Siheyuan: Married a female spy at the beginning of 1944

He Daqing actually doesn't have a very deep impression of Abe's daughter-in-law.

Only met a few times.

So it took me a long time to remember it.

This is because Abe's wife's actions and behavior show that she is a Japanese woman.

"this?"

Yi Zhonghai saw He Daqing's expression and knew that He Daqing had recognized him.

"That's right, Xiao An turned out to be the daughter-in-law of Abe from the front yard. Before Japan surrendered, Abe's family was destroyed.

She had nowhere to go, so she lived with Yan Bugui for a while.

Isn’t this a new society? She can’t live in Teacher Yan’s house anymore, so she has to come to my place.”

He Daqing was a little confused when he heard this.

He didn't know yet that back then, men, women, young and old in Beijing killed and robbed the Japanese together.

Yan Bugui actually snatched Abe's wife back.

"Abe's wife? Why is he at Yan Bugui's house?"

Yi Zhonghai actually didn't want to mention this matter.

But he also knew that even if he didn't say it, others would.

It doesn't have to be so bad to hear someone else say it.

"Didn't Abe die that year? Then she was sold to the casino and later redeemed by the Japanese.

Then came the riots that were clearly caused by the Japanese.

Yan Bugui also joined in the fun.

I just happened to see her, and since we were neighbors, Teacher Yan took her home to take care of her.”

Yi Zhonghai said this, but he didn't think so in his heart.

The main reason why he could accept Abe's wife was that he thought she was good, and also because no other woman was willing to marry him.

Ever since Xiao An came to Yan Bugui's house, he has become no different from Yan Bugui's servants.

No, not even as good as a servant.

She has to do all the work in Yan Bugui's house.

Not only that, I also have to take care of Yan Bugui's younger brother occasionally.

She is busy during the day and busy at night, and has not had a good night's sleep for several years.

If the new government had not allowed them to live like this, she might have continued to work as a servant in Yan Bugui's family for a few more years.

Yan Bugui didn't have the courage to go against the policy, but he was reluctant to give up.

Finally, Xiao An was introduced to Yi Zhonghai.

He thought he would have a chance to sneak a bite later.

But unexpectedly, after Xiao An followed Yi Zhonghai, she ignored him.

Now Yi Zhonghai and Xiao An are living a good life.

Xiao An is very capable, obedient and honest.

Yi Zhonghai's house was kept clean and tidy.

After a year together, Yi Zhonghai completely accepted his wife.

By the way, in this era, the relationship between men and women is not that feudal.

There aren't that many requirements for women.

It doesn't mean that you won't marry unless you are a virgin.

During this period, a large number of women were harmed by the Japanese, warlords, ruffians, bandits and hooligans.

Rich and powerful families might be afraid of being embarrassed and not want such a daughter-in-law.

But for the lower class people, marrying a wife is not just for sleeping with.

To have a baby.

They are mainly looking for a life partner.

In addition, there are a large number of widows with children.

For men of this era, they do not refuse to marry such a wife.

A widow with children can still get married.

Even prostitutes can find suitable men.

He Daqing looked at Xiao An, who seemed a little embarrassed, and then looked at He Daqing.

"Didn't we send a group of Japanese back then? Is she unwilling to go back? Or is she unable to go back?"

He Daqing thought that Abe's wife might want to go home, so he asked.

"I don't want to go back. I came here when I was very young. There is no difference between this place and my home."

Abe's wife only said half of what she said.

In fact, her home is gone.

Her family is from a rural area in Japan, and she has never had a good life since she was a child.

There were four people in the family. The parents had starved to death and the younger brother had died in battle in Southeast Asia.

She had nowhere to go when she returned to Japan.

He Daqing didn't ask any further. Since she was Yi Zhonghai's wife, He Daqing didn't bother to care so much.

"You go cook. Daqing will be eating at home today, so make more."

After Yi Zhonghai drove his wife to the kitchen, he began to tell her about the sufferings he had experienced over the years.

Basically, it started from the Japanese invaders and has continued to the present day.

"Daqing, you don't know that I am still being held accountable for the mistakes I made back then.

I went to many departments and asked many people for help before I was able to get into the factory.

But the treatment the factory gave me was not good.

These days, we just get by."

Yi Zhonghai started talking about his misfortunes before he even had a drink.

"Don't feel wronged about this. Many of the people who went in with you died. The fact that you were able to come out alive is due to their lives.

The dead haven't complained yet, so why should you, the living, complain? "

He Daqing knew that Yi Zhonghai had oppressed and persecuted those workers in order to survive.

After hearing what He Daqing said, Yi Zhonghai stopped talking about this matter.

He Daqing had criticized him back then, and he still does so now.

"Forget it, let's not talk about the past. How are you doing in Hong Kong? I heard that you have become a big boss? In other words, what we call a capitalist nowadays?"

"Not really. I just run a small business to make ends meet. Do I look like a big boss?"

He Daqing felt that there was something wrong with Yi Zhonghai.

So I didn’t tell anyone about my situation in Hong Kong.

"Small business? Daqing, tell me, if I go to Hong Kong, can I do small business?"

Yi Zhonghai had had enough of living in Peking.

In Peking, he was often despised and bullied.

He also wanted to follow He Daqing to Hong Kong.

Change place and develop again.

But he doesn't know much about the outside world, so he just wants to ask He Daqing what Hong Kong is like.

If he goes, I wonder if He Daqing can help.

"As for you, I don't know either. You want to go to Hong Kong, too? But if you go there, your life may not be better than it is now."

"Can it be worse than it is now? Now I have nothing except this wife."

Yi Zhonghai is very poor now.

Not only is his salary low, he also has to pay rent every month.

And I have to support a wife.

At the end of a month, I had no savings at all and could barely make ends meet.

“I don’t know. Life in Hong Kong is not easy right now. It’s very chaotic.

There are a lot of gangsters on the streets.

There are also many defectors from the National Government.

If you go to Hong Kong, you may live a better life, or you may end up sleeping on the streets.

No one can say for sure.”

If He Daqing's factory accepted Yi Zhonghai and the other man, their future lives would definitely be better than in Peiping.

At least if these two people lived until the 90s, they could have lived a good life for another to years.

If you stay in Beijing and want to live a good life, you will probably have to wait until after 2000.

In other words, if these two people want to live a good life, at least there is not much hope for them to stay alive.
