Chapter 41: Almost Caught (1/2)



Wang Li ran back home in one breath, her heart still pounding!

I feel so ashamed. You are just giving money to others, what's so scary about that?

The two children ran up to Wang Li and asked, "Auntie, where have you been? Are there any Japanese devils outside?"

Did you go for a run? Your face is red.

Wang Li felt embarrassed, so she changed the subject and asked, "Do the kids like meat patties or egg patties?" The two of them said in unison, "You don't know until you try them."

Wang Li doesn't want to go out recently. She wants to stay at home and teach Cuiyun how to make pancakes.

I wrote a recipe for Cuiyun to make meat patties and asked her to study it at home. When she had learned it, she could go out and find a place to enter the space to get the meat and flour.

That night, Wu Meili came and said that she wanted to take her brother to hide in her hometown in Suzhou. She said that she wanted to thank Wang Li for helping her save her brother, so she gave the barber shop to Wang Li and took the house deed.

Wu Meili said, "Sister Wang, my sister and I are so grateful to you. Without your help, we would not be able to return home. I don't have anything to give you. We are leaving anyway, so I will give you this barber shop. You can open a barber shop or do anything else. There are many people at the entrance of the alley. If anyone asks, just say you bought it. We are afraid that the auxiliary police and spies will cause trouble."

Wang Li said, "Okay, be careful. I gave Wu Meili a cloth bag with fifty silver dollars in it. Take it. Rich people, take more money. Sew the money inside your clothes. You should know that when you go out, you should not show off your wealth, right?"

"Sister Wang, how can this be possible? You helped us, why should I charge you money? Wu Meili kept saying, no, no."

Later he took it and left.

The next day, Wang Li went to handle the transfer formalities and put all the things in the barber shop into the space. She found a decoration team and asked them to renovate the barber shop into a snack bar.

During the shop renovation period, Wang Li did not go out and kept teaching Cuiyun how to make dough, jelly, dandan noodles, meat patties and egg pancakes.

Cuiyun was asked to cook when the business opened, and Wang Li also hired a widow in her thirties from the neighborhood to clean and serve dishes. The two children were clamoring to go to school, but Wang Li did not let them go, mainly because she was afraid that they would join the demonstrations and get caught by the Japanese. In the end, she could not comfort the children anymore, so she let them go.

Wang Li felt that participating in the parade would not achieve anything. It would be better to kill more Japanese soldiers with real swords and guns.

Wang Li had nothing to do that day, so she wanted to go out for a walk. She went to the coffee shop she had been to that day, and she also wanted to see if the underground party had taken the money away.

I sat down and ordered a cup of Blue Mountain. Just after taking a sip, I looked up and saw that the bookstore opposite was closed with a seal on the door.

Wang Li's heart skipped a beat, wondering if the little Japanese kid had robbed her money again. Not knowing what the guy was like, she raised her hand and called for a waiter to come over.

"Hello, do you have any recent newspapers in your store? I wrote a novel and submitted it to the newspaper. I wonder if it has been published yet."

Wang Li was afraid that others would wonder what she wanted to read in the newspaper. People of this generation have to be more careful in everything they do.

Wang Li, who was leisurely drinking coffee, almost threw away her coffee cup after taking a look at the newspaper. There were two dead people lying on the front page of the newspaper, one was a bookstore clerk and the other was Liu Juntao.

Wang Li picked up the newspaper to cover her face, afraid that others would see her. She was already in tears. A living person had died. She had only seen him from a distance in those few days.

Wang Li was feeling very uneasy now. She was afraid that others might notice something, so she took a wet wipe from the space, wiped her face and eyes, pretended to have a headache, and quickly left the coffee shop.

I also took the newspaper with me. After leaving the coffee shop, I walked into an alley. Seeing that there was no one around, I hurried into the space and sat on the ground for a long time in a daze.

Thinking about Liu Juntao, although he doesn't talk much, he is a very honest person. He will be nice to whoever is nice to him. Even Han Ya, he has been keeping her for his own sake.

Wang Li actually went to see Han Ya. After all, she was the one who brought her up. Seeing that she was doing well, she didn't let her follow her. Since she liked being outside, she let her stay outside.

The woman liked Liu Juntao, and Liu Juntao treated Han Ya well for his own sake. The woman was jealous of Han Ya, so Han Ya lived with that guy, Zhao Shuigen's Red Party member, and got pregnant. Zhao Shuigen didn't like Han Ya, so he secretly found another man and asked his superiors to transfer him to another city, and the man ran away.

The woman was dumbfounded. These people were guarding the grocery store and passing on information to other underground party members.

Wang Li thought that now that Liu Juntao was gone, she didn’t know how Han Ya was going to live.

Never mind, let's think about how to avenge Liu Juntao. I saw in the newspaper that someone escaped after being arrested that day. I guess it was the man who took the box that day. That man was agile and probably knew martial arts.

Liu Juntao was honest, he was transferred from the guerrilla team, he had no underground experience, he just sent the money he raised, and he was caught in the act.
