Chapter 169: Choice
After asking all the neighbors around, everyone didn't know where Marlena had gone, and Nino had no choice but to find the town government.
"I came looking for my wife, her name is Marlena, and she lives in this town, but I asked all the neighbors, and they don't know where Marlena has gone," he said to a staff member. ”
The staff member looked at Nino and said, "Mr. Scotty, I can take you to the mayor to talk to the mayor, what do you think?" ”
"Mayor Mare, that's great." Nino said happily.
The staff knocked on the mayor's office door, Pia sat behind his desk, saw the two and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
After Nino sat down, he began to tell his story,
"I was taken prisoner in India, I was held in a prisoner of war camp, and when the war was over, I went back to Syracuse, and I couldn't find my wife, her name was Marlena."
The corners of Pia's eyes jumped, pondered for a few seconds, and said, "Nino, I know about Malena's situation, but I'm afraid it's not good news. ”
Nino was taken aback, "Could it be that something happened to Marlena?" ”
"No, Lady Marlena is alive and well, I think I'll start from the beginning, after that battle, the military thought you were dead, announced your death, and held a grand memorial service in the town, and I was there at the time."
"Lady Marlena is very sad, you know, she is beautiful, she is the most beautiful woman in the whole of Syracuse, she has become a widow, she is coveted by many men in the town, the government has stopped paying pensions, she has no income, she is starving and there is no one to help her."
Nino covered his mouth, his eyes filled with tears, "My poor wife. ”
Pia continued: "Yes, Lady Marlena was indeed pitiful at that time, and rumors spread in the town that she lived in pain and hunger every day, and then Monsieur Bernano appeared. ”
"Mr. Bernano?"
"Yes, Monsieur Bernarno, he was an artist, he helped Marlena, and then the two of them slowly fell in love, and then the war was near Sicily, and Monsieur Bernano took Marlena to Palermo, where Monsieur Bernano bought Madame Marlena a estate."
Nino's eyes were full of sadness, and he asked in a low voice, "Is she happy now?"
"Yes, very happy, Madame Malena should be the happiest woman in all of Sicily." Pia said.
Nino lowered his head and was silent for a long time before asking, "May I ask that Mr. Bernano, who is now the Governor of Sicily, Renato. Bernano. ”
"Yes."
Pia affirmed.
Nino left the town hall and walked through the town with his head down, not knowing how to walk back to his home, was he going to look for her, he didn't know, he wasn't afraid of Renato. Bernano, but Marlena is happy now, she is dead in her heart, should I bother her?
He was sad.
Lady Marlena!
Madam!
Even the mayor of the town of Syracuse calls her Lady Marlena.
Even if he can take her back, can he give her happiness?
He didn't know.
The next day, Nino woke up hungry, he felt that he should think about survival first, but he touched his empty right arm, he didn't know what kind of job he could find, and just as he was about to go out, there was a knock on the door.
Nino opened the door, it was the government worker he had seen yesterday, and the other party said with a smile: "Mr. Scotty, you once participated in the war, and you are also a hero, we will make arrangements for heroes, and now there is a job here, I don't know if you are willing to do it." ”
"What kind of work, you know, I'm in my current situation, a lot of work can't be done." Nino hurriedly asked.
"The warehouse caretaker, one day off at work, only needs to take care of the goods in the warehouse from being lost." The staff said.
Nino smiled on his face, this job was simply perfect for him, "I don't know which factory." ”
The staff smiled and said: "Sicilian cigarette factory." ”
When Nino went to work in the Sicilian cigarette factory in the afternoon, and now that the US military occupied the Tunis Strait, Jiang Hao's ship naturally started again, and the cigarette factory had resumed production.
Now it is no longer smuggling, but fair transportation, without paying taxes and sharing to anyone, and all profits belong to him.
A few days later, the mayor of Pia came to inspect the Sicilian cigarette factory, specially inspected the warehouse of the cigarette factory, and after seeing Nino, he gave a cordial condolences.
Just as Pia was about to leave, Nino stopped Pia, "Mr. Mayor, can I speak to you alone." ”
Everyone looked at Nino in surprise, but Nino only looked at Pia, who nodded slowly, "Of course." ”
Dispersed the others, leaving only Nino and Pia in the courtyard, Nino looked at Pia and asked, "I want to ask Mr. Mayor of the town, is all this arranged by the Governor of Bernarno, including this job, after all, this factory is also owned by the Governor." ”
Pia was shocked and was silent for a while before saying,
"Yes."
Nino sighed softly, "I know that the Doge now rules all of Sicily, he has saved many people, and his prestige and power are unmatched in Sicily, no wonder no one dared to tell me the truth on the day I returned." ”
"I've been thinking a lot about it these days, in fact, in Marlena's heart, I'm already dead, and I haven't betrayed, so I don't have a little grief in my heart, and I want to thank that Mr. Bernano, who protected Marlena and didn't let her suffer in the war."
"Actually, he could have killed me very easily, it's really easy for him, right?" Nino asked, looking at Pia.
Pia didn't speak.
In fact, Nino didn't need the other party to answer anything, and continued: "But he didn't do that, but asked you to tell me everything and let me choose for myself." ”
Speaking of this, Nino was silent for a while~~
"I want Marlena to be happy, to be happy with Mr. Bernarno, I think to be happier than with me, Mr. Bernano can protect her better, I don't want to bother her anymore."
After Nino finished speaking, he turned around and went back to the warehouse.
Pia stood still and watched Nino's back for a moment before leaving.
A month later, Nino found a young widow, the war created countless widows, the young widow had a three-year-old daughter, moved into Nino's small building with the girl, and the two lived an ordinary life.
Hearing Pia's report, Jiang Hao was obviously relieved.
In fact, when he made this decision, he was also hesitant in his heart, he didn't know how Nino would choose, whether to come to him to make a big noise or make everyone known, he also thought about using extreme means to solve all the troubles, but in the end he still chose this way to face the problem head-on.
He didn't know how Marlena would react when she learned that her husband had come back alive, but he felt he had made the right choice.
Now, Nino has made his choice.
It was the best of all the results Jiang Hao could think of.
