Chapter 270

Shi Wuwei took the black teapot and added tea to everyone, and asked Su Chunjun in a friendly manner, “Sir, may I ask if you need anything else?”

Zhang Ma refused to drink the tea, saying that if she drank too much, she wouldn’t be able to sleep at night, so she drank the blackened ginger tea by herself, and she whispered to Zhu Yuyan, “Big Head is getting more and more like ah.”

In order to train Shi Wuwei, he has been looking like this from time to time recently in the Little Red House.

All-English conversations.

Everyone wore foreign clothes.

All eat with knives and forks, only Zhang Ma can use chopsticks.

The results are outstanding.

Zhu Yuyan saw for herself what genius was all about.

Ordinary people need time, geniuses don’t!

No matter how uneasy or apprehensive Shi Wuwei was before he started, once he started, he was able to quickly get into the swing of things and made zero mistakes!

Zhu Yuyan couldn’t see any problem at all, she even felt that Shi Wuwei had always been so relaxed and prepared, that’s why he could do so well.

But even so, Prof. Dai also asked that this training must be done until they get on the ship, so that Shi Wuwei’s sleep and sleep talk must be in English.

Because she is an elopement girl, the requirements for her are not as high as they should be. Her persona was that she walked the world for love and was abducted back to England by Shi Wuwei.

Professor Dai also told her a lot about what the English women he knew were like.

Prof. Die: “What you can be assured of is that traditional English women are also very conservative, even in London, the average English maiden is very conservative. They don’t go to balls, they wear plain clothes, embroidery and needlework is a must for many British women, and most British girls don’t go to school if their families aren’t prepared to give them an education.”

Although Britain was a developed country and seemed to be much more advanced than China, it was only in terms of technological innovation, and society as a whole was still far from being civilized enough to match the advanced technology.

Most of the ordinary people in Britain were still farmers or craftsmen, living in poverty, with little savings, and with a life expectancy similar to that of the Chinese people.

Prof. Dai: “The gap between rich and poor in Britain is so wide and the classes so pronounced that the upper and lower classes of society will never intermingle.”

“They are exceptionally poor and there will be little chance of changing class. Because they have no chance of getting an education and no way of getting a better job.” In England, manservants were only allowed to work if they had gone to university, and without a certain level of education, it was impossible to find decent work, and they had to go out and do hard labor.

“But their emerging class is now gradually gaining a voice and making up a larger and larger proportion of society.” That would be the lawyers, the merchants, and the small squires.

What could be more reassuring was that although Dai Yuchan and Shi Wuwei were a bit silly and not quite brainy enough, the emerging class would easily accept them once they arrived in England.

The last thing Prof. Dai could teach them was, “Knowledge is your strongest and most powerful weapon, learn more knowledge and you will be more easily respected and get more room for survival.” He didn’t only speak like this to Shi Wuwei, but also to Dai Yuchan: “Little Cicada, nowadays the literacy rate of women in the UK isn’t very high, but the society welcomes women to join the workforce because their society is developing too fast and there is a shortage of high end laborers, and some women from privileged families are so well educated that they have seized this opportunity and taken advantage of the opportunity to expand their voice. You have to keep up the enthusiasm to learn and study a hundred times harder than you did back home, and the rewards will never live up to the hard work you put in. Don’t be too timid there, and be bold when you see an opportunity! Don’t be afraid to make noise and make achievements.”

These words gave Dai Yuchan a great inspiration and touch.

She was not someone who was extraordinarily fond of learning and passionate about knowledge, and she was not as smart as Yan Yan. All along, she had never had any ambition in her studies, believing that she was bound to gain a place in the halls of knowledge or achieve anything.

She used to think that the biggest gain in college was meeting many like-minded classmates.

Knowledge did expand her brain, but she found that she didn’t really recognize the role of knowledge.

Prof. Dai regards knowledge as the magic weapon for British women to change their destiny, and it seems that British women with high knowledge do get the chance to change their destiny and hold the rudder of their destiny as a result.

What about Chinese women?

Is it possible for Chinese women to acquire knowledge to achieve a higher social status, and ultimately change their position in the whole society, and even in the family and life?

Dai Yuchan was so excited by this idea that it was as if she had touched the door of her destiny, and when she pushed it open, the light from the other side of the door projected over, not only illuminating her life, but also illuminating the paths of many women just like her.

Zhu Yuyan was the first to notice her sister’s change in attitude. Seeing that Dai Yu Cicada became positive and no longer rejected going to study abroad, she was really relieved and immediately told Zhu Yanshu.

Zhu Yanshu had recently been fretting over the school move, and was happy to hear this news for a bit, only a bit, then she started to get angry and lash out, complaining to Zhang Ma: “Each and every one of them is a white-eyed wolf, heartless, only a few days of sadness and then they are not sad anymore, and they don’t cry for a few more days when they leave their own mother.”

Zhang Ma did not want to talk to her. She just realized that Zhu Yanshu not only sent away Dai Yucan, but also planned to leave Zhu Yuyan behind.

Zhang Ma: “You just listen to her, huh? You’re her mom. If you tell her to go, how can she not go? If you leave her behind, what can a little person like her do?”

Zhang Ma cried to Zhu Yanshu, Zhu Yanshu felt bad too, so she shed tears with her.

Zhu Yanshu: “I don’t want to listen to her either, I also want her to listen to me, but does she listen?”

The two of them wiped a series of tears at each other, or Zhu Yanshu first stopped crying, wiped away her tears, and said seriously to Zhang Ma: “Although they are young people, they all have ideas in their hearts. A big sister, a Yan Yan, as well as Wu Wei, Pure Jun, each of them want to do something, it’s impossible not to let them do it.”

“I’m just taking Yan Yan away, does that mean she won’t do her business? She’s definitely still doing what she’s doing. Whether she does it here, or if I take her away and she follows the school to another place and does it again, she’s definitely going to cause trouble.” Zhu Yan Shu took Zhang Ma’s hand and said, “I just thought, since she’s going to screw up everywhere, why not let her screw up with Mr. Su? Mr. Su is so powerful, smarter and more capable than her, and can protect her a bit. Other than that, if there’s a gunshot coming, I think he’d be willing to stand in front of Yan Yan. It’s not easy to find such a person, away from Mr. Su, Yan Yan will have to mess up alone, that’s all the more reason for me to feel at ease with her.”

Zhang Ma thought carefully, Zhu Yanshu’s words made sense. It was long past the time when a woman could live her whole life by keeping her at home to teach her children, nor was it a world where she could live her whole life peacefully and steadily. In the past, she had always thought of letting Yan Yan be a working woman, smart and dry, and also publish a photo in the pictorials, looking beautiful and scenic.

Now she couldn’t stop them either.

Zhang Ma said to Zhu Yanshu, “Then I won’t go. I’ll stay and keep Yan Yan company. You all left, you can’t leave her alone.”

Where would Zhu Yanshu agree? Immediately, she said, “Then you’ll leave me behind, you don’t care about me?”

Zhang Ma gave her a blank look, “You’re a mom, you have a substitute professor. That Yan Yan is alone.”

Zhu Yanshu refused and urged Zhang Ma to go with her.

On the one hand, Zhu Yanshu is worried that Zhang Ma’s health is not good, she is too old, it is obviously inappropriate to stay and let Zhu Yuyan take care of her. To put it politely, Zhang Ma doesn’t feel it herself, but she is already a burden now, Zhu Yanshu naturally refuses to leave the “burden” to Zhu Yuyan, and wants to bring her own with her.

On the other hand, Zhang Ma has taken care of Zhu Yanshu for her whole life, and Zhu Yanshu can’t throw Zhang Ma to Zhu Yuyan to wait for her, right?

Once they parted this time, she and Zhu Yuyan and Dai Yucan might still see each other, but Zhang Ma, I’m afraid she won’t be able to wait for the day when they see each other.

Therefore, Zhu Yanshu absolutely refused to leave Zhang Ma behind.

The Mid-Autumn Festival had arrived.

The Japanese students in the school began to make glutinous rice dumplings in preparation for the moon festival.

Although the school was getting short of supplies, the Japanese students were unaffected. They also knew that the Chinese students were running out of food – this was what Zhu Yuyan told them, because there was no food in the school, so the students were running out, even the professors were running out.

She took the Japanese students to make Japanese flags, and what she said was that she thought it was okay that there were a lot of misunderstandings about Japanese people out there now! She believes that if the Japanese students make Japanese flags with their own hands and give them to the people outside, sooner or later those people will realize the friendly intentions of the Japanese.

The Japanese students also believed that as long as the Chinese people could realize the friendship of the Japanese, they would surely accept the Japanese rule.

They made moonlight-appreciating dumplings and sent them to Zhu Yuyan, as well as other professors in the school.

This trick of the Japanese students was not expected by Zhu Yuyan. After she received the dumplings sent by the Japanese students in a group, she immediately followed them with fear and trepidation to deliver the rest of the dumplings, and then sent them back to the Japanese building in person.

Because the Japanese students were actually very autistic, after they came to this school, they had always only been moving around the Japanese building and would rarely venture outside.

Regarding this, Zhu Yuyan had also once heard the Japanese students talk about it, and it seemed that before they came here, the Japanese teachers had told them that since the Japanese were scarce, they were all very precious Japanese seeds, and that in order to protect themselves, they couldn’t leave a safe place without authorization.

It can be seen that the Japanese actually know that they are not welcome here and will be in danger.

So Zhu Yuyan, after stalling them with the matter of making the Japanese flag, did not guard the Japanese building twenty-four hours a day, preventing the Japanese students from running out and seeing the empty campus and becoming suspicious.

As a result, she didn’t expect to be exposed today.

Even with her prior knowledge, there is no guarantee that the Japanese will not be suspicious.

Zhu Yuyan immediately notify the Tang principal, to run to hurry ah, there is no what big things hurry to send out, she is worried that the Japanese side can not hide for long!

After notifying her that she was guarding the building, a big event happened that day.

The second son, is going to give birth.

All the people in the Japanese building, no matter whether they are Japanese male or female students, at this time they can’t see their previous behavior of rejecting Er Zi, they all silently guarded in the corridor, quietly cheering for Er Zi.

But since they were all unmarried, none of them were allowed to go in and help, and even Zhu Yuyan was stopped outside.

Ms. Sakai was the only one who delivered the baby.

Zhu Yuyan thought that Sakai-sensei was really becoming more and more mysterious, how could she know everything?

She carefully recalled about Sakai-sensei, it was said that she came from a family, and only came to serve as a teacher after her family fell into disgrace, or was specially invited, and indeed the few remaining Japanese teachers respected her quite a bit, and never looked down on her because she was a woman.

But she could also teach Japanese painting, Japanese dance, Japanese music and instruments, kimono, tea ceremony, flower arrangement ……

Though it’s said that this is all mandatory for women of Japanese families.

Now she can actually deliver babies!

Do Japanese family women have to know so much?

Inside a doorway, Sakai-sensei consoled Futako, “Don’t worry, I’ve delivered babies for the girls in the tea house, and I can already see the head, the fetus is in a normal position, and you’ll definitely be able to give birth to a healthy child!”

Futako’s two hands were tied to the railing, a cloth was tied to her mouth, she bit the cloth and couldn’t cry out, her face was red and full of sweat and tears, she couldn’t hear what Sakai-sensei was saying at all, she only felt the intense pain.

It hurt too much! It hurt too much!

It wasn’t until nine o’clock at night the next day that Futako, exhausted, gave birth to a girl. The girl was healthy and cried loudly. The second day, the child was carried away by Mr. Sakai, and it was said that the child was to be carried to the Japanese expatriates in the Japanese Concession to be raised until the ship arrived so that the child could be sent back to Japan, and that the child was carried away in advance so that the second child would not have too much affection for the child.

However, Er Zi cried for many days after the child was taken away and could not get over it.

Zhu Yuyan was finally able to visit Erzi.

Erzi had lost a lot of weight and seemed to have grown up overnight.

She no longer looks like a naive and silly child.

When Zhu Yuyan asked her what she needed, she whispered to Zhu Yuyan to help her escape.

Er Zi’s eyes glowed, holding her hand tightly: “I want to go back to Japan, I want to go back to find my child!”

Zhu Yuyan asked her in a small voice, “Can’t you go back to Japan?” Didn’t some female students go back to marry?

Er Zi lay back on the pillow and shook her head, saying softly, “No way. We swore the day we came here that we would never go back to Japan.”

Zhu Yuyan: “What? Why?”

Er Zi’s pale face, hard to say, “We …… are warriors, in the war has not yet been won can not be a deserter. Should the war be lost, we have all sworn to martyrdom.” It was just impossible for Japan to lose, and all the Japanese were so convinced that Japan would get the final victory! (Author: Hahahahahahahaha!)

Zhu Yuyan had thought that these Japanese students were ill-intentioned from before, but at that time she didn’t have any proof, and to put it bluntly, she was just prejudiced. But now it was confirmed that she that was not prejudice, but accidentally guessed.

Erzi: “I swore that I can not go back to my country …… I have to go back now, it is desertion.” She wiped a tear from her eye, “I’m not going home, I just want to see my children again. Please help me, Yan Ji.”

Zhu Yuyan agreed without much hesitation, “Okay, I will help you. In order to help you escape, you have to tell me a little bit more about what’s going on here before you can do that.”

Er Zi nodded, “Okay, I’ll tell you everything.”
