Yisheng's car slowly stopped outside the gate of Ji's mansion, but she didn't get out of the car immediately, and her ears seemed to recall Mrs. Liao's words with a smile of relief: "I really didn't expect that the enthusiasm of the people of Shanghai to resist Japan and save the country was so high, I think we can do more." I will try to reach out to overseas Chinese and patriots to solicit overseas donations and international solidarity. Yisheng, I know that your brother-in-law is Ji Muhuan, president of the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce, and you go to him to mobilize him, so that he can use his influence to call on the Shanghai business community to fully participate in the war of resistance. ”

In fact, she didn't hesitate at all when she agreed to Mrs. Liao, but she had no reason to refuse."

After so many years, his past with her has long since passed, especially now that it is such a critical juncture to save the country, if she still has any mustard in her heart and does not go to him, she does not know how to take care of the overall situation.

"Xiaosheng, you're here!" Yizheng was so excited when he saw her come in that his eyes were red, although he hadn't seen her for a few days, but in such a troubled world, every time he parted, he might never see him again, and therefore, every time he got together, he cherished it.

Yisheng held his sister's hand, his eyes were red, he hesitated for a moment, and then spoke: "Sister, the world is so chaotic now, you might as well leave Shanghai with Aunt Ling's brother and sister-in-law to avoid Shanghai for a while." ”

She knew the severity of this war, and she had her own worries and responsibilities, so she would not leave Shanghai, but she couldn't bear to let her relatives stay in danger.

Yizheng said: "Mu Huan had this plan before the war, but I haven't heard him mention it recently, or I'll ask him, Xiaosheng, you can also go with us." ”

Yisheng didn't want his sister to worry, so he didn't answer her words, but just asked: "Is my brother-in-law here, I have something I want to find him, to see if I can let him exert his influence and encourage the Shanghai business community to join the anti-Japanese resistance." ”

When she saw that Mrs. Sheng was also present, she made her words clear, Mrs. Sheng remained silent, but Yizheng said without any scheming: "He has a lot of things to do these days, and he lives in Xingyuan, why don't you let the driver send you over to find him?"

Yisheng was about to refuse, but Mrs. Sheng had already taken the lead and said: "Yizheng, what are you talking about? It's so chaotic outside now, even if there are people around Yisheng to follow, it's better not to run around, and we'll tell you the same when Mu Huan comes over later." ”

"But I'm worried that if he gets busy......" Yizheng hesitated.

Mrs. Sheng smiled, "You kid is a dead brain, this is not something you have to say in person, if he really can't come tonight, you can go to the awakening garden to talk to him, isn't it the same." ”

Yizheng was still hesitating, Yisheng had already smiled faintly and nodded slightly, "Just according to what Aunt Ling said, sister, then don't forget to tell him, what is the result, just call the Lu Mansion tomorrow and tell me." ”

As she spoke, she stood up and tried to say goodbye, but she heard someone upstairs stop her, "Wait." ”

She turned her head in some surprise to see Bai Cuiyin standing on the stairs.

And Bai Cuiyin also looked at her fixedly, and after a while, Fang said lightly: "You come up with me, I have something to tell you." ”

After she finished speaking, she ignored Yisheng and went upstairs.

Yisheng paused for a moment, looked at her slightly emaciated back, and still followed.

Yizheng frowned slightly, and said to himself: "I don't know what Aunt Yin is looking for Xiaosheng, don't embarrass her." ”

Although Mrs. Sheng was also a little strange, when she heard her daughter say this, she made a straight face, "You don't care what you do, worry about your own business." You and your uncle have been married for so many years, and your stomach hasn't moved at all, and you're not in a hurry?"

Yizheng's face turned white for a while, and he whispered: "Mu Huan said, I don't want to have a child so early." ”

"What words, when I was your age, you were two years old," Mrs. Sheng said angrily, "Yizheng, how many times has my mother told you, we women always have to have a child to rely on." You should listen to your husband on the side, but in this matter, you can't let him take the medicine again?"

Yizheng heard his mother say this, and his face was low, but he shook his head vaguely.

When Mrs. Sheng saw her like this, she was even more angry, and she couldn't restrain herself, so she said half angrily and half anxiously: "You don't have to hide it like this, in my opinion, according to your appearance, you can't sleep together for ten days and a half months, and you don't need to take that medicine, you can't conceive even if you want to!"

Yizheng was said by his mother like this, and he didn't dare to speak up more and more, and he was aggrieved in his heart, and silently shed tears.

She is a traditional and conservative lady, and her biggest wish in life is to teach her husband and children, how can she not want to have her own children.

However, no matter how strong her own desire is, it is not as important as her husband's wishes, and her husband told her that she did not want to have children so early, although she was sad and regretful in her heart, she listened to him unconditionally, and silently endured her mother's urging and scolding again and again, but never told him.

She even thought of countless excuses for him in her heart to explain, maybe his father's death had caused him too much harm, or maybe he was busy with business...... In fact, even without these excuses, she is always considerate of him.

When Mrs. Sheng saw her like this, she became more and more angry, "Cry, cry, cry, every time I talk to you, you only know how to cry, how can you tie your husband's heart without a child, what if it is ......"

She endured it, went to see her daughter again, and finally didn't say anything when it came to her mouth, but the anger in her heart couldn't be calmed down, so she had to hate and say: "If you really want to be like that, that's when you cried!"

After she finished speaking, she brushed her sleeves and went upstairs, leaving Yizheng alone in the living room crying silently.

At the same time, Yisheng knocked on Bai Cuiyin's door, listened to her answer inside, and then pushed the door open and walked in.

Bai Cuiyin listened to the sound of the door opening and the approaching footsteps, but she didn't look up, just looked at the iron box on the table, after a long time, she gritted her teeth, took out a few gold bars from it, and in the end, she was still reluctant, put back one, and then put the rest of the gold bars in her hand on the table and pushed them to Yisheng's side.

"Aunt Yin, is this?" Yisheng was a little surprised and asked.

"Isn't it everywhere that is raising money for the anti-Japanese resistance, I will give this to you, you will not swallow it privately, and use it where it should be used. Bai Cuiyin didn't look at her either, and opened her mouth with a hint of indifference and slight mockery.

Although Yisheng has always been unfriendly with her, and her tone is not good, but at this moment, she can't help but be a little moved, and said softly: "Thank you, Aunt Yin." ”

Bai Cuiyin smiled self-deprecatingly, "No, I'm not for you, it's my own conscience." I've been with your dad for so many years, and although he just used me as a stand-in, I can't forget that he took me out of the cannibalistic place, and at that time, he treated me so well, although it was just a void, it was always better. ”

Yisheng couldn't help but feel a little sorry when he heard this, and he didn't know what to say, so he had to be silent.

And Bai Cuiyin obviously didn't intend to ask her to speak, so she continued to talk to herself, "When your father was dying, he said that he would donate the money for the funeral to guard Shanghai, and I am not afraid to tell you now, this gold is what I have saved by myself over the years, of course, not all, I will give it to you now, and it can be regarded as doing something for your father in the end." Besides, although Shanghai is not my hometown, I have lived here for decades, and I still don't want it to be occupied by the Japanese. Although this money is not much, it is a little bit of my heart, you can take it. ”

After she finished speaking, she stopped talking, ignored Yisheng, and just went to lock the tin box again and carefully.

Yisheng looked at Bai Cuiyin, was silent for a long time, and finally spoke slowly, for the first time in her life, she abandoned her prejudices, and there was some sincere emotion in her voice, "Thank you, Aunt Yin." ”

The feelings in her words Bai Cuiyin naturally couldn't be heard, her eyes flickered, "No, I didn't treat you well before, but now it's ......"

She stopped, didn't say any more, just smiled half desolate and half self-deprecating, "That's it, don't mention it, thank you don't need to, as long as you don't curse me in the future, it's enough." ”
