The Zhang Family Courtyard is also a high-level courtyard and is heavily guarded.

If you want to find a house in Wangcun that can rival the Wang Courtyard in terms of momentum, it would be the Zhang Family Courtyard;

From the words of Wang Bodao:

"For hundreds of years, the Zhang family has been imitating and catching up, but they have never surpassed it!"

Of course, Zhang Shijie would not admit this. In his opinion, the Wang family was nothing but a pedantic empty frame, just like Wang Bodao's body that needed help when walking, which had long since dried up like an empty shell.

"Wang Bodao is old, the prince is as tender as a baby, and the Wang family has lost the backbone of a big family!"

Zhang Shijie said leisurely that if the Eighth Route Army hadn't come over, the Wang family's strength would not have been exposed so quickly.

Zhang Wenlong, the eldest son of Zhang, was the first to stand up and echoed:

"Dad, the Eighth Route Army formed a militia group in Wang Village this time. Mr. Wang seems to have lost control of the children surnamed Wang. Almost all of the people who went there were children surnamed Wang. Except for the main branch of the Wang family, there were also children from the side branches participating.

Not even three servers have been released!

Unlike our Zhang family, my father didn’t nod. Not to mention the children within the fifth server, even those who couldn’t reach eight poles from far away, few dared to go;

With Zhang Laojiu, the chairman of the maintenance committee, there are only a dozen people named Zhang who go to work on the counter. They are all second-rate people who are too poor to take the blame. They probably go to Eighth Road to earn a living."

The second oldest Zhang Wenhu also stood up and said:

"Dad, the Eighth Route Army soldier named Gao said he would ban illicit salt in the entire town. This would not only cut off our Zhang family's financial path, but also dig up our roots. There is no room for relaxation between the Zhang family and them!

The Yuci area is the territory of the Japanese. They are far more powerful than the Eighth Route Army. Even the whole of China is no match for them;

You have never studied abroad on the island. They are already recognized as a great power in the world. Their strength cannot be compared with that of China. Fighting against them by China and the Eighth Route Army is tantamount to hurling an egg at a stone!

Sooner or later, they will fight back to Wangcun. They will rely on the broken guns of the Eighth Route Army and the mud legs of a group of peasants to fight against the powerful imperial army——"

"Second brother, put away that slave act of yours, the devil is not a thing, I don't want to serve anyone!"

"father!"

Zhang Wenhu wanted to argue a few words, but Zhang Shijie stopped him with his hand and said in a disgraceful tone:

"Second brother, I now regret sending you to study on the Japanese island. You didn't learn anything good, but you learned the face of a slave. If you dare to be a traitor, don't even enter the ancestral graves of the old Zhang family!

Our grievances with the Eighth Route Army are all about the Eighth Route Army, and those dwarfs, the Major General, are involved."

"Boss, since Gao has already spoken out, please restrain yourself during this time and don't let them catch you. If Gao doesn't wink and insists on getting into trouble with our Zhang family, we'll fight him if he needs to."

The barrel of the gun is not a fire stick!

We have the seal of the government, so we don’t need to be afraid of the Eighth Route Army."

Zhang Shijie's words set the tone for the Zhang family's struggle, that is, if the Eighth Route Army does not touch the Zhang family's personal secrets, he will be at peace with the Eighth Route Army. If he dares to touch their personal secrets, then you are welcome!

The old Zhang family is not afraid of the hundreds of guns in Wangcun. The Eighth Route Army has backers, and so does he.

After dark, Wang Xiangxiang returned home majestically with a box cannon slung across her body and an armed belt;

The day's training had just ended, and in the evening she had to organize a meeting for activists from the Women's Rescue Society. Since the Eighth Route Army came to Wangcun, she had long forgotten about the engagement and was focused on starting a revolution.

The big black braids that had lasted for more than ten years were all cut off by her scissors!

"Vanilla, you are going to turn the world upside down. A girl comes from a family and hangs out with a group of foreign men all day long. You are not afraid of the Zhang family poking the backbone of our Wang family!"

As soon as Vanilla entered the door, her mother caught her and scolded her in various ways.

"Mom, what's wrong with the foreigners? They are the Eighth Route Army. Why didn't you say anything when the Eighth Route Army was doing well? We are training for the important task of fighting Japanese invaders. Don't hold us back!"

Vanilla picked out the Eighth Route Army, so Vanilla didn't dare to complain. In Wangcun, anyone who goes against the big things that the Eighth Route Army is going to do will be looked down upon by everyone. Who doesn't know that Mr. Wang has reduced the rent to 50% of the price?

It was because the Eighth Route Army put in good words, and the fellow villagers in Wangcun all took the initiative.

Having a full stomach and not starving to death has a greater sense of friendship than heaven!

The Chinese people are so simple and honest, not to mention that they are now being led to fight against the Japanese.

"Vanilla, you damn girl, why did you cut off your braids? Oh my god, how can you get married?

Don't worry about it, old man!

This damn girl is going to be turned upside down!"

Vanilla Daddy was pretending to be dumbfounded and pretended not to hear;

He had a daughter when he was old, and he was very rare to have a daughter like Vanilla. He had never been willing to scold her since he was a child.

He also felt that Vanilla had been in a bit of trouble these past few days, including joining the militia, but he couldn't bear to scold her, and he couldn't afford to offend the old lady, so he could only shrink back and act like an ostrich.

It was a good thing that Vanilla Lady didn't mention the marriage, but she got angry when she heard about it and said angrily:

"Mom, don't mention the marriage. I can't afford to disgrace that man. A militia company was established in Wang Village. Zhang Fugui stayed at home and didn't even dare to sign up. Eight or ninety men in our village have joined the militia. How good is he?

, not even comparable to the girl’s family in the village;

I, Wang Xiangxiang, should marry a man who is as upright as Brother Gao. I will not marry a man who will only stay at home and be a coward when the devil comes!

Unless Zhang Fugui stands up and fights the Japanese like a man, I will not recognize this marriage!"

Vanilla Lady was so anxious that she was about to come out and block her mouth with her hands. Where would the Wang family's face be if this spread!

She was about to block it, but when she saw the box cannon on Vanilla, she was so frightened that she retracted her hand;

This girl is now the director of the village women's rescue association and is in charge of all the women in the village, including her.

"Old man, don't you care about this damn girl like you? She's really going to change the world!"

Vanilla's father, Wang Bangtou, also felt that this girl was a bit outrageous. How could she say this when she had already paid the bride price? It would not be good for the Zhang family to hear her.

"Fuck you, don't dare to talk nonsense about getting married. If you want to fight the Japanese, you can fight. If the rich and powerful don't want to go, don't go. Then Comrade Gao also said it, voluntarily, voluntarily!"

"Dad, why are you lagging behind like mother? Brother Gao said, everyone is responsible for fighting the Japanese!"

Whenever he joined the militia company to fight the Japanese, I would join him;

He's going to die fighting the Japanese, and I'm going to support his parents until they die, and he's going to be a coward like this and there's no chance of getting married!"

"Bah, bah, bah..."

"You damn girl can't say a good word out of your mouth!"

"Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, just think of this little girl like Vanilla, who is talking nonsense, a bad spirit that doesn't work and a good spirit;

Guanshiyin Bodhisattva bless our family's vanilla, wealth and peace..."

"Mom, please stop chanting and light up the lights at home. Our Women's Rescue Association will have a meeting soon!"

Vanilla Lady stopped reciting the sutra as soon as she heard it, and said with a painful tone:

"We have another meeting. If it continues like this, we can't even afford lamp oil. Can't you just turn on the lamp without lighting it?"

"Dad, look what my mother said, you are so backward and you don't care about her!"

Wang Langtou couldn't afford to offend the old lady, so he continued to pretend not to hear. It was too difficult to be caught in the middle.
