Chapter 1125: Really was Damp and Cold

Ning Shu also started working on moving because there would soon be a large influx of refugees and those refugees would do anything for a bite to eat.

A woman like her would easily become the target of the refugees.

In the original storyline, Zhu Suniang had taken her child to Shanghai with apprehensions and excitement to find Zhu Yanqiu. She had gone to the dazzling Shanghai that celebrated peace with songs and dance.

When she got there, she was lost and very much did not fit in. When she discovered that Zhu Yanqiu had a girl that he liked, she became even more uneasy and fearful.

Zhu Yanqiu was very unhappy that Zhu Suniang had come, he even felt disdain for her. When he introduced her to other people, he said that she was his sister.

Zhu Suniang was five years older than Zhu Yanqiu from the start, and with all the work that she had done over the years, she looked rather old. It was like she was an entire generation older than Zhu Yanqiu who was handsome and filled with an intellectual aura.

Zhu Suniang was a bit hurt. She was originally Zhu Yanqiu’s wife, but he said she was his sister. Zhu Yanqiu’s reasoning was that he didn’t want his classmates to know that he was already married, and it was even through such a feudal method like a child bride. He said that his classmates would laugh at him.

Zhu Suniang wasn’t someone that was very opinionated, so when other people asked, she just said that she was Zhu Yanqiu’s older sister.

Later, Zhu Suniang really couldn’t get use to life in Shanghai and her husband who was dressed in a white shirt and wearing a peaked hat seemed unfamiliar and distant, so she took her child and returned to the village to continue living that hard life.

Zhu Yanqiu didn’t even try to dissuade Zhu Suniang.

Perhaps in Zhu Yanqiu’s heart, Zhu Suniang and Zhu Siyuan were forever disgraceful existences. He even regretted having consummated marriage with Zhu Suniang.

Ning Shu still planned to go to Shanghai to avoid this influx of refugees. However, who knows what would happen this time when she arrived? Ohoho!

There were already a lot of refugees in the village. A refugee actually climbed over the wall and ran into Ning Shu’s house to loot her. He first ran into the kitchen, grabbed the leftover food, then started stuffing himself. Then he threatened Ning Shu. “Hand over all the food you have.”

Ning Shu: →_→

She beat up the person trying to rob her, then kicked him out of the courtyard and slammed the door.

Ning Shu bought a ship ticket to Shanghai. As of now, a single ticket actually cost ten silver dollars. She gritted her teeth and bought it, then carried her things along with Zhu Siyuan to step onto the steamship.

There are a lot of people on the ship, it was very crowded. Ning Shu carried the child over to the corner to sit down. As she looked over, everyone’s faces were filled with unease and panic.

When the nation was in turmoil, the common people would be forced from their homes to wander. This conflict could be said to be the most severe foreign aggression in history. The protracted destruction caused this land to be filled with scars.

Zhu Siyuan was a little scared, so Ning Shu patted his back to comfort him.

When she got hungry, she would secretly eat a bit of bread and stuff a fasting pill into the child’s mouth.

The smell on the ship was unbearable. The stink mixed with the smell of cigarettes and was revolting.

The ship continued to move slowly with frequent stops. Even more people squeezed on, causing the environment to become even worse. Finally, one week later, they reached Guangdong Harbor.

Ning Shu carried the child off the steamship, then sighed in relief. They were finally here.

As she stood on the dock, she felt that the sea breeze from the Huangpu River really was damp and cold. How wonderful. Wonder if Zhu Yanqiu froze to death yet?

Ning Shu didn’t plan to go look for Zhu Yanqiu. She had no desire to go cook and clean for him. Zhu Yanqiu even told people that this was his older sister.

Who the frick was your sister!?

Ning Shu found a small hotel and cleaned up a little bit. The hold of the ship had seriously been too disgusting. This entire time, Zhu Siyuan had been whimpering so Ning Shu touched his forehead. He had a slight fever.

Ning Shu fed him an antipyretic pill that she had exchanged for beforehand. After taking the medicine, Zhu Siyuan fell asleep. Sweat covered his entire body.

Ning Shu got some water and endured the cold to wash herself. Afterwards, she got more water to help wipe Zhu Siyuan’s sweat.

Right now, she only wanted to settle down. She planned to rent an apartment, then find work. Zhu Siyuan had already gotten to the age of starting school.

Ning Shu wanted to make sure Zhu Siyuan got a good education. She wanted to nurture his aspirations. Zhu Yanqiu did have culture, but the things he did was lower than low. Yet at the very end, he actually managed to obtain fame and recognition. She couldn’t accept it!
