blackstone code

In the Commonwealth, alcoholic beverages are not cheap, especially alcoholic beverages from formal channels.

Prohibition has shown no sign of being relaxed. Although many people in society believe that Prohibition is no longer necessary, several congressional hearings have made no good progress.

On the contrary, because the end of the world is coming, Congress has unified its views and believes that there is no need to cancel Prohibition——

Before the end comes, the federal government needs to reserve a large amount of supplies to survive the initial most difficult period. If Prohibition is relaxed, a large amount of food will flow into the alcoholic beverage manufacturing industry.

Waiting until the eve of the end to ban this would obviously be too late. No one knows the exact time of the end, so we simply don’t lift the ban.

Some laboratories have begun to study methods of long-term storage of grain, and some regions have begun to consider preparing to build strategic grain storage warehouses.

Therefore, not only will the alcohol ban not be lifted, but inspections may become stricter in the future.

However, there are some openings regarding the issuance of license plates.

The federal government issues some brewing licenses and some licenses to sell alcoholic beverages every year, which has also led to high prices for alcoholic beverages in the consumer market.

Mr. Trueman himself does not have much savings, just tens of thousands of dollars in total.

After his death, the money was inherited by Joanna——

If one spouse dies unexpectedly, the other spouse will be the first heir. This is stipulated in the Federal Succession Act.

Due to some fines and other reasons, Joanna no longer has any money in her personal account, and what she has now is Mr. Trueman's inheritance.

Therefore, the girl does not have any financial resources, and at the same time needs a lot of alcoholic beverages and drugs, and has developed a high-intensity dependence on these things.

My mother was sentenced to many years for being a criminal because of something stupid and wrong. Although my father was great, he was also killed by a weapon.

Even after Mr. Trueman's death, some voices emerged in society to question everything he did!
Under such circumstances, without alcohol and drugs, the girl would not be able to survive at all.

But the problem is, how can she pay this money if she has no income?
Joanna actually already had the answer in her heart, but she still didn't want to believe it.

Whether what she and Mr. Trueman did was right or wrong, that was their business and should have nothing to do with their daughter.

But the current situation is that their daughter is also implicated.

"She... has been working as a paid escort for some time."

She is a paid escort, to put it bluntly, she is an escort, and many people in the federal society are very interested in her.

Because her status is very special, she is a princess one moment and a daughter-in-law the next, there will always be people willing to spend some money to give it a try.

The girl's business is pretty good, and the prices are very high. Her specialty is the strong style of "Federal Princess".

Players who like to play and abuse like this identity very much. This identity can satisfy many people's fantasies, and it's not fucking fake!
The cost each time is at least several thousand yuan, sometimes ten thousand or twenty thousand.

When she has money, she and her boyfriend will spend money together, buying cigarettes, drinks, and drugs, and then live drunkenly for a while before going out to pick up jobs.

For the girl at this time, life and the future have long become numb and empty.

In extreme numbness, short-term happiness is the eternity she pursues!
Although only for a moment!

Joanna's face turned livid, "Why didn't anyone tell me this? This shouldn't have happened!"

The lawyer asked, "What's the use of telling you?"

"The Department of Justice is going to enforce all of your personal property. If you can still get the money, do you think you can keep it?"

"And her problem is not whether she has money or not, it's that you all left her!"

Hearing this, Joanna stopped talking and fell into silence.

The father is dead and the mother is in jail. If this happened in the lower city, to those families at the bottom of society, they might not think it is a problem.

Because this situation is very common at the bottom of society, and this is not the worst thing. What is even worse is that those whose fathers were gang members died in gang battles.

Then gang members came to visit their mother constantly, and they had to wait outside the house before they could go back to do their homework.

So many worse people and things have not broken down the determination of the people at the bottom to live a better life. The collapse of Trueman and Joanna's daughter is actually an even greater gap.

Falling from heaven to a mud pit, the former princess of the Federation became a lonely daughter of a criminal.

Thinking of her daughter's current situation, Joanna could only sigh heavily, "Send me to see her."

The lawyer hesitated, but asked the driver to divert to her daughter's residence.

Now her daughter lives in one of their houses on the Ring Road, not too far from the city center.

This place was not part of the city center before, but with the expansion of Bupen several times, it has changed from the edge of the city to the center of the city.

The concept of the city center has also changed from a crossroads to a huge urban area.

Arriving in front of the old house, Joanna got out of the car, and the room was filled with harsh music.

The walls of the house were originally wood-colored, but now they look dirty, with a lot of exaggerated paint on them, which is incompatible with everything around them.

She got out of the car and opened the door, just as a guy who didn't look like a good guy came out of the door holding up his pants.

The strong smell of cigarettes, alcohol and other disgusting smells coming from him was disgusting!

The two looked at each other for a moment, and then the guy left in a swaggering manner.Joanna walked into the room. There was garbage everywhere and there was almost no place to stay. It was dirtier than the cells of the sloppiest and dirtiest prisoners in the prison!

The smell of smoke in the air almost made her suffocate!
She walked to the window and opened the curtains, pushing the window open, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.

Several young people in the living room were crowded on the sofa, staring at the TV with dull eyes. However, the TV had long been in arrears and could only play a snowflake screen.

They were obviously high.

Joanna walked to the bedroom upstairs and saw her daughter.

She was lying on the bed with a cigarette in her mouth and no clothes on.

Some traces left on the bed seemed to be telling her why the man who left just now was holding up his pants.

She looked a little...distracted, and even Joanna didn't notice when she came in.

When Joanna saw this scene, she felt angry. She walked over and slapped her hard twice. Maybe it was hurt from the slap, but it took the girl a while to react.

She looked at Joanna for a long time before she realized that the woman in front of her might be her mother.

She rolled up the sheets and asked tentatively, "Joanna?"

She couldn't believe that this was Joanna, but the guy in front of her did look like her mother, and she had that very special feeling!
She rubbed her eyes, her vision was not good, turned on the light, and then fell into silence.

Neither of them spoke, and after a while, Joanna said, "Get dressed, we need to talk."

She left, giving her daughter some time and space to sort herself out.

She thought she would be very angry, but instead of that, she began to calm down.

After a few minutes, the daughter came out of the room and the two left the house.

They left here in the lawyer's car. The girl didn't say anything along the way and just kept smoking.

Joanna refused to let her suck it at first and broke one off, but she took out another one and left her alone.

They found a coffee shop on the roadside. The lawyer was in the car and did not leave.

The mother and daughter found a remote place to sit down, neither of them knew what to say.

After about a few minutes, the girl seemed a little irritable, "Did you ask me out just to buy me a cup of coffee?"

She took a sip of the coffee and said, "The coffee is great, thank you. If there is nothing else, I should go back."

Joanna suddenly became angry, "Go back?"

"Do you know what you're doing?"

"You shouldn't be like this. You have a bright future. How could you become like this?"

"You're like cheap..., you shouldn't be like this!"

The girl was impatient and her mood became tepid. Her dependence on drugs made her more and more emotional.

She suddenly shouted hysterically, "Why do you accuse me?"

"Did you tell me what to do when you left me?"

"No, you didn't say anything, you just left me and left!"

"I am like a clown who has to bear the slander and blame from society for you. Everyone is qualified to criticize me, but you are the person least qualified to criticize me!"

"Do you think I'm a female cousin?"

"But how are you better than me?"

She stood up and left. She walked to the car and took a look at the lawyer. She gave up the idea of ​​leaving by car and walked directly in the direction of the old house.

Joanna, who had been scolded, only reacted at this time, but she looked at her daughter's back and knew that it would be useless to catch up now.

Joanna was very angry. Her family was gone, her career was gone, her husband was gone, her lover was gone, her freedom had been gone for a while, she had gotten a lot older, and now her daughter was like this again.

All the good things went to hell overnight!

She dropped the 20 yuan and returned to the car, "Do you have Lynch's phone number?"

The lawyer nodded. He had contacted Joanna and Lynch before, and he had left a phone number.

"Call him and tell her I want to meet him. Is this how he takes care of our daughter?"

Joanna was very angry, and she became very dissatisfied with Lynch at this time.

When Mr. Trueman wasn't assassinated and she wasn't incarcerated, Lynch was like their best friend.

They trusted Lynch very much, but Lynch failed to trust them!

He failed to protect the girl, even for Mr. Trueman's sake!
