(58) The unexpected troublemaker

  Looking at the six children with a strong English accent, Yang Shuoming's heart was filled with warmth. He looked down at his son in his arms, who seemed to not understand what his father was thinking at that moment. As he gazed up at his father, a cute smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

  Even for the sake of these children's future, it's worth fighting against the Japanese once and for all! Yang Shuoming let out a furious roar in his heart.

  Yang Shuoming watched as Huang Yunzhi walked forward and took the child from his arms. Wanting to ease the atmosphere, he said: "Let's go take a look at the mechanical processing plant. Recently, they've added a new batch of equipment and personnel. Some of the craftsmanship problems that were difficult to deal with before have now been resolved."

  "How dare you say that." Huang Yunzhi smiled slightly, "If you keep spending money like this, don't even think about saving a single penny."

  Yang Shuo Ming caught the hidden meaning in her words and couldn't help but chuckle.

  In order to turn Gannan and its surrounding areas into a new industrial zone with a considerable scale and complete range of industries, Yang Shaoming invested almost all the profits he made into various construction projects in Gannan. At the same time, in order to popularize education, he himself opened two primary schools and six vocational technical schools, all of which were funded by him personally, leaving him often penniless. Fortunately, he had no bad habits such as smoking or drinking, and with Huang Yunzhi's support, he was able to barely maintain the dignity of being a town head.

  Even so, personally speaking, among the various lords in the country, this governor is also one of the more humble ones.

  A group of people arrived at the machinery processing plant, watching machine after machine in operation and skilled workers operating them, Yang Shuoming felt both relieved and a little heartbroken.

  Many of the equipment here were cheaply sourced from second-hand dealers in Fujian and Guangdong provinces, and many of the technical personnel are also workers who have been laid off by foreign factories. In terms of technical level, this factory, which can be described as a big mix, is not comparable to foreign or even some domestic factories, but the products produced are absolutely first-class.

  Using not-so-advanced mechanical equipment to produce advanced products is a secret that ordinary people can't think of.

  None of this would have been possible without the best optimized combination setting of "Super Computer Eye".

  The current scale of this mechanical processing plant is not large, and the products produced are mostly military products, in addition to civilian machinery (such as agricultural machinery using alcohol fuel). However, the change brought by this factory to this land cannot be described in a few words.

  Although Yang Shuo Ming was wearing casual clothes, many workers still recognized him. Because this approachable and humble town guardian often visited the factory and got along with the workers on a daily basis, the workers were very close to him. At this time, many workers saw him and greeted him like an old acquaintance.

  Looking at the workers' kind and friendly faces, Yang Shuo Ming's heart felt especially warm.

  At this time, he knew that the worker's smile was genuine and came from the heart.

  Their own efforts have changed not only their lives but also their destiny.

  Yang Shuo Ming then arrived at the vocational technical school, where students had already been dismissed from class, but for some reason they did not go home and instead gathered on the playground to listen to a handsome young man who looked like a university student standing on the high platform.

  "Fellow students, do you know? Japan has now presented the 'Twenty-One Demands' to our government, forcing it to agree! Fellow students may not be clear what these 'Twenty-One Demands' are all about. I want to tell fellow students that these 'Twenty-One Demands' aim to destroy our China and turn us Chinese into slaves of a subjugated nation!"

  "Japan has always had ambitions towards my China, and this time with the outbreak of the European war, they thought they had a heaven-sent opportunity to brazenly invade our country. First, under the pretext of maintaining peace in East Asia, they bullied us, seized our land, and took away our national rights! When they first attacked Qingdao, they said they would take it back and return it to us, but now that they have taken it, not only do they not return it to us, but they also occupy the entire Shandong Peninsula. Then, they came up with this Twenty-One Demands, which demands our province, certain railways, certain mines, and almost all of China's valuable land! What's even more detestable is that they want to control all of China's financial power, political power, military power, and various other powers in their hands! They also demand that Japanese people can live and do business freely in any province of China. This clearly shows that they want to swallow up our China!"

  "Some of you may say that our Jiangxi is far from Japan and the Japanese can't get here. Comrades, you absolutely must not harbor such a compromising mindset! This 'Twenty-One Demands' specifically mentions that it wants to take control of all the railways in Jiangxi Province! And also the coal mines in Pingxiang! Everyone, tell me, can we agree to this 'Twenty-One Demands'?"

  "No way! No way!" The students on the playground immediately erupted into angry roars.

  Hearing the students' roar, Yang Shuo Ming seemed to feel the blood in his body start to burn as well.

  "Alright, you've actually come all the way here to cause trouble." Huang Yunzhi said suddenly, standing beside Yang Shuoming.

  Yang Shuo Ming turned his head and met her ambiguous gaze.

  "Did you know each other before?" Yang Shuo Ming asked with some curiosity.

  "Not only do I know him, but I'm also very familiar with him." Huang Yunzhi detected a hint of jealousy in Yang Shao Ming's words, as if he was intentionally trying to intensify his suspicious mind. "What, are you going to catch him?"

  "What can be done?" Yang Shuo Ming chuckled and his gaze fell back on the young university student.

  "He's helping me out, I haven't even had a chance to thank him yet."

  After a while, the young man finished his speech and handed out the flyers to the students. Only then did he notice Yang Shao Ming and others staring at him from afar. He felt guilty and wanted to slip away, but when his eyes met Huang Yunzhi holding the child, his whole body shook violently, and then he took off running wildly towards them.

  Xiang knew he would react this way, Huang Yunzhi glanced at Yang Shuoming with a look of surprise on his face, and a hint of a pleased smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

  The young man ran very fast and soon came to the front of Yang Shuo Ming and his party. Liu Zhiyuan and Wang Chaoyong vigilantly took a step forward, their hands resting on their guns.

  The young man didn't notice Liu Zhiyuan and Wang Chaoyong's movements at all, he walked a few steps to Huang Yunzhi's front, looked at the child in Huang Yunzhi's arms, and showed a surprised expression on his face.

  "Sister!" he called out warmly.

  When he heard this, Yang Shuo suddenly understood.

  "Sister! Is this my nephew?" He stepped forward and gently pinched the child's small hand, asking excitedly.

  "You little scamp! You came back without even telling us? Don't you know how worried your parents were about you?" Huang Yunzhi said with a smile, turning her head to look at Yang Shouming. "Come, meet your sister's husband."

  "Brother-in-law. Hehe." The other party smiled awkwardly at Yang Shuo Ming and scratched his head.

  "Which one is it? Is it Sheng Yun or Sheng Xiang?" Yang Shuo Ming asked with a smile.

  "It's Xingyun." The other party smiled and replied.

  The person in front of him was Huang Shi-yao's eldest son, Huang Yun-zhi's half-brother, Huang Sheng-yun.

  "You didn't go home and instead ran here to cause trouble, aren't you afraid of getting caught?" Huang Yunzhi smiled as she sized up her half-brother, "Do you know how worried Mother is about you every day?"

  "The bandits here haven't all been eliminated by Brother Jia, have they?" Huang Xiangyun chuckled again, "The road is much safer now, or I wouldn't be able to come back so quickly."

  It may be because in front of this younger sister, Huang Xingyun was more relaxed, and at this time, he restored the mischievous attitude unique to young people like him, which was completely different from his passionate speech on stage just now.

  "You didn't know, did you? When Father first married me to you, he even sent a letter to Father expressing his strong opposition. He said that Father was feudalistic, forcing the sale and arranging the marriage." Huang Yunzhi spoke seriously to Yang Shouming, then turned her head to glance at Huang Xiangyun, "Just wait for Father to spank your butt when we get back."

  "Who said I was forcing you to buy or sell?" Huang Shengyun's face suddenly turned red, and she glanced at Yang Shuoming's expression. "I wasn't afraid that you would be bullied by your sister? When Father let you marry into the Feng family, I also opposed it."

  "Oh? Why?" Yang Shuo Ming asked with a smile.

  "Between men and women, there should be freedom in marriage and love. How can it be decided by just one word from parents?" Huang Shengyun said, "Husbands and wives don't understand each other at all, some haven't even seen each other's faces, what emotional foundation do they have? How can they spend their whole lives together?"

  When Yang Shuo Ming heard Huang Xing Yun say that, he couldn't help but secretly smile to himself as he thought of the exaggerated words in the letter he had written to his father.

  "But now I don't oppose it." Huang Shengyun looked at Yang Shuo and said seriously.

  "Why don't you object anymore? This is a real arranged marriage after all." Yang Shuoming asked with a smile.

  "I can tell, sister is very happy with you now." Huang Shengyun said, turning her head to look at Huang Yunzhi, "Sister's spirit and complexion are much better than before, and she looks even more beautiful than before."

  After hearing her brother's words, Huang Yunzhi looked at Yang Shao Ming with a hint of a smile, and her face turned slightly red.

  Yang Shuo Ming understood what she meant and smiled awkwardly.

  If it weren't for their overly loving relationship as a couple, their child wouldn't have been born so early.

  "I was in Beijing and didn't plan to come back, but one time I ran into an old acquaintance on campus who told me that things at home had completely changed, so I came back." Huang Shengyun looked at Yang Shaoming with admiration in her eyes, "It's really unexpected, one look and it's shocking, brother-in-law, you're really amazing."
