I traveled through time without patched pants, I was the richest man in the Republic of China
Chapter 81: Busy supporting the family in the foreign land
In the study of Lu Pingsheng's house.
Doctor Ding took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes before speaking tiredly:
"White Rose called and said that the goods arrived at the port last night and were detained by the General Administration of Customs for no reason. Someone told her this morning that someone wanted to buy all our sulfa drugs at twice the price we pay."
Wei Miao stood beside the desk, his narrow eyes were round, and he pretended to be surprised:
"So they're buying it out for one million, even though we're worth five hundred thousand?"
Dr. Ding and Lu Pingsheng didn't think the joke was funny at all.
"They're paying half the price for something that can be sold ten or twenty times the price. What's the difference between that and robbery?" Lu Pingsheng sneered.
Dr. Ding was in a bad mood at the moment. What Wei Miao had worried about had indeed happened, and it was premeditated.
"We now need to find out who detained the ship and how those people knew about the cargo."
Wei Miao thought about how much money he had and suggested:
"I'll go to Charles Trading Company, Brother Lu will go back to the Japanese Customs General Administration, and Brother Wu will have to go to the French Concession to inquire..."
Lu Pingsheng sneered, "No, I know where the problem lies."
Doctor Ding seemed to have a sudden epiphany. "It can't be Patrolman Xiao Wu."
Wei Miao watched the two people playing charades and suddenly remembered what Wu Ziyang said in his yard a few days ago.
The money was just divided last time. Twenty or so large yellow croakers could sustain them for a year or two even if they lived a life of luxury in Shanghai.
But Wu Ziyang said that he only had 20 French francs and he had to wait for his salary for the rest. Where did the money go? Apart from Li Xiaoya, she couldn't think of any other place for Wu Ziyang to spend money.
Sure enough, I heard Lupin say coldly:
"Li Xiaoya."
Now it was Dr. Ding's turn to be surprised, "The female teacher in Ah Miao's family?"
Lu Pingsheng was thinking about Dr. Ding's identity, and suddenly an idea came to his mind:
"Well, this woman is not simple. When A Miao and I went to do the translation, she was wearing Japanese clothes and following the Japanese."
Although Dr. Ding's expression did not change, his eyes flickered.
There is nothing shameful about earning extra money by working as a translator, but if you wear Japanese clothes, it means something else.
"You mean, this was done by the Japanese?" Doctor Ding suppressed his thoughts and asked the question in his mind.
"Should we let Brother Wu know about this?" Wei Miao asked.
Lu Pingsheng's face showed no emotion. "Doctor Ding, go inform Bai Meigui. I'll go find Wu Ziyang."
Now is not the time to act on impulse. The most important thing is to save this batch of sulfonamides.
He had thought it all out. After the things arrived, he would use all his money to stockpile as much as possible in preparation for war.
After Dr. Ding hurried out, Wei Miao and Lu Pingsheng looked at each other.
"Ah Miao, take Ah Ling and the others out to play, and don't get involved in the rest of the matter."
Wei Miao nodded in agreement without asking why.
As a child of a rickshaw driver, she could not play any role in the struggle between these forces behind the scenes.
If you insist on getting involved, I'm afraid it will only cause more trouble.
If this batch of goods was really taken over by someone in this way, she has her own way. This sulfonamide was her cause and effect from beginning to end, so no matter what she did, it would not be excessive.
Lu Pingsheng looked at Wei Miao's heartless appearance and laughed out loud in anger:
"If our talks go smoothly, I will go to Charles's Company this afternoon to get the things he promised to give you. This old foreign devil must be very anxious, after all, he hasn't delivered the goods to us yet."
Wei Miao nodded and said without any politeness:
"I asked for a lot of books and documents, as well as some special experimental equipment. Remember to bring them back for me."
Lu Pingsheng nodded.
I secretly sighed in my heart that the little girl was very smart and clever. It turned out that from the very beginning, she had figured out how to become capital.
If this were in his world, this brat Wei Miao would definitely be the Long Aotian in the romance novel?
Wei Miao returned home and saw a group of dejected little kids being scolded by Xu Ayu.
"All I do is play all day long. Playing in school is not enough, and playing at home is not enough either. I also want to go out..."
"If you were half as sensible as your elder brother, I would believe in foreign gods and gods like Grandma Cui and pray before meals every day!"
Wei Ling curled her lips and retorted:
"Mom, you said yesterday that going to school was painful and the teacher's lectures were like monks chanting sutras, and you just wanted to fall asleep. How come we have such a good time now?"
Xu Ayu's face froze and he glared at Wei Ada.
I feel that since this person recovered from his illness, he has developed a nagging habit and wants to tell his children everything.
Wei Ada, who was caught in the crossfire for no reason, touched his nose and said to Xu Ayu:
"It's a rare day off today. Didn't you say you wanted to go visit your elder brother and his wife?"
Xu Ayu was thinking about what his elder brother said, that his sister-in-law was having a miscarriage, and he was in no mood to spit at those kids who were dejected because they didn't go out.
In the final analysis, it is because their parents are incompetent. Compared with the kids in the alley, their own child is already the best.
When they had no money to go to school, Wei Ling and Wei Ran went to the railway to pick up coal slag before dawn.
Wei Litian made matchboxes at home every day, and even Pingmei, who couldn't speak clearly, helped her look after Weidong.
He went out today in high spirits, but came back dejected in less than half an hour.
After hearing that they couldn’t go out to play, the kids didn’t make a fuss, but just looked sad with sad faces. . .
Wei Ping was holding a cloth bag hanging sideways, crying:
"Going to hang out with Cauldron."
Wei Miao walked in and saw her pouting lips and red eyes. He felt soft-hearted for a moment and pulled her pigtails to tease her:
"I just like the cauldron so much."
Wei Ping looked up at her big pot and tears rolled down her eyes.
"Big pot, play, I'm going to bring back some cake for my parents!" After saying that, she opened the embroidered schoolbag that Xu Ayu made for her and showed it to Wei Miao.
Wei Miao looked at her empty schoolbag and laughed at her:
"Your little schoolbag can't hold a cake."
Wei Ping rolled her eyes and said cunningly:
"Then I'll eat until I can fit it in."
Wei Ran and the others quickly surrounded Wei Miao. They didn't dare to say much because of Xu Ayu's scolding, but their eyes were full of anticipation.
"Go wash your face and get ready. We'll set off as planned."
The little ones cheered again, scaring Laba who was hiding in the corner.
Weidong finally realized that he was the one who was left behind.
He stretched out his little paws and asked Wei Miao to hold him.
However, she was ruthlessly suppressed by Xu Ayu, and her crying became a little quieter under the crazy woman's lion roar.
As soon as Wei Miao left with a group of little kids, Lu Pingsheng knocked on Wu Ziyang's door with one hand in his pocket.
When he opened the door and saw Li Xiaoya in her pajamas, his expression remained unchanged and he said politely:
"Miss Li, aren't you going to class today?"
Wu Ziyang saw that Lupin's attitude was normal and he was in a very good mood. He said:
"Xiaoya won't teach anymore, we plan to get married."
Lu Pingsheng was slightly surprised, ignoring the marks on Wu Ziyang's neck, and then smiled sincerely:
"Congratulations on your marriage, Miss Li. I was sorry for seeing my brother being decadent and treating you badly. I apologize to my sister-in-law here."
