Chapter 149 Quarrel
Leove is a good woman. When Joseph saw her hut, Leove and the Hispanic homeowner had already helped him clean up. This was something that Leove didn't need to do, but... so Joseph's favor for her increased a little more.
What is certain is that Leowei is definitely not doing this because of her identity. It can be seen that this is her habit and she has always known how to take care of others.
"Can you tell me your identity?"
A plate of side dishes, a few pieces of bread, a glass of red wine, this is the dinner for Joseph and Leovi, but neither of them were paying attention to the dinner. Joseph hesitated and asked his inner doubts.
"I originally thought you could endure it for a while, but I didn't expect to lose to your own curiosity so quickly."
Leovey chuckled and teased Joseph, but from her words, it can be seen that she was not ready to hide her identity all the time, but just waiting for Joseph's words.
"My father was a nobleman of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. After the end of World War I, he went into exile to Germany. At that time, you should know that... He married a daughter of a German Junker nobleman, a very beautiful and kind woman."
"She is your mother?"
Leowei nodded and felt sad in her eyes: "It's a pity that she died too early. I have forgotten her appearance even though she left me a lot of things, including endless wealth."
"World War II had already begun at that time!"
"Yes, we moved out of Germany and came to Washington, USA, where I knew him. He was an officer at the time, but because of me, he chose to retire."
“It’s easy for American officers to retire and it’s during the war…”
"He is a member of the Rockefeller family."
Everything is clear. If members of other families are not easy to retire, there is absolutely no problem with the Rockefeller family. After all, there is a saying in the United States that the Democratic Party belongs to the Morgan family and the Republican Party belongs to the Rockefeller family. As a member of the Rockefeller family, even if he is not a direct member, retirement is not difficult.
"You should be very happy!"
"If it is a blessing to abandon the family, then we are indeed very happy."
Shaking his head, Leowei smiled bitterly. Even members of the Rockefeller family wanted to retire. Although he successfully retired, he also lost the help and fund of the family.
Of course, this will not affect their lives. After all, Leowei came to the United States with a lot of wealth. Although it is incomparable to behemoths like the Rockefeller family, it is enough for them to have a wealth of life.
"David was very independent when he was very young. Because of David's independence, I was able to travel around the world with him, but... I was the only one who went back in the end, and he stayed in this desert forever."
Joseph wanted to persuade him, but he didn't say anything. After all, he was very bad at this.
"What are your plans?"
"Stay here, I want to buy a room, not here, but in a remote town, Joseph, what do you think?"
"It's pretty good, but it's dangerous. Are you sure you want to stay here?"
"Very sure, dangerous? I've experienced fewer dangers over the years?"
Joseph felt that he shouldn't say that, otherwise he wouldn't re-refer to Leovi's memories, but at this time the quarrel outside interrupted the conversation between the two.
"One euro? Ten euros are not rented. This is our house. I cannot allow outsiders to live here."
"I've rented it out, and it's useless for you to regret it now!"
"I can drive them away!"
"They have signed an agreement and you don't have the power to drive them away. If you call the police, your uncle can't save you."
"Damn the Duchy of Nord, damn law, if we had known this, we should have stayed in..."
"Where to stay? Stay in a desert without water and food?"
...
The quarrel between the couple made Joseph see more clearly the psychology of some privileged classes in the town, but he was a little curious about Hispanic homeowners, what exactly allowed her to be fearless of her indigenous husband?
"Maybe we all underestimate this homeowner and believe she has a certain influence here."
Joseph nodded in agreement with Leowei's words. He also thought so. Without influence, he would never be able to compete with the mayor's nephew. There is one thing that Joseph may not know. This Hispanic homeowner is also a member of the town, one of the only two members.
And she has today's status only depends on two words - education. She is a teacher. Although she suffered a lot of harm when she was robbed into the town, she quickly regained her spirit and devoted herself to local education. Not everyone is a bad person. With the support of ordinary town residents, she has gradually had the right to speak, otherwise she would not dare to rent out the house by herself.
The Hispanic homeowner is also very smart and has a clear understanding of the situation. Don’t look at the euro when her husband says it casually. In fact, even the privileged class in the town is still very jealous of the euro. The quarrel just now is just an inherent unique idea of the territory and dissatisfied with his wife’s private practice.
"I think this homeowner is more than enough to be the mayor of the town."
Leowei's casual words made Joseph's eyes lit up. I believe that every relative and friend of the local emperor is not the same. For example, in the current situation, if Hispanic women are elected as mayors, I believe that the old mayor will compromise and the residents are very willing. Will this speed up the time of full control?
In fact, full control and incomplete control have little influence on the Principality of Nord, because that is only a matter of time. Sooner or later, it will be transformed into a modern town. Those inherent ideas will slowly disappear with the development of technology, and the local emperor will eventually become a legendary vocabulary.
Now education, public security and taxation are in the hands of the Principal of Nord. The mayor of the town is just an ordinary small privileged class, and their threat is actually not very strong.
He said good night to Leowei with all kinds of thoughts, and then fell asleep. This was the first night in Joseph's town. He slept very sweetly, although the guards guarded outside were very hard.
The next morning, Joseph was awakened by the bleating sound of goats. When he opened the window, Joseph saw the first thing he saw was the crowded goats on the street. Don’t get me wrong that this is not about slaughtering, but about the residents preparing to go to the oasis to grazing sheep.
