Chapter 197: People with different appearances

After leaving the two children, Zhang Yaming asked Armand to inquire about the specific situation of Jim and Baker's family. Armand is a local and is very familiar with the people in this town.

If he went to inquire, many things could be figured out.

According to general reasoning, if the male owner of this family is more diligent, even if he raises two boys, he would not be as embarrassed as living.

There should be other hidden secrets, or is there any difficulties in his family?

The agreed time has not yet come, and Zhang Yaming is still resting. Armand has already come back from inquiring about the news. As soon as he enters the door, he screams.

"Boss, guess what happened to Jim and Baker? And how could the two children's home be in a slum? The father of these two children has problems, and we probably know each other, guess who he is?"

Armand was a little excited because he didn't expect that the news he came back would be like this. The town is so small.

After going around, Jim and Baker's father actually knew him.

"Familiar person? I didn't expect who it was?"

Zhang Yaming was also a little surprised. In fact, he didn't come a lot in the town. Most of the time he was on Paradise Island. There seemed to be few people he was familiar with after counting.

Since there are not many people, who is the father of Jim and Baker?

♂et

"Boris McCormack, do you know that gangster? He often drinks in Dad Marcus's tavern. That gangster, yes, that guy, boss, do you still remember him?"

Armand was about to slap his beard and glared at him. He used to see Boris. He looked down on this gangster at all. If Marcus hadn't had it been easy to talk to, he would have forbidden to go to the tavern.

When Zhang Yaming heard Armand say this name, he was stunned for a moment and remembered that he had invited him to drink. It was probably the last time he was looking for news about Evangeline.

In the end, it seemed that Boris led him to the park, but he accidentally saved Michiko. He also saw that guy Kawada for the first time. Yes, it was that time that he invited Boris to drink.

Of course, there were several times later. Zhang Yaming had invited guests, but he didn't deal with him many times. After all, Boris' reputation was not very good.

Zhang Yaming was not too close to such a person. He didn't expect that he was the father of Jim and Baker?

This is really a bit surprising. I feel that Boris is not very old, and I have heard someone say that didn’t Boris live with his grandfather?

Why are two children and a wife appearing again? It’s a bit confusing between them?

"I have an impression of Boris. He has done a few things for me, but Jim and Baker are his children. This is surprising. Armand, are you sure you are not wrong?"

Zhang Yaming thought about it and asked a little uncertainly, if Boris was the father of the children, he had no formal profession and loved drinking very much, and occasionally did some stealing things.

Such a person will definitely not be able to take care of several children.

"Boss, please believe my investigation. I will not tell lies. Moreover, Boris's home is a bit complicated. I secretly found out if I said it, but I heard that Boris hates people talking about this."

"Those two children, Baker and Jim, don't seem to be his children. No, they were brought back by his grandfather, and later he was raising them and became their father!"

Armand didn't know how to describe it either. He asked for the news because it was told by others in a very obscure way, and said that this matter should not be brought up in front of Boris.

Because anyone who talks about this matter will turn against others.

Zhang Yaming was also confused. What does it mean to not be his child? Grandpa Boris received it, and he was raising them as their father?

"Oh, Armand, it's great for you to find out, but can you make it clear?"

Zhang Yaming rubbed his head, and he was confused. The life experiences of these two children seemed a bit complicated. He sometimes touched Boris and sometimes touched Boris' grandfather.

And isn't Boris a gangster? He is still the kind of person who is not clean and drunk, so how could he be Jim and Baker's father?

Armand might also feel that what he said was confusing, so he sat down, ordered a cup of coffee for himself, and then told Zhang Yaming little by little the news he had inquired about.

Boris' grandfather was older and in poor health, but he was such a person. He used to be a very famous captain. He was famous in the town when he was young.

In their area, there is a fishing boat of their own, with more than a dozen crew members on it. If you have better luck, your economic conditions will generally be very good.

However, with the development of the fishing industry, fishing boats are becoming more and more advanced, and the first batch of captains have made money, so more and more people borrow money to buy boats, while fewer and fewer valuable fish can be caught.

At that time, Boris' grandfather had a very large fishing boat, which was relatively advanced at the time. Seeing that his income in the past year was not high, he later planned to go to the Sea of ​​Death, which is the Sea of ​​Thunder with a lot of fish.

He planned to make some money and pay the sailors under his command so that they could have a good Christmas.

Although Boris' grandfather had heard all kinds of rumors about Lei Hai, he had never seen it with his own eyes, and he always had a hint of luck in his heart. Moreover, decades ago, not every ship that went to Lei Hai would encounter danger.

So Boris's grandfather, after thinking about it for a long time, finally couldn't make a choice, went to Lei Hai!

Everyone didn't know what was going on in Lei Hai, but they knew that after Boris' grandfather came back from Lei Hai, half of the crew members on the ship disappeared, and in the end he even sold his house and ship.

All the property he had saved up with great effort was sold that time, and then all the money was distributed to the missing sailors and those who had been fired by him.

And it was also in that accident that Boris's father also disappeared, and his grandfather's heartbroken body slowly collapsed, and soon his wife died of illness.

Only Boris and his grandfather were left to depend on each other.

But because his family is very poor, and Boris often takes leave no matter where he works. Because his grandfather is in poor health and needs care, he can't find a formal job at all.

He can only rely on doing odd jobs for people or hang out everywhere, so Boris' reputation is not very good in the town.

Just over ten years ago, Boris's grandfather went out and brought Baker and Jim back. Then the two children lived in Boris's house and said they were Boris' children.

In fact, Boris was also a child at that time, but later, although she married a wife, the two children still lived with him.

Although some people know that Jim and Baker are not his children, Boris hates people's words about this. Over time, few people mention Jim and Baker's origins.

Everyone is used to this matter. Many people who don’t know about it really think that Boris has two children, of course this is also related to some rumors in the town.

Some people say that Boris used to have a lover. He was the daughter of a boss in downtown Newcastle, but Boris did not like the girls' parents. So after the girl gave birth to the child, Boris's grandfather brought the child back.

Some people also say that Boris could not have his own children at all, so he adopted two children outside. Those two children should be the children of Grandpa Boris, and he should call them uncle...

Anyway, there are many rumors about these two children. Most of them are also some boring people, and they are the result of chatting and joking after drinking. No one knows the specific situation.

Armand used to look down on Boris and thought he was just a gangster with no prospects. Who would pay attention to this matter? After he inquired about Jim and Baker, he realized that these two children were Boris' two children!

When Zhang Yaming heard Armand's words, he was stunned for a long time. He used to look at people with tinted glasses, but he didn't expect Boris to be such a person. He thought this gangster was addicted to alcohol and stealing.

Now it seems that everyone can't just look at his bad side. No matter what, Boris can raise these two children and have such kind thoughts, so Boris's people will not be very bad either.

Even if he has a bad reputation in one kind or another, at least he has a good side, but people don’t notice it normally.

Time flies very quickly, and it seems that it has not been long. It is already five o'clock in the afternoon, and Zhang Yaming first arrives at a restaurant they have made an appointment.

The environment here is pretty good, with an open-air balcony with sea views, and a place for guests to rest and play, mainly for guests with children.

Zhang Yaming picked up this restaurant to make Jim and Baker have fun eating and having fun.

At around five o'clock, Boris came to this restaurant with his wife and two children a little uneasy. Fortunately, after seeing Zhang Yaming and Armand, his mood became more normal.

Boris doesn't look very old, about 20 or 30 years old, and because of his irreconcilable appearance, his appearance is actually a little older than actually.

He nodded at Zhang Yaming with some restraint: "I really didn't expect that the guest who came to my house today was Mr. Zhang. We met again. I'm really happy!"

"I didn't care much about the children's affairs. I think they just played a kid's game, but they didn't expect that such a result would end up?"

Boris was indeed very surprised. He naturally knew who Zhang Yaming was.

This is the person with the most popular and famous person in the small town of Panaret. For him, he is simply a person who can only admire and envy far away.

Unexpectedly, the two little bastards actually rescued Zhang Yaming by accident? Is this equivalent to a pie falling from the sky for him?

Can you take this opportunity to get what you want, or what you need the most?

At that moment, Boris was even a little lost in his heart.

"Thank you very much for your children. They saved me and allowed me to escape the disaster. I am very grateful in my heart, so I specially invite you to see if I can do my best to help you in the best of my ability!"

Zhang Yaming smiled and thought about some words in his heart. He tried to speak as tactfully as possible. The children were led by Michiko in the house to play, while Boris and his wife sat with Zhang Yaming, Armand and Lucien and talked.

Sure enough, Zhang Yaming mentioned help, which made Boris happy.

Seeing Boris' expression, Zhang Yaming remembered the news that Armand asked for. In fact, if it weren't for inquiring about Boris' specific situation in advance, Zhang Yaming would have decided that Boris was a gangster and was biased against him.

Since he can adopt two children and raise his grandfather and children without much work, this shows that Boris is responsible. Even if such a person has some shortcomings, it is understandable.

"Well, I'm wondering what your wishes you have, you can really tell them, or if you have any difficulties, I'm happy to help you!"

Hearing Zhang Yaming's affirmative words again, Boris turned his head, then looked at Jim and Baker, and then showed a very gentle smile on his face.

He seemed to have made up some kind of determination and pinched his wife's hand, and then he said a very honest sentence as if he had made up some kind of determination.

"My respectful sir, I know that my reputation is not very good. I am a gangster in the eyes of others. I don't have a formal job, but my wife, children, and my grandfather all love me very much, so I think I need a job."

"But I have to be able to take leave at any time for this job, because the children and grandpa are in poor health, and my wife will often get sick. This family needs my care..."

Boris said this carefully, and he was very nervous because based on his previous experience, he had taken more than ten offs in one month of work.

This made the boss who hired him very angry, so he fired him directly. Later, there were too many such things. In many small towns, there were almost no one willing to hire him.

Of course, he did not have various insurances and unemployment benefits, and he had an elderly man, two children, a sick wife, and he had to support himself.

Many times, he has to do something bad for money, and when he is particularly upset, he likes to drink. When he drinks, he sometimes causes some bad things.

For a person like him, no boss is willing to hire him.
