Traveling through the 1940s, the whole village was massacred at the beginning
Chapter 34 “Saving Money” to Buy a House
After a simple meal, Jiang Jiyun lay at the door of the hotel and looked at the busy street outside.
"Can you ask your grandfather and uncle to take you to see it? Today, the city's director of public security is taking a sixth concubine, and he has also invited the most famous opera troupe in P City. I heard that many well-known people will be there, and there will also be Japanese officers! What a sin!"
"The shopkeeper doesn't like the director of public security?" Jiang Jiyun asked.
"You're just a kid, you don't understand!" said the shopkeeper as he fiddled with the abacus on the counter.
"Then why don't you tell us, brother. We just arrived so we won't offend anyone without knowing it!" Mr. Jiang Liu said to the shopkeeper.
"Alas! The director of public security's sister married Major Okada. He is now a popular figure among the Japanese. He is a poisonous insect here. I don't know how many girls he has harmed. I don't know how many people here wish he was dead!"
Jiang Jiyun asked the shopkeeper, "Since he is like this, why does the Sixth Concubine still follow him?"
"Hehe... do you think she did it voluntarily? They said that Lin Peiyao's brother was a member of the New Fourth Army. Either her whole family was captured by the devils, or Lin Peiyao married Director Gou and they would no longer be a family." The shopkeeper told them what he knew.
Mr. Jiang Liu also sighed, "This girl is very pretty! Otherwise, that damn director wouldn't be so unscrupulous, right?"
"That's right. Miss Lin is the most beautiful woman in our P city. Director Gou would not dare to be so arrogant before the Japanese came. Although the Lin family has been in business for generations, they still have some connections with relevant departments!" said the waiter while wiping the table.
"Uncle Wenming, let's go out and see what's going on! I haven't seen the plays here yet." Jiang Jiyun pestered Jiang Wenming to go see a play.
"Go! Go home and sleep before 10 o'clock at night. There is a curfew after 10 o'clock. Don't wander around the streets. If you are caught, you will be executed on the spot!" The shopkeeper reminded the uncle and nephew.
"Thank you, shopkeeper!" After thanking him, Jiang Jiyun climbed onto Jiang Wenming's back and went out to watch the fun.
Jiang Wanting hid in the house to take care of Xiaobao, while Yan Xuyang accompanied Jiang Liuye to the herbal medicine store and buy some medicinal herbs.
Jiang Jiyun looked at the city from Jiang Wenming's back. Although it was not as good as the city she lived in, it was much better than the town where she was from. Although there were not so many tall buildings, the houses were not bad either, and there were black cars and rickshaws on the road.
Walking on the street, I didn't see many women shopping. Many people were walking in one direction.
"Uncle, hurry up, I can hear the sound of gongs and drums!" Jiang Jiyun urged.
They came to a square where a play was already being performed on a high stage.
Jiang Wenming was watching with great interest, nodding his head. Jiang Jiyun got bored after watching for a while. She couldn't understand what they were singing and didn't know if her uncle was pretending to be immersed in the singing.
"Uncle, there are some kids over there and my grandpa wants to go play with them for a while!" Jiang Jiyun said to Jiang Wenming while looking at a group of kids playing hide-and-seek over there.
Jiang Wenming looked over and saw a group of children there, quite a few of them, so he agreed.
Jiang Jiyun pretended to play for a while and then sneaked to the vicinity of Director Gou's house. Seeing that there were still Japanese soldiers guarding the door, he walked along the wall of his house.
"Aren't there dog holes in the courtyards of wealthy families in those novels and TV dramas?" Jiang Jiyun walked around but didn't see one.
She didn't see a dog hole but saw a small wooden door, which was similar in size and shape to the dog hole. She pushed it hard but couldn't open it.
I had just walked a few steps when I heard a sound from there. I turned around and saw a head popping out.
Jiang Jiyun stared with wide eyes at the thin woman who crawled out of the cave. She had an oval face, willow-shaped eyebrows, and watery eyes that seemed to convey her feelings. She had snow-white skin, a cherry mouth, and a graceful figure that was truly alluring.
"Is the bride going to run away from the marriage? Really?" Jiang Jiyun looked at her with interest.
When Lin Peiyao climbed out of the dog hole, she saw a child not far away looking at her in surprise. She coughed lightly and ran away.
She had made an appointment with her parents to escape from P City together. Now she wanted to reunite with her parents, so she put on a veil and ran away.
When Jiang Jiyun saw the dog hole, it was like a duel between a little angel and a little devil whether to go in or not.
The little angel with wings: You can’t go. You just arrived and are not familiar with the terrain. If you cause trouble, you will implicate Sixth Grandpa and the others!
The little devil with red horns: Go ahead, this bastard must have a lot of treasures at home, just empty them all out! Then you will have money to buy a house!
Jiang Jiyun couldn't resist the temptation and crawled straight in. She also closed the small door.
After entering the yard, she looked at the deserted backyard, listened to the sounds of drinking and laughter in the front yard, and quickly went into a room.
Seeing that the things on the display cabinets should be antiques, she put them all into the space.
After leaving this room, she came to the outside of another room, and the door of this room was actually locked.
He took out a large pair of pliers from the space and cut it off with a click. Jiang Jiyun ran in and closed the door.
"Ouch!"
Looking at the room full of golden and shiny things, how much did this bastard greedily get?
Jiang Jiyun put everything into the space without hesitation. When she was ready to leave after moving everything, she found obvious friction marks between one of the cabinets and the ground.
She walked over and pushed the cabinet hard, then she saw a hole in the wall. She took out a flashlight and went in to look at everything in front of her.
Box after box of gold bricks, box after box of jade, agate and jewelry, several large boxes of dollars, many calligraphy and paintings, and more antiques.
"I'm rich! I'm rich!" Jiang Jiyun was collecting things into the space while keeping a vigilant eye on the outside.
After putting away the things, she ran out and pushed the cabinet back to its original place. After she left, she considerately put the broken lock back on.
I groped my way to the storehouse of Director Gou's house, where rice, flour and oil were piled up like mountains. I put all of them into the space.
While no one was paying attention, she wanted to go to the kitchen to see if there was anything there, but she ended up touching the door of the room with a big red wedding character on it.
"It seems that this is the director's new house? Isn't he marrying the sixth concubine now? Why can't I see the fifth concubine's room?" Jiang Jiyun went in puzzled.
She moved into the new house and left everything empty, even putting away the bedding and clothes in the closet.
"My little beauty! I'm back!"
Jiang Jiyun was so scared that she hid behind the door. She cursed the bastard and herself inwardly, thinking that she was too greedy!
"Squeak!"
There was a sound of a door opening, and the door was pushed open from the outside, and Director Gou staggered into the room.
"Hey! Did I walk into the wrong room?" Director Gou thought as he looked at the empty room.
Jiang Jiyun did not even let go of the pair of dragon and phoenix candles, and put them all into the space.
