More than a month passed quickly, and the real winter came. Yu Chenglong asked Mr. Yang to go to Jiangyuan County to meet Mr. Xiao and continue to make arrangements for the development of Shengdao Society membership.
At the same time, Liaison Officer Zhang was asked to contact the brothers in his charge to check on the development of members of the Holy Way Association. He himself was going to Guojiadashaoguo to find Yun Menglu and see how she was doing.
When he arrived in Dalue Town, Yu Chenglong first went to the secret contact point, met up with the two remaining brothers, and informed them of the situation in the mountains and the establishment of the Holy Dao Society.
At the same time, the contact point in Dalue Town was ordered to continue to be officially activated, with the main tasks of developing members and gathering intelligence to start work as soon as possible.
After arranging the contact point, Yu Chenglong found a hotel to stay alone, and sent someone to contact Monroe and invite her to meet in Dalue Town.
We haven't seen each other for almost three years, and it goes without saying that I miss her. As soon as Monroe met, she hugged Yu Chenglong tightly and burst into tears. Yu Chenglong comforted her for a long time before she stopped crying.
Looking at Yu Chenglong's thin, dark face, Monroe felt very distressed. In her mind, Yu Chenglong should not be like this. It seemed that he had indeed suffered a lot in recent years, let alone worried a lot.
"You have become thinner and older. You must have suffered a lot in the past few years. I heard a few days ago that your team was defeated by the Japanese. The newspaper also said that all the barbarian bandits in northern Manchuria, including Guojiang Long, were wiped out.
There was also a picture of a person named Haiqing in the newspaper, which worried me to death. I have been praying for you all day long. Now you are fine, and my heart is relieved when I see you!
I want to tell you, if it doesn’t work, let’s stop doing it. It will make people anxious all day long, and it will be too late to regret until the day something goes wrong! "
"I'm just thinking wildly, how can I do it if I don't do it? If we don't get rid of the little devil, we won't be able to live a stable life.
Fighting against the Japanese and the Japanese is the right path. A good man is determined to serve his country, even if it means sacrificing his life for the country! So many good brothers died tragically at the hands of the Japs. If we don’t avenge this revenge, we will be wasting our lives!
Now our brothers who have not sacrificed have united and established the Holy Way Society. The purpose is still to fight against the Manchus and Japan, to fight against the Japanese and eliminate the traitors. "
Yu Chenglong then explained to Monroe in detail the purpose, purpose, rules and current strategies of the Shengdao Society. Finally, he asked Monroe to join the Shengdao Society and develop his own downline.
Monroe also felt that Yu Chenglong and the others were the best choice at present to establish the Holy Association, especially since Yu Chenglong was the leader, she was naturally willing to join and said she would do more if she could.
"What I said is all nonsense about being anxious and worried. Don't think too much about it. Now let me tell you about our cooking pot. This is the main topic. I have done my best according to your request.
The business has been pretty good in the past three years. Although there has been no major development, I still made some money, so I kept it because I was afraid that I would be able to get it if I needed it urgently in the mountains.
I wanted to expand a bit more, but I was afraid of attracting the attention of the Japanese, and I didn’t know what you meant, so I didn’t rush to do it, and I haven’t seen you in the past three years.
My eldest aunt and my wife are still helping me manage the business, but they only earn wages and have no shares. My son is the sole heir to this pot.
In addition, I have your shares, so some things are basically decided by me. It just so happens that you are back now, and I want to listen to your opinions before making new plans. "
"I don't understand this. Just do whatever you want. It's better to earn more money. We will have many places to use money in the future. You have to contribute more to the development of the Holy Association.
Many of our new members are poor people and they all need help. Let's make more money. I now want to hear about the situation in Duanlonggang, my brother and my family. "
Yu Chenglong did not give any specific instructions to the Shaoguo operated by Monroe. He is now eager to know the situation at home, because after the incident in the Manbei Corps, his family will definitely be more concerned about it.
"I don't know much about your family's situation. You didn't tell me where your mother has moved. I just heard from your brother that it's fine now, but your mother misses you all day long.
Sanyang Kedu graduated from middle school and was admitted to the Manchu Army as an officer candidate. He is still training in the army and said he will go to the Central Army Training Office to study after the year.
This may take one year of study, and after graduation, you will be assigned to serve as an officer in the Manchurian Army. I tried to persuade him not to go, but he didn't listen, so I had to let him go. "
"Sanyang went to join the Manchurian Army? This...this must be his idea. He will not really work for the Japanese devils and the Manchurian Empire. I understand him."
Yu Chenglong heard that his younger brother Sanyang had gone to the Manchurian Army for training and was going to study at the Central Army Training Office. Although he didn't understand it, he firmly believed that his younger brother would not go astray.
"I also know that Sanyang will not become bad, but it has a bad reputation after all, so don't ruin yourself."
Monroe was still a little worried. She felt that people would change after entering that bad guy's den. Especially since Sanyang was still young, Monroe was worried that he might not be able to control her.
"I had the opportunity to write him a letter and persuade him."
Yu Chenglong promised to write a letter to his younger brother Sanyang, persuading him to take control of himself and never follow the crowd, let alone willingly sacrifice his life for the Japanese.
"Our harvest in Duanlonggang this year is not good. The farmers were hit by hail, which reduced the production a lot. In addition, we have to pay more grain this year, and it is estimated that Duanlonggang will have a hard time next year.
Many new residents have arrived in the village and they have no land, so the situation will be even worse. Now Wang Zhanwu has the final say in the village, and it is Wang Zhankui's younger brother who has become prosperous through his brother's influence.
He is also in charge of the big queue in the village, with people numbering one hundred and ten. By the way, your master Mr. Zhao was also invited to join the queue because he knew martial arts, but he was Wang Zhanwu's subordinate.
Duanlonggang was almost finished by Wang Zhanwu, and Mr. Zhao couldn't say anything about him. He did whatever he wanted, bullying men and women, harming the people, robbing things and expropriating food, and doing all kinds of evil.
My father couldn't do anything about him, so he suffered a lot. He became even more confident when he heard that his eldest brother Wang Zhankui had become the commander of some mixed brigade.
My father no longer wants to live in Duanlonggang, and my brother from the south also sent me a letter, asking my family to sell all their land and prepare to move the family south.
However, it is difficult to sell land, including family property. My father is still worried. It seems that he can only continue to be angry with the Japanese and Wang Zhanwu in Duanlonggang.
No, now Wang Zhanwu is preparing to move his father's grave to my family's land. In this winter, isn't it obvious that he is bullying others! But there was nothing my dad could do. "
The more Yun Menglu talked, the angrier she became. When it came to Duanlonggang, she seemed to have a lot to tell Yu Chenglong. After all, it was the place where they were born and the place where their love originated.
"Does your father still hate me now?"
Yu Chenglong heard Monroe introduce the current situation in Duanlonggang, but he didn't react much. Instead, he looked straight at Monroe and suddenly asked her father whether she still hated him.
"Why do you hate me? It's been so many years. If I really wanted to let you go, you wouldn't have run away back then. You should know this."
Monroe was stunned for a long time when Jackie Chan asked if her father still held grudges against him. However, she believed that her father no longer held grudges against Jackie Chan. Even back then, she was still angry.
"Think about it, what we did back then was a bit too reckless. Okay, let's not talk about this. If Mr. Yun really wants to sell the land, I want to buy it all.
Then I will distribute it to the villagers in Duanlonggang, so that every family can have land, everyone can support themselves and live a good life, and the excess food can be supplied to the teams in the mountains in the future.
The team has been short of food these years, otherwise they wouldn't have been beaten so badly! I wonder if your father can sell the land to me? You go back to Duanlonggang tomorrow and talk to your father.
We secretly bought the land, obviously it is still your family's land, so we say it is rented to farmers on an equal basis for planting. However, we must not collect rent after the fall, and neither can we, the Holy Path Association, collect rent.
All the food harvested by the villagers belongs to the fellow villagers. The excess can be sold to our team in the mountains. We will buy it at the market price. Do you think this will work? "
Yu Chenglong expressed his thoughts. He came to see Monroe this time for the same purpose. He originally planned to force the purchase, but now that the time was right, he proposed it.
"I'm going to talk to my dad about who I'm selling to and not selling to. I think he can agree."
Monroe felt relatively confident. Since her father had already planned to sell the family land, who would it be? Besides, Yu Chenglong's land purchase would be of great use.
"Okay then, you leave tomorrow and I buy it with gold. No Manchuria ticket is needed. The price will depend on the market. After you leave tomorrow, I will go get the gold. I can reach Duanlonggang in three or two days."
Yu Chenglong felt that this was a big event, so he sounded very excited when he spoke. And Monroe was even more happy. She didn't expect that the matter of selling land at home would be settled.
"Why do you have to leave tomorrow? Can't we leave now?"
Monroe still asked questions knowingly. She had not seen Yu Chenglong for three years, so of course she didn't want to leave immediately, and Yu Chenglong certainly didn't want to let Monroe go right away.
"Not now, we are all hungry and need to eat. Besides, since you promised to join the Holy Society, we must have an initiation ceremony and everything must be done according to the rules.
Tomorrow is a good day for doing business. We have to have a good chat tonight and think through all the details, otherwise I'm afraid you will mess up the matter. "
Yu Chenglong smiled and looked at Monroe, with a bad boy-like expression on his face. Monroe looked even more embarrassed, with a blush on her face and thin beads of sweat on the tip of her nose.
"You are still so bad, and I still don't listen to you after all these years."
Monroe took advantage of the situation and fell on Jackie Chan. At this moment, the two of them felt sweet in their hearts. All the worries and fears had turned into smoke, and now they were together for real.
The two separated the next day and went where they wanted to go. Yu Chenglong kept going, he was going to He Laogui's secret contact point to meet his mother and daughter-in-law. After seeing Monroe, Yu Chenglong missed home even more.
