Chapter 445: Suffering (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Outside Pattaya City, a group of people are waiting by the side of the road. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThese people are all Chinese upper-class people in Pattaya. After the formation of the Siamese military junta, they had become de facto control of Pattaya. The Pattaya City Government is in the process of preparation. The new mayoral candidate, as well as most of the officials, will be selected from among them.
The Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army defeated the Japanese army and casually overthrew the original Siamese government, so that the Chinese in Siam could turn over and call the shots. Therefore, these Chinese people have tasted the taste of being the masters of their own affairs. Previously, they had been oppressed by the Siamese natives and the Japanese themselves. Many people even have to compromise on everything. Now it's finally good, and the good days are finally coming.
They were notified that a unit of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army would be stationed in Pattaya to recuperate. At the same time, soldiers will be recruited in Pattaya. The men came and waited for them. Everyone knows that the Siam military government is nothing more than a subordinate government agency of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. The supreme power is still held by the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. It can even be said that their fate is completely in the hands of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. Don't say whether they will be officials or not, even their lives are decided by the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. Among these people, to a greater or lesser extent, they are related to the Japanese himself. Of course, some of them had to compromise in order to survive. But some people simply go to the sun for the sake of profit.
Although, the junta was formed, and will liquidate those who collaborated with the Japanese * himself. However, this is something that takes time. These people all have a hint of luck in their hearts, thinking that they may be able to get away with it. If you can mix one official and one half-job in the new government. Then, the possibility of getting through the test is naturally greater.
Not far from the road is the slums of Pattaya. A lot of poor people live here. Compared to Pattaya's urban areas, it is undoubtedly much dirtier. The people who live here are desperate people. There are not only a large number of Siamese natives, but also quite a few Chinese.
Although, the Chinese are relatively wealthy overall. However, there are still many poor people among the Chinese. The situation of these poor Chinese is even more difficult. Not only did they have no food and clothing, but they were also oppressed by the natives. Every year, people die of torture.
In a thatched hut, a gray-haired man was lying on the bed. On his head, gauze was over. I don't know how long it hasn't been changed, and the gauze has turned black.
A middle-aged woman, sitting on the edge of the bed, saw the man's appearance, and secretly wept. I think at the beginning, they were rich people in Pattaya! As a result, it has now fallen into this step.
"Get well, old man. Hua'er has been away from home for a year, and I don't know what is happening now, whether she is dead or alive! The middle-aged woman's face was sad.
The man lying on the bed listened, and the corners of his eyes continued to cry.
Suddenly, the door opened. A young girl walked in.
"Mother, this is my father's medicine, feed him quickly." The little girl said. She is only sixteen or seventeen years old, and she is in the period of a girl's youth. However, the clothes on her body were full of pudding. A pair of hands, too, became rough. There was an accident in the family, so that she, the young lady, had to go out to do hard labor to support the family.
"Ah Xue! Thank you for your hard work. The middle-aged woman couldn't help but lament when she saw the tiredness of the little girl.
"Mother, I'm not hard. As long as the eldest brother can come back, we have hope. The little girl said.
"Your eldest brother has been gone for more than a year, and now I don't know if he is dead or alive! There was no word at all. The middle-aged woman sighed.
"Mother, the eldest brother must still be alive. Now, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army has defeated the Japanese themselves, and we Chinese no longer have to be oppressed by the Japanese themselves. Big brother will definitely be back soon. The little girl was convinced of this.
The middle-aged woman nodded, indeed, the son who left home has become the greatest expectation of their family.
After asking the man on the bed to take the medicine, the family began to prepare lunch. They had no money, and most of the money they earned from hard labor was used to treat the girl's father. So, there was only a little multigrain for lunch. There was no meat at all. When their family was not in decline, even the descendants of their family would not eat such food. Not to mention themselves.
Now it's different, and it's good to be able to have a bite to eat.
Just then, the door was kicked open. The wooden door was already badly damaged. Now, it was even more kicked and torn apart.
"Ahh Both mother and daughter screamed. Apparently frightened.
Outside the door, more than a dozen Siamese natives are standing there. The first one is the boss of this slum.
"Yu family, the money you owe us should also be repaid. Including interest, it's a total of 500 baht. The leader is a middle-aged Siamese native with a thin body, dark skin, and a mouth with black teeth.
His name was Lapun, although he wasn't in great shape. However, he was ruthless. In this slum, it has been mixed for more than 20 years. It has gradually become the most powerful boss in this slum.
When Yu's family fell in the middle of the road and moved to the slums, it coincided with Yu's father's serious illness. And they had no money, so they had to borrow a hundred baht from Lapon to see a doctor. Unexpectedly, it has only been less than a year, and the profit has been rolled to 500 baht. You must know that the little sister of the Yu family does hard labor, and she only earns one baht a day.
"We don't have the money right now, can we get a couple of days. When my eldest brother returns, we will have the money to pay you back. The little sister of the Yu family said.
"Yes, Ri* himself has been driven away by the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, and my son will be back soon. When the time comes, we will definitely return the money to you. Yu's mother also said.
"Fart! That's what you said six months ago. However, half a year has passed, and there is not even a shadow of your son. How do I know if that guy is already dead? Lapon looked contemptuous.
The Yu family was originally in Pattaya, but it was a big family. In front of his family, Labon is just a small person, only to look up. But now, the Yu family has been trampled under his feet. He didn't know how happy he was.
"No, my son isn't dead, he'll be back soon." Yu Mu said loudly. As a mother, she obviously couldn't accept that someone said her son was dead.
