Father Mavie

Chapter 22 Miss Maggie's Choice

"It's good to be removed! It just so happens that I can join a bigger church!"

In the living room, Mrs. Maggie hugged the sobbing Pippi tightly, and shouted loudly: "What truth, it's just some tricks!"

Jacob clenched his fists and glared at her, his teeth clenching.

at this time
Suddenly a man's hoarse voice came from upstairs.

"Maggie, who are you arguing with?"

Accompanied by the creaking of the stairs, a man in a neat suit walked into the living room, with a well-tailored vest and shirt gently attached to his body, and his delicate mustache was slightly curly, making him look like he was walking on the streets of a rich area gentleman.

"Gilbert, it's none of your business!" cried Mrs. Maggie.

The man named Gilbert scanned the living room, finally his eyes fell on Pippi, and he suddenly grinned: "Even if you don't say it, I can almost hear it upstairs Maggie, this is just a dog, there is no need Because of it causing such a big conflict with the neighbors, I have advised you before not to keep it by your side."

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Jacob, my humble Gilbert Wilkin, brother of Maggie's late husband."

Gilbert reached out his hand and shook Jacob's hand: "Actually, I have always supported you. As a pioneer on the road of love, you are very respectable."

"Ah, thank you."

Jacob, who didn't understand the situation, nodded. He was in a mess and couldn't say anything.

"This is my business card. If there is a chance, we can cooperate."

Gilbert handed out business cards to everyone in the living room, and even Junia got one.

[Ross Marine Ltd., Gilbert Wilkin, 72 Ross Avenue]

A simple business card has only the company name, name and mailing address on it, but no other information.

but.
Mavi has heard of Ross Sea Industry, a company that has cooperated with Gray Wolf Dino. After the announcement of the Naval War Declaration three years ago, merchant ships from all over the world without the threat of privateers ushered in a golden age. From the water, Ross Marine is also one of the beneficiaries.

If it was placed three years ago, once this kind of fat sheep was targeted by privateers, it would definitely not be able to escape.

After putting away their business cards, Ma Wei and the others left Mrs. Maggie's house, the negotiation broke down, and there was no need for them to stay.

Back at the door, Jacob's face was gloomy, his cheeks were twitching constantly, obviously extremely angry.

"Father, what shall we do now?"

He asked: "That bitch Maggie abused Pippi! We have to find a way."

"I do have a solution."

"Really?!" Jacob's eyes suddenly brightened: "What can I do? Father, tell me quickly!"

"In the final analysis, Mrs. Maggie is unwilling to give up Pippi because of her interests."

Mavie took off her hat, dusted off it, and put it on again: "For her, Pippi is an excellent tool to get in touch with the upper class. Miss Maggie, who has lost her husband, wants to stop worrying about the rest of her life." , you need to find a reliable husband, obviously, she has set her mind on those gentry and nobles."

"You're right." Jacob said deeply, "She really thinks so, and everyone in South Street knows how careful she is! She dresses up every night because of her beauty. If there is any noble lord who thinks of her, she will definitely be blind!"

"speak up"

Suddenly, Ma Wei remembered the newspaper he read at noon: "I read in the newspaper that Mrs. Maggie is currently recruiting tenants. Wasn't there a man living in her house before?"

"You mean the pharmacist Giuseppe Dias!" Jacob replied, "He did rent at Maggie Chris's house before, but just yesterday, Maggie Chris Si didn't know what kind of madness she had, but she kicked her out! It's a big joke, you know Giuseppe Pharmacist has never paid the rent late, where can I find such a good tenant!"

"Well, let's get back to the point. My method is very simple. Since Maggie Chris wants to rely on Pippi to get acquainted with nobles and gentry, then we might as well take advantage of this and bring a well-trained pet to the ball , promote it vigorously, and after attracting the attention of nobles and gentry, use it to exchange with Madam Maggie. This is called using magic to defeat magic, Xiao Hei is very suitable, I think one can backflip and jump Cats who can tango and sing meow songs must be more popular than Pippi."

"Oh I thought you were talking about something"

Jacob lowered his head and sighed, "I'm different from Maggie Chriss. I have no identity and no background. I'm just a brewery worker in a small workshop. I can't even enter the gate of the ball. How can I sell it? "

"You can't get in, someone can get in."

"Huh?" Jacob raised his head abruptly: "Father, what do you mean?"

"I know a friend, he can enter the ball of the upper class, as for Xiao Hei, I think it will agree, three cans of fish will solve it, as a believer in the truth, it will be happy to save lives in the water and fire, right? Blackie?"

Xiao Hei opened his mouth wide and looked at his master in shock, his brain had completely shut down.

"Father."

Jacob looked at the man in front of him with some emotion, and said incoherently, "I'm just an ordinary worker, and I can't create any value for the church. Why are you?"

"People, you must keep your promises."

Ma Wei blew the whistle to attract a carriage: "You have proved that you and Miss Maggie are in love with each other, so I, who accept this entrustment, have the responsibility to clear the obstacles for you. This is my principle. Value is irrelevant, and"

Ma Wei hugged Junia into the carriage, sat down firmly and said: "Mr. Jacob, you really should stop drinking. Please don't forget the oath you made in the church. People who break their oath at will cannot be trusted." of."

In the cold wind, Jacob stared blankly at the receding figure in the carriage, suddenly took off his soft hat, pressed it firmly on his chest, and bowed deeply:

"From now on, I, Jacob Valentine, will not drink at all. Truth first."

"Dad, why did Pippi choose Mr. Jacob instead of Mrs. Maggie?"

On the carriage heading to Rose Avenue, Junia questioned: "Mrs. Maggie is obviously its owner."

"The master is not necessarily good, just like some people are not worthy of being parents."

While stroking Xiao Hei, Ma Wei said: "In the eyes of Mrs. Maggie, Pippi is a dog, and it is just a dog. It has a clear distinction from its owner, but in the eyes of Mr. Jacob, Pippi is not a dog." It's just a dog, he respects each other, loves each other, and is willing to treat each other as an equal to himself, this is the last straw that overwhelms Pippi."

"After seeing the light, you can no longer tolerate the darkness."
