Zeng Xi screamed, abandoned her mother, and rushed towards Zeng Nan, whom she had seen a long time ago. Due to the presence of outsiders, she planned to find out the situation first. She learned Li Yuan's identity from her elder brother and no longer concealed it.

He ran over and said, "Sister, I miss you so much. You are back. Hehe, is this black carbon head the husband you are looking for?"

He turned his head and looked Li Yuan up and down.

Li Yuan stood up awkwardly: "Hello, my name is Li Yuan."

"You are my brother-in-law? I did not agree." Zeng Xi looked mischievous.

Zeng Nan said coldly: "Do you want your consent?"

"It's boring. I'm not married yet and my arms are turned outward." Zeng Xi lowered his head.

"I see you are becoming more and more lawless. I heard that you followed those people in a parade at school and were arrested by the police?" Zeng Nan held her sister's hand.

"There's nothing I can do without telling you, just preaching." He rolled his eyes. "I mean, big guy, if you want to be my brother-in-law, you have to be serious about it, right?"

"Okay, whatever you want, I'll buy it for you tomorrow." Li Yuan didn't give up.

"Looks like he's quite rich. Tell me, how much money did you bring?" Zeng Xi said reluctantly.

"Um, I don't have a dime on me, so I gave all the money to your sister." Li Yuan glanced at Zeng Nan. He didn't have a dime, but he had a lot of gold bars.

"Haha, not bad, tell me where you work." The little girl asked curiously.

Several other people started to listen, and although they all wanted to ask, they always talked about him from a distance, and Zeng Nan didn't say anything.

"Work? No job. Do some small business in Changxing." Li Yuan didn't know what kind of job he should call himself.

"Business person? There is no future. But if you are in Changxing, I can introduce you to a relative. They have a big business there." The little girl said proudly.

"Eat first, I have something to say after dinner." Zeng Renjie's voice was a little low.

In the study, the entire Zeng family was present, except Li Yuan.

Zeng Renjie took a sip of tea: "Our family has to settle the situation first. Tomorrow, everyone in the family will come over. Although our Zeng family is very united, in these troubled times, some people are careless and careless. I'm not sure if they will."

I have some other ideas.”

Zhou Xiaofei began to talk about the purchasing businesses in the countryside managed by various relatives. The Zeng family's business was very extensive, and he talked for almost two hours.

In order to train their descendants, the big families in Jiangnan will tell their young people about the family business. They have been exposed to it since childhood, so they not only study, but also know very well about their own family's situation, which elder is responsible for what kind of business, and how to make arrangements between brothers.

There is a conclusion.

Those who are willing to join politics will join politics, and those who join the army will join the army. With the support of their families, they will naturally develop much faster than ordinary people. Once they reach a certain height, they will feed back the family. Therefore, it makes sense that a large family can endure for a long time.

.

It's just that after the Japanese came, everything changed. Business and family development cannot be bypassed. How to maintain a balance has become a top priority. For the survival of the family, family members will also be sent to various powerful forces.

For this kind of behavior, it is actually a kind of speculation. From another perspective, from the perspective of one's own survival, this choice is definitely the best choice.

Zeng Xiaobei spoke first: "I think now we need to deploy people from all aspects, select some people from the younger generation to form our own armed forces, and the national army also needs to arrange some people to go in. Since Second Sister

I have also joined the red organization. I personally have no objection. For the benefit of the family, I will temporarily stay in the police while my father is in the maintenance committee trying to find a way to start a business. My younger sister can't study now, so I think I will follow my mother.

It’s a family thing.”

Zeng Xiaodong: "You mean I still can't join the army?"

I don't have the final say on this matter. The person above didn't express his position, so my words are in vain.

I don't care, I have already signed up to join the army.

You won't let me participate, but my third brother can. This is prejudice on your part.

Zeng Nan hesitated: "Can Li Yuan also come to our meeting?"

Although Zeng Xiaodong is young, he is not without experience: "I think this Li... brother-in-law seems to have been seen somewhere."

Everyone in the family showed interest except Zeng Nan, and Zeng Xiaobei stood out even more. He sat up straight and said, "Oh, tell me?"

Zeng Xiaodong thought for a while: "I went to Si'an some time ago. If I read it correctly, he may be a member of the Changchaojie Support Club, and he is also the biggest one in it."

Zeng Xiaodong became interested: "Is there such a thing? He said he was doing a small business in Changxing. Why don't you let him come over and ask?"

Zeng Nan looked at his younger brother: "Are you going to hang out with those guerrillas again?"

"Sister, I'm not young anymore, how can I still be called a gangster? Let me tell you, these people named Li are not simple. They seem to have more than a hundred people. They beat the Japanese several times, and every time they are

We killed dozens of people and rescued several soldiers from the national army a few days ago."

"How do you know these things?"

"I joined the military reunification."

As soon as the words came out, I thought the people at home would have opinions, but instead they were met with silence.

Zeng Nan no longer hesitated: "I'll call Li Yuan."

Being pulled by Zeng Nan towards the study, Li Yuan was a little confused. Zeng Nan didn't say anything, she just said that her father had invited her.

"Mr. Li, we have something to say clearly. Although I don't have any opinions on you, this matter has something to do with my third son. If you find it inconvenient, you don't have to say it." Zeng Renjie's rare words

Speak quietly.

Li Yuan felt that the atmosphere was a bit depressing, and he even changed his name. The situation was not good: "Uncle, please just say it doesn't hurt."

"Quinzi said that he once saw you in Si'an and said that you were carrying out activities with the people from the support club?"

Li Yuan thought for a while and realized that it was no big deal to say this, so he was relieved: "Yes, these things do happen, but no one should know me?" Turning to look at Zeng Nan, Zeng Nan smiled.

Laughing and not talking.

"Then what's your relationship with the fan club?" Zeng Renjie continued to ask.

"Hey, the Support Association is an independent organization. It is under our leadership. On the surface, it organizes people to resist the Japanese for the government. In fact, it is responsible for arranging people and recruiting soldiers for our new Fourth Army."

"Oh, that's it. Then can you reveal what you said about doing business in Changxing?" Zeng Renjie became more interested and no longer hesitated to ask questions. Is it difficult for others to do so?

There is nothing to hide about this matter, and the organization also requires vigorous publicity, which is to unite these local gentry. Zeng Renjie seems to be a progressive person.

Li Yuan thought for a while: "After the National Government withdrew from Changxing, the vast countryside became a stage for the development of various forces. Our job is to integrate these armed forces, destroy those who surrender to the enemy, and unite people with lofty ideals to fight against Japan."
