"Take a zero and I'll donate five hundred." Gao Jueming said hopefully.
"Okay, that's what you said. Then everyone will contribute one-tenth. As for not being Japanese enough, let your son explain it to his master." Grandpa said coldly.
"No, it's me..." Before he could finish his words, Grandpa slammed his crutch on the table and shouted: "You were the most cheerful person at the meeting, but now you are doing this again."
"I really can't take it out!" Gao Jueming replied with a sad face.
"Cash money may not be enough, but you can use grain to top it off. Who knows you have hoarded a lot of grain." Grandpa said, "You can still get this amount."
"But now I can't sell the food for a while." Gao Jueming still wanted to plead.
But grandpa said coldly: "I can accommodate you and bring all the food from your family. I will buy it at the market price. As for the money, you can take care of it yourself. If I am delayed because of you, then it is up to you."
Let’s go to the Japanese and explain.”
"How dare I do this!"
"You can let your precious son go. I heard that he works very hard and is very powerful there. This way everyone will benefit," Grandpa said.
"That's not okay." Gao replied immediately.
"Then why are you telling me all this nonsense?" Grandpa said angrily: "Okay, I'm tired. Remember, it won't be enough to donate less than three days later!" Grandpa said as he motioned to his servants to see off the guests, Gao's intestines were filled with tears.
I regretted it, but I couldn't turn back now, so I had to go back and prepare quickly.
After the man surnamed Gao left, Su Yuan came to his grandfather. He already knew the whole thing. He said to his grandfather: "Grandpa, you are so amazing. I actually acted like a traitor and raised so much money and food."
"Hmph, if it were explained that the donation to the anti-Japanese team would be even more." Grandpa replied: "As for the guy named Gao, it's not easy to play tricks on him."
"Yes, Grandpa, you are donating this to the Anti-Japanese Army." Su Yuan responded.
"I would also like to remind you about this. I only listened to your idea to serve as the pseudo-township chief, and I also raised so much money and food. You said there was a way to get it. If you mess up, you will not be able to do it by then.
It's my fault for not recognizing you." Grandpa reminded solemnly.
"Grandpa, you leave the thing in the village and let the Japanese pick it up. I will rob it on the way, and everyone will be happy." Su Yuan said confidently.
"But I see that there are only ten of you, and not many of them can fight." Grandpa was not reassured by Su Yuan's promise. He reminded: "What if all the Japanese and puppet troops from last time come? If that doesn't work,
I told grandpa earlier that no matter how hard I try, I can't let the Japanese take away a copper or a grain of grain from me!"
"Grandpa, you underestimate your grandson." Su Yuan replied: "Twenty or thirty Japs are not our problem. As for the puppet army, they are a ragtag group of people."
Although Su Yuan sounded confident, grandpa was still a little worried. After all, this was not a trivial matter. If something went wrong, his reputation and that of the surrounding gentry would be ruined, and he would also provide help to the Japanese. That would never be possible.
He started to have other plans in mind.
Su Yuan knew that this matter was of great importance. If this battle was fought successfully, it would not only create an impact in his hometown, but also regain the money and food, which would make future development much more convenient and smooth.
In order to be absolutely sure, Su Yuan ordered all members of the guerrilla detachment to prepare for battle, and also sent Shan Zi to Xicheng Town, which was occupied by the Japanese near here, to find out the enemy's situation.
It seemed that Shan Zi was not familiar with how to inquire about information. It took him two full days to hear the latest information about the Japs, but Su Yuan was already impatient with the waiting.
As soon as Shan Zi came back, Su Yuan immediately asked him. Shan Zi's first words shocked Su Yuan.
"Master, I have figured out the situation in Ancheng and Xicheng." Shanzi said as if he had done something good: "There is a company of Japanese and more than a thousand puppet troops in Ancheng, and there is a small team of Japanese and hundreds of puppets in Xicheng."
A soldier."
"What, a Japs unit!" Su Yuan was shocked when he heard this. This was very different from what he had heard. He immediately asked: "Are you mistaken?"
