American fame and fortune

On the morning of the weekend, the Carter siblings went out together to mend the fence in the yard.

Mrs. Wood, who was diagonally opposite, came from a distance holding a trolley, stopped in front of the door, and said, "Last night, I saw Scott was picked up by a car."

Elena smiled: "It's just right, he won't disturb us."

Mrs. Wood is a nice person. A word of caution: "You can't live without him."

Elena nodded: "He will be fine."

Mrs. Wood pushed the cart and slowly walked diagonally opposite.

Martin came out of the house with a toolbox, looked at the slightly dilapidated wood in front of him, and began to direct: "Hall, take your shovel and dig a hole. Harris, find a ruler to measure the height. Lily, help me. "

He got out his hand saw and sawed the wood.

Suddenly someone blocked the sun.

Martin looked up and found Lily: "Idiot, what are you doing?"

Lily stretched out her hand: "You're as stupid as a pig, give me the saw quickly."

Martin remembered that Elena mentioned that Lily was the best handicraft in the Carter family. He handed over the hand saw and asked, "Can you do it?"

Lily saws the wood skillfully, and her mouth is not idle: "I can make it exactly like you!"

Martin didn't tell her to stop, but said, "I have a handicraft to do." Then thinking of Lily's age: "Forget it, you're not suitable."

Lily raised her voice: "Watch how I saw this piece of wood to look like you!"

"You'd better not be bragging, idiot." Martin decided to find a companion for James: "You can't do it, I will dig a hole in the backyard and bury you."

Lily blinked and blinked: "Then listen to you and Elena every night?"

With a whoosh, the broken rope thrown by Elena hit Lily on the head.

Lily quickly shut up and started doing manual work in peace.

Martin took the shovel and helped Hall dig the hole.

The body seems to have muscle memory, and it is very skillful to do it.

Digging pits and burying people does not seem to be difficult.

After working for most of the morning, a wooden fence was erected in the missing part of the barbed wire in the yard.

All the wood has strange shapes and stands on the kang, as if it is dealing with the earth.

Lily Carter's masterpiece.

Martin and Elena were tied up again with rope and connected to the barbed wire. Although it was not beautiful, it was functional.

Mainly not afraid of thieves.

Scrap wood worthless, Scott should not be interested.

After washing his hands, Martin got out of the car and said, "Idiots, I'll treat you to lunch."

The four of Elena got into the car, and Martin drove to a nearby fried chicken and burger restaurant. The average price was five or six dollars per person, which was enough for Lily and Hall, two idiots, to roll their eyes and spit out.

After dinner, Harris bought some old magazines from a nearby bookstore.

Back at Carter's house, Martin sat on the sofa, picked out a magazine, and said to Elena, "You calculate the rent."

Then, he turned his head and pointed at Lily: "Idiot, shut up!"

Lily's words were stuck in her throat, she coughed and tried to defend herself: "I didn't say anything."

Elena looks for the ledger.

Martin flipped through the magazines, and what he picked up casually turned out to be an astronomy magazine. The page he turned to was introducing a newly discovered star.

Seems like a lot of new stars are discovered every year?

Martin picked up the magazine and shook it at Harris: "Have you studied astronomy?"

Harris was reading the book seriously, without raising his head: "Forgot? I am a member of the Astronomy Club. Don't ask me to introduce you to the stars. I am in a public middle school."

Elena came out of the bedroom with a notebook, flipped through it and said, "I don't know how Emma negotiated with Jack, the rent is $1,000 for half a year."

Martin said in his heart that he was sure about what was discussed on the bed, and said, "I'll pass it on to you on Monday."

Just like Fake, Elena was never polite to Martin when she got up, and immediately rolled her eyes: "Idiot, you want to be like the bastard Jack? This is until the end of March, and it will be June soon!"

Lily finally seized the opportunity: "Because of his bad debts, he will feel better when he messes up."

The astronomy magazine was thrown out and hit Lily in the face, and Martin simply said, "I'll give you $2,000."

Elena is very generous: "I don't want the interest."

"I have an appointment with a friend in the afternoon, you continue." Martin got up and went out.

Elena picked up the clothes basket, followed Martin to the next door, and packed the clothes Martin had changed.

The washing machine here was sold many years ago, and Martin's dirty clothes were taken to Elena's place to be washed.

Martin got used to it long ago, and without talking nonsense, he drove to downtown Atlanta and came to the coffee shop last time.

Barkley, a reporter from the "Atlanta Star", was already waiting here. When he saw Martin, he said, "I got some news."

Martin took out the $200 he had prepared and pushed it to Barkley: "This is yours."

Last time, Martin asked Monica's freelance reporter friend, this is the market price for asking reporters for news and buying materials.

Buckley put away the money and said, "In a few days, a director of the Atlanta Methodist Association, a man named Milton, will attend a press conference on large-scale skills training. He is the most hawkish conservative in the Methodist Association." leader."

He opened the bag, took out the collected information, and handed it to Martin: "The statement that caused the Liberty Association to protest - the view that women are only family subordinates and must follow the will of the family is what he publicly expressed."

Martin's quick glance: "Has this guy said anything tougher in the past?"

Barkley nodded: "Yes, he belongs to the die-hard conservatives."

Martin went to see Milton's information, and Barkley's information was naturally not secret, and most of it could be found by reporters.

One of the paragraphs caught Martin's attention. In Milton's three marriages, two failures were all due to the woman's derailment. When the woman sued for divorce, she was interviewed by the media and said that Milton was useless.

Martin thought for a while, and said, "Barkley, my friend, I may need a little help from you in a few days."

Buckley looked at the money, then looked at Martin's very civilized clothes, without any hesitation: "We are friends, and I will definitely help with this kind of help. When you need it, give me a call and I will be there on call."

Martin gestured for a phone call: "Wait for my call."

Buckley collected the money from the civilized people and left the cafe in a happy mood.

It's just for tabloids to make up stories, to make money, not shabby.

Martin came to the club and went to the office to find Vincent: "Boss, I have carefully read all kinds of newspapers in Atlanta these days. The media no longer mentions the name of Beast House. This is not conducive to the further expansion of the club's popularity."

Vincent has gained practical benefits from his popularity, and he is very concerned about this, saying: "It is impossible for us to really sue the Methodist Church. Civil litigation will take a long time and cost a lot of money, and it is not worth it."

In the last press conference, Martin complained loudly, and actually sent a lawyer's letter.

Martin said: "Boss, the Methodist Association took the initiative to trouble us last time. Why can't we take the initiative to trouble them? Let's go to the Methodist Association to protest, and then call the media reporters."

"Let the media make another wave of hype?" Vincent thought it could be done: "Are you sure?"

Martin added: "I rescued Kelly Gray, the director of the Freedom Association last time. Ms. Gray hired me as a part-time social investigator for the Freedom Association. We can borrow the name of the Freedom Association."

Vincent thought of Martin's key role in the club's explosion, and agreed: "Yes, the personnel cost is calculated as an hourly salary."

Martin said in his heart that it is really worthless to take the initiative to come to the door.
