My Italy - Extra Chapter 6 Prelude
After the party, they naturally went back.
Among them, two cousins, Kalam and Kopet, were sent back by Pengang Deod, while the others were sent back by Pereira.
In the car, neither cousin said a word. Kalam was too shocked. On the one hand, it was because of his cousin, and on the other hand, it was because of the information revealed by his mentor, which was worth thinking about.
On Copet’s side, he was also thinking about today’s conversation with Mr. Peng. Don’t look at him looking carefree, but you are looking down on him. You must know that his father has 8 sons. As the second son, he can still become the heir. If this is really careless, his father can really rest assured that he will hand over the management of more than 7,000 people in the Taluk tribe to him in the future.
Although times are progressing, Zambian tribes can no longer let chiefs decide the life and death of their tribesmen, but chiefs still account for the majority of land, livestock, and wealth. Therefore, the chief cannot decide your life or death, but he can decide whether you are rich or poor, and even being cruel can make you unable to stay in the tribe.
Don’t think that life will be easier if you leave the tribe. Farmers who have land to cultivate in Africa are much better off than those who have lost their land. Unless it’s a year of great disaster, you won’t be hungry.
As for those who go to the cities, how can they find a stable job when the average prenatal education per capita in Africa is limited? So except for a few lucky ones, most of them work odd jobs and live in slums. You have to endure being fed and hungry, and you also have to accept the oppression of evil forces. Life is a miserable life.
However, although these people have been bullied, it is not easy at all to get them to believe in communism. Kalam and others have come to promote it before, but not only did the effect not be ideal, many people also asked if there was money to get it. Therefore, from the perspective of the development of communism in various countries, if it wants to grow in the early stage, it must be dominated by intellectuals, plus the working class. This is also the standard model of communism in various countries. This is way too far.
For Coppet, he was very satisfied with his meeting with Mr. Peng. What he said was indeed what he thought. But there is a small thought hidden in this, that is, he hopes to occupy enough weight in the political party he formed.
In his opinion, if a new party were formed by communists, it would have sufficiently high cohesion. He was impressed at the evening rally that as long as this organization made no mistakes, the enemy would have nothing to worry about. Therefore, whether it is for your own ideals and ambitions, or for your own interests, it is best to join it.
As for risk, there is no risk in doing anything. Walking is also risky. If you are bitten by a highly poisonous thing, it will be fatal. Capitalists can sell the rope to hang themselves for a hundredfold profit, and now Kopet has a profound understanding.
It didn’t take long for the car to take them outside the house.
After getting out of the car, thanking each other and watching the car drive away, the two of them stood there without moving their legs.
“Cousin, your performance today surprised me so much that it even made me wonder if you are really my cousin.”
Coppet knew that his cousin would have questions, so he looked at the other person and said. “Cousin Kalam, I can answer your doubts. In addition to attaching great importance to our friendship, it is also because I regard Tete as a place to relax. I have eight brothers, five of whom are adults. I want to be Young Chief must perform well enough in front of his father. I have been dressing myself up according to my father’s conditions for these years, so I can only release myself when I come to you.
Because I was a casual and relaxed person in front of you before, but when I return to the tribe, I will have the opposite personality, because I must ensure that I cannot disappoint my father. Fortunately, my father will not come to see my aunt. Today, after listening to Mr. Peng’s speech, I realized that it would be a failure to go back and wait to succeed the chief. I want to do big things and show my ambitions. I want everyone to know me. Communism is the best choice. Communism has cohesion and a strong will. The spirit of never giving up. I……”
As Kopet told it, Kalam had an image of a boy who was forced to change, a picture of a boy who was about to fight with humans and the sky.
“By the way, let me tell you a secret. I broke the leg of Sampa, the son of the chief of the Kabka tribe, not because he was angry, but because his brother Tubke paid me to bribe me.”
“Cousin, how could you…”
“He offered 200,000 kwacha (approximately 150,000 yuan, 18,000 US dollars)”
Kalam was speechless now. Such a huge fortune was enough to buy dozens of lives, not to mention breaking his legs.
“I know Tubuk’s idea. He is trying to use me to remove Sampa’s threat to him. He is a smart man and knows that it is me who will make Sampa lose face. I fulfilled his wish and sent his brother to him. The leg is broken.”
Karam was speechless now. He really needed to get to know his cousin again.
While Karam’s two cousins were talking, Pereira, who had returned home from a routine quarrel with her father, was in her room. The bright desk lamp illuminated the table, and Pereira was lying on the table and working hard.
“Nuram is from Moatize and his father is a coal mine administrator and I can be asked to talk to him.”
After jotting down a name, Pereira rummaged through his notebook. This notebook is very powerful. If someone picks it up, the communists gathered just now will lose most of it.
Pereira kept this notebook as a backup. Although it is not complete, it contains most of it. In addition, there are two notebooks for personnel records. Kalam also has an incomplete one in his hand, and Peng Gang has the complete list in his hand.
“Bang Bang~”
While Pereira was concentrating on selecting the list, there was a knock on the door.
“who?”
“Master, it’s me.”
“Wait a mininute.”
Upon hearing that it was Grandpa Bogarde, the housekeeper, Pereira quickly put the notebook and papers in the drawer.
“Grandpa Bogarde, haven’t you rested yet?”
As soon as I opened the door, I saw the housekeeper.
“Master Pereira, I saw that the light in your room is still on, so I came over to take a look. Master, can I have a few words with you?”
“Come in, Grandpa Bogarde.”
The old housekeeper walked into the room and looked at Pereira. “Master Pereira, I am an old man who has experienced three generations of masters. Among them, I am most optimistic about you, Master.”
As he spoke, the old butler touched his pocket and took out an envelope.
“Master, I don’t know what activities you are participating in, but I know that no matter what the activity is, it requires financial support. This is my intention, and I hope the master can accept it.”
“Grandpa Bogarde, how can I ask for your money? You still have to live, and there are a lot of people in the family who need to live.”
Facing the old butler’s envelope, Pereira waved his hand quickly. He knew the old butler’s situation. There were more than ten people in his family. The financial situation was relatively good but he definitely didn’t have much money left. How could he ask for an old man’s pension money? “
The old housekeeper smiled at what little Pereira said. “Master, most of this money was given by me, and only a fraction of it belongs to me. Although I have been quarreling with you during this time, it was just for the sake of the family. Although you made him unhappy, his favorite thing is still It’s you, young master, take it, this is not only my wish, but also the master’s wish. You will never let the two elders down.”
Well, for this reason, Pereira had no choice but to accept what the old housekeeper said.
The old butler who fulfilled his wish left, and Pereira opened the envelope. Inside was a check from a Swiss bank for US$501,000. It seemed that the change was given by the old butler.
At this time, Pereira was filled with emotion. Thinking of his father and the old housekeeper, tears filled his eyes.
