Siheyuan: Married a female spy at the beginning of 1944

Because the Japanese army suffered heavy losses, the atmosphere in the city of Peiping became increasingly tense.

Police officers like Ma Liu are now gaining more and more power.

The Japs have already withdrawn all the Japanese troops in Peking.

The streets that were usually patrolled by the Japanese were now handed over to the police.

In such a big city like Beijing, there are only the gendarmerie and more than 200 devils.

Then there are some clerical positions.

They even organized some Japanese militia.

Let them help patrol.

Ma Liu has been living a very comfortable life during this period.

In addition to the money that He Daqing had given him before, he also colluded with brothels, casinos, and opium dens to defraud a large number of Japanese.

Even his colleagues started to follow suit.

Constantly luring the Japanese into gambling and smoking opium.

He took commissions from it, and in just two months, he earned more than a hundred dollars.

When a man has money, his status in the family is different.

Before, he brought his wife water for washing feet, but now it is his wife who washes his feet.

"Boss, how much did you earn today?"

"It's not possible today. The Japanese are getting poorer and poorer. They don't have much money in their pockets. It's not as easy to deal with them as before.

And your brother also told me to stop making this money."

Ma Liu took his feet out of the foot basin.

His wife immediately wiped him dry with a rag and then quickly poured out the foot washing water.

"Never mind him, we should make money as we can. They are just Japanese devils after all, so we can cheat as many of them as we can."

Ma Liu’s wife’s brother is the director of the police station where Ma Liu works.

Before becoming a policeman, Ma Liu was a gangster. Later, he hooked up with his current wife and was brought to the police station by his brother-in-law to work as a policeman.

Therefore, he was very clear about the methods used by the thugs and was very skilled in using them.

Other policemen follow his example, but they don’t earn as much as he does.

However, any police officer who learns from him will definitely earn an extra five or six dollars a month.

But this also led to a deeper collusion between the police and casino brothels.

"Your brother is just afraid that if he cheats too many people, something bad will happen. Some of the Japanese who were cheated by us before have already gone to the military police to ask for an explanation."

Ma Liu's wife was also a little scared when she heard this. After all, they were Japanese, and she was afraid that the Japanese army would speak for the Japanese.

She asked cautiously

"So what happened? Did you return the money to him?"

Ma Liu smiled disdainfully

"What the hell, even if we return the money to them, they are done for, they have been beaten up, how can these people be good?

He will die sooner or later, and the Japanese look down on such smokers and gamblers. If you are a Japanese businessman wearing a well-dressed suit, go to the gendarmerie and ask for an explanation.

Then they would definitely take it seriously, and might even help the Japanese without asking any questions.

But for a poor gambler, the Japanese soldiers used the butt of their rifles to teach him a lesson. "

When Ma Liu said this, he thought of Abe.

Abe was his first client.

Abe's current daughter-in-law has been sold to a brothel.

Out of sympathy, he visited the store twice.

I have to say, she is better than my own wife.

The Abe family was exploited by those people in the casino.

The daughter-in-law was sold to a brothel, and the little girl was sold to a landlord as a child bride.

Abe's son was also sold and became a beggar on the street with missing limbs.

As for Abe, he went to the Japanese to make the decision for him, crying and wailing.

As a result, he was beaten up and lost his life.

The miserable plight of Abe's family, coupled with the situation of Yueyaer's family, made the house opposite Yan Bugui's house a haunted house in the eyes of everyone.

No matter what kind of family it is, as long as they move in, they will eventually end up broken up.

Life was so comfortable for Abe's family of four when they first moved in.

And he's Japanese, but in the end he was still similar to Yueya.

Now, even if Old Mrs. Tong wants to rent out the house, no one is willing to rent it.

"Since the Japanese don't care, what are you afraid of? Take advantage of this time to make more money and move to a bigger house."

Ma Liu's wife doesn't care about that, she only cares about money.

"Be careful, those brothers have been going too far lately, some of them even forced the Japanese to smoke opium.

Even though the other person doesn't smoke, they still want to beat him up.

If they continue like this, the Japanese high-ranking officials will definitely intervene. Even though they are making money now, if they are not careful, they will end up having their property confiscated and beheaded.”

Ma Liu is very smart.

He is now showing some signs of stopping.

On the one hand, we find that things are getting bigger and bigger, and more and more excessive.

On the other hand, his brother-in-law warned him.

Over the years, I have often been cheated out of some small amounts of money by my brother-in-law.

But when it comes to major issues, his brother-in-law is still very reliable.

When Ma Liu's wife heard that the house would be raided and the head would be beheaded, she subconsciously shrank her neck.

"Hey, I want you to earn a few hundred dollars more so we can buy a courtyard house."

Ma Liu and his friends now live in a slum.

Ma Liu's brother-in-law lives in a courtyard house.

Ma Liu's wife also wanted to move to a house similar to her brother's, although she knew that her husband was definitely not as good as her brother.

But I still want to make my life better, and be able to say a few tough words when I go home.

Unlike now, when she brought Ma Liu back to her mother's house, the two of them were like grandsons.

Ma Liu was scolded by her elder brother, while she was beaten by her sister-in-law.

Every time I go home for the holidays, I feel so angry.

"Forget it. Living in a courtyard house? Why would we live in a courtyard house? How can we live in such a big yard?

If you can give me five or six sons, we will buy a courtyard house, and then the whole yard will be filled with our children and grandchildren.

Now you can't even give birth to a girl, why do you buy such a big yard?"

Ma Liu never dared to say this before.

I've made some money during this period, and I feel more confident, so I just speak out what's on my mind.

When Ma Liu's wife heard this, she didn't get angry as usual.

She actually felt very guilty about this matter.

She bit her lip, then exhaled and said

"Liuzi, how about you go out and give birth to a child, then bring the baby back and we can raise it together."

She had been thinking about this idea for a long time.

She knew that they must have a descendant, otherwise they would be extremely miserable when they were old.

When I was young, I didn’t think much of it.

Now that I am a little older, I have seen so many examples of people going bankrupt.

Scared.

In this day and age, people are really starving to death.

Many people have no children, are old and unable to work, so they can only rely on begging or help from relatives.

There are no pensions these days.

Unlike the old men and women in their seventies and eighties in later generations who can still dance square dance.

At this time, if you don’t have children, it will be almost impossible to make money after you are in your 50s.

They can only live on their previous savings or by picking up garbage.

Just think about it, starting to pick up trash at the age of 50 and continuing until death, how cruel that is.

Not only do you have to work in a dirty and messy environment every day.

You also have to face the contempt and indifference of people around you.
