Wang Li took a few days off and went out for a stroll every day, hoping to find a storefront to open a grocery store for her family, otherwise it would be a waste to run a crowded snack bar.
Suddenly I heard someone say, "Have you heard, the fighting has been very intense these days.
"Everyone knows that you are such a great man. In this era, if you are not well-informed, you are not far from death."
"Yes, there have been constant gunshots on the streets these past few days. There are devils, patrolmen, and spies everywhere. I don't know what they are looking for. It's terrible."
Wang Li was just about to go out to get something to eat and bring some back for her family.
It seems that both officials and ordinary people are paying close attention to the situation. It is said that the Japanese devils and spies, when they see someone on the street, will drag him to the labor camp without any regard for him, regardless of who you are or whether you have any connections.
Someone asked: "Is there no one in charge?"
"How can I live like this? If I don't go out, how can I earn money to support my family? Why is there no one speaking up to say anything or to intervene?"
"Oh, I'm so worried. I haven't been out to earn money for three days. I'm starving to death. How can I survive?"
Some people started crying.
A rickshaw driver in shorts said, "It's really hard to live like this. I haven't earned a penny in the past few days!"
A woman said: "It's just that we poor people can't make a living. They are rich and live in the French Concession. What's there to be afraid of? They can still eat and drink as usual, and they don't care about the chaos outside."
An old lady also said: "Let's be rich ladies in our next life."
And wiped away tears...
When they heard her say that she was going to marry a rich lady, everyone looked at her and said, "Oh my god, you are not dreaming, are you?"
Wang Li also wanted to wish that these days would pass quickly, but she knew from the time she traveled back in time that the Japanese were gone, and there were still a few years of hard times waiting for her. She didn't know whether the present was a parallel world or the past era. She didn't know anymore. Some things were the same, and some were different.
Just when Wang Li was thinking about the situation, she heard someone ask, "Will rich people never die? Rich people must be able to eat their fill every day, right? Who knows where the clothes that rich people don't wear are thrown away, and will the food that rich people don't eat be thrown on the street?"
People were dumbfounded when they heard this.
Wang Li went back after listening for a while, thinking about the space, why not rent a storefront and let Lu Tianhao and others use it as a backup contact point to sell things, and by the way, sell their own things as well, so that they will have more protection.
There are many spies on Tiantian Street. Go there at night. It took a whole day to clean up the space.
There was no one at home, so I ate something quickly and then went to the bookstore. It was already dark outside.
As soon as I jumped into the backyard, the shopkeeper came out.
"Who and where?"
Wang Li ran up to him and said, "Look who I am?" Then he laughed. The man shook his head and led Wang Li inside.
Lu Tianhao asked: "What's wrong, sister? What happened?"
Wang Liyu: "No, this is a friend I know. I think your contact point might be inconvenient, so I'm going to open a store for you. I'll provide the store and the room, and you'll provide the staff to manage it. We'll split the business 30-70, you 70 and I 30-30. Think about it. I'll come over next night, and you guys shouldn't go out recently. The spies outside are searching everywhere every day."
"Um, I forgot to ask if all the comrades have sent off their children?"
