Chapter 168 Choice

After asking all the neighbors around, no one knew where Malena went. Nino was helpless and could only find the town government.

He said to a staff member: "I came to find my wife, her name is Malena, she lives in this town, but I asked all the neighbors and they didn't know where Malena went. "

The staff member looked at Nino and said, "Mr. Scout, I can take you to have a reaction with the mayor, what do you think."

"Mayor, that's great." Nino said happily.

The staff knocked on the mayor's office door, Pia sat behind the 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 put in a prisoner of war camp, the war was over, I went back to Syracuse, but I couldn't find my wife, her name was Malena."

The corners of Pia's eyes jumped, and after thinking for a few seconds, she said, "Nino, I know about Malena's situation, but I'm afraid it's not good news."

Nino was startled, "Could it be that something happened to Malena."

"No, Mrs. Malena is alive and well. I think I should start from the beginning. After the battle that year, the military thought you were dead, announced your death, and held a meeting in the town. A grand memorial service, and I was there at the time."

"Mrs. Malena is sad, you know, she's beautiful, the most beautiful woman in all of Syracuse, she's a widow, coveted by a lot of men in town, the government has stopped paying her pension, she doesn't have any income, starving and no one to help her."

Nino covered his mouth with tears in his eyes, "My poor wife."

Pia continued: "Yes, Mrs. Malena was really pitiful at the time. There were rumors in the town that she lived in pain and hunger every day, and then Mr. Bernano appeared."

"Mr. Bernano?"

"Yes, Mr. Bernano, he is an artist, he helped Malena, and then the two slowly fell in love. Later, when the war approached Sicily, Mr. Bernano took Malena to Balle. Mo, there Mr. Bernano bought a manor for Madame Malena."

With sadness in Nino's eyes, he asked in a low voice, "Is she living happily now?"

"Yes, very happy, Madame Malena should be the happiest woman in Sicily." Pia said.

Nino lowered his head and was silent for a while before asking, "May I ask Mr. Bernano, is that the current Governor of Sicily, Renato Bernano?"

"Yes."

Pia said with certainty.

Nino left the town government and walked through the town with his head down. He didn't know how to get home. Should he go to find her? He didn't know, he wasn't afraid of Renato Bernano, but Malena was now She was very happy, she was dead in her heart, should she disturb her?

He is sad.

Lady Malena!

lady!

Even the mayor of the town of Syracuse calls her Madame Malena.

Even if I can get her back, can I give her happiness?

he does not know.

The next day, Nino woke up from hunger. He felt that he should think about survival first, but he felt his empty right arm. He didn't know what kind of job he could find. Just as he was about to go out, a knock rang door sound.

Nino opened the door, it was the government worker he had seen yesterday, the other party said with a smile: "Mr. Scout, you have participated in the war and you are a hero, we will make arrangements for heroes, and now there is a I don't know if you want to do it or not."

"What kind of work, you know, in my current situation, I can't do a lot of work." Nino asked quickly.

"Warehouse keeper, work a day and take a day off, as long as the goods in the warehouse are not lost." The staff said.

A smile appeared on Nino's face, this job was so suitable for him, "I don't know which factory it is."

The staff said with a smile: "Sicilian cigarette factory."

In the afternoon, Nino went to work at the Sicilian cigarette factory. Now that the U.S. military has occupied the Tunis Strait, Jiang Hao's ship has naturally started again, and the cigarette factory has resumed production.

Now it is no longer smuggling, but an open and honest transportation, no need to pay taxes and share to anyone, and all profits belong to him.

A few days later, the mayor of Pia came to Sicily to inspect the cigarette factory. He specially inspected the warehouse of the cigarette factory. After seeing Nino, he cordially expressed his condolences.

Just when Pia was about to leave, Nino stopped Pia, "Mr. Mayor, can I have a few words with you alone."

Everyone looked at Nino in surprise, but Nino only looked at Pia, who nodded slowly, "Of course."

After dispersing the others, only Nino and Pia were left in the courtyard. Nino looked at Pia and asked, "I want to ask Mr. Mayor, was all this arranged by the Governor Bernano, including this work, after all, this factory is also owned by the Governor."

Pia was startled, and after a while of silence, he said,

"Yes."

Nino sighed softly, "I know that the Governor is now ruling the whole of Sicily. He has saved many people. His prestige and power are unmatched in Sicily. No wonder no one dared to talk to me when I came back. Tell the truth."

"I've thought about it a lot these days. In fact, in Malena's heart, I've already died and I haven't been betrayed, so I don't have any grief and anger in my heart. I would also like to thank Mr. Bernano, who protected Malena. She didn't suffer in the war."

"Actually, he can kill me easily. It's really easy for him, right?" Nino asked Pia looking at him.

Pia did not speak.

In fact, Nino didn't need the other party to answer anything, and continued: "But he didn't do that. Instead, he asked you to tell me everything and let me choose."

Speaking of this, Nino was silent for a while~~

"I hope Malena is happy. Following Mr. Bernano, I think it is better than following me. Mr. Bernano can protect her better, and I don't want to disturb her anymore."

After Nino finished speaking, he turned back to the warehouse.

Pia stood there watching Nino's back, and left after a while.

A month later, Nino found a young widow. The war created countless widows. The young widow and a three-year-old daughter moved into Nino's small building with the girl. The two lived together. ordinary people's day.

Hearing Pia's report, Jiang Hao was obviously relieved.

In fact, when he made this decision, he was hesitant in his heart. He didn't know how Nino would choose, whether to come to him to make a fuss or to make everyone known. He also thought of using extreme means to solve all the troubles. But in the end, he chose to face the problem in this way.

He didn't know how Malena would react after learning that her husband came back alive, but he felt that his choice was right.

Now, Nino has made his own choice.

It is the best result of all Jiang Hao can think of.
