Uncle Zhao looked at Su Zhenze's high-spirited appearance. It was hard to imagine that these words were said by his own young master. In the Republic of China, where the hierarchy was very strict, who among the rich children could bow to ordinary farmers?
However, Uncle Zhao did not think too much about it. He only felt that the young master had changed too much after he went out and came back. His horizons were not something that an old man like him could compare to!
At the same time, he had a premonition that the young master was definitely going to do something big this time!
Thinking of this, Uncle Zhao shook his head slightly and sighed. He was old. Let the young people meddle in their own affairs.
"Young Master, let's go back!"
In the end, Uncle Zhao did not ask. Instead, he urged Su Zhenze again. After Su Zhenze nodded, he turned around and led Su Zhenze and the rest of the waiters to the Su family's house.
At first glance, a very ancient and historical house stood in front of him. The tall walls had a unique traditional style of decoration, making Su Zhenze sigh that this was really worthy of being a famous rich family.
But now that it was his home, Su Zhenze was very happy because the bigger the Su family, the higher the possibility of his plan succeeding.
Entering the courtyard, Su Zhenze saw a woman in her forties sitting in the high hall. Su Zhenze knew that this was his mother, Zhang shi.
"Greetings, mother. I haven't been filial by your side for so many years, and I've even made you worry about me. Please punish me, mother ~"
Su Zhenze's words were not pretentious, but sincere. Although Su Zhenze had left the country not long after he transmigrated, his mother had cared for him a lot during this period and after he had gone abroad. There had been a lot of letters in the past few years.
At the same time, she was afraid that she would not have enough money, so Zhang shi also gave her a lot of pocket money. His mother had never mistreated him in any way, so Su Zhenze had long accepted his mother, Zhang shi, in his heart.
"You've lost weight after being outside for a few years, and you've become much stronger. Sigh, why are you still punishing me? It's good to be back.”
His mother, Zhang Shi, pulled Su Zhenze over and let him sit beside her. She carefully looked at him for a while before saying.
"Ze 'er, you're not leaving this time, right?”
His mother, Zhang Shi, looked at Su Zhenze expectantly and asked.
" Yes, Mother. Zhenze won't be leaving this time. He's going to do some things in our Su Residence."
Su Zhenze looked at his mother's expectant face and felt a little guilty. In this era, letting a woman take charge of the house alone for a few years was simply challenging the secular view of a traditional woman. Su Zhenze buried his guilt deep in his heart and took a deep breath to answer.
"That's good. Ze 'er, this family business will be handed over to you sooner or later. It just so happens that you're back. In the future, you can learn to manage the business from Old Zhao. Also, our Su family is thin. You're the only seedling left in this generation.”
"Ze 'er, don't worry. I know you're someone who has seen the world and have high standards, but I'll definitely find you a wife of equal status!”
When Zhang shi heard her son say this, she was also very gratified. She thought to herself that her son was also a person who had made a living outside, so he could also be considerate. However, it was better for him to let his child start a family as soon as possible. After he married a wife, his temperament had also settled down. He was still waiting for his grandson!
When Uncle Zhao heard Zhang shi's words, his face revealed a matter-of-fact expression. It was a good thing that the young master was willing to inherit the family business. The young master who had run away from home back then had finally become sensible. Previously, he had thought that the young master had become much more sensible after returning. Now, it seemed that it was indeed the case.
" Don't worry, Madam. I know what to do."
Uncle Zhao replied respectfully to the true ruler of the Su family, Zhang shi. His words did not hide the fact that his power had been reduced.
"Okay, that's good."
Zhang shi nodded noncommittally.
"Wait a minute, Mother. Zhenze still has something to say."
When Su Zhenze heard that Zhang shi wanted him to learn how to manage the family business and start a family, but this was not the main purpose of his return, he immediately interrupted.
"Oh, Ze 'er, what do you want to say?”Zhang shi immediately asked.
"Mother, it's not like I didn't bring anything back from abroad this time. Uncle Zhao, aren't you curious about what's in the box I brought back? It's the 20 plus guns that I brought back from abroad through my connections!”
"What is it? Gun?"
Uncle Zhao was a little surprised, but he immediately calmed down. Because there were many bandits in this era, many rich families had dozens of guns to guard their homes.
"Young Master, why did you bring so many guns back? Besides, the Smiths have 20 to 30 guns.”
Uncle Zhao looked at Su Zhenze in surprise. Even Mrs. Zhang, who was beside him, looked at her son who had completely changed after returning from abroad with curiosity.
"Uncle Zhao, the gun I brought back looks different from the local guns at home. Not only will it not explode or misfire, it's even much better than the guns that the warlords around here only know how to scare ordinary people!”
Su Zhenze could hear Uncle Zhao's disapproval and explained to them mysteriously.
"What?"
Uncle Zhao was a little shocked when he heard Su Zhenze's words. His family knew about his family's matters. Uncle Zhao also knew that the Su family's twenty or so guns were self-made and not very powerful. It was just that no one would dare to have any ideas about their family.
However, the warlords nearby had real guns in their hands. They were not like the local guns in their own hands. They were like a skeleton with a bullet. However, their young master said that the gun in his hand was stronger than the one in the hands of the warlords. Although he was a little skeptical, he believed it when he saw the confidence in his young master's eyes.
Su Zhenze ignored Uncle Zhao's shock and continued,
"I came back today to borrow the land in the Su family residence from you. Also, there are bandits everywhere now. In order to protect the Su family residence, I want to recruit 30 young adults in the village to form a self-defense force."
"Borrow land? Self-Defense Force?"
Zhang shi pondered for a moment and muttered.
After thinking about it, she felt that Su Zhenze's two suggestions were not bad. Indeed, there were bandits everywhere now, and it was not very peaceful outside. If the twenty guns that her son had brought back were so good, then it would definitely be much safer than relying on homemade guns to protect the Su family.
As for borrowing land, Zhang shi didn't understand why he wanted to borrow land, but from the beginning until now, Zhang shi understood that her son had really grown up and was no longer a person who liked to mess around. After thinking about it, Su Zhenze would be the head of the Su family in the future anyway, so she might as well let him be.
"Alright, I think this matter of the Self-Defense Forces is fine. Ze 'er, you've grown up, so you can do it yourself. As for borrowing land, you can take whichever land you like!”
"No, mother, when I said I'm borrowing land, I'm borrowing the entire village's land!”
"Wha…what?"
Uncle Zhao, who was at the side, looked at Su Zhenze in shock when he heard Su Zhenze's arrogant tone. Even his mother, Zhang Shi, stared at Su Zhenze with a solemn expression. If Su Zhenze did not say anything, the two of them would definitely not agree to Su Zhenze's childish behavior.
Faced with the doubts of his mother and Uncle Zhao, Su Zhenze's expression was no longer as relaxed as before. Instead, he showed a solemn expression and slowly said in a deep voice.
"Mother, Uncle Zhao, you've been with the Su family for so long, so you know how the villagers live. These few years, the warlord government has increased taxes everywhere, and in the end, it's all on the ordinary people."
Uncle Zhao wanted to say something but was stopped by Su Zhenze.
"Uncle Zhao, I know what you want to say. You told me before that our Su Manor is now reducing the rent and interest of these farmers. Perhaps their lives here are better, but what about other places? What about Jiangxi Province or all of China? I see that all the people at the bottom of the society have a hard time. Uncle Zhao, you also came from a poor family. I think you know that too."
Su Zhenze said with a sorrowful and passionate expression. Uncle Zhao, who was at the side, also had a bitter expression on his face. It was obvious that he was thinking about the poor days in the past.
Su Zhenze said seriously.
"Mother, Uncle Zhao, the main purpose of my return this time is to change this cannibal society, so I want to start with our Su family. The annual rent of these lands is not as much as the profits of our shops outside. Moreover, these lands were originally bought and sold by our ancestors. I want to return all these lands to those who support me."
After saying that, he bowed solemnly to the two of them.
Uncle Zhao and his mother, Zhang Shi, were already stunned. They did not expect Su Zhenze to have such ambition after going out to make a living. However, when they heard Su Zhenze's request, they looked at each other and were at a loss. After all, if they supported him, they would be cutting off their own flesh to support Su Zhenze.
However, when they saw Su Zhenze's solemn expression, the two of them secretly discussed for a while. Zhang shi and Uncle Zhao thought that Su Zhenze had gone out to see the world. Since he had returned and wanted to do something big, they could not drag him down. Instead, they should support him.
In the end, the two current heads of the Su family agreed to Su Zhenze's request and tacitly agreed to his future actions. At the same time, Su Zhenze promised to return the two of them ten times or a hundred times the land in the future.
