With the bigwigs in charge, they personally received Maotou. It didn't take a week; everything was settled in a single day. The next day, Maotou exchanged a three million yuan check for a contract stamped with the company seal. As for the payment invoice, it would have to wait until the check was cashed before the investment promotion office could issue it.
Mao Tou opened the contract and looked at it carefully. Contractor: Yan Xiaonan; Contract Term: Thirty years; Annual Rent: 100,000 yuan; Payment Method: Lump sum; Payment Amount: 3 million yuan; Contract Terms...
Mao carefully put the contract into his briefcase. He had originally planned to give the contract to Yan Xiaonan, but Village Chief Ma told them that the Yan family, except for Tang Xiaoling and their two children, had all gone to Beijing because their daughter had been admitted to a university there.
Maotou was genuinely happy for Beinan. Beinan told him that after he caused trouble for his family, it was Yan Xiaonan who ultimately resolved the situation, which led to Yan Xiaonan being in a coma for a long time. As a result, Beinan was ashamed to face his family and left.
Now that Nan Nan has been admitted to university, and even the prestigious Beijing University, it proves that the little girl is alright. Not only is she alright, she should be doing well. Beijing is a city, and people without a household registration can't even buy food. They can only buy it secretly on the black market.
Unlike the countryside, where firewood is used for cooking and well water is available, in the capital, coal, water, and electricity all cost money. Therefore, their food, drink, and daily necessities all require a certain amount of funds. The fact that Grandma Yan and Bei Nan's parents went with them without hesitation proves that they had money in their pockets.
Thinking of this, Maotou took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. As long as Bei Nan's parents and family were alright, the pressure that had been weighing on Bei Nan's heart for so many years should be relieved. The matter entrusted to him by Bei Nan was completed, and now it was his turn to take care of things. They had received definite news that Maotou's cousin had returned home.
Without wasting any time, the two ran straight to Maotou's hometown. The closer they got to his hometown, the slower Maotou's steps became, and he even stopped. Even though he was anxious, he couldn't take another step. At this moment, he truly understood Bei Nan's feelings. He was afraid of his hometown. He had never been afraid of swords and shadows, but he was afraid of seeing his relatives. He couldn't understand it.
Tie Ge didn't have so many inner thoughts. He was extremely excited and thrilled. He could finally meet his brother who had gone through thick and thin with him again. He ran faster and faster, completely forgetting about Mao Tou, until he pushed open a door and saw a thin figure inside. Only then did he realize how many years it had been since he had been this eager.
"Ah Long, Ah Long, is that you?" Tie Ge asked cautiously to the figure behind him.
The thin figure suddenly turned around, stared at him for a long, long time before asking, "Are you Atie?"
Tiege rushed over and hugged Along tightly: "It's me, it's me, I've finally found you."
Ah Long nodded repeatedly: "We meet again. How are you doing these days? Do you have a place to stay? If not, stay here with me. By the way, have you seen my brother?"
Tie Ge exclaimed in surprise, "This isn't...wait, where is he?"
Ah Long looked towards the door and saw a figure that vaguely resembled Mao Tou, but was stronger and taller. Ah Long was a little hesitant to recognize him. Mao Tou finally saw his cousin and suddenly ran over like a madman: "Brother! Brother!"
The two brothers hugged each other tightly. Ah Long stroked Mao Tou's hair and looked at Tie Ge gratefully, saying, "Ah Tie, thank you for protecting my younger brother."
Tie Ge laughed and said, "Thank you. Do we need that word between brothers?"
Maotou finally calmed down. He looked around the house and couldn't help but shed tears. His once wealthy and powerful cousin had fallen on hard times. The doors were cracked, the windows were crooked, the furniture was broken, the bedding on the bed was patched on top of patch, and the clothes he was wearing were worn for who knows how many years, the colors were all faded.
“Little brother, don’t cry. Your brother is useless. I found out you went to Hong Kong Island, so I wanted to go find you. I didn’t expect to lose my life savings instead of finding you. Fortunately, I’m doing odd jobs now, so we can eat. But we can’t go to state-run restaurants anymore because your brother doesn’t have enough money.”
Upon hearing this, Maotou felt even more heartbroken. At this critical moment, his cousin was still thinking about supporting him. Maotou, who would rather bleed than shed a tear, had tears streaming down his face like a broken string of pearls, which he couldn't stop wiping away.
Tie Ge glanced around and said, "I'll go get some food. We're going to drink until we drop tonight."
"Thanks, brother." Ah Long nodded. Ah Tie really meant it, he really meant it, and he also meant it, he left space for the two brothers to talk.
Maotou finally stopped crying a little and started telling his cousin about their escape journey. When Along heard Beinan's name, he laughed. A'Tie was loyal and experienced in battle, but not quick-witted.
Mao Tou is a spoiled child who has not experienced any major setbacks. Apart from being fierce, he lacks everything else.
Bei Nan is clever and resourceful, and he is chivalrous and loyal to his own people. Moreover, in terms of fighting skills, he is no less than A Tie. In addition, he is about the same age as Mao Tou, and the two of them can definitely develop into brothers who share weal and woe like him and A Tie.
She had anticipated that Atie would run away with Maotou, and she had hoped that if Beinan were there, their escape would be more secure. However, Beinan's family was well-off, and there was no need for them to run away with Maotou.
Unexpectedly, Bei Nan was also implicated, and even the most precious girl in Bei Nan's family was almost ruined, causing Bei Nan to run away out of guilt and embark on another magical path in life.
Perhaps it was fate, but the boy he had watched grow up had become a local tyrant. Ah Long smiled with satisfaction.
“Brother, we’ve set up a big restaurant in Huacheng, modeled after those in Hong Kong. It’s a legitimate business. Why don’t you go there? We’ve already agreed that once we find you, I’ll transfer my shares to you, and you can establish yourself there. Then we can see if there’s a chance to immigrate, and you can come to Vancouver with me.”
Seeing Mao Tou's excited expression, Ah Long's eyes welled up with tears. Only the two brothers were left in the family. He had vowed to make a name for himself back then, so he opened a black market, but in the end, he was defeated and his son Mao Tou was forced to run around everywhere.
As the old saying goes, misfortune may be a blessing in disguise, and a blessing may be a misfortune in disguise. In life, one must naturally experience all the joys and sorrows.
"Young man, I'll listen to you, but where's Bei Nan? Why didn't she come with you?"
Mao Tou looked at his cousin, his mouth opening and closing, but he couldn't express his feelings.
Ah Long immediately understood: "You can't get over this hurdle in your heart, right? It's okay. You said his whole family went to Beijing. Where in Beijing? Let's go to Beijing before we go to Huacheng to let their family know they're safe."
