Chapter 146: Busy raising a family in a foreign land 146
Li Xiaoya was also hearing about this for the first time and was slightly surprised.
Yukiko Matsui has an arrogant face and contempt in her eyes. She is such a good-for-nothing waste.
If it weren't for the blindness of that man named Wu Ziyang, comfort stations would have been the final destination for women like these.
It's a pity for this woman. She even betrayed the only person who was sincere to her. Isn't it right that she should be despised?
"Your task now is to get your husband, the chief patrol officer who loves you, to participate in this, understand?"
Yukiko Matsui took a sip of red wine and narrowed her eyes slightly, looking innocent yet dangerous.
Li Xiaoya nodded quickly and said "yes" respectfully.
"Is there any follow-up to the investigation into the tragic plight of those members of the Green Gang last time?"
Li Xiaoya thought for a while before saying:
"Ms. Xuezi, it is rumored that there are ethnic minorities in southern Xinjiang who use poisonous insects to control snakes, insects, rats and ants..."
After listening to Li Xiaoya's story, Yukiko Matsui's eyes sparkled and her tone became a little excited:
"Is there such a thing? Your East is truly magical and rich, but it's a pity that it fell into the hands of you lowly people and is useless..."
Seeing that the young lady was attracted by this strange statement, Li Xiaoya lowered her eyes and said affirmatively:
"Yes, it is recorded in ancient books and various documents."
Yukiko Matsui understood what she was interested in and no longer paid attention to Li Xiaoya who was hesitant to speak next to her.
It was a long time after Matsui Yukiko left that Li Xiaoya breathed a sigh of relief.
She would never forget the time when she went to Japan with her parents and saw unprecedented prosperity and power.
Those clean and polite people excitedly and gently told them about the greatness and prosperity of the Co-Prosperity Sphere.
To reach the end, one always has to endure all kinds of thorns.
She remembered the beautiful and gentle Miss Fangzi rubbing her head and saying softly:
"Masako, the suffering we endure now is to make us worthy of the prosperity in the future. We will be remembered by history in the end."
The birthday party ended without any incident.
Wei Miao and Lu Pingsheng returned to Juhuali Alley. They summarized the information they got from the dance and went to sleep.
The next morning, as soon as the sun came out, the cicadas began to chirp, and the relatively cool summer breeze ruffled the quiet morning.
Lu Pingsheng and Wei Miao yawned as they arrived at the Xiao Jiangsu Wonton stall.
The lively discussion came to an abrupt end.
The neighbors who used to greet him enthusiastically were now silent, and even the most slick boy, Xiao Jiangsu, looked at Lu Pingsheng with complicated eyes.
Little Nanjing looked straight at the two of them, with anger clearly visible in his eyes.
"What are you looking at, little brat?"
Lu Pingsheng smiled and looked into the boy's dark eyes.
Little Jiangsu was afraid that his son would say something wrong, so he kicked him and spat:
"Go in and get some coal. Can't you see the fire isn't enough?"
Little Nanjing was stubborn and refused to move, looking at Lu Pingsheng with gloomy eyes.
"Uncle, you'd better let him speak, otherwise he will be angry like a toad." Lu Pingsheng smiled casually.
"Brother Lu, the newspapers say that you are a running dog of the Japanese. Is that true?"
In one sentence, the already awkward atmosphere became even more awkward.
Due to the lack of information and the deliberate actions of some people, at this time, the attitude of ordinary people towards the Japanese was only dislike, but not hatred.
Especially the people in the foreign concessions, over the past hundred years, have been trained to be extremely tolerant and have only one way of living.
This land has been divided up by various countries since the previous dynasty, and is home to all kinds of foreigners.
Many ordinary people also made their livings under the control of foreigners. Naturally, they did not have that much hatred towards their parents who provided them with food and clothing.
When the coalition forces of the previous dynasty invaded, many ordinary people even helped lead the way when the foreigners came because they hated the officials. The foreigners robbed in the front and the people picked up the spoils in the back.
For ordinary people like Xu Ayu and Xiao Jiangsu, being able to live in a warm house, have enough food to eat and survive is enough.
Many people have never heard of the fall of the three northeastern provinces. Those remote places are too far away for the working people who have to work hard all day to make a living.
On the contrary, children like Xiao Nanjing would be indignant when they saw the parades on the streets and the leaflets in their hands.
"Mr. Lu, please don't mind me. He's just a kid, his hair hasn't even grown out yet, he can only talk nonsense."
Little Nanjing choked and yelled:
"I didn't. It's all in the newspapers."
Wei Miao took the newspaper from the hand of someone next to him, and was shocked to see that the cover was a photo of Lu Pingsheng and Kudo Hisayoshi, who was wearing a military police uniform, shaking hands.
The front page headline of the newspaper was an unknown tabloid, but it contained long paragraphs of patriotic remarks.
The book gives a very clear introduction to Lu Pingsheng's family background, and also explains Kudo Hisayoshi's identity as a military police officer.
By the way, he described last night's banquet as extremely luxurious, criticizing the fact that these so-called celebrities were only interested in living a life of luxury and disregarding the devastation of the country in the face of national crisis.
"Huh? Isn't this the newspaper where Miss Li works?" Wei Miao's clear voice broke the strange silence.
After hearing this, Xiao Jiangsu quickly asked, "Miss Li, is that the Miss Li who rented a room in your house and later married Patrolman Xiao Wu?"
Wei Miao nodded, blinked his innocent eyes and said:
"Miss Li and Little Angkor were there last night too! She even had a great conversation with a Japanese royal lady."
Lu Pingsheng didn't want to explain. No matter what he had done, Xiao Jiangsu and the others would not be able to understand it.
But seeing Wei Miao clumsily defending him, he still felt a little warm in his heart.
"I don't know if it's because I broke up with her and Ziyang so many times."
Wei Miao sighed, "I think it was because Little Wu and Miss Xu talked a few more words that made Miss Li unhappy."
Speaking of Xu Manhua, many people's memories are immediately brought back. Many people still remember the farce of the two women fighting for a husband.
Lu Pingsheng said bitterly: "Manhua still can't forget Ziyang."
Everyone saw the unspeakable secret from Lu Pingsheng's lost face.
Things between men and women are the most attractive.
Granny Cui spoke up at this time, "Mr. Lu, last time I heard, you and Miss Xu are engaged?"
With such explosive gossip, no one paid attention to the newspaper anymore.
At this time, the common people didn’t care whether you served the French or kowtowed to the Japanese.
As long as you live in style, have money and power, you are successful.
Lu Pingsheng looked at the gossiping faces and found that only Xiao Nanjing's eyes were filled with suspicion and anger.
I don’t know why, but looking at the young man’s appearance, Lu Pingsheng felt happy.
If one more person awakens, it means there will be more power. In the future, there will be more and more people like Xiao Nanjing. . .
After returning home, Lu Pingsheng made a phone call with a gloomy face.
Wei Miao covered her mouth and went upstairs to work on her small assembly line.
