The fate of the Republic of China is you

The news of the two women's marriage quickly spread throughout Shanghai with the publication of newspapers, and the names of Zheng Jiawen and Hou Shuyi were being talked about by more and more people.

The development of the matter was worse than Zheng Jiawen expected. She was dismissed by Zhongcheng and Sheng Xilai at the same time.

Fortunately, people who love beauty still step into Hou Shuyi's Shishang Company. This special marriage does not seem to affect their desire to wear beautiful clothes.

Although the bank has a group of people withdrawing money, it can still maintain turnover. Zheng Jiawen's biggest impact in Shanghai is the department store. The customer flow is obviously less than before, and Zheng Junren has to launch a series of strategies.

All food will be bundled with a [-]% profit reduction.

Except for food, other daily necessities will maintain the original price, but a gift strategy will be introduced to meet the purchase amount.

Luxury goods are priced with a [-]% profit increase. Rich people only want to buy them or not. There is no concept of cheap or expensive.

As soon as the plan was launched, it immediately attracted a large number of people living on the ground floor. The entrance of the department store was crowded that day, especially the food, which was sold out quickly.

At this time, what the common people are most concerned about is daily necessities, rice, oil, salt, gossip and boycott, but as long as it is beneficial to them, they will re-enter the place they threatened to boycott.

Zheng Jiawen compiled books at home after he was dismissed. Now the textbooks used in universities are either foreign English versions, or a temporary one compiled by the teacher himself. Many of them are not standardized and practical. So far, there is no physics book written in Chinese characters.

"Jiawen, it's seven o'clock, pack up and take Lanlan to school." Hou Shuyi lay on the door of the study and looked at Zheng Jiawen inside.

"Okay, I got it." Zheng Jiawen held a ruler without looking up and hung the schematic diagrams of series and parallel connections on the paper.

Seeing how relieved Zheng Jiawen's state was, Hou Shuyi went in and took Zheng Jiawen's pen and said, "Okay, it's too late, hurry up, send Lan Lan to school and come back to draw."

"Shuyi, I'll send Lanlan off today, and let Jiawen be busy." Yin Xiaxiang appeared at the door of the study and said.

"No mother, you can just watch Tongtong at home, I'll change clothes right now." Zheng Jiawen heard that he dared to dawdle, he quickly stood up and walked out of the study, and went back to the bedroom to change clothes.

"Jiawen was in a bad mood after being fired, and you asked her to see Lanlan off, how embarrassing it would be to meet a former colleague." Yin Xiaxiang whispered, tugging at her daughter's sleeve.

"Mother, there's nothing embarrassing about it. She didn't steal or snatch anything. Just be open-minded. She's busy editing books at home all day. It's a good thing to go out for a walk. Don't worry. My work time is coming soon, so I'll be leaving first." After Hou Shuyi finished speaking, she went downstairs with her handbag and went to the entrance to change her shoes.

After Zheng Jiawen put on his clothes, he rode a bicycle and took Zheng Xianglan to school.

"Lan Lan, are there any children at school who bully you because of me?"

"There are a few of them who always say bad things around me, but most of them will scold me back. Mother, many children like you, and some of them even want to come to our house to play. They all miss you."

Zheng Jiawen smiled and said: "You can invite your best friends to come to play at home, tell me and your mother, we will hold a small party for you."

"Really? Let me talk to them today and invite them to our house to play this Saturday, okay?" Zheng Xianglan was excited in the back seat.

"Okay, you and your good friend can talk, and I will prepare." Zheng Jiawen rode happily all the way to the school gate with a smile on his face.

"Hey, Mr. Tao, are you here to see off your daughter?" The mother-in-law who opened the school gate smiled and nodded to Zheng Jiawen.

"Yes, grandma, Lan Lan, ask grandma early."

"Good morning, grandma." Zheng Xianglan jumped out of the back seat with her schoolbag on her back.

"Hey, good morning, come in quickly, the first class is about to start." Grandma smiled.

"Mother, I'm leaving. Oh, by the way, you have to come pick me up on time this afternoon." Zheng Xianglan remembered the incident and hurriedly turned around to remind her that her mother often forgets the time when she compiles books.

"Understood, don't worry, go in quickly." Zheng Jiawen waved his hand.

"Mr. Tao, good morning, Mr. Tao!" A pupil from behind saw Zheng Jiawen and hurriedly greeted him.

"Oh, what's the matter, how many times has my mother told you, don't gossip with her, she is abnormal, go in quickly." The mother of the elementary school student pulled the child to avoid Zheng Jiawen and walked inside.

Zheng Jiawen shrugged, leaned on the handle of the bicycle, and said to the grandmother who opened the door: "Grandma, I'm leaving, goodbye."

"Oh, good, goodbye, Mr. Tao."

Zheng Jiawen rode home, walked halfway, remembered that this month's food expenses had not been sent to the Wang family, so he turned to the Wang family.

"Sister Zhiming, sister Zhiming." Zheng Jiawen knocked on the door.

No one opened the door for a long time, and saw a group of people muttering around the paper on the wall, so they walked forward curiously, the strange thing is, as soon as she took a step, the group of people scattered away, looking at her with strange eyes , she walked to the wall, looked up at the paper on the wall, her expression changed drastically.

I saw what was written on the paper: "In the spring breeze of the alley in February, the teacher came at the beginning of the month. Women marry wives in a strange way, hypocrisy and hypocrisy are pregnant with ghosts. The left arm is embracing the new wife, and the right hand is picking up the widow. If this woman is not expelled, the Chinese custom All ruined."

Zheng Jiawen froze in place, staggering two steps backward.

"Eh? Jiawen?" Liu Zihe carried the meat into the alley, and when he saw Zheng Jiawen, he stepped forward, "What's wrong?"

Zheng Jiawen turned his head slowly, smiled helplessly, and pointed to the poems on the wall.

"Look at this poster poem, hehe, it's like a cold arrow hitting the face, it hurts people's hearts." Zheng Jiawen smiled sadly.

"Hey, who wrote this?" Liu Zihe stepped forward and tore the poem down and kneaded it into a ball.

"Don't care who wrote it, it's clearly for me to post it like this. They know that I will definitely come to send living expenses at the beginning of the month, and they are trying to force me to back off and never come again." Zheng Jiawen's heart ached at this moment, The meaning of the poem written by an old hand is very clear, but what did she do wrong?Even if she married Shuyi and those people disagreed, she was doing a good deed by sending rice and money to the Wang family. Why can't she do good deeds?What is happening to this society?

"Never mind them, don't think about it, Jiawen, the legs are on your body, you can come if you want." Liu Zihe threw the paper ball aside.

"But Zhiming's sister-in-law won't open the door, son and brother, tell me, should I enter or retreat? I came to Wang's house to send rice and money for Yueyue to study. All I did was to comfort the soul of brother Zhiming, but They, they guessed wildly with villainous minds, and said that I have a ulterior motive for Zhiming's sister-in-law, and Zhiming's sister-in-law has not seen her behind closed doors, why do I have to provoke trouble and be humiliated like this?"

"Sister-in-law must be avoiding suspicion. She is also afraid of hurting you. Otherwise, don't come here from now on. I will take care of the Wang family."

"You think you'll be fine if you come? Those people are used to making trouble out of nothing. If you come here as a man, you'll definitely say that you're in love with Mrs. Zhiming." Zheng Jiawen couldn't help but stepped on the paper ball a few times, " I didn't want to get angry with them, but they, they are too much, I can understand if you talk about the marriage, after all, there has never been a marriage between two women before, but they actually slandered me for having something wrong with my sister-in-law It’s really hateful to think about it.”

"This kind of thing happens every day. How did the famous actress die last year? It's not because people said it was scary. This kind of thing can't be stopped. There are batches of people who gossip, and people's hearts are not all good. You If you want to be angry, you will definitely be angry to death."

After hearing Liu Zihe's words, Zheng Jiawen was silent for a while, took out 15 yuan from her pocket and stuffed it through the crack of the door for a long time. She knew that Mrs. Zhiming must be hiding behind the door.

"Sister-in-law, this month's living expenses are stuck in the door, so I'm leaving first." Zheng Jiawen turned around and left after saying that.

Liu Zihe quickly hung the meat on the doorknob, and hurried to chase Zheng Jiawen.

"Jiawen, please slow down. I don't have class this morning. Let's go. The teahouse will take you to an opera." Liu Zihe said as he took Zheng Jiawen's hand and dragged him to the teahouse.

"Okay, don't make a bitter face, it's nothing serious." Liu Zihe poured Zheng Jiawen a cup of tea

"Hey, I'm still too optimistic. In this world, there are always people who don't want you to do good deeds. You say there's nothing wrong with me helping orphans and widows. They just made up something to make me stop coming. It doesn't affect them. But it doesn't matter to them where Yueyue's school money will be raised from in the future, it's not good for others, why do you bother?" Zheng Jiawen picked up the teacup and put it in his mouth, and it burned instantly.

"How thirsty and angry are you, and you just pour this hot tea straight into your mouth? Don't let Shuyi go home thinking that someone you kissed outside is swollen." Liu Zihe teased with a smile.

Zheng Jiawen laughed when he heard the words, thinking of Hou Shuyi, his inexplicable anger subsided a little.

"Don't be angry, I can't ask Shuyi to send living expenses to Wang's family in the future, let's send it every other month, and I'll ask your sister-in-law to give it too, since Zhiming is gone, I should help, I can still get fifteen or six yuan every other month. "

Zheng Jiawen patted Liu Zihe on the shoulder and said, "You will still have children in the future. When you get married and live with your sister-in-law, the concession in the apartment outside is not cheap. As for me, I happen to be lucky. My family sends money every month, and there is another A partner who can make money, I can afford the expenses of the Wang family, so don't compete with me, if you want to do your best, just buy some food and go there."

"It's true that your life is good, but even though you have someone to support you, you can't just keep doing nothing like this. What are your plans for the future?"

Zheng Jiawen turned his head to look at the stage, and slowly said: "I am editing books at home now, but judging from the school's attitude towards me now, I am afraid that it will not be useful if I edit them. I saw that there were people who criticized me at length in yesterday's newspaper. Now I’m afraid I can’t do anything in Shanghai. Thinking about when I was a teenager, I used to have a copy of "New Youth" in my arms, and I used to search for the truth with enthusiasm. Now I look more decadent than when I was a teenager. gone."

"The world is so big that I can't stay in Shanghai. Why not go to other places? It's not only Shanghai that has students."

Zheng Jiawen raised his head when he heard the words, but his eyes dimmed immediately.

"I'm a married man now, and I don't want to go to other places to live in secret. Before I apply, I will definitely tell the school and students the truth, but I know that this is too difficult, and it is unacceptable in Shanghai, and it is even more impossible in other places. So I thought, go to England to further my studies, but Shuyi and I just got married."

"You want to go abroad?" Liu Zihe was a little surprised.

"Yes, my mentor, Mr. Wilton, has sent several letters. He encouraged me to pursue a Ph. D., and his research is on weapons this time. I'm already ready to move. But I don't know how to talk to Shuyi about this. , I promised her not to separate before we got married." Zheng Jiawen rubbed his face and didn't know what to do.

"Since when have you become interested in weapons?"

"Didn't I always believe that education can save the country? If we can train a group of students who can independently develop weapons, we don't have to spend a lot of money to buy defective and inferior guns. Besides, most of the people who can afford guns now It’s the warlords, remember last year when the Beijing-Hanzhou railway workers went on strike, the warlords caused the February [-]th tragedy, and many people died, I saw the photo of the beheaded blood in a foreign country, and I couldn’t express the feeling in my heart.” Zheng Jiawen shook Shaking her head, she really wanted to go, but she couldn't bear to leave.

Liu Zihe heard the words and said: "If you want to go, just talk to Shuyi, I believe Shuyi will let you go."

"I'm still hesitating, how can I talk to Shuyi? I don't want to be separated in my heart." Zheng Jiawen sighed.

Zheng Jiawen and Liu Zihe were chatting in the teahouse, but there was still a group of people gathered in front of Wang's house in the alley to make irresponsible remarks.

Mrs. Zhiming hid outside the door the whole time. The words of those people outside made her go crazy.

"Yo, Mrs. Zhiming."

"You, you are too much. I know there are many gossips in front of widows, but there is no such thing as you. I can bear to hurt my widows. How can you defile my benefactor with empty words? They come to worship innocently. Yue goes to school and doesn't expect anything in return, but you are better off, as a neighbor, you are not happy for me, but gossip everywhere, do you have to let me close the widow door to stop you?"

"Sister-in-law Zhiming, it's your fault. I'm doing it for your own good. Your benefactor likes women. Not long ago, she married a woman in a big show. Obviously, she helped you and plotted against you. How can there be such a thing in the world?" Do good without expecting anything in return."

"Yes, Mrs. Zhiming, don't be ignorant of good people."

"You, you, you go away, she is my family's benefactor, I don't allow you to pour dirty water on her like this, just go away." Sister Zhiming said and closed the door with a bang.

Zheng Jiawen and Liu Zihe went home after chatting, wrote a book and went to play with Xiang Tong, and went out on time in the afternoon to pick Xiang Lan home.

When Hou Shuyi came home from get off work, Zheng Jiawen was compiling books in the study, and Xiang Lan was doing homework beside her.

Hou Shuyi walked in and said with a smile: "Are you working hard?"

"Why did you get off work so early today?" Zheng Jiawen looked at his watch and smiled.

"Not much to do today." Hou Shuyi said as she went to the bookshelf to get a German dictionary. When she pulled out the book a little harder, she knocked down the English version of the physics book on the ground. When she squatted down to pick it up, she found several English letters. He couldn't help but looked at it, the more he looked, the more his heart sank, he turned his head and glanced at Zheng Jiawen who was lecturing to Xiang Lan, and then quietly put the letter back in the book.

Seeing that it was very early to write the letter, Zheng Jiawen never said that he had no intention of going abroad. Hou Shuyi comforted herself and sat next to Zheng Jiawen with a dictionary.

"Jiawen, have you thought about applying for a few more schools?" Hou Shuyi looked at Zheng Jiawen and asked tentatively.

"Let's wait for it to calm down outside." Zheng Jiawen said with a smile.

"Then why don't you study abroad?"

Zheng Jiawen looked at Hou Shuyi in surprise when he heard the words.

Hou Shuyi knew Zheng Jiawen wanted to see it miraculously, so she pursed her lips and remained silent.

"I just had this idea at the beginning. No school is willing to hire me now. If I win an award abroad..." Zheng Jiawen hadn't finished speaking when Hou Shuyi put down her dictionary and stood up and walked out.

Zheng Jiawen was stunned for a moment, then quickly got up and chased him out.
