Cousin Salted Fish Dressed as a Heroine

Chapter 23
Huang Qi took it gratefully, "Thank you, I will consider it."

He is not a young master who is ignorant of the world, and he does not have such a strong self-esteem. The sufferings in his life made him understand that it is a lucky thing to receive help from others.

Huang Qi put away the most precious note, and thanked Zhang Jiao again with Huang Ying.

Zhang Jiao smiled, "You're welcome, the beef noodles you make are delicious, I think it's worth the help."

But more importantly, in doing so, her conscience will not ache.What's more, she was only helping them within her own ability, and she didn't even lose any benefits.

Zhang Jiao didn't stay any longer, and didn't respond to the refusal of the siblings, and insisted on paying some money before leaving with Brother Peng.

Having been tortured by the magic sound today, Zhang Jiao is very tired now, and just wants to go back and have a good sleep.

After she left, the Huang family siblings encouraged each other and began to clean up the messy tables, chairs and benches.

I was busy, and a few people walked in.

Huang Qi took a closer look and saw that they were the guests who had just run away. He was a little confused as to what they were doing back now.

The regular customer shoved the noodle money into Huang Qi's hands in embarrassment, "I'm really sorry, I'm cowardly and unjust, and when they came to make trouble, I didn't dare to stay and help you."

In fact, they hid not far from the noodle shop without running far, and came back together when the gangsters left.

Seeing that he spoke first, the other guests apologized and paid more.

Huang Qi's face covered with dark clouds showed a gleam of brilliance, "It's okay, I don't blame you."

At most, he was sorry for the face money he didn't receive before, and he didn't blame these customers who met by chance at all.

It had nothing to do with them in the first place, they were just trying to protect themselves, there was nothing wrong with it.

The guests smiled guiltyly and helped them arrange the tables and chairs before leaving in peace.

Looking at the tidy noodle shop again, Huang Qi and his brother felt a sense of warmth in their hearts.

Most of the people in this world are ordinary people. They may not be so outstanding, and even have many shortcomings, but there are always some shining points in them.

In the evening, Huang Ying went to the hospital to deliver meals to her father.

Before entering the ward, he bumped into a well-dressed middle-aged man coming out of his father's ward.

She thought it was the family members of her father's sick friend, so she nodded friendly.

Qi Bo was stunned and nodded in response.He didn't pay much attention and left.

Huang Ying walked in with a lunch box.

Dad was sitting there leaning on the pillow, with his head lowered and touching his missing arm in concentration, sighing from time to time.

"Dad, what's wrong with you?" Huang Ying put the lunch box on the small cabinet next to the bed, and asked worriedly while opening the lid to serve Dad soup.

Huang Ming forced a smile, "It's nothing, just thinking about when I will be discharged from the hospital."

Huang Ying said nothing and handed him the soup bowl.She knew that her father was not telling the truth, but she did not ask further questions for fear of embarrassing her father.

She quickly changed the topic, and happened to accidentally kick something on her foot. She looked down.

"Dad, why are there so many things under your bed?"

Three or four boxes lay quietly under the bed, Huang Ying randomly pulled out two and found that they were all high-end gift boxes.

Huang Ming paused the hand holding the soup spoon, and then put the soup into his mouth naturally, "Oh, it was from my father's friend. He came to the hospital for something, so I just met him. Come and see me."

"Ah? Dad's friend? Do I recognize him?" Huang Ying was really surprised.

Huang Mingyang smiled sincerely, "Speaking of which, you really met him, but you were still young at that time, so you probably don't remember him anymore."

"That's good too. Dad can have more talking friends in the future."

Huang Ying was very happy. She didn't care whether she had seen him or not. Her father had always been alone in these years, and she and her brother felt a little sad to see him.

Huang Ming ate his soup on his own, without answering her words.His mind turned to what Qi Tianfu had said to him.

Two hours ago, Qi Tianfu found the hospital.

After asking the nurse for Huang Ming's ward number, he went straight to Huang Ming's ward.

The door of the ward was open, and the patients in the other two beds were accompanied by their family members, only Huang Ming was lying there alone.

Qi Tianfu's heart was sour, how high-spirited Huang Ming was back then...

He paused for a long time until he was discovered.

"Who are you? What are you doing standing at the door of our ward?" A family member of a patient blocked the door vigilantly, obviously worried about this stranger.

"Oh, I'm looking for someone, Huang Ming." He pointed to Huang Ming's bed.

The patient's family members looked at him suspiciously and left the door open. "Then you come in."

Huang Ming saw Qi Tianfu.

"Long time no see, you're old and fat." Huang Ming teased in a natural tone, like an old friend whom he often sees.

He pointed to the square chair beside the hospital bed, "Come and sit."

Qi Tianfu sat over and threw the gift box on the ground, "Long time no see, you are getting old, but you are still so thin."

Even thinner than before.

Huang Ming smiled, "I'm sick, why don't I lose weight. I'll gain weight when I recover."

"What's wrong with you?"

"Stomach cancer." Huang Ming said calmly.

Qi Tianfu was dumbfounded. He did not expect that both husband and wife would suffer because of cancer.

"Can it be cured?" He still had a glimmer of hope.

Huang Ming shook his head, "It's in the advanced stage, I can only endure it like this."

Qi Tianfu opened his mouth and regretted, "I wish I had come to you sooner."

He always thought that his old friend was living a happy life, and he didn't think about disturbing his life, but now it seems that it's better to disturb him earlier.

Huang Ming laughed at him, "Look for me earlier, so I don't have to get sick? How old are you, why are you still so naive?"

Huang Ming himself knew that his disease was caused by not eating enough in his early years, and it also had the consequences of being in a bad mood over the years.

It's not something that can be solved sooner or later.

Anyway, he accepted it frankly.It's just that his children suffered a lot, refused to accept their fate, and worked hard to save money to treat his illness.

"Why not? If Miss helps, you will definitely be cured when you first find out." Qi Tianfu argued hard.

He had inquired about it before, and heard that there are treatments for early-stage cancer abroad, if it was earlier...

"Don't open your mouth to ask for the help of the lady. You are not a lady. Don't always rely on the kindness of the lady and make decisions for her as if it should be taken for granted."

Huang Ming frowned, he couldn't see Qi Tianfu like this, everyone has their own ideas, and he doesn't need others to decide for him.What's more, it's still a young lady.

"I know." Qi Tianfu said sullenly.

He is quick to talk at times, and usually he listens to the young lady.

"How is Miss now?"

"It's very good. After the master left, the lady took over his restaurant. She had a lot of golden ideas at a young age. Xiao Zhou was promoted by her because of her good ability. The management is booming. Now it has bought many properties and developed the family very well."

Qi Tianfu was very proud of mentioning Zhang Jiao, and told Huang Ming many great things that the young lady had done, and praised her for her skill.

Huang Ming was relieved, he also heard a lot of praise for Ningguo Hotel. "Miss is like the master, and the master was so powerful back then." It's just that the master is weak and doesn't have that much energy, which is a pity that he is talented.

"That's right, Miss also asked me to find you this time." Qi Tianfu told him frankly.

"What do you want from me?" Huang Ming was surprised.

"Please go out and help her do things."

Huang Ming smiled self-deprecatingly, "Forget it, my current virtue cannot help the young lady, it will only drag her down."

He took out the other arm under the quilt, and placed it in front of Qi Tianfu intuitively.

Qi Tianfu grabbed his right arm, "What's going on? Where's your right hand? Who did it?"

Qi Tianfu was terrified, thinking that Huang Ming had been persecuted.

Huang Ming patted the back of his hand comfortingly, "I don't blame anyone. When I was at the Saigon factory in the early years, I accidentally got caught in the machine. Fortunately, I only lost one hand and my life was saved."

When he talked about his past experiences, he didn't feel any emotion at all.Qi Tianfu felt that he was telling other people's stories in a bland manner, which had nothing to do with himself.

"You've had such a hard time, why didn't you come back to see us?" Qi Tianfu reproached with distress.

"I don't have the nerve to go back." Huang Ming slapped himself in the face with his remaining left hand. "In this life, I'm sorry for the master, my parents, and my children. The only one who can be considered worthy is my wife."

The master was seriously ill and he did not come back in time. His parents were old and frail but still had to help him raise his children. The children had to bear his burden at such a young age.How can he be worthy of these people who treat him well?
"The master didn't think you were sorry for him. Before he left, he said he regretted not seeing you again."

Tears welled up in Huang Ming's eyes instantly, he raised his head abruptly, trying to shed the tears back, "I'm just sorry for him."

At that time, he obviously received a call, but he didn't come back because his wife was suddenly critically ill and needed to be sent to the hospital for surgery.

Qi Tianfu sighed and did not persuade him again. This must be the knot in Huang Ming's heart.

"Don't think too much, just get well."

Huang Ming remained silent, and his mood returned to the calmness just now, "I beg you to do something. I am running out of days, and I can't let go of my two children. They are young. Please help me take care of them in the future."

He has no relatives left, so he can only seek help from Qi Tianfu, a person with whom he has some friendship and who is fairly trustworthy.

"Okay, I will." Qi Tianfu solemnly promised.

"My eldest daughter is called Huang Ying, and my youngest son is called Huang Qi. My parents raised them well, they are filial and sensible, and they learned Sichuan cuisine from my mother. Now they open a noodle restaurant in Crescent Bay, and the business is still good." Get by."

Speaking of his children, Huang Ming smiled unconsciously on his face, "We haven't gotten together for a long time. Next time you come back, I'll ask them to prepare a table of good food for you, and we'll have a couple of drinks."

"Okay!" Qi Tianfu did not refuse, and listened to him with a smile.

……

Huang Ming thought, if he was not sick and his hands were not disabled, and Qi Tianfu came to ask him to do something for the lady, he would definitely agree.

"Dad, what are you thinking?" Seeing that he was in a daze again, Huang Ying interrupted him, "Eat quickly, the meal will be cold later."

"Well, good." Huang Ming smiled and began to concentrate on eating.

He didn't tell his daughter what was on his mind.Similarly, Huang Ying did not tell him what happened today.

Both of them hid their emotions and did not speak them out.

*
After dinner, Brother Peng came back to report on the matter.

Zhang Jiao led him into the study, "How is things going?"

Brother Peng nodded, "Mr. Tang said he knew."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work. You can go back and rest. I won't go out tomorrow to give you a day off."

Brother Peng has also been busy with her for many days recently, and she doesn't plan to go out for the next few days, just to let him rest.

"Yes, Miss." Brother Peng did not show any joy and calmly withdrew.

On the way back in the afternoon, Zhang Jiao asked Brother Peng to go back and bring the gangsters to her senior brother, giving him a good opportunity to scare the monkeys.

As long as Zhang Jiao thinks of those people robbing women, she will feel sick.Normally, it is just a matter of charging some protection fees, but they actually started this kind of thing, so the gang should take care of it.

Although the Whitebeard Gang is not the biggest gang in Hong Kong City, it is still a big and well-known gang. Isn't it embarrassing for the Whitebeard Gang to do this?

You must know that Whitebeard founded the gang in the early years to protect ordinary people. Therefore, Whitebeard Tang Ao's name is one of the best in this land. Everyone who has been part of the gang knows him.

The white beard and long beard covering half of his face is his symbol, and the name Whitebeard Gang comes from this.

But after all these years, Tang Ao didn't like to take care of chores, he was old and frail, and his only heir was young, so it was inevitable that the gang would be a bit messy.

There are many people who fight for power and do not abide by the rules.Now that even such dirty methods are used, it is really disgusting.

A few years ago, Tang Ao's old injury relapsed and stepped down from his seat. His only son, Tang Qiu, inherited the mantle and became the new head of the White Beard Gang.

Tang Qiu was young and full of ambition. As soon as he took office, he made drastic rectifications and focused on cleaning up the evil forces in the Whitebeard gang. He vowed to revive the gang regulations, cut off the gray source of income, and fully operate Baizhou Shipping.

The eldest brother Zhang Jiao mentioned was Tang Qiu. He and Zhang Jiao's four brothers and sisters all worshiped under the sect of Jia Li, Zhang Jiao's cousin and Tang Qiu's uncle. However, because Tang Qiu entered the family earlier, he became everyone's eldest brother. Senior brother.

They have lived together since they were young, practicing martial arts and playing, their relationship is not so good, and they still keep in touch after they grow up.

Zhang Jiao naturally knew what he was doing now.Today's appearance was regarded as a small gift from her to Tang Qiu, providing another opportunity to reduce the power of the gang.

By the way, he also rescued the brother and sister, killing two birds with one stone.

However, Zhang Jiao suddenly thought, with such a golden thigh, why didn't Chu Yan go to Tang Qiu to invest in her TV series?

Tang Qiu was so rich, no, he was rich and had many people. Zhang Jiao couldn't even keep up with him.

"Miss!" Qi Bo came back.

Zhang Jiao let him in, "Is Qi Bo okay?"

Qi Bo didn't know how to speak. Seeing the lady looking at him inquisitively, he closed his eyes, "Miss, I found the Huang Ming you asked me to find earlier."

Zhang Jiao was delighted, "Then what did he say?"

"Huang Ming has cancer, and it won't be long. He said he won't cause trouble for the lady."

"Ah?" Zhang Jiao frowned slowly. This is too unfortunate. A situation where no one is available."

Although the process is slow, she doesn't plan to invest now. She is a salty fish, so what to do, is it possible that she wants to die early?
The ending in the original book is not so good.

But Huang Ming can't ignore it, "If there is anything Huang Ming needs to help, you can help as much as you can. If you don't have enough money, you can pay it from the account. It also counts the friendship between him and my father for so many years."

"Yes, miss. He did ask me something."

"What?" Zhang Jiao looked at him.

"He begged me to take care of his children for a while, and just help him when he is in trouble."

Qi Bo picked some important things that Huang Ming said to him and told Zhang Jiao.

Huh?Huang Ying Huang Qi?He still opened a noodle restaurant in Crescent Bay, isn't that the two she met today?
What a coincidence, she and the pair of siblings are quite destined.

"You should. I met them when I was eating out today. Their store is really hard to open. You should go and see it."

Zhang Jiao also told Qi Bo what happened in the noodle shop today. She saw that although the siblings had accepted Qi Bo's contact information, they probably would not come to Qi Bo in a short time.

In addition, the group of Cockscomb Heads have also been cleaned up by the elder brother, so they will not contact Qi Bo, let Qi Bo take care of himself.

After explaining the matter clearly, Zhang Jiao let Qi Bo go back.

She had to call Tang Qiu immediately.
