Silicon Valley

Chapter 1: Uncle Peter 1

In the summer of 1984, there was a car accident in London. A large truck rammed into a car. The Williamses died on the spot. However, when the police arrived at the scene, they found that a ten-year-old boy was in his mother’s house. Survived miraculously under the protection...

   "Peter Williams?"

   "Yes, police officer, this is Peter Williams!"

"Oh, I'm very sorry, Mr. Williams, I have to tell you something very unfortunate!" Officer Charlie paused, shook his head slightly, and said to Peter in a pitying tone, "It happened in London yesterday afternoon. Car accident, your brother and sister-in-law were killed in this car accident..."

   Peter Williams has sunken eye sockets, his expression is very nervous, he has a strong smell of low-quality tobacco. On the way to the police station, he had obviously smoked a lot. He didn't know why the police officer told him to rush to the police station immediately. He thought, he didn't seem to have committed anything recently. How could he call himself to the police station for no reason? Peter felt uneasy. He forgot to change his clothes, so he hurried to the police station in light blue workshop overalls with a hint of oil. However, he did not expect that he would be told that his brother had been involved in a car accident. .

   "Oh, it's so unfortunate!!" Peter said with a look of shock, but at the same time secretly relieved, he finally knew why he was called to the police station.

   Peter is no longer as restrained as he had when he first arrived at the police station. His plump buttocks can't help but move on the chair to make himself more comfortable.

   Police Officer Charlie frowned. As a senior police officer with more than ten years of experience, he could easily find that Mr. Peter Williams in front of him didn't seem to be very sad after hearing the news of his brother's death. But in any case, Peter is still a relative of the victims. Officer Charlie said to Peter: "Fortunately, Serena Williams survived—Henry Williams, your brother’s son, who survived the car accident. Come down!"

   "Oh, this is a blessing in misfortune!" Peter said in surprise.

   "Yes. But the most admirable of them is Henry's mother!!" Police Officer Charlie said with emotion.

   "What's wrong with her?" Peter asked.

   "Mrs. Williams is so great, she saved her child with her body!"

   "Oh, so, she is indeed a great mother. However, she is an American Jew..." The corner of Peter's mouth suddenly rose, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

   Police Officer Charlie was a little surprised at Peter's performance, and shook his head secretly, giving him a very bad impression. Afterwards, Officer Charlie took out a document from the drawer and said: "Mr. Peter Williams, now Henry Williams Jr. is the only relative in existence. I don’t know if you are willing to raise him. Otherwise, we will He has to be sent to the orphanage!"

   Peter froze for a moment, and did not speak for a while.

   After a while, Peter hesitated and said with an embarrassment: "Oh, this... Mr. Officer, you know, I have a child to raise in my family, and the child’s mother does not have a job..."

  At this time, Officer Charlie interrupted him and said, "The best thing in the world is family affection! Mr. Williams, we can't give up family affection because of a little difficulty, can we?"

"Yes, Mr. Officer, you are right! However, I am not alone in this matter after all. You know, I have to discuss it with my wife Rosa! Oh, her full name is Rosa Bennett..." Peter Williams evaded.

"Of course, please discuss with your wife as soon as possible, and then inform us!" Police Officer Charlie shook his head secretly, and couldn't help worrying about the future fate of the little boy Henry Williams. His uncle did not seem very reliable. . Going to the orphanage, or going to his uncle Peter's house, neither seems to be a good place to go?

  ...

   In a somewhat dilapidated old house near the London railway station, Peter said to his wife Rosa: "Rosa, my brother's family had a car accident yesterday afternoon. My brother and aunt died almost instantly!!!"

   Rosa Bennett is thirty-five years old this year, three years older than her husband Peter. She is already fat, and she is wearing a large white skirt with cream and powder. The dress is fancy. When she heard the news from Peter, she was shocked: "Oh, this is really the most unfortunate news I have heard so far this year!"

   "Yes, Rosa. However, my nephew Henry Williams Jr. survived by chance. The police officer said, I want us to adopt him!"

"What!! Oh, damn, this is the saddest news I have heard this year!! How can that little guy live with us?!" Rosa screamed loudly, "Peter, I firmly disagree , The ten-year-old guy will drag us to death!!"

   "Going to school, shopping for clothes, eating...oh, when I think of this, I just want to die!!" Rosa suddenly said a lot of nerves.

   "Then... how do we reply to Officer Charlie?" Peter asked.

   "What else can I say? Of course I refused! Oh, yes, send little Henry to the orphanage..." Rosa Yang raised her hand and said loudly.

   The next morning, white fog covered the entire city. Peter and Rosa got up very early. After they had breakfast, they couldn't wait to rush to the police station. After all, one thing is always uncomfortable in their hearts, and the sooner they are resolved, the better.

   At this time, Police Officer Charlie had not rushed to the police station. The one who received the Peter and his wife was a young police officer who had just hired. After a few greetings, the young police officer learned that the two of them were the family members of the car accident the day before.

   "Mr. Williams, your complexion doesn't seem very good."

   "Oh, it's okay, it's just that I didn't rest well last night."

The young police officer comforted: "Mr. Williams, no one can expect this kind of thing. The deceased has passed away and the living is sad. Please take care of your body. I express my deep sympathy for your brother's family. However, Please rest assured that British law is fair and just, and criminals will definitely be punished. The truck driver caused a car accident because of drunk driving, and the judge must award him at least 100,000 pounds in compensation!"

   One hundred thousand pounds! !

   Hearing the words, Peter and Rosa couldn't help but swallowed their saliva, looked at each other, their eyes flashed with fiery greed.

   "Yes, that **** truck driver must be severely punished!!" Rosa suddenly changed her face and showed her indignation in front of the young police officer.

   "Yes, it must be severely punished!!" Peter also gritted his teeth, and yelled sharply.

   At this time, Officer Charlie came from outside. When Peter saw him, he immediately changed into a flattering look, and stepped forward to say hello: "Inspector Charlie, hello!!"

   "Oh, Mr. Williams, you came really early!" Officer Charlie looked at his watch and said, "It's a quarter to eight..."

   "Oh, sir, police officer, because I was very worried about my nephew, so I came a little earlier."

   "Huh?!" "Are you thinking about adopting Henry?" Charlie was a little surprised by Peter's attitude, you know, he didn't want to adopt his little nephew yesterday.

"Of course! I am his uncle, and the only legal guardian!!" Peter said, and deliberately emphasized the sentence "the only legal", the implication is that no one else has the right to adopt except him. Henry Williams.

  Charlie frowned slightly, and he was puzzled. He didn't know what caused Peter's attitude to change so quickly, for fear that others would steal his adoption right! !

   "Mr. Peter Williams, are you sure you want to adopt Henry Williams?" Charlie asked solemnly.

   "Yes, I'm sure!!" Peter said loudly.

  Charlie nodded and said, "Well, I'll take you to go through the formalities."

   An hour later, Peter and Rosa returned home. With a "bang" the door closed, the two immediately began to shout.

   "One hundred thousand pounds, oh my god, I have never seen so much money!!" Rosa danced excitedly.

   "Haha, yes, my dear, we are about to have one hundred thousand pounds!!" Peter laughed and couldn't help taking out his collection of red wine, "Come on, let us toast one hundred thousand pounds!!"

   "Cheers to one hundred thousand pounds!!"

   The day after the adoption procedures were handled, the Peter family rushed to take Henry into the house.

   In the subsequent lawsuits, Peter and Rosa attended the court several times, and they insisted that the plaintiff’s truck driver must pay at least 100,000 pounds, otherwise they would not give up! !

   But before the verdict came down, Rosa and Peter had already started spending money lavishly. Rosa bought an expensive dress, Peter bought a watch from the German Baume & Mercier brand, Rosa also bought an Atari game console for his son Peter. Little Peter’s name is exactly the same as his father, also called Peter Williams, who has just turned 8 this year.

   It seems that overnight, the Peter family became rich and began to enjoy the life of a rich man.

   "Hi, Peter, you are rich, and you actually bought a German celebrity watch!"

   "Oh, Mrs. Williams, this outfit on you is so beautiful. After putting it on, it feels like... Oh, like an aristocratic woman in England!"

   Whenever they heard these compliments, Peter and Rosa couldn't help but become proud of themselves, and their sense of vanity was very satisfied.

   However, until one day, Police Officer Charlie came over and knocked on the door of Peter's house, and Peter and Rosa suddenly fell from the clouds to prison.

   "Mr. Williams, the judge has sentenced the truck driver."

   "Is that so great!!" Peter exclaimed. UU reading www. uukanshu.com

And at this moment, Rosa Bennett, who was sitting on the sofa leisurely licking sunflower seeds, suddenly heard the news, stood up immediately, and walked forward in three and two steps, looking very excited and asked: "Mr. Police Officer , Has the judge awarded him 100,000 pounds in compensation!!"

   "Sorry, ma'am, the judge didn't judge that way..."

   "How is it possible?!" Rosa yelled, with a very dissatisfied expression on her face, "Mr. Officer, we disagree with the other verdicts except for the compensation of 100,000 pounds!!"

   "Mrs. Williams, I think this is impossible."

   "Why is it impossible? A young policeman in the police station said that at least one hundred thousand pounds can be paid to us!!" Rosa screamed.

   "Oh, sorry, ma'am, that young policeman is a temporary worker..." "Uh, you know, temporary workers generally don't understand British laws!"

   The faces of the Williams and his wife changed in vain, astonished, excited, and crazily, even more gloomy than the thunderstorm in London. Charlie couldn't help but shook his head secretly, and said to the two of them: "Besides, even if the judge sentenced the truck driver to pay you 100,000 pounds, he would not be able to pay it! Because... that truck driver is a downright poor man, his bank card There is not a penny in it, and he even owes more than one thousand pounds to the bank. How can he compensate you with one hundred thousand pounds?"

   After hearing the news, Peter and Rosa were completely dizzy and their heads went blank! ! (Various requests for new books, recommendations at no cost, collections at no cost and your wise comments!)
