Chapter 210 [Autumn Cicada 27]
After dinner, Jiang Yue took Youyou to sit on the sofa and chat.
"Youyou, if you hadn't saved me, I might not be in this world anymore." Jiang Yue said with emotion.
"Aunt Jiang, you were the best to me when we were little. How could I not save you when you were in danger? Besides, I know what he did in the past. He always thought that I didn't know, but I saw those things with my own eyes. From that moment on, I wanted to escape from his bondage. I didn't want to be the same as him. But you know, Aunt Jiang, how can you live in a family like that without a pair of bloody hands? Fortunately, I have been in poor health since I was a child, and he didn't dare to kill in front of me. Later, for my health, he sent me to study in the UK." Youyou recalled the past.
"Everything is over, your poor child. You will always have Aunt Jiang in the future. Aunt Jiang will always be your relative and your supporter." Jiang Yue comforted Youyou.
"Yes, thank you very much, Aunt Jiang." said Youyou.
"If possible, you can also call me mom. You were very cute when you were a child. I have always wanted to have a little cotton-padded jacket. Unfortunately, I was injured when I was pregnant with Ye Chong, so this wish cannot be realized." Jiang Yue said.
"Mom." Youyou called out openly.
"Oh, my dear girl." Jiang Yue smiled happily, and the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes were all revealed.
Youyou was also very happy, as she now had one more relative in this world.
"It would be great if that brat Ye Chong was here right now. I could tell him that he has a new sister." Jiang Yue said.
Youyou smiled. She also wanted to know how Ye Chong would react when he knew that his mother adopted her as her daughter. The daughter-in-law he had originally got disappeared and became a good sister.
"Mom, what do you think will be brother's reaction when he finds out? You won't blame me for taking you away, right? After all, brother is your baby, the one you carried for ten months and gave birth to. As soon as I came here, I stole your attention. Will brother be unhappy?" Youyou said pretending to be worried.
"Don't worry, mother is on your side. If Ye Chong bullies you, mother will beat him up for you. He is thick-skinned and it won't matter if he is beaten more. As a girl, we should just be responsible for being beautiful. Leave everything to your brother." Jiang Yue said.
"Thank you, mom. You're the best." Youyou said.
"You kid." Jiang Yue was more and more satisfied with Youyou the more she looked at him. She didn't know which boy would marry this girl in the future, or which boy would be lucky enough to marry my precious daughter.
At this moment, Ye Chong sneezed for some reason, and sneezed several times in a row.
Seeing this, Lin Xiaozhuang said jokingly, "Brother, is it possible that someone missed you, or that you have a cold? No, it's definitely not that someone missed you. How could anyone like you with such an icy face? They must be blind."
"Xiao Zhuang, I think you are itching to tease me. You have even learned to make fun of me." Ye Chong said in a serious tone.
"Okay, I don't know you yet, brother. Let me ask you, do you still like Qingquan Keiko and can't forget her?" Lin Xiaozhuang asked.
"I...I...I can't forget her. You know, every time I close my eyes these years, I can't help but think of her. Xiaozhuang, do you think that if I had been with her at the beginning, she would not have died and would still be alive and well?" Ye Chong said with his head down, his tone very dull.
"Brother, the best way to forget someone is to start a new relationship. Brother, you might as well give it a try. It might work. Besides, Huizi has been dead for five years. You should always think about yourself." Lin Xiaozhuang comforted.
"Sorry, Xiaozhuang, I can't forget her for the time being. Maybe one day in the future I can, but not now." Ye Chong said.
"Brother, you will definitely meet a better girl in the future." Lin Xiaozhuang said.
"Maybe." Ye Chong said to himself.
"Brother, what are you saying?" Because Ye Chong's voice was very soft, Lin Xiaozhuang didn't hear clearly.
"Nothing. By the way, how are you and He Ying doing? How's it going?" Ye Chong asked.
Over the years, Lin Xiaozhuang has been pursuing He Ying. The reason why it was rumored that Ye Chong liked He Ying was to protect Ye Chong from Qingquan Junko. Huizi was gone, and Qingquan Ueno had been trying to bring Ye Chong and Junko together over the years. Qingquan Ueno hoped that Ye Chong could be his successor, but Ye Chong did not like Junko, so he could only use He Ying as a shield, and it happened that He Ying also needed protection.
"What else can I do? It's just like that. You don't know, that little girl is so hard to woo. She promised to give me a chance before, but she changed her mind after a few days. Oh, it's all tears. Brother, you must have good experience. After all, so many people like you. Can you give me some advice and help me with some reference? He Ying's birthday is in a few days, and I want to give her a special gift, but I really can't think of what to give her." Lin Xiaozhuang said.
"No, no, I don't have much experience. I haven't even dated your brother, so how can I have experience? You should think about it yourself. After all, she is your future girlfriend. What's the point of me giving you advice? Gifts are not important, but friendship is. It's best to choose what you want yourself. I think He Ying will like whatever you give her." Ye Chong said.
"Brother, you can't just stand by and watch me die. Am I still your most beloved brother? Are we still good friends? As the saying goes, a man would risk his life for his brothers. Now that I'm in trouble, how can you not help me?" Lin Xiaozhuang said angrily.
"I can help you with other things, but I can't do anything about this matter." Ye Chong said.
"Brother, you won't be able to find a girlfriend like this?" Lin Xiaozhuang said.
"If I can't find it, then I can't find it. I don't want to look for it anyway." Ye Chong said nonchalantly.
"Brother, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you." Lin Xiaozhuang realized that he might have said something wrong, so he quickly apologized to Ye Chong.
"It's okay." Ye Chong said.
……
In the Military and Political Office, Sato Daizo presented the Medal of Honor to Miyamoto Sorano.
Chi Cheng asked Wei Guoxiang to count the inventory of the clothing factory. They only had two days to complete the first batch of goods.
Wei Guoxiang told Chi Cheng the statistics, and Chi Cheng said, "I plan to destroy all these stocks."
"Why should we burn it? Aren't these all made with our hard work?" Wei Guoxiang asked in confusion.
"I don't want to give these things to the Japanese. The best way is to burn them all," said Chi Cheng.
"Then how can we do it without anyone noticing? Simply burning it won't work," said Wei Guoxiang.
"Use white phosphorus. White phosphorus will spontaneously ignite when it comes into contact with air. Then we can say that the fire was an accidental one, and we can avoid suspicion. I have asked Tang Feng to look for it on the black market." Chi Cheng said.
"That's good, but we have to control the amount of white phosphorus to ensure that there are no accidents." Wei Guoxiang said.
"Yes, but I don't know if I can buy enough white phosphorus. I have already planned to sell the Chi Mansion." Chi Cheng said.
"What? This is your family's main business. You just sold it like that. Isn't it a pity?" Wei Guoxiang said in surprise.
"Now it's the Anti-Japanese War period, how long can the Chi Mansion last? It's better to cash it out and fight against Japan together." Chi Cheng said.
The amount of white phosphorus required is too great, and the space must be reduced.
At this time, a cross-section diagram of the freighter is needed, and Chi Cheng decides to go to Xinghehui tomorrow.
On the other side, Tang Feng used two gold bars to buy white phosphorus. After the purchase, he warned the seller to watch his mouth and not say anything that shouldn’t be said.
Ye Chong felt that Chi Cheng was like his comrade, so he wanted to test him. He felt that Chi Cheng would never give these goods to the Japanese.
So Ye Chong wanted to go and take inventory of the warehouse, but was seen by Chi Cheng, who said, "Major Ye, I have already taken inventory of the warehouse, so you don't have to go and take inventory. If you have any questions, you can go to Wei Guoxiang."
"Okay, thank you President Chi." Ye Chong said.
After Chi Cheng left, Ye Chong sneaked into Chi Cheng's office and found a locked drawer. There happened to be a key on the table. Ye Chong immediately opened the drawer and saw the densely packed formulas inside.
At this time, Wei Guoxiang came. Ye Chong noticed the movement and quickly closed the drawer, pretending to be waiting for someone.
However, the careful Wei Guoxiang later discovered something strange about the drawer: it was not closed properly.
Here, white phosphorus has been obtained, but the house has not been sold yet. Chi Cheng wants to lower the price, because if it is too low, it will not be enough to buy arms.
But for some reason, no one has made an offer recently. Ji Cheng thinks it must be Sato Daizo's doing. He must have put pressure on those who want to buy his house. No one is willing to offend Sato Daizo for a house.
