Chapter 331
Su Chunjun gave Zhao Shuli a week, but Mr. Zhao overshot the mark by selecting a new aunt that very evening.
At the dinner table at the Zhu Family House, he grandly introduced the recently appointed lady to Mr. and Mrs. Su – without, of course, the lady herself being present.
Su Chunjun put down his chopsticks and applauded him: “A dancing lady. I wouldn’t need to ask when you met her, would I?”
Zhao Shuli glared at him and smiled at Zhu Yuyan, “We’ve known each other for a few months now, Xiaoqing is nineteen years old and has studied at a Japanese women’s university for a year.”
Being the wife of the family, Zhu Yuyan had to listen carefully to this Ms. Lu Xiaoqing’s information, as it was obvious that the two of them would have to deal with each other a lot in the future.
Ms. Lu’s family was not bad – once. Her father was a man of letters like Yang Xuhe, who wrote newspaper articles, but Mr. Lu was more talented than Yang Xuhe, and had been president of several newspapers.
Mr. Lu clearly had some business acumen. He made some money by placing advertisements in newspapers, so Miss Lu used to be a big lady with a bicycle and several servants at home.
But the situation turned bad, and Mr. Lu’s newspapers were all closed down in the campaign against pornography that led to Yang Xuehe’s imprisonment, and the Lu family got into a lot of debt. When Mr. Lu sees that things are going badly, he leaves his wife and children behind and runs away.
Mrs. Lu was a small-footed wife who could not read or write, so she hung herself from a beam when she saw her husband run away.
Miss Lu’s name was Lu Qingqin, her father ran away and her mother died, but fortunately there was still an aunt in the family. The aunt used to be a dancing girl in a ballroom, but she was redeemed by Mr. Lu and gave birth to a little son. I thought that from then on, there is a lifelong dependence, but unexpectedly, the wind and water turn, Mr. Road ran away, Mrs. Road hanged himself, the family only left a teenage young lady and his six-year-old son, the aunt saw this, had to go back to her old job, and back to the ballroom as a dance lady, but she has been in good health for many years and gave birth to a child, not than the previous youthful and beautiful, the family is still overstretched, and often do not have enough to eat, a family of hungry people can only drink water to hunger! The family was starving and could only drink water to survive the hunger.
Road Qing string ate aunt when the dance lady earned back the rice, eat half a year, but also throw down when the lady when the reserve and pride, the sea also did the dance lady. She was young and educated, but also in school to learn a serious social dance, the ballroom introduced her to play the “Women’s University students” as a sign again and again, for her to earn a lot of fame, just into the business of the fledgling would have been more expensive, her aunt to see the situation, for her to advise, teach her to protect their virginity, and to look for a chance to find a man to hurry up! She was told by her aunt to protect her virginity and to find a man to marry her quickly.
Lu Qingqin took the stage name Xiaoqing, wandering in the ballroom for a year, finally met the man of his life, Mr. Zhao, immediately committed to life.
Zhu Yuyan listened with great interest and asked, “When did Mr. Zhao and his wife see eye to eye?”
Zhao Shuli sighed and laughed: “The husband and wife are really the same, their words are all barbed.”
What does it mean to see eye to eye with a beautiful woman? He only half praises her.
Zhao Shuli: “I feel sorry for her.”
Su Chunjun and Zhu Yuyan together: “Oh~”
Zhao Shuli slapped the table and laughed, “You two couples, you’re really good at bullying people.”
Zhao Shuli just came to this time with the dignitaries, also for “work reasons” had to go out to socialize, during the period in order to “integrate into the collective”, although not willing, but also with the dance lady danced a few dances. He is quite discerning, and at a glance he fell in love with the young and beautiful Ms. Qing, who has studied and is young and beautiful. Compared to other men with fat brains, the handsome Zhao Shuli immediately became Lu Xiaoqing’s Prince Charming.
Lu Xiaoqing took this man down without saying a word and entrusted her innocence to him.
Zhao Shuli heard of her life after more pity, so the money to the road family re-rental of the house, but also do not ask Lu Xiaoqing to go to the ballroom to make money, is considered to be wrapped up in her.
Zhao Shuli sighed: “I would have liked to stay here for a year and a half, and then leave some money for her on the way out, which is also considered to be the whole of the friendship between each other.”
As a result, the plan could not catch up with the change, Jiang dignitaries left him behind to Su Chunjun swept the line, and he had the need for Mrs. Diplomacy, and simply Lu Xiaoqing over the open road, half-true and half-false to accept her.
After this storytelling, several people have already eaten dinner, changed to another small hall to drink tea and chat.
Su Chunjun asked, “So are you going to take her away later?”
Zhao Shuli: “Where can I see the future now? Let’s talk about it when the time comes.”
Su Chunjun: “You want her to work for you, can you trust her?”
Zhao Shuli laughed: “What can I ask her to do? It’s just a few banquets and some specious words. She can’t even sell this information for a few dollars.”
Su Chunjun was still not quite sure, he felt that Zhao Shuli’s move was too childish.
Zhao Shuli laughed and said, “Pure Jun, the intelligence room is not lost every day, the real important information can not come to you and me, can be from you and me out of the hands of the things, early leakage everywhere!”
Su Chunjun smiled and said, “Thanks to Brother Zhao for teaching me, it seems that I am too young to understand the doorway here.”
Zhao Shuli: “Your vigilance is quite high.”
Privately, Zhu Yuyan asked if she wanted her to invite this Ms. Lu to be a guest in her home.
Su Chunjun shook his head and said, “Forget it. This Miss Lu also do not know where to come out, surnamed Zhao pushed her to go to the top of the thunder, you and I had better not get involved.”
Zhu Yuyan was startled: “Didn’t you say it’s not an important matter?”
Su Chunjun explained to her, “That’s not the way to put it. It’s not like this is the only time it’s important. People see her around Zhao Shuli, and she can often say something important, so even if she doesn’t know, people will think she knows what’s going on.”
Zhu Yuyan suddenly realized!
This is how you don’t know you know, but others think you know.
Su Chunjun: “I think this woman is dangerous, you’d better not deal with her. Don’t get to know her either.”
Lu Xiaoqing’s danger did not lie in the fact that she was a dangerous person, but that she was in a dangerous situation. If Zhu Yuyan knew her, there was no guarantee that Lu Xiaoqing would not bring danger back to her when she encountered it.
Zhu Yuyan knew the importance, although her heart inevitably had a few sympathies for Lu Xiaoqing, and also had a similar situation, but she didn’t dare to cross the line one step. She wasn’t alone, she had several people attached to her as well, there was Teacher Su, as well as Ms. Zhu and the others. This made her even more afraid to take risks easily.
In the next few days, she went to visit Ms. Hirata on the river bridge one day, and played cards with Mrs. Shao and the others the other day, during which time Zhang Ma came to see her with freshly made sauces, fearing that she and Ms. Su would go hungry.
She pulled Zhang Ma did not let go, hated Ms. Zhu a few people can not be pulled to the eyes to see, since you can not see it can only look at a few more Zhang Ma to quench their thirst.
Zhang Ma rushed back and said, “I’m in a mess there too, and you’re in a mess here too. Now that you’re a wife, you need to grow up.”
Zhu Yuyan: “I’ve grown quite a bit. Mr. Su even complimented me on how well I’m doing.”
Zhang Ma: “Come on, if you sit at home and play cards every day, your teacher Su will praise you for being virtuous.” She pinched her sleeve and said, “It’s been a few months, you haven’t made any new clothes yet, right? What year’s old clothes are these? To be a wife and still wear old clothes from when you were a girl, aren’t you ashamed of yourself?”
Zhu Yuyan listened to Zhang Ma who gave her a head full of the wife’s experience.
It turns out that as a new wife, you have to wear new clothes for the first three years, so that you don’t fall out of fashion, are stylish, and don’t lose face.
Zhang Ma: “When your mom married the first year, she bought new clothes every day and threw out three to four hundred dollars a day.”
Although Zhang Ma’s mouth is disgusted, but in her heart, she still thinks that Ms. Zhu was living a good life, compared to Zhu Yuyan, who married a man and still wears old clothes is aggrieved.
Zhang Ma: “You’re not as good as when you weren’t married.”
Zhu Yuyan was afraid that Zhang Ma would go back to Ms. Zhu and tell her that she was wearing old clothes, and quickly promised that she would go to the department store right away to buy new clothes!
Only then was Zhang Ma satisfied, and quietly taught her, “You have to spend Mr. Su’s money first, so he can’t afford to find another woman!”
Zhu Yuyan was horrified, “Have you heard anything?”
She had already realized that it seemed as if the nonsense she had made up about Hirata Yoshiko had somehow managed to get out! Tell me, obviously she said it to the Japanese, how could the Chinese still hear about it! It’s still a language away.
Mrs. Zhang: “I’m living in a rented area, and I’m surrounded by yellow-haired monsters, so what could I have heard?”
Zhu Yuyan breathes a sigh of relief.
Mrs. Zhang said grimly, “All men are philanderers! Your father, who was raised by your mother, is not honest, and Mr. Su, who is capable, is even less honest. You, you have to be careful, you can’t relax!”
Zhu Yuyan repeatedly promised to be vigilant against Mr. Su’s philandering ways.
That night Mr. Su and Mr. Zhao came home to see the results of Mrs. Su’s shopping, the sofa is piled up with large and small department store bags.
Mrs. Su was trying on new hats, and the two grannies pushed large standing mirrors and praised them.
“Mistress is so pretty.”
“Mrs. Su looks like a fairy!”
The heavenly fairy-like Mrs. Su turns her head to see Mr. Su and Mr. Zhao and smiles, “So it’s you guys who are back, I didn’t even notice.” She runs to Su Chunjun like a flower butterfly, spins around playfully and asks, “Does it look good? I bought a new dress.”
Mr. Su couldn’t pull it out of his eyes when he saw it, saying repeatedly, “It’s pretty! Really nice!”
Mrs. Su bought a dozen skirts, a dozen shirts, seven or eight hats, four or five pairs of shoes, tired legs like lead.
Zhao Shuli looked at the size of the bags piled up all over the living room, and then looked at Mrs. Su, who said that her legs hurt from shopping, and then looked at Mr. Su, who didn’t ask his wife how much she had spent today, but only cared about his wife’s legs, and shook his head and laughed.
Zhao Shuli: “Pure Jun, you’re really a lover.”
Mr. Su, who squatted down to check out Mrs. Su’s leg, had to stand up, just waiting to go back to the bedroom to look at it again.
Mrs. Su smiled and said, “Brother Zhao is laughing at me. I bought something for you guys too, it’s over there, go take a look.”
Zhao Shuli then went to look, saw two boxes on the table, opened it, it was two ties, a treasure blue, a big red.
Mrs. Su: “I don’t think this tie thing is too much, it’s easiest for you men to change your clothes, just change a tie. These two are both quite solid, the blue one is for Mr. Su, and the red one is for Brother Zhao.”
Zhao Shuli: “Mrs. Su is really hardworking, laboring you to still think of bringing us something.” He pushed the red one to Su Chunjun, saying, “Chunjun is young, young people should wear pretty ones, the red one is for you. I’m older, I’ll wear the blue one.”
Su Chunjun grabbed the blue one first and said, “Only older people should wear the pretty one to look young. I’m young, instead I should use a steady color.”
Seeing this, Mrs. Su asked, “Don’t you like the red ones?”
Both men are very shrewd, know what to say at this time, answered in unison: “Like, like very much!”
