Chapter 749 Comrades have sacrificed
Although Xu Wenjie asked Gui'er to take it slow, she was still extremely anxious because she knew that it was useless for Xu Wenjie to find out the news about that comrade from Chen Zhongyu. Only by finding out from Sha Yanyao why they arrested that comrade would they be able to rescue him.
However, Sha Yanyao never came to Jinbao, and Guier was anxious but couldn't say anything.
Fortunately, two days later, Sha Yanyao finally came to see Jinbao and her son, and Guier hurried over to say hello.
Sha Yanyao was in a good mood, holding his eldest son and making him laugh. Jinbao was smiling gently beside him. It was a warm picture of a family of three reunited.
Guier took some fruit and said to Sha Yanyao, "Brother, have some fruit. Are you busy lately?"
Sha Yanyao smiled and said, "It's okay, same as usual."
Gui'er hesitated about how to start and bring the topic to that matter.
Jin Bao interrupted, "By the way, didn't you guys do something big the other day? You took down the grocery store in front of our house, that Communist stronghold. It was so impressive, and a lot of people knew about it. But you almost arrested our cook too, haha."
Sha Yanyao chuckled and said, "Actually, we didn't gain anything big. One of our brothers accidentally discovered that the man seemed to be suspected of being a Communist, so he followed him to the grocery store and took control of the store. But later we found out that their base was not here at all. He was hiding there temporarily. It was all in vain."
"Oh, that's a shame. Is the grocery store owner going to be released soon? Now that the store is closed, I have to walk a long way to buy things. The cook has complained to me two or three times."
"Some people are wrongly arrested, and some are released. It's not easy to release those who are in our police station."
"Brother, what about the communist we caught? You only caught him, so you have no evidence, right? You can extort some money from him and then release him." Gui'er said this deliberately.
Sha Yanyao glanced at her, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that won't work. The person is already dead."
Gui'er felt as if she had been hit by a club. "Wasn't he just arrested? Why was he shot?"
"No, we found some pamphlets and materials promoting Communist ideology at his residence, as well as guns. He was a genuine revolutionary, there was no way he could deny that. We tried every possible means to get him to reveal the whereabouts and bases of his fellow comrades, even offering him money didn't work. Finally, we had to resort to torture, but he was already ill, and he had an epilepsy after just a few blows. He was dead after just two convulsions, and it was too late to save him."
"Oh my god, this is so unlucky, don't say it anymore." The baby covered his mouth and said in fear, "Be careful not to scare the baby in your belly."
Sha Yanyao smiled and touched Jinbao's bulging belly: "My children can't be so timid."
Gui'er tried hard to maintain a stiff smile on her face. She mechanically picked up an apple and said to them, "Come and have some apples. I think this apple is sweeter than the last one."
"Oh, by the way, dear, didn't you say that the shop owner is irrelevant? Then is it possible that he will be released? I have an idea. I actually know a relative of his family, the shop owner's wife's brother. Do you think I can tell him that I have a way to rescue him and ask him to give us a gift, saying it's a bribe to bribe people. His brother works in a foreign company and is rich."
Sha Yanyao looked at Jin Bao helplessly and said, "You can think of this, can't others? Our people in the Military Commission, after verifying that the store owner has no connections, have already sent a message to his family asking them to prepare the money to redeem him. The money will be divided among everyone, so there's no way one person can keep it all."
Jinbao said regretfully, "Oh, really! If only that money could belong to our family. You arrest people from time to time, and you must pay them before releasing them. Wow, it won't be long before our family becomes rich."
Gui'er was eating an apple silently. When she heard Jinbao say this, her heart was already in turmoil and she even felt like vomiting, but she tried her best to hold it back. She couldn't show any flaws at this time.
Finally, Sha Yanyao left.
The third wife from upstairs ran down again and asked Jinbao to play mahjong. Jinbao wanted to take Guier with him.
Guier quickly smiled and said, "I don't know how to play mahjong. It would be so boring to watch you guys play without understanding what you're doing. I won't go. I'll just do my homework here."
Jinbao had just gone out for a while when someone knocked on the door. The maid went to open the door and found it was Mr. Zhang from upstairs.
Gui'er was very surprised, but she was in a bad mood at the time and didn't want to entertain him, so she said, "Mr. Zhang, my sister-in-law has gone upstairs to play mahjong. You are looking for her, right? She should be at your house."
Mr. Zhang walked over with a familiar air and sat on the sofa next to Gui'er, crossing his legs. He smiled and said, "I know. I just came down from upstairs. A bunch of women play mahjong every day. The crackling noise is giving me a headache, so I came down here to get some free time. Miss Gui'er is so virtuous and doesn't like these things. She usually reads a book and listens to records. She's fashionable and quiet. How nice."
Gui'er didn't want to pay attention to him, but since everyone who came was a guest, and Jinbao was still a guest upstairs, she felt embarrassed to chase him away. She wanted to go into the room, but it was not convenient to leave him there alone, so she had to sit there stiffly, smiling and saying nothing, hoping that he would understand.
As a result, Mr. Zhang was not only tactless, but also started bragging to himself, saying that he was planning to buy another restaurant recently and was going to renovate it according to the most luxurious restaurant in Nanjing. When it opened, it would become the new largest restaurant in Nanjing.
Gui'er didn't know whether what he said was true or not, she was not interested anyway, and she could feel that Mr. Zhang was actually interested in other things. So she asked Dingxiang to come and pour tea for Mr. Zhang, and then kept asking her to cut fruit, anyway to avoid being alone with Mr. Zhang.
After sitting for a while, Mr. Zhang still had no intention of leaving. The topic even changed from his restaurant to his farm in his hometown in Northeast China. He counted on his fingers and told Guier how much income he made every year.
Gui'er was really at her wit's end, so she picked up the teacup. Because she had read novels and watched TV before, she knew there was a rule of serving tea to see off guests. However, Mr. Zhang didn't react at all.
She pretended to be bored and picked up a newspaper to read, thinking: "This guy should finally understand now, right?"
"Hey, Miss Guier, your hands are so beautiful." He suddenly said, and then reached out to grab Guier's hand.
