[Gone With the Wind] Daughter Difficult

What is the 3K Klan, the exact Scarlett is really not clear, but there is something Scarlett can be sure of - the 3K Klan uses violent means to hope to control and liberate the status of the blacks, and the free blacks, the Republican Party and the Republican Party The whites in the south couldn't get through it. Their methods were bloody and their actions were brutal. This is actually terrible.

In the past few years, the 3K Klan was suppressed by the Republicans and the northern army, and because of the condemnation of public opinion, it has restrained a lot. Only occasionally, some black people who were beaten badly said that it was the rumor of the 3K Klan. , however there is no substantive evidence for these.

Scarlett thought they had disbanded.

Her previous husband also died when he clashed with black people in order to avenge her because of his participation in the Ku Klux Klan.

This thing has been going on for several years.However, Scarlett never forgot her helplessness and shock when she heard the news of Frank's death.

Did Ashley still join the Ku Klux Klan?

Could it be that Ashley...has he forgotten how Frank died in the first place?

Scarlett was in a state of disarray. She was worried that Ashley's entanglement with those people would lead to death, and she was faintly disappointed in Ashley.

Scarlett couldn't deal with too many thoughts for a while.

"Melanie is like this now, how long do you want to hide?" Scarlett suddenly said aggressively, "You know, they, they... If you join them, you may die like Frank. She found her voice trembling, and she was as afraid of losing Ashley as she was of losing Melanie.

Ashley was silent for a long time, and finally couldn't bear the blame and suffering of his conscience, and came out on the tray.

The two blacks were black slaves from the Gesanler and Reston families respectively. Even after the war was defeated and the blacks were liberated, they were the same as Black Mama, Polk and others. Loyal to the Reston family.

The Gessenler family and the Reston family are typical southern slave owners, and their sphere of influence was even wider than that of the O'Hara and Wilkes families.After the defeat, they relied on assets stored abroad to turn around, but they have always been dissatisfied with the emancipation of blacks, and want to overthrow the rule of the Northern Republican Party and re-establish slavery, so they participated in the Ku Klux Klan with some consensus-minded southern aristocrats.But in the past few years, the cause of the 3K Klan has been hit. Seeing that the southern forces have no hope of turning around, they happened to encounter economic recession, overcapacity of railways, large-scale bankruptcy of factories, and northern capitalists endlessly squeezed and exploited black workers. Such a wonderful opportunity.

There must be someone leading the workers' demonstration, and the leaders are the two "free blacks" Locke and Tom, but behind them is the Ku Klux Klan.

In other words, Locke and Tom are simply black people who are undercover in the union.

After hearing the truth, Scarlett was completely shocked.

I don't know if Ashley knew that the 3K Klan was planning such a thing behind the scenes, but if Ashley had anything to do with the 3K Klan, Melanie could be regarded as being accidentally injured by "one of her own" this time.

Thinking that Melanie's original intention of going out was to discuss with the circle of southern aristocratic wives how to alleviate the workers' strike, Scarlett felt like a thorn in her heart. How ironic it is. Melanie hopes that this society will Progress is for good, but some white people who are still greedy for slavery in the past have been trying to overthrow the existing Northern Republican rule.

This is all nonsense.

Scarlett also hated the Northern Republicans who destroyed their homes, destroyed large swaths of the South, and destroyed her life, but shouldn't people look forward?During the war, their homes and land were looted, and Atlanta was almost destroyed. The dilapidated traces of the war can still be seen everywhere today, and the reconstruction over the years has not completely restored Atlanta to its former prosperity.

To put it bluntly, the South no longer has much capital to become independent again.

"How could you, how could you..." Scarlett clutched her chest, feeling a little out of breath, "Melanie almost died, you know that?"

"I know." Ashley said dejectedly, "I know..."

"Why do you still do this? What if you, you, die because of this time? Or, if you are found out, they will take you into prison." Scarlett held back her anger and stood up. Walking in front of Ashley, "Is Melanie still pregnant with your child? Her life was saved...you look at me," she pressed her hands on Ashley's shoulders, forcing Ashley to Look up, "promise me, get rid of them, and don't do this kind of thing again, okay? Just treat it for Melanie, for me, for each of us, okay?"

Ashley looked at Scarlett, those beautiful green eyes were holding back tears and turned darker green, the disappointment and pain were palpable, ever since he realized that this was a conspiracy by the 3K Klan, Ashley has been suffering a lot The reproach of conscience and endless regret haunted his heart deeply, "I..."

"Okay?" Scarlett asked.

"it is good."

However, from beginning to end, Scarlett did not find Rhett standing in the corner.

☆☆☆

During dinner, Bonnie obviously felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere.

Today's dinner table was a little silent, Scarlett and Ashley's expressions were depressed, and even Xiaobo was affected.

Rhett was pleasant to her, but under the usual tenderness and meticulousness, Bonnie could feel that he was in a bad mood.

The three of them had something on their minds. According to Bonnie's analysis, the problem must have arisen when the two black men came here today. When did Rhett come back?Did he already know about those people?

Bonnie couldn't figure it out, if she came out this afternoon to take a sneak peek, maybe she could find out why the two of them got along better a while ago, but today they returned to their original form, as if they had gone backwards.

After dinner, Rhett took Bonnie and several other children into the nursery to play, and Scarlett also walked in.

Rhett didn't look at Scarlett, Scarlett didn't find anything wrong, she kissed every child, played with Bonnie and Ella for a while, and was about to leave, Ella suddenly pulled Scarlett , "Mom, where are you going?"

Scarlett dearly said: "Mom is going to take care of Aunt Lanny, she hasn't recovered yet."

Ella didn't quite understand what happened to Melanie, "What happened to Aunt Lanie? Will she get better?"

Although Scarlett has put more effort into her children during this period, she has been exhausted these days. She was still thinking about Ashley and the KKK all afternoon, and she really didn't have time to entangle with the children. Looking at the children, this is the moment when she can relax the most.

She pulled Aila's hand away and said perfunctorily, "Yes, yes..."

"Ella, don't drag your mother, she has to take good care of Mrs. Wilkes." Rhett interrupted suddenly.

If Scarlett hadn't heard the gunpowder in this sentence, she would have lived in vain all these years: "Red, what do you mean?"

"Isn't that obvious?" Rhett looked at Scarlett with a half-smile.

not good!

Bonnie's sense of crisis surged up.

"Mom and Dad, what are you talking about?" Bonnie interrupted immediately.

"It's nothing, my dear," Rhett looked at Bonnie with a smile, and said to Ella again: "Ella, your mother is going to take care of Aunt Lanny now, let's not disturb her, okay?"

Bonnie nodded, and put the doll in her hand to Ella: "Sister, this is for you, I can't even braid it well, can you help me?"

Ella took it over immediately, forgetting about Scarlett in an instant.

Before Scarlett went out, she glared at Rhett viciously.

Rhett smiled nonchalantly.

Bonnie frowned.

Xiao Bo, who was reading at the side, patted Bonnie's head.
