After the divorce, I married my ex-wife and best friend

Chapter 540 All Roads Lead to Rome! (48)

night market,

A street stall, an inconspicuous corner, if it wasn't for Li Kefeng, the sixth master, who took the initiative to find him, no one would have guessed that this so-called "barber" was the youngest of the thirteen Taibao who had dominated Jinling Road for decades. !

The youngest is the thirteenth, full name [Li Gen]!
at this time,

The barber picked up a very short brush, dipped it in [old soap] water, soaked it until it became soft, and carefully wiped it on Liu Ye's chin and cheeks.

Then he picked up a towel and folded it twice. The folded square was placed in the washbasin. He poured scalding hot water from the kettle into the washbasin. The towel was unfolded, covering half of Master Liu's face, only his eyes were exposed.

Wait until it's almost hot,
The barber took off the towel and threw it into the washbasin. Finally, he took his old-fashioned razor and began to shave Mr. Liu carefully.

This kind of shave, also shave!
Less than 10 minutes,
Master Liu's face had already been shaved clean, and the barber applied the warm towel to Master Liu's face again.

Liu Ye was lying on the chair, breathing evenly, and seemed to have fallen asleep, looking very enjoying himself.

After a few more minutes,

Mr. Liu picked up the towel, wiped his face, picked up the mirror and looked at the old face that looked brand new in the mirror, but had already begun to show a lot of wrinkles, grinned and said, "Youngest, after all these years, your craftsmanship has not deteriorated in the slightest, on the contrary It's getting better and better!"

Speaking of which,

The sixth master glanced at the barber's right hand, squinted his eyes and asked, "I think your hand was very steady just now, but I'm very curious, are you steady when you hold the knife?"

The barber hunched his back and uttered a word in a concise manner, "Steady!"

"very good!"

Liu Ye smiled in satisfaction, and pointed to the handbag he brought over, "Old rules, this is the settling fee, wait for my call!"

Throwing away these words, Liu Ye got up and left.

The barber didn't even look at his handbag, put on his reading glasses, and continued to read the newspaper as if nothing had happened.

At this time,

A man in his 30s walked over with a briefcase in his arms and slumped on a chair, whispering, "Dad, I'm off work."

"Um,"

The barber didn't raise his head, his eyes were still fixed on the newspaper, and he asked casually, "Working overtime again? Is it already ten o'clock?"

The man looked bitter, and said with a sad face: "I can't help it, I need to make more money, you know, my future old mother-in-law looks down on me a bit! Besides, I went to talk, but it still didn't work out, she said Yes, the bride price is 30, not a single cent less!"

Speaking of which,

The man was silent for a while, and then continued: "Dad, although I know that I should not continue to ask you for money, but I am really forced to do nothing, I still have to ask, do you still have money? "

The barber put down the newspaper, took off his reading glasses and glanced at the man.

The man looked at the vicissitudes of the old face of the barber, his nose was slightly sour, and he forced a smile and said, "Forget it, Dad, just pretend I didn't ask! It's okay, trust me, I can handle it!"

The barber took off his reading glasses, put them away carefully, then pointed to the handbag next to the chair, and said, "Open it and have a look."

The man picked up the dilapidated handbag, opened it, and was immediately dumbfounded!

The banknotes are full of bright red hundred-dollar bills!
"dad!"

The man stood up suddenly, held the handbag firmly, and said in a trembling voice: "You, where did you get so much money? You, you don't know what you shouldn't do, do you?"

The barber smiled, "What shouldn't be done? When I was young, I did do a lot of things that shouldn't be done, but you can rest assured that the money is clean!"

finished,

The barber thought for a while, and added, "Also, you may not believe it, our family is actually quite rich! At least, there are quite a lot of shops in the house! Go to the bottom drawer of the bedside table in the old house Gossiping, if I remember correctly, there should be 17 real estate certificates! Well, I used to have some real estate, and it was demolished. I didn’t ask for money, but I asked for some houses and shops, so I left some property for you!”

The man was dumbfounded, and there was only one thought left in his mind, [I lived on a horse for 31 years before I realized that I am a second-generation demolition man! ? 】

"Great!"

The man's face flushed with excitement, and he waved his fist and said, "Now, let me see if my mother-in-law still dares to look down on me!?"

The barber sighed and said, "Looking at your prospects, you have to hang yourself on that crooked neck tree? Can't you find a better one?"

Ai Ai said, "I, Hong Hong and I have feelings..."

The barber curled his lips, "If she really has feelings for you, why does she insist on listening to her and asking you for a gift of 30 yuan when she knows you have no money?"

"Son, remember, any woman starts to hesitate before marrying you. In the final analysis, there is only one reason—to add money!"

Add money?

The man was stunned suddenly. He wanted to refute it very much, but he found that although his old father's words were simple and not a great truth, they hit the nail on the head and there was no way to refute it!
"Since you are asked to add money, then this is not a marriage, but a business!"

"It's impossible for a woman who is willing to marry you only to discuss business with you to spend her whole life with you!"

"You are marrying a wife. If you want to talk about business, you can just find a partner. What kind of relationship are you talking about?"

The barber said meaningfully: "Talking about money hurts feelings, but talking about feelings... hurts money!"

The man suddenly fell into a long silence.

The barber said earnestly: "When your mother gave birth to you, it was difficult to give birth. I was out [working], and when I came back, your mother left without even looking at me after giving birth!"

"Your mother left early, and I'm not a qualified father, but, son, I want to tell you that for so many years, in my heart, you have always been excellent, and you have always worked hard!"

"I didn't tell you about the house before, because I was afraid that you would know what to do with your money!"

"You have to understand, it's gold... I don't know if it will shine or not, but it will always be spent!"

The barber smiled and said: "Now that you have grown up, you have reached the point where you are talking about marriage. I will hand over the house to you. I am old. How will I live and what kind of wife will I marry? You have the final say! I believe that you will not let me down, let alone your mother, right? "

The man had mixed feelings in his heart. He was used to hard times and suddenly became rich overnight. One can imagine his mood, "Dad, why did you suddenly remember to tell me this today?"

"nothing!"

The barber glanced at Liu Ye who was drifting away, with a vague smile hanging from the corner of his mouth, he murmured in a low voice: "I'm getting old, that is, I suddenly miss your mother a little bit!"
