I traveled through time without patched pants, I was the richest man in the Republic of China
Chapter 57: Busy raising a family in a foreign land 57
As soon as Brother Cai left, Wei Ada's exclamation was heard from upstairs.
When Wei Miao went upstairs, he heard him instructing Wei Ran to ask Doctor Ding to come over.
Wei Ran put on his jacket and went downstairs, bumping into Wei Miao.
"Grandma has a fever." Wei Ran's voice was filled with panic.
Wei Miao told him to be careful on the road. After watching Wei Ran disappear, Wei Miao knocked on his parents' door.
Wei Ada was carefully wiping Xu Ayu's forehead with a clean towel.
"I've already told you, my forehead is swollen because I accidentally fell while carrying a load. If you don't believe me, ask Ah Miao."
Wei Miao looked at Wei Ada's stretched face and Xu Ayu's flying eyes, and nodded.
Wei Ada didn't know whether he believed it or not, he kept muttering: "The New Year is coming soon, you should just rest at home for the next few days and don't go anywhere."
Xu Ayu was anxious, "Now is the time to make money. If I don't go, it will be like tearing my heart out."
Wei Ada hesitated and said, "You are tearing my heart out by doing this."
Wei Miao looked at the two of them being so affectionate, trembled, and handed the hundred yuan in his hand to Xu Ayu.
"Mom, this is Brother Cai's apology money."
Wei Ada looked at the 100 French francs and curled his lips, "He still has some conscience. Your mother has a high fever and her forehead is red and swollen. This little money can't buy a long life..."
Xu Ayu was wondering what was going on when he heard Wei Ada's disgusting tone and his face turned red.
When I looked up, I found that the child was no longer in the room, and I breathed a sigh of relief.
After resting at home for a week, Xu Ayu couldn't stay any longer and kept asking Wei Miao about the affairs of Shilipu Wharf.
This wharf is the largest in the Far East, and it is the first stop for many people coming to Shen City from China and abroad.
The Green Gang bosses made their fortunes here, and famous businessmen landed here.
During these chaotic years, this place has become a mixed place of five gangs. Smaller gangs like the Iron Head Gang don't dare to act arrogantly here.
Wei Ada and Wei Miao were unable to persuade Xu Ayu, so they had to accompany her to the dock for three days.
Brother Cai’s reputation is indeed useful. As long as they pay enough daily membership fees, no one will cause trouble even if their business is booming and people are jealous of them.
Wei Miao followed for another three days, but when he saw that Xu Ayu was like a fish in water, he decided not to follow him anymore.
Instead, Wei Ling and Wei Ran somehow persuaded Wei Ada and Xu Ayu, and the two little kids went to the dock with Xu Ayu every day.
His little face was chapped by the sea breeze, but he was grinning happily.
Wei Miao stayed at home reading. Ever since the last incident at the dock, her sea of consciousness had expanded and her mind had become clearer.
She was able to understand things that she didn't understand in the past, and she especially focused on sulfonamide and easily understood the principles behind it.
Now, if she had a tool, she felt that she could purify the white wave from the dye.
The day before Laba Festival, Lu Pingsheng, whom I hadn’t seen for a long time, came to my house with gifts.
In order to prepare for the festival and New Year's goods, Xu Ayu reluctantly did not go out to make money.
"Oh, Auntie Ayu, I smelled this rich aroma at the entrance of the alley, and it made me drool all the way."
Lu Pingsheng was not at all shy. He greeted Wei Ada first, then complimented Xu Ayu, and gave a bag of high-quality candy to Wei Ling, asking the younger ones to share it.
Finally, he pulled Wei Miao into the study.
Wei Miao looked at his cheerful face and asked, "Are you in love too?"
Ever since Wu Ziyang and Li Xiaoya confirmed their relationship, they have been inseparable and are a pair of young people who openly joke with each other in the alley.
Someone is watching when Wu Ziyang will break up.
For example, people like Mrs. Dong think that a playboy like Wu Ziyang will never look back. Once the novelty wears off, he will naturally look for the next one.
Someone is waiting for Wu Ziyang's wedding candy.
For example, people like Grandma Cui think that Wu Ziyang is a prodigal son who has returned to the right path, and that Li Xiaoya is good-looking and has a good job. If they don't want a girl like this, it's really...
Lu Pingsheng touched his face and said with a smile: "Did you figure it out?"
Wei Miao remained silent, saying that human love affairs were very complicated.
Seeing her like this, Lu Pingsheng felt that it was meaningless and took out five gold bars from his briefcase.
Wei Miao looked at him.
Lu Pingsheng said: "That bastard you introduced me to made the money from buying sulfa from me at a high price."
Wei Miao's eyes widened, "This money..."
Lu Pingsheng knew what she was going to say and interrupted her: "Do you think that the price of the sulfa drugs that the three of them sold themselves was that?"
Wei Miao was silent. She had never thought about this question.
While she was thinking, Lu Pingsheng, with a guilty look in his eyes, raised his hand and rubbed the little kid's hair. It was soft and didn't look like a man's hair at all.
"But it's okay if you don't know. I'm different from them. My money is my own. I don't need to take care of others. They have to use their money to manage the relationships behind them."
Wei Miao flipped through the books casually and said indifferently: "I didn't want so many in the first place."
"But what belongs to you must not be less, right!" Lu Pingsheng added what Wei Miao didn't finish.
Wei Miao pursed his lips, indeed unhappy.
She has always known that humans are complex, and adults are even more so, and can behave to extremes when interests are at stake.
Lu Pingsheng put his arm around his neck and said, "But I'm different. I got ten more gold bars this time. I'll give you half of them."
Wei Miao tilted his head to look at his flamboyant eyebrows and eyes, trying to see something from them, but he only saw his own small reflection.
"Ah Miao, I know your goal is not money, and mine happens to be neither. You want your father, mother, brothers and sisters to live a good life, and I want the entire nation to live a good life..."
Wei Miao heard his slow and firm voice entering her ears, and the feeling that made her extremely comfortable began to linger in the air again.
She breathed in greedily, not wanting to miss out on this pure power of faith.
After Lu Pingsheng finished speaking, he realized that Wei Miao's face, which was originally pale, had become much rosier. He thought that he had choked her when he hugged her neck, so he quickly let go.
"Brother Lu, tell me about your plans." Wei Miao exhaled a breath, feeling happy.
A light flashed in Lu Pingsheng's eyes. He pulled a stool and sat next to Wei Miao, saying solemnly:
"Ah Miao, I will send you to study abroad. You are so smart, you will definitely be able to learn more advanced things. Don't worry, I will protect your family after you leave."
Wei Miao saw the eager anticipation in his eyes and took out what he had recorded on his desk.
"If you can help me get these raw materials and equipment, sulfanilamide, as much as you want, I'll give you as much as you want."
Lu Pingsheng was frowning as he looked at the paper in his hand, but when he heard Wei Miao's childish voice, his pupils suddenly widened.
"What did you say?" He said hoarsely after a while.
"Brother Lu, it's a pleasure to work with you." Wei Miao stretched out her little hand, looking at the dazed Lu Pingsheng with clear eyes and a smile.
Lu Pingsheng would never forget how hot and warm the little hand stretched out in front of him was on that cold and gloomy winter.
