Chapter 746 Neighbors of the Apartment
Gui Er said sadly, "If I leave, what will you do? I can't just abandon my comrades and go away."
Miss Shen smiled and said, "I'm glad you're willing to do this. You can continue your mission even in Jiangcheng. Go back and talk to your brother about moving in with me."
Gui'er was still a little hesitant. "This incident just happened. My eldest brother said that after a while he would ask Mother to let me move back. Besides, you and my eldest brother used to... I'm afraid my current sister-in-law wouldn't be happy. Let's wait and see. We just got out of danger, so we shouldn't cause any more trouble now."
After hearing this, Miss Shen sighed, nodded, and said, "Okay, you are just too willing to consider others."
In this way, Gui'er began to live in Jinbao's apartment. This was a floor rented by Sha Yanyao for Jinbao. There were 4 or 5 rooms, which was enough for her to live in. Of course, the environment could not be compared with Sha's mansion. There were neighbors upstairs and downstairs. After living there for two days, Dingxiang had already found out everything.
They were on the third floor. The second floor was rented by a foreign company manager. There were elderly people living there, a couple of elderly people, four children, two old maids who took care of the children and the elderly, and a cook.
Jinbao was most annoyed by their family, saying that it was noisy all day long and the children were chattering and crying non-stop. He preferred the gentleman family upstairs.
"Oh, you didn't know? They're already planning to buy a big house with a yard. I heard they came from the Northeast. They've set aside a whole room just to store their antiques, calligraphy, and paintings. The key is with the master. They've also opened an account in a foreign bank and have deposited quite a bit of money."
"How do you know about other people's money? Are they willing to tell you?" Guier asked curiously.
"I was just bored and went to play mahjong with those ladies. They were so open-mouthed that they told me everything right away. No wonder Mr. Zhang said they were all bastards."
After hearing this, Gui'er said, "You've been pregnant for a while now. It's important to stay at home and take good care of the baby. Playing mahjong is not conducive to prenatal education."
Jin Bao was stunned for a moment and said, "What do you mean?"
Gui Er then remembered that this concept didn't exist in that era, so she said, "I'm saying it would be better for you to just rest and recuperate at home."
Just as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door, and a sharp female voice rang out from outside: "Miss Jin, Miss Jin, we are short of one person, are you coming?"
When Jin Bao heard this, he quickly asked someone to open the door. Standing at the door was a very beautiful woman, about 30 years old, wearing a cheongsam. The fabric was nothing special, but the slit was very high. Usually, the slits of ordinary cheongsams only reached the knees, but hers was almost to the middle of her thighs.
She glanced inside and saw Gui'er walk straight in. As she walked in, she said to Jinbao, "Oh, there are guests at home. Is this young lady your relative?"
"She's my sister-in-law. She's had a conflict with her family and is staying here for two days. Gui'er, this is the third wife of the Zhang family."
It turned out that she was a concubine, but judging by her dress, she must have come from a brothel.
Guier stood up politely, nodded, and said, "Hello, Mrs. Zhang."
"Oh, this little girl has a voice like a lark, so nice. Look at her little face, look at her figure. By the way, sister, if you see a big and strong man when you go out, you must avoid him. That's my husband. He likes female students like you the most. If he sees someone like you, he might even forget his own last name." As she said this, Mrs. Zhang San laughed.
"Third Madam, please stop making fun of her. She's still young and shy, and she hasn't seen the world. You want to play mahjong, right? Come on, I'll go up right away."
As Jinbao and Mrs. Zhang San were talking, they were about to go upstairs. Gui'er wanted to dissuade Jinbao from going, but she was too embarrassed to speak in front of Mrs. Zhang San. Uneasy, she followed him upstairs.
As soon as I walked upstairs and into the Zhang family's house, I felt a sense of wealth and opulence. The living room was filled with exquisite antiques, and there were several paintings and calligraphy hanging on the walls. Although I didn't know much about them, I could tell they were worth a lot of money.
At this time, a burly man walked out from the inner room and said in a loud voice, "Miss Jin is here. You've been so lucky these past few days. Everyone in my family has been complaining bitterly." As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Gui'er: "Who is this?"
Jin Bao hurriedly introduced: "Brother Zhang, this is my sister-in-law Gui'er, she is staying with me for a few days."
Guier called out politely, "Mr. Zhang."
Mr. Zhang was very warm and looked at Gui'er with a smile. "Oh, this girl is really pretty. Miss Jin, your sister-in-law is really a beautiful woman." As he spoke, his eyes lingered on Gui'er for a moment before turning to Jin Bao. "Hurry up and sit down. We are short one person and we are waiting for you."
Guier then took a closer look at Mr. Zhang. He was in his early 40s, wearing a neat suit, with shiny hair, a square face and thick lips. He looked handsome, but the occasional cunning in his eyes made Guier feel vaguely uncomfortable.
After a while, the other wives arrived. Guier found that the three wives were in their 40s, 30s, and 7 or 8 respectively. The eldest wife looked or years older than Mr. Zhang. Guier immediately thought that she might be a child bride, so the wife was old and the husband was young.
Mr. Zhang said hello and went out. The ladies then started playing mahjong with Jinbao in a lively manner. During the game, the ladies chatted with each other and the topic unconsciously turned to Mr. Zhang.
"Old Zhang in our family was a wealthy man in Northeast China. His family had countless fields and businesses. If it weren't for the Japanese invasion, he wouldn't have brought us here. But Old Zhang is very capable. He started a business here and his life is booming." The second wife said proudly.
The eldest wife curled her lips and said, "Hmph, he's very capable, but he can't change his lustful nature. He already has three wives and concubines at home, but he still spends all day hooking up with prostitutes and dancers. He even doesn't spare those decent women who are in financial difficulties, and he has found many mistresses."
The Third Wife smiled as she played cards, saying, "Men are all like this. As long as they can earn money to support the family, let them do what they want. As women, we just need to take care of our own little piece of land."
Jin Bao also agreed with a smile: "That's right, it's not easy for Brother Zhang to run around in the business world, so we should just turn a blind eye to these things."
The eldest wife curled her lips and said, "Forget it. I'm too old and he won't look down on me. You should work harder and give birth to a son as soon as possible. If you only have daughters, he will have to recruit someone else into the house."
