Chapter 0047 Chinese Women's Anti-enemy Support Association!
"That German guy has bad intentions, you have to stay away from him."
After leaving the Crimson Bar, Wei Zhengcai worriedly asked Yang Huimin.
Yang Huimin said mischievously: "I want to stay away from him, what about the cannonballs?"
"Huh, let's wait until we get the cannonballs. Twenty-four cannonballs, and he asked for ten gold bars from us. Grandma's is more evil than a bandit."
The more Wei Zhengcai thought about it, the angrier he became. If it weren't for the difficulty here, he would have sent Deps to see God long ago.
"He's just taking advantage of the situation. Humph! I'm not stupid, how could I not know?"
Yang Huimin acted like she was very smart. But Wei Zhengcai was even more worried and said again: "I'm afraid that you are young and will be deceived by foreigners. Foreigners are tall, fair, rich and powerful, and there are many like you.
Girls like this are all taken advantage of by foreigners."
"I'm not that kind of person, huh!"
Yang Huimin spoke every word and snorted mischievously.
Wei Zhengcai had nothing to do with Yang Huimin, but said: "This matter has been solved, but there is still no clue about the other matter. Brother Duanwu ordered me with a commanding tone, asking me to print newspapers and pay pensions to the fallen soldiers.
.Where do I have the money? I gave you my only ring."
Wei Zhengcai was talking about Yang Huimin, whose beautiful emerald ring was confiscated by Yang Huimin.
Yang Huimin denied: "Captain Wei, don't say that. Your emerald was donated to the Anti-Japanese War, but you didn't give it to me?"
"Haha, a sharp-tongued girl."
Wei Zhengcai chuckled. There was nothing he could do about Yang Huimin. He just followed Yang Huimin and walked, but as he walked, he felt something was wrong. This was not the way to the hotel.
Wei Zhengcai asked: "Where are we going?"
"Go find a big shot. Otherwise, how can I, a small boy scout, get you so much money?"
Yang Huimin asked back, but Wei Zhengcai was overjoyed, because the pension money was obviously settled.
I followed Yang Huimin until I came to Fuxing Road. Outside the gate of a courtyard, there was a sign for the Chinese Women's Anti-Enemy Support Association.
Wei Zhengcai was surprised. He didn't expect there to be such a place in Shanghai, and it was very close to the Suzhou River, only about three kilometers away.
"Let's go, President He inside is a heroine who resisted Japan!"
Yang Huimin urged, Wei Zhengcai responded quickly and quickly followed in.
I saw a dozen people packing goods in the courtyard.
The goods are all packed in wooden boxes. I don’t know what they are, but they look very heavy and require two people to lift them.
One of them saw Yang Huimin and said hello: "Hui Hui, why are you dressed so beautifully today? Where is your Boy Scout uniform?"
"I'm doing something big today, Sister Xu. I'll talk to you later!"
Yang Huimin said hello and continued walking into the courtyard with Wei Zhengcai, passed through the central hall, and went directly to the study room in the side courtyard. Obviously Yang Huimin came here often, otherwise he wouldn't be so familiar with her.
Before entering the study room, I saw a middle-aged woman wearing a cheongsam standing in front of the drawing board, holding a paintbrush and drawing a green bitter bamboo.
"Aunt He!"
Yang Huimin shouted sweetly.
He Xiangning looked back and said happily: "Huihui, you haven't been to my place for a few days."
"Aunt He, there is a war on the north bank, and I am busy now! By the way, let me introduce to you, this is Captain Wei of the 88th Division Military Police."
Yang Huimin introduced him to He Xiangning. He Xiangning nodded and asked Wei Zhengcai to sit down. Wei Zhengcai's men were all waiting outside the room.
At this time, Wei Zhengcai Jianghu said: "President He, I have heard of his name for a long time and admired him for a long time."
He Xiangning said with a smile: "Captain Wei, thank you very much. If you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly."
Wei Zhengcai looked at Yang Huimin. Because Yang Huimin and He Xiangning knew each other, and with such a large sum of money, he was afraid of scaring the other party.
Although He Xiangning seems to be born into a wealthy family, this pension is not a small sum of money.
There were more than 300 people on the list of those killed in the Dragon Boat Festival. Even if each person was given 10 yen as settlement allowance, it would still cost more than 3,000 yen.
According to the exchange rate at that time, the price of a small yellow croaker was about 200 ocean dollars. This 3,000 ocean dollars would cost 15 to 16 gold bars.
So just to be on the safe side, Wei Zhengcai looked at Yang Huimin as if asking for help.
Naturally, Yang Huimin did her part and told He Xiangning the heroic deeds of the Independent Regiment's bloody battle against the Japanese army at Sihang Warehouse.
He Xiangning listened with great interest, but in fact she already knew these things. Because she had been to the bank of the Suzhou River. Otherwise, how could she have the classic line: All Chinese people are like this, how dare the Japanese pirates?
So when Yang Huimin finished telling the story, He Xiangning said directly: "If you need my help with anything, just say it!"
"Aunt He, you are the best."
Yang Huimin acts like a baby.
Wei Zhengcai was very envious at this time and regretted that he was not born as a girl, otherwise when encountering problems, he could just act coquettishly and solve them.
Wei Zhengcai struck while the iron was hot and quickly took out the list of those killed in action and said: "President He, I'm sorry to trouble you. Duanwu, the commander of the 88th Division Independent Regiment, wants to print the list of these fallen soldiers into a newspaper so that the world will remember them.
But the most important thing is the pension. I am a soldier and there is really nothing I can do. I ask President He, for the sake of those anti-Japanese comrades who fought bravely to kill the enemy, please help me no matter what!"
He Xiangning stood up and said: "It is my duty. However, I want to have a phone call with the Dragon Boat Festival chief. Is it convenient for Captain Wei?"
“Convenient, convenient.”
Wei Zhengcai responded repeatedly, and then dialed the number of Sihang Warehouse in He Xiangning's study.
"I am Dragon Boat Festival!"
The sound of Dragon Boat Festival came from the other side of the phone.
"Brother Duanwu, wait a moment, President He is calling you."
Wei Zhengcai gave a reminder, meaning that he should pay attention to the way he spoke during the Dragon Boat Festival.
The phone was handed to He Xiangning, who said: "Sir Dragon Boat Festival, I am He Xiangning, the president of the Chinese Women's Anti-Enemy Support Association. I am here to assure you that all brothers who died in the war will receive a pension."
"Then please. I cannot thank you enough for your kindness. If I can still go back alive, I will definitely knock on the door and say thank you."
"Okay, I'm always waiting for you."
Although two people only spoke two sentences, they were worth a thousand words.
"Someone is coming!"
He Xiangning called out someone, and a servant came in.
"Send this list to Mrs. Wang. I want to see it in the newspaper tomorrow. Also make an appointment with Mrs. Li, Mrs. Zhang, and Mrs. Sun to play cards at my place."
"yes!"
The servant responded, and then retreated. At this time, He Xiangning said to Wei Zhengcai and Yang Huimin: "Leave this matter to me. I will see the report tomorrow and distribute the pension according to the list of those killed in battle. There will be no less than an ocean!"
