Chapter 359

A whisper gradually spread through the city.

It was said that if you could buy a train ticket, you could leave!

The rich people of the whole city went crazy over this whisper!

Everyone was not stupid.

In the past, they didn’t run away because they thought the Japanese wouldn’t come in, or the government wouldn’t be so useless, or there were so many foreigners in the city, that there wouldn’t be any more fighting.

But now, life is getting harder and harder every day. Hooligans, police and Japanese soldiers come to the house every day, either asking for money or checking for a good citizen’s license, and they can’t buy food. Adults can’t go out to work and earn money, and children can’t go out to school, so they have to stay at home.

If it is a girl, they are worried that she will be robbed or abducted and will end up in a dirty place.

If it’s a boy, we can’t rest assured that he’ll become a hooligan, or that he’ll be taken by the Japanese army to be a soldier.

Run! We must run! Even if you have to leave your family behind!

It’s not an easy decision to make.

In addition to the extremely rich people, most of the rich people living in the city sitting in cars and eating western restaurants, their family business in the city, the family house can not move away, the company can not move away, property can not move away, and even the family’s subordinates can not be taken with them, to go, can only be a family of old people to go together.

As soon as they go out of the city, they will become poor. Women can no longer wear cheongsam and play mahjong, they have to do the laundry and cook for the whole family, and if men can’t find decent jobs, they can only go to do hard labor, and for men in their forties and fifties, they can’t compete with the youngsters for the physical work.

The days of going out don’t look good either.

But the days ahead of us are really unbearable.

So even though they knew that they might not be able to survive even if they ran out, after they heard that they could buy train tickets and run out, it still caused a considerable storm.

Mrs. Shao’s stomach had already had its ups and downs. That Japanese ronin wanted to marry her, but she had to pay for the marriage and live in her house in the future, and, surprisingly, he didn’t mind if Mrs. Shao continued to hang out with her lovers, because that’s what she relied on to make money. If she didn’t make any money, the family wouldn’t have any money to spend, and he wouldn’t have any money to go drinking and gambling.

This called Mrs. Shao disgusted to no end. The Japanese ronin even said he was willing to join the family and change his surname to Shao – he had always thought that Mrs. Shao’s surname was Shao.

Mrs. Shao had long been up to dumping him, only the baby hadn’t been born yet, so she couldn’t find a chance for a while. Now she gave this Japanese ronin a lot of money every day, letting him go out to gamble and drink and not letting him stay at home.

However, Mrs. Shao was not trying to meet her lover; she was too pregnant now to meet any lover.

She was to sell train tickets.

This is the second lady Zhu specially gave her the favor, let her look at the price, meet the rich and black hearted, might as well raise the price high, if it is not much money, just charge a little.

Ms. Zhu also asked her if she wanted to take a ticket to leave.

Mrs. Shao, who had spent all her family’s money to buy a boat ticket before and ended up with a basket of water, was surprised to hear that she could leave with a train ticket, and her heart was like water.

What else was there for her to leave?

Her life had long since lost all hope.

She is here, or leave, not both live.

She would only live by men, only this one way of living.

But after a lifetime of relying on men, she has finally learned one thing: men are not human beings.

They have no conscience.

You want to rely on him, he will at any time to dump you, let you knock a mouth of blood, knock off a mouthful of teeth, knocked to the head.

It’s the same everywhere, in this city, at least you can live in a nice big house, you can hire underlings, and as long as you have money, you can buy food and drink. And there were plenty of rich men here, so she wouldn’t have to live too badly.

Besides, she didn’t want to live too long. There was no point in living for a hundred years. There was nothing to regret if she died the next moment.

The only thing she wanted to send away was this child in her belly.

As long as this child is sent away, it will be fine.

Mrs. Shao stroked her slightly undulating belly and said to the terrified Mrs. Chen in front of her, “I won’t lie to you, your family of five, your husband plus your in-laws, plus you and your child, a total of one hundred and fifty U.S. dollars, that’s a very fair price. I know that your family has two stores and a building, so, you write a note and set the store and the building against me, even if you’ve paid for them.”

Mrs. Chen is over thirty years old, but looks like fifty, she is very thin, not this period of time starvation thin, she has been married since the family noodle store to do work, every day to do full fifteen hours, from the day is not yet bright in the kneading bread buns, until dark still do not stop.

Her in-laws were in charge of one store, and she and her husband were in charge of the other. The two families had been working hard to make money, but when the Japanese came in, it all went down the drain.

They wanted to hold out until the situation was better, and then they came out again, but they couldn’t make ends meet day by day. They were originally a small business, but because there are two stores and a building, the former bureaus to the current Japanese, every family to find his family to ask for money.

Every year there were military expenses and munitions apportioned to his family for their joyful donations.

Now they finally decided to run.

After making this decision, my in-laws and husband cried every day, only Mrs. Chen could not cry. For her, whether she opens a store or not, the days are just as hard.

Mrs. Chen: “I, I have to go back and discuss it with my in-laws.”

Mrs. Shao nodded and didn’t rush her, on the contrary, she was now very able to empathize with women who were oppressed by family and society just like her.

Mrs. Shao: “Then I will write an IOU, take it back to your family, if you agree, put your fingerprints on it and bring it here, along with the deed to your house and land. Make your decision quickly, or else if there are no more tickets for this trip, you’ll have to wait again for the next one.”

Mrs. Chen promised repeatedly and left with a thousand thanks.

The same situation happened to Zhu Yuyan, but the person who came back to beg her was an acquaintance.

It was Mrs. Liao, the wife of the director of the Fire Services Bureau, who used to be Zhu Yuyan’s partner.

A few years ago, the Fire Services Bureau was unable to pay salaries, and Director Liao used to support not only Mrs. Liao’s family, but also two small public houses and two dancing girls, and as a result, once they ran out of money, they were immediately approached by loan sharks.

The director and Mrs. Liao’s family were in a real mess for a while.

Director Liao sold two concubines, sold two small public houses, and gave up a very beloved dancing lady – another dancing lady saw the situation is not good and ran away, did not give the director Liao a chance.

Mrs. Liao, on the other hand, sold her beloved jeweled ring, as well as one of the family’s daughters who was not born to her.

The family is struggling to make ends meet.

The family’s subordinates are slowly resigned, the two families from day to day quarrel into day to night fights, Liao director also has two sons, not Mrs. Liao biological, but also barely raised in the family.

Yesterday, Secretary Liao discussed with Mrs. Liao about sending the two sons to the Japanese to become Japanese soldiers to please the Japanese.

Mrs. Liao did not think that Liao Secretary even give up the son, although that is not her birth, but at least also raised for such a long time. Mrs. Liao can not afford to give up, the heart is even cooler, think Liao director even son do not want, certainly will also leave her.

She heard about the train tickets and came straight to Zhu Yuyan.

The story about the Zhu family is really a legend in Mrs. Liao’s wife’s gang.

Zhu Yanshu is really a big lady, but met a bad man, the family fell and became an abandoned woman, had to follow Mrs. Liao in the wife gang. Mrs. Liao also did not rarely chew Zhu Yanshu’s tongue, she is Zhu Yanshu, three pity mixed with seven points of complacency. She enjoyed Zhu Yanshu’s misfortune, and every bit of help she gave Zhu Yanshu made her feel especially happy.

Her friendly treatment of Zhu Yanshu was like putting an aura of a good person on herself.

She did consider herself to be a kind and good person because of this.

It wasn’t until Zhu Yanshu’s second daughter found a good son-in-law that the Zhu family suddenly shook like smoke coming out of their ancestors’ graves!

Mrs. Liao watched Zhu Yanshu’s family of women and children get up again, and the better the women of Zhu’s family lived, the more she felt bad in her heart.

So, later Zhu Yanshu became a female professor, separated from their wives gang, no longer with them to play mahjong gossip, Mrs. Liao also did not find up, just in the wives gang gossip scolded Zhu Yanshu developed and do not recognize the old friends.

But today, Mrs. Liao came to the door, based on the old friendship with Zhu Yanshu.

She asked Zhu Yuyan to buy three tickets.

Wish Yu Yan see is Mrs. Liao this acquaintance, know her family has money, nonchalantly lion’s mouth: “This …… now tickets are very scarce, you want three in one breath …… I really do not dare to do the Lord. ”

Mrs. Liao: “Money is not a problem.”

Zhu Yuyan: “The current price is one thousand dollars a piece.”

Mrs. Liao opened her handbag and immediately counted out three thousand dollars.

Zhu Yuyan: “……” It’s going to be less.

But since the price has already been set, it’s not good to raise it again. Zhu Yuyan went back to her room to get the train ticket – the date and number of the train ticket was typed on a roller dipped in red clay.

Then take it out and give it to Mrs. Liao, “Leave tonight.” She said.

Mrs. Liao took the ticket and stuffed it into her handbag, Zhu Yuyan personally sent it to the door, since she had received the money, the old days of friendship with Mrs. Liao also came to her mind.

Although there have been some unpleasant, but the former people, now can see less and less.

For the sake of being Chinese, Zhu Yuyan shook Mrs. Liao’s hand and blessed her, “Mrs. Liao, have a safe trip.”

That night, Mrs. Liao took her two sons, locked Director Liao in his room, took all the money in the house, and took the train.
