Siheyuan: Married a female spy at the beginning of 1944

"Well, I haven't eaten yet, so I'll treat you to a meal."

He Daqing plans to go to a restaurant to have something delicious.

So he took Jia Yuan out with him.

When he walked to the door, he met Yan Bugui again. He Daqing asked Yan Bugui if he wanted to come along.

Yan Bugui, the father of three children, was very happy when he heard that He Daqing wanted to treat everyone, and that they were going to a restaurant.

My mouth is watering.

"Okay, okay. I haven't talked to Daqing for a long time. It's just right for us to chat and reminisce about the past."

Yan Bugui shamelessly followed He Daqing and Jia Yuan to Fengzeyuan, a relatively large hotel in Peking.

Yan Bugui and Jia Yuan were surprised to see that the place He Daqing invited them to dinner was actually this place.

I suddenly felt very proud.

They also felt that He Daqing attached great importance to them.

In fact, in He Daqing's view, it was just a simple meal.

Naturally find a better place.

He Daqing chose a table closer to the corner.

Call the waiter and start taking orders.

"Hey guys, take your order."

"Sir, please wait a moment."

The waiter put the towel in his hand on his arm, took out a menu and handed it to He Daqing.

He Daqing ordered a few dishes at random and asked for a bowl of noodles.

As for Jia Yuan and Yan Bugui, He Daqing handed the menu to them and motioned for them to order one as well.

Jia Yuan took the menu, looked at the prices on the back, and said he didn't know how to order.

Then he handed the menu to Yan Bugui.

Yan Bugui flipped through several pages and finally ordered a plate of Mapo Tofu.

There were many dishes that he had never heard of.

Even if I've heard of it, I don't know what it is made of.

Another thing is the price of this menu, which really made him feel guilty.

He estimated in his mind that this meal would basically cost him a month's salary.

Although I knew He Daqing was rich, I didn't dare order anything too expensive.

"Hey man, when can the food be served?"

"Gentlemen, I'm afraid you'll have to wait a while. You came too early and the kitchen staff isn't all here yet. But we've prepared tea and some peanuts and sunflower seeds for you for free.

You can chat first."

He Daqing nodded, and the waiter went downstairs tactfully.

After a while, a pot of hot tea and two plates of peanuts and melon seeds were brought.

After pouring tea for the three people, the waiter continued to wipe the table.

"Daqing, can you tell us what Hong Kong is like?"

Yan Bugui is more concerned about two places: Hong Kong and Taiwan.

"What else can it be? It's pretty much the same as before, but the British rule isn't as harsh as the Japanese."

In other words, the British just want money and don't care about anything else.

Unlike the Japanese, who want both money and life."

During the years that He Daqing lived in Hong Kong, he discovered that the British Hong Kong government paid almost no attention to the lower classes of Hong Kong.

The bottom layer is almost in anarchy.

Various criminal acts are emerging one after another.

Everyone seeks the shelter of a group.

This is also the main reason why the Hong Kong underworld was rampant during this period.

He Daqing is the local boss in Sham Shui Po.

In Sham Shui Po, he has the final say and makes all kinds of rules.

Fortunately, he is a good man with conscience and morals.

If it were those guys who had no ability and no conscience, the residents of Sham Shui Po would probably have to live in a dire social environment.

After hearing what He Daqing said, their curiosity about Hong Kong decreased a lot.

The Hong Kong at that time was far from the Hong Kong of later times when it was reformed and opened up.

Everyone is just curious about what the ceded land of Hong Kong looks like.

What is the situation of the people living there?

"Qing, since it's not good over there, why don't you come back? You can make money there.

In the end, it was under the jurisdiction of foreigners, unlike now, when we poor people can be the masters of our own house.”

When Yan Bugui heard what He Daqing said, he suddenly felt superior.

He felt that He Daqing's life must not be so easy.

Even if you have money, you may still have to live in fear and try to curry favor with the British all the time.

Being a dog for the British.

So he persuaded He Daqing to come back.

He Daqing doesn't want to come back.

If He Daqing was a poor man, he would naturally be willing to come back.

But the problem is that He Daqing is now a rich man.

Outside, he can marry several wives and use money to buy various services.

Even if he kills someone in Hong Kong now, there will be no law to punish him.

But it doesn’t work in the mainland.

The policies and laws in the mainland are not meant to serve the rich at all.

Although you have money, you can bribe mainland officials and ask them to do things for you.

But this is illegal and against the rules after all.

If one day an impartial and just official appears, all these crimes and acts of bribing officials will be exposed.

When the time comes, the punishment for multiple crimes will definitely not be light.

But it’s different outside.

First of all, if you don’t have money, you can’t even afford a good lawyer.

Secondly, the jury system is really great.

Some people may feel that the jury reflects the social morality of the majority.

Letting these people judge whether a person is guilty or not is more in line with public expectations.

However, the opposite is true.

In the mainland, the laws are clear and as long as there is sufficient evidence, the criminal cannot escape.

But it is not like this outside. Even if there is sufficient evidence, the criminal can be exonerated in other ways.

And they can also bribe juries, judges, and lawyers.

Moreover, it is a reasonable and legal bribe.

Don't worry about being held accountable later.

He Daqing has lived on both sides, so he is more familiar with both sides.

He just couldn't understand why the poor people thought the country was bad when they saw rich people immigrating?

Don’t you think about why rich people immigrate?

It’s because he has money but no power.

Isn’t it because we can’t do whatever we want?

Isn’t it because they have made mistakes themselves and are afraid of being held accountable later?

The main reason they immigrate is because they feel insecure.

The main reason is that we want to talk about common prosperity.

When all the rich people in the world immigrate to our country, that will be the nightmare of the poor.

"I won't come back. I can do whatever I want over there. I can marry several wives. Can I do that here?"

When Yan Bugui heard this, he felt a pang in his heart.

He could have said with confidence that he also had two wives.

But it's gone now.

"Daqing, how can you think like that? Marrying two wives is disrespectful to women. Think about it, what kind of life do concubines live?"

"How can I disrespect her? She's the one who feeds us a lot at home, and her clothes and things are much better than others. I didn't hit her or scold her.

Besides, I didn't force her to do this. She took the initiative to become my concubine."

Yan Bugui was speechless.

Women in this period did not talk about women's rights.

Being a concubine of a rich man is not something that ordinary people can do.

Besides, a concubine is a regular employee and is different from the temporary worker mistress in later generations.
