&;srn&;Old Shadow of the Republic of China 38

Lin's mother didn't dare to speak for a long time. She didn't know if Xingzi left had anything to do with what she said. She always hoped to move out of the Lin family as soon as possible. She has suffered so many gossips in the Lin family over the years. Everyone knows her past, who can tell her right or wrong? Yes! Now Huaizi is promising. But she is promising, and she can make a show in front of the outside. Can she still make a show in the Lin family? There are many elders living here. They all grew up watching Huaizi. Huaizi is not a person who is willing to listen to her mother's words, and she will not take off her anger just because of what others say. She looks down on the people of the Lin family, but Huaizi has not neglected in these years. Now her identity is different, but she is better in the clan.

Many kids have done a good job because of Huaizi. Huaizi always said that if he had no help from the clan, he could support this family. Yangzi and Xingzi were also fooled by the boss and the western family. No matter how ugly the whole family said, they didn't watch the two children born at the doorstep starve to death. It's just that, no matter what others say, we have to admit it. He told himself that he always told Yangzi and Xingzi like this. But he told him that the little kindness he had back then had been almost done in nearly seven or eight years. How great his sins he had to be criticized for their whole life. If he suffered it, he had to ask his son and daughter to continue to be grateful. There is no such reason.

So that day she talked to Xingzi, wanted to ask Xingzi to find Tongtong, and talk to Huaizi, and quickly moved out of the Lin family's house. Of course, there is another meaning, that is, after moving out, Xingzi's marriage should be mentioned. In a place like the Lin family, a little bit of acclaim will not come to propose marriage. But it will be different when you move to the big house. The families around are all rich or noble. There are also the Liu family who are good at giving money to the house, which runs more than a dozen shops in the city. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a daily wage. His youngest son and Xingzi Nian are all in the family.

It's a good marriage. Now it's not as good as before. I think that businessmen are not allowed to go to the table. If you have money, you will have a good life. If you marry, you will be a young lady. Life will be comfortable. Besides, Huaizi is an official, and these merchants have to be more taboo, and they are not bad for Xingzi. When I think about it this way, I feel that it's a good idea. I can't help but say a few words to Xingzi. Who knew that this girl had just gone out to study for a few days, Xingzi was so wild. At that time, she didn't even give up any of her well-behaved farts, and she took the money and left. She didn't even say hello, and she didn't even show any clues.

Listening to Lin's mother's statement mixed with half of the complaints, Yang Zi's face turned pale. He could think of Xingzi's mood at that time. His mother's words were probably very bad. You are not a seed of the Lin family. You have suffered a lot of anger in the Lin family over the years. You must be proud of me and ask the Lin family to see that pheasants can turn into phoenixes. She must have said such words, and it was even more excessive than this. He leaned against the kang, and his strength seemed to have been drained. No matter what, the Lin family took in the mother and son, and they would never have finished the relationship in this life. Xingzi was soft-hearted, and her mother's words forced her to have no place to stand.

He smiled bitterly, wiped his face and said, "Brother, buy a small yard and find a mother who is quick to serve. If she doesn't like the Lin family, then don't live in the Lin family. You are the eldest son of the Lin family, and there is no reason why you move out. Even if you are willing, the elders of the Lin family will not be willing. I eat Lin's food and wear Lin family clothes. Xingzi and I are both from the Lin family. This is my home." He looked at Lin's mother who was stunned, "You don't want to, and you think you have suffered or suffered in the Lin family for more than ten years, so you won't stay there. Can you still get divorced now? You and your father will just divorce. In the future, they will have nothing to do!"

"What are you talking about?" Lin's mother looked at Yang Zi, "You have to piss me to death! Who am I doing for?"

If you really want to be good for Xingzi and me, don’t bother. If you continue to do so, I will be shameless to face my elder brother and sister.

Yang Zi did not take on this topic, but only looked at Lin's mother: "You talked about your second sister's marriage and mentioned the Liu family. The shops in the Liu family are all big opium shops. There is no reason not to smoke when selling big opium. Now the family is not short of money and nothing, why did you push my second sister into the fire pit? The Liu family gave me a few hundred yuan and said some flattery. You are planning to sell my second sister? Haha, you love us less, but it is our blessing."

As he said that, he got up and said to Huaizi and Lin Yutong: "I'll go to school and ask." But the hope is not great. After a week, I'm afraid I'll run around the world and go there. Where can I find it?

Yang Zi shook the curtain and went out. The three people in the room were left looking at each other. Lin's mother reacted for a long time before she understood what Yang Zi said, and then she burst into tears.

Lin Yutong glanced at Huaizi, and the two of them came out of the east room and sat down in the main hall.

"Brother." Lin Yutong's face was a little heavy, "I'm afraid Xingzi will not be able to be found in a short time. Have you ever thought about saying anything to the outside world?"

Huaizi rubbed his forehead and said, "I understand what you mean. This disappearance is either arranged by someone else. If it has something to do with the Japanese, things will be troublesome. But if the matter has nothing to do with the Japanese, and if it leaves, it will probably have something to do with the Labor Party. No matter what the situation is, it is not easy to deal with. It is said to the outside world that elope! I can only elope! I have a poor boy, but I am afraid that my family will disagree, so I just leave."

Otherwise, how can I explain it? If my sister and brother-in-law are not responsible for big relationships and people are staring at every move, he will not be able to make a lie. But if someone really says that Xingzi's departure is related to the Japanese, or that he has defected to the Labor Party, then what kind of suspicion will Tongtong be about? These things seem to be stolen, but in fact, they can really be fatal when it comes to the critical moment.

Therefore, Ning Xingzi's personal morality is not related to major issues. The matter involved is a big deal.

Lin Yutong pointed inside: "I'm afraid the old lady will not accept this statement."

"I can't help but." Huaizi shook her head, "Tongtong, I really regret that I recognized you and came back." I told you to suffer these difficult things.

"I'm glad." Lin Yutong smiled, "Without the help of my elder brother, there will be no place to go. Just say that you are not here this time, and we live in the Lin family, just like living in the fortress, safe!"

Huaizi smiled bitterly, "It's my luck. I have always been alone. When you come back, I feel at ease when I go out. I know that you are taking care of you at home, and there is no one who is worried about it."

This is the meaning of brothers and sisters. Support each other and be companionship with each other.

The two sat quietly amid Lin's mother's crying. Yang Zi came back quickly and sat aside when he entered the door. "Since she has indeed participated in the Student Anti-Japanese Rescue Association. She is a little close to several medical students. She occasionally goes to the Red Letter Club in the afternoon."

Huaizi then stood up: "I'll ask someone to ask where the Red Cross Society is going to see where you might have gone?"

When Yang Zi saw Huaizi leaving, he grabbed him: "Brother and second sister probably can't find it. When he entered the door just now, someone asked his mother why she cried, and I said I couldn't find my second sister. Some people said that the girl must have run away with someone when she disappeared, so I didn't refute it. Just like that. Otherwise, my brother-in-law would be in trouble."

It was exactly what she and Huaizi thought. Lin Yutong raised her eyes and looked at Huaizi. Neither of them spoke, so Huaizi just patted Yangzi on the shoulder: "Don't worry, Xingzi was also a nurse when she went there. Even on the front line, it was a relatively safe place. She had the courage to take this step, but it surprised me. My Huaizi's younger brother and sister are different, and they have the courage to know that it was fighting against the Japanese, and this was the best result.

Yang Zi wiped his face, but his eyes turned red.

Huaizi asked about the news and found out before dark, "It should be heading to Liaodong."

Lin Yutong frowned: "Where is Liaodong?"

Huaizi shook his head: "Where is the anti-Japanese coalition that is very active."

He could say this, probably because he already knew the general where Xingzi was going.

Lin Yutong didn't ask again, and then sighed: "This is the case in troubled times. The country is destroyed and the family is destroyed, and it is scattered and displaced. Wait, maybe ten years, maybe more than ten years, as long as you are still alive, you can still see it."

Later, someone asked about Xingzi again. The Lin family was just a shameless person and never took the initiative to talk about it. But soon, the rumors spread. It was very ugly. Everyone knew that Huaizi's biological mother ran with people when she was young, and now the wild girl she gave birth to has also runs with men. It is indeed a tradition. Someone enthusiastically asked Huaizi if she wanted to ask. After all, those who do business run from all over the world and go to the missing person notice are also a small task. Huaizi refused all of them. He couldn't say anything well. This indirectly confirmed this statement. The mother ran away with people, the girl ran away with people, and she was embarrassed to death. No wonder she never spoke, and when others asked, she seemed like a firecracker.

A few days later, even Lin Dehai was alarmed. He went to the Lin family and saw Huaizi with kindness: "Just say it was me who was the leader, and told Xingzi about a marriage from another place and beat people from afar. At most, others scolded me for not being a thing, but I am indeed not a thing anyway, just scold me. Now I have all my relatives sold my daughters. What's the big deal about me? Anyway, I've been a bastard for life, and I don't care about my own son and daughter, and I have anything to do with me. I'm not wrong to bear this infamy. It's always better than when I talk about it now, you must mention your mother's original affairs. Your face is too ugly. Now in the capital, you are also a well-known person, don't take your face seriously. Your mother is so confused. You can buy the yard next to your Aunt Liu for a few dozen dollars. Open a small door from the back wall, and the door is usually locked on both sides.

, let people look at it, it's a family. But if you close the door and live your own lives. Otherwise, if you send your mother out, others will not say that you are confused, but you just say that you are unfilial. But when you live next to me, no one can tell anything. If you don't live at home, you don't need to explain to the outside world, you can think of it. You insist on living at home, but how do you live in these two houses? You are not young and should have started a family long time ago. Whether you have a suitable partner or not, it's always right to free up this house. This is the Lin family's house, so you should naturally live there. On the other hand, your mother said that it was an industry purchased by Yang Zi by the way. When brothers grow up, they will have to divide the family. Yang Zi is indeed not a seed of the Lin family, so it's reasonable to place it outside. Whoever blames you for not being an official? The more you become an official, the more you should cherish your feathers. You should think about this principle carefully."

When Huaizi heard this, he smiled and didn't care. He didn't really look at face-to-face things. Or, he had been used to it these years. As long as he had the ability, what could these gossips do to others?

But then, the outside news changed. It was said that Lin's mother wanted to marry her daughter to a family that sold big opium, and she made the decision privately. Lin Dehai was so angry that she directly told the countryside that she sent Xingzi quietly. He heard that she had collected a lot of money. Now that Huaizi was forced to ask her, she told the truth. But what can I do if the married daughter splashed out from the water? Besides, she was the one who was a man who was also accused of being Liu and insisted on asking Lin's mother to serve him. Huaizi felt sorry for her mother and could not disobey her father. So she bought a small yard next to Liu's wife, but the land deed was written with Yang Zi's name. She also specially invited a mute woman to serve her mother, etc.

Lin's mother was unwilling to move, but the deed that the house deed was written with Yang Zi's name. If she lived in it, the yard belonged to Yang Zi. If she couldn't live there, she would be sold one day. Yang Zi couldn't always live with her brother, and sooner or later she would have to set up a house.

I have to say that Lin Dehai knows Lin’s mother. So Lin’s mother moved very quickly. No matter who asks, she always buys a house for her eldest son and shows the house for her younger son. “There is no one living in the house for a long time, and the good house is defeated.” That’s what she said.

She didn't mention Xingzi's affairs at all. No matter how hard she could tell, she knew that Xingzi's trip to Liaodong was about to know, and something big would happen.

One advocated everywhere, the other bowed his head to agree, and the matter of Xingzi was turned into a fact.

Get married! Get married in the countryside!

There is a shameful person who said that the Lin family was covering up the ugly things. They must have eloped, and for the sake of face, they said that they had married to the countryside. Anyway, Xingzi didn't go out of the door and didn't go to school for a few days. No one would have thought about what she was going to do.

Those who are busy with major things have to be busy with major things, but when you live, you never miss small things. Life just flashes through rumors, and in a blink of an eye, the hot weather is coming.

Lin Yutong took a round fan early in the morning and slapped her.

"As soon as summer begins, it's hot," said Aunt Tong, shouting and buying it. "I'll collect two more trucks of watermelons in the village to store it, and I'll rely on this to reduce the heat this year."

Lin Yutong watched Aunt Tong arrange these trivial matters, she rarely interfered with them.

Bai Yuan came in from outside, wearing only a gown, and occasionally lifted up his clothes to wipe the sweat off his head. Many young men who were not particular about it are now shirtless. Bai Yuan is considered civilized.

He handed over the post, "The Zheng family asked someone to send it."

Lin Yutong took it and was Zheng Dong’s wife. She said that she was having a tea party at home and asked herself to come and support her.

Lin Yutong has always been around for such women. Ms. Yao Hua has a higher standard and is relatively civilized. When everyone talks about it, she will usually go there. But she rarely joins in the fun with the art of ordinary people. But Zheng Dong is different.

This guy has a very delicate relationship with his own family, so he has to give him face.

"Go back to someone else, you will definitely go there at that time." Lin Yutong looked at the post and agreed.

On that day, Lin Yutong put on naked makeup and just wanted to make herself look more energetic. In the summer, wearing short-sleeved cheongsam is good, but it is actually a bit restrained during action. She chose white embroidered mid-sleeved, with the hem of the cuffs open with ruffles, and the lower body is a green skirt, just as far as the ankle, the skirt is big, and she is not restricted at all when walking. She matched it with a pair of white low-heeled shoes and a small bag with white silver chain, and it was perfect.

When Lin Yutong arrived, many people arrived. Mrs. Zheng came over with a smile: "I'm afraid you won't come."

"Sister-in-law, I have to come and see you." Lin Yutong and Mrs. Zheng were kind. In fact, Mrs. Zheng is quite good, but she can't live her life. She plays mahjong and goes shopping. This is her life. When she married Zheng Dong, Zheng Dong was only sixteen years old and was a gangster on the street. She was all supported by her stitches. So it is said that Zheng Dong respects this wife very much. Zheng Dong has a son and a daughter, all of whom were born by this wife. She was sent to the United States to study two years ago. This wife likes to talk to Lin Yutong because she wants to listen to foreign affairs. This is how she is a mother. It seems that she knows more and can feel at ease.

After entering the hall, there were actually a few golden and blue-eyed women inside. Lin Yutong raised her eyebrows: "Is this?"

"Our old Zheng didn't know where we met him, so we invited him by the way." Mrs. Zheng whispered, "It's all else, but the smell on her body is too strong."

Many people really don’t like the smell of these foreigners.

Lin Yutong joked with Mrs. Zheng twice and asked her to greet other guests. She herself walked towards Yu Xiaoman and Tao Tao. These two people were here too.

"It's very rare." She went up to say hello.

Yu Xiaoman couldn't show that Lin Yutong was very familiar with him in front of Tao Tao, and smiled politely: "Mr. Jin, we are a common evil. It's really such a long time, but I have never seen Mr. Lin check the post."

"There are no women in the factory except two. What's wrong with me?" Lin Yutong looked at Tao Tao, "You said yes, Miss Tao."

Tao Tao wanted to take the opportunity to get close to Lin Yu, but Yu Xiaoman was very annoying. She didn't move here, and some things were hard to say.

The three small group of people talked in unison, and then they heard the noise on the other side.

"What's wrong?" Tao Tao muttered in a low voice, then walked towards the other side with a teacup.

Yu Xiaoman gently pulled Lin Yutong's sleeve and signaled her to go and take a look. But when she got to the front, Lin Yutong heard what the so-called British female reporter was saying. She was asking a wife to ask a woman dressed in a girl who was serving her to take off her shoes. She wanted to take a photo of the Chinese woman's little feet. The wife looked flattering and was glaring at the girl: "If you ask you to take off, you should take off, what should you pretend? The master took you to the literary meeting. Don't you also ask many men to see your feet? There are only women here today, what's wrong with taking them off?"

The girl looked ashamed and angry, and she was so scared that she shrank into a ball.

Lin Yutong frowned when she saw it. It was all women. The little feet of this woman were like breasts. Who could watch except her husband? What is the difference between this and calling a naked body in public? Another Chinese woman insisted on enforcing her compatriots for this. There was still a circle of people watching here, as if they were watching jokes, and no one stood up.

She suddenly felt that this scene was very ugly.

Watching the British journalist communicate with his peers, they spoke English, talking about how ugly Chinese women's feet are and how distorted men's aesthetics and mentality are.

Lin Yutong sneered, really thinking that no one else could understand? "Women's foot binding is a bad habit, but this cannot be a reason for you to be rude. Chinese people are sick? If I remember correctly, British women also have the bad habit of tying their waists. In order to achieve the effect of bee waists, they use straps to tighten their waists. Many women of noble origins have suffered from severe waist-having kidney disease in order to tying their waists and end their physiological childbirth. There are many people with nephritis and kidney atrophy. Isn't this a pathology?"

Isn’t this just seeing others ugly but not seeing yourself?

She said it in English, and then in Chinese, then looked at the British reporter and waited for her to speak.

They probably didn't expect to meet someone who could understand English at such a party, and they would feel a little embarrassed for a moment.

Lin Yutong glanced at the wife who forced her girl, and then said to Mrs. Zheng: "Whose wife is this? It's time to flatter foreigners, haha."

Haha, it really means everything.

Mrs. Zheng didn't expect such a thing to happen at the party. She didn't know how to answer for a while. Lin Yutong didn't expect to get her answer, so she put the tea cup directly and said politely: "I have something to do today, I'm sorry, I'll disturb your party."

As she said that, she glanced at the reporter with contempt, and ignored anyone and stood up and ran away. She felt that it would be better to participate less in such a party in the future. It was so boring!

As a result, the next day, Lin Yutong's incident of confronting foreigners at the party for some reason, spread. Principal Song's wife Yao Hua also called: "It's still your temper that makes people feel happy."

Lin Yutong hehe, it became a great thing to argue with foreigners. It can be seen that the overall mentality of the people is inferior.

Immediately afterwards, she received invitations from several women's groups, including all kinds of assistance clubs and mutual aid clubs. She pushed all the things she could, and these activities were not practical at all useful to help the Fourth Master do more calculations.

Later, Zheng Dong brought Mrs. Zheng again, saying that she apologized to Lin Yutong. She said that Mrs. Zheng was useless and that she should be shot out when she met such a person. Mrs. Zheng rolled her eyes and rolled her eyes several times, and he seemed to have not seen it. She spoke to Lin Yutong with a sense of sincerity: "We have never read any books, so we don't understand the foreign language. If we know this, why invite them to come? Anyway, I don't know any of them. I'm not all Tao Tao helped me with the staff? In the future, I won't hold such a party anymore. If you have nothing to do, please listen to the opera and play mahjong. If you can't set two tables in the restaurant, everyone will be happy. This way of socializing is more practical to follow the old methods of our ancestors. If you don't learn any foreign school anymore, girl, don't say you are uncomfortable, even if I am the master."

Men talk about men, women talk about women, and they smile and expose this matter.

The couple came here, and this time he brought a gift. Lin Yutong looked at it and it turned out to be Coca-Cola.

Several boxes of bottled Coke are the kind of small soda bottles. I saw them in Shanghai before, and there were special sales booths standing on the joints. There were also many wedding banquets and decent banquets in Beijing, and they all regarded this as a choice other than necessary wine. But Lin Yutong had never bought them. She kept two bottles, and the rest was all told to move them to the front and share them with the students.

He turned around and handed the Fourth Master a bottle, then asked him: "What did you say to Zheng Dong just now?"

The Fourth Master has never liked to drink these things. "I don't want to drink them for a hundred years." He said and put them aside, and then he talked about the serious matters. "Bai Kun was a little busy recently, as if he was in a hurry to raise food. Zheng Dong is now secretly doing grain trading. I told him that he was a merchant in Shanghai, and he didn't think much about it. When the time comes, he asked Mike to come forward, and he had a flour mill in Shanghai. He was not afraid of people checking the purchase of grain. He just poured it out from Shanghai and transported it out."
To be continued...
