3. Third Story.
Although there are still many injustices to women in this society, it has to be said that there are already many people who will no longer view women in the same way, such as the editor in front of me.
Although he was surprised by Guo Lianyun’s female identity at first, he did not discriminate in the slightest. After learning about Guo Lianyun’s slightly embarrassed living situation, he also offered to provide a place for their newspaper.
Guo Lianjun agreed. This is the place where she and Jiang Gaojie lived together before. If she could, she didn’t want to stay at all.
The newspaper that Guo Lianyun contributed to was jointly run by some wealthy new school people. In order to attract more like-minded people, they paid the author a lot of manuscript fees, and they were happy to help those new school people who were in a difficult situation. Guo Lianyun became a member of the assisted, at the same time, her articles began to appear in the newspapers.
The manuscript fee for the three articles was enough to support Guo Lianyun alone for a long time, so she did not look for a job, but continued to write. This time, she wrote not a short story, but a long story, describing a teenager in the occupied area.
This young man’s family is a local landlord and owns a large piece of land, but because the invaders found minerals near his home, his parents were killed and the land was taken away by the invaders.
Being served all the time, the boy who doesn’t even know how the steamed bread is made is forced to start wandering and struggling to survive. He eats weeds, lives in the wild, and lives a life he has never touched before. Along the way, he also encounters many miserable people, a tragic thing, he also slowly learned to cook by himself, and learned to recognize which plants are edible.
The story was very tragic at the beginning, drawing enough hatred, and in the middle of his wandering life there were joys and pains, but in the end… After discussing with Guo Lianyun, Mu Ling decided to write about him going to assassinate someone, but the assassination succeeded but he was arrested. His sister, who was taken away by the invaders because of her beauty and save him.
He ran away, but his sister committed suicide.
This article is not written as fast as the previous ones, because it strives to be truthful.
Even Mu Ling racked her brains to write some methods of surviving in the wild, most of which were told by the veterans who had gone to the battlefield when she lived in the Wei family, and she wrote it down to let many people can see that when they are in a desperate situation, there is one more way to survive.
Through the information in the newspapers and magazines, and through the various war experiences that Mu Ling heard from the veterans, this story was written in a real and moving way. After the serialization began, many people even thought that this was the author’s real experience.
All of this put a lot of pressure on Guo Lianyun. In order not to write errands later, she specially visited some people who fled to Shanghai from the occupied areas, because she chose those low-level people who were servants and grooms, but she really got a lot of information.
The serialization in the newspaper is relatively slow. When the serialization in the newspaper shows that the protagonist cannot cook, he finally catches the fish and then grills it and eats it. In the end, it is fishy and bitter but has to be eaten, the editor comes again, He also brought many letters from readers to Guo Lianyun.
Guo Lianjun only wants to make more money, to become famous quickly, and then try to find Jiang Gaojie so that he can expose Jiang Gaojie’s true face. Although she has read the letters from readers one by one, she does not intend to reply, but Mu Ling does not think so: “You have to reply to the letter.”
“Why?” Guo Lianyun was a little puzzled, it took a lot of time to reply a letter, and she estimated that it would take her five or six hours to reply with so many letters together.
“These letters are all picked out by me. Looking at the envelopes, letterheads and handwriting, I can confirm that these people have a good family background, and they really appreciate or really like you. If you write back to them, you will get to know a lot after you come and go. people.” Mu Ling said, he has already discovered that the current new school people have circles, and there are many people who have entered the circle and know more people, so if you encounter difficulties and get into trouble, there will definitely be someone to help.
Such an idea is utilitarian, but Guo Lianyun still needs a little utilitarianism in order to know more people. Otherwise… when Jiang Gaojie throws dirty water on her, no one will help her!
After hearing Mu Ling’s explanation, Guo Lianyun sincerely replied to many letters, and even told several of them her real gender and situation.
These people wrote to her again, and they went back and forth. As Mu Ling said, she knew a lot of people, and even had a few friends, and among them, she was the best, and Guo Lianyun spent a lot of effort to maintain the two of them. The relationship is a girl named Sun Rushuang.
At first, the girl thought that the article Guo Lianyun was serializing was Guo Lianyun’s real experience, she expressed her admiration for Guo Lianyun and said that she could help Guo Lianyun. Guo Lianyun politely declined her funding and told her that she was actually a woman, she even admired Guo Lianyun even more…
Of course, Guo Lianyunvalue her mainly because of her status. Her father is one of the richest people in the city now. Not to mention a steel mill and a flour mill, there are also many ships, among which Even giant ships that can go out to sea.
Now people here who want to go abroad will basically choose the ship of Sun Dachuan.
Sun Dachuan has four sons, but only one daughter, Sun Rushuang. Naturally, he loves her daughter in every possible way, and Guo Lianjun also treats Sun Rushuang differently.
The previous self would definitely not make friends with such a mentality… Guo Lianyun sighed, and then wrote a letter to Sun Rushuang, expressing that he welcomes Sun Rushuang to come to see her – Sun Rushuang wrote to her that she want to see her.
When Sun Rushuang came, Guo Lianyun was cooking. She had a lot of money now, enough to hire someone to take care of herself. After all, labor was cheap, but she didn’t do it. Although she didn’t think about what to do in the future, she subconsciously wanted to use the money to make money.
Her ideals, her revenge, all need sufficient funds to support.
“You cook yourself?” Sun Rushuang looked at Guo Lianyun with sympathy, and behind her, the driver and four bodyguards who drove her closely followed.
“I’m used to it.” Guo Lianyun smiled, Sun Rushuang’s behavior actually made her a little uncomfortable, but thinking about her own thoughts about contacting Guo Lianyun, she didn’t care.
“I should have thought about it long ago. You have written so many things in your article, and I must have had a similar experience.” The expression on Sun Rushuang’s face had turned distressed at this moment.
This girl seems a little innocent? Once upon a time, she was like this… Guo Lianyun was a little dazed, but she was very sincere to Sun Rushuang after that, and then started to say something along with Sun Rushuang, and even promised Sun Rushuang to assign Sun Rushuang a positive role in her essay.
“The one I want to sacrifice heroically.” Sun Rushuang’s eyes lit up.
“I’m afraid that won’t work. I plan to arrange for you to be a very powerful female spy who won’t die casually.” Guo Lianyun coaxed her little sister, even though Sun Rushuang was actually eighteen years old like her.
Sun Dachuan is so fond of his daughter, if his daughter dies in his own writing… I am afraid that she will not end well.
Guo Lianjun and Sun Rushuang were very happy with each other.
Although Guo Lianyun’s life is relatively embarrassing now, she was once a young lady from a large family in Peiping. She has extraordinary knowledge and naturally has something to talk about with Sun Rushuang. She revealed some of her own experiences more or less, and Sun Rushuang was very sympathetic to her. .
After another half month, Guo Lianyun’s 300,000-word novel was finally finished, and at this time, Sun Rushuang invited her to go out to play.
“One of my father’s ships came back from America, along with a very large, very large ship. It is said that there is everything on that ship. You will not get tired of living on it for a few months. Do you want to come with me? Go and see?” Sun Rushuang asked.
Guo Lianyun agreed. She hadn’t gone out for a long time, and the ship came from abroad… When she was in Peiping, she really wanted to go abroad to see, to learn advanced technology abroad and return to serve the motherland. I gave up when I was especially rich, and I never mentioned it to my parents.
Of course, this should also be the reason why she subconsciously knew that her parents would definitely not agree – her parents didn’t like her studying.
Guo Lianjun agreed, then got into Sun Rushuang’s car, and the two went straight to the port.
The port is full of people coming and going, there are gentlemen and ladies in expensive suits or beautiful dresses, but more often they are workers who are topless and tanned because of the heat and carry goods back and forth.
Seeing these people, Guo Lianyun suddenly felt a lot easier. Although she encountered a lot of hardships, she was much better than these people…
“Look Yunlian, that’s what I said about the big boat!” Sun Rushuang said suddenly , she always likes to call Guo Lianyun’s pen name.
Guo Lianjun followed Sun Rushuang’s instructions and saw a very, very large ship. The other ships in the port were one size smaller than this ship. Those small boats that were used by the port workers to transport goods stayed in it. Next to it, it became the dust at the giant’s feet.
When will they have such a ship? Guo Lianjun and Mu Ling had such doubts almost at the same time, however, something happened suddenly before they could finish their emotion.
There were a lot of people on the huge ship looking out on the railings, and they didn’t know what was going on. Suddenly, someone threw a few cans to a nearby boat.
Those cans were written in foreign languages, and no one knew what was in them, but for ordinary workers, empty tin cans could be taken back and stored at home, not to mention the cans that obviously contain food!
The workers on the ship immediately scrambled.
It was this scramble that made the people on the boat amused, and those people threw down some cans and cigarettes, and then laughed as they watched the scramble below.
“Why are those people like this!” Sun Rushuang said dissatisfiedly, but as soon as she finished speaking, something even more unacceptable happened.
Someone on the huge ship shouted something like “kneel down and give something” in Chinese, and then most of the workers on the small boat really knelt down.
More cans fell, and some fell on the workers, who still happily held the cans in their arms.
There is a stark contrast between the people laughing on the giant ship and the people kneeling on the giant ship.
