Nine-year-old Hong passed away. According to the customs of their hometown, they need to stop for one year. Even if the circumstances are special, they need to keep their filial piety for at least one month.

"One month? It's easy for you to say. If you don't come on stage for a month, what about my water, electricity, and labor? I can't do business anymore!" Hearing that they would suspend work for a month, Boss Ma immediately refused. He's a businessman, not a philanthropist, and even if he wanted to, the theater still had a lot of people to support, and he couldn't afford it.

"Boss Ma, it's convenient for you. I will definitely come on stage after the filial piety period. Do you think it's okay?"

"Miss Tianying, it's not that I don't want to. I still have a lot of people under my command. If you don't open for a month, I can't waste time here with you."

Before leaving, Boss Ma told Duan Tianying that it would take up to three days, and if he still does not open after three days, he would leave the residence he provided.

Duan Tianying was helpless, and wanted to ask Luo Fusheng for help, but after waiting in MGM for a whole day, he didn't see anyone else, and no one knew where he was.I wanted to find it through Lin Zhixia, but since Lin Zhixia left the theater, they hadn't been in contact with each other, and I didn't know where to find it.Unknowingly came to the police station, Duan Tianying lingered at the gate of the police station for a long time, and finally left.

On the day of the funeral, Xu Xingcheng came to worship with a bouquet of flowers, but Duan Tianci refused. During the dispute, Xu Xingcheng's men shot and wounded Duan Tianci, which intensified the conflict.

Duan Tianci was sent to the hospital, and Duan Tianying brought some people back to continue dealing with Nine Suihong's funeral.

After dealing with Jiu Suihong's funeral, Boss Ma's matter has not been resolved yet.Duan Tianying had no choice but to leave the theater first and let other troupes station in. After compensating Boss Ma for the losses of the past few days, the remaining money was used to pay the rent to Boss Ma, and agreed to wait for the future income after the opening [-] points.

When he came to Longfu Theater with Lin Zhixia again, Luo Fusheng found out that the theater troupe stationed here had been changed, and after inquiring, he found out that because Nine Suihong's deceased Duan's troupe had to stay awake for a month, he had to temporarily quit the theater troupe.After learning the cause and effect, the two of them didn't know what to say except to lament that things are right and people are wrong.

One day, an uninvited guest came to Hong's pier, a Japanese woman in a kimono, she looked a little young, but she was very maturely dressed.

"Head Luo Er, first time meeting, I am Mirai Rika." After the woman introduced herself, someone moved a chair behind her to sit down.

"Ah, okay, this girl, you are..." Luo Fusheng didn't like the Japanese, and he didn't like this Japanese woman who entered the territory of the Hong Gang openly.

"It's like this. Not long ago, I shipped a batch of goods from Japan, but it was detained by the Gui Gang. No, I'm here to find the second master to get it back."

Luo Fusheng remembered that he had indeed seized a batch of goods from Japan not long ago, and he was still waiting for someone to come to pick them up, but he didn't expect the owner of the goods to be so small.

Someone brought the goods and the manifest, opened them one by one in front of Mirai Limoto, checked them, and handed them to her to take away after confirming that they were correct.

"Second master, it seems that something is missing."

"What's wrong? The goods are here, and the documents are here. There is no problem with the verification."

"There's something missing inside."

"Is it on the manifest? Where can I find things that are not on the manifest?"

"Second leader, as long as you give me the bad goods, how about I share your profits?"

"I don't even know what's wrong with you. Where can I find it for you?"

"You...Second leader, we come out to do business, give each other face. If the second leader thinks it's too little, [-]%?"

Li Benfuture keeps increasing his weight, Luo Fusheng pretends to be stupid, Liben Future has no choice but to leave with the items on the invoice.

After Liben Mirai left, Luo Fusheng ordered to strengthen the inspection of the goods at the wharf, not only for the Japanese, but also for any goods going to and from the wharf to be strictly guarded to prevent opium from flowing into Shanghai.

After that day, Li Benfu would come to Luo Fusheng from time to time, either to treat him to a meal or a banquet, or to drink tea.After a few times of fruitlessness, he simply went directly to MGM and sat on the sofa that Luo Fusheng used to sit on.

When Luo Fusheng came to MGM, the ballroom had already been booked by Li Benwei, and all the guests had been cleared away. Li Benwei was sitting on the sofa in the middle, drinking wine, with several of her subordinates standing beside her.

"Hey, hey, who are you so ignorant? Can you sit here? This seat is for my daughter-in-law."

"I can't help it. The second boss doesn't appreciate face after posting so many posts, so I had to come in person." Li Benfu said as he drank the wine in his hand, and then poured another glass.

"I don't understand people's language, right? This position belongs to my wife. Would you like me to find you an interpreter?" Luo Fusheng told Luo Cheng to find an interpreter in a serious manner.

"Don't bother me, I can understand." Li Ben future said and got up and sat on the side sofa.

"Luo Cheng, go disinfect, be careful when your sister-in-law comes and says you are lazy."

Li Benfu's subordinates were about to draw their guns, and Hong's subordinates also touched their hands behind their waists.

"Second Master, I asked directly, how are you willing to give me the goods?"

"I'll tell you directly, if I, Luo Fusheng, stay in Shanghai for a day, you don't even think about going ashore with those harmful things. Luo Cheng, see off!"

Seeing that Luo Fusheng's path was really impracticable, Li Ben turned his attention to Xu Rui'an in the future.Xu Rui'an was willing to help, but because of the poor marriage contract between Hong and Xu's family, he asked Hong Zhengbao to open the door for them.

"It's simple, just cancel the engagement. As far as I know, the Hong Gang is no longer what it used to be. On the contrary, the Xinglong Pavilion is on the rise. We can support the Xinglong Pavilion. At that time, the matter of the wharf is not up to you, Director Xu. Calculate."

"Then I have to think about it."

After sending Li Benfu away, Xu Ruian began to make up his own plans.Just like what Li Benfu said, the Hong Gang is not as good as it used to be, and the marriage with the Xu family is just to seek asylum, and it will not bring any benefits to the Xu family.It is a good choice to cooperate with the Japanese, but it has to be in the case of protecting his own interests, so he needs to think carefully.However, it is not necessary to temporarily postpone Xu Xingcheng's engagement with Hong Lan.

Luo Fusheng came back more and more lately recently, every time Lin Zhixia asked about it, he only said that there were many things at the pier, and told her to go to bed first and not wait for him.It's just that it's winter, and the pier is windy, so I don't know if he has kept warm.Lin Zhixia thought about it and had no choice but to go to Luo Cheng, ask how much is how much, and guess the rest.

"Sister Zhixia, my brother won't let me tell because I'm afraid you'll be worried."

"I'm more worried if he doesn't tell me."

"Then don't say I said it."

"If you don't tell me any more, I'll tell Fu Sheng that you've told me everything."

From Luo Chengna, I learned that Luo Fusheng once seized a batch of opium, so the other party came to ask for it again and again to no avail.After that, inspections of the wharf were intensified, and no gram of opium was allowed to flow into Shanghai.

"Actually, this is the quickest way to get money. However, it's best not to touch it if you can. It's easy to encounter family ruin and death."

She doesn't know anything about the pier, and she can't help Luo Fusheng.Lin Zhixia regretted why she didn't get in touch with some family affairs at the beginning, otherwise she could help him now.

Luo Fusheng has been busy with yoga recently, and sometimes he doesn't come back all night.After coming back in the morning, he sent Lin Zhixia to work and left in a hurry, not even caring about the fried rice.This kind of life lasted for a month, until Duan Tianying returned to Longfu Theater after finishing his filial piety.

On the first day of Duan Tianying's return, the audience was full, Xu Xingcheng also went, Luo Fusheng and Lin Zhixia did not.Luo Fusheng couldn't get away because of something, Lin Zhixia was afraid that something would happen if he went, so he simply didn't go.

With the sound of gongs and drums, Duan Tianying stepped on the drums and came out, but he couldn't make a sound when he sang. After several attempts, he still couldn't sing, and finally passed out on the stage.

"Tianying!" Xu Xingcheng jumped onto the stage over the railing, and sent her to the hospital after a simple examination.

"The voice is all normal, there is no problem. You said that there is no problem with speaking normally, but you can't make a sound when singing?"

"Ah."

"That should be a psychological problem. I suggest you see a psychiatrist."

After Duan Tianying came back for the first time, such a situation happened. The audience asked for refunds one after another. Boss Ma was also anxious like ants on a hot pot, and hurriedly found someone to save the scene. It was hard to say that he retained a part of the audience.

"Miss Tianying, which song do you sing?" I thought that Tianying's return to the stage would not only make a lot of money but also make up for all the previous losses. I'm in a hurry.

Xu Xingcheng gave Boss Ma a sum of money to send him away. Duan Tianci wanted to talk but when he saw Xu Xingcheng help them out, he stared at him fiercely but couldn't say a word.

Afterwards, Duan Tianying disbanded the theater troupe, and originally planned to leave Shanghai and return to his hometown with Duan Tianci, but changed his mind before leaving.She wants to know her own life experience and who her parents are.Hearing from Nine Suihong that he picked her up in Shanghai, her biological parents are probably still in Shanghai, and finally decided to stay.

But staying and surviving is a problem, Xu Xingcheng wanted to help but Duan Tianying refused, Duan Tianci hurriedly said a few more words to let Xu Xingcheng leave.

After disbanding the theater troupe, I rented a house with the remaining money, a two-bedroom with a kitchen.The location is a bit remote and the house is a bit small, but fortunately, there are basic furniture, and the rent is also cheap, five yuan a month.

Duan Tianying originally wanted to ask Xu Xingcheng to get the necklace back, which was the only clue to find her parents, but she really didn't want to see Xu Xingcheng now, and planned to find a job to stabilize it before making a long-term plan.

With hard work, Duan Tianying quickly found a job in a flower shop. The salary is not very high, but it can also subsidize the family after rent.But Duan Tianci is difficult to serve. It is tiring to work as a coolie on the dock, it is shameful to be a doorman in a hotel, and it is embarrassing to work in other theater troupes. In the end, he can rely on Duan Tianying to support him with peace of mind.Xu Xingcheng wanted to help and also wanted Duan Tianying's understanding, but Duan Tianying ignored him, so he had to find the landlord they were renting and gave the landlord a sum of money so that he would not be allowed to press for the rent.Seeing that Xu Xingcheng was dressed in a police uniform, the landlord didn't dare to ask more questions, so he nodded and said yes after collecting the money.

Lin Zhixia's salary has increased a lot since she became a full-time employee. In addition, Luo Fusheng really took the initiative to pay the rent and food expenses every month, and her life became rich all of a sudden.But Lin Zhixia is afraid of living in poverty. Although she won't lose out on the necessities of life, she can still save other expenses if she can, and save the rest of the money for emergencies.
