Chapter 147: Women Fall by Hunger
Men are sunk by poverty, women are degraded by hunger, and children are fooled by darkness,------ Victor Hugo's "Les Miserables".
......
Marlena's husband died, she was very sad, but in order to pay tribute to the soul, she was made into the shape of the Virgin Mary, carried on a high shelf to be admired, Jiang Hao stood in the crowd, and could feel the sadness in her heart.
But the men of the town were very excited, they felt that their opportunity had come, and after the funeral, countless people wandered the gravel road in front of Marlena's house, and this usually quiet seaside stone road suddenly became lively.
The women of the town became even more jealous, and as a result, various rumors spread in the town against Marlena, who became a slut and a vixen.
Someone wrote an anonymous letter to Marlena's father, saying that Marlena had a relationship with every man in the town and was a complete slut, and Marlena's father was angry and cut off contact with Marlena.
Marlena, who has no income and is now unable to eat at her father's house, is in a dilemma, she does not know who else she can rely on, she does not know how to survive, she is now suffering from the loss of her husband and the suffering of hunger.
"Papapa~Papapa~"
The knocker was slapped, Marlena wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, got up to open the door, and when she opened the door, she found that it was her neighbor, she was a little surprised, and said with a little sadness: "Hello Mr. Bernano, is there something wrong?" ”
"It's a pity that your husband died in battle, I attended the funeral, I haven't seen you out of the room for a few days, I came to see you." Jiang Hao said.
"Please come in." Marlena opened the door.
Jiang Hao walked in with a package.
On the gravel road, there were many men wandering back and forth at this moment, and when they saw Jiang Hao knocking on the door and entering, they were jealous of Jiang Hao one by one.
"Who is he and why did he enter Marlena's house?"
"It's an alien painter."
"What, painters, oh, artists are a bunch of perverts, and Marlena can't fall into his hands."
"If an outsider dares to covet Marlena, the sheriff should take care of it."
"I think I should get him out of town."
The men were discussing Jiang Hao indignantly outside, but the living room was very quiet, Jiang Hao said: "Now, maybe you are still grieving, I don't know how to comfort you, I brought you some food, bread, jam, cheese, sausages, I just hope that when you are sad, you will not be hungry." ”
Hearing Jiang Hao's words, Marlena felt that this Mr. Bernano was really caring, and when she was in the most pain, he cured her two pains at once.
"Thank you, Mr. Bernarno." Marlena thanked her sincerely.
"Marlena, the grief will always pass, the living will continue to live, if you have any difficulties, no matter what, you can come to me, I heard that you have no income, the government has stopped paying pensions, think about my previous proposal, you can come and model me, then you can earn enough to support your own salary."
Jiang Hao once again mentioned the matter of modeling, if Marlena had a stable income, she would no longer be hungry, and she would not slide into the abyss because of hunger.
"Mr. Bernano, I'll think about it seriously." Marlena said.
This time Marlena did not directly refuse, she really needed an income to fill her stomach.
Jiang Hao stood up and said, "Okay, then I'll take my leave, I live not far away You know, if you think about it, you can come to me at any time, of course, if you need any help, you can also come to me, I mean, anything." ”
At this moment, Marlena suddenly felt a ray of sunshine shining into her heart, in her coldest and most helpless moment.
The group of men outside had been wandering for many days, and they had a clear idea of what Marlena was thinking, what they wanted was her body, but none of them were really willing to help her.
Jiang Hao left Marlena's house, and when he came out, he saw many men standing scattered outside, casting unkind glances at him one by one.
Jiang Hao felt that they were ridiculous, a group of guts and lustful guys.
Marlena opened Jiang Hao's gift, and immediately couldn't help but break off a piece of bread and put it in her mouth, and then she came to the kitchen with the food, smeared jam on the bread, and put it in her mouth, she felt that this was the most beautiful moment in the world.
Mr. Bernano is a good man.
Perhaps, I should really think about being a model for Mr. Bernano.
As soon as he returned to his villa, Davy and Luca came, and two of his men, the car was parked in the yard, and the four of them each carried a suitcase, and Mrs. Federer had known Davy and Luca for a long time, and knew that they were both Mr. Bernarno's men, so she didn't ask too much.
Carrying the suitcase upstairs, a total of four suitcases were placed on the ground, Luca said: "Boss, all the tobacco has been sold, and it is a total of 1.57 million lire here." ”
Jiang Hao nodded with satisfaction, selling 70,000 lira more than expected, and it seems that the price of tobacco has increased again.
"Very well done,"
Jiang Hao pushed back two boxes of money and said, "Dawei, Luca, you have worked hard, you two will each have a bonus of 20,000 yuan for this business,"
When the two of them heard this, they immediately smiled.
"Sakadu, Bashali, Fabio Grosso, Casani, the four of them, 10,000 yuan each." These four people are now group leaders.
"I think Bio will be very happy." Dawei Dao.
"The remaining 20 people, 5,000 each, you go and distribute these." Jiang Hao said.
"Okay boss, those guys will be very grateful to you." Luca Dao.
Jiang Hao continued: "As for the rest of the money, it will be used as funds for the next time, Dawei, you control the purchase channels and Sicilian sales channels, Luca, you are in charge of smuggling and all the business in Tunisia. Our business will flourish, we will get richer and stronger. ”
"When doing things, we must pay attention to concealment, pay attention to safety, and if someone really stands in our way, we should kill and don't be soft."
"The organization continues to recruit people, let the people in the organization recommend familiar people to come in, we want to develop and grow, and the future of Sicily will definitely be our world."
Jiang Hao's words were boiling with enthusiasm, "Boss, we will do a good job." ”
The two left the villa with two more money boxes, Jiang Hao was in the room, looking at the two big boxes and worrying, what to do with the money.
These two boxes of money plus the remaining 200,000 lire before, he has a total of nearly 1 million lire in his hand, Jiang Hao has also seen a lot of money, so naturally he will not be excited because of this money, but he can't let them depreciate with this money.
It is an unpardonable sin for a person who has studied economics and finance.
You have to find a way to spend them, at least in 2 years, and when 1943, after the American army occupies Sicily, Italy surrenders, and the economy collapses, the money will become a waste of paper.
Walking downstairs, Jiang Hao saw that Federer and Mrs. Federer were there, Jiang Hao thought for a while and said, "Federer, I'll give you a task." ”
"Sir, if you have something, please command." Federer said respectfully.
Jiang Hao asked, "Is the food on the market getting more and more expensive now?" ”
"Yes sir, at least two or three percent more than last month, many people feel unbearable, some people work for a month, may not be able to fill the stomach of the family." Federer Road.
Recently, the price of food has risen sharply, and I am afraid that it is inseparable from Jiang Hao's smuggling, and they have purchased a large amount of grain on the black market, which will inevitably raise prices.
These are not what Jiang Hao has to consider, he is not a saint, and the living problems of the Italian people make Mussolini worried.
"That said, money is depreciating, Federer, give you a task, buy more food to store, the more the better, I remember there was an underground storage room under the kitchen, right?"
"Yes sir, a big pantry." Mrs. Federer replied.
"Fill the pantry." Jiang Hao said.
Mrs. Federer was surprised and said, "Sir, I'm afraid it will take a lot of money." ”
"How many?"
"I don't know, but I'm afraid it will take tens of thousands of lira."
Jiang Hao took out a thick pile of money from his pocket and put it on the table, making Federer and his wife a little dumbfounded, Jiang Hao didn't care about the couple's reaction, and said: "I think this money should be enough." ”
"Flour, potatoes, ham, sausages, caviar, butter, cheese, jams, all kinds of condiments, all kinds of canned food, all kinds of red wine, as long as it is easy to store, buy in large quantities."
In fact, Jiang Hao can get food through Dawei and them, as much as he wants, but he is cautious, if Dawei and they send him a large number of supplies, some of them are not easy to explain, it is better to let the housekeeper buy it directly.
Anyway, he's not bad for money.
......
Dressed in black, Marlena walks the streets of the town, ready to ask at the employment agency to see if she can get a job.
Mr. Bernano has run out of food, and she is gradually moving on from the grief of the first loss, and she must think about her own survival.
Marlena's reappearance in the town attracted the attention of countless men, who would stand on the side of the road where Marlena was going to walk, and when Marlena walked by, they took off their hats one by one to greet her.
"Marlena, please mourn."
"Marlena, accept my invitation to lunch if you will."
"Marlena, you're still so beautiful."
And the women of the town, once again, launched their mouth-poisoning offensive, what widows, bitches, prostitutes, and nasty women, there are no words they can't say.
Did Marlena do something wrong?
No
She didn't do anything.
Just because of her beauty caused the jealousy of this group of women.
She still didn't find a job, and on the way back, Marlena felt very sad and painful, why she couldn't find a job to make ends meet, her requirements were not high, and slowly she thought about whether she wanted to agree to Mr. Bernano's offer to be his model.
This might have made her even more infamous, and she could imagine what the women would say, and as soon as she entered Mr. Bernano's house, the name of mistress and indecent woman would be completely on her head.
Before she knew it, she had reached her door, and she stood at the door looking at the house a hundred meters away, which was the villa of the Federer family, where Mr. Bernano now rented.
Do you want to go over yourself.
suddenly
A wave of hunger hit, Marlena couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, yes, she was so hungry, she didn't eat last night, she only drank a glass of water in the morning, and seeing that it was almost noon, she really didn't know how to get through.
Marlena looked at her door and turned towards the villa.
