Chapter 444: Survival in Hong Kong (8 (19)
Only then did Xiaocui know that her son-in-law's official was not as big as Xiaoyu said. In Xiaocui's life experience, power is more terrible than rich people. Because the powerful can make the rich become nothing overnight, and even their lives cannot be saved.
But now her son-in-law doesn't even dare to build a small bungalow, and Chang Baogui, the former owner, still lives the life of a rich man. In Xiaocui's view, the people in the sub-district office preach to them every day that in the new society, everyone is equal is simply bullshit. If everyone is equal, Chang Baogui lives in such a big mansion alone, but she and her daughter and son-in-law are crammed into a few dilapidated small rooms? And this is because her son-in-law is treated as an officer in the army?
Originally, Xiaocui has not been very peaceful since she came back from Hong Kong, and the most beautiful period of her life always comes to mind, although the man later sold her into the land of fireworks, but he took her into another life. Now letting her follow her daughter and son-in-law to live this kind of coarse life is even more uncomfortable than taking her life.
It seems that the son-in-law is unreliable, so he can only find a way to make himself live a comfortable life. Xiao Cui, who had a different idea, had already put the words she promised Chang Baogui behind her, and at this time she began to think about how to extort more money from Chang Baogui, so as to realize the luxurious life of a rich man who lived in a western-style building, wore beautiful clothes and ate delicious food.
But let Xiaocui go to Chang Baogui in person to ask for money, she was still a little stunned in her heart, and the servility she had cultivated in front of Chang Baogui for many years could not be changed at once. So she hit Xiaoyu with the idea. Because Xiaoyu is her daughter, she knows best.
Xiaoyu, who has been pampered and raised by her wife as a young lady in the Chang Mansion since she was a child, is now living this kind of coarse life with her son-in-law, and she has long been dissatisfied with her words from time to time. In addition, after listening to Xiaocui's description of the paradise of the rich in Hong Kong, I felt that it was a great loss to marry a big man with her appearance and talent! But I forgot the joy in my heart when I first learned from the school teacher that a commander of the army had taken a fancy to me! The envy, jealousy and hatred of her classmates made her flutter for a long time.
When Xiaoyu learned the truth from Xiaocui's mouth that she couldn't go to Hong Kong with her, she was extremely angry. If it is not always expensive. Her life must be completely different from what it is now! Maybe she has married into a wealthy family in Hong Kong and lives the life of a rich man's wife. This is Xiaocui's cleverness, she only said what she had to say, and swallowed the brothel experience that she couldn't say and the money that Chang Baogui gave her as compensation. In this way, it not only aroused Xiaoyu's **. also tempted Xiaoyu's dissatisfaction with Chang Baogui. At the same time, he also supported and appreciated Xiaocui's idea.
With Xiaoyu's support, Yiqiē naturally became different. Xiaoyu is the wife of the special operations director in charge of Shanghai's special operations department to assist the new government in assisting the new government, and her small request to the special operations department will still give some face to do so. So Chang Baogui began to fall into the trouble of having people from the army come to check from time to time. He also went to Lawson about this matter, and Lawson also called to inquire about the matter, but unfortunately this matter was done privately by some people, so he naturally would not be stupid enough to stand up and admit it. Although Rosen has a high rank, it is not good to overstep his authority to personally inspect this matter, and in the end, it will be over.
In desperation, Chang Baogui thought that Xiaoyu's husband was the chief of the soldiers who came to check whether they harbored enemy agents, so he came to find Xiaoyu. I want Xiaoyu to help him talk to the chief and talk good things, don't let the people below go for three days and two times, but his family is looking for enemy agents, no one can stand it.
When I went for the first time, Chang Baogui followed the new requirements of the new society and the habits of the people in the army. only brought a few catties of fruit to the door, but unfortunately Xiaoyu did not greet people with a smile like in the past, but had a cold attitude, and from time to time there were some unclear mockery in the words, which made Chang Baogui a little confused, and he didn't know what he had done to offend the aunt in front of him!
However, with Chang Baogui's forty years of life experience, he soon smelled something. The second time I went. In addition to bringing some more valuable items, he also sealed five gold bars. As soon as Chang Baogui left, Xiao Cui immediately snatched the small box of gold bars in her hand, and Xiao Yu saw her like this, with some unhappy looks on her face.
"Mother, why are you in a hurry? That's what Chang Baogui brought to me to do something! Xiao Yu said as she reached out to take the box containing the gold bars back from Xiao Cui's hand.
"You're my daughter. What's yours isn't mine! I'll help you put it first, and then take it out when you need it! Xiao Cui couldn't help but take the box into her room, naturally went to hide the gold. Xiao Yu wanted to come back, but thinking about what Xiao Cui said, it was right, and then recalled that Xiao Cui had kept all her life savings for herself before leaving Shanghai. There is no temper.
After Chang Baogui gave this heavy gift, only a period of peace passed, and soon people began to come to the door to investigate. In desperation, he had to prepare another heavy gift to find Xiaoyu, just like that, giving a gift can be quiet for a while, and it will be repeated after a while. And he was distressed by Luo Yinyin's pursuit at that time. The two years were mixed together, and his excitement about the new life brought about by the new society was diluted a lot.
Xiaoyu and Luo Yinyin are not people he can afford to offend. They are all the new magnates in the new society. It's just that one relies on her husband and the other is a real new magnate. He also thought about whether to leave Shanghai, but he was reluctant to bear the ambitions that had just begun, and in the midst of entanglement and hesitation, he was calculated by Luo Yinyin.
On the surface, Chang Baogui had to marry each other because he lived in the same room and bed with Luo Yinyin, but in fact, when he really looked deeper, it might be an excuse that Chang Baogui gave himself. Otherwise, he could have gone to Lawson and asked Lawson to come forward to help him refuse.
After marrying Luo Yinyin, Xiaoyu's small actions soon stopped, Chang Baogui is not a stupid person, after a little inquiry, he naturally knew that Luo Yinyin found the leader to sue the chief of the special operations department, saying that his subordinates were not strict, and let his subordinates do things that disturb the people under the pretext of investigating the enemy's special affairs, and at the same time do blackmail.
This kind of thing was a big deal for both the army and the new government when it had just been liberated. You must know that Shanghai has only been liberated for a short time, and public order has not yet stabilized, and many citizens and national capitalists are waiting to see the difference between the new government and the army and the former national government and the army, and during this period the army is carrying out a rectification campaign to prevent some soldiers who are not strong in discipline from making mistakes. Let those enemy elements lurking in the shadows take the opportunity to come out and disturb the troubles and undermine the unity of the army and the people.
Therefore, Luo Yinyin's state immediately put Xiaoyu's husband in a predicament, and inexplicably became a representative of corruption and depravity. Originally, he was still very unconvinced, because since he joined the revolutionary ranks, he has always listened to the party, followed the party, never dared to make mistakes, and lived a simple life in peacetime as the requirements of the army. There is nothing at all that represents corruption and depravity.
It's a pity that Xiaoyu's husband didn't know that his political career was buried by Xiaoyu, who fell in love at a glance in the welcoming team of female students when he entered the city.
Therefore, when the military department placed in front of him a large number of gold bars and silver dollars that had been searched from his house, he immediately became dumbfounded, and after a long silence with his head down, he asked to see Xiaoyu. The people in the military department were somewhat sympathetic to Xiaoyu's husband, so they did not refuse his request.
When Xiaoyu appeared in front of his man with red and swollen eyes full of regret, Xiaoyu's husband, who had a lot of hatred for Xiaoyu who had buried him, softened his heart again, and he was married for a hundred days overnight, no matter what, Xiaoyu has been a husband and wife with him for more than half a year, not to mention love, there are still feelings.
"Xiaoyu, I can't protect you in the future! I'm gone, you have to take care of yourself! Xiaoyu's husband was silent for a long time, and only said such a thing to Xiaoyu, and didn't say a word of reproach! Xiaoyu's husband knew that what was waiting for him was going to be shot when he saw someone from the military department put the large amount of gold bars in front of him. That's why he made such an instruction to Xiaoyu. At first, he wanted to see Xiaoyu to ask the reason, but the moment he saw Xiaoyu, he gave up. When Xiao Yu heard that, her tears began to leak wildly, and at the same time a howl came out of her mouth like a wounded little beast.
"Comrade, it's none of his business! It's all me and my mother! He didn't even know! Xiaoyu cried for a while, stood up violently, knelt in front of the staff of the military department with a 'plop', and howled.
"It's too late to say that now! But the problem between you and your mother, we will send someone to deal with it later! The staff of the military department looked at Xiao Yu with some disgust, who was crying with tears and snot on her face, why did she bother in the first place? I really don't understand what is so good about this kind of delicate female student, as soon as many people in the army enter Shanghai, they hurriedly marry a young and beautiful female student! It turns out that those who don't have wives in the countryside are okay, and many people who already have wives in the countryside say that they are arranged feudal marriages! divorced his native wife and married a foreign student.
Hmph, are foreign students so easy to marry? No, the one in front of me had an accident because his wife was not virtuous, right? During this time, there were really a lot of troop leaders who had accidents for this reason, and it seems that the commander was right, in the final analysis, it was a political and ideological problem, and these people just couldn't withstand the temptation of beauty! It's better to have a problem now than to fall for the enemy's beauty trick one day and commit treason because of it.
