Chapter 542 Labeling Jews

Li Yueru glanced at Xian Yaowen and said nothing.

Narcissus covered her mouth and chuckled.

Zhang Zhexian was planted with lotus flowers by She Agui's people. The reason was that without the "stealing" filter, Zhang Zhexian's image in Li Yueru's mind took a sharp turn for the worse. His original advantages faded, and his disadvantages became more and more serious. In the end, he became useless, and the only useful thing was that thing.

However, Zhang Zhexian was not an honest man. He cheated on Li Yueru without telling her. Li Yueru forgave him once, but Zhang Zhexian did not repent. After doing this several times, Li Yueru could no longer tolerate it and took ruthless action.

Xian Yaowen chuckled, "It's hard to find a three-legged toad, but two-legged men are everywhere. Men can have three wives and four concubines, and women can have eight thousand male lovers. Just keep looking."

Li Yueru threw a seductive glance, "I just like people like you, Mr. Xian."

"No problem. I also like women of your age, Ms. Li. Thirty-six is ​​like a poem or a painting, and the wind and rain have made it more charming. Thirty-six is ​​a gift from time, exuding the fragrance of maturity and confidence. Thirty-six is ​​like a fruit in midsummer, mature and full.

Time flies. A 36-year-old woman is like mellow wine, and every drop of it tells a story. After 36 years of glory, Ms. Li, you are more gentle than time. "

Xian Yaowen grabbed Li Yueru's hand and kissed her on the lips, "Yueru, I'm coming to your place tonight, remember to leave the door open for me."

Li Yueru shyly withdrew her hand and spat, "Mr. Xian, how dare you be so rude in front of Miss He."

Narcissus said with a smile: "Sister Li, don't pay attention to me, you guys continue flirting."

Xian Yaowen sniffed the palm of his hand and smiled faintly: "The fragrance of lotus is light, elegant and fragrant."

Li Yueru rolled her eyes at Shuixian and Xian Yaowen, "Mr. Xian, today is Lantern Festival, let's not waste time on boring things. I want to go back early to make ginger glutinous rice balls."

Xian Yaowen turned to look at Narcissus and said, "Yes, today is the Lantern Festival. I plan to take Narcissus home for a family reunion. Ms. Li, you are alone, why don't you come to my house together?"

Hearing this, Narcissus's face broke into a charming smile, and she felt extremely happy.

Li Yueru glanced at Shuixian, then looked at Xian Yaowen and said, "Is it convenient?"

"convenient."

"Sorry for bothering you."

Xian Yaowen picked up the coffee cup and said, "Let's talk after dinner."

"it is good."

After taking two sips of coffee, Xian Yaowen and Narcissus changed their itinerary and went to Warin to promote the service in advance.

At the same time, in Shek Kip Mei, the Xian family was setting up a stall again.

Xian Yuzhen and Wang Xiamin were in front of a table with neatly arranged sieves on it. In the sieves were circles of glutinous rice balls from the inside out. The dough was made of glutinous rice flour mixed with ginger paste, and the fillings were osmanthus, sesame and brown sugar.

The two men, wearing medical gloves, gave two pairs of dumplings to each adult in the queue and three pairs to each child.

"Happy Lantern Festival, little sister."

"Uncle, happy Lantern Festival."

Every time they serve dumplings, they will offer blessings.

Next to the two of them was Zhou Ruoyun's stall. She acted as a letter writer, not only writing letters for free, but also affixing letter paper, envelopes and stamps.

"Old lady, let me read it to you. Ajuan, this is looking up. Xiaobao and I are doing well in Hong Kong. I work in a restaurant, earning a good salary, and the restaurant provides meals with rich food. Xiaobao is studying in school..."

Next to Zhou Ruoyun is the stall of Xian Yaowu and Zhong Jieling. The two of them answer legal questions for the residents of Shek Kip Mei. Zhong Jieling simply answers legal questions, while Xian Yaowu also teaches knowledge on how to rescue people from the police station.

There are many hawkers in Shek Kip Mei, and one of the duties of the police is to catch hawkers who violate the rules. Some of them are stubborn and slow to run and will be taken to the police station. There are procedures for bailing them out and getting their stalls back, which is not easy for those who are not familiar with it.

Xian Yaowu informed the person who was consulting about the process, who to contact, and how much money would be spent on the surface. As for how much it would cost behind the scenes, he was not willing to talk about that.

A secret that everyone knows is still a secret, and if it is a secret you cannot talk nonsense about it.

Next to Xian Yaowu and his friend's stall was Su Lizhen's stall. She got some recruitment quotas from the plastic factory, and HK Consulting sponsored some more quotas to hold an on-site job fair.

There is the Xian's Clinic stall next door. Since they have nothing to do, they might as well hold a free clinic to practice their skills.

The public security guards temporarily formed a leak-removing team, pulling three carts of wooden blocks and oil felt, and shuttling between the huts. Whoever wanted to remove a leak could just call them, and one or two holes could be repaired immediately. Large-scale leaks could not be removed as materials were limited, and a good thing could not be taken up by just a few families.

In a slightly remote location, someone was holding a sign of Elizabeth Hospital with an arrow on it. Following the direction of the arrow, Kan Meilin and two nurses were staying in a makeshift shack waiting for patients to come.

A good woman is afraid of a clinging man. Xian Yaowu is not bad, and with his shameless spirit, Kan Meilin basically has no chance to escape. Today, she participated in this job as a representative of Elizabeth Hospital and Xian Yaowu's future concubine.

Sun Shucheng and Xian Qianzhi also came. The former carried two large bags on his shoulders, while the latter had a small bag on his chest and another small bag hanging on his waist. They shuttled through the alleys between the huts. When they saw children, Xian Qianzhi would grab a handful of candy from her small bag and give it to them. After they had divided the small bags, she would take the candy from Sun Shucheng's big bag.

"Tell me your name."

"Cai Tou."

"Cai Tou, come here, sister will give you candy."

Often when Xian Qianzhi handed over a handful of candy, she would take out a piece of tissue from the small bag at her waist and help the child wipe the clear snot hanging from his nose, even if the child was about her age.

"Children from poor families grow up early" is mostly just a fallacy. Children from poor families just have to endure hardships early and master rough skills to stay alive early. Roses cannot grow easily in saline-alkali land, and children who pee and play in mud cannot wipe away their clear snot.

Xian Qianzhi was in front and Sun Shucheng followed behind, always paying attention to the "little adult" in front of them communicating with the child in a very serious manner. He wondered in his heart whether it was because of her mother's good teaching or because of the influence of her stepfather.

When she was nine years old, she lived in a world created by the Sun family's abundant wealth. She knew that there was poverty in this world, but it seemed very far away from her, and the people she came into contact with were at least well-off.

It must be the influence of his stepfather. Xian Yaowen is not easy to see through. When enjoying luxury, he seems as calm as a nobleman from a Chinese family, but he is obviously a peasant who has just rolled up his trouser legs.

A mysterious person!
Sham Shui Po Pier.

Lu Yansu stood by the railing, watching the fruit boat of Gan Tian Fruit Shop being besieged by two boats. The boat girl selling fruit was knocked into the sea by a paddle, and the grapefruits on the boat were ravaged by several harpoons, their yellow skin was punctured, and colorless juice flowed out of their white cores.

She was indifferent and did not talk about saving people. Instead, she hummed a song that the famous singer Fang Jingyin had just released a few days ago.

"The girl wears azaleas on her hair, facing the wind and following the waves to chase the colorful clouds; the boat rocks across the spring water without saying a word, the gentle water town is my home; the boat rocks across the spring water without saying a word, following the song to row towards him in my dream; the mouth sings softly without saying a word, the gentle water town is like the painting in the dream."

Halfway through the song, she turned to the man with a pigeon egg-sized gold ring on his finger, "Eight ounces of gold, which number is this?"

"Manager Lu, Article 7."

"Today is the Lantern Festival. I will go home first. You keep an eye on it and tell me tomorrow how many boats were damaged."

"Yes."

Lu Yansu took out a cigarette from her bag, lit it, took a sip, and watched the boat girl paddling skillfully towards the shore. She felt a little disappointed.

"It would be good if one or two were drowned. It would be easy to make a fuss about it."

Although the sweet fruit store has emerged as a dark horse, it still has to wait for the counterattack from the Dongguan guys in the fruit market. However, they chose to do it today, which is a bit despicable and really unkind.

When the boat girl's hand reached the pier, Lu Yansu turned and left, leaving behind a wisp of smoke.

At around five o'clock, Xian Yaowen brought Narcissus and Li Yueru back to No. 999 Oxley Road and asked Cai Jinman to entertain Li Yueru. He took Narcissus to Oxley Hill.

In Osiris is the St. No Synagogue, which was built in 1905 by the wealthy Jewish businessman Manasseh Meyer.

Thomas Oxley, a British surgeon, was one of the early European plantation owners in Singapore and was particularly fond of growing cardamom.

In 1837, Oxley purchased 173 acres of cleared jungle land from the East India Company and turned it into one of the finest cardamom plantations. The estate was demarcated to include Orchard Road, Grange Road, Leonie Hill Road, River Valley Road and The Dun Road.

Between 1855 and 1856, the cardamom plantation was hit by disease, which dealt a heavy blow to Oxley's planting business. He was forced to sell the plantation and return to England with his wife and children.

The Oxley Road area was purchased by Manasseh Meyer, who redeveloped the area into a residential area consisting mainly of detached houses.

Before the war, Oxley Road was a gathering place for the European middle class, including many Jews from other parts of Asia and Europe.

After Singapore was founded in 1819, many immigrants poured in to make a living, do business and make money. In addition to the Chinese, Malays and Indians, there were also Iranians from Britain and the Middle East, Sephardic Jews from Baghdad, Ashkenazi Jews from Europe, and blacks, etc.

The Jewish community has also contributed to the development and prosperity of Singapore and has produced many successful people, including Joseph Elias, a wealthy businessman who never married and has passed away, Manasseh Meyer, who has also passed away, and David Marshall, a lawyer who has shown an interest in politics.

The Jews in Singapore are generally wealthy, but there are no Jewish tycoons nowadays. The wealthy people in Singapore who are in the open are all Chinese, and the wealthy British have been lurking in the abyss for many years.

There are less than 1000 Jews in Singapore, but each of them employs no less than 50 workers and owns a lot of properties in the city. This is a huge force.

Walking on Oxley Road, Xian Yaowen took off the sickle-shaped cufflink on his left sleeve, took out a six-pointed star cufflink from his pocket and put it on, forming a pair with the one on his right sleeve.

Give the briefcase to Narcissus and take out a "talit" shawl and a small black round hat "kippah" from the bag.

The kippah is put on the head and fastened with a hairpin, and the tallit is wrapped around the neck and hung in front of the chest.

There is a saying that rules are set for those who are unable to break them, and those who are capable can ignore the rules.

In the previous life, it is questionable whether Xian Yaowen's mother was Jewish. Looking back, it is unknown how much mixed blood her ancestors had, but she came from a good family. She said she was Jewish, and she was Jewish.

In this life, her mother was neither Jewish nor converted to Judaism. Logically, he would not be considered a Jew wherever he went, but he needed to be a Jew, so he was a Jew.

As long as you are capable enough, you can be unreasonable and ignore the rules.

A poor person living in a busy city has no one to care about him, but a rich person living in a remote mountain area has distant relatives. The child of his wet nurse Xian Yaowen, because they had sucked from the same nipple, would call him brother and wish he was their real brother.

A celebrity with the surname Fang said that he was a descendant of Fang Xuanling, and the descendants of Fang Xuanling nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes"; the celebrity donated money to repair the ancestral hall, and the clan leader pointed at him and said, "You are from the eldest branch of the direct lineage"; the celebrity waved his hand and took a few of his clansmen out to make a fortune, and the Fang family's fans shouted in unison, "Whatever girl Brother Fang wants to sleep with, we'll go and kidnap her."

Whether Xian Yaowen is a Jew or not depends on whether he gives others a way out. Going to the synagogue is the way he wants to give.

My cheap dad is a Jew and believes in Judaism, so he is a Jew. Naturally, there will be people who will help him to solidify the unreasonable and questionable parts.

After getting dressed up, Xian Yaowen and his companion passed by No. 38 and No. 40. The two houses had extremely similar architectural styles. They were a pair of twin houses built by Dutch businessman Hermann Verrup on behalf of the architectural firm "Lermit and Westerhout".

The two houses were named "Castor" and "Pollux" after the twin sons of Zeus, the main god in Greek mythology. Wehrup sold the twin houses to a Jewish woman, Tira Frankel.

The Cai family once rented No. 38. If Xian Yaowen had not funded the construction of No. 998, No. 38 would have become Cai Guangyao’s new wedding home and given this house extraordinary significance.

At a glance, Xian Yaowen planned to invest in the purchase of Gemini, not only for the extraordinary meaning that was destined to disappear, but also to meet old lady Tira Frankel. According to his mother-in-law Li Renniang, the old lady's house was enough to buy two sets of mahjong and she was wealthy.

With his financial and property support, his mother-in-law delved into banking, house rental, and boarding house business, becoming a well-known figure in these three fields. After giving Cai Jinman every month, she still had three or two thousand left, making her a truly wealthy woman.

You have to know that it is quite difficult for the average Singaporean to take out a hundred dollars at once. You can still buy eggs at one cent each, and the most expensive is no more than one and a half cents. And if nothing unexpected happens, in Singapore thirty years from now, a hundred dollars will still be considered a large note.

Cai Jinman was also a small wealthy woman. All the rents from properties in Singapore went into her hands. She only knew the numbers, and the money had never passed through her hands.

His attitude as a potential son-in-law has been very good, but he just lacks the test of time. After a year or two, the label he put on the Cai family should be firmly attached. The next step is to move from the small branches to the main trunk and help Cai Guangyao rise to the sky. (End of this chapter)
