Chapter 240

I'd better not do that outrage

Qiao ruochu didn't see Lin Junmai in the next ten months. All she knew was that he was fighting in Jiangxi and Hunan, which were small-scale battles. The government didn't publicize much. What she received from the front were telegrams or letters for peace.

In the middle of April, good news came from Lin Junmai. He won the battle of Shanggao. He was awarded the rank of lieutenant general of the army because of military industry. He was also promoted to the rank of deputy commander of the newly formed sixth theater.

And he was the youngest deputy commander in several war zones.

Qiao ruochu, together with Gu Jun, Xi Nuo and others in Chongqing, devoted himself to the issue of folk fund-raising for the country.

Life in Chongqing is getting harder and harder.

The Japanese blockade became tighter and tighter, the bombing became more and more frequent, the materials from outside could not be transported in, the local production was seriously damaged, and the inflation became more and more serious day by day.

Qiao ruochu and his family are having a hard time. The children they bring are picky eaters. When they can't buy delicious food, they will cry and make the adults upset.

Zhou Yucheng's child is good, but he is too timid. As long as there is a little explosion, he hides in the basement, stares at his big eyes, tears silently, and doesn't answer anything.

His nurse sister-in-law Yang has always said that there is something wrong with the child's character. I don't know if he will get better when he grows up in the future.

Qiao ruochu is very guilty.

Mengniang entrusted her with her child. She hardly cared about it. It was his nurse Yang who took care of him all the time. Yang was illiterate. Although she was stable, she could not educate her children as well as she wanted.

"Qingqing, why don't you talk?" Jo asked him.

The more than three-year-old raised her big round eyes and asked, "are you my mother? Why don't you ever let me call you mom? "

Qiao ruochu thought of mengniang. He was very sad and held the child in his arms. "Qingqing, I'm not your mother. Your mother went out to work. When Qingqing grew up, she came back."

The child cried, "I miss my mother."

"Child, your mother also wants you, but she really has something to do..." Qiao ruochu said here, inadvertently glanced at sister-in-law Yang's worried face, and asked: "sister-in-law Yang, do you have anything to say?"

"Ma'am, as we often say, mother and son are heart to heart, celebrating his mother, is there anything wrong?"

Children don't know if they understand, and suddenly cry more.

"Sister Yang, you look at the child. I'll go out and inquire." Although Qiao ruochu didn't know where mengniang had gone, she knew someone must know her whereabouts.

Xu enzeng.

Mengniang can't be stupid enough to go to the battlefield with a gun. According to Qiao ruochu's judgment, she must have picked up her old business and thrown it into the door of Zhongtong.

When Qiao ruochu finds Xu enzeng's office, he hears the announcement and makes a slight adjustment

I came out to meet him by collar. "I saw a peach blossom on my way to the office this morning. I didn't expect that the luck of peach blossom would follow. I didn't expect that Mrs. Lin would come."

"Director Xu, I'm here today to ask you about yourself. I don't know if it's too rash?" She hesitated on her way here. She didn't know if she needed to discuss it with Xi Nuo. Xu enzeng's eyes fell on Qiao ruochu for a long time, then he said with a smile, "if Mrs. Lin has anything to say, as long as someone Xu knows, she will know everything."

When she got to his office and sat down, Xu enzeng motioned the people around him to wait outside, which made Qiao ruochu feel a little embarrassed. She opened the door to the mountain and said, "has director Xu ever taken a woman named mengniang?"

Xu en once frowned, "mengniang? What's your real name? "

Qiao ruochu recalled it with great effort, and said slowly, "her husband's surname is Zhou, and her name is Yishu."

"Zhou Yishu."

Xu en once read it, thought for a moment, and said to Qiao ruochu with a smile: "I need three or two days to check and confirm. Please wait patiently for Mrs. Lin."

"Please director Xu, I'll come back in three days." Qiao ruochu stood up, bowed to thank him, and then left.

"No hurry, no hurry. I have some women's perfume, such as Paris perfume, snow clams, bird's nest, and so on. Xu enzeng opened the safe beside him and put some valuables in front of Qiao ruochu“

It's a pity to leave it with me, but for you, you are in material tension during the war, you have money in your hand, but you have nothing to buy. "

His meaning could not be more obvious.

"To be honest with director Xu, if you were born in a market house, you would live a rough life, and you would like to live in such a precious thing..." Qiao said with a smile. He didn't use his eyes to look at those things at all. "You'd better not do that outrageous thing."

Although she claimed that she was not from a high family, she exuded plum blossom like purity all over her body. Her temperament and charm were not inferior to those of the high class. She was even more reluctant to give up, but she said: "these vulgar things have stained Mrs. Lin's eyes. Xu is ashamed, ashamed."

"It's ruochu who can't make it to the top, which makes director Xu laugh." Qiao ruochu exchanged greetings awkwardly.

I heard that Xu enzeng had many mistresses and loved flowers very much. Even if she had a husband, she would not let them go. She was on the alert and her forehead exuded dense sweat.

Fortunately, when Xu's subordinates report something urgent, Qiao ruochu leaves in a hurry like he has been granted amnesty.

Three days later, she is hesitating whether to go to Xu enzeng again. Qingqing, Zhou Yucheng's child, suddenly has a high fever and her face is red. Qiao ruochu has to take Yang's sister-in-law to send her child to the hospital first. Mengniang can only talk about it at another time.

The day after the child was admitted to the hospital, Xu enzeng took the initiative to send the news. When mengniang was spying on the Japanese puppet government in Shanghai, she accidentally exposed it and was arrested

I'm afraid I can't get out alive.

Qiao ruochu sighs. She knows that people like Xu enzeng can't use their strength to save mengniang. The rescue needs to mobilize the strength of all parties, which costs a lot and may not succeed. Besides, mengniang is just an ordinary intelligence officer.

No one cares about her life.

Give her a medal or something after she dies.

Looking at the pale child on the bed, Joe ruochu's heart is as painful as being stabbed by an awl. Can he just sit and watch him become an orphan without father or mother?

Sorry for a long time, Qiao ruochu made up his mind to do his bit anyway.

She came out of the hospital and called for a car to find Gu Jun“ Ruochu, are you going to save Mrs. Zhou? " Yao Sitong listened to the cause of the matter and kept shaking his head, "where is No. 76? It's impossible for the people who go in to come out alive. What's more, we are in Chongqing. It's hard to pass a message across the mountain and across the sea."

Qiao ruochu was silent for a while. Looking at Gu Jun, he said, "maybe people from the Lu family in Xiangcheng can help."

"The Lu family?" Gu Jun and Yao Sitong asked in unison.

Qiao ruochu nodded, "I remember Lu Dongxiao, the eldest son of the Lu family, returned to Shanghai the year before last. Now the relationship with the Germans is very hot, and Germany and Japan have formed an alliance again. In this way... Will the Japanese sell the face of the Germans?"

Qiao ruochu wanted to go to Japan through the German, and then find someone to help Japan

The fake traitors send some money there, and there's a little chance that they can get mengniang out.

She looks at Gu Jun again and again. She wants to talk but stops. She hears that Lu Dongli hasn't married yet, and she doesn't know if she still loves him.

Yao Sitong also knew about it. She said quickly, "it's impossible for the Lu family to help. Ruochu, I advise you not to waste your time."

"Si Tong, I'll try again." Gu Jun listen to his wife's tone so stiff, eyes some shallow dissatisfaction, turned to Qiao ruochu said: "let's go to Lu's house now."

Qiao ruochu saw Yao Sitong's sad expression when he was wronged by her husband's light responsibility. He was uneasy in his heart. "Mr. Gu, forget it."

She plans to go to Lu's house alone, first to find out.

"Ruochu, wait a minute." Gu Jun stopped her, went into the inner room and took out a few gold bars. "The Lu family is a businessman. Let's not express our sincerity first."

Joe if the beginning Zheng next, quick reaction come over, she so empty two hands go, rather too blind some.

"Mr. Gu, I'll get something from my parents. Let's meet at Lu's residence." Now, she wants to save mengniang's heart is far more than care about Yao Sitong's mood. She glances at her and leaves in a hurry to get things.
