Chapter 144 Four Sides
After Ailian divorced, Yi Huan saw that her girl was good, so she advised her to support herself and asked her to go to Qingwan to customize cheongsams for others. "Don't think that this is a matter of serving others, you are self-deprecating and feel inferior. Make clothes for others. It is very respectful to be a designer abroad. It is not embarrassing to make money by making money."
"Madam Qi Shao, I will be self-reliant and become a woman in a new era." Ailian has been almost brainwashed by Zhuang Jingqing and found the value of her existence.
The divorce of the imperial concubine is a foregone conclusion, but the war initiated by Japan does not mean that the truce can be done. The artillery battalion of the Chinese New Army set up artillery and fired two shells at the Japanese position. The huge shock wave "boomed" the Japanese soldiers on the position and fell from mid-air, falling into pieces and killed them. The surviving Japanese soldiers fled everywhere.
The artillery fire was so fierce that the Japanese commander huddled into the trenches and did not dare to emerge. "Has the Chinese improved howitzers or developed new cannons?"
The adjutant next to him glanced at him. It seems that it is not the time to care about this now? The commander muttered a few words and ordered "Strike back, strike back."
"Boom boom boom boom" The Japanese army's artillery shells poured out. Unfortunately, the Chinese New Army's cannons were arranged outside the range of the Japanese cannons. Those shells did not cause much damage to the Chinese New Army, let alone destroying the Chinese New Army's cannons. When the Chinese New Army looked at this situation, "fired the artillery."
The new Chinese military used light howitzers, with a range that was farther than that of the Japanese army. Once fired, the Japanese artillery fire was immediately suppressed. During the fierce artillery battle, the Japanese artillery soldiers could not take any advantage. In order to avoid the new Chinese army's artillery fire, they had to transfer positions at any time, so that the hit rate was even worse.
Just as China and Japan were fighting, Su Guo was restless and instructed Jiang Zuoxiang to attack Lianhaocheng's railway station, killing hundreds of garrison soldiers, and robbing the warehouse of food and clothes for cold protection. Governor Yan received a telegram, "Fourth Lao, take the artillery division and the Third Infantry Division, and the Fifth Infantry Division will destroy Jiang Zuoxiang."
"Yes, father and commander." Yan Zixue replied loudly.
Two days after the troops of these three divisions left Jizhou City, chaos broke out again in Ning Province. The so-called revolutionary parties held a democratic parade, but they broke out of control and turned into mob activities. They also occupied the favorable terrain in the city to confront the government forces. Governor Yan received a telegram and sent the 7th Infantry Division to suppress it.
On this day, the farm outside the city brought fresh fruits and vegetables. Yi Huan thought that Yan Zi was not at home, and she, who was a daughter-in-law, had to join the filial piety, so she took two baskets of fruits and vegetables to the Governor's Mansion. She met Yan Yuzhi, who was holding someone else's son, pretending to be a kind mother.
"Auntie is here." Yan Yuzhi greeted Yi Huan first.
Yi Huan smiled at her. Perhaps it was because of the appearance of her heart. Yan Yuzhi's eyebrows were full of hostility, which made people feel uncomfortable when they saw it.
"What did the little aunt bring back? Oh, the little aunt took back the things in the field as gifts, and she was not afraid of laughing at them." Yan Yuzhi said sarcastically. Yan Zhuzhi, who came down from the upstairs, frowned. Is her cousin crazy?
"I wonder what gift Yuzhi has brought back?" Yi Huan asked back.
Yan Yuzhi was stunned and defended, "This is my mother's home. I will go back to my mother's home. What gifts do I need to get there." She came to fight Qiufeng. Although her dowry was very generous, she, Wu Liming and Wu's mother were both extravagant people and could not make ends meet.
"This is my in-laws' home. I don't need to bring gifts when I come back to my in-laws. These things are just launched and I'll take them back for everyone to try them out. Yuzhi doesn't think it's good, so don't eat them later, so as not to dirty your mouth and ruin your stomach." Yi Huan is not Yan Yuzhi's parents, and she doesn't like such a big naughty child.
Yan Yuzhi looked ugly and said, "Who wants to eat those things? You are not poor and have no money to buy them."
Yi Huan ignored her and asked the maid to wash the grapes. She took a newspaper and sat on the sofa to read. Yan Zhuzhi walked over and sat down beside her, "Auntie, Liang, no, is that Ms. Ai working in your store?"
"Yes." Yi Huan laughed and replied.
"Auntie, can I go to your store to meet her?" Yan Zhuzhi asked with bright eyes. With Wang Hong's insistence, Yan Zhuzhi was the only girl in the Yan family who went to a foreign school to study.
Before Yi Huan could speak, Yan Yuzhi interrupted, "Zhuzhi, it's not me who said to you, a woman who is uneasy in the room and does not serve men at home, and shows up for divorce. What do you do when you meet her? You won't ruin your reputation. My aunt, too, you actually recruit such people to the store to work."
"I don't know if my niece knows about Yuzhi's idea? My niece praised Ms. Ai's move in the newspaper was an anti-feudal ethics and pursuit of freedom, and was a model for women." Yi Huan threw the newspaper to Yan Yuzhi.
"Sister, my brother-in-law has returned from studying abroad. He has a trendy mindset. If you can't stick to the old-style thinking, you will be disliked." Yan Zhuzhi advised kindly.
"I take care of my husband and children, and I am virtuous and kind, how can I be disliked? Only those women who are unfaithful will be disliked." Yan Yuzhi shouted in a sharp voice.
"Wow" Wu Zhenguo in her arms was scared to tears.
"Crying, you will know how to cry all day long." Yan Yuzhi stuffed the child to the wet nurse and asked her to carry the child away and coax him.
Yi Huan and Yan Zhuzhi both shook their heads lightly. Can she be called virtuous and kind in this way?
After having lunch at the in-laws' house, Yi Huan took Yan Zhuzhi to Qingwan. Yan Yuzhi went to find Wang Hong with anger, "That daughter-in-law doesn't live with her parents-in-law and doesn't serve her parents-in-law, and doesn't know how the Yi family raised her daughter and raised such an unfilial thing."
"Yuzhi, although the seventh brother and sister-in-law are about the same age as you, they are older than you after all. If you talk about the elders like this, it will make people think that the Yan family's tutoring is not good." Wang Hong said coldly. He really doesn't know how his mother-in-law and sister-in-law taught him, and taught such a stupid guy.
"Aunt Wu, I'm right." Yan Yuzhi said aggrievedly.
"Whatever you like, don't talk to me, I don't care about you, but in the future, I will lose the support of my parents' family. I hope you can live a good life in your in-laws." After Wang Hong said that, she was too lazy to pay attention to her and left.
The north was so chaotic. When the south received information, it was not known what kind of agreement Chen Zehang and Governor Jiang reached. Anyway, the two sides ceased to fight, and Chen Zehang dispatched nearly 100,000 troops to be stationed in Puyang City, Henan Province. Although there was no fire with the garrison in Handan City, Hebei Province, it formed a confrontation.
Yi Huan read the newspaper report and felt uneasy. He found Zhou Zhennan, "Brother Nan, go and transfer the people from the factory protection team to the city secretly. I feel that the situation is not very good."
"I'll go and transfer people later." Zhou Zhennan did not question Yi Huan's arrangements at all.
"Tell me about my third brother, the situation is not good, immediately take my family out of Jizhou City to Jingu and take a boat to Citi Country." Yi Huan married Yan Zi and returned. The Yi family was the in-laws of the Yan family. Other warlords entered Jizhou City. Even if they could not kill the Yi family, the Yi family's life would not be easy, and their family property would be lost by half.
Yi Huan was worried about something, and Yi’s father and brother Yi were also worried. Si Nan comforted his father-in-law and his three brother-in-law, “Even if we failed to withdraw from the city in time, with me, the foreigner, those warlords would not dare to do anything indiscriminately.”
"I'm afraid they won't come out and do bad things in secret. It's better to pick up the things. Hidden what should be hidden and transport what should be transported out of the city." Yi's father made some arrangements. First of all, he sent Yi Chengran, Yi Yanran, Yi Youran, Yi Chaoran, Yi Xinran and Yi Piaoran. These children were sent out of the city. If they couldn't get out, it would be considered as leaving some blood for the Yi family. If things were not broken to that point, Jizhou City was still in the hands of the Yan family, and I would just take the people back.
People who see the situation clearly are preparing, and although the common people know that they may be fighting again, they have nowhere to go. They can only close the doors when fighting, wait for the situation to calm down, and continue to live a poor and poor life. Prosperity will lead to suffering; death will lead to suffering.
Huang Lan took advantage of the panic of the Governor's Office and was not in strict supervision, so she sneaked out to meet Chen Huiping, "You ask me to come out, what's wrong?"
"People are coming over there. You can find a way to let them sneak into the Governor's Mansion. The brothers led by the Yan family have all gone out. Now is a good opportunity. If you control Old Man Yan, you can replace them." Chen Huiping said excitedly. She really has enough of this kind of poor life to please people and be a socialite.
Huang Lan felt that things were not so easy. "Governor Yan transferred a battalion of troops to the Governor's Office. It was not easy to get in, let alone take Governor Yan hostage."
"Then let's go and catch Yi Huan. She lives alone in a small western-style building. The guards are not strictly guarded. It should be easy to catch her. Let her take people in." Chen Huiping came up with another idea.
"No, Yan family, you can move anyone you want, but you can't move Yi Huan." Huang Lan disagreed.
Chen Huiping sneered and asked, "Don't you still regard Yi Huan as your friend?"
"What does it mean to be a friend? Huanhuan is my friend. I will never allow you to hurt her." Huang Lan said firmly.
"Shan Feng, you are not loyal, you are making a fool of yourself, who is Yi Huan? She is Yan Zihui's wife, and a person on the cards. If you can protect her for a while, can you still protect her for the rest of your life?" Chen Huiping said coldly.
Huang Lan pursed her lips and said nothing, with a stubborn expression.
Chen Huiping continued, "Shanfeng, you are not afraid of death. Do you ignore your parents, nieces and nieces? Shanfeng, are you really planning to ignore the life and death of your relatives for an outsider?"
Huang Lan remained silent and lowered her head.
"Shanfeng, you have to think it through." Chen Huiping curled the corners of her lips, and when Huang Lan left, she immediately arranged for someone to go to the small foreign building. She should not let Huang Lan, a fool, ruin a big deal.
That night, a group of people in night clothes tiptoed to the small foreign building. Yan Zi returned to arrange guards outside the small foreign building. As soon as the group approached, they discovered them and immediately passed the news to the small foreign building. Song Han was almost asleep. After receiving the news, he jumped up and immediately knocked on the servant room next to him. "Dad, a group of unidentified people have come over. I guess it is to be unfavorable to the young lady. Please ask your mother to invite the young lady down."
Song Laogen quickly entered the house and called Song Cui, asking her to go upstairs to find Yi Huan; Yi Huan was already asleep, Yan Zi was not at home, and she went to bed on time at 10 o'clock every day. Song Cui knocked on the door and shouted in a low voice, "Mrs. Young Madam, Young Madam."
Yi Huan heard the shout, twisted the light, opened the door and saw Song Cui, and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
"Mrs. Young lady, a bad guy sneaked in. My son is afraid that you will be in danger and wants you to go downstairs." Song Cui said hurriedly.
Yi Huan frowned. Has the situation been so bad? "I will change my clothes and go down to call Shaoxia downstairs." Yi Huan closed the door and changed into a shirt and trousers. If I want to escape, wearing pants is more important than wearing a skirt.
After thinking about it, Yi Huan opened the drawer again, packed the money inside, put it in a cloth bag, tied it to her waist, found the pistol from under the pillow, put it in a small bag, and then used the pillow to make a personal shape and cover it with the quilt. After Yi Huan felt that everything was right, she turned off the light, opened the door and walked out.
"Miss Four." Shaoxia groped over, and when she was scared, her name changed to something she knew.
"With Song Han here, there are guards outside, don't be afraid." Yi Huan said as she held her hand.
"I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid." Shaoxia said with a trembling voice.
Before the three of them got downstairs, they heard a gunshot from "Bang". In the darkness, Yi Huan seemed to see a flash of light passing by the window. Song Cui and Shaoxia shivered and almost slid down the stairs. Yi Huan was also a little worried and scared. What was going on outside? I wonder who wanted to be unfavorable to her?
The leading man in black looked back and asked in a low voice, "Who the fuck fired? We are going to kidnap people, not to kill people."
The man in black had not answered yet, "Blow!" Two more gunshots were heard. Someone asked, "Boss, what should I do now?"
"Damn it, since it's alarmed, let's do it with a clear sword and a spear. So many of us don't believe that we can't catch that little girl." The leading man in black said fiercely.
Yi Huan reached into the bag and held the pistol. Tonight, I wonder if she could escape unstoppably?
Song Han approached the window and looked outside vigilantly. He saw someone turning over from the wall, dodging and running into the house, nervously even his breath became thicker. Song Laogen stood behind the door and looked out through the gaps in the hinge of the door. Yi Huan went down to the first floor, and saw the Song family's father and son as if they were facing a great enemy through the moonlight, and couldn't help but get nervous. He took out his pistol, but didn't know where to aim.
"Madam Young, hide under the stairs." Song Han turned around and said. Shaoxia grabbed the long-necked bottle on the high table as a weapon, while Song Cui picked up the broom leaning against the corner.
Yi Huan hid behind the stairs, poked her head out, and asked, "Song Han, can you catch the survivor?" She wanted to know who wanted to kill her? Why did such an important person in Jizhou City target her?
"Try to be as humble as possible." Song Han said in a deep voice.
