"Ichiro Hirata was admitted to the hospital due to a stroke." Uncle Zeng Bao spoke first.
Wei Miao took the sleeping Ali out of the cloth bag and threw him on the knees of Lu Pingsheng who had just sat down.
Lu Pingsheng pretended to be indifferent and petted the cat.
There are no secrets wherever there are people in the foreign land.
Wei Miao asked, "So the things on the train are not being transported anymore?"
Lu Pingsheng said, "The Japanese have temporarily blocked the train station, but with so many trains coming and going every day, they probably won't be able to block it for too long."
Wei Miao didn't understand this logic. "Sending a stroke victim to the hospital doesn't conflict with transporting the property directly to the dock, right?"
Another person who had the same question as Wei Miao was Kudo Hisayoshi from the gendarmerie.
At this moment, he was slamming the table heavily, and said to the people at the conference table in dissatisfaction:
"General Hirata can be hospitalized, but why aren't the valuables on the train being transported to the dock as planned?"
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said helplessly:
"General Hirata's niece said that she suspected her uncle's illness was not a normal one, but was man-made. All handovers were delayed until her uncle regained consciousness."
Kudo Hisayo snorted coldly. Everyone present knew the purpose of General Hirata personally taking the money back.
"Ms. Yukiko, what opinions does the Special High Technology Department have?" He appeared respectful but was very dissatisfied in his heart.
For a secret service agency, such an important matter actually allowed a teenage girl to come, even though this woman had aristocratic blood...
