Chapter 3

Henry ran all over the neighborhood, only giraffe, a publishing house. No matter how far away, he had to take a ride to the center of the city. Henry had no money, so he couldn't go. As for contributions, there was neither postage nor money for copies, and Henry pondered as he walked along the road. Think about it, and finally come to a conclusion: that is to find a job first!

Working to earn money, and then copy the manuscript to the major publishing houses, I think there will be a good vision of the publishing house to their novels.

But what kind of job are you looking for? Henry was upset again. Henry wandered around the railway station in the afternoon, and finally got him a job, a job selling newspapers. It's a humble London tabloid called London entertainment, which gossip about all kinds of stars every day and sells thousands of them.

Henri got busy from then on. After finishing housework in the day, he went to sell newspapers and wrote novels in the evening. Since Henry talked back to Mrs. Rosa last time, Mrs. Rosa was a little more restrained, which made Henry have more free time. Peter's family also knew about Henry's novel writing. Naturally, Pulis told Peter the news.

Of course, Pulis certainly did not forget to show his attitude towards the novel - extremely childish and ridiculous!!!

So, Mrs. Rosa often satirized his novels in front of Henry, but Henry was lazy to pay attention to her and still went his own way.

Every day, looking at Henry's back carrying a small bag of newspaper, Mrs. Rosa always cursed and mocked: "you are such a bully, no one will like your novel!"

There are a lot of people around London Railway Station, but few people buy newspapers, especially such obscure tabloids. Henry broke his leg and broke his throat. He only sold more than 100 copies a day. For each newspaper, Henry only gets 0.01 pounds, which is equivalent to one pound a day. After more than 20 days of this life, Henry collected 20 or 30 pounds to copy three novels and contribute to three well-known publishing houses.

Waiting is the most painful day.

Every day, Henry checked the mailbox outside the door to see if there was a reply, but he was always disappointed. Either the mailbox was empty or there was a thick pile of rejected manuscripts. One of the times, a publisher returned the manuscript with a piece of paper, on which was written the advice to Henry: "please feel at ease to find a job, you are not fit to write a book and become rich in your life!" When Henry finished reading it, his face turned red! Nevertheless, Henry was rejected by eight publishers, but he did not give up.

Mrs. Rosa checks her mailbox every day, and sometimes she thinks that if a publisher sees Henry's novel, she can sell it for money. So, although Mrs. Rosa laughs at Henry every day, she also takes a chance. Whenever the mailman passes by, Mrs. Rosa always asks, "Hi, sir, is there any mail for our family today?"

But after a long time, there was no contract from any publisher, and Mrs. Rosa no longer had any hope, but she hated little Henry more and more. One night, Rosa said to Peter, "Peter, let's send Henry away. I can't stand him any more! He was so arrogant that he didn't pay any attention to me. He's an immature white eyed wolf

"Rosa, we signed the agreement..." Peter asked.

Rosa cried, "what is that! We can't afford two children. The law can't make us starve. Ask the lawyer if we can give the child to someone else to raise

"All right."

The next day, Peter went to ask the lawyer. Henry was kept in the dark and was looking forward to the press's reply. A week later, a guest came to the house.

"Sit down, Mr. will!" Rosa said excitedly. Peter brought Mr. will a drink.

Will looks like a successful man. He's about 30 years old. His hair is shiny and he's very energetic. His eyes were bright and smart.

"Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Williams. I'm a lawyer from American brothers law firm. Now I have full authority to sign the custody transfer agreement with you on behalf of Mr. Roger Nicholas. Here is the content of the agreement. Please have a look. If there is no problem, please sign it! " Will handed a document to the Peter and his wife.

When Peter and Rosa huddle together to read the agreement, Henry hides upstairs to eavesdrop on them. At this time, Henry's face was very ugly, because he felt that his self-esteem had been seriously hit, and he was sold around like goods. Henry clenched his fist, and his nails were in the flesh, bleeding. There was a burst of anger in my heart, but there was no place to vent it.

He knows that he may be "sold away" tonight!!!

A few minutes later, Peter and Rosa put down the document in ecstasy and said to will in a hurry: "there is no problem with the content of the agreement. We can sign it now!!" With that, Peter looked for a pen and was ready to sign his name. And the reason for the urgency was that they saw in the agreement that Roger Nicholas would pay them 5000 pounds.

Originally, Peter and his wife were going to throw away the burden, but they didn't expect to make a profit. Naturally, they couldn't help but be happy!!!

Both sides sign and shake hands. At this time, Peter was embarrassed and asked, "Mr. will, when will this... Money arrive?"

Will smiles and takes a check out of his clothes.

Peter's and rosaton's eyes brightened.

……

Henry tossed and turned in bed and couldn't sleep all night. It's disgusting to think of Peter and his wife's happy and greedy face after they signed. Maybe they're still awake, staring at the check and laughing. There was a touch of disdain and ridicule in Henry's mouth.

Tomorrow, tomorrow, where will I go tomorrow? Henry is in a daze!

At dawn, Rosa knocked on the door of the storage room.

"Henry, get up!" Rosa's voice today is not the same as usual, it seems very happy.

When Henry opened the door, Rosa was stunned, because she saw that Henry packed his luggage.

"Oh, it seems that you are quite conscious. Did you eavesdrop on us yesterday? "

"Ha ha, don't worry. We've found a very rich family for you. Don't forget your uncle's family when you are rich in the future!" Rosa said with a smile.

Henry didn't say a word. He followed her downstairs with a salute.

Lawyer will drove to Peter's house early and is now sitting in the living room drinking coffee. Seeing that Henry and Rosa came down, will stood up, went to Henry and helped him with the salute, and introduced himself: "Hello, Henry! I'm lawyer will! Your uncle has transferred your custody to Mr. Roger Nicholas. I'll take you to America today! "

"America?!" Henry was stunned. He didn't expect to be sold so far! Well, America is America

Without speaking, Henry followed will with his head down. Behind him, Henry vaguely heard the exultant laughter of Peter and his wife

San Francisco, USA.

Henry and will get off the plane and a Ford comes to them. Immediately, an old man with white hair came out. The old man looked very excited and looked at Henry with loving eyes. The old man stepped forward and hugged Henry hard, tears in his eyes.

"Little Henry, my poor grandson, my grandfather has finally met you!" The old man burst into tears.

Henry suddenly a muddle, oneself how suddenly had a grandfather?

When Henry was stunned, the old man told him the reason. It turned out that the old man was Henry's grandfather. When mother married her father, the old man was extremely opposed, and even declared that if she dared to marry Henry's father, the old man would not recognize her. As a result, after Henry's parents got married, his mother accompanied his father to live in England. There was only one daughter under the old man's knee. After a long time, he regretted what he had said.

And Henry's grandmother is a Chinese woman. No wonder she looks like a Chinese. She has black hair and yellow skin, but her eyes are blue.

Some time ago, the old man sent someone to inquire about Henry's parents, but he got the news that his daughter's family had died. The old man, with white hair and black hair, was more than ten years old with grief. Then he learned that his grandson was fostered in an extremely mean and greedy uncle's house, and the old man wanted to take his grandson to live with him all the time.

Now, I finally met my little grandson. The old man couldn't help but burst into tears!

Henry looked at the old man's snot and tears, which made him sad. At the same time, I also felt the old man's full love for him. I only felt the warmth of my heart. It was the warmest time since I passed through. Henry hugged the old man and comforted him: "don't cry, grandfather. Mother has gone. You and I will take care of you in the future."

The old man began to smile and hold Henry's hand: "yes, I have a good grandson. God hasn't abandoned me!"

Then they got into the car and drove for half an hour to a five or six hundred square meter European style villa. There is a big garage in the villa, in which there are three cars, including Ford, Rb Honda and Mercedes Benz. In front of the villa is a small garden, which is full of all kinds of flowers, behind the villa there is a small swimming pool. The interior decoration of the villa is not very luxurious, but very exquisite.

"Henry, grandfather will show you your new room!" The old man looked very happy. He took Henry's hand and said as he walked.

Push open the door, into the eye is a bright glass window, outside the green trees, sunlight such as mu. There is a separate bath room in the room, and there are all kinds of household equipment. The old man specially bought Henry an yadali game machine, which is placed next to the TV set, even the packing box has not been opened.

"Henry, do you like it here?"

"Yes!" Henry was very happy with the old man. Although the conditions here were not as good as the five-star hotel Henry had been used to in his previous life, the old man's heart was rare.

"If you like, you can live here in peace."

Henry nodded, settling down in America.

Later, Henry learned that his grandfather Roger Nicholas was the owner of a well-known Bookstore chain in California, with assets of more than 20 million US dollars and a total of 25 bookstores.

On the third day after Henry left England, a British publishing house intended to publish Henry's novel. When Rosa opened the mailbox, she suddenly found a package. After opening it, she found that it was a publishing contract. When rosaton was surprised, he made a phone call to Peter, and they could not help discussing the contract in the evening.

"I can't see that there are publishers who really like the novels of the bad luck star!" Rosa grinned with a sour tone.

"Yes, at the beginning, Pulis insisted that the novel was childish and ridiculous, and no publisher was willing to publish it. How are you now? Someone else has sent me the publication contract! " Peter has a grudge against Pulis.

"If you buy it out, you'll get 20000 pounds and a 8% royalty." Rosa said regretfully, "Oh, Peter, we've lost. We only got five thousand pounds and lost more! "

They both looked at the contract in a daze, with regret on their face.

"Rosa, we're going to tell Henry, is there a publisher willing to help him with his book?" Asked Peter.

Rosa screamed, "tell him, and then let him show off in front of us?"?!! Tear it! Tear up the contract! "

Hiss!!!!

Rosa is almost crazy. She tears the contract into pieces with both hands and then throws it on the ground like a peach blossom
