1932: Playing with the Japanese Communist Party with a doll

The two exchanged a few glances, which roughly meant:

"Don't you have a chance to think of another way to tell me?"

"There was really no chance. The old lady was watching closely. She knew I was coming and followed me immediately."

"Can't I write a letter?" "I wrote it!" "Where's the letter?"

"It's been sent to the address you gave me! It's right here!"

"Oh, I was out during this time..."

The old lady, unaware that her son was communicating with someone via radio, continued banging on the floor, "Answer me! Why are you hiding this from me?"

A hint of annoyance flashed across Lu Xun's eyes.

It has been like this since he was a child. As the eldest son, his mother had too high expectations of him and her desire to control him was too strong.

This was the case with the arranged marriage, and also with the various interferences in his life after he became an adult.

Although this did not affect Lu Xun's respect and love for his mother, but in the end... =(o`*))) Alas...

Lu Xun sighed:

"Mother, I'm really not a traitor, and I've never done anything that would harm the interests of China or the Chinese people. Just ask Youyu and you'll know."

"Yes, old lady, I have studied what Yushan is doing..." "I know!"

The old lady interrupted Ma Yuzao impatiently:

"I know what you did, and I also know that the King of Northeast China is a good emperor!"

She not only knew it, she had experienced it herself.

A few days ago, there was chaos in Peking all night long. The rebel soldiers also attacked the area near where she lived, and even scared her so much that she fell ill.

Fortunately, a Northeast Army officer named Lu happened to be leading his troops passing by. After a fight, he drove away the rebels and inspected their area. He left only after confirming that there was no danger.

Lu Rui thought this was the "King's Army" and that this was the limit of the army's good deeds, until the "Northeast Army" entered Peking like a divine force...

Although Mrs. Lu was not well-educated, she understood reason, and based on this, she firmly believed that the leader of an army composed entirely of Chinese people, who was disciplined and kind to others, could not be a bad person!

so...

After hearing this, Fujiwara Kanezane burst out laughing:

"Xun'er, I think the old lady is so angry not because she thinks you're a traitor, but because she thinks you're hiding it from her and not telling her. She thinks you might have something to hide."

Everyone looked at Mrs. Lu, who turned her face away slightly and snorted, "Since you have a clear conscience, why are you still hiding it?"

"

Only then did Lu Xun suddenly realize.

Growing up, his mother had always taught him to "stand up straight and do things honestly," so it's no wonder he was angry about hiding something as important as this!

Since you think you are doing the right thing and not betraying the country, why do you hide it?

He actually doesn't understand his mother as well as someone who has never seen her... Lu Xun smiled bitterly in his heart and said seriously:

"Mother, I'm just worried about your health. I didn't tell you because I felt guilty."

"Hmph, I'm in good health, maybe I can live to be a hundred or eighty years old..." "Didn't I just give birth a while ago..."

"What did you say!"

“Nothing… nothing…”

puff.

Fujiwara Kanezane couldn't help laughing again.

Although I haven't read the book "At Mother's Knees", Lu Xun's affectionate and submissive look is quite interesting.

At this time, Mrs. Lu finally turned her gaze to the sharp-looking young man who was following her son, and her tone and expression softened a lot:

"Young man, who are you?"

"I..."

Fujiwara Kanezane was about to answer when a rather sharp female voice suddenly came from behind him:

"Make way! Make way! Don't block the door!"

A few people turned around and saw a middle-aged, round-faced woman with heavy makeup, jewels, and an expensive kimono stepping in. She directed the men and women behind her, who were carrying large and small bags, to work in her unfamiliar northern Chinese:

"Put this here...put that there...Hey! Be careful! That's fragile! You! Wipe the dust off the bag right now! It's a new model from Queen's!"

The domineering look on her face revealed that she was a rich lady with a strong character, who was used to having the final say at home and spending lavishly outside.

Fujiwara no Kanezane noticed that those "servants" were wearing various uniforms, and many of them had the logos of the Queen's Company or Shenyang Royal Department Store printed on their clothes.

Door-to-door delivery service...

Wanrong and the others did a really great job.

After putting away the things she had brought and sending away the "servants", the middle-aged woman seemed to notice the other people in the room and greeted Lu Xun:

"Brother, are you back?"

Lu Xun's face was slightly unhappy, and he only said "hmm" as a reply. The woman didn't seem to care and casually greeted Mrs. Lu.

It was obvious that Old Lady Lu didn't like this woman either. She said a few words casually to save her face, then apologized to everyone and went back to her room to rest.

At this time, the middle-aged fat woman frowned and said to Lu Xun:

"Brother, there are some things I want to discuss with you privately. Can we let the guests go and rest first?"

"No need, just say whatever you want to say right here!"

Lu Xun's stern face made the others present more convinced that he had a very bad relationship with this woman, and perhaps they had even had a fierce conflict in the past.

Ma Yuzhao was very perceptive. He immediately said that he had something to do and had to go out for a while. He slipped away in the blink of an eye, but the other guy stood there like a fool, not moving.

The fat woman glanced at Fujiwara Kanezane, guessing that the other party was probably another student of Lu Xun or something like that, and didn't care, and directly asked:

"Brother, you're already the Director of Education in Manchukuo. He's your brother after all. Why wouldn't you help him find a job here?"

He refers to Zhou Zuoren, Zhou Shuren's second brother, and the fat woman is Zhou Zuoren's wife, the Japanese Nobuko Hata, who played a huge role in Zhou Zuoren's surrender to the enemy and becoming a traitor.

The reason why Hata Nobuko had such an attitude was that Zhou Zuoren and his wife had written a letter before saying that they were coming to Shenyang, but Zhou Zuoren neither asked anyone to entertain them nor helped to greet people, resulting in Zhou Zuoren being turned away several times when he wanted to visit the powerful.

"I don't have a precedent of using backdoors here. Even if it's my own brother, I won't violate the principle."

"Then why did I hear that you wrote a letter to your third brother, asking him to take up a post in Manchuria?"

Hata Nobuko said bluntly:

"Brother, you can't be so partial to one person as to another."

Ah Song (Zhou Jianren's nickname), you idiot!

You clearly live in Shanghai, how did you manage to get the news to reach Peking?

Could it be that this woman saw the letter I wrote to my mother?

After scolding his third brother in his heart, Lu Xun still had a stern face:

"When my brothers and I went to Japan to study, it was my third brother who gave up his studies to take care of our mother. I feel indebted to him. Besides, my second brother has a successful career. Why would he abandon everything in Peking and come to the Northeast to start over?"

Obviously, this is an excuse within an excuse. Lu Xun clearly does not want to help his second brother Zhou Zuoren.

Fujiwara no Kanezane was watching the show with great interest, and the only thing missing was a small stool with melon seeds and peanuts.

Before coming, the agent had secretly told him about the Zhou family, so he knew very well why Lu Xun had such an attitude.

Because of this woman, Xun Ge'er and his confused second brother had already fallen out.

Marrying a Japanese woman was not a problem in itself. At that time, it was not only a "trend", but could even be said to be Zhou Zuoren's "honor":

Look, I actually married a woman from a powerful country that China needs to learn from!

So Zhou Jianren’s first wife was also Japanese, and she was Hata Nobuko’s younger sister, Hata Yoshiko.

The problem is that, putting aside the issue of nationality, there are still many aspects of Hata Nobuko that Lu Xun dislikes.

The first is extravagance.

Although she came from an ordinary family and was a full-time housewife, Hata Nobuko controlled all of Zhou Zuoren's salary and savings. She spent money lavishly, buying all the expensive things without any regrets.

She also brought her sister Hata Yoshiko, brother Hata Shigehisa, and a bunch of other Japanese relatives to the Zhou family to eat and drink for free. All food, clothing, and other expenses had to be in accordance with Japanese standards, resulting in an outrageous amount of expenses.

Because of this woman, Zhou Zuoren, who had a good income at the time, was forced to borrow money from everywhere to make ends meet. In the words of Lu Xun, "When I was writing articles at night, I didn't even have money to buy cigarettes and snacks."

If that were the case, it would ultimately be Zhou Zuoren's personal family affair, and even if Lu Xun's advice proved futile, that was all that could be done.

The problem was that several families lived together at the time, and because their own money was insufficient, Nobuko Hata also reached into the pockets of her eldest and third brothers...

This is really the uncle can tolerate it but the aunt can't. Secondly, he has a strong personality.

Zhou Zuoren was clearly a tortoise, able to hand over all his wages and not put up any resistance even when pushed to that point... He was not a strong-willed person, and the fiery-tempered Hata Nobuko became the dominant force in the family;

Since ancient times, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has always been difficult. It is even more difficult when two women with very strong personalities are together and see each other every day.

Xinzi Hata often forcefully interfered in the family affairs that originally belonged to Mrs. Lu, resulting in a very bad relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and also made the brothers Zhou Shuren and Zhou Jianren hate her even more.

The third is contempt for China.

Hata Nobuko came from an extremely ordinary family. From the perspective of economic strength and family background, marrying Zhou Zuoren could be considered "marrying above her station".

However, due to her country, she always had an undisguised contempt for China and the Chinese people. Not only did she still insist on living a Japanese lifestyle, she also looked down on the lifestyles of the rest of the Zhou family.

Finally, what Lu Xun found most intolerable and insulting was that this woman actually slandered Zhou Zuoren, saying, "Big Brother was very rude to me."

Needless to say, how malicious the translation is?

In short, if it weren't for this woman poking around, and if Zhou Zuoren himself was easily influenced and had no opinion of his own, it would have been almost impossible for the two brothers Zhou Shuren and Zhou Jianren to part ways with Zhou Zuoren, and Zhou Zuoren might not have become a traitor later.

Hey, every family has its own problems...

Hata Xinzi naturally heard Lu Xun's perfunctory tone and said dissatisfiedly: "Brother, there is an old saying in China, that...that..."

She wanted to say "Brothers united are stronger than iron", but she couldn't think of it at the moment, and a strange voice interrupted her:

"Those who inhale the joyful mist are heroes?" "Puff!"

Lu Xun almost drowned himself in a mouthful of spit, but Hata Xinzi turned her head away in confusion:

"Hmm? What are you talking about?"

"Ah it's alright I was just talking to myself, you continue."

Where did this weird guy come from?

Is he another country bumpkin from the Chinese countryside? He looks quite handsome.

Hata Nobuko didn't think Fujiwara no Kanezane was Japanese (after all, he was too tall and spoke Chinese too fluently), and continued to "fire" at Lu Xun:

"Brother, you two are brothers. If you work in the same department and work hard together, you will definitely gain greater power and continue to rise..."

struggle?

High promotion?

Lu Xun looked at this snobbish and brainless woman with disgust, then glanced at the various goods filling his house and said sarcastically:

"When you say struggle, do you mean we struggle so you can spend your money as you please? And when you say continuous growth, do you mean your spending at the Queen's Company keeps rising?"

"you!!"

Hata Nobuko was quite irritated by Lu Xun's sharp tongue, but when she thought of the increasingly weakened Nationalist government and Peking, the increasingly powerful Northeast, and her husband's future, she forced herself to endure it:

"Brother, listen to me. I am a Japanese after all. If I can contact the Japanese nobles in Manchuria..."

"Huh? That's strange to me."

That strange voice sounded again:

"You're Japanese, but Mr. Lu Xun was the Director General of Education at the Ministry of Education! Your status is lower than his, isn't it? He might not even know many important Japanese people. How can you be sure you can contact them? I don't believe it."

Who the hell is this guy?

Hata Nobuko glared at Fujiwara no Kanezane and wanted to kick him out but because of her face, she could only look at Lu Xun. Unexpectedly, the latter had no intention of kicking her out and even turned away her eyes.

"Humph! What do you know?"

"Tell me about it! I also want to know how to connect with those Japanese nobles!"

Fujiwara Kanemi instantly transformed into the male version of Chitanda Ai: "I'm curious! I'm really curious!"
