Wind Chaser: Rebirth in the 18th Year of the Republic of China

At the same time, Shen Jinzhen was holding the concession newspaper, and his expression became more serious.

We are all members of the Shen family. She knows that making concessions for the sake of the family is a helpless move, but if this continues, it will be difficult for the Shen family to turn things around after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War.

On November 21st, Shen Tuanan came to the Shen family's old house after completing his translation work.

"Tunan, you're here. Long time no see."

The clan elder stood up tremblingly with the help of a cane. He hadn't seen Shen Tunan for many years. In his impression, Shen Tunan was not even as tall as his waist.

Shen Tunan immediately stepped forward to support the elder and helped him back to his previous seat. Then he humbly greeted him, "Tunan is unfilial. Due to work and family reasons, I have only been back a few times. I hope the elders will forgive me."

In the early years, Shen Tunan could come back several times a year. Later, he got married and went abroad for further studies. After returning, he began to serve the party and the country. He was so busy that he had little time to accompany Xiao Yuer, let alone go home.

"Good boy, you have brought glory to the country. We don't blame you, we are proud of you. It's a pity that you will become a national shame now."

When Qingtang made the decision to surrender to the enemy, he did not agree, but at that time there were only two choices: surrender to the enemy or death. Qingtang kept kowtowing to him, saying that the Shen family could not be ruined like this, so he softened his heart.

"Shen Qingtang's decision was indeed wrong. The Shen family will be despised by many people if they surrender to the enemy and become a puppet army."

Shen Tunan was very dissatisfied with his elder brother's decision at the time. He and Jinzhen were still working hard to save the country, but Shen Qingtang, on the contrary, went straight to the Japanese government.

After Shen Qingtang finished his family affairs, he heard that Shen Tunan had returned. He immediately thought that he must have come back to call for punishment.

He returned to the main hall angrily and happened to hear Shen Tunan blaming him.

"Shen Tunan, what makes you think my decision was wrong? Do you know that if I had said I disagreed at the time, you would be looking at a room full of corpses now!"

Shen Qingtang stepped forward, grabbed Shen Tunan by the collar, and scolded him loudly.

"I'm just saying that your choice is incorrect, I'm not saying you can't make that choice."

Shen Tunan snatched Shen Qingtang's collar from him and straightened it carefully.

"Do you know that after the Japanese army occupied a place, they would force everyone to surrender? In Jinshan County, there was a family that was quite courageous and would rather die than surrender. But do you know what happened to that family?"

When Shen Qingtang recalled it, there was still fear in his eyes. He did not think death was a terrible thing, but that incident was simply horrifying.

"They shot all the men in that family, chopped the children in half from head to toe, tied up the women and raped them, and cut off their breasts as souvenirs. How dare I gamble with the lives of 142 people in the Shen family?"

Seeing Shen Tunan's silence, Shen Qingtang laughed bitterly, "I know you are loyal to the party and the country, and have been determined to serve the country since childhood. People of our generation are far behind you.

But I am also an educated person, and I know what integrity is. Am I surrendering to the enemy just to survive?"

As the head of the Shen family, he could not let the older generation die at the hands of the Japanese army, nor could he watch his wife, daughter and relatives being violated by those beasts. What was wrong with him enduring the humiliation for this?

"Brother, this time I came here, I brought you and your family some money to live on, as well as some food."
