Chapter 319
Mrs. Su successfully escaped another day, and the next day she had to send her husband to work with a gentle and sweet smile at the gate.
Zhu Yuyan gave Mr. Su a kiss on the cheek and said, “Darling, be careful on the road.”
Su Chunjun holds her hand and smiles, “I’ll be back early.”
Mrs. Su: “Hehe.”
After sending Mr. Su away, Mrs. Su had a free day. Although she has only been a wife for two days, she already understands that the happiest time to be a wife is when Mr. Su goes to work.
What does it mean to be relieved? This was it!
She arranged the day’s events over breakfast. First, she was going to visit Ms. Zhu and the others to see how their arrangements were going and when they were leaving.
Then, she’d come back for lunch and another nap before calling to invite Ms. Hirata, Mrs. Cai, and Mrs. Shao over for a game of mahjong. Yesterday was the first time so it was a bit more formal, but today it wasn’t necessary.
It was all very well thinking about it, but accidents happen all the time.
Before she finished her breakfast, Su Chunjun called back from the office and told her to wait at home for a while, and that someone would go and get good citizenship certificates for everyone in the family.
Zhu Yuyan: “Good Citizen Certificate? The Japanese one?”
Su Chunjun’s voice was a bit distorted through the phone line, but you could still hear that he was a bit tired.
He said, “Yes. Everyone in the family should get one, so they can go out.”
Zhu Yuyan had a lot of questions to ask, such as why a Japanese citizen’s license? Before the Japanese Yamamoto rushed to the school to deliver the certificate of good citizenship was just an idea of the Japanese themselves, but now it has become the certificate of good citizenship of the Kuomintang government? Do they recognize Japan’s Good Citizen Certificate too?
But all these words were not suitable to be said over the phone, so Zhu Yuyan could only say, “Okay, I’ll wait at home for a while.”
After breakfast, she sat on the sofa and flipped through the newspaper to read the pictorials, all the subordinates in the house didn’t leave, they all stayed in the room.
It didn’t take long to wait, but Driver Chen brought someone with him.
As soon as he came in, he first apologized, “I’m really sorry for delaying you.” Then he kept complaining, like a trumpet, blurting things out.
“Alas, Mr. Su can’t help it, he was scolded as soon as he went there today.”
“The Japanese have a new trick, they say the street is not peaceful, not safe for the Japanese, and order Mr. Su to provide a safe environment for the Japanese to live.”
“The dignitaries don’t care either, it’s all about Mr. So getting scolded.”
“Mr. So went to ask the officer what to do after he was scolded, and the officer told Mr. So to recognize this Good Citizen Certificate first. But it wasn’t all bad.” Driver Chen handed Zhu Yuyan a Good Citizen Certificate the size of a book spread out in both hands.
“This is yours. Mr. Su saw to it that they did it right.”
Zhu Yuyan took it and carefully examined it.
In the center of the certificate were three vertical Chinese characters, “Good Citizen Certificate”. Left, right, up and down are all grids, writing the person’s last name, what is his name, where does his family live, who are his parents and relatives, and so on, very detailed.
For example, Zhu Yuyan’s name is Zhu Yuyan, her family lives in Zhujialou, and her husband is Su Chunjun. There is no information about Ms. Zhu and others. Is it because they don’t live together? Or did Mr. Su purposely leave it out?
Zhu Yuyan said thank you and sent Driver Chen to the door.
Driver Chen said to her, “Mrs. Zhu, don’t go out lately, the Japanese are bad. In the past, they didn’t recognize our passes, so many people were stopped and questioned by Japanese soldiers, and some were arrested.”
In the past, there was no need for documents to walk around the city, no permits whatsoever, unless you went to the Concession.
Later, Su Chunjun entered the Finance Bureau and got back his first pass, which was also a pass for the Finance Bureau. But there is no use, usually go out no one to check.
And then later, it was the Japanese Good Citizen Pass.
Before Mayor Feng wanted to escape, Zhu Yuyan’s family moved back to Zhujialou from the school. At that time, there were very few people on the street, and it was not safe to go around, and the yellow buses were not good enough to be called, so Mr. Su’s car always had a pass hanging on it.
Now, even this pass doesn’t work?
Zhu Yuyan hugged her arms and asked with a smile, “What can I do then? I’m going to call someone to play cards in the afternoon, and now I can’t call anyone.”
Driver Chen smiled and said, “In this case, it should be possible to call our car to pick up people, other cars do not have passes or use old documents, it is not easy to pass when they meet the people who are checking.”
Zhu Yuyan: “Forget it, I called half of the night yesterday, so I won’t call today, thanks to you.”
She didn’t go out for a day and couldn’t get through to the French Concession, so she was in a hurry and had no choice but to wait at home.
In the evening, Su Chunjun was warmly greeted by Mrs. Su as soon as she returned.
Zhu Yuyan stood at the front door and said, “You’re back, I’ve been waiting for you all day. How was your day? Are you tired? Go, go upstairs and I’ll change your clothes.”
She dragged Mr. Su upstairs to change his clothes, and as soon as she entered the bedroom, she hurriedly asked him, “Are the Japanese looking for trouble again?”
Su Chunjun knew that she was uneasy at home today, and purposely came back early. He quickly said, “Don’t worry, things have been resolved.”
Zhu Yuyan blinked her eyes, “Resolved?”
Solved? Resolved what? How was it solved?
Su Chunjun took off his jacket and undid his tie, pulled her to sit on the bed and told her the whole story.
The Japanese do intend to further expand their power, their face is more and more unwilling to hide.
But it is a blessing in disguise.
Su Chunjun sneered: “A blessing in disguise. The important person originally wanted to just leave, but now he looks, worried that he left before my feet after the feet of the Japanese swallowed, before I found a sum of money.”
Su Chunjun took over an empty shelf, not a penny in the vault, only a bunch of IOUs. Essential Chiang originally implied that he would go and borrow money from foreign banks, but of course how to pay it back was not the responsibility of Essential Chiang. But Su Chunjun kept an eye out and never agreed.
The Japanese have been trying to find out a few days ago, and today they suddenly came to the door to make trouble. The Japanese have been trying to get a hold of them for a few days now, and today they suddenly came to the door. Seeing this, Mr. Chiang made a few phone calls and introduced a person for Su Chunjun.
Su Chunjun: “Mr. Zhang’s family is powerful and he is not too afraid of the Japanese. Mr. Zhang promised on the phone to intercede with the Japanese on my behalf, and that’s how I managed to muddle through today.”
This was the good thing that came out of Driver Chen’s mouth. Su Chunjun was equal to this being one more backer.
Zhu Yuyan let out a small sigh of relief as she asked, “Does this Mr. Zhang work? I don’t know if it’s possible to rely only on him,” she asked.
Su Chunjun: “I don’t know whether he is useful or not, but I have to flatter him first. Also, today, Mr. Jiang authorized a sum of money for me, and the money will come in a couple of days. With this money, I can pay the police first.”
Zhu Yuyan had almost forgotten that there was a police force in this city, and only remembered now.
“Right, without the army, there are still police.” She patted her thigh and said, “The police can maintain order.”
Su Chunjun smiled bitterly and said, “It’s better than nothing.”
The good people’s passes were all that could be promised. On top of that there was Japan wanting to intervene with the passes, and there was no way to agree to this one either.
The Japanese reason is that now Japan’s army has many transportation vehicles, Japan’s ship docked on the pier also has a lot of supplies, now there are a lot of people are dissatisfied with Japan, hostile to Japan, the Japanese in order to self-protection, they must use their own pass, all the cars do not have Japan’s pass and driving in the streets of the Japanese people, Japan’s military have the power to check the car, and arrest all the suspicious people.
As for what is a Japanese street?
It is the street with Japanese people on it.
Zhu Yuyan had many dirty words to say.
She leaned into Mr. Su’s arms, and the two of them snuggled up to each other, and at this moment, they were in the same agitated and overwhelmed mood. The world around them is becoming more and more vicious, they both want to protect these people they care about, but they are in fear that their ability is not enough to resist the swords and guns outside.
Mr. Su gently patted and brushed the back of her shoulders, stroking her hair, slowly, his hand slowly slipped down.
Zhu Yuyan gradually stiffened up, carefully and without a trace removed herself, and asked as if nothing had happened: ”By the way, are you hungry, do you want to eat? Let’s go, let’s go downstairs to eat.”
She was about to stand up as if she had no intention of doing so, and was grabbed by Teacher Su’s hand.
Su Chunjun came home from a hard day’s work and hugged his dear wife, it was normal for his heart to float. But he found it strange, why did Yan Yan turn out to be rusty towards him after getting married?
“Yan Yan, what’s wrong?” He asked softly, “Don’t you love me anymore?”
Zhu Yuyan stood and refused to sit down, looking at him like he was a big devil.
“Love.” She said with certainty, “It is …… that it will hurt ah!”
Su Chunjun was dumbfounded.
He never thought it would be this reason.
He thought about it and said seriously, “This way, if you hurt you tell me, and if you scratch me, bite me, kick me, or hit me, I’ll stop, okay?”
So the night passed.
The next day, Driver Chen came early and sat downstairs waiting for Mr. Su to come downstairs. Suddenly he heard Mrs. Su screaming upstairs.
“Big liar!!!”
