War of Resistance: Glory of the Beasts

Chapter 531 Mrs. Guo (Thanks to the reward from 'book friends')
Taiyuan Shanxi.

A woman with excellent appearance was dressed in a foreign style that was not found in the whole Shanxi. She wore a white dress with lace on the hem and held a white umbrella in her hand. When the sun shone down, the light from the umbrella fell on the woman's white gloves. Especially the two twisting steps when she walked, she twisted out a demeanor that was completely different from the whole Shanxi.

"Miss, it should be here soon."

There were dozens of servants standing beside the woman, and some strong men were following her with guns and sticks. Well, those were not peaceful times, and without so many people following her, she might not dare to go out.

"Are you sure?"

"Miss, how would we know this? We only know that a distinguished person has entered Taiyuan, and even Old Lady Yan was alarmed. Didn't you hear that the Xu family was here, so you had to come and see if it was true?"

The young lady raised her chin high at this moment, and finally said: "I still don't believe it!"

Taiyuan, west of the city, this place is not very rich at first glance, there are no big houses, houses are closely packed in the city, and there are people carrying toilets and dumping them on the street in the morning by the ditch at the door. In those days, let alone dumping the stolen goods in the toilet into the ditch on the street, even squatting on the street with toilet paper in hand, with machine guns in front and artillery fire behind was normal.

Here is another interesting story. After liberation, people were not allowed to poop on the streets. The people of Beijing cursed and shouted, "If people are not allowed to poop on the streets, is there any justice in the world?"

That was the time, no wonder rich people didn't want to live with poor people.

And this lady in the white dress stepped on the cheap ground today just to verify the suspicion in her heart.

Because her last name is Yu and her maiden name is Qiulan.

She arrived in Taiyuan several years ago, fleeing from the northeast to Beijing, and then from Beijing to Taiyuan. But when the Xu family continued to head to northern Shaanxi, they said they did not want to leave at all.

This is Taiyuan. How can northern Shaanxi compare with this place?

Besides, why do we have to listen to that Fengtian Army deserter?

More importantly, the old man of the Yu family fell ill when he arrived in Taiyuan. His worries about his son, his anxiety about the current situation, and his worry about what to do made the entire Yu family leaderless, leaving only Yu Qiulan struggling to support the family.

Perhaps Taiyuan was really Yu Qiulan's blessed land. As soon as she arrived here, she was noticed by a group leader. He even created a feat of five matchmakers coming to her house at the same time in one day, offering boxes of gold and silver just to propose marriage for one person.

That kind of glory cannot be compared with the Xu family shack.

Yu Qiulan had no choice, or perhaps she simply didn't want to choose. The family needed a powerful man to support it, so she silently lowered her head in front of her father's ward, feeling wronged, as if she had finally compromised with fate. From then on, she walked out of the room wearing a bright red dress and became the regiment leader's concubine!

By the way, now she is not called concubine, but concubine.

She thought that this was how her life would be, so she just accepted it.

But unexpectedly, the team leader was not only after her beauty, but also treated her as a treasure. He had to take her with him no matter what occasion or banquet he attended. This broadened Yu Qiulan's horizons.

But only she knows how painful it is to have her horizons broadened!

It's just that Yu Qiulan doesn't like military affairs. After all, most of the wars mentioned by military men are "defeats", such as Rehe - defeat, Chahar - defeat, and the Great Wall defense battle - draw. Women admire strong men, so how can they bear to hear so many defeats?

Even though she couldn't fight or go to the battlefield, after hearing about so many defeats on the battlefield, she could still hold her head high and look at the losers with contempt, as if looking at you for even a second longer would be an insult to those eyes.

It was not until the news of victory came that the wives of the officers gathered together, fanning themselves with lace and wearing cheongsams, and said at the mahjong table: "I told you that you can't fail to win a battle. That's useless."

Yu Qiulan was still laughing at that time, but after that sentence, she could no longer laugh at all.

"Hey, which general won the battle?"

This question attracted everyone's attention at the mahjong table: "I heard that his surname is Xu, but he is not a general, but a company commander. He is said to be from the Northeast. He led a group of people from Chahar to Rehe and won a great victory with the 'grave diggers' behind Chifeng!" The moment the two key words "surname Xu" and "Northeasterner" were mentioned, Yu Qiulan locked her eyes on the official's wife who was speaking, and asked as if she had something to do with her: "Do you know his name?"

"It seems." The other party seemed to really not remember, and said as if his memory was disordered: "Xu Jingyu."

Yu Qiulan finally felt relieved as if she had avoided some bad news, and she even breathed a sigh of relief. Although her emotions had returned to normal, the expression on her face proved how she felt just now.

"What? They are clearly Xu Chaoyang and Yang Jingyu."

But the worry that she had just put to rest was once again raised to her throat by another official's wife!

Xu Chaoyang.
It’s really Xu Chaoyang!
That night, the sound of the gunshot fired in the air seems to still ring beside my ear, and the reckless shouting and cursing can still appear in my nightmares.

But since then, this nightmare has never stopped. In the ambush outside Chahar, the number one traitor in Northeast China fell. From then on, the National Government began to make him an example and promoted it throughout the country. For a time, his name was all over the newspapers!
The military uniform on his body, the wounds on his face;

The long spear he carried, the wind and frost he had experienced
Everything began to become clear.

The key is that he was really competitive. After Chahar, he fought again at Xifengkou and won again. The high-ranking official of the National Government, He Yingqin, appeared in the newspapers with him. He actually became a hero in the hearts of the people across the country.

During that period, the whole of Shanxi was talking about only him. It seemed that anyone who didn't know Xu Chaoyang's name was not qualified to communicate with others. Some said that he would soon be transferred to Jinling to become a disciple of the emperor's uncle, and some said that he would soon become a senior officer of the German-equipped division's training team.
It was as if the name Xu Chaoyang had soared into the clouds and had nothing to do with her anymore; it was as if her man's love was no longer as sweet as before. She was even always disturbed by random thoughts, and even the things that happened at night were always dealt with perfunctorily.

I don’t know when it started, but she no longer wanted to read the good news about Xu Chaoyang. Instead, she paid close attention to the bad news about him.

The night when the news that he had become a deserter in SH came, Yu Qiulan held up her wine glass and pointed at the bright moon, and said as if she had finally succeeded: "I knew it!"

How could he be a hero?

How can he be a hero?
What does he mean if he becomes a hero?
Of course, she is still a sister, and whenever she hears news about Xu Chaoyang, she will still ask: "Any news about Yu Minghao?"

Every time she asked this question, her husband would shake his head and say indifferently, "I haven't heard that, besides Xu Chaoyang, the most famous person in 217 is Chang Zhan, who is a brave general."

But Yu Qiulan was still a little unconvinced, and looked at her man and asked, "How do you compare to Xu Chaoyang?"

The man smiled and responded: "Me? Compare with Xu Chaoyang?"

"He, Xu Chaoyang, is a star in the sky, shining brightly in the eyes of the devils. Your man doesn't even understand the Shanxi Suiyuan Army."

At that moment, Yu Qiulan didn't know what emotion she was feeling. She just stared at the moon sky in a daze, as if all the glory that the man had once brought her had disappeared.

Just now, it was heard that the "Xu family" had arrived in Taiyuan. This news not only alarmed the powerful people in Taiyuan, but also scared Old Lady Yan out of her cave. She brought all the dignitaries in the city to this place where people with a little money were unwilling to live.

Is Xu Chaoyang really here?

Is that Xu Chaoyang really the Xu Chaoyang I know?

These information that had been verified countless times by Yu Qiulan entered her mind again at this moment. She only hoped to see a strange face today, so that she would not humiliate the country and would not make herself sad.

"Mrs. Guo, hurry up."

On the street, a number of cars were parked at the far end, with umbrellas beside them. Further ahead, officers wearing the uniform of the Kuomintang army and white gloves stood behind the most powerful person in Taiyuan. Old Xizi Yan was standing alone in a row, and no one knew who she was waiting to greet.
Among the group of elegant ladies, several of them waved at Yu Qiulan and called her Mrs. Guo.
