Everyone held back their laughter and looked at Lu Ming.
Perhaps because of Yuan Mingzhu, Ning Xiner always found something distasteful about Lu Ming, thinking that he was just a libertine who did nothing and was not worthy of Mingzhu at all, but Mingzhu loved him to death.
Lu Ming fell silent and raised his hands to express surrender. He actually did this because he did not want to embarrass Mingzhu.
After eating, Lu Ming placed Du Juan in a suite upstairs. It felt as if a stone had fallen to the ground. Du Juan had been a worry for him for a long time. He didn't know what to do. Now he had no choice but to do it.
Ransom her and let's talk about the rest later.
"This room is very beautiful, worthy of Sister Cuckoo, but it's too late and there's no way to decorate it." Cai Lian looked at the whole room and said with a smile.
"What are you decorating? I think everything looks good." Du Juan said happily.
Although she lived in a separate building before, the decoration of the room was full of luxury, glitz and even a bit of depravity, which was not in line with the cold temperament she was born with. Staying in it felt suffocating.
, she disliked it very much.
It's a pity that she can't help herself and has to obey her adoptive mother in everything.
That building is not so much her residence as it is the cell where she is trapped, and it is also the fire pit where she was buried. Now she can jump out of that fire pit and be free from now on, not to mention living in such a luxurious suite.
Even if she lives in a shantytown in a slum, she is willing to do so.
More importantly, the person who saved her from the fire and water was the man she loved, which was so rare. She felt that her luck was really good. Yesterday she thought she would not be able to survive, but today she couldn't.
One step to reach the sky.
Everyone had a conversation in the room again, and then looked at what Dujuan needed, and planned to buy it and send it over tomorrow.
After all the calculations, there is really nothing missing.
Generally, people who live here do not cook their own meals, but go out to eat, or ask restaurants to deliver them. Living here means boiling water for tea or coffee, and there is a laundry room in the building.
All you need to do is clean up.
Wanguo Apartment is such a place. Everything the residents need is basically thought of and configured for you. Of course, the rent here is not affordable for ordinary people, and it is only for rent and not for sale.
Zhang Ziyang drove away with Cai Lian. Ning Xiner and Yuan Mingzhu murmured privately for a while, and then drove away alone. Mingzhu, however, stayed and lived in Lu Ming's suite.
"I have to stay here and watch you. Otherwise, even if I agree, Sister Xin'er will settle the score with you." Mingzhu stretched and said.
"That's not necessary, are you really worried about me?" Lu Ming said with a bitter smile.
"Hmph, if I really don't trust you, will I let you redeem her life? Even if I agree with you to redeem her life, I won't let her live in the same building with you. At least I have to drive her out of Shanghai." Yuan Mingzhu.
Righteous way.
"Well, that means you believe me. It's a great kindness." Lu Ming cupped his hands and smiled.
"Screw you, no matter how much I believe in you, I have to have my own attitude. I can't just let it go." Yuan Mingzhu said, shaking her head.
"You want to declare your sovereignty." Lu Ming realized.
"By the way, you are quite smart. This is to tell others that you are mine. Don't think too much." Yuan Mingzhu waved.
"I'm afraid you've thought too much. Almost everyone in Shanghai knows about the relationship between Lu Ming and Yuan Mingzhu." Lu Ming pretended to cover his face with his hands.
"That's not okay. I have to express it from time to time to prevent some people from forgetting or pretending not to know." Yuan Mingzhu stood up and took a few steps.
Lu Ming didn't dare to say anything. He felt guilty about this, so he had to take out a new quilt for Mingzhu and sleep on the sofa with his own quilt.
Fortunately, his sofa is spacious and more comfortable than an ordinary single bed, so he doesn't feel tired when he falls asleep.
As soon as he lay down, Yuan Mingzhu sat next to him and said: "You are only allowed to do this kind of thing once, and you will never do it next time."
"Where can there be a next time? I don't have that much money, so I won't." Lu Ming said firmly.
"It's hard to say. What if one day Young Master Lu's kindness breaks out and he sells iron to save a few poor girls from the fire pit? I'm not saying that what you did is wrong, let alone the whole country, just in Shanghai women are more miserable than Du Juan.
There are so many children, can you save them?" Yuan Mingzhu said.
These words shook Lu Ming like a thunderbolt.
Yes, Du Juan is still at the top in this industry. She has no worries about food and clothing. Apart from being forced to sell herself to others, she has not suffered too much. There are too many girls who are precarious at the bottom of society.
Located in every corner of Shanghai.
These poor girls may encounter various tragedies and end their lives at any time.
They are still alive, but they are actually worse off than dead. Only those who have courage, or those who still have concerns in this world, can survive with difficulty.
What is the crux of the matter?
It's poverty.
Can’t poverty be changed?
It's really tough.
Because the superficial reason is poverty, but the deeper reason is the system. As Mr. Lu Xun said, China's two thousand years of feudal society practiced a system of cannibalism.
People like him and Yuan Mingzhu are basically at the top of the food chain. Even if they don't eat people, at least they won't be eaten by others. But how many such people are there? Probably less than one in a thousand.
He thought of the system formulated by the Soviet Bolsheviks that Andrei introduced to him, the new society that overthrew the Russian dynasty.
There everyone is equal, the working class is the master of the country, not the oppressed, and the surplus value created by workers as Marx said is all concentrated in the hands of the state, and then distributed fairly, rather than concentrated among a few capitalists and
In the hands of the rulers, let them squander it.
He had never been to Russia, and he was dubious about Andre's words, but judging from the various readings he had come across before, the Soviet Union was indeed a paradise for the working class. They not only overthrew the oppressors, mainly the Tsar, but also brought them to power.
Eradicate it all. The country was formed by workers, and its leaders were elected by workers themselves.
Is such a system suitable for China?
Should China also implement such a system that is fair to all people?
"What are you thinking about?" Yuan Mingzhu asked.
"I didn't think anything of it," Lu Ming said with a smile.
"You are clearly thinking about something but still refuse to say it. If you really want to spend the night upstairs, I won't stop you." Yuan Mingzhu said angrily.
"I told you, if I rescue Du Juan from the pit of fire, and then help her, let her live a normal life through her own efforts, then I will have fulfilled my wish, and there will be no more right or wrong. As evidenced by heaven and earth, I
Do what you say." Lu Ming vowed.
"Don't think wrongly. I'm not jealous, and I'm not targeting Du Juan. I'm just afraid that you will open this hole and move people home one after another." Yuan Mingzhu patted Lu Ming and said.
"Mingzhu, don't worry, Du Juan is the first and the last." Lu Ming said sincerely.
