"Why?"

Tang Xiaobao couldn't help asking.

How could a deputy county magistrate suddenly immigrate?

"Because he was corrupt, and he embezzled a lot of money, he was afraid of being exposed, so he brought us to Country M and hid his identity."

"ah?"

Tang Xiaobao was stunned.

This story...

It really surprised him.

Long Mei said self-deprecatingly, "Do you look down on me?"

"Why should I look down on you?"

"Because my father is a fugitive."

Tang Xiaobao smiled bitterly and said, "What does that have to do with you? He is him, and you are you. By the way, how are you doing after you came here? Where are your parents? Why did they let you open a shop here alone?"

Long Mei poured the wine, took a sip, and then said, "They are all gone. They died in a car accident, leaving me alone to live."

Tang Xiaobao didn't know what to say for a moment.

Is this retribution?

But it doesn't seem fair to Long Mei.

She is innocent.

Now he is an orphan.

Long Mei continued, "I have been unhappy these years. After graduating from high school, I have been working outside. After my parents passed away, I donated all the money in the family back to China. I have sponsored many orphans in the mountains. I want to atone for my father's sins in this way, but it is obviously useless. In the past two years, business has become more and more difficult, and the security in the area has become worse and worse. I am often robbed. I don't want to do it anymore. However, I can't do anything else except opening a store. I want to go back to China and dream of going back. Even if I go back to beg, it is on my own land. People in China think that they are superior if they have a green card from the United States. In fact, here, we Chinese are discriminated against and excluded by the locals. What's more, I don't have a green card now. In other words, I am now an out-and-out illegal immigrant."
