Chapter 23 Chapter Twelve

Fast forward to August.One day, Mr. Oikawa called and said in a very relaxed tone, let's have a meal together.After hesitating for a while, Yamamoto put the 300,000 yen that had been kept at home after he took it out into an envelope and put it in his arms.Kasai still didn't have a phone, as if everything was suspended in mid-air. After eating in a small restaurant, Oikawa invited Yamamoto to sit at home for a while. Oikawa poured Yamamoto a cup of tea and asked without raising his head, "Yamamoto-kun, has anything happened between you and Nozaki recently?" "Ah?" Yamamoto was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

"That's right, Manager Nozaki called last night." "...About me?" "No, I didn't directly say anything about you, but..." Oi Chuan showed a embarrassed look on his face, "He said, if you quit his company, I hope I won't cut off the business of the old people's home for him. Well, that's what it means." Yamamoto's body was shaking. "You said you were going to resign?" "No...but it's a fact that I...have a bad relationship with the manager." "That's it..." Oikawa sighed, his shoulders drooping.

A vortex of anger and anxiety rolled up in Yamamoto's heart: This kid Nozaki is really nothing!The 300,000 yen in my arms became heavy.Before being kicked out of the company, the 300,000 should be given to Jing Jiang as a surprise.However, this money is not his own labor income, this stolen money!Do you want to use this kind of stolen money in exchange for Jingjiang's favor? Oikawa remained silent all the time, Yamamoto wanted to get out of the embarrassment, and suddenly thought of a topic: "Mr. Oikawa, I heard that you are going to run for city councilor, is it true?" Oikawa smiled slightly: "Your news is good enough. I told those who pushed me out, you want to kill the old man? They advised me to only be one term, and wait for the next candidate to mature before retiring. Use me, politics is so dirty!"

"what do you mean……" "Absolutely not running for election. At this age, I don't want to lose the election and leave people as a laughing stock." After Oikawa finished speaking, he told Yamamoto some ridiculous insider stories about the election. It was past 9 o'clock, and Yamamoto got up to say goodbye.When he walked to the door, he took out an envelope from his pocket, and said to Mr. Oikawa, who gave it to him, "Please pass this to Jing Jiang. I saved it since I was released from prison, and I don't need it now." Yamamoto finally moved Kasai's money.

Oikawa pulled a large stack of bills out of the envelope, looked at Yamamoto in surprise, and silently counted the money. Time flies so slowly——Yamamoto shifted his eyes from Oikawa’s hand to other places as if to avoid something, and landed on a large envelope randomly thrown on the shoe shelf: “The Khabarovsk labor camp symposium ". "Khabarovsk labor camp? No, Oikawa and my father are both in the Sverdlovsk labor camp. How can I go to the symposium in the Khabarovsk labor camp? Nozaki's leaflet Uehara Kwantung Army 1st Class The article written by Bing also said that Oi Chuan was from the Khabarovsk labor camp. However, when Oi Chuan visited the prison, he clearly stated that he came to see me because he had stayed in the Sverdlovsk labor camp with his father. .What is going on here?"

"How did you get so much money?" Oikawa interrupted Yamamoto's reverie with a bit of surprise. "Ah... that... I saved it since I was released from prison." "Of course, you can't say too much about how much you give Jingjiang's mother and son, but then again, you just gave 150,000, and today you give 300,000. What will Jingjiang think?" I gave her so much money just to make her think about me——Yamamoto couldn't say it clearly, so he said the following words excitedly: "Please send it to her, please! I want to try my best to do something for Jingjiang, but other than that, I can't do anything, nothing!"

Yamamoto felt his chest was hot as he spoke.Yes, apart from giving money, there is no other way to tempt Jingjiang.Stolen money is money too, and Mr. Oikawa is no longer suspicious.As long as Jingjiang can look back at him, he will be willing to ask him to do anything. Oikawa reluctantly put away the money, and told Yamamoto not to be too forceful in the future.Yamamoto bowed deeply to Oikawa and left Oikawa's house.On the way home, he was in a state of disarray.What was Jingjiang's reaction after receiving the money? After spending Kasai's money, Shizue's smile, which was expanding every day in his mind, completely disappeared.
