Chapter 1673 1675【Bearing oneself with courage】
It is not easy to obtain legal status in Japan.
First of all, Japan is not a country of immigrants. Its culture is very exclusive. People who are not from our ethnic group must have different attitudes. Even those of mixed race are not welcome. What''s more, they are pure outsiders like Xiang Nan and Lili.
Secondly, Japan has very high restrictions on immigration. There are requirements for academic qualifications, skills, net worth, residence history, criminal record, etc. Neither Xiang Nan nor Lili have high academic qualifications or recognized technical certificates. It is also very difficult to apply for immigration.
?Therefore, after Xiang Nan and Lili thought about it, they felt that there was only one way, which was relatively simple and easy to operate. That is to find a Japanese to fake marriage.
The Japanese law stipulates that as long as you marry a native, you can be naturalized after three years. At that time, even if you get divorced, your nationality will not be taken away.
Many immigrants successfully stayed in Japan through this method.
It''s just that there are certain risks in operating this matter.
?On the one hand, those who are willing to agree to fake marriages are basically people living in poverty, and many are even homeless people on the streets. Their quality is worrisome and they are more likely to be burdened with debts. Marrying them is still risky.
On the one hand, the Immigration Bureau will also conduct door-to-door inspections at any time. Once it is discovered that the marriage is fake, not only will it be fined and sentenced, but it will also be deported. So it''s not particularly easy.
So if you want to have a fake marriage, it is best to know the root cause and not make any mistakes.
Xiang Nan and Lili are also looking for candidates.
…
During this period, Japan has passed the "Violent Group Countermeasures Act" to manage and restrict violent groups in Japan.
?Once the law is violated, the consequences will be disastrous.
For this reason, all the major forces are ready to prepare themselves as if they are facing a formidable enemy. For example, the triads have reduced their activities, making business in Kabukicho easier because there are less gangsters causing trouble.
?However, not all forces are willing to shrink back and follow the rules.
?For example, the leader of the Triad Togawa group, Taro Togawa, still swaggers through the city, fighting and killing, and taking advantage of other forces to retreat, he comes out to seize territory.
This has caused great trouble to the Triads.
Especially Vice Chairman Eguchi Toshinari. He himself has both means and ambition. He wants to inherit the position of president of the Triad Association and regard it as his life''s work.
??But Taro Watakawa still acted in such a high-profile manner after the "Law on Countermeasures against Violent Groups" was introduced. It was obvious that he was lighting a lantern in the den - seeking death!
?It would be fine if he died alone. If not, the entire society would have to be buried with him. Therefore, Eguchi Toshinari was very dissatisfied with him and repeatedly advised the chairman Koichi Muranishi, hoping that he could stop Taro Watakawa.
?However, the village president repeatedly refused to punish Tokawa on the pretext of "unity" and "stability". Instead, he asked Eguchi to be patient and not to anger Tokawa.
?This can’t help but make Jiangguchi very depressed.
…
The Chinese Spring Festival is here in a blink of an eye.
The Japanese people do not celebrate the Lunar New Year. In fact, they originally celebrated the Lunar New Year. Later, after the Meiji Restoration, they accepted Western culture and moved the Spring Festival to January 1 of the Gregorian calendar, which is our New Year''s Day.
?However, the Chinese in Japan still remember the Spring Festival, so they all prepare to celebrate the New Year.
Xiang Nan and Lili are also preparing to celebrate the New Year. They planned to invite the work-study students in the store and Xiang Nan''s hometown boy Ajie to make dumplings and have New Year''s Eve dinner together.
So Xiang Nan bought all kinds of ingredients in advance and prepared to show off his cooking skills.
On the afternoon of the Spring Festival, the bars were closed.
Everyone gathered at the bar, watching TV together, making dumplings, and preparing to eat them in the evening.
“Wow, Brother Tietou, you are so skillful with your hands. Look how beautifully you make the dumplings.”
“The boss lady has really found the right person. Alas, when will I find a man as good as Brother Tietou?”
"It''s hard to find a man as good as Brother Tietou, so only the landlady is lucky enough to find one. We don''t have that fate!" They all talked about it.
“Okay, making dumplings can’t stop your mouths.” Lili scolded with a smile, then looked at Xiang Nan, “Tietou, why hasn’t Ajie come yet?”
"Don''t you know him? He doesn''t make enough money. He has to sell all the chestnuts before he comes back." Xiang Nan said with a smile.
??Ajie pushes a chestnut cart to sell every day, and the business is pretty good. On a good day, he can earn 20,000 to 30,000 yuan. Even if the situation is bad, he can still earn more than 10,000 yuan, which is much better than working as a coolie before.
Because of this, he was very motivated. Even though it was the New Year today, he still didn''t take a break and pushed the chestnut cart to sell as usual.
“Well, it doesn’t matter, just wait for him. Wait for him to come before placing the dumplings.” Lili nodded.
…
?At this moment, I heard a knock on the door.
"Xiao Weng, go and tell him that the bar is closed today and let him go elsewhere to spend money." Lili said quickly when she saw him.
Today is the Spring Festival. She has worked hard for a year and she wants to take a good rest. Even if it was a regular customer, she didn''t want to receive it.
The little man agreed and went, and then he heard him yelling, "Come here, Brother Jie, Brother Jie, what''s wrong with you?"
When everyone heard that the voice was wrong, they hurriedly ran out, only to see Ajie with a bruised nose and swollen face, and his face was covered in blood. He was beaten into a pig''s head, which was extremely miserable.
"What''s going on? Who can beat you?" Xiang Nan asked quickly when he saw this.
“Uncle De.” Ajie said with tears, and blood oozed from the corners of his mouth as soon as he opened his mouth.
“Uncle De?!” Upon hearing this, Xiang Nan stood up immediately.
"Tietou, don''t~" When Lili saw it, she quickly stepped forward to stop him and said, "Uncle De is an old overseas Chinese who has been here for many years. He has connections with local gangs and is very tyrannical. None of us dare to mess with him. "
“Yes, Uncle De is very fierce and looks down on us Chinese at all.”
“He has Japanese nationality and thinks he is Japanese, so he looks down on us.”
“Brother Jie, you are such a good person, why did you provoke him?”
Everyone was talking about it.
"That''s enough! I don''t care who he is, if he beats my brother, I won''t let him go." Xiang Nan stood up and said, "Ajie, don''t cry, I''ll go help you get justice."
“He also robbed my chestnut cart.” Ajie cried.
Xiang Nan nodded and walked out immediately.
When Lili saw this, she quickly followed behind for fear of something happening.
?Others were afraid of causing trouble and did not even dare to follow.
…
“Tietou, don’t be impulsive. Uncle De has a background and we can’t fight him.” Lili advised her along the way.
"If a brother doesn''t stand up when he is bullied, what kind of man can he be?" Xiang Nan waved his hand.
?He will not take the initiative to cause trouble, but when trouble comes, he will never back down. Besides, he knew that Uncle De was just trying to pull off the tiger''s skin and had no power in his own right.
In the film, after being taught a lesson by Tietou, he immediately became as honest as his grandson and did not dare to resist at all.
Moreover, Xiang Nan also wanted to use this to establish his authority. A good person can be bullied by a good person, and a good horse can be ridden by a good person. Hooligans often cause trouble in Lili''s bar because no one dares to stand up. So Xiang Nan wanted to establish rules today.
