What a beautiful white lotus

The situation in China is getting worse day by day. The Japanese army occupied Nanjing and carried out a large-scale massacre of Chinese prisoners of war and civilians throughout Nanjing. Countless people died under the knife of the Japanese army every day.The government could no longer control public opinion, newspapers were full of articles accusing the Japanese army of brutality and the government's incompetence, and the whole of China was panicked; Ye's life became more and more difficult every day, and the amount of food for each meal was decreasing. There are at least three meat dishes, three vegetarian dishes, and a pot of soup for the whole family to eat, and now one meat and one vegetable are reduced. Except for the pregnant woman Su Ying who has extra meals, the rest of the people even reduced their afternoon snacks.The cost of more than a hundred pieces of fabric is quite high, and the Ye family has taken all the floating funds to the factory, and the fabric must be produced as soon as possible.

Although life is a bit bitter, things have turned around, and it should be better than the previous days, but on this day, Ye Rongqiu found that the atmosphere in the entire Ye Mansion was not quite right.

The whole family was eating, when Su Ying suddenly put the bowls and chopsticks on the table, took out the handkerchief and started crying.Everyone was stunned, and Su Li, who was sitting next to her, quickly put down the bowl and chopsticks and patted her on the back: "Mom, what's wrong with you?" Su Li is the eldest daughter of Ye Huachun and Su Ying, and she is 13 years old now.

Su Ying grabbed the elder daughter's hand, and said harshly: "Xiao Li, after the new year, you should stop going to school and learn from the daughters of ordinary families. You can learn to work as a female worker at home, and you can make ends meet!"

Su Li was taken aback, Ye Huachun interrupted loudly: "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Ye Rongqiu was startled: "Sister-in-law, what's going on?"

Su Ying twisted her handkerchief and wiped her tears: "I'm talking nonsense? If things go on like this, will I still be able to pay next year's tuition?"

Ye Huachun looked anxious: "Okay, okay! Everyone is eating, you say a hammer!"

Not to be outdone, Su Ying pointed to the dishes on the table and said, "Don't tell me when you're eating, when will you say it? You won't even be able to eat enough. When the third child comes out, is there still milk to drink?"

Ye Xiangmin, who was sitting on the first seat, said in a low voice to the servants who were waiting on the side: "Tell the kitchen, after the meal is finished, stew a cup of chicken soup and send it to Second Grandma's room."

Su Ying stared at Ye Xiangmin resentfully, and she didn't want everyone's ladylike demeanor, and said with resentment and annoyance: "What's the use of you cooking chicken soup for me! Can you still eat a lot? I know, I know, you don't want to Let the second master know that he reads books, writes and writes at home every day, and doesn't care about anything else, and he has nothing to do with it if the sky falls outside! But he recruited the matter after all, he doesn't care, and neither of you can care about it!"

Ye Huachun was so anxious that he kept winking at his wife, but he was an earbud, he could manage things outside, but he couldn't control his wife at home.Su Ying embraced her two daughters, perhaps infected by her mother's emotions, or perhaps frightened, the two little girls also began to cry.Su Ying wiped her tears and said: "I know you're going to blame me for saying these things, but I'm not doing it for myself, I'm doing it for my three children. There are so many mouths to eat for a big family, how can we do this! "She held her protruding belly and looked at Ye Rongqiu earnestly: "Second brother, I beg you, think of a way, your elder brother really has nothing to do, he can't handle Huang Sanye, anyone can do it But him. Mr. Huang is here for you, you must have a way!"

Ye Rongqiu looked at Ye Huachun blankly: "Second brother, did something... happen again?"

Ye Huachun sighed sadly: "Oh!"

Ye Rongqiu's eyes turned to his father again, Ye Xiangmin lowered his head and said nothing.

The men didn't speak, Su Ying yelled again: "Okay! They don't say it, I say it! Second Master, didn't you find someone to order a batch of cloth? All our family's money has been invested in it, so we can buy it." In order to quickly get the cloth out for delivery. Now that the cloth is ready, people say no more!"

Ye Rongqiu loosened his hand, and the bowl fell on the table: "No more?! Why?!"

"Ah." Ye Huachun sighed again: "I called Principal Song during the day today and asked him how the delivery was on the [-]th of the year, but he told me that I don't want cloth anymore. Why should I do it for him? After asking a few words, he hung up the phone. I went to find someone in the afternoon, but he also avoided seeing me, and I suspected it was Huang San's trick again."

Ye Rongqiu immediately lost his strength and lay down on the back of the chair.Although Principal Liu and the others gave a deposit, that deposit was not enough at all. In order to buy raw materials, the Ye family put all the working capital in the shop into it. Now Principal Song no longer wants them, and no one buys their cloth. The son is going to drink the northwest wind.

Ye Rongqiu murmured in a daze: "How... how..." He thought that Principal Liu and Mr. Huang would have nothing to do with each other, so he happily accepted the business.Unexpectedly, Huang San's hand could be stretched so long, and now they were completely pushed into the pit of fire.

Su Ying cried loudly, Ye Xiangmin couldn't help shaking his head, Ye Huachun was so anxious to pull his wife away, Su Ying pulled him away suddenly, and said loudly: "I know Second Master, you are very thin-skinned, you can't bear to see him Huang Sanye. You introduce me, I will beg him, I will kneel down to him, I will kowtow to him, begging him to let our Ye family go!"

Ye Xiangmin couldn't listen anymore, and kept patting the table: "Boss! Take your wife down to rest!"

Ye Xiangmin helped Su Ying up, and carried her into the house with a pleading face. Su Ying turned her head to look at Ye Rongqiu and said loudly while walking: "Second master! The family really can't hold on anymore! If we go any further, the pot will be exposed." Stop it! I beg you, I really beg you, think of a way!"

Ye Rongqiu's slender fingers twisted the chopsticks tightly, feeling angry, but more sad.His anger comes not only from Principal Song's betrayal, but also from his family's blame.Su Ying knew about Huang Sanye's intentions, but she made such a request to herself. Could it be that she wanted herself to seduce people like those despicable actor-advocate actors?But he also knew that what Su Ying said was right, and now everyone in the Ye family was suffering with him.If this continues, the Ye family will not be able to hold on.Do you really want to ask Mr. Huang...

After Ye Huachun's family of four returned to the house, only Ye Xiangmin, Ye Rongqiu and his son were left on the dining table.

Ye Rongqiu cried helplessly: "Father..."

Ye Xiangmin didn't speak for a while, and suddenly heaved a long sigh: "Xiaoqiu, it's because father is not capable enough."

Ye Rongqiu suddenly felt that he had been slapped severely.The pumping was so hard that even my chest hurt.

Ye Xiangmin said: "It's okay, Xiaoqiu, you don't have to be afraid, dad can't let you suffer. Dad took a business out of town a while ago. If he did well, it would be enough for our family for half a year. There is a small problem, and the funds have not been turned over for a while. Wait a few days, wait a few more days, it will definitely be fine, get the money, everything will be fine.”

Seeing Ye Xiangmin's hesitant expression, Ye Rongqiu knew that his deal might also fail.He asked in a trembling voice, "How much money do you have at home?"

Ye Xiangmin didn't say a word.

Ye Rongqiu asked again, and Ye Xiangmin said with a wry smile: "Baby, don't worry, the boat will go straight when it reaches the bridge. Anyway, let's have a good time this year, and think about those troublesome things after the new year."

Ye Rongqiu didn't ask any more questions.He went upstairs directly, broke into Ye Xiangmin's room, and found out the account book at home.The numbers on the ledger made him gasp, only to realize that what Su Ying said was true.If things go on like this, let alone the children in the family study, they will not even be able to pay for the confinement mother-in-law after giving birth to the little nephew.Ye Xiangmin said that they can celebrate the New Year, but after the New Year, their family will go to drink the Northwest Wind.

Ye Rongqiu put the ledger back to its original place, rushed back to his room, and smashed everything that could be smashed.Ye Xiangmin came upstairs and knocked on his door, and he yelled, "Go away! Leave me alone!!" Then no matter how the people outside knocked on the door or persuaded him, he refused to open the door.

The lights in the room were not turned off, and the black dog could see that the people in the room were going crazy.Black shadows flew around, it was Ye Rongqiu who was smashing things.He smiled, squatted on the ground, took out a cigarette and lit it, lit the cigarette but didn't turn off the flame immediately, and roasted his cold hands with the embers of the match until the match went out by itself.

Ye Rongqiu locked himself in the room for a whole night, and didn't come out of the room until the next day.His face was haggard, obviously he didn't rest well last night.

Ye Xiangmin and Ye Huachun asked about his condition worriedly, but he didn't say anything, just sat down at the table, ate a bowl and copied his hand, and said, "I'm going out."

Ye Huachun stopped him in surprise: "Xiao Qiu, you are not going to do something stupid, are you?"

Ye Rongqiu put his hand in his pocket, touched the folding fruit knife in his pocket, and said, "Brother, dad, don't worry, I'm calm. I just go to talk to Huang San, like my sister-in-law said, I knelt down and begged him Let our family go."
