There is also spring for passers-by

Xiao Tao followed closely behind the rickshaw that Wen Tingting was riding in. People like her who were sold by their families during the famine were most afraid of being abandoned by the master's family in such a big event. Among the three wives, the fourth lady was the most useful because the third wife was a love-brained woman whose heart and eyes were full of the master. All affairs of the third wife had been decided by the fourth lady since she was nine years old.

Wen Wan asked tentatively, "Sister, where are we going? Are we going to follow Big Brother and Second Brother?"

"Auntie is so annoyed with us mother and son, and her sister-in-law looks down on us, so we just roll our eyes at her."

Wen Wan shrugged her nose, blown by the cold morning wind, "Then where are we going?"

"Children just eat and sleep, and if they eat and sleep well, that's what adults worry about."

Wen Tingting thought of her heartless sister. In her previous life, she did whatever she asked. Even in the late period of the Anti-Japanese War, her brother had alienated her. Only this sister said, "I believe that you are a person with conscience. No matter what you are like, you are my favorite sister, Wen Wan."

Even her own mother was suspicious: "Tingting, are you really giving the daughter of the Zhang family, the grain and oil shop, to the Japanese as a... as a..."

She had clearly sent the girl to the war and had them learn to bandage wounds. If she hadn't been sent away sooner, she would have been spotted by the Japanese and become a comfort woman. No one had touched her because Colonel Jiro Yamaguchi was her adopted father, and Mrs. Yamaguchi was the Emperor's cousin in the Japanese country.

Wen Tingting: I don't want to be a hero in this life, nor do I want to play lurker anymore. I just want to protect my family and experience the joy of being an ordinary citizen. I want to have a good ending and leave a clean reputation.

She was supposed to be the traitor's sister, but it turned out that she was a lurker in her previous life.

How is this still playing?

Wen Wan talks to the original owner of the soul-nourishing bead space: Your sister ran away, it seems that this life will not be the same as the previous one.

Wen Wan: I won't come back. My sister is such a liar. In my past life, I always trusted her and thought she was a kind and good person. But when she was shot, the whole city was cursing. Sigh, I think I really misjudged her. Unless she lives to see the islanders leave our country and prove that she is not a traitor, I don't plan to come back.

The War of Resistance has just begun and it will take a few more years to endure.

Wen Wan couldn't hear Wen Tingting's thoughts, but Wen Wan heard them.

It was a huge misunderstanding in the previous life, but Wen Wan didn't understand. Didn't the people in Wen Tingting's organization know the truth? Why didn't they clear her name or save her when she was sentenced, but instead let Wen Tingting be shot?

Wen Tingting also has her own regrets in this life. She doesn't care about death, but her younger brothers and sisters were implicated because of her and were shot to death. Even the little girl Xiaotao was not spared.

"Rickshaw, not to the train station, but to the dock. I'm going to Shanghai."

Wen Wan was a little confused, "Sister, where are we going? Aren't we going to Guangzhou with big brother and the others?"

"Just listen to me."

They were walking in front, and behind them was Master Wen sitting in a rickshaw, followed by the housekeeper and his son, the housekeeper's wife and her daughter, and further behind them were the fifth concubine and the eighth lady, Wen Na, sitting in a rickshaw.

"Niannian, Niannian, please wait a moment, Niannian..."

Master Wen shouted as he walked.

The rickshaw took them to the dock in Peking. Wen Tingting jumped off the carriage and said to Xiaotao, "Look after the young lady and the young master. I'm going to buy the boat tickets."

"Yes." Xiaotao agreed obediently.

Master Wen got off the rickshaw and approached the Third Concubine, "Are you really going to leave me?"

The Third Concubine said, "Master, Tingting has left with Xiuli and Wanwan. I'm worried that all three children are gone."

Master Wen asked, "Just trust me, Master."

Among his five wives and concubines, Mr. Wen's favorite was the third concubine, Tang Niannian. Before Tang Niannian married him, he was teaching Chinese in that foreign school. He fell in love with the third concubine at first sight and was struck by her beauty. He thought that Tang Niannian was not only his woman, but also his confidante and sweetheart. Naturally, her status in the family was different from that of other women. More importantly, Tang Niannian had accompanied him abroad for three years, and even Wen Tingting was born abroad.

"Niannian, I've prepared some money. You give it to Tingting. I'll let Wen Ma and her daughter go with Tingting. Having Wen Ma take care of them is no better than you taking care of them. If you leave, I won't be able to survive..."

The third concubine's eyes rolled around, and she threw herself into Master Wen's arms, crying so sadly, as if three ignorant children were the ones who broke up a pair of mandarin ducks, and they didn't understand the hearts of their loving parents at all.

Wen Wan rolled her eyes in her heart, thinking that at her age she was still acting in idol dramas.

No, they probably don’t understand what idol dramas mean.

Wen Ma and Wen Xiaolian, mother and daughter, want to go with them.

Wen Tingting bought the boat tickets quickly. Originally, she only bought five tickets, but now there were six people. It was not easy for her to grab the tickets. She had to find the person based on her memories of her previous life and secretly give him a small yellow croaker before he gave her five tickets.

"Tingting, I can't bear to leave with your father. He's a patriot who vowed to live and die with Peking. I have to stay with him."

This was how it had been in her previous life. She could have left, but her father refused to leave and dragged her mother to stay with them. She would never stay again. Her appearance was her downfall. She had to leave, find a man to marry, and be an ordinary woman.

Wen Tingting had a blank expression on her face. "If that's the case, then Mom won't leave! I must take my brother, sister, and Xiaotao with me. I have an extra boat ticket, so I can just sell it."

She glanced at Master Wen and the Third Concubine, "Xiu Li, Wan Wan, Xiao Tao, get on board!"

Wen Ma looked around and said, "Fourth Miss, take my Xiaolian with you. She will be safe with you."

"I can't separate your family, so let her stay."

Wen Tingting: "Mother Wen is a nagging person. Xiaolian isn't a good person either. She was clearly the one who sent the good-looking, young girls and wives from the neighborhood to the revolutionary zone, but they fabricated a story, saying she took advantage of having a Japanese colonel as her godfather and corrupted the young girls from several nearby streets, sending them to sleep with Japanese men. The neighbors hated them to the core."

After their family died, this three-courtyard courtyard in Beijing became the home of Butler Wen and his family of four.

She didn't know what Wen Ma's family was thinking.

My father is an old-fashioned person. He is truly patriotic, but he is also a pedantic intellectual. He is not capable of doing anything too outrageous. Although he studied abroad, he learned English and he cannot speak the Japanese language, so he cannot be a traitor.

The third concubine held up a box and said, "This is the food and other things your father ordered the servants to prepare. You can take it with you and feed your younger brothers and sisters when they are hungry..."

Wen Tingting took the box. It was heavy, and she knew immediately that it contained either silver dollars or small yellow croakers. "Mom, Dad, we're leaving. Take care."
