African Nationhood

Chapter 177 The Rebirth of a Criminal
  As the morning sun rose, 25-year-old Zhao Niudan's face was filled with vicissitudes of life, and his body was as stooped as an old man. He was riding a skinny horse and walked along the road to Guanming Town.

Because it was too early, there were no pedestrians on the road.

Zhao Niudan was in a more comfortable mood. His skinny horse was carrying a rattan basket.

The basket contains many snacks, cans, small jewelry, powder and brand new clothes.

He is now a street vendor, a well-established vendor under the jurisdiction of the regional government.

He looked at the bright red sun in the sky and couldn't help singing a ditty.

"What a flower, one day it will fall in my house,
  I just wear it and enjoy the flowers without going out.

What a jasmine flower, no flower in the garden can compete with it.

I wanted to pick one and wear it, but I was afraid that people who looked at the flowers would scold me.

......"

This "Flower Flower Tune" is a traditional minor tune from Suzhou. According to legend, it was composed by Xu Da, Chang Yuchun and others. He was escaping from famine in Suzhou and gradually learned this minor tune over time.

The more he sang, the more sad he became, and he burst into tears. All this was his own fault, and he couldn't blame anyone else.

Zhao Niudan remembers that it was February 1880, when the Qing Dynasty had just celebrated the New Year.

Refugees from the North had no place to go, so they had to huddle together in a dilapidated temple.

Refugees like them, who have no food to eat, have no choice but to live stiffly. Often when they wake up, there will be a few more corpses in the ruined temple.

Everyone was numb and didn't care at all. They just hoped that they could live one more day.

By some kind of bad luck that day, a county government official pushed open the door of the ruined temple and tested each of them one by one to see if they were dead.

Finding that he was still conscious, he threw a steamed bun to him.

With food, he regained his consciousness.

The yamen servant told him that he would be sent to a place where he could have enough food.

In this way, he was taken to a British ship, and then traveled across the ocean to Southwest Africa.

When he first arrived here, he was able to have enough food, clothing, and literacy. He was so excited that he thought he had arrived in heaven.

He lived well every day, had good food, and was able to get free land allotment at that time. Later, he settled in the Central Plains region and became a Han plantation owner with 30 acres of land.

At that time, when opening up new settlements, everyone worked together to clear up wasteland, level the fields, and build canals.

The greatest pleasure for these people every day is to get together and evaluate the hired black indigenous women.

How does this one look, is that body good for fertility...

There are also guys who are bold enough to reach out and tease the black female natives, but the natives dare not resist.

Such reactions often encourage these people's violent desires.

However, the mayor or militia captain will usually stop the violence in time and give the perpetrators a severe rebuke, or even punish them.

Therefore, most people only stay at the level of talking.

Later, the company came up with a new policy. The previously implemented male-female matching system was cancelled. Instead, female immigrants could choose their own partners after settling down.

Zhao Niudan was ugly, so almost no female immigrants chose him.

Gradually, he became a bachelor in Wuyi Town. Seeing that other families had women running their families, his fiery heart when he first came to Southwest Africa became colder and colder.

After Li Lanzui, who lives next door, also found a wife, he felt even worse.

In the past, if I ate well and slept until dawn every day, I would feel that my life was happy.

Now he can't sleep at night, especially when he hears the noise next door, it feels like grass has grown in his heart, and he feels uncomfortable no matter what.

His mind slowly drifted to the indigenous women hired to help with farm work.

Although they don't understand their own language, these women are mothers.

He just wants to do it once, to taste the taste of a woman, just do it once!
  At that time, he seemed to be crazy, and he would not give up until he did it once.

After all his hard work, he finally got his chance.

He took advantage of the opportunity when a black indigenous woman went to the river to drink water, rushed up and succeeded.

……

Afterwards, the black native woman ran out crying and reported him. In this way, Zhao Niudan became the laughing stock and shame of Wuyi Town.

The mayor immediately took the militia members and sent him to Hot Spring City tied up.

After arriving in Hot Spring City, he went through the process and became a reform-through-labor prisoner on a farm directly affiliated with the region.

Three years, three whole years.

In three years, he endured countless ridicules and humiliations.

Every time a new criminal comes, the guards will publicize his deeds to warn newcomers, and he will become more inferior and sensitive.

In January this year, he was released from prison and came to the Wenquan Town Government to report.

The next year will be his supervision period, at which time he can allocate land again and become a farmer. If he makes another mistake during this period, he will be cleared to exit Southwest Africa.

The regional government gave two choices, either as a postman or as a salesman. Both jobs provided wages and subsidies, and he finally chose to become a salesman.

The regional government provided him with a lean horse and a rattan basket as equipment during his work.

His duty is to ensure that he visits more than a dozen towns near Hot Spring City every month, and he will receive a commission from the goods sold on a monthly basis.

One advantage of being a peddler is that you have access to many women.

He likes to be in contact with women. Although he dare not touch them, he can talk to them, and sometimes he can take the opportunity to smell the strong or weak feminine fragrance on their bodies.

The town of Guanming we are going to visit today was founded by an immigrant named Guan Ming, and his name became the place name.

Guan Ming also became the mayor of Guan Ming Town. Guan Ming is a very smart person.

His family was a relatively wealthy family in the town. In addition to farming their own land, their family also rented a lot of land belonging to soldiers or deceased soldiers.

This situation is allowed. As long as you can grow it, you can negotiate with the landowner.

When the sun reached mid-air, his destination, Guanming Town, arrived.

Zhao Niu jumped off the lean horse boldly and straightened up. He was not rickety, but walked huddled up out of habit.

Take out a big golden bell from the rattan basket.

"Dang Dang Dang~~~"

"The salesman is here, the shopping girl is here quickly~~ I can't buy it if it's too late~~"

His shouts were like a vibrating tuning fork, and soon women dressed in colorful clothes appeared.

They chattered together and came to Zhao Niudan. They gathered together and rummaged through the rattan basket for headbands, earrings, and powder. Some women even took out their new clothes from the basket and gesticulated on them.

Zhao Niudan couldn't help but smile from ear to ear every time, praising the woman for her beautiful dress.

But most of the women don't believe his vision and care more about their own feelings.

But most of the time they just look at it and are reluctant to spend hundreds of dollars on a fancy dress.

Time passed quickly, and it was almost noon. Zhao Niu boldly hammered his calf. He had been standing for half the morning and had to find a rich family to eat at noon.

Their salesmen receive a meal subsidy and are given a meal ticket after each meal. The head of the household can use the meal ticket to go to the Wenquan City Government or a service agency to exchange for military tickets.

If you go to a wealthy family's home, the food will be better, but the food in an ordinary family's home will be worse.

He packed up the rattan basket, hung it on the back of the lean horse, and then walked towards Guan Ming's house.

He planned to go to Guan Ming's house for lunch today. He had eaten at Guan Ming's house several times in the past and it tasted pretty good.

Moreover, Guan Ming's wife is very handsome and he likes to chat with her.

……

"Hiss~~hiss~~"

The thin horse snorted, and Zhao Niudan couldn't help but patted the old man and comforted him: "Don't worry, I will feed you fodder when we get to Guan Ming's house, and how about some bean cakes for you?"

As soon as I walked into the alley of Guan Ming's house, I heard a woman's cry and a man's cry coming from inside.

Zhao Niudan couldn't help but become curious, what's going on?
  Then I heard the sound of soft footsteps, as if there were many people running?
  Then Zhao Niudan saw a scene he had never seen before in his life. The handsome and charming Guan Ming's daughter-in-law, Chang Yulian, was struggling endlessly with a rag stuffed in her mouth. There were tears on her face, and her body was tied up. 's solid.

She was pushed on the horse's back, with her big ass sticking out so conspicuously that Zhao Niudan couldn't help but peek at her several times.

There is a man tied behind the horse, and it is none other than Guan Ming, the mayor of Guan Ming Town.

At this moment, Guan Ming's upper body was tied very tightly, and his mouth was stuffed with rags.
  Zhao Niudan was surprised, what happened?
  Zhao Niudan remembered that Mayor Guan Ming was extremely powerful in the district government, and he had a somewhat treacherous relationship with the new district mayor. Why was he suddenly arrested?

There are many people watching the excitement here, most of them are residents of Guan Ming Town. Everyone is wondering why Mayor Guan Ming is arrested.

When the arrest team found seven or eight black indigenous women from Guan Ming's home, everyone understood that it turned out that Mayor Guan Ming had hidden female indigenous people in his home.

Seeing that these female natives were not very old, and they had very little clothing on them, everyone understood more clearly what was going on.

And that's not all. A black child was found in Guan Ming's home!

The whole town was in a sensation, and more and more people crowded to the door of Mayor Guan Ming's house.

Pointing at each other, Guan Ming and his wife also lowered their heads as if they had given up.

When Zhao Niudan saw this, he immediately became angry. He only played once and was sent to a labor camp for three years.

This Guan Ming actually hid so many black female slaves and gave birth to a black bastard. How many years of forced labor should he be sentenced to?
  ……

The days passed quickly, half a month passed quickly, and Zhao Niudan finally found out the results of Guan Ming and his wife.

Guan Ming, together with others, molested the female aborigine, causing the aborigine to become pregnant and give birth to a child.

According to the company's "Aboriginal Management and Punishment Regulations", Guan Ming was sentenced to life-long forced labor in Sumatra, and he was also asked to take away the black child and raise him.

Guan Ming's wife, Chang Yulian, did not report the incident. Instead, she allowed her husband to molest and abuse the female aborigine. She was sentenced to life in a labor camp for several crimes and allowed the criminal to marry her.

After Zhao Niudan heard about the verdict, he immediately ran to the regional government and asked the regional government to allow him to marry Chang Yulian. He didn't care about this woman's past, he just wanted to have a family.
