Something happened. This is not going to be bloody.

Chapter 414 Miss Wu - Decided to Go Abroad

After a long and arduous struggle, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression finally ushered in the dawn of victory!

The land devastated by war is gradually recovering its vitality. People are full of longing and expectation for a happy life in the future, and their faces are filled with joyful smiles.

Zhang Shouyi's heart, which was excited by the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, has sunk to the bottom, because the first to occupy Taipei City was not the People's Army he expected, but the National Army. He thought that the two parties would negotiate to avoid more casualties. However, the latest mission he received was to continue to hide his identity as a Communist Party member.

The first thing the National Army did when it occupied Taipei was to eliminate the traitors. Zhou Leng knew that this was the case in Taipei, and it must be the same in the county town.

Although Wu Fengyue is in the United States, she knows all the news in the country. Zhou Leng doesn't know that Deputy Commander Chang is now Army Commander Chang, so it is easy for him to save the Wu family.

The Wu family sent a telegram to the magazine, and Zhou Leng and Zhang Shouhe boarded the train back to the county town.

Although I go home every New Year, the feeling of strangeness still fills my heart.

The Wu family's house remains the same, and the familiar bricks and tiles seem to have been frozen in time. In sharp contrast to this unchanging house, Wu Fengjun has become old and decrepit. How high-spirited he once was, how haggard and withered he is now.

Zhou Leng's face was filled with concern and distress. She murmured in surprise: "Dad, why are you......"

Zhou Leng didn't know the details. Someone reported that Wu Fengjun was a traitor who sold out his country for personal gain. The Bureau of Secrets acted quickly, arrested Wu Fengjun, put him in prison, and tortured him severely.

This short but painful prison sentence wiped out Wu Fengjun's attachment to his own land and increased his worries about the future. Even when he returned home, he could still hear the cold and damp prison cell and the torture during the interrogation.

Due to the differences in time and information as well as the complexity of various networks of relationships, when Commander Chang personally called the Taipei Station of the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics to rescue people, Wu Fengjun had already confessed everything under endless pain and fear, admitting that he was a traitor. He said that he did not harm anyone but only wanted to protect his family's safety. After begging for mercy several times, he waited for the final verdict.

Commander Chang came to redeem the man, the confession letter was torn up and burned, and the man was sent to the hospital for treatment. Even though those people politely sent Wu Fengjun away, he only felt fear in his heart, not hatred for them, because he knew that he had indeed made a mistake.

"Shouhe, you sit down and talk with Xiaomin, I'm fine."

After the family sat down, Wu Fengjun spoke out what he had been thinking about for a long time: "I've thought about it. Now that the Japanese have been driven away, your third aunt asked Commander Chang to save me once, but no one knows who will rule the world in the future. If it happens again, I will lose my life. I have already sent a telegram to Fengyue. I have decided to sell my property and go to the United States."

The family's faces were unpredictable.

Wu Chenrui had matured a lot after his father went to jail. He was the first to express his opinion: "I support Dad. In the past, Dad surrendered to the Japanese to save our family. This matter can be suppressed for a while, but not forever. Leaving is the best choice. Big sister, you should come with us. If brother-in-law doesn't want to go, you can get a divorce. If you stay, sooner or later you will be implicated. You are beautiful, and it will be too much trouble for you to stay."

Zhou Leng agreed in her heart but looked calm. She knew that no matter how good her skills were, they would only be a drop in the ocean in the future.

Zhang Shouhe turned his head in shock and looked at his brother-in-law who was always outspoken. This guy always asked his sister to divorce him. Even if they were forced to separate, it shouldn't be a divorce.

The two generations of men in the Wu family expressed their opinions, and the women nodded obediently even if they were unwilling in their hearts.

Zhou Leng turned her head to look at Zhang Shouhe. She was a decisive person. Even though they had been together for many years and had supported each other through thick and thin, she had already made a decision in her heart. She had also anticipated Zhang Shouhe's decision. In the world of this couple, love was never the first choice.

Zhang Shouhe met his father-in-law's gaze and said, "Well, this is a big deal. Moving out won't take one or two days. Let's go back and discuss it."

Once Wu Fengjun made up his mind to do something, he would leave no room for hesitation. He took out all the house deeds and prepared to sell them. Except for those given to his sisters who had married out, he exchanged all the others for gold bars and took them away.

The couple stayed at Wu's house that night.

In fact, deep down in his heart, Zhou Leng had already decided to go to the United States with Wu Fengjun. After all, given the Wu family's past and his third uncle who was a high-ranking Kuomintang official, and his third aunt who was in the United States, this configuration would always be a top target for criticism no matter what period.

Zhang Shouhe was very silent. After living together for many years, he knew his wife very well. However, his parents and relatives were here, and his wife's blood relatives would no longer be here. This was a difficult decision. He could not abandon his parents and go to a foreign country with his wife, and he had no reason to stop his wife from leaving. After all, the national army was now occupying Taipei City. If what he was doing was exposed, it would implicate his wife as well.

"You, you should go to America with your father. I will come to find you after I finish my work here."

Zhou Leng turned her head to look at the man. They had been together for ten years, but he had never changed. She had never been pregnant in ten years. He had resisted all the pressure from the Zhang family to give birth. Thinking of this, she said, "I'm pregnant!"

Zhang Shouhe tilted his head in shock. He reached out and took his wife's hand, his fingers gently resting on her wrist. The silence in the room made the beating pulse so clear.

"You know, there won't be peace next. I think you'd better leave with me. Otherwise, I'm afraid it will be a long time before we meet again."

Zhang Shouhe felt as if he had walked into an extremely cold ice cellar on a hot summer day. The biting cold and sweaty body made him shiver involuntarily. He felt as if he was torn into two halves, one half was as crystal clear as ice, and the other half was as fierce as fire.

After a long silence, the man said in a hoarse voice, "Go to bed early. I'll think about it."

"it is good."

Zhou Leng actually still wanted Zhang Shouhe to go with him. The victory of the Anti-Japanese War did not mean that peace would come. In the future, the Wu family would surely be shattered, and the Zhang family would probably not be able to remain unscathed.

Zhang Shouhe stayed awake all night, tossing and turning but unable to come up with an answer.

In half a month, the Wu family sold all their property and they were ready to set off.

When some problems had to be faced, Zhang Shouhe only said: "Xiao Min, I'm sorry."

Zhou Leng smiled in relief. She just said, "Come to the United States to find me as soon as you finish your business."

"I will go there as soon as possible. Remember to telegraph when I arrive."

When Zhang Shouhe knew that his wife was pregnant, he supported her going to the United States. Compared with the lurking dangers here, Wu Fengyue, who had already established a firm foothold in the United States, could take better care of them. He still had an unfinished mission.

Neither the couple expected that after this separation, they would meet again with gray hair.
