Lena took the newspaper and tugged at it a little harder.

Very sturdy indeed!

For a price of 1 cent, it's pretty affordable.

And in addition to being used as a wrapper, Lena thinks her husband will like it.

Since being forced to flee due to the war, losing most of her possessions and losing contact with her best friends, Lena and her husband have been living frugally.

Newspapers and books are so extravagant that they are completely out of reach.

But Lena knows that her husband is actually very fond of reading.

He was an amazing scholar.

I fell in love with him in the far east, and it was because of his strong scholarly atmosphere that attracted me.

It's a pity that after coming to the United States, his talent was not recognized, and he could only engage in the simplest manual labor.

Sighing, Lena put the newspaper in her small cloth bag and walked towards the Cuomo estate.

·

"Mr. Cuomo, where is Miss Haeun, she should study the second movement of Piano Concerto No. 26 in D major today."

If you don't count the soulless black maids who are cleaning the house, Lena finds that the manor is a little too quiet today.

Being alone with Congressman Cuomo in such an environment made Lena feel very uncomfortable.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you yesterday that my wife will be taking Helen to the church's female Durban lecture today." Cuomo raised an eyebrow.

This kind of thing is not the patent of the so-called masters of Chinese culture in China in later generations.

In fact, in the West, there are a large number of housekeeping classes, female Durban, organized by the church.

In this era, Western women were born with the purpose of marrying and procreation, and parents would spend a lot of money to send their daughters to these women in Durban to learn how to be a virtuous and virtuous wife.

It is unknown whether Helen will be a good wife in the future, but her father is definitely not a good husband.

Looking at Councilor Cuomo, whose eyes were roaming around her unscrupulously, Lena said vigilantly, "Since that's the case, Mr. Cuomo, then I'll go back today." ”

"Haha, Miss Lianna, you don't have to be like this, it's all here, let's have a drink!" Cuomo laughed.

"No need, I'm not a young lady, my husband is waiting for me at home!" With that, Lena was leaving.

"Bichi, do you really not understand what I mean?"

Cuomo grabbed Lianna's wrist and said with a fierce look, "Your husband is that Chinese, right?" It's funny that you, a high-class woman who can play Mozart's piano music, would marry that kind of man! ”

Cuomo fiercely threw Lena on the sofa and reached out to untie his tie, "Look at you, such a beautiful body is wearing such inferior clothes, that Chinese ruined you!" But it doesn't matter, I won't dislike you for it, on the contrary, I think you'll become more delicious! ”

"Don't come here, you're a crime, you're violating!" Lena frantically threw the pillow on the couch at him, but it didn't do anything.

"Crime? Who are you, a woman who has betrayed God, to say that I have sinned? From the moment you married a Chinese man, you were expelled from God, and I slept with you, which is an honor to look up to you! ”

Cuomo threw off his tie and shirt, revealing his ugly body covered in chest hair.

He threw his hands forward, smiled cruelly, and pounced.

"You go away, filthy thing, you deserve hell with your God!"

In a state of great panic, Lena snatched the newspaper that had fallen out of the sack.

She poked the rolled-up newspaper forward so hard that it stabbed Cuomo in the eye.

“fk！ Damn it! ”

Newspapers weren't enough to blind him, of course, but they were also enough to cause a momentary loss of vision.

At this time, the blood of the officer's father in Lianna's body played a role.

She seized the momentary opportunity to pick up the lamp on the sideboard and slammed it into the back of McCann's head.

Then, she fled to the screams of the black slave maid.

·

Stop.

Xia Jiang felt that his arms and back were completely paralyzed.

I don't know how, but today the number of carriages coming from the west is doubled.

These wagons were loaded with a variety of goods, some of which needed to be unloaded, others that needed to be divided and transported to the next destination.

This kept Xia Jiang busy all morning.

However, although he was busy, it also avoided the situation that he was beaten by white men.

After all, there is no way to finish so much work, and for those white people, it is better to wait for him to finish his work and threaten him to hand over 2/3 of his wages than to beat up the yellow-skinned monkey again and drive him away.

Xia Jiang didn't expect these "simple" workers to be so bad, he kept going back and forth with goods equal to his own weight.

On the contrary, the black slaves at the station could only work with twenty pounds each, and they did not have to carry them on their shoulders at all, but only by hand, and even if the overseer's whip fell, they would not take anything more.

The white laborers, on the other hand, were better, and they could lift sixty or seventy pounds of things.

In fact, if you simply compete in handling, Xia Jiang's strength is not greater than that of these whites.

But if it is more weight-bearing than resisting things, the advantages of the yellow race are reflected.

In addition, he can endure hardships, so one person can do the work of two people.

Xia Jiang unloaded the heavy snakeskin bag and took the wages that had already been deducted from the foreman.

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves was heard in the distance.

"Xia Jiang!"

He looked up and saw a woman in a cloth garment galloping in the distance.

Xia Jiang rubbed his eyes, this is indeed his wife.

"It's too late to explain, come on!"

"Good!"

The experience of several exiles in the war has made the husband and wife very tacit.

As soon as Xia Jiang was about to leave, the white workers gathered around yesterday.

"Get out of here!"

Xia Jiang suddenly punched one of the white men in the eye socket.

South fist and north leg, the Fujian army may not have many records in war, but Fujian people have always been good at practicing martial arts and fighting.

What's more, Xia Jiang is Lin Zexu's fellow countryman, of course, he will kick you to death with a few hands.

Although there is no exaggerated boxing technique like Ye Da Spy in the movie, the white men in front of them are not 200-pound British Hercules, but just white ruffians who are also skinny.

Three punches and two kicks knocked them over, and Liana's horse arrived.

She actually prefers horseback riding to playing the piano, which is her father's specialty.

At this time, there was another sound of horses' hooves in the distance.

That's the mounted police of the town's vigilante.

It is said that it is a mounted police, but in fact it is a group of militia on horseback.

And the leader is none other than Como, who has a strip of cloth wrapped around his head.

"Give me chase!"

"Grab the dog man and woman for me and hang them in front of the parliament building!"

At the same time, the railway governor Yamen, a place that his father did not love and did not love, finally received the first tank of his own from the logistics department!
