I carry a space ring: Travel back to 1939

Chapter 163 Jin Dajian

Wake up the next day.

Xiangzi got up a little late because he had a slight back pain.

When he opened his eyes, he saw a lot of delicious breakfast on the small table beside his bed.

Xiangzi had never eaten these breakfasts before. It seemed that he had heard Jin Wugou tell him before that these were traditional foods of the Manchu people, and they were only prepared and eaten during festivals.

Just as Xiangzi was about to reach out and pick up the breakfast on the small table to eat, he heard a cough beside him.

He saw a tall old man sitting on the tattered armchair next to him.

This person was none other than his future father-in-law, Jin Dajian.

Even though Jin Dajian is now in a state of poverty and has no food to eat, he still has great authority as an official.

When Xiangzi saw Jin Dajian sitting there with a dignified manner, he felt a little uneasy and quickly put on his clothes and jumped out of bed.

After getting dressed and getting out of bed, Xiangzi walked up to Jin Dajiang, bowed to him, and spoke with a smile.

"Morning, Mr. Jin!"

Jin Dajian said angrily: "If I hadn't gotten up earlier, I'm afraid you would have kidnapped my daughter. I don't even know who did this!"

After hearing what Jin Dajian said, Xiangzi was so embarrassed that he couldn't even raise his head.

Jin Dajian saw that he had grasped Xiangzi's hand at once, and he was secretly happy:

This stupid boy.

I have to control it now, otherwise he will act like a nobody in front of me and I won't be able to control him. After all, this is the Republic of China!

He was still a minor official in front of the Japanese, and he could not use his title as an official appointed by the imperial court to suppress him.

At this time, Princess Jin came in with a plate of fried liver and saw her father holding a stand there.

Xiangzi stood in front of him with his head down, not daring to speak.

Princess Jin placed the plate in her hand heavily on the table.

She didn't spoil her old man.

"What's the matter, Master Jin? Who are you trying to scare so early in the morning?"

Jin Dajian is not afraid of anyone except his old daughter.

Now seeing his daughter's face pockmarked, he immediately said with a smile.

"Don't be angry, girl. I have raised my baby for decades, but this kid easily took advantage of him. I feel very uncomfortable. What's wrong with teaching him a lesson?"

Princess Jin rolled her eyes and said, "What's wrong, Mr. Jin? You still want to support me forever. You finally got Xiangzi to be with me, and now you want him to leave me?

I tell you, if you don’t let me do what I want this time, I will never talk to you again!"

When Jin Dajian saw his daughter getting angry, he immediately became panicked.

You have to know that since the end of the Qing Dynasty, he has been dependent on his daughter, and his former relatives and friends all hide when they see him.

None of his former drinking buddies spoke to him anymore, for fear that he would borrow money from them.

I rely entirely on renting out this yard and doing some handicrafts with my daughter to support my family.

He shouldn't have been so poor. It's all his fault. He can't give up the bad habit of growing flowers.

He raised only famous breeds, which cost him a lot of money.

Originally, Princess Jin asked him to sell the flowers, but General Jin refused.

If you want to sell his flowers, you might as well kill him. He is such a freak. What's so good about growing these flowers? Besides, if he wants to grow flowers, he can grow cheaper ones.

But Jin Dajian argued that there was no difference between growing cheap flowers and growing grass by the roadside.

Jin Dajian was simple in his eating and drinking, but he still took care of the flowers that he treated as treasures.

Princess Jin Wugou had no choice but to obey her father and embroider more works to sell in order to barely support their family.

In fact, Jin Da Gege stayed at Xiangzi's place last night and did not go home. Jin Dajian knew about it.

He also knew that Xiangzi had feelings for his daughter.

But he had absolutely disagreed before, because Xiangzi was just a rickshaw driver. How could he support their family, not to mention that it would cost a lot of money to have children in the future.

But in the past six months, he saw Xiangzi driving a very expensive car, which he would occasionally park on the street outside his compound.

Jin Dajian heard from others that Xiangzi was driving a car with a rich man, and heard that the man bought the car for several thousand dollars.

Later, he found out that Xiangzi was driving for an officer in the detective team, and was said to earn dozens of dollars a month.

Jin Dajian didn't care about the income of dozens of dollars.

But it is still much higher than the status of pulling a rickshaw.

Recently I heard that he was promoted in the detective team, but he doesn't know how high his position is.

On the contrary, Princess Jin didn't know that Xiangzi had been promoted. She just cared about Xiangzi's daily life.

So last night Jin Da Gege stayed at Xiangzi's house and did not come out, and Jin Dajian did not make any trouble. He overheard Xiangzi saying something about 100,000 oceans in the corner.

Jin Dajian didn't understand clearly what the 10 oceans meant, but he was still moved in his mind. If Xiangzi really had oceans, then this son-in-law was not bad.

He didn't care where the 10 yuan came from, since they were all working for the Japanese. Even if the money came from an unknown source, he wasn't afraid.

Besides, in this world, is it true that the money of a truly wealthy person is so clean?

The ancients said that a horse cannot grow fat without night grass, and a man cannot become rich without unexpected wealth.

Jin Dajian has lived a whole life and now he finally understands.

No matter how upright you are or how good a person you are, if you don't have money, no one will care about you.

Sister Jin acted like a hostess, picking up the dishes and chopsticks and placing them in front of the table.

"Xiangzi, stop standing there and eat. After eating, don't you still have to go to work? Don't pay attention to this old man. He has nothing to do all day!"

Old man Jin Dajian doesn't care what his daughter says about him.

He picked up the chopsticks and started eating his favorite fried liver. He hadn't eaten it for a long time.

After breakfast, Xiangzi had nothing to say. He had always been a little intimidated by Jin Dajian.

After all, Jin Dajian was a sixth-rank official during the Qing Dynasty.

I am just an ordinary peasant.

In order to test whether Xiangzi had money, Jin Dajian deliberately said this to his daughter.

"Wuqiu, I saw a very good bonsai in the flower market yesterday. I wanted to buy it and put it in the yard, but this bonsai is very expensive. Unfortunately, I don't have any money in my bag!"

Of course Princess Jin knew her father's temper. He was just asking for money from her in disguise. Didn't he think she didn't know?

She said anxiously, "You don't have any money in your pocket, but I do. Don't think about those improper things. You should just stay at home and spend your money!"

Xiangzi was not really stupid. After listening to Jin Dajian's words, he understood what he meant and quickly said in a flattering manner:

"Mr. Jin, how much is the flower you like?"

Jin Dajian said unhappily, "It's not much, 3000 yuan a basin?"

Xiangzi was shocked when he heard this: "What the hell? A pot of flowers costs 3000 yuan. Did I hear it right, Mr. Jin?"
