"Greetings, mother!" In the hall, Li Donghan greeted a middle-aged woman above him. This was his current mother.
The Li family had a lot of money, and she had been worshipping Buddha all year round, so she had a calm mind. Therefore, she looked relatively young, and she had the aura of an official.
After seeing Li Donghan, Madam Li Yang was also very happy. After all, Li Donghan had not returned home for more than a month. He stayed in the military camp all day. Although there were servants in the huge Li residence, how could they compare to her own son?
She walked up quickly and gently held Li Donghan's hand.""Quickly let mother take a look. You've become tanned and thinner. It must be because you can't eat or sleep well in the military camp. Mother knows that my son has great ambitions, but don't mistreat your own body!”
Li Donghan did not feel impatient at all as he listened to Madam Lee's nagging. Instead, this feeling touched him. Other than his parents, no one would treat you sincerely.
Li Donghan's father had died of illness many years ago, and Madam Li had raised him alone. After that, he had entered the army academy and studied abroad in Delizhi. After returning to China, he had spent less time together and more time apart.
Although he felt a little distant from his mother, the kinship in his blood could not be severed!
After coming to this world, Li Donghan had thought about scheming and scheming the most. He did not dare to relax for a moment, but with Li Yang, Li Donghan could feel the long-lost peace.
The mother and son talked a lot when they met. Most of the time, it was Madam Li who spoke, and Li Donghan listened. She had been asking him to take good care of himself, and Li Donghan had a lot more recognition for his mother.
In a short while, the two of them talked about Li Donghan's marriage. From Li Yangshi's point of view, she did not know anything about Li Donghan's career, and Li Donghan was also a good person, so she did not have to worry about him.
However, marriage was the most important thing. Only then could the Li family carry on the family line! The entire Lee family could be considered flourishing. Mr. Lee had four brothers, but he only had one son, Li Donghan.
Madam Li Yang couldn't help but be anxious!
"A few days ago, the young lady of the Gu family also came back. I went to take a look. She's beautiful and came back from overseas. She's a perfect match for my son.”
"This marriage was also set by your father back then. If there's nothing serious, mother will go again in two days and set the date. You're not young anymore, it's time to get married!”
Li Yang said earnestly. Li Donghan's marriage had put a lot of effort into her. He was already twenty-four years old. If he was in someone else's house, the child would not be young anymore.
But in the past, Li Donghan did not have time to study abroad. It was not easy for him to return! The young lady of the Gu family had also gone to study abroad. Now that the two of them were back, Mrs. Li Yang had to settle the marriage no matter what.
When Li Donghan heard this, he could only smile bitterly. He had been staying in the military camp all this time, and his mind was placed elsewhere. He did not know that the Gu family's young lady had actually returned.
Since that was the case, Li Donghan did not have any objections. Instead, he wanted to go to the Gu family in two days to see his fiancée personally and see if she was as beautiful as they said.
After all, he still had some doubts about the aesthetic standards of people in this era. If it really did not suit his taste, he would definitely not force himself.
"Alright! His son was going to visit Uncle Gu in two days, but he hoped to postpone the wedding. There were too many military matters recently, so it would be best if it could be next year!”Li Donghan said to Li Yangshi.
He had his own considerations. The uprising in Jiang City was about to break out. At this time, Li Donghan could not care about the marriage, and the situation would not be calm for the next few months.
Li Donghan would probably be busy until next year.
Hearing Li Donghan's determination, Madam Lee seemed a little unhappy. According to her, the earlier the marriage, the better. However, she also knew that Li Donghan was indeed very busy.
After all, the man had to put his career first, so he could only say,"We'll do as my son says, but we can't delay any longer!”
"It won't!" Li Donghan said softly. After that period of time, things would calm down, and Li Donghan would be able to make some time.
After the two of them finished lunch, Madam Lee also went to take a nap. Meanwhile, Li Donghan called his butler over.
The butler's name was Li Hongfu. He was a servant who had grown up with Li Donghan's father, just like the relationship between Li Donghan and Li Yi!
Now that he was fifty years old, he was not only managing the affairs of the residence, but also worrying about some of the Li family's assets outside.
Just like the restaurants, shops, and farms that the Li family originally had, as well as the spinning factories, fire factories, and cement factories that Li Donghan had established after returning to the country!
Li Donghan was busy with military affairs. Although he had hired a professional manager to manage these matters, he would report to Li Hongfu and then to Li Donghan.
"Uncle Blessing, how much water do we still have at home?”Li Donghan asked. Although he had a great chance of becoming the 49th Association Chief, his age and qualifications were a cause for criticism.
The current governor of Guangdong and Guangxi was Zhang Mingqi, who did not take care of him as well as Zhang Renjun. In fact, Li Donghan had a very bad impression of Zhang Mingqi.
This was because in the original time and space, after the July 7 Incident, Zhang Mingqi became a traitor and used his influence to establish an organization. Even when Japan was about to fail, he hysterically donated money for Japan to help them continue fighting.
He was so shameless that Li Donghan even had the urge to kill him. However, he was still the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi. Li Donghan still had to hide his thoughts. He would have a good time in two months.
As for General Feng Shan of the City of Flowers, there was no need to talk about him. These Manchu people looked down on the Han people! Only Navy Admiral Li Zhun had some relationship with Li Donghan's father, and he was Zhang Renjun's trusted general.
He took good care of Li Donghan. However, Li Zhun only had some right to make suggestions on this matter. The ones who really made the decision were Zhang Mingqi and Fengshan.
Therefore, Li Donghan could only pinch his nose and bribe them. He had to get the position of the 49th Association Chief first!
After the uprising in Jiang City, Li Donghan would not let them off either. When the time came, he would confiscate their property and get their money back!
With that thought, Li Donghan felt a little more comfortable. He did not feel any pressure or psychological burden when it came to people like him who would burn bridges after crossing them.
In a chaotic world, money was just a worldly possession. Only military power was everything!
