Chapter 151
Su Chunjun stepped into the night and came to Miss Yang’s side, only here was he like a living person.
He loved the way Miss Yang’s melodious voice kept talking beside him, he loved to hear how meaningful and positive her life was, he loved everything about her, it was like he was living such a meaningful life with her too.
He hadn’t seen anyone else here for a long time after he arrived at the little red house. It wasn’t that they weren’t in this room, but he didn’t care about them.
It was not until Zhang Ma brought a big bowl of wonton noodles made for him and placed it steaming hot in front of him, lovingly placing the small dishes and chopsticks on the table and urging him with a smile, “Eat up, look at our Second Aunt, you’ve lost weight. At home alone, he must not have eaten properly.” Zhang Ma tsked, “I think I should go and talk to that Ma Da Auntie, she is paid a lot of money a month, and there is no one else in the house, so she doesn’t have to do anything, can’t even cook a few meals? How can the Golden Mansion be so full of people?”
Su Chunjun broke into a smile and said, “Zhang Ma, I don’t blame them, Ma Auntie cooks every day, morning and night, all prepared for me. I was too busy during this period of time, that’s why I got tired and thin a bit.”
He did lose some weight, the meat on his face couldn’t even hang on.
Yang Yuyan is close, has long seen that he is only afraid of this period of time is not good, carefully asked: “Is not the mayor is not good service?”
The mayor who smashed where long nose to have Su Chunjun high rise in her mind naturally like a dragon as vicious and unreasonable, Su Chunjun’s position is reused, but also to serve people, low voice. If she wasn’t worried about affecting his career, she would have advised him not to do this kind of aggravating work.
Su Chunjun smiled at her, gentle as water: “It’s okay, the mayor has been very sick lately, and doesn’t have time to look for my trouble.”
Prof. Dai also came over to sit down at this time, and asked curiously, “The mayor is sick? How sick?”
Su Chunjun saw that Prof. Dai was getting a bit fat, and said with a smile, “It seems that Zhang Ma’s cooking is delicious, and your clothes are all tight.”
Professor Dai hurriedly complimented Zhang Ma, “Aigoo, I’m eating fatter now than when I used to live at home. Zhang Ma’s craftsmanship is truly remarkable.”
Zhang Ma stood beside her with a caged hand, happy and modest: “That’s just home cooking, Professor, as long as you don’t mind. Quickly let our second aunt eat first, we can talk afterward.” She gently pushed Su Chunjun and winked at the wontons on the table, as if to tell him not to be so stupid and to eat his fill first.
Su Chunjun was deeply impressed that he was already Zhang Ma’s own family member, the one who ranked behind Second Miss Yang was him, a position that was not to be missed.
Touched, can not live up to Zhang Ma’s good intentions, so the wind rolled like a big bowl of wonton noodles eaten clean, even the small pickles mixed with sesame oil are not left.
After eating, the belly has food, the body also rises to the heat, but also have the strength.
Su Chunjun and then hold a cup of sweet water served by Ms. Yang’s hands, the mayor of this period of time, the chaos of the side of a one by one.
After the Japanese reached out, all parties also reacted. But for the mayor is not good news, but more anxious.
It was instructed from above not to oblige the Japanese, but not to anger them either.
Such an order turned the mayor into a rubber ball that could be kicked and punched by the Japanese without any resistance.
The mayor arrested many “prisoners” and put them in the gendarmerie, but he refused to hand over the “prisoners” to the Japanese, i.e., he did not bring them to trial and did not release them.
When the Japanese pressed the “prisoners”, the gendarmerie took a few of them and sent them to the Japanese, either to be tortured to death or to be beaten into submission.
But the Japanese purpose is not really to catch any prisoners, but to force the mayor to allow Japanese soldiers into the city “to maintain law and order”.
Prof. Dai sneered: “Is there no one in our country? The Japanese soldiers are needed to maintain law and order!”
Su Chunjun said, “The Japanese said that the Chinese could not catch the prisoners, is to harbor, in order to protect the Japanese, they must catch the prisoners, they do not need the Chinese to catch, to catch their own.”
The Japanese came from once in three days to three times a day. The mayor could not be pressed, and finally fell ill.
Professor Dai laughed at once: “The mayor has no choice.”
Su Chunjun nodded and sighed. He had watched China’s ruling heads, the parents of a land, bend their knees and do nothing to the foreigners. He sympathized with the mayor on one side, and on the other, he hated them even more for letting China fall into such a state.
To this day, the mayor is still asked to “befriend the Japanese”.
Yang Yuyan said, “The school is going to build a Japanese building, and there will be Japanese teachers and Japanese students coming.” This is what Prof. Dai told them yesterday evening, and the notice was posted on the notice board today.
Everyone in the little red building was too busy running new literacy and study classes to have much time to object. But inside the school there was a lot of opposition.
Prof. Dai said, “This is exactly the plot of the Japanese. They are kind to the people, building hospitals and schools, like a friendly and kind-hearted people, but this is just to remove our people’s wariness, so that the people can accept them more easily, and under shallow influence, so that Japan can rule China more smoothly.”
Su Chunjun said, “Yes. In the eastern provinces where Japan’s tentacles were deeper, there were more Japanese schools there, and from elementary school to university, without Chinese teachers, Japanese teachers were used, so that the students who were taught this way knew Japanese, and there was no difference at all between them and the Japanese.”
And when it came to the upper class, the Japanese would never be merciful, they coerced, and their aim was to rule China.
Prof. Dai smiled and said, “So, when the Japanese students and Japanese teachers come, you will find that they are all very nice people, maybe all of them are friendly and generous, and they will also speak Chinese, and they are full of praises and desires for China.” He asked Yang Yuyan, “Can you always speak ill of such friendly people?”
Yang Yuyan asked herself: she couldn’t.
Not only can she not do it, but 90% of the people in this school can’t do it.
Because everyone is also good people, all of them would like to believe that the people across the street are good people, just some of them are very bad, most of them are good people.
If the Japanese students and teachers who came were really as kind and friendly as Prof. Dai said, then the people in the school would accept them after boycotting them for a while.
After thinking about it, Yang Yuyan said, “But it’s not realistic to ask everyone to boycott all Japanese. Not all people can remain hateful, and we surely don’t want our people to be full of hate and hate others without reason.”
Just as not all people were able to soberly see what stage the upper echelons of the game had reached now, not all people should be turned into war machines.
Professor Dai patted Su Chunjun and said calmly, “That’s why only a portion of people carry the weight. They do these unpleasant things for everyone else.”
The people in the room quieted down.
They all looked at Su Chunjun.
During this period of time, they had reacquainted themselves with understanding Su Chunjun, and they realized that he was still the same young man he was in school, and had not turned into a villain. But there was some force that drove him deep into the mire but refused to struggle, still taking one step at a time.
He must have a great goal, an admirable cause.
They didn’t have to say it explicitly, they only guessed so in their minds.
Not a single word could be said.
To protect his safety.
Su Chunjun noticed the gazes of the crowd and suddenly smiled, “What are you looking at me for?” He grabbed Yang Yuyan’s hand and said softly, “I might have to do something to hurt your friend.”
Yang Yuyan immediately tensed up and asked softly, “Who?”
Su Chunjun’s voice also softened as he looked at her carefully and said, “Ms. Jin.”
Yang Yuyan didn’t react, “Miss Jin? She’s with the Japanese now, how are you going to hurt her?”
Su Chunjun shook his head and said, “Because the Finance Bureau has no money, I have to get some money to keep the gendarmerie working. Going to borrow money from a few big businessmen. Among …… them is the Jin Gongguan.”
By borrowing money, I mean inviting Master Kim to the gendarmerie’s jail and then talking to him about borrowing money.
It is impossible to get out without borrowing.
It was impossible to get out without shedding a few layers of skin.
This kind of thing must be done with a clear conscience, because to threaten Master Kim, one must take his wife and children as hostages. This was tantamount to wiping out the Jin family.
Except for Miss Jin who was given to the Japanese, no one in the Jin Mansion could escape.
Su Chunjun knew that Yang Yuyan had corresponded with Miss Jin. Although they had not been dating for a long time, and their relationship was not deep by all accounts, Yang Yuyan had an extraordinary concern and care for Miss Jin.
He now wants to start on the Golden Mansion, really feel sorry for Yang Yuyan, afraid that she will have a view of him, the two centrifugal.
Yang Yuyan heard the whole story, pondered for a moment, held his hand and said, “I don’t want to comfort you, in fact, I don’t care too much about how you treat Master Jin and Mrs. Jin.”
Su Chunjun naturally couldn’t believe it, the Second Miss Yang in his mind, that was incomparably kind.
Yang Yuyan knew he didn’t believe it just by looking at his expression, she said once again, “To Yang Xuhe, I won’t care what happens to him. The same goes for Master Jin and Mrs. Jin.” She paused for a moment and slowly said, “I don’t look forward to a good life for them.”
She had already used up all her kindness on them, and there wasn’t a single bit more.
She said to Su Chunjun, “I believe that there is a reason for what you did, and if you feel that you did something wrong, then I am willing to take half of it.”
