African Nationhood

Chapter 201 Heartbreaking realization

As the Spring Festival approaches, the entire Southwest Africa will enter festival mode, and the work efficiency of public servants will double.

Because everyone wants to get off work early and reunite with their families.

Nanhua Company also thoughtfully gives people a five-day spring break. Throughout the year, there are only consecutive holidays from New Year's Eve to the fourth day of the Lunar New Year.

At other times, you can only take two days off per month, and there is no chance of consecutive days off.

Ye Rong had already finished arranging the tasks at the medical entrance and arranging the arrangements for the people left behind during the holiday. She rushed back to the dormitory on her bicycle, tidied up briefly, and then went out and boarded the train to Walvis Bay Port.

Although Anhai Town and Walvis Bay are only an hour's drive apart, the atmospheres in the two places are completely different.

99% of the residents in Anhai Town are Chinese, so the atmosphere during the Chinese New Year is very dull, while the race in Walvis Bay is more mixed.

In addition, the white people in Jinshan Town will also take advantage of the Spring Festival to go to Walvis Bay Port to join in the fun.

They white people like to join in the fun very much, and most of the people there are very rich because of the gold rush, so they usually go to Walvis Bay Port to spend money.

Combined with these factors, the popularity of Walvis Bay directly exceeds that of the entire Southwest Africa.

Other places are only slightly comparable to Hot Spring City, but the two places are far apart, and people in Anhai Town prefer to go to Walvis Bay Port for the festival.

Ye Rong naturally didn't go to Walvis Bay Port to join in the fun. She went to Mr. Shi's house in Walvis Bay Port to tidy up and have a new look in the new year.

Master Shi has promised her to be his wife. Since she accepts this honor, she has to take on the responsibilities of a wife.

The one-hour drive passed quickly, and no one on the train recognized Ye Rong, who was wearing a mask.

Even if she didn't wear a mask, no one would be able to recognize her with the newspaper printing technology at that time, so she could still enjoy a peaceful life for a while.

Once she gets married to Mr. Shi, she will no longer be able to hide it.

You also have to be accompanied by an escort when traveling, and that’s when it becomes really troublesome.

After leaving the train station, Ye Rong carefully swept the dust in front of her eyes and quickly left the train station.

Southwest Africa has spring all year round, and Walvis Bay is located in the desert, so when the wind blows, the streets will become dusty.

Usually there is no wind in Walvis Bay, but it can't stop young people riding bicycles and racing wildly.

These children are wild and often appear in groups.

The popularity of bicycles, a new form of transportation, has successfully allowed many young people to consume their excess energy.

Ye Rong walked slowly, thinking about her embarrassing situation when she first came to Southwest Africa.

I was so stupid at that time, wandering around Walvis Bay like crazy with a bunch of stupid girls.

Thinking about it now, it was like a dream. She was about to wake up from it. If Mr. Shi married her, she would reach heaven in one step!

When the time comes, she can proudly say that she is the people of Nanhua Company.

Thinking of this, Ye Rong's cheeks felt hot and she couldn't help but secretly spit on herself. She was so ashamed!

……

When she arrived at the two-story building in Whale Bay Town, Ye Rong knocked on the door knocker and poked her head out from behind the door.

After seeing clearly that it was Ye Rong, the young guard company soldier immediately smiled.

"Sister Ye Rong, why are you here?"

Except for Boss Shi who brought them here, Ye Rong and Jin Xiyue rarely come here.

Ye Rong smiled and said softly: "I'll get something."

The young guard smiled and nodded, "Okay, please come in."

Ye Rong nodded to the young guard, and then walked quickly to the two-story building.

Mr. Shi is not at home today to inspect Meibu City, and he probably won't come back until the evening.

First she took off her fine clothes, and then found a broom and feather duster from the stairwell. She planned to go to Mr. Shi's room to clean it up.

Mr. Shi's study is downstairs. He likes to stay up late at night, either correcting official documents or drafting documents.

So Ye Rong planned to go to the study to clean first, but when she opened the door and walked in, she was greeted by the choking smell of cigarette smoke.

Ye Rong could smell it even though she was wearing a mask. She couldn't help but criticize Mr. Shi, "Why don't you smoke it less? It has to be so choking." She helped open the curtains, then checked the trash can and found that the guard here was not lazy. She started to dust the furniture and decorations, and after going around, she found that the place was very clean.

Ye Rong couldn't help but wrinkled her nose, alas, there was no chance to show off.

Since you don’t have to clean it yourself, you can always tidy it up.

Then she walked to Mr. Shi's desk and started to collect the documents scattered on the table. At first, there was nothing, except that a photo fell from the documents on the table while she was cleaning it.

She picked it up curiously and took a look, and the smile on her face immediately froze.

This is a wedding photo. Although they are wearing Western clothes, the complicated pattern, narrow waist, tight, elegant and fluffy white wedding dress is too dazzling!

The newlywed couple here, the man is none other than Master Shi, whom she thinks about day and night.

The woman was white and she didn't recognize him.

That woman is very beautiful and has a much better figure than her.

Especially the breasts, which are almost exposed.

They both laughed happily, but Ye Rong's heart ached!
  She was so angry that she was shaking all over, this liar!
  He kept saying that he loved me, liked me, and promised to marry me as his wife, but he married someone else first!
  It's not that she can't accept that Mr. Shi has other women. She knows both Jin Xiyue and the woman in Europe.

Master Shi had told her before that she could accept it, but she could not accept him lying to her!
  Ye Rong suddenly felt dizzy and slumped down on the armchair.

Her tears flowed slowly and uncontrollably, why?
  Why!

She felt distressed and her eyes glanced at the envelope where the photo had been dropped.

This handwriting was so familiar. She remembered that this handwriting seemed to belong to Mr. Shi's sister.

She reached for the envelope and poured out the toad-folded letter. Sure enough, it was her!

Ye Rong hesitated for a while before opening the letter tremblingly. The letter was written in English.

After years of study, Ye Rong has become proficient in reading and writing English.

Dear Henry:

It has been 13 days, 18 hours and 43 minutes since you left Springfield.

Every second that passes is my missing you, dear Henry. I am stroking my belly to tell our baby how much I miss you. I think he must also be looking forward to meeting his father.

After thinking about it, I think I should tell you my thoughts in this letter. From the moment I learned from my mother that you were going to marry an oriental girl as your wife, I planned to destroy your marriage.

If my mother hadn't told me that you would come to the United States soon, I would have planned to take a boat to Africa and kill you with a gun before committing suicide.

Fortunately, you came to the United States and saved both of our lives.

When you and I were wrestling in the hotel room and you told me your secret, when you said you couldn't guarantee that your career would succeed and you didn't want to embarrass me, I had already made up my mind.

I will not kill you anymore, I will bravely face all the risks in the future with you.

That's why I put sleeping pills in your drink and climbed into your bed.

Fortunately, I have good knowledge of pharmacy and the dose was not large, so you woke up quickly and we finally became one.

When my mother asked me why I was so stubborn.

What flashed through my mind was the reluctance and love on your face when you said you didn't want to implicate me.

At that moment I was really sure of my heart, I really love you!
  So I don’t mind being your Eastern wife’s subordinate, I will respect her, let her bless us, and get along well with me.

I firmly believe I can do it!
  Our child will be born in a few months. I hope you can stay with me to welcome our child into the world. Can you?

Love you Kelly

Written in Springfield, November 1885, 11.

After reading the entire letter, most of Ye Rong's grievances were gone.

Mr. Shi didn't lie to me, that woman took the initiative to seduce him, but they got married first, what should I do?
