Chapter 20 Jacob’s Commission (please vote for further reading!!!)
"I see."
In the eyes of Jacob Valentine sincerely pleading, Ma Wei nodded and said: "But there is something we must agree on in advance."
"If Miss Maggie, who has balls, is not in love with you and you just have unrequited love, then I will no longer interfere in this matter."
"Of course, of course"
Jacob Valentine nodded repeatedly: "I truly love Miss Maggie, and I also believe that Miss Maggie loves me."
"Okay, that's it."
Taking out his pocket watch, Ma Wei checked the time: "I will go to South Street at 2 p.m., how about it?"
Today is Saturday, and you only have to work a half-day shift. However, perhaps because of the curse last night, most factories in the city have not started working today, so so many people can come to the church in the morning to listen to Ma Wei explain the truth.
If nothing unexpected happens
Maggie Kris and Jacob Valentine would stay home in the afternoon if they had nothing else to do.
"I will be waiting for your visit at home." With his left hand on his chest, Jacob Valentine bowed slightly.
Back in the kitchen, lunch had been prepared. The freshly fried herring was extremely crispy and did not need any condiments except salt. However, Mrs. Cecil still served a portion of sour cream to relieve the greasiness.
Compared to the cold boiled potatoes last night, Yunia preferred the freshly cooked French fries. The crispy outside and tender inside made her enjoy the food.
The only fly in the ointment.
Just no ketchup.
Eating French fries without ketchup is like eating pizza without cheese, it has no soul at all!
After lunch.
"Nia, get ready, we are going out."
"Go shopping for new clothes?"
"Yes, but before we buy new clothes, we have to go to South Street to complete Mr. Jacob's commission."
"I know, Dad!"
Yunia jumped off the stool, ran up the stairs, put on her little leather shoes, tied her scarf, and then returned to Ma Wei.
"Mrs. Cecil, we are going out for a while. If any believers come, please greet them first."
"knew."
"Xiao Hei, let's go."
"Meow?"
Xiao Hei, who was lying on the windowsill, basking in the sun with his eldest brother Fat Orange, looked up blankly, his eyes full of confusion.
In the past, Ma Wei went out to work, hosted funerals, weddings, etc., but he never called it!
Today this is
"Come here quickly, I'm afraid I have to do something this time."
"Meow"
Full of doubts, Xiao Hei followed his master obediently, took a Hansam two-wheeled carriage, and drove towards South Street.
2:07 pm, No. 156, South Street.
A biting cold wind was raging on the street, and Ma Wei felt a chill as soon as he got off the carriage.
It seems that this winter is still very cold.
Muttering in his mind, Ma Wei looked at the house number on the wall, and after confirming it was correct, he stepped forward and knocked on the door.
Boom, boom, boom!
Click.
After knocking twice, the door opened. Mr. Jacob, who had been waiting for a long time, saw Mavey and said happily: "Father, you are really on time! Come in quickly!"
Under his warm greeting, Ma Wei took Yunia and Xiao Hei into the entrance hall. As soon as they entered the room, they smelled a strong smell of alcohol.
"Mr. Jacobs, you haven't stopped drinking yet?"
Ma Wei frowned.
Normally, Jacob Valentine is still a mild-tempered person, but once he drinks, his temperament will change drastically. Although he will not abuse violence, just shouting in a loud voice is enough to make people unbearable.
Already.
"Quit it, quit it."
Jacob Valentine's cheeks were slightly red, he quietly hid the brandy in his hand behind his back, and said with a dry smile: "I stopped drinking since I drank too much last time and accidentally fell down the stairs. At that time
I’m still swearing in front of you, Father!”
"I hope you can fulfill your oath."
"Absolutely. Evelyn! Evelyn!"
Amidst Jacob's roar, a young maid wearing a beanie and an apron rushed out of the room with a feather duster. Her face with a few freckles was full of fear, and she asked tremblingly: "
Mr. Jacob, what are your orders?"
"Didn't you see the priest and the others coming? Hurry up and get some tea!"
"I know."
Just as the young maid was about to turn around, Ma Wei spoke: "No need for tea, Mr. Jacob, let's get to the point quickly. Is Mrs. Maggie at home?"
"Yes! At home!" Jacob replied: "I have been staring at her! Should we call her over or go to her place?"
"It would be too rude to call her over. It's better to go to her place to talk."
"no problem!"
After agreeing immediately, Jacob walked to the front, opened the door, quickly put the bottle of wine into his coat, then rushed to No. 155 next door, clenched his fists and started to smash the door.
Boom boom boom!
The old door frame vibrated with his hammering, and the dark green door swayed and creaked like leaves in a storm.
Soon someone came to open the door.
"Damn it! Jacob Valentine! Are you crazy?!"
A well-maintained woman with hair tied up high and fair skin appeared at the door of No. 155. She raised her eyebrows and looked at Jacob Valentine with gritted teeth: "Are you done yet?! I said
But Pippi won’t give it to you!”
Jacob ignored her at all and stared directly at the golden retriever Yorkshire terrier at the woman's feet. For a moment, his tone became much gentler: "Hey, Miss Maggie, we meet again."
"You pervert! Don't touch my dog!!!"
"Maggie Kris, I'm not here to quarrel with you, and I don't want to quarrel with you."
Jacob put away his smile, turned away, and said coldly: "Look who is coming?"
"Father Marvey?"
Maggie Chris was stunned for a moment and quickly calmed down her bad temper: "Why are you here?"
"I was entrusted by Mr. Jacob to resolve the conflict between you."
"This" Maggie Kris opened her mouth, but hesitated: "Oh, forget it, you can go sit in the room, but I want to warn you, Jacob Valentine, if you dare to shout again
If you scream, get out of my house immediately!"
"When have you ever seen me yell in front of Miss Maggie?" Jacob rolled his eyes at her and walked into the house.
In the living room, Mrs. Maggie brought several cups of black tea and put them on the table together with the sugar. She glared at Jacob Valentine who kept teasing Pippi and asked:
"Father, how do you want to resolve the conflict between me and him? This problem has troubled me for too long. Every day I have to beware of this damn bastard stealing Pippi!"
"So it's called Pippi, huh."
Ma Wei thought: "Since I'm here today, I hope you two can sit down and have a good talk. It would be great if we can reach an agreement."
"I have talked to him before." Mrs. Maggie replied: "I have raised Pippi since I was a child. How could I give it to others? Father, you should persuade him to stop hitting my skin."
It’s Pi’s idea, okay?”
"Ah"
Jacob, who was sitting in the corner, sneered: "Maggie Kris, can you fool others or me?"
"You have no feelings for Miss Maggie at all! You just want to use it to socialize with those upper-class people in suits and ties! Find your next husband!"
"Why do you say that? This is slander! This is slander!!!"
"Why?"
Jacob picked up Pippi, gently stroking its golden hair with his palms, his eyes gentle, as if looking at the lover in his dream: "Just because Miss Maggie and I have the same mind, she has already told me these things. Yes.
No, dear Miss Maggie?"
"."
Mrs. Maggie's face turned white and green, which was even more exciting than the color palette.
