Chapter 280 278 Han Jinyan was scolded

After collecting all the gold, silver and jewelry that Taro Miyazaki had transported back to his country over the years, Gu Hua looked at the island that was almost turned into ruins by him.

She decided to send people to develop this place when she had the chance. If someone was willing to live on this small island with a good environment, she would send them over.

It is better for our own people to occupy such a good geographical location and sea resources than for bandits from other foreign countries to come and occupy it as their territory and do evil.

-

A tall woman in green clothes stood on the deck facing the wind, a gentle smile on her beautiful face. The sea breeze blew up the strands of hair hanging beside her cheeks, revealing her beautiful face.

"Set sail." Feng Biao withdrew his astonished gaze and shouted loudly. More than a dozen ships of various sizes set sail and left the port at the same time.

The sunlight shines on the sparkling sea, like golden brocade interwoven with blue silk, gorgeous and beautiful.

The blue sea water is billowing with waves, and the waves are beating against the rocks on the shore. Looking into the distance, the sky and the sea are connected together, without boundaries, and the air is fresh and refreshing.

Gu Hua stood on the deck and looked at the beautiful sea. In the bright morning light, seagulls flapped their wings and soared, their feathers shining with a faint silver light, as if they were elves on the sea.

Circling in the air, free and unrestrained, soaring under the blue sky and white clouds, it seems to be telling the freedom and beauty of life.

"Boss, the sea is so beautiful!" Su Fuying, who had come to Gu Hua's side at some point, looked at the sky over the same sea with her and sighed softly.

"Yeah, it's very beautiful." Gu Hua turned around and pointed at the island they were leaving, and said, "Fuying, I plan to build it into a beautiful island when I have the chance. What do you think about me living here when I'm old?"

"The temperature here is just right, and it's like spring all year round," Su Fuying also looked towards the island. Except for the area that Gu Hua had bombed, the hills and beaches on the island were covered with dense vegetation, and lush palm trees and various flowers were in full bloom.

"If it is well built, the scenery of this island will be very nice." Su Fuying said pertinently: "It is very suitable for living."

Gu Hua also thinks that the climate here is pleasant and the scenery is beautiful, making it a very suitable place to live and retire.

Han Jinyan took a look and saw Su Fuying, who was as gentle as jade when talking to others, curled her lips and came over, "Master, are we going to meet up with Mu Feng?"

Gu Hua glanced at Han Jinyan, who had a sly smile on his face, and pushed Su Fuying aside to stand next to her, "Well, after we meet up with them, we'll go back to Xiongzhou.

This time those people planned to transfer me out, I am afraid that they not only want to assassinate me, but also may take advantage of my leaving the base camp to attack the territory we occupy south of the Yangtze River."

When talking about serious matters, Han Jinyan immediately put away his cynical and ruffian look. After hearing what Gu Hua said, he felt that this speculation was very likely to happen, "Then let's go back as soon as possible."

Therefore, Feng Biao, who also heard Gu Hua's words, was stern. He knew that if the territory they had occupied for so many years was taken away by others, the fate waiting for them would definitely not be good.

He hurried down and ordered the voyage to full speed so as to meet up with Mu Feng as soon as possible.

In this way, Gu Hua can return to take charge of their own base earlier and prevent some people from taking away the half of the territory they have fought for over so many years while she is away.

……

On the return ship, someone hurried to report to Gu Hua, "Master, some of the women who were insulted by the Japanese pirates wanted to jump into the sea to commit suicide. They were found and stopped but are still threatening to die. What should we do?"

Gu Hua frowned slightly.

Later she learned that among the thirty or forty women rescued from the island, some were robbed from fishing villages by Japanese pirates, while others were sent by those who colluded with them.

Those women were usually kept by private individuals, or bought from brothels and sent to the island as tools to exchange benefits with the Japanese. In the final analysis, they were a group of pitiful women who had no choice.

"Take me there."

"Yes."

When Gu Hua arrived at the boat the women were on, he heard...

"Let us die!"

"After something like that happened, how can we still live in this world with dignity?"

Gu Hua approached and saw several women with disheveled hair, struggling and crying. They were being held back by Jiang Ming and four or five female soldiers and were not allowed to jump into the sea.

The other women who were insulted by the Japanese stood there blankly, as if they were also influenced by the women who were seeking death. Their expressions were numb and they had thoughts of committing suicide because they were too ashamed to face others.

Gu Hua sighed softly, and saw that these women were filled with fear and helplessness. Their faces were pale, and their eyes were full of helplessness and despair, which made people feel deeply sympathetic.

Han Jinyan, who followed Gu Hua, said, "Isn't it good to be alive?"

One of the insulted women, named Qiu Niang, looked at Han Jinyan with disdain, "Who wants to die when they can live well!"

Gu Hua looked at Qiu Niang with a flash of pain and helplessness in his eyes, as well as hatred for the injustice of fate. Finally, his eyes became dark, numb and empty, like a dark night without light, dead silent.

"We have obviously rescued you. Those bad things that happened can't stop you from living?" As a straight man, Han Jinyan didn't understand why these women were so obsessed with seeking death.

"Oh!" Qiu Niang sneered, "As men, how can you understand the suffering of us women?"

"Do you know?" Qiu Niang pointed at nearly half of the women in the crowd, her eyes red, and said hatefully: "Ask them how old they were when they were sold to the brothels, who sold them, and who the money from selling them went to."

Han Jinyan glanced at Gu Hua, who was looking at him indifferently, and turned his head and asked, "What does their being sold have to do with their current desire to commit suicide?"

“Heh…heh…” Qiu Niang covered her mouth and raised her head to laugh bitterly, tears falling from the corners of her eyes, “All of us women were sold when we were young, and it was our biological parents who pushed us into the fire pit and sold us into the brothel.

We were sold only because we were girls, and they called us money losers. Most of the money from selling us was for the boys in the family to give them a better life.

Perhaps influenced by Qiu Niang, or perhaps other women also wanted to vent, "What kind of men are you? You are selfish and heartless, and you don't care about the brotherhood."

“My family was not poor, but was considered a wealthy one in the village. It was only because when I was young I ate an egg that my mother cooked for my brother who was a student.

My heartless brother instigated my mother, who favored boys over girls, to sell me to a passing human trafficker, and then I ended up living in a brothel like this."

Then Han Jinyan heard more and more. Just because they were born girls, their fate was controlled by their biological parents when they were at home. Among them, several women were bullied by the men in their husband's family, their mother-in-law, aunts and uncles after they got married, and were eventually sold to brothels for money.

Only then did he more or less understand the injustice towards women in this era.
