Chapter 88

There is a strange sight in Zhu’s building today, the poor man Ma’s family on the first floor has a new child.

The child cried, the building up and down the neighbors heard the noise. The woman holding the child came twice, the building was also seen, and now see the child ran into the Ma family, immediately someone to inquire about gossip.

Ma of course will not say that the child surnamed Yang, or rumors together, Zhu family mother and daughter will certainly be damaged reputation, perhaps the child will follow the bad luck.

She held the child said: “There is a woman said to look for relatives, came a few times, let me help her look at the child, she disappeared.”

Neighbors shook their heads when they heard: “You’ve met a liar! This child eighty percent have what problem!”

This is a common scam on the street. In this world where you can barely feed yourself, how can you feed others? Even the biological ones can’t.

Ma Da Ma shook her head: “I see this child is not sick, can talk and count, will also call mom called aunt, eating, sleeping, pooping and spreading are all good, I guess just do not want to raise.”

Not long ago, the Ma family gathered in front of a bunch of watching and gossiping.

Some people say: “Maybe it is the building out of the illegitimate child …….”

“Those schoolgirls fooling around, maybe.”

The world is going downhill, and there is a lot of chaos on the streets. Small people daily struggle to live, only to the mouth this mouth of rice, the body of this piece of clothing, quite not accustomed to those who have nothing to do blind movement to engage in the doctrine of young men and women. There is food and drink still do not live well, blindly tossing what!

In the past, Yang Xuhe taught students at home and collected disciples, and finally put the female disciples to sleep. This all happened right in front of us. The neighbors saw it with their own eyes!

There are even people in the building who think that girls shouldn’t be allowed to go to school, they should be kept at home. Otherwise, when you meet such a beastly thing like Yang Xuhe, the moral appearance of coaxing female students to undress and bring them to the couch, how painful it is for the parents of the students to learn that ah!

Alas, advanced, enlightened, and finally put the child harm, this world really do not let people live ah.

Neighbors made a round of comments, but did not relate the boy to the Zhu family.

Zhang Ma came down to send clothes and quilts, quietly stuffed ten dollars, the neighbors saw only as Zhu family good will. Anyway, the Zhu family has always been kind, poor to poor, face has been doing very well, is a standard poor generous.

Mrs. Zhang gave the money to Mrs. Ma and said, “Buy milk for the children every day. I’ll get you two more pounds of rice, you cook rice soup and feed him.”

Auntie Ma didn’t refuse the money, not because she thought the child had nothing to do with the Ma family, but because the Ma family didn’t have any money. Otherwise, in terms of the Zhu family’s kindness, the Ma family should be allowed to adopt this child.

Ma Tianbao is still unable to find a good job, but the benefits of moving here are obvious. It’s not just that the Zhu family doesn’t charge rent, it’s also that living here is much safer than living near the dump, so you don’t have to worry about being stolen after you fall asleep, and Ma Tianbao dares to go out and look for a job during the day and leave his parents at home.

Moreover, the wages in this neighborhood are much higher than those in the dump, and the number of people who need to write and count is also much higher than those there. After Ma Tianbao cleaned up, even if he was lame, he could still find a better job than before by taking out his student ID card. He is now not only do some transcription work such trivial things, some places need someone to write some small text, even if it is a notice, notice of such things, but also to find a will shake the pencil, the word should be written beautifully. Ma Tianbao in the university for four years, pen and brush writing, writing are good. He added these entries, all of a sudden greatly relieved the Ma family’s financial pressure. Ma’s family money is no longer only see the outgoing, not see the incoming. Even Ma Tianbao himself was relieved that he didn’t have to wait for the money to run out to take the whole family to jump into the sea together.

The family has money, Ma Da-ma is no longer in a hurry to go to the persuasion of the side to find a job, Ma Da-ma can not leave the people, she usually go out half a day can be locked up in the house, go out for ten days and a half a month on the can not.

Now that she has this child with her, the Zhu family will give a little money, and she is more at ease to stay at home.

Ma Da Ma: “Don’t worry about leaving the child with me, when we find a good family, I’ll take the child there.”

Zhang Ma nodded her head and gave two more sentences, then carefully looked at the child, touched his stomach to see if he had eaten enough, and looked at his hands, feet, stomach, back, and buttocks to see if there were any dark wounds from twisting and pinching, all of which were put to rest before going upstairs.

Su Chunjun came back at nine o’clock in the evening. By this time, the Zhu family’s mothers and daughters had already eaten dinner and were all gathered in the living room waiting for him.

Yang Yuyan was ordered to copy the words, and her notebook was full of long and short sentences like “He is pretty, she is pretty, he is smart, she is smart”.

She couldn’t even lift her head to copy the words, and as she mumbled the words, Yang Yuchan took the opportunity to discuss the engagement with Zhu Yanshu.

“The invitations have already been ordered, 500 copies, but they all need to be copied by hand. Should we hire someone to copy them, or take them back and copy them ourselves?” Yang Yu Cicada held up her notebook and bit her ear with Zhu Yanshu.

Just for this invitation, she ran through no less than ten stores! From the pattern to the paper to the size, and so on, all to compare one by one, bring back to Zhu Yanshu to see, asked to change three times a day, changed her head to be bald, and even gave birth to wait for her to get married not to engage in invitations, only in the newspaper to publish a thing such a silly idea.

Zhu Yan Shu frowned, said: “Take fifty …… no, take a hundred back to write our own, dedicated to close friends. The rest ask someone to write it, give them the list, calculate the price, remember to check one by one when you get it back, lest you write wrongly and send it out and then make a fool of yourself.”

“Okay.” Yang Yucan ticked off this item, and then talked about the cost of the carriage and sedan chair for the engagement ceremony, and the rest of the flowers, drinks and dishes, etc. Although Su Chunjun said to leave it to him to do, but the banquet and drinks should be ordered by them first before letting him go to Zhang Lu, or else it would be too much of a waste of time to rework it if it doesn’t meet their expectations.

The door rang, Zhang mom in the kitchen heard, looking at the time to guess is Su Chunjun, hurriedly wiped his hands to open the door, while saying: “should give you a key, but also save every day to come back to have to knock on the door.”

The Zhu family all have a consensus, Miss Yang and Mr. Su married certainly still want to live in the Zhu family building. Mr. Su didn’t even have to prepare for a new room, he just needed to get another key and move to a bigger room.

Su Chunjun smiled, did not dare to give the purse to Zhang Ma to take, hang up their own, take off their coats and hats and walked in, a glance to see the sofa split into two sides, Miss Yang second volleyball study, see his eyes steeply put out a strong light, the smile blossomed.

Su Chunjun can only first look at her with a hard look twice, footsteps are still the first to the other side of Ms. Zhu and Yang big sister walked over to greet, part of the knowledge of etiquette.

Su Chunjun: “Good evening. Ms. Zhu.”

Zhu Yanshu sat up straight and asked him, “Good evening, have you had dinner?”

Su Chunjun said, “I had a bowl of wonton soup on the way.”

Zhu Yanshu then called out to Zhang Ma, “That doesn’t stop the hunger. Zhang Ma, cook some food for Mr. Su.”

Zhang Ma didn’t leave, she had been waiting by the side, and said, “I’ve left some food for Mr. Su, so you can eat it once it’s warmed up.”

Zhu Yanshu invited Su Chunjun to sit down, “Sit here for a while. Yan Yan, pour tea for Mr. Su.”

Only then did Yang Yuyan brightly put down her pen and studies to pour the tea.

It seems that the matter of pouring tea for Mr. Su Chunjun is hers, and no one else comes to grab it or stop it.

She held the tea over and sat down as a matter of course, so she could participate in the conversation.

Su Chunjun holding the tea naturally want to thank Miss Yang, thank you have to ask Miss Yang how the results of today’s students.

Su Chunjun: “I went to see Prof. Dai today and asked for leave for you.” He also revealed in passing that he was going to get engaged, and asked Professor Dai to be the male guest of honor and attend in place of his parents. If possible, he also wanted to ask Professor Dai to help invite the principal.

Professor Dai readily agreed!

Yang Yuyan was still a bit lost about not being able to go to school, and hurriedly asked, “How is it at school? Did something happen?”

Su Chunjun took a sip of tea and shook his head, “Everything is fine.” And it’s better than he imagined.

A few days ago, Yang Yuyan helped dig the tree pit at the school, and today he went and already saw trees planted.

Cherry blossom trees.

I don’t know when the principal got in touch with the Japanese, the school planted cherry trees, the school became a Sino-Japanese Friendship School, and a Japanese flag was put up in front of the school, causing the gendarmes that used to wander around in front of the school to have a few less of them.

The school already had a Japanese language program, and now there will be a few more courses, exclusively taught by Japanese teachers.

Regardless of what happens in the future, the students and the school are now a lot safer.

In short, the school doesn’t have to worry anymore, this fire can’t burn the school.

Su Chunjun didn’t dare to talk more with the second young miss Yang. He was about to be engaged, so he had to be even more strict with the rules. In front of Ms. Zhu and Miss Yang, he chatted for five minutes and then ended it hastily, turning to Ms. Zhu, he said, “I didn’t inquire where Mr. Yang was imprisoned, but the problem isn’t too big, there won’t be any problem with his life, as long as he pays the full fine and writes a good confession, he can come out.”

He had deliberately gone to the gendarmerie to inquire, and with his friendship with the high captain of the gendarmerie, it was a breeze.

Captain Gao said that the instructions from above weren’t strict, and thought that they didn’t intend to take the lives of this group of cultured people, after all, they were also afraid of causing a bigger discussion. So they just pick the famous ones to arrest, first let them write a confession, after writing the confession and then pay the fine, people can be released.

Except for the ones who came in cursing and swearing, they were not even tortured, but just locked up in a cell and starved. Whenever they were willing to write a confession of guilt, they could eat.

As these people are all locked together, each one is no longer human, the high captain can not go to the prison cell by cell to ask which one is Yang Xuhe, Su Chunjun also did not intend to rescue Yang Xuhe, know that he was captured on the line, so to determine that the person is in the prison, is not being tortured, and will not have to worry about life, he came back.

Zhu Yan Shu sighed: “The prison is cold and wet, alas, it is also really tortured.” After sighing this sentence is finished, this side of Zhang Ma to bring over the meal, she urged Su Chunjun to go to the dining room to eat.

“Quickly eat while it’s hot, it won’t taste good if it gets cold.” She said.

Su Chunjun then got up and went to the dining room.

As Zhang Ma set the plates, she said, “I heard that man’s wife was also arrested, what’s going on?”

Yang Yuyan followed her over and hearing this gossip, she hurriedly asked, “Du Chunxue was also arrested? Why was she arrested?”

Su Chunjun said while sitting down, “Oh, probably because they don’t have a marriage license.”

This is something he does know. Seeing that not only Yang Yuyan had followed him here, but Zhang Ma hadn’t left either and seemed to be curious as well, he explained it to them in detail.

This was actually an important initiative of the government, truly introduced to change the current social chaos.

Since ancient times, when a marriage was formed between two surnames, it was necessary to have the order of parents and the words of matchmakers. Men and women from the betrothal onwards, there will be gengzhi, married also have to have a marriage certificate, in order to prove that men and women of the union is reasonable and lawful.

Nowadays, although there are laws, can be married or divorced, but it does not mean that men and women can really be free to combine, or to have a certificate.

That proof is the marriage license.

Without a marriage license, it’s not a legal marriage, but illegal, and it’s a crime, and the woman’s parents can sue.

Between Yang Xuhe and Du Chunxue, 80% of them do not have a marriage license.

This is something that Yang Yuyan missed: “They didn’t go to get a license?”

Su Chunjun said, “You have to have your parents’ consent to get a marriage license.” It doesn’t matter if Yang Xuhe is an adult, Du Chunxue simply can’t get her parents’ consent, and her father is going to sue Yang Xuhe. So they didn’t dare to get a marriage license, across the board no one cared before.

Yang Yuyan was surprised, “You still need your parents to write a consent form?”

Su Chunjun laughed, “It’s definitely necessary, otherwise how would people know if your wife was abducted? This is an initiative to protect women from being abducted, it’s a good thing.”

But the fact is, nowadays, not even 10% of people are willing to get a marriage license, 90% of them organize their own weddings or don’t even organize weddings, a man and a woman rent a house and call themselves husband and wife.

Although the law is well-intentioned, it is meaningless if people do not abide by it.

But because of this, there are more names to fine people when they are arrested.

The gendarmes don’t even bother to investigate if the couple has a marriage license anymore when they arrest them, because basically they don’t. For those who have parents to prove that they are legally married, naturally everything will be fine, although they still have to pay a little bit of money, but it is still much less than a fine.

If you can’t find parents to testify that you’re legally married, you’re screwed. The gendarmerie will make the woman choose whether to sue the man for abduction or to write her own plea of guilty to self-indulgence. Once this confession is written, it is an admission of being a lowlife, and it is a very serious and terrible devastation for the woman.

After all, prostitutes are registered, and those who do business on their own are arrested.

All this, Su Chunjun didn’t need to tell Second Miss Yang any more, so as not to upset her.

Yang Yuyan did ask about Du Chunxue: “What about her?”

Su Chunjun: “Her parents will be notified and allowed to redeem her.”

Zhang Ma said, “That father of hers was going to hang her, where would he go to ransom her?”

But probably because of the deep love between father and daughter, Master Du still went to redeem Du Chunxue.

Not only did he go to ransom his daughter, but he also accused Yang Xuhe of abducting women.

The newspapers were already reporting that these famous literati had been taken into the gendarmerie, with all kinds of whispers circulating and all kinds of bloody speculation that these famous literati had to have gone through the ten major tortures when they were taken in.

At that time, there was news that Mr. Du had accused Yang Xuhe of abducting women, and some people in the newspaper immediately expressed their solidarity with Yang Xuhe and his “beloved wife”, arguing that their relationship was sincere and touching, and that they were united by love, not abduction.

However, it may be that the government is behind Yang Xuhe this time, or it may be that Yang Xuhe is locked up in jail this time, so that Mr. Du added a lot of courage and insisted on charging Yang Xuhe with abducting Du Chunxue.

This sensational drama gradually spread in the newspaper, but also burned into reality.

On this day, a reporter came to the door to interview the Zhu family mother and daughter.

It happened to be broad daylight again, Zhu Yanshu was still diligently running around the poker table, Yang Yucan was still busy for a bouquet of flowers and a cup at the engagement banquet, and Zhang Ma was conversing with the gods at the temple church as usual.

The only one left at home was Miss Yang, who was bored, and when the knocking sound rang out, she opened the door while mechanically chanting “I’m eating, he’s eating, she’s eating, they’re eating” under her breath.

Outside the door stood a young man wearing an ill-fitting suit jacket, big forehead and big nose, as soon as the door was opened he asked in rapid succession: “Excuse me, are you Ms. Yang? Mr. Yang is your father, right? Do you know Mr. Yang and his wife? Do you give them your blessing?”

Miss Yang Er was so full of Russian that she didn’t catch the string for a moment and asked in Russian, “Have you eaten?”

The young man in the suit was confused.
