I traveled through time without patched pants, I was the richest man in the Republic of China

In the car, Zhu Qi drove forward carefully, and halfway through, he met the parade.

"Oppose monopoly, oppose profiteering from national disasters..."

"We refuse to be slaves, we want to be human beings, we want to eat, we want to wear clothes, overthrow the capitalists!"

"Drive out the invaders! Freedom! Democracy! Equality!"

Cui Lijuan looked at the dense crowd passing by and said quietly:

"In this world, ordinary people's lives are hard no matter how they live. In the past, rice and flour were expensive before the Spring Festival, and this year the price of cotton yarn has skyrocketed, but the workers' wages have not increased but decreased. It's really disgusting."

Zhu Qi looked at the crowd outside, whose faces were filled with anger but ragged and skinny, and a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes.

When he turned his head and spoke to Cui Lijuan, his face was full of tenderness.

"Yes, people's lives are becoming increasingly difficult. When we were in school more than ten years ago, Shanghai was very prosperous."

When talking about her student days, Cui Lijuan's cheeks flushed again.

Kawasaki Michiichi was very proud in his heart, as he had been drafted to Kanto before he even graduated. He never expected that the woman whom he had just played with casually at the beginning had actually been waiting for him passionately.

He learned from Cui Lijuan's good friends as dancers that although she had been in brothels over the years, she thought she had always remained a virgin.

Although such a woman cannot be married home, she is more than enough to be a shield.

But on this trip today, he decided to change his mind. Now he needs an identity that seems more stable, a passionate man who is in love.

Cui Lijuan turned her head to look out the window, leaving Kawasaki Michiichi with a crimson earlobe.

But in her heart she was thinking her own thoughts.

The missing lover came back just in time, as she just needed a chance to integrate into the Japanese circle.

Originally, this man was polite to her with a hint of ambiguity, but after meeting A Miao today, he became obviously more warm.

Sometimes, men are always ordinary and confident, thinking that women understand nothing except love.

I think they are stupid and ridiculous.

Wei Miao ate until his belly was full and felt a little warmer. He paid the bill and said goodbye to Xiao Jiangsu.

Xiao Jiangsu was obviously stimulated by the man Cui Lijuan brought back, and was absent-minded.

"Ah Miao, are you serious about what Li Juan is saying this time?"

He gave Wei Miao change.

Wei Miao thought about it for a moment and said uncertainly, "Is he in love with me?"

Little Jiangsu looked even more depressed. "I know she has high standards."

"Uncle, I think that man is not as good as you." Wei Miao commented very pertinently.

Little Jiangsu felt that Wei Miao was comforting him, "He is handsome, well-dressed, and drives a car. How can we compare?"

Wei Miao ate the wontons he had been craving for, and suddenly he didn’t want to go home so soon. He sat by the stove with Xiao Jiangsu and analyzed the food for him.

"So, what does he like about Sister Lijuan?"

Cui Lijuan is now in her early thirties. She looks okay, but also looks old.

There is no shortage of girls of Shucong's age in Shanghai.

"Lijuan is fine." Xiao Jiangsu defended his sweetheart.

"We naturally know that Sister Lijuan is a very good person. Mr. Zhu came to visit her, and it is obvious that the two of them are discussing marriage..."

Before Wei Miao could finish his words, little Jiangsu covered his face and sobbed.

Wei Miao felt a little annoyed for being too talkative and racked his brains to comfort him, but the more little Jiangsu listened, the sadder he became.

"Ah Miao, what happened to my dad?"

The young man's deep voice came from behind him. Wei Miao looked up and saw a uniformed patrolman standing at the door.

There were four or five men wearing the same patrol uniforms following behind him.

"Brother Nanjing." Wei Miao's eyes were shining. This was simply her savior.

Little Jiangsu, who was crying with his head covered, paused, quickly looked up, and looked at his son and his subordinates with some embarrassment.

"Uncle, whoever bullied you, I will go and settle the score with him."

The speaker was a tall and thin young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he was filled with indignation.

The others were also ready to go, as if as long as Xiao Jiangsu said a name, they would immediately fight to the death.

Little Nanjing turned around and said to them, "Do you guys want to smash it?"

Unexpectedly, the few people who were shouting just a second ago suddenly became very obedient.

Wei Miao blinked his eyes. It was really interesting.

At this time, Xiao Jiangsu had already wiped his face clean and said with red eyes:

"Nothing, nothing. I was just cutting some green onions and it burned my eyes."

Little Nanjing suppressed his doubts and said, "Dad, can you make wontons? We just got off work and haven't eaten yet."

"We can do what we can. We can do what we can. Hurry up and ask Dongzi and the others to come into the house. The cold wind outside is making our faces hurt."

As soon as a few young men came in, the small room suddenly became cramped.

Although Wei Miao wanted to talk more to Xiao Nanjing, it was obviously not the right time.

"Brother Nanjing, I've been at home these days. Come and play with me when you have time."

Little Nanjing looked at the taller Wei Miao and said helplessly:

"After we finish eating, we still have to go to work."

Wei Miao did not ask him why he came to the Chinese area from the International Settlement to do business.

There are many chaotic situations in Shanghai. Everyone has his own territory, but they have also formed their own tacit understanding and sometimes do things their own way.

Wei Miao waved his hand, turned and walked towards home, and heard complaints behind him.

"That Zhong guy is just trying to make things difficult for us. He asked us to come to the Chinese territory in this freezing cold weather to catch a female thief. We have only heard of flower thieves, but never heard of a female thief."

"What did this woman steal that caused such a big fuss to hunt her down?"

"I heard that this woman disguised herself as a socialite and stole a gift for the Queen from the director's safe."

Little Nanjing knocked on the table and said, "If you want to talk nonsense, we can just arrest people based on the pictures."

The others fell silent.

Wei Miao also quickened his pace and walked towards the door, took out the key from his pocket and opened the door.

The gate was opened, startling a few birds that were perched on the snow and making them fly up to the trees.

Wei Miao closed the door and looked around. Because no one had swept the snow, the snow had accumulated into grains and had not melted.

In addition to bird claws, there is also a row of cat claws on it.

"Ahri?"

Wei Miao tried to call out.

She didn't actually feel Ahri's presence.

Sure enough, after shouting twice, there was no response.

When Wei Miao was about to push the door and enter the room, he suddenly paused.

The silk thread that Brother Lu put on the padlock broke.

Someone has been to this yard!

Wei Miao unlocked the door without changing his expression and glanced around the living room.

"Dingling bell~"

In the silent and dusty room, there was a half-covered footprint.

After the phone rang several times, Wei Miao answered it, "A Miao?"

Lu Pingsheng's voice on the phone sounded a little tipsy.

"Brother Lu."

Lu Pingsheng breathed a sigh of relief, "I called the villa and they said you were out and not back..."

The tacit understanding between the two meant that neither of them needed to say the rest of the words.

"It just so happens that the rents have to be collected before the New Year, and there are a few houses that are going to increase their rents. Please help me deal with them all at once. Also, you said a few days ago that you wanted to increase production. Please solve it immediately. Do you understand?"

Wei Miao tilted his head and thought, feeling a little confused.

Hearing the singing and laughter coming from the phone, the words on my lips were immediately stopped.
