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

Until they drank the delicious lotus root and pork ribs soup at noon, Many Fish had not figured out how to avenge Sister Xu Gui.

But at least I managed to coax Sister Xu Gui into submission.

Sister Xu Gui now opened her big watery eyes and listened to many fish talking about all kinds of new things. She felt that the pork rib soup in her hand didn't taste good anymore.

"It's alright. A gentleman's revenge is never too late. I'll remember this account."

Many fish spoke in a heroic manner, tilting their heads back and drinking the lotus root soup in the bowl in one gulp.

Then, Uncle Xu ruthlessly slapped the back of his head with his iron hand.

"Look at you, you no longer look like a girl, but more like a wild boy."

Many fish rubbed the back of their heads and said unconvincedly:

"My aunt said that she was like this when she was a child."

Uncle Xu took a sip of lotus root soup and squinted his eyes and said:

"Your aunt could stand on a stool and cook at the age of five, but you were still wetting the bed at the age of five."

Many fish took a quick look at Wei Miao and breathed a sigh of relief when they found that she was eating seriously.

Aunt Xu noticed her little action, picked up some food for her man, and whispered:

"What are you going to bring to my sister-in-law's house later?"

As expected, Uncle Xu stopped harping on the issue of Yuyu wetting the bed and started discussing with Aunt Xu what gift to give in return.

Only after everyone was about 90% full did Wei Miao start talking about Sister Xu Lan's problem.

"Sister Lan's spoken English and French are good enough for use in a coffee shop."

Hearing Wei Miao say this, Uncle Xu and Aunt Xu were stunned.

They had no idea that their taciturn eldest daughter would be so smart.

Wei Miao knew that they had misunderstood. What she had taught Sister Xu Lan in the past month were just simple service terms and things like coffee shop food.

Sister Xu Lan is also very hardworking. She remembers the letters that Wei Miao taught her quite clearly, but she has to rely on rote memorization for things like words.

The stupid way to remember pronunciation is to memorize it by rote without writing it down and then remember it using stereotypes.

Sister Xu Lan is not very smart, but she is very tenacious. After determining her goal, she spends every moment completing the words and sentences that Wei Miao teaches her every day.

Several times Wei Miao saw her blushing as she went to ask for advice from Li Xiaoya or Patrolman Xiao Wu.

Even Lu Pingsheng, who occasionally came home, was not spared.

It’s just because she said she was a little timid and should talk more to strangers.

"Ah Miao, I absolutely agree with what you said. If Sister Lan gets a decent job, her life will be better in the future."

Aunt Xu ignored my uncle's hesitation and was the first to express her opinion.

Wei Miao pretended not to see Uncle Xu's entanglement and said:

"I asked Sister Hu Na, the waiters in their coffee shop who can speak foreign languages ​​get paid one dollar more."

Wenchang Coffee Shop has a good business and the employees’ salaries are much higher than other places.

After Hu Na was promoted to foreman, she earned 30 yuan a month, while ordinary waiters earned 15-24 yuan.

"During the probation period, I only get 15 yuan, but Sister Lan can speak some foreign languages, so Sister Hu Na said I should be able to get 16 yuan, and then I can be promoted to a regular employee depending on my performance." (Note 1)

Wei Miao felt that things went so smoothly probably because he had dinner with Yamashita Tomoko in the cafe that day.

After all, he was the one who had dinner with the wives of high-ranking gendarmerie officials. This was a huge connection that might not be useful, but what if?

When Uncle Xu heard that the salary was 16 yuan, his eyes widened. You know, his brother-in-law only earned more than ten yuan a month as a rickshaw driver, which was enough to support a family.

If his daughter could get 16 yuan, their family's life would improve dramatically.

Sister Xu Lan looked at her overjoyed father and her excited mother wiping away tears and said softly:

"Dad, it's true. Miao took me there personally, and that's what the foreman said."

Uncle Xu had a complicated expression for a moment, he really didn't expect it.

Aunt Xu was a weak woman like water, she liked to wipe away tears when she was sad or happy. She said to Wei Miao:

"Ah Miao, thank you, Auntie. I heard the other day that two girls from the next boat went to work in a textile factory. They worked sixteen hours a day and only earned nine dollars."

When Wei Miao left, he made an appointment to come back to pick up Sister Xu Lan after the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Sister Xu Gui cried very aggrievedly, thinking that since her elder sister and younger sister went to her aunt's house last time, it should be her turn this time, but her parents didn't let her go.

"You are just biased. You think I'm the middle child, so you don't like me!" The twelve-year-old girl, who had a strong sense of self-esteem, stomped her feet and went crazy on the deck.

He was beaten again by Uncle Xu.

Many fish were also in tears and had no time to comfort their bad-tempered second sister.

Wei Miao did not look back at the chaos behind her, as she had no say in the matter.

Uncle Xu was determined not to let the two children go again, as he felt that his sister's family was not having a good time either, and if they always helped their mother's family in the village, their brother-in-law would have something against him.

When Wei Miao was passing by the dealership on his way back, Liu Heitan happened to be there. He was very happy to see Wei Miao.

"Ah Miao, come and see your father's car."

Wei Miao called out, "Uncle Heitan, my father has been waiting at home all day. I came to take a look. Are you here to repair the car too?"

After the last incident, Liu Heitan returned to the car dealership and continued pulling carts.

Liu Heitan said with a tired look:

"Yes, I drove a man from the International Settlement to the French Concession and back again this afternoon. I was so tired that I almost collapsed. As soon as he got off the car and left, I realized that the parts of the car were worn out, so I hurried to repair it."

While the two were talking, the clerk from the car dealership came out, saw Wei Miao and said with a smile:

"Brother Wei, I just happened to tell you that your car has been repaired and you can take it home."

Wei Miao checked carefully and found that all the curved parts of the roof had been repaired.

The deformed parts were put back in place, the fabric on the ceiling looked brand new with some lace, and the marks left by the shooting were also painted with new paint, and it looked no different from a new car.

She happily paid the balance, and then worried about how to get the car back.

Liu Heitan saw it, wiped his hands with the towel around his neck, and said with a smile:

"Ah Miao, uncle will take it back to you. It just so happens that I haven't seen your father for quite a while."

Wei Miao asked, "Uncle Heitan, aren't you going to drive the car this afternoon?"

The guy from the car dealership next door interrupted:

"He can't get away today. The worn parts won't be available until tomorrow. He can only come and pick up the car tomorrow."

Liu Heitan pulled Wei Miao all the way towards the alley. In the not very spacious alley, the brand new rickshaw was very conspicuous.

Those who were basking in the sun in the afternoon sighed when they saw Wei Miao sitting inside:

"Oh my, the eldest son of the Wei family has finally learned how to enjoy himself and is riding in a rickshaw."

Mrs. Dong leaned against the door of the barber shop, covered her mouth and laughed sweetly:

"There's nothing wrong with a rickshaw driver's son riding in a rickshaw."

The aunt who asked Hao Haoyu for coal slag in the morning lived next to Wei Miao's house. She was a gossiper all day long. She stared at the rickshaw for a long time, clapped her hands and said:

"Oh my, the Wei family has become prosperous. Wei A-da has turned a disaster into a blessing."

Everyone around looked at her, waiting for her next words.

She made a gesture before speaking, "You know, the car dealership sent them some supplements last time."

Everyone in the alley knew about it, and they thought it was the car dealership causing trouble, so they all hid in their homes.

"These days, after Wei A Daneng went to work, he looked out the door every day, asking why his rickshaw was not ready yet!"

Mrs. Dong lightly lifted her hair and asked curiously:

"What do you mean?"

Auntie said, "I heard them quarrelling one day, and I heard that the rickshaw company gave the rickshaw to Wei."

This sentence made everyone who was listening to the noise in the alley suddenly confused.

"So Wei Ada got a rickshaw for free?"
