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

Chapter 272: Busy supporting the family in the foreign land

Wei Miao was pulled home by Xiao Qian, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw a person standing in the yard.

"Ah Miao."

Hu Na wore a velvet dress inside and a light gray sheepskin coat outside. She had delicate makeup and her curly hair was carefully groomed, which made her look quite familiar.

"Sister Hu Na, why are you here?"

Wei Miao walked forward with a smile and invited her into the yard.

When Xu Ayu and Wu Ma came out of the kitchen, they found that there were strangers in the yard.

"Oh, there are guests at home. We were busy in the kitchen and didn't hear them."

Xiao Qian hurried over to help Xu Ayu, and said angrily: "Aunt Ayu, although Doctor Xue said you can get out of bed, he still asked you to stay out of the wind."

Xu Ayu saw Wei Miao bringing the guests into the main hall and stopped paying attention. Instead, he said to Xiao Qian:

"You've come just in time. I've prepared your young master's meal and Master Zhishang's meal. Please bring them over together."

Xiao Qian held Xu Ayu's arm, twisting it like a twist, and said gratefully:

"Aunt Yu, thank you for your hard work!"

Xu Ayu's plump face was filled with a satisfied smile, "I didn't do any heavy work, it was all done by Aunt Wu, and I just talked."

Xiao Qian didn't dare to hug Wu Ma, but smiled at her flatteringly, "Wu Ma, thank you."

Aunt Wu handed the lunch box to Xiao Qian, and then held the tray and motioned her to walk in front.

"Hey!" Xiao Qian agreed happily and walked in front with his head held high.

Thinking that the two picky eaters at home would be able to have a good meal today, she couldn't help but grin.

When she walked, her two pigtails swung back and forth, looking very happy.

It was Hu Na's first time to come to Wei Miao's house. She glanced around the living room and her eyes fell on the phone next to her with a slight flash.

She put down the high-end gift box in her hand and said to Wei Miao with emotion:

“I never thought we lived so close to each other.”

Wei Miao poured water for Hu Na to make tea, blinked at her and said:

"Sister Hu Na, it's cold outside, drink a sip to warm yourself up."

Hu Na took the tea from the cup and teased Wei Miao with a smile, "In the past, I often heard Sister Lan say that you are smart and sensible. I know you are smart, but today I finally see that you are sensible."

Wei Miao saw that she was calm but with a hint of embarrassment in her eyes, and sighed in his heart.

"Sister Hu Na, are you here for the store across from the police station?"

Hu Na tightened her grip on the quilt and said with a wry smile, "Now I see that Ah Miao is smart again."

She met Wei Miao's clear eyes, paused for just a few seconds, and then continued:

"Zhang Er is my husband now, and I am his wife. I want to be the boss's wife, and he opened a shop for me. But I didn't expect that even though he is no longer involved in the Green Gang, his methods are still as bad as before."

Being a boss lady has become Hu Na's obsession, or dream.

She has always wanted to be her own boss.

At first, I thought that if I set up a stall with Yang Qiushi to sell wontons and sesame cakes, I would make the decision on my own.

Later, after gaining some experience in a coffee shop, I wanted to open a bakery. I felt that being the owner of a bakery was both classy and profitable.

Later, she met Zhang Er, who said that as long as she followed her, she would have whatever she wanted.

She had lost a lot to get this, so she couldn't bear to lose it again.

Thinking of this, Hu Na opened her handbag and took out six large yellow croakers one after another.

He separated five of them and took a deep breath.

"Ah Miao, these are the rent owed for the previous three months, and the remaining one is compensation for injuring someone."

The store was opposite the police station, with the best location and area. When it was owned by the Zeng family, the monthly rent was five hundred dollars. (Note 1)

Five large yellow croakers cost more than a hundred yuan.

“Is the coffee shop still going to be open?”

Wei Miao didn't look at the gold on the table, but was very curious.

Zhang Er's identity as a Special High Technology Agency agent has been exposed. How could the French Concession allow them to continue operating?

Hu Na forced a smile and said helplessly:

"Well, I've put so much effort into this place, I don't want to let it go."

She never gets what she asks for.

Wei Miao saw her lowering her eyes and smiling bitterly, not wanting to say more, so he simply didn't ask.

It's just those things anyway. She also covets the smell of fireworks and gold. Why can't Sister Hu Na have the things she covets?

"Sister Hu Na, I will accept the gold." Wei Miao said happily.

Hu Na suddenly opened her eyes wide and looked at Wei Miao with joy and gratitude in her eyes.

"Ah Miao, thank you."

Wei Miao shook the gold bar in his hand and said with a chuckle, "I'll take this first. Regarding the new rent, someone will come to you to sign a new contract."

Hu Na nodded and murmured, "It should be."

Zhang Er told her that the shop belonged to Lu Pingsheng, and that Lu Pingsheng had a grudge against him and that he absolutely could not rent it to her anymore.

But she didn't want to give up.

Sister Lan said that Lu Pingsheng thought highly of A Miao, and she just said that she was just giving it a try.

If A Miao can agree, it won't be a big problem.

But her relationship with Wei Miao was not very close, especially after she got together with Zhang Er, she tended to distance herself from Wei Miao intentionally or unintentionally.

After all, when she was just a waitress in a coffee shop, she said many childish words to Wei Miao, who always came to buy discounted bread.

Those words from her youth and ignorance were her purest dreams.

Hu Na resolved the important matter in her mind and was no longer tense. She smiled and said:

"Ah Miao, after we sign the lease, my cafe will open in mid-December, so you must come over."

Wei Miao nodded in agreement.

"A Miao, why don't you persuade me to leave Zhang Er?" Hu Na asked.

After all, Wei Miao already knew that Zhang Er's real identity was Er Gouzi. He was different from Lu Pingsheng, he was a real dog, a mad dog that bit his compatriots to death.

Wei Miao widened her eyes, very surprised why Hu Na asked her such a question.

How would she know anything about love affairs?

Hu Na looked into her eyes and knew what she was thinking. She raised her hand and rubbed her head, smiling:

"Ah Miao, I can't say how Zhang Er treats other people, but he treats me well and allows me to have whatever I want. That's enough."

Wei Miao nodded. This was quite good and clear.

Hu Na burst out laughing, withdrew her hand, stood up and said goodbye.

Wei Miao sent her out and happened to meet Xu Ayu who had just walked in.

"Ah Miao, who is this?"

Wei Miao held Xu Ayu's arm and smelled the milky fragrance on her body, "A Miao, she is Sister Hu Na."

Xu Ayu smiled sincerely, "This is Miss Hu. Oh, I've asked you to come to my house many times, but I never had the chance."

Xu Ayu knew Hu Na. After all, Sister Lan's work was so smooth thanks to her.

Hu Na was held in Xu Ayu's warm hand, and feeling her sincerity, a smile appeared on her face.

"Aunt, I heard that A-Miao's younger brother will have a full-month celebration in a couple of days, and I want to have a drink too."

Xu Ayu nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay."

Wei Miao watched Hu Na disappear at the entrance of the alley with brisk footsteps. Just as he was about to turn around and go home, he saw Wei A Da holding Wei Dong in one hand and carrying something in the other.

The little kid looked like a mud monkey, with mud on his head and clothes.

Wei Ada, who was always honest and simple, had a face as gloomy as the bottom of a pot, and the little kid was so scared that he could only gasp.

"Dad, did you beat him?" Wei Miao asked.

Before Wei Ada could say anything, Wei Dong fluttered his short legs, "Big Pot, save me!"

If it were in the past, Wei Ada would have been willing to let go and let the kid go and complain.

But today he growled at Wei Dong, "Shut up! If you yell again, you won't be allowed to eat dinner!"

Weidong could only shed tears silently, his tears turning his mud-covered face into a clown face.

Wei Miao watched Wei Ada storm into the yard, and made a helpless expression to Wei Dong who turned his head and looked at her pitifully.

It is very scary when an honest person gets angry. Her crisis warning can remind her not to get into trouble.
