Chapter Forty-Six: Returning the Favor

In this way, Shao Mengru was rescued by two strangers and escaped the fate of being robbed up the mountain by the bandit Lu Baichuan.

And Mengru's two life-saving benefactors are none other than Wu Sunchen and his wife who went north to Taiyuan.

It turned out that since the Kuomintang and the Communist Party cooperated to resist Japan, Wu Sunchen and his wife, who had been engaged in underground work in the south, received a notice that they should immediately go to the office of the Eighth Route Army in Taiyuan, Shanxi Province to report and prepare to accept a new mission.

After receiving the notice, Wu Sunsin and his wife immediately went north. After crossing the Yellow River from Yuncheng, in order to avoid the eyes and ears of the military commanders, the two began to ride horses and march towards Taiyuan by land.

It was also on the day when Lu Baichuan intercepted and killed Tang Wenbao that Wu Sunchen and his wife happened to pass by in this area. After hearing the gunshots, the two went to check out out of kindness, and happened to witness the scene of Tang Wenbao being killed.

Originally, Wu Sunsin did not plan to wade into this troubled water and get involved in a complicated vendetta.

However, when Wu Sunsin's wife, Che Yuzhen, saw that Shao Mengru was about to be taken away by bandits, she repeatedly asked Wu Sunchen to save people out of a woman's sympathy.

Wu Sunchen respected his wife very much, and the bandit did go too far, so he and his wife rescued Shao Mengru.

After Wu Sunchen and his wife rescued Shao Mengru, because her husband had been killed, they sent Shao Mengru to the Tang family by the way.

Due to the special identities of the two, it is really inconvenient to expose. Before and after sending Shao Mengru to the Tang family, Wu Sunchen and his wife hurriedly said goodbye and left.

was finally rescued, and before Shao Mengru could complain after seeing her in-laws, she was scolded by the surprised Tang De and his wife!

It turned out that Tang De had already learned that the kissing team was intercepted and killed, and his son Tang Wenbao was killed, and he even learned the news that Shao Mengru was kidnapped by the enemy Lu Baichuan from the porter who fled back.

The loss of a son in old age, the white-haired person sent the black-haired person, which made Tang De already extremely sad. The daughter-in-law was kidnapped by bandits, which made Tang De almost the laughing stock of the whole county.

Now, his daughter-in-law actually ran back by herself! He also kept saying that he met a good person to save him!

Isn't that when you're a fool!

This woman who doesn't abide by women's morals, even if she is harmed by bandits, she doesn't forget if she steals her life, but she still has the face to run back to find herself! Isn't this blatant disgusting to yourself!?

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, Tang De looked at the woman who was crying in front of him, and his heart became nameless, and he scolded Shao Mengru for not abiding by women's morals and being the reincarnation of a bad star. It doesn't matter if he killed his newlywed husband, but now that he has been ruined by bandits, he still has the face to live in the world, and he has lost his face and Shao Defang's face.

After scolding enough, Tang De took a leave of absence from Shao Mengru in front of everyone. and sent the family to send Shao Mengru back to Shao Mansion.

Her husband was killed, she was divorced in public, and she was ruined by Tang De. After Shao Mengru went home, she washed her face with tears every day, and soon became seriously ill.

The only thing to be thankful for is that although Shao Mengru's father Shao Defang is also a well-known local squire, he is not as pedantic as Tang De.

After this incident, Shao Defang was also under tremendous pressure. Not only was her daughter ridiculed by outsiders for losing her integrity and morality, Kefu lost her star, and Shao Defang also became the talk of the whole village after dinner.

But despite this, Shao Defang did not blame his daughter in the slightest, but comforted his beloved daughter again and again.

Knowing his daughter Mo Ruo's father, no matter what outsiders say, Shao Defang always believes what his daughter says. Someone did save her, and she didn't lose her integrity. As for Kefu and the like, it's even more nonsense. Zi is silent and strange to God, Shao Defang, who was born as a scholar, does not believe in this set at all.

For this matter, Shao Defang's only regret is marrying his daughter to Tang De's family. Although he had heard of the bad things Tang De had done before, he always felt that it was the nature of businessmen to pursue profits, and it was not a bad thing.

It wasn't until this incident happened that Shao Defang completely saw Tang De's true face. This guy has done so many bad things and won retribution, and he actually hurt and slandered his daughter, which is really hateful!

At this point, Shao Defang also knew that regret was useless. Now that her daughter's name has been ruined, how to make her daughter happy in the second half of her life is the first thing. In order to comfort his daughter, Shao Defang resolutely transferred half of the family property to his daughter Shao Mengru, hoping to find another son-in-law for his daughter, even if it was a door-to-door son-in-law.

After being bedridden for a month, Shao Mengru finally recovered her health under the careful care of her family and walked out of the blow.

However, it seems that because of the stimulation of this incident, Shao Mengru seems to have changed as a different person, and never mentioned marriage from then on, and devoted herself to studying medicine. Not only that, Shao Mengru also took the initiative to help her father take care of his business.

Seeing his daughter like this, Shao Defang didn't say much, but slowly handed over a lot of business to his daughter to take care of, and he was also idle.

……

After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, due to the rapid rout of the Nationalist army, it was not long before Shanxi became a Japanese-occupied area.

During this period, Lao Wu was ordered to establish an underground party organization in the southern Jinnan area to collect intelligence on the Japanese puppet army. During a purchase of medicinal materials and materials for the rear, Lao Wu met Shao Mengru, who was already the head of the Shao family's firm.

One and two years, although there was only one side of the relationship at the beginning. But Shao Mengru still recognized Lao Wu dressed as a businessman at a glance.

Unexpected meeting, both of them were quite surprised. When he learned that Lao Wu was coming, for the purpose of repaying his kindness, Shao Mengru sold the urgently needed materials to Lao Wu at a very favorable price without saying a word.

In this way, due to the preferential price, the two sides have done a lot of business.

During this period, although Lao Wu never said who he bought the materials for, the smart Shao Mengru had already guessed it, but he never asked.

After several smooth large transactions, not only Lao Wu, but even Lao Wu's superiors noticed Shao Mengru.

Because of this woman's great help to the Eighth Route Army in the war of resistance behind enemy lines. The underground party and the Eighth Route Army attached great importance to it and listed it as a key object of cooperation. Slowly began to try to purchase some urgently needed materials for the Eighth Route Army from Shao Mengru.

No, this time, due to the continuous large-scale sweeps of devils in the base area during this period, the combat missions have increased dramatically and a large number of wounded and sick have been brought in.

Due to the long-term blockade of the base areas, there is an extreme shortage of medicines, especially Western medicines, which has directly led to the recent death of a large number of wounded and sick people due to ordinary surgical infections.

For this reason, the Eighth Route Army's Jinnan Regional Headquarters and the underground party specially raised a sum of funds and entrusted Lao Wu to try to purchase a batch of medicines urgently needed in the base area.

After receiving this task, Lao Wu attached great importance to it, and immediately used the network of contacts he had built up over the years to inquire in many ways, and even sent people to the Guotong region to inquire about the news.

In fact, the first time he received the task, Lao Wu thought of buying it from Shao Mengru. After all, Shao Mengru's younger brother returned from studying medicine in Japan and ran a clinic. However, due to the brutality of the Japanese blockade of the base area during this period, many villages that provided supplies to the base area were swept away, and many people died.

Now Shao Mengru's line is very important to the base area, and it is easy not to make mistakes, so Lao Wu has not gone to ask for help.

It wasn't until after inquiring for half a month that Lao Wu, who had made no progress, really had no other way, so he had to visit Shao Mengru.

Considering that this matter was too difficult and too dangerous, Lao Wu didn't have much hope when he ventured to Wenxiao Village to find Shao Mengru.

Who knew that what surprised Lao Wu was that as soon as Shao Mengru heard that this batch of medicines was for the wounded of the Eighth Route Army who fought devils, he agreed without thinking about it, and even took an unprecedented penny!

Shao Mengru told Lao Wu that he would make up enough of these drugs within half a month. When the time comes, as long as Lao Wu sends someone to take it away at night.

……

Shao Mengru's great help to the anti-Japanese troops made Lao Wu very pleased. When Lao Wu asked Shao Mengru what he wanted, Shao Mengru suddenly proposed that he wanted to join the party organization.

Regarding Shao Mengru's request, Lao Wu did not directly agree, after all, this matter is not something he can decide, and he must report to his superiors.

It was also on the way back to the base from Wenxiao Village that Lao Wu met Zhao Shixun and his party, who had failed to ambush Nie Yunshan and fled for their lives.

After sending two of Zhao Shixun's subordinates to the rear hospital, Lao Wu returned to the rear office of the Eighth Route Army in the southern Jinnan region to report about the medicine and the chance encounter with Zhao Shixun.

Not long after Shao Mengru successfully handed over the medicine to the underground party organization in Yuncheng, an unexpected accident occurred that Lao Wu did not expect.
