PFC Chapter 133 Accident
Chapter 133 Accident
Whether when she was acting as "Rong Xintong" or now, Tong Jia believed that as long as Tao Junle promised her something, he would never break his promise.
According to the note in the RV, Tao Junle should go in there every night.
Why didn’t you go in last night?
She was worried that some uncontrollable accident had occurred on Tao Junle's side, but no matter how worried she was, she couldn't get in touch with him, and there wasn't even a verification channel.
Tong Jia was so anxious that she had to wait in the RV, but Tao Junle never showed up.
At this time, Tao Junle had indeed encountered an unexpected change.
Tao Junle's mother is from Xingcheng, and the whole family lives in Xingcheng. This country does not exclude Chinese people now, so he and his father live here quite happily.
However, Tao Junle's father's job was reassigned to Java, so the three of them packed up and headed from Star City to Java.
The two places are very close to each other, and it will not take more than two hours to travel by boat or plane.
Therefore, he did not write down this matter specifically to tell Tong Jia.
However, just as the ship they were on arrived in Java, something unexpected happened.
Because the Javanese government has just issued "Presidential Decree No. 10", which stipulates that foreigners are not allowed to engage in retail industry in counties and below, this has greatly affected the livelihoods of people outside Java, especially Chinese.
Tao Junle's father also knew about this decree, but according to his understanding, this decree only targeted people who did small businesses in the countryside, which was different from people like him who were sent by the company.
In particular, Presidential Order No. 10 specifically states: "This provision does not mean that the relevant foreigners should leave their place of residence unless the local wartime authorities make such a decision based on security conditions."
After studying the laws clearly, he left Star City with his wife and children and went to Java to take up his post.
But unfortunately, although laws are laws and statements are statements, many local officials directly implemented a "one-size-fits-all" approach when actually enforcing them. They not only forced many foreigners, of course the vast majority of overseas Chinese, to close their businesses, but also drove people out of their administrative areas.
This has displaced many people.
In order to find a place to settle down, most of them wait at docks, airports, etc., hoping to use all their wealth to buy tickets to leave Java.
But because of their identity issues, buying tickets became a big problem for them.
In order to leave, some people began to rush to board ships when they arrived. If they met a soft-hearted Javanese captain, he would turn a blind eye and these people could escape.
Ever since someone succeeded, there have been people waiting at the dock almost every day, ready to rush onto the ship as soon as it docks.
Unfortunately, Tao Junle and his family ran into such a group of people when they got off the boat.
Without waiting for the people on the boat to get off, the group of people rushed onto the boat, hoping that the boat could take them to Star City to make a living.
However, the distance from Star City to Java is very short, and the ships that only travel between the two places will naturally not be very large, and their carrying capacity cannot be compared with those ships that went to more distant countries.
In just a few minutes, the number of people on board exceeded the maximum load capacity of the ship, and the entire ship could no longer maintain balance.
At this time, the evil of human nature was fully demonstrated.
In order to save their own lives, those who rushed onto the boat began to push the passengers on the boat into the sea.
After a few "plop~plop~" sounds, the people who were pushed down were all women and children. It can be seen that these people are bullies who only bully the weak and fear the strong, and they dare not attack strong men at all.
Tao Junle's mother was among those pushed down. When Tao Junle's father saw this, he immediately jumped down to save her.
But there were many people underwater, and everyone regarded Tao Junle's father as a life-saving straw. Anyone who could reach him held on to him tightly and refused to let go, which in turn pushed Tao Junle's mother further and further away.
Tao Junle put all the luggage in the house into the RV and then jumped in.
At this time, the Javanese government also responded and sent a law enforcement team to solve the problem.
Although Tao Junle's mother choked on water, she was fortunately rescued in time. She was in a coma in the hospital for an entire afternoon and finally regained consciousness in the evening.
Instead, it was Tao Junle's father who went down to rescue people and choked on the most water among everyone because he was pulled into the water by so many people.
He was sent to the hospital and was rescued for a long time. Finally, half an hour after Tao Junle's mother woke up, the hospital announced the bad news that the rescue was ineffective.
Tao Junle lost both his parents very early in his previous life, so he cherishes the time he spends with them in this life.
Originally, he was still fantasizing about waiting to meet Tong Jia, confessing his feelings to her, and then taking her to meet his parents, and seeing his parents’ happy faces.
just now……
My father passed away. Although my mother woke up, her lungs were damaged by the fall into the water. She will need at least half a month to recover.
Since his mother needs to stay in the hospital for treatment, he will have to take full responsibility for his father's funeral arrangements.
His father had expressed to him many times that he wanted to return to his roots, so he must want to go back to his motherland.
After kneeling in front of his father's body for a whole night, he was ready to discuss his father's funeral arrangements with his mother.
Who knew that as soon as I entered the ward, I saw a huge glass needle inserted into my mother's brachial artery, and my mother had already stopped breathing.
He quickly shouted for help from doctors and nurses, but unfortunately, he could not be saved.
When the attending doctor came out of the emergency room, he handed him a letter, saying that it was found on his mother.
Tao Junle suppressed his grief and opened the letter.
The first thing he said was his mother's apology to him.
The letter said: She could not accept her future life without Tao Junle's father. She felt that even breathing would be painful without Tao Junle's father, so she selfishly chose to follow Tao Junle's father.
After apologizing to his son again, he wrote down all the family assets to Tao Junle one by one.
Finally, she hoped that Tao Junle could cremate her and her father's bodies, and then bring the ashes back to China and bury them in Tao Junle's father's hometown.
This last point is exactly what Tao Junle thought.
However, he had previously thought of taking his mother back to China to live, but she actually...
It was impossible to say that he had no resentment in his heart, but things had come to this point and he didn't want to blame anyone anymore.
He put the letter from his mother in his shirt pocket and contacted his parents' attending physician to inquire about the cremation procedure.
This question made his head even bigger.
There are many different ethnic groups in Java, and their funeral ceremonies vary, but burial is popular among most people.
Cremation does exist, but it is a minority and is basically carried out within the ethnic group. There is no crematorium.
But he is not a native of Java and is a minor, so he cannot go through many procedures.
I could only find a phone and contact Tao Junle’s father’s company in Xingcheng, hoping that they could send someone to help deal with it.
After receiving Tao Junle's call, the people from Xingcheng agreed to send someone to help deal with the matter. However, given the previous experience of Tao Junle's father, no one in the company dared to come directly to Java. They could only call the people from the Java branch to come and help deal with the matter.
Fortunately, the person sent by the company to help deal with the funeral of Tao Junle's parents was from Bari.
The Bali people are a group that practices cremation in Java, and they can help with the cremation ceremony for Tao Junle's parents.
However, the cremation ceremony of the Bari people is very grand, and wooden cows and cremation towers must be prepared.
Tao Junle couldn't find these things for the time being, so he had to pay him to help buy them.
But he didn't have much Javanese rupees on him. His father did have some, but after being sent for emergency treatment, Tao Junle couldn't even find the clothes his father was wearing, let alone the money.
My mother's handbag also fell into the sea when she was pushed off the boat, and the chances of finding it are very slim.
He had no choice but to seek help from Nyoman, who was sent by his father's company to assist him. When Nyoman found out, he looked at him with a rather amused look and asked, "You don't have rupees on you, do you have any Sri Lankan currency?"
The Lat currency is used in Star City, and the exchange rate with the Javanese rupiah is approximately 1:8.96.
You can also exchange it for Singapore Dollars by going to the bank.
Tao Junle nodded and immediately asked Nyoman to take him to the bank.
But Nyoman shook his head and said, "You are not a Javanese. The Javanese government has taken over many factories and shops owned by foreigners in Java. If you take your money to the bank, not only will you not be able to exchange it for rupiah, but your Latvian currency may also be confiscated."
Tao Junle clenched his fists, feeling humiliated as if he had been bullied but was powerless to fight back.
But he was just an individual and it was impossible for him to go against the entire Javanese government.
He could only grasp Nyoman as a lifeline and begged, "I'll give you some Sri Lankan currency, can you help me exchange it for rupees?
I won't ask you to help me for nothing. 500 Singapore dollars, I only want 4,000, and the remaining 480 will be yours, okay?"
Nyoman rolled his eyes and said, "Banks here have a daily limit on the amount of foreign currency you can exchange for rupees. The amount you can exchange in a day cannot exceed 3,000.
The cost of all the ceremonies, supplies, and labor for both your parents will be at least nine thousand three.
Of course, Star City will pay for your food and accommodation.
As for the funeral expenses, the company can bear the cost of your father, but your mother is not an employee of the company, so you have to bear the expenses yourself.
So, you only need to bear four thousand six hundred and five.
But the exchange takes two days, no, three days.
It’s too late today, the bank has closed, so we can only wait until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow to complete the exchange, and then deal with your parents’ affairs the day after tomorrow.
Okay, now give me the money.
I'll take you to the accommodation arranged by the company. After I've exchanged the money, I'll take you to the hospital to handle the formalities...
Oh, by the way, the hospital’s treatment fees and preservation fees also need to be paid.
Similarly, your father's expenses will be covered by the company, while your mother's expenses will be paid by herself.
I need to discuss with the hospital how much this fee is."
After saying that, he walked straight to the doctor's office without caring whether Tao Junle followed him or not.
Ten minutes later, he came out of the doctor's office holding a piece of paper, handed it to Tao Junle, and said, "This is all the expenses your mother incurred in the hospital.
You know the exchange rate, and you can give me the money I need when the time comes.
Remember to deduct the tip you promised me.
Also, because the amount of money has increased, the exchange time will have to be extended by two days, so..."
“I know that the ceremony will also be postponed.
No matter how many ceremonies and procedures you have for cremation, I have only one request: give me my parents' ashes after the ceremony.
I won't be going to the place prepared by the company today. I will stay here to stay with my mother all night.
Tomorrow, come and pick me up again, and I will give you the money then.
"What's wrong? Didn't you say the bank stopped exchanging money today? I can't exchange the money even if I give it to you. I might as well give it to you tomorrow." Tao Junle could accept Nyoman's impartiality, but he couldn't accept the condescending and bossy tone in his words.
It directly interrupted his plans for the next few days and let him know that he was not easy to bully just because he was young.
Sure enough, after hearing what he said, Nyoman was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted, gave Tao Junle a look, and left the hospital.
Tao Junle, who had been guarding his father all night last night, did not feel sleepy at all. Not only was he not sleepy, but his mind was even unusually clear.
While he was keeping vigil for his mother, he was thinking about every step he should take next.
His mother had an accident, so logically, he should have called his mother's parents' home.
But my grandfather's current wife is not his biological grandmother. When he called my father's company, he also called my grandfather's house. Obviously, someone heard him talking and hung up the phone.
In this way, there is actually no need for him to return to Star City.
Especially after knowing that Tong Jia was in China, he was sure to return to China.
At this moment, he remembered that in the novel that he cherished as a treasure in his previous life and copied and recited many times, there seemed to be a mention of a Chinese overseas child named Tao.
When he was reading the book, he studied every character in the novel thoroughly because he didn't know what his name would be in his next life.
But unexpectedly, he turned out to be the unjust overseas Chinese child who was mentioned briefly in the novel and provided the start-up capital for the male lead and the second female lead.
The novel says that after his parents died, he was stranded in a Southeast Asian country for more than two months due to some political reasons, and later he came to China on an evacuation ship.
But he had no relatives in China and his identity was very sensitive. He tried many times to leave China and go to Star City or the United States, but was rejected every time.
Even before the chaos, he had begun to receive special treatment.
It was the male lead in the novel who secretly applied medicine to him, and the female lead who secretly brought him food.
Although he did not survive in the end, he was very grateful for the help of these two people, so he gave the property that his mother had asked him to leave to him before her death to them.
The property of Star City was given to the male lead, and the assets of the beautiful country were given to the female lead.
The two of them relied on the assets he gave them and became the richest people after the chaos passed.
But apart from their business war, these two people were in love, and neither of them built a tomb for him and his parents as agreed.
When it was almost dawn, Tao Junle thought to himself that as long as he had Tong Jia and the RV in his life, the assets left by his parents would definitely not fall into the hands of those two ungrateful people.
