"Boss, why are you going back to the mainland? It's so poor there, what's the point of going back? You can only lose money if you do business there."
"That's my home. A wanderer always returns home." An Jingzhi sat in his luxurious office, looking through the glass window at the road with a hint of worry. "Did you remember what I told you?"
"After I leave, you must keep an eye on the brothers below. If anyone dares to mess around, show no mercy."
After explaining everything that needed to be explained, An Jingzhi waved his hand and drove the person out.
This is Hong Kong Island in the 1980s. An Jingzhi came here two years ago. At that time, the original owner was a gangster fighting with others.
He smuggled himself into Hong Kong Island from the mainland more than ten years ago, and after all these years, he is still just a gangster.
The difference is that he has transformed from a small gangster to a big gangster.
Although he lives a life of fighting and killing, his life is much better than that of his relatives in the mainland.
After An Jingzhi's adjustments in the past two years, he got rid of all the gray industries in the hands of the other party.
The people under him who should be dismissed were dismissed, and those who were willing to follow him now have a proper job in the company.
He owns shoe factories, garment factories and electronics factories.
Relying on his unique business acumen, the factory has grown bigger and bigger over the years and the company is thriving.
After arranging his identity and the mainland gradually opening up, An Jingzhi prepared to return to invest as a Hong Kong businessman.
More than ten years ago, when the two sides were not yet open to traffic, the original owner secretly ran to Hong Kong Island. He forced his family to undergo labor reform for several years, and after returning, he was looked down upon by the villagers.
The original owner lived a life of luxury abroad, and ignored his entire family just for the sake of wealth and fame.
In the 1960s and 1970s, entry and exit from overseas were strictly controlled, let alone someone like the original owner who ran away secretly.
As soon as he ran away, his whole family was sent to a farm for reform.
Over the years, because of the existence of the original owner, his family has become the object of everyone's avoidance. Even his nephews and nieces have been influenced by him and no good family is willing to marry them into the family.
A few years ago, in order to earn more work points, the original owner's father broke both legs while digging a ditch. Now he can only be bedridden, making the already poor family even worse off.
It was in recent years that the policy direction changed, and no one cared about small private businesses anymore, and life at home gradually got better.
But the good times did not last long. It seemed that fate only picked on the unfortunate. He used to rely on small businesses to repair the house, and his life seemed to be getting better and better. Having overseas connections was no longer something to be despised or looked down upon.
Something happened at home again.
…
Settled in Shaoyi Commune, Sankang County, Qidong Province.
"Mom, please drink some water." An Yuru walked in cautiously with a glass of water.
A pale woman was lying on the bed, her face full of bitterness.
"It's all Mom's fault. How could a tumor grow in my brain when I was perfectly fine? I spent so much money on medical treatment. The initial surgery would cost thousands. The doctor said it might even cost tens of thousands. We don't have that kind of money. And it's not certain it can be cured, so Mom—"
"Mom! We are a family, what's the point of talking about being a burden or not?" An Yuru was a little excited. God gave her a chance to start over, and she would not let the tragedy happen again.
"Mom, don't worry about the money. I'll find a way. Don't do anything stupid!"
In her previous life, when she learned that her mother was diagnosed with a brain tumor, she was helpless and like a headless fly. In the end, she could only watch her mother suffer from the illness. In order not to burden her family, she jumped into the river and committed suicide.
No matter how much money she made later, her mother's smile before she jumped into the river would always be the deepest pain in her heart.
When she learned she had a chance to start over a few months ago, she worked desperately to make money.
But it didn't work, she had no capital and could only start with a small business.
After the policy was opened up, more and more people started small businesses and there were also many competitors.
She originally wanted to go to the south and buy more fashionable electronic products so that she could make more money.
Unexpectedly, just as she was about to go home to discuss going to the south with her family, she saw her mother fainted in the room.
It was the same in my previous life. My mother fainted several times in a row and was later sent to the hospital by my family, where she was diagnosed with a brain tumor.
She clearly remembered her mother fainting a few months ago.
Later she figured it out. His mother must have fainted because she was afraid that her family would worry about her, and she didn't tell them. If he hadn't returned home early, he would never have discovered that his mother had fainted.
Originally, the family thought her mother had fainted from hunger or exhaustion, and it was only at An Yuru's strong request that they sent her to the hospital for examination.
This examination showed that the brain tumor was in the early stages and could still be treated.
However, the family simply could not afford the surgery.
Their small place cannot afford such an important operation.
She had to go to the capital, and for An Yuru, it would be best if she could go abroad.
Although overseas investment is open, it is not easy for ordinary families to go abroad.
Besides, her family had no connections at all, so An Yuru could only settle for the second best and hope to have brain tumor surgery for her mother in Beijing.
But the most important issue now is raising money.
The family savings are less than 1,000 yuan, but the surgery fee requires 7,000 to 8,000 yuan in advance, and the subsequent medication and hospitalization costs add up gradually. I'm afraid that even 15,000 yuan may not be enough.
The head of the An family, Zhang Weifen, came in with a bowl of brown sugar and egg water.
Seeing the eldest daughter-in-law lying on the bed with a bitter look on her face, Zhang Weifen put the brown sugar and egg water on the table and sighed.
"Youzhen, eat something first."
