Zhao Chuanyu was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly.
Yes, my mother is not stupid. How could she not know what the "last trump card" is?!
She is just selfish.
Perhaps after being hit again and again, Zhao Chuanyu has been able to accept the fact that her mother loves no one but herself.
Feeling the selfishness and coldness of his own mother once again, Zhao Chuanyu not only did not feel angry or sad at all, but instead felt like "this is how it should be".
"The people in Zhaojiazhai are all old people who followed your grandfather to conquer the country. There should be no need to say that they are loyal!"
"However, so many years have passed and your grandfather is no longer here. It's hard to say that those people can still remain loyal!"
"When you ask Uncle Jiu to go over and pick someone, be more careful -"
He Tiantian seemed not to notice Zhao Chuanyu's wry smile and continued talking to herself.
Zhao Chuanyu was not too surprised when he suddenly heard that his mother was so "transparent".
When she has accepted the fact that her mother is just selfish, she can accept that her mother is shrewd from time to time.
Alas, listen, even my own mother knows that people’s hearts are fickle.
She is really not stupid and understands everything!
Zhao Chuanyu sighed in his heart for the nth time, and then nodded obediently, "Mom, you are right. Grandpa Jiu and I will pay attention."
Zhaojiazhai was a backup plan left to her by her grandfather, but it was not 100% safe.
After so many years, and without grandpa in charge, those people may not be "slaves and bullies their masters", but they certainly won't easily convince Zhao Chuanyu of a girl.
Fortunately, this time, Zhao Chuanyu is not the only one from Zhaojiazhai. Those people are just a choice, not Zhao Chuanyu's only one.
In this way, Zhao Chuanyu took greater initiative.
"Oh, I just said that casually! You and Uncle Jiu must know more about things outside than I do!"
Seeing Zhao Chuanyu being so obedient, He Tiantian seemed a little embarrassed.
She waved her hand unnaturally, and then continued the topic, "By the way, I want to have a lot of fun when I go to Hong Kong City this time."
"Also, Claude doesn't have enough money to build a hospital -"
Before He Tiantian finished speaking, Zhao Chuanyu was very used to it and took over the conversation with great consideration, "I'll give it!"
Again, as long as it makes my mother happy, it really doesn’t matter how much money she spends!
Besides, it seems that my mother got it right this time.
If it weren't for his own mother who wanted to go to Hong Kong City to play with the handsome foreign boy she liked, Zhao Chuanyu would not have thought of Hong Kong City for a while.
... My mother is not just a hindrance, she still has some effects, right?!
Three days later, Zhao Chuanyu, who was fully prepared, sent his mother and housekeeper Zhao on the ship to the port city.
Zhao Chuanyu has not left, and she still needs to handle the affairs of Fucheng.
Furthermore, even if he moves to Hong Kong City in the future, Zhao Chuanyu will not completely give up on Fucheng.
This is their root, and Zhao Chuanyu, as a native who has not opened God's perspective and does not know the plot, still has illusions about the current situation.
The great China should not be easily bullied by the mere three-island Japanese slaves!
Retreating the Zhao family to Hong Kong City is only the last way for Zhao Chuanyu. She will not leave easily unless it is absolutely necessary.
Fucheng is not only their home, but also the territory that Zhao Chuanyu painstakingly manages.
With so many industries and so many connections, it would be a shame to give them up so easily.
"Chuanyu, I heard that my aunt went to Hong Kong City?"
In school, Yu Er came over to gossip with Zhao Chuanyu.
When mentioning the aunt "Zhao Wenxiu", Yu Er's eyes flashed with sympathy.
Alas, my eldest son is also pitiful. How come he has to deal with such an unreliable biological mother as his aunt?
In the past few months, Zhao Wenxiu has been a "talking figure" in their circle.
Divorcing an adopted son-in-law is history.
The latest gossip is that she keeps changing men.
Moreover, people don’t just play around, they seem to meet “true love” every time.
A person who is thirty years old is considered to be the age of a grandmother in some traditional families.
As a result, she was still like a little girl, opening and closing her mouth to express love.
Not to mention men, there are also some women who secretly envy her but also criticize her a lot.
Unruly women, shameless, willful and frivolous, corrupting the family tradition...
Anyway, there are basically no very positive comments about Zhao Wenxiu.
With such a famous biological mother, one can imagine Zhao Chuanyu's pity and hardship.
Zhao Chuanyu:......
In fact, it's not that pitiful. Compared with the good wife who once "put her husband first", Zhao Chuanyu would rather have her mother be like this.
At least, such a biological mother will not cause trouble to her!
It's just such a big truth, Zhao Chuanyu definitely can't tell outsiders, even his own little followers.
"Yes, my mother heard that Hong Kong City is prosperous and wants to see the world!"
Zhao Chuanyu responded casually, looking very unconcerned.
But Yu Er was still very sympathetic: Tsk, only the boss believes these nonsense from her own mother.
"Zhao Wenxiu" is not going to see the world, he is clearly just taking a foreign pretty face to go out and have fun.
It happened that her eldest son was filial, so she doted on such an unreliable biological mother like a child.
Sometimes, Yu Er really doubts whether the mother and daughter are reversed?
Mom is not like a mother, but like a willful child;
Unlike my daughter, she is an old mother who worries about everything!
As Zhao Chuanyu's good friend and little follower, Yu Er sometimes felt really unfair and aggrieved by Zhao Chuanyu.
Originally, Yu Er wanted to complain about Aunt Zhao, but he was concerned about Zhao Chuanyu's feelings and was afraid that if he said too much, his boss would be embarrassed and sad!
When the words came to his lips, Yu Er swallowed them back and echoed in a sullen voice, "Yes! Hong Kong City is great! Hong Kong City is prosperous! It's good to go and see the world!"
Perhaps the unreliable image of "Zhao Wenxiu" was too deeply rooted in people's hearts. When he heard that she had gone to Hong Kong City, Yu Er didn't think much about it.
He even secretly advised Zhao Chuanyu, "The situation outside is getting more and more chaotic. My dad... what, Chuanyu, you should make more preparations."
Don't believe what the newspapers say.
What oath to live and die with the city?
He even said he would fight to the end!
Although Yu Er didn't care much about his father and brother's decisions, he still occasionally overheard a few words.
My father and brother are already discussing about leading the troops to withdraw from the city. My father also said that they want to go to the magic city or the port city.
The eldest brother wants to keep his troops and horses, and is actively contacting Jinling.
But, so what if Jinling was "recruited", wouldn't Jinling's troops in the capital retreat again and again?
Yu Er didn't understand those military affairs, but he had basic common sense.
No matter what the father and brother choose, they will definitely not be able to defend the city.
Once the ghosts invade all the way south along the railway, no matter how loud the slogans shouted by the warlords, big and small, they will be the first ones to run away.
The Yu family is just a small warlord.
General Yu is a cunning old fox. Over the past ten years, the flags have been changed, and the boss has recognized a lot of them just to make ends meet.
Major General Yu received a new education, and he had some sense of family and country in his heart.
But...we are weak alone.
With tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, it's okay to be a local tyrant, but if you fight against a country, it's nothing more than a dream!
If the city falls, the Yu family can evacuate early, but what about the people in the city?
Yu Er does not have a great sentiment of serving the country and the people, and he cannot even tell the truth to his closest boss.
But Yu Er couldn't bear that Zhao Chuanyu and the Zhao family were buried with him in Fucheng, so he gave a vague reminder.
"Boy, thank you!"
Zhao Chuanyu thanked Yu Er seriously.
Although Yu Er was vague, who was Zhao Chuanyu?
With her intelligence and sensitivity, she was not optimistic about the current situation. Yu Er only needed to remind her with a few words to confirm her guess.
Fortunately, I had a plan in advance!
Fortunately, I have a mother who loves to have fun and enjoy herself!
Zhao Chuanyu once again felt happy in his heart.
Originally she was going to regulate her family's property, but now with Yu Er's reminder, Zhao Chuanyu was able to put it on the record.
The reasons are all ready——
"My mother fell in love with Hong Kong City and doesn't want to come back!"
"I still have to guard the property in Fucheng, so I can't go over and take care of her myself."
"I plan to open a few shops there so that I can have someone to take care of my mother, and I can also make some money."
Zhao Chuanyu didn't mean to blame his own mother for what he said.
This is indeed the case. The few words in the telegram sent back to her by her biological mother revealed that she was "happy and reluctant to miss Shu".
The letter sent back by Butler Zhao was quite detailed: The eldest lady was so fascinated by Claude that she wanted to open a hospital and a pharmaceutical factory for others!
With such a capable biological mother, Zhao Chuanyu would open a new shop for his biological mother even if he did not move his property there.
"Whether you open a hospital or not, treating illnesses and saving people in troubled times is a good thing to gain merit!"
Zhao Chuanyu could only comfort himself in this way.
However, with his biological mother's love and trouble, no one doubted Zhao Chuanyu's plan to relocate.
Everyone sympathized with Zhao Chuanyu. Even the Zhao family's rivals, the Chen family, couldn't help but sigh: Old man Zhao and Zhao Chuanyu were both shrewd, but it was a pity that they had a daughter (mother) who didn't live up to expectations.
The Chen family also began to move, but like Zhao Chuanyu, they still had some illusions about the current situation.
They only transferred part of their property and let their second and third sons go to Hong Kong City, the United States and other places.
The main property, as well as the real heir, still stayed in Fucheng.
Of course, if they knew that the Zhao family had transferred most of their property, they might also be suspicious.
However, Zhao Chuanyu has a biological mother.
I heard that because this "hot-tempered man" was obsessed with a foreign devil, he forced his daughter to build a hospital and open a pharmaceutical factory for his lover, and also donated money to Hong Kong City for the sake of a gentleman's title...
Zhao Chuanyu was so troubled by her own mother that she began to sell off her family's property.
There are even rumors in the market that "Zhao Wenxiu" wants to create another Huo Mingting. For the sake of a man, he doesn't care about his daughter, let alone the factories and shops that the Zhao family has been running for 20 to 30 years.
Rumors were flying everywhere, and Zhao Chuanyu once again became the object of everyone's pity.
It may not look good on the face, but when Zhao Chuanyu moved, it went extremely smoothly.
First, no one suspected it and no commotion was caused, so the Yu family just turned a blind eye.
Secondly, Xu felt that it was really pitiful that a girl of thirteen or fourteen had to clean up the mess for her own mother, and many buyers did not lower the price.
Zhao Chuanyu stared at the sympathetic eyes of countless people, and in just one month, he sold all the factories, fields, shops and other assets that could not be moved.
As for the machines, goods, etc., Zhao Chuanyu also successfully transferred them to the port city.
On this side of Fucheng, there are only a few trading houses and the Zhao family's big house left.
This can be regarded as a backup plan left by Zhao Chuanyu.
If luckily Fucheng can withstand the invasion of ghosts and return to its former stability and prosperity, the Zhao family will still have a place to stay in Fucheng.
The time soon came to November, and General Yu repeatedly shouted in public that he would live or die with the city.
They also collected donations for various purposes time and time again.
Even though Zhao Chuanyu had a close relationship with the Yu family, he was cut off again and again.
"...If these people can really fight to the end, I will be happy to donate all my remaining wealth!"
Zhao Chuanyu is young, but his mind is exceptionally clear.
She also had the ear of Yu Er, so she knew very well that the Yu family was already preparing to evacuate.
Those slogans of General Yu are just deceptive tricks.
And all kinds of purposeful donations are the last bit of money that the Yu family wants to squeeze out of the wealthy businessmen in Fucheng.
Unfortunately, many people still have illusions about them.
There is some truth in their thinking: Fucheng is the territory of the Yu family and can be considered their home.
If even the family is lost, wouldn’t the Yu family become a bereaved dog?
Even if it is for themselves, the Yu family will fight to the death!
However, they have forgotten that there is another saying: "If you keep the green hills, you will not have to worry about having no firewood."
For old warlords like the Yu family, their territory has been lost. As long as their troops and horses are still there, they have a chance to make a comeback.
If your life is gone, then nothing is lost!
However, Zhao Chuanyu probably won’t be able to see it.
Before the ghosts besieged Fucheng, Zhao Chuanyu quietly escaped from Fucheng with his men and headed all the way towards Hong Kong City.
Not long after she left, the Yu family also left Fucheng after burning many key buildings in the city.
Although they ran fast, the Yu family's soldiers and horses still suffered great losses.
Fortunately, the family is still intact, and all the property looted over the years has been saved.
In the end, General Yu simply took his few remaining men and his family to the Magic City, hid in the concession, and became a so-called "apartment man."
"I wonder how the boss is doing?"
On the day he left Fucheng, looking at the city surrounded by ghosts, Yu Er felt very concerned.
"Don't worry, that girl from the Zhao family is haunted!"
Major General Yu looked solemn. As a soldier who had received a new-style military school education, it would definitely be a great humiliation for him to escape from the battlefield or something like that.
But, after all, he is only a major general, not a general.
Although he has some prestige among the Yu family army, it is his biological father who makes the final decision.
However, after this experience, General Yu completely woke up and planned to go to Fog City to join his old classmates.
I dare not say that I will save the country or my life, but I am worthy of the weapon I hold in my hand...
