Hardy Empire 1945

A farm in Burbank.

Hardy's car was parked outside, and a farmer came out to check, looking at Hardy and then at Richard.

Who are you looking for?

We are Henry's friends and have contacted him by phone before. Hardy said.

The farmer nodded,

I'll take you to find him.

The three walked into the bullpen. Henry was wearing jeans and rain boots and was struggling to fork the cow dung. Hearing the shouting, he turned his head to see Hardy and Richard, and threw the fork away happily.

Hardy, Richard.

Henry ran over and hugged Hardy hard, then hugged Richard.

It's great to see you all.

Hardy smiled and said, How about it, come with me now.

Pa~!

Henry stood at attention.

Report to the squad leader Hardy, Henry is back!

Henry greeted the boss, packed up his salute, threw his backpack into the car and ran into the car, waving goodbye to the rancher.

Old Logan, I'm going to Los Angeles.

The rancher waved his hand, I wish you success Henry, it's nice to be young.

on the way,

Hardy asked Henry, Do you know where the lunatic is, I couldn't reach him on the phone?

Henry smiled helplessly, The lunatic is being held in prison now.

The maniac's real name is Matthew Settle, because the guy fights desperately and fights as bravely as a maniac, so his comrades give him the nickname of a maniac.

Hardy was taken aback, What's going on?

Hurt people, he became a transport driver when he came back. We met a few times. Two months ago, he had a conflict with another truck driver in a restaurant. You know that a madman fights to death. .

He could have been released on bail, but he has no money and can only stay in prison, and he has no money to compensate. I am afraid that he will be sentenced to a year or two in prison.

How much bail? Hardy asked.

$2,000.

Two thousand dollars is equivalent to 10 months' salary of an ordinary person. It is definitely not a small sum of money for ordinary people, and Americans generally do not have the habit of saving. To be honest, they have no money to save, so Matthew can't get this money at all. Come out and stay in jail.

Which prison?

San Marinos Prison.

Hardy turned the steering wheel and drove in the direction of San Marinos prison. A few hours later, the three met Matthew in the visiting room.

Matthew was very surprised to see the three of them, Boss Hardy, Henry, Richard, why are you two together, and why do you want to see me again?

Hardy stuffed the guard with $10, and the guard turned his head.

Hardy threw a cigarette to Matthew, and Matthew immediately lit it and took two hard puffs, puffing out the smoke as if he was enjoying it.

How was your time in there, have you been bullied? Hardy asked with a smile.

Matthew laughed and said proudly: When I first came, there were indeed a few guys who wanted to bully me as a newcomer, but they were all beaten down by me, and no one dared to provoke me after that, and now I am here. Eat well, sleep well, and have a group of younger brothers, who are living a very nourishing life.

Hardy nodded with a smile.

Originally, I wanted to bail you out, but now it doesn't seem to be necessary.

Hearing that, Matthew's expression changed, and he grabbed Hardy's hand and said eagerly, Boss, do you have the money to bail me, then get me out quickly.

Aren't you very comfortable here. Henry said with a smile.

That's not as comfortable as outside. Matthew said.

The three got out of the prison, and Hardy took out two thousand dollars from him and handed it to Henry, You are responsible for bail Matthew, and I have to find someone.

Don't worry, boss, we will get the lunatic out in three days.

Matthew's case is very simple, not a big one.

Money is naturally easy to bail out.

Who shall we go to next? Richard asked.

Cannonball.

The cannonball Hardy mentioned is also the brother of a company before them. His full name is Neil MacDonald. He is best at using all kinds of mines. Detonators, grenades, mines, and time bombs are all very slippery. Everyone named him Cannonball.

They found Neil's house according to the address. The two knocked on the door. Neil opened the door and saw Hardy and Richard were surprised, hugging the two former brothers.

into the house,

The furnishings in the room are very outdated.

A woman came out, looking young and not ugly, but her face was pale.

This is my wife Jenny, Neil introduced.

Jenny said hello to Hardy and Richard, Neil, your friend is here, I'm going to make coffee, cough, cough.

He coughed hard just after saying a word.

No, go to bed and rest, I'll do it myself. Neil quickly helped his wife.

Not long after, Neil came out with two cups of coffee and placed them in front of Hardy and Richard. Hardy asked, What's wrong with your wife?

Tuberculosis, a lung disease.

Hardy was shocked. Tuberculosis is now a serious disease that can kill people.

Is there no treatment?

Neil lowered his head, I have seen it, the doctor said that it needs to be treated with a drug called penicillin, but that drug is very expensive, and you can't afford it after only a few uses.

Penicillin was officially put into production in 1942. Because of its miraculous curative effect, penicillin is now more expensive than gold, and it is indeed not affordable for ordinary people.

Even in later generations, there are a lot of medicines that cost tens of thousands of yuan per injection, which can bring down a family.

Hardy thought for a while and said, Neil, you know what I'm here for.

Of course, Boss Hardy, I really want to do it with you, but I still have to take care of Jenny, so I'm afraid I can't help you. Neil whispered.

But it's not a way to delay the disease without treatment, right? Hadi said.

I can't help it either. Neil was very annoyed, angry that he was incompetent.

Hardy thought for a while and said, Neil, I have an idea. Jenny will take her to Los Angeles and find a hospital for her to receive regular treatment. How about we think of a solution together?

Neil lowered his head and thought for a while, thinking that this was the best way to save Jenny, and immediately made up his mind, Okay, go to Los Angeles.

Pack up immediately and drive to Los Angeles the same day.

Hardy sent Jenny directly to the Murphy Clinic. After seeing it, Dr. Murphy said that Jenny was not in the most serious condition. There is a high chance of cure with penicillin, but the cost is very high.

We will find a way to deal with money, and ask Dr. Murphy to do his best to treat him, Hardy said.

Dr. Murphy left, and a nurse came over not long after, Mr. Hardy, please pay the $1,000 treatment deposit first.

To be honest, Hardy has no money now.

The money earned from killing Cook, and the money he earned from delivering alcohol this month, totaled just over 2,000 yuan. Before, he took out $2,000 to bail the lunatic Matthew, and now he only has more than 300 in his pocket.

Hardy thought for a while, and told Neil to leave. After about an hour, he came back and paid the deposit for Neil's wife's treatment.

Neil found something.

Hady, where's your gold watch?

Hardy smiled, The watch is just a decoration. Find a place to store it temporarily. Well, now you don't have to worry about the cost of medicine.

Neil was deeply moved.

But he gritted his teeth and said nothing.

brother,

No need for nonsense.

He took it to heart.

After settling down his wife, Neil felt as if he had opened his heart, looked at Hardy and said, Boss Hardy, what's your next order?

Hardy smiled lightly and patted Neil on the shoulder, No hurry, wait for Henry and the lunatic to come over in a day or two. I'll take you and Richard to see someone who is also in this hospital.

Who?

Bill.

When the three opened the door, they found Bill leaning on the head of the bed, and a beautiful nurse was feeding him fruit. This bastard was really nourished.

When Bill saw the person coming, he immediately cheered.

Richard, Cannonball, why are you here?

The three sat down and talked, Hardy said: I found Richard and Cannonball, Henry and Matthew will come in three days, I'm going to find two people, two friends I met when I was injured, one is called Leigh Oh, the other one is called Kerry, and they're both in the Marines, but they're not in our company, they live near Los Angeles, and they've called and they'll be here tomorrow.

When we gather together, we won't have to be afraid of those Irish bastards' sneak attack anymore.

Bill immediately flattered Hardy.

As expected of the boss of Hardy, we have found so many brothers in such a short period of time. When our brothers reunite, we must kill those guys.

Hardy looked at Bill.

Get well soon, don't wait for us to finish our work when you leave the hospital.

Bill chuckled, It must be well as soon as possible, and fight side by side with the brothers.
