Double-Cut During the War of Resistance: My Wife Came from 1937

Another time and space.

Ma Hongwei has been busy with important matters these past few days, while Grandma Sun continues to help look after the village's large supply and marketing cooperative.

He said to Grandma Sun, "Third Aunt, look how busy I am every day! The supply and marketing cooperative has to trouble you every day!"

"How about this? I'll give you 1800 yuan a month, and you can keep an eye on this shop for me."

"What are you saying, child!"

Upon hearing this, Grandma Sun shook her head and said, "This is just neighbors helping each other out; how could I possibly take your money!"

"Third Aunt, the main problem is that I'm really busy right now!"

Ma Hongwei casually said, "I recently found a house I like in our county and I'm signing the contract right now. After that, I'll have to keep an eye on the renovations. I really can't manage this place, so I can only ask you, Third Aunt, to help me look after the shop."

Where is your mother?

Grandma Sun said, "Let her come back to watch the shop, and we can play cards and chat together!"

Ma Hongwei said, "He still has to look after his child at my sister's house, so I won't trouble her!"

Although having my mother come back would allow her to take care of the child without having to bother others to help with the shop.

But if she stays at home, it won't be so easy for them to travel through time in the future.

Furthermore, there is no way to explain why Xia Weiwei disappears for two days every two days.

As for renting out houses, those houses aren't owned by the owners, and nobody knows if there are any hidden cameras installed inside.

I don't know if the landlord will suddenly visit.

If they happen to time travel, or if the landlord appears when they return from time travel, then they're doomed.

Ma Hongwei quickly changed the subject, saying, "Third Aunt, please help me with this!"

Grandma Sun said, "Sure, I don't have much to do at home anyway, so I can watch the shop for you, but..."

Changing the subject, she continued, "But there's really no need to give me so much money; 500 a month is enough!"

In her opinion, she only earns a few hundred yuan a month. If she could get another 500 yuan, her life would be much better.

As for 1800, she wouldn't even dare to dream of it.

"500 yuan is too little, how could I possibly give you that little bit!"

Ma Hongwei said directly, "Either I'll give you 1800, or I'll find someone else to manage the shop!"

"There aren't many people left in the village now. They've either gone out to work or gone to the city. There aren't many people buying anything."

Grandma Sun shook her head and said, "How much do you guys earn in a year? You're paying me 1800 yuan a month, how are we supposed to make ends meet?"

"If people knew I gave you 500 yuan a month, I'd be roasted alive!"

Ma Hongwei said, "It's settled then. I'll give you 1800 a month, and you'll help me out here."

"By the way, you absolutely mustn't tell anyone about this, it has to be a secret!"

"Definitely, definitely!"

Although Grandma Sun felt a little guilty, she was still very happy to receive so much money.

After settling Grandma Sun in, Ma Hongwei went to the construction site to supervise the work.

He has now selected the warehouse location and signed the contract.

They have already recruited staff and started construction.

Once the warehouse here is built, he can start a pharmaceutical distribution company.

At that time, we can get medicine in large quantities, all kinds of medicine.

Besides being busy with this matter, Ma Hongwei also went to sign the contract and make the payment to buy the house.

He found a renovation company and started renovating the house.

During this period, Ma Hongwei began preparing for a new private auction.

Nowadays, he doesn't even have a small amount left.

If we continue to buy weapons and ammunition, we're afraid we'll run out of money.

Therefore, he still needs to sell some more antiques and collectibles.

Even before his second trip to Pakistan, he had already told Chairman Liu and the others that he would inform them of the new auction within a week.

But after that delay, a week has now passed.

In this line of work, you have to be trustworthy, and he didn't want to keep breaking his promises.

Ma Hongwei rummaged through his house and found some antiques he had brought back from the Republic of China era, including a piece of Ming Dynasty porcelain.

Speaking of which, that Ming Dynasty porcelain piece was looted by Commander Nie from the home of a local landlord who had defected to the Japanese.

"Click-clack!"

Ma Hongwei took a picture and directly used Doubao for AI image recognition.

Soon, the information was revealed, and Ma Hongwei couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

You wouldn't believe it until you searched it up; what I found was astonishing.

He never expected that this seemingly ordinary porcelain piece would actually be a blue and white plum vase with ruyi-shaped shoulder and floral and fruit patterns from the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, produced by the imperial kiln in Jingdezhen.

At a Sotheby's auction in Hong Kong in 2011, a plum vase like this sold for HK$1.6866 million, or RMB1.45 million.

It's worth noting that the plum vase in Hong Kong was missing its original lid, which significantly reduced its price.

If you use the original cap, the price will be even higher.

The piece in Ma Hongwei's hand has the original lid, so its value is naturally higher.

Ma Hongwei took a few photos and sent them to Yin Weimin.

[Ma Hongwei: "Boss Yin, could you please have Uncle Yin help with the appraisal?"]

Yin Weimin replied almost immediately after the message was sent.

[Yin Weimin: "Holy crap, Brother Ma, where did you get this? Did you steal it from a tomb?"]

[Ma Hongwei: "Where would I go to rob tombs? This is a treasured item belonging to a friend of mine, and he asked me to help him sell it."]

Ma Hongwei's room was placed in the home of a wealthy landlord. It had no soil stains or dirt, and no earthy smell, so it couldn't possibly have been a tomb raider's.

It should be noted that this soil still exists even after decades of history.

But he didn't have one.

Even if it really is from the soil, it has probably been circulating outside for hundreds of years.

[Yin Weimin: "Understood, I'll have my dad get it checked right away!"]

[Ma Hongwei: If you're really unsure, you can come to Lincheng!]

Turning off his phone, Ma Hongwei thought to himself, "I hope this item can sell for over 2 million!"

……

Tianjin.

Headquarters of the North China Area Army.

"Baka yarou!"

"Clang! Clang!"

An angry roar came from inside the house, followed by the sound of something hitting the ground.

Upon learning of Itagaki Seishiro's death, Terauchi Hisaichi couldn't help but throw and smash things around the house.

"Why did that useless Itagaki have to go to the front lines!"

Terauchi Hisaichi slammed his fist on the table and said, "Since the founding of the Great Japanese Army, his troops have repeatedly suffered heavy losses at the hands of the Eighth Route Army, and he became the first lieutenant general division commander to be killed by the Chinese. It's utterly disgraceful!"

The killing of a division commander also carries significant responsibility.
