357 The end of the world is just around the corner
The head of Brad's office, Zuo Whale, has also been in a bit of trouble recently, a member of Brad named Huang Liang under his command married a Boer widow, the widow's ex-husband was exiled to Ceylon during the war for supporting the Boer coalition army, originally thought that the guy was dead for life, and his wife had already remarried with children, but he didn't expect that his ex-husband's brother suddenly returned to Johannesburg from Ceylon a few months ago, and actually found Nyasaland.
In Nyasaland, Brad is the de facto secret police, with great power and can arrest anyone at will without the permission of the chief justice, so the ex-husband's brother is very clever to find a Boer lawyer and contact Brad to run a company, hoping to get his children back and get some cash compensation.
"It's understandable to want your own children back, but what is the reason for receiving cash compensation? Sell your wife? It's ridiculous! "Left Whale doesn't support this kind of request, is this because he thinks Brad is easy to bully.
"The child can't be given to him, Mia's two daughters are twins, they look very cute, the child was not born when Pittman was exiled, the child has no impression of Pittman at all, the children are very happy with me now, I am willing to give Pittman a hundred pounds, as long as he doesn't pester Mia anymore, but don't even think about it, they call me Dad, I should protect them." Sorghum is still assertive, a hundred pounds is not a small amount, almost a year's income of Sorghum, and it is also a lot of money for ordinary Boers.
In Nyasaland, a hundred pounds may not be enough to buy a family property, but in Orange or the Bechuana Reserve, a hundred pounds can buy a farm of two hundred acres, and with a little diligence, food and clothing are still guaranteed.
"Do you have a lot of money? It's only been a few days since you've eaten enough, how much money have you saved? "Zuo Whale simply hates iron and steel, it is not easy for anyone to make money, why should he give his hard-earned money to others for no reason?
It's just a joke.
"As long as that guy doesn't pester Mia, it's okay to give some money-" Huang Liang thought that the problem was still simple, once this kind of thing was backed, then the guy named Pittman might have to take an inch.
"Are you stupid, if he dares to come to entangle, you will directly notify the police station, or directly shoot him on the spot, and now give him money, let him taste the sweetness, what if he comes to entangle in the future?" Left Whale was determined not to compromise, and with the end of the war, many of the exiles during the war began to return to southern Africa, and if this opening was opened, then there would be more and more such troubles in the future.
Although Roque has always hoped that more Chinese women would immigrate to southern Africa, limited by the objective situation, there are still few Chinese women who come to southern Africa, and most Chinese can only choose Boers or other white women to start a family.
Fortunately, at this point, the Chinese still have a basic aesthetic, one white covers a hundred ugliness, and few people choose to start a family with Africans, which makes Roque quite pleased.
As for whether he is British, Roque has no choice, the status of Britishness in southern Africa is still very high, and basically few Chinese can win the favor of British women, but for other white women, Chinese are almost the best choice.
"Mia said the same thing, that guy used to be lazy, often drank too much and beat Mia, Mia didn't have a good life with him for a few days, the last time that guy went to harass Mia, Mia almost hit him with a shotgun, if it weren't for that guy with a lawyer-" Huang Liang was also depressed, Pitman hired an English lawyer, so he dared to be unscrupulous, otherwise-
"Lawyer, hum, it's good-" Zuo Whale doesn't talk nonsense, the key is why Pittman has the money to afford an English lawyer, this is the crux of the matter.
Huang Liang's home is located in the family home of the police station on the shore of Lake Nyasaland, this family home is a semi-closed community, the security work of the community is responsible for the umbrella company, because of the negligence of the security personnel, Pitman and the lawyer were able to find Huang Liang's home, and now Huang Liang has greeted the community security personnel, if Pitman comes to harass again, the security personnel will directly notify the police station to come and arrest people.
After Huang Liang and Mia formed a family, within two years, Mia gave birth to a son and a daughter to Huang Liang, which means that now Huang Liang's family has a son and three daughters.
Now with this happy little family of course is overshadowed, after Huang Liang returned home, although Mia forced a smile, but the sorrow between the eyebrows still can't be hidden.
"Today, the whitebait of the aquatic company is very cheap, I bought a pound of fresh whitebait and fried it, and also made mushroom soup and potato pancakes, and the children liked it very muchββ" As soon as Huangliang entered the house, Mia sent a fragrant kiss, and the children gathered around to fight for Huangliang's hug, and the two big dogs in the family swung around Huangliang like windmills.
All this is worth maintaining with Huang Liang's life.
"I went to find Director Zuo today, Director Zuo will help, you don't have to worry, that guy shouldn't appear in front of you in the future." Huang Liang knew what Mia was worried about, and when he took off his coat, the gun pocket under his arm was very eye-catching, and as a member of Brad, Huang Liang could carry a firearm with him.
In order to cultivate the martial spirit of the Chinese, Nyasaland does not ban guns, but ordinary people cannot carry guns with them in their daily lives, only police, military personnel, or members of the Brad can carry guns with them, even members of the umbrella company.
Mia is no stranger to guns, the Nyasaland Agricultural Company used to regularly train all women in Nyasaland to use firearms, and Mia herself was even a shooting instructor for the agricultural company, although Mia herself did not have the right to carry a weapon with her.
"That's just great, if he appears in front of me again, I really don't know if I'll shoot him, and you won't give him money, not a penny, this kind of scoundrel should die in prison, God knows why the expeditionary force headquarters didn't shoot him directly in the first place." Mia is also ruthless, if this woman is ruthless, men can't reach it.
Originally, because of the change of leadership, the orders of the expeditionary force command sometimes even contradicted each other, and if the expeditionary force command captured a member of the Boer coalition, as long as the member of the Boer coalition army swore not to oppose the expeditionary force again, he would be released and returned home.
Later, after General Kitchener took office, his attitude towards the defectors changed again, first exile, then direct shooting, and then exile, Pittman was considered a good fate, and many members of the Boer coalition like Pittman, even if they were exiled overseas, had no chance to return to southern Africa.
"Dad, I don't want to go to school anymore, there's a guy named Mickey in school who is very annoying, and he always wants to exchange bear cookies for my panda cookies-" The twin eldest daughter Barbie stepped on the belly of the male dog Quincy and coquettishly coquetted Huang Liang in Chinese, Quincy looked up at Barbie with a sad face, and found that Barbie was not restrained at all, so she sighed and lay down to make Barbie step on it more comfortably.
The twin daughters are now of school age, the primary school in Nyasaland prepares a hearty lunch for the children, baking cookies is essential, panda biscuits are a specialty of Nyasaland, some time ago, the Little Rock Zoo has more than a dozen pandas, which makes all the children in Little Rock go crazy, and the school has launched a lot of panda-related food, which is very popular with children.
Of course, in essence, there is no essential difference between the bear-shaped biscuits and the panda-shaped biscuits, the size and taste are the same, so the nasty guy named Mickey is most likely using this as an excuse to contact Barbie.
This is also normal, who made Barbie look so cute, really just like Barbie.
"Next time, if he still dares to do this, then you warn him, tell him that you have a very powerful father, and if he still dares to bully you, then I will go back to find trouble with him!" Of course, Huang Liang didn't care about this kind of thing, made a grimace at Mia, and then supported the eldest girl with confidence.
"Dad, I'm going to see a panda on the weekend!" Rowling, the youngest daughter of the twins, took the opportunity to make a request.
"I'm going too!" The youngest daughter, Britney, was also heckling.
"Okay, let's go see the pandas together as a family on the weekend." This requirement will definitely be satisfied.
While the Huangliang family was happily interacting, Pitman and his lawyer, Brian Hemingway, came to the police station family home again.
"I said, can we succeed in getting the money?" The longer they stay in Little Rock, the more worried Pittman becomes, and just now, the manager of the inn where Pittman and Brian Hemingway live informed them that they should move out of the hotel before sunset, so Pittman is now worried.
"Don't worry, our request is legitimate, now you are the victim, that yellow man named Huang Liang has robbed you of everything, you also see, your wife now lives in a big house, wearing the latest women's trench coat that Itno quit, you probably don't know how much that trench coat is worth, right? I'll tell you, at least fifteen pounds, so a hundred pounds is really not much, it's just twenty trench coats. "Brian Hemingway fanned the flames, Nyasaland's Itno often has special prices, a trench coat that costs fifteen pounds in European specialty stores, and when it is on sale, it may only be seven pounds, or even five pounds, so Itno is really not a luxury in Nyasaland, even if it is a commoner in Nyasaland, as long as you grit your teeth, you can still afford it.
Of course, this is enough to prove how much Huang Liang loves his wife.
It's a pity that the unkempt and shabby-dressed Pitman didn't realize this, thinking of the current Mia, Pitman had another layer of thought: "If I can, I still want to return to Orange with Mia-"
Brian Hemingway didn't answer, and looked at Pitman with disdain.
"I'm sorry, you can't go in." At the entrance to the community, heavily armed security guards stopped Pittman and Brian Hemingway.
In fact, the distance is already very close, standing in Pittman's position, you can already see the apple tree in front of Mia's house, but unfortunately this is the moat.
