Chapter 1

In the summer of 1984, there was a car accident in London. A large truck hit a car, and Williams and his wife died on the spot. However, when the police arrived at the scene, they found that a 10-year-old boy miraculously survived under the protection of his mother

"Peter Williams?"

"Yes, officer, I'm 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 pitiful tone, "there was a car accident in London yesterday afternoon, in which your brother and sister-in-law were killed..."

Peter Williams had sunken eyes, a nervous look and a strong smell of bad tobacco. On the way to the police station, he obviously smoked a lot. He didn't know why the police officer told him to come 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 was so worried that he forgot to put on his clothes and came to the police station in a hurry wearing a light blue, slightly worn workshop uniform with an oil smell. However, he was told that his brother had a car accident.

"Oh, it's so unfortunate!" Peter said with a look of shock and a sigh of relief. He finally knew why he was called to the police station.

Peter is no longer as restrained as he was when he first came to the police station. His fat buttocks move on the chair to make himself more comfortable.

As a senior police officer who has been working for more than ten years, he can easily find that Mr. Peter Williams is not very sad after hearing the news of his brother's death. But anyway, Peter is still a relative of the victims. Officer Charlie said to Peter, "fortunately, little Williams survived - Henry Williams, your brother's son, survived the car accident!"

"Oh, what a blessing in misfortune!" Peter was surprised.

"Yes. But the most admirable one is little Henry's mother Officer Charlie sighed.

"What happened to her?" Asked Peter.

"Mrs. Williams is so great. She saved her child with her own body!"

"Oh, so she is a great mother. But she's an American Jew... "Peter's voice was ironic.

Officer Charlie was a little surprised at Peter's performance. He shook his head in his heart and had a bad impression on him. Then officer Charlie took out a document from the drawer and said, "Mr. Peter Williams, you are the only relative of little Henry Williams now. I don't know if you are willing to raise him. Otherwise, we'll have to send him to the orphanage! "

Peter was stunned and speechless.

After a while, Peter hesitated and said, "Oh, well... Officer, you know, I have a child to raise at home, and the mother of the child has no job..."

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

"Yes, sir, you are right! However, I'm not the only one to decide this matter. You know, I have to discuss it with my wife Rosa! Oh, her full name is Rosa Bennett... "Peter Williams said.

"Of course, please consult with your wife as soon as possible, and then let us know!" Officer Charlie shook his head in his heart. He couldn't help worrying about the fate of little boy Henry Williams. His uncle didn't look very reliable. Going to an orphanage, or to his Uncle Peter's, doesn't seem like a good place to go?

……

In a dilapidated old house near London Railway Station, Peter said to his wife Rosa, "Rosa, my brother's family had a car accident yesterday afternoon. My brother and aunt almost died on the spot!"

Rosa Bennett is thirty-five years old, three years older than her husband Peter. She is already fat. She is wearing a large white skirt and is well dressed. When she heard the news from Peter, she was shocked: "Oh, this is the most unfortunate news I've heard so far this year!"

"Yes, Rosa. But my nephew, little Henry Williams, survived, and the officer said, "I want us to adopt him!"

"What!!! Oh, damn, that's the most unfortunate news I've heard this year!!! How can that little guy live with us Rosa screamed, "Peter, I strongly disagree. Ten year olds will drag us to death!"

"Go to school, buy clothes, eat... Oh, when I think of these, I just want to die!" Rosa suddenly said a lot nervously.

"So... How do we respond to officer Charlie?" Asked Peter.

"What else can I say? Of course, it's a direct refusal!!! Oh, by the way, take little Henry to the orphanage... "Rosayan raised her hand and said aloud.

The next morning, the white fog covered the whole city. Peter and Rosa get up very early. After breakfast, they can't wait to go to the police station. After all, it's hard to keep a thing in mind. The sooner it's settled, the better.

At this time, officer Charlie had not arrived at the police station, and the couple were received by a young new officer. After a few words of greetings, the young police officer learned that the couple were the family members of the car accident the day before yesterday.

"You don't look very well, Mr. Williams."

"Oh, it's OK. I just didn't have a good rest last night."

The young police officer comforted: "Mr. Williams, no one can expect this kind of thing. The dead are dead and the living are sad. Please take good care of yourself. I feel deeply for your brother's family. However, please rest assured that British law is fair and just, and criminals will be punished. The driver of the lorry was involved in an accident because of drunk driving. Your honor will have to pay him at least 100000 pounds for it! "

100000 pounds!!!

Smell speech, Peter and Rosa two people can't help but swallow saliva, each other looking at each other, eyes are flashing hot greedy color.

"Yes, that damned 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 was also gnashing his teeth and yelling.

At this moment, officer Charlie came from the outside. When Peter saw him, he immediately put on a flattering look, stepped forward and said, "Hello, officer Charlie!"

"Oh, Mr. Williams, you are so early!" Officer Charlie looked at his watch and said, "it's a quarter to eight..."

"Oh, officer, I'm a little early because I'm very worried about my nephew."

"Huh?"“ Have you thought about adopting little 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'm his uncle, and I'm the only legal guardian of him! " Peter said, and deliberately emphasized a "only legal", which means that no one else has the right to adopt Henry Williams except him.

Charlie frowned slightly. He was puzzled. He didn't know what made Peter's attitude change so fast that he was afraid that other people might rob him of his adoption right!!!

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

"Yes, I'm sure!" Cried Peter.

Charlie nodded and said, "well, I'll take you through the formalities."

An hour later, Peter and Rosa came home. As the door of "bang" closed, the two men began to shout immediately.

"100000 pounds, oh my God, I've never seen so much money before!" Rosa danced excitedly.

"Haha, yes, dear, we are going to have 100000 pounds!" Peter burst out laughing and couldn't help taking out his precious red wine. "Here, let's drink to 100000 pounds!"

"To 100000!"

The day after the adoption, the Peter family rushed little Henry home.

In the subsequent lawsuit, Peter and Rosa attended the court several times and insisted that the plaintiff's truck driver should pay at least 100000 pounds, otherwise they would never give up!!!

But before the verdict, Rosa and Peter have already started to spend a lot of money. Rosa bought an expensive skirt, Peter bought a watch of famous German brand, Rosa also bought an Atari game machine for her son Peter. Peter as like as two peas, his father is Peter Williams. He is just 8 years old.

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

"Hi, Peter, you've made a fortune and bought a famous German watch!"

"Oh, Mrs. Williams, this dress is so beautiful on you. When you put it on, it feels like... Oh, it's like a noble woman in England!"

Peter and Rosa can't help but feel complacent and satisfied with their vanity when they hear these praise.

However, until one day, officer Charlie came and knocked on Peter's door, Peter and rosaton fell from the cloud to hell.

"Mr. Williams, the judge has ruled on the truck driver."

"Yeah, that's great!" Peter was overjoyed.

But at this time, Rosa Bennett, who was sitting on the sofa and eating melon seeds leisurely, suddenly heard the news, stood up immediately, walked forward three and two steps, looked very excited and asked: "Mr. officer, has the judge awarded him 100000 pounds for compensation?"

"I'm sorry, ma'am, the judge didn't say that..."

"How can it be?" Rosa yelled, with a very dissatisfied expression on her face. "Sir, we don't agree with any other sentence except for the compensation of 100000 pounds!"

"I don't think that's possible, Mrs. Williams."

"Why not? A young policeman in the police station said that he could compensate us at least 100000 pounds! " Rosa screamed.

"Oh, I'm sorry, ma'am, that young policeman is a temporary worker..." "well, you know, temporary workers generally don't know much about English law!"

The Williams' faces changed in vain. They were shocked, excited and crazy. They were more gloomy than the thunderstorms in London. Charlie couldn't help shaking his head and explaining to them: "besides, even if the judge ordered the truck driver to pay you 100000 pounds, he can't pay it! Because... The truck driver is a complete pauper. He has no money on his bank card and even owes the bank more than 1000 pounds. How can he compensate you 100000 pounds? "

After hearing the news, Peter and Rosa are completely dizzy, and their heads are blank（ All kinds of new books, free recommendation, free collection and your wise comments!)
