Some of Lu's factories were relocated to Hong Kong, but some remained in Guangzhou, and most of these factories and shops were in a state of semi-shutdown.

A week later, Kazuo Yamada, Li Youtang, and Feng Lianfa came to visit again.

Uncle Yao hurriedly ran to report: "Master, the people who came last time are here again." ”

"Nope. And thou shalt tell them, I am sick, and I will not see any visitors. ”

Before Uncle Yao could reply, the three of them came in talking to themselves.

"Uncle Yao, why can't you even look at the door now, is the door lock broken, hurry up and buy a new one. The door of my Lu Mansion, can anyone enter if they want to? ”

"Sir, I see."

"Brother Lu, don't be angry, aren't we afraid that you will give us a closed door, so we trespassed without permission, and invited Brother Lu Haihan." Feng Lianfa hurriedly made a move and played a round.

"Are you here to maintain the president of the council last time? I've already said it, please ask for another master, I'm not up to the task. ”

"Please consider this matter carefully." Li Youtang smiled and said to Lu Yixiang: "We are here today, and there is one more thing I want to talk to Brother Lu." ”

Lu Yixiang was silent, picked up the purple sand teapot and took a sip.

"Mr. Lu, we, Yamada Co., Ltd., want to buy the Hongfu Canning Factory under the name of the Lu Group." Yamada was straight to the point and straightforward.

"Brother Lu, this is a good deal, your canning factory is now suspended, the workers have gone home, it's useless for you to be idle there, Mr. Yamada is willing to buy your canning factory with 200,000 fiat currency." Li Youtang beat a side drum on the side.

"200,000 fiat dollars to buy my cannery?" Lu Yixiang sneered: "Brother Li, do you think that I am you, and I am willing to sell all my ancestral property to the Japanese, and then change it to a Japanese black gauze hat?" ”

"Brother Lu, what you said is too unpleasant, what is it called selling ancestral property cheaply? I am doing my part for the goodwill between Japan and China. ”

"I'll send you eight words: sell your ancestors for glory, Tian is shameless."

"Lu Yixiang, you don't know what to do. You don't have to be the president of the Chamber of Commerce to be arrogant, now it is the world of the Japanese, and if you don't cooperate like this, you will definitely not have good fruit to eat. When Li Youtang heard these eight words, he jumped like thunder.

"I don't want to be a good person, I just want to be an upright Chinese."

"Mr. Lu, I am very dissatisfied with your attitude today, you have to sign this contract, and you have to sign it if you don't sign it." Kazuo Yamada put a contract in front of Lu Yulin.

"Bright robbery, huh? Let me tell you, Little Japan, as long as I have someone left in Lu, this cannery will be surnamed Lu, not Yamada. Lu Yixiang tore the contract to shreds and threw it into the air.

Yamada gritted his teeth in anger: "You wait, I'll let you know what the consequences will be if you go against our Great Japan." Walk. ”

Lu Yixiang slammed the purple clay pot in his hand to the ground.

The next day, the Japanese gendarmerie came to the Hongfu canning factory and put a seal at the gate.

"What? The canneries were seized? Lu Yixiang received a call from Yu Ting and was very shocked: "Have you asked what the reason is?" ”

"I heard that it was because it had funded the anti-Japanese resistance before, so it was going to be seized."

"If you want to add to the crime, there is no excuse, I will go to the gendarmerie to ask the truth."

"Uncle, you can't reason with these robbers. I don't think you'd better go. ”

"Then I can't let our Lu family's property fall into the hands of the Japanese."

"Uncle, you must not be impulsive, my father is gone, you can't have any more accidents."

"Yu Ting, don't worry, I'll be fine."

Lu Yixiang put down the phone, and after calming down for a while, he called Uncle Yao to come and whispered a few times to him, Uncle Yao nodded and went out.

Lu Yixiang called Ah Cheng over: "Ah Cheng, drive me to the cannery." ”

Ah Cheng sent Lu Yixiang to the cannery, at the gate of the factory, two seals of the Guangzhou Military Police Headquarters were in front of him, Lu Yixiang walked over, tore off the seal without hesitation, and pushed the door in.

After a while, Uncle Yao also came over and brought several large bags of grain and a large cauldron.

"Come, put the pot in the yard and go find some firewood, Ah Cheng, you go to the street and call all the refugees over, I, Lu Yixiang, will give soup to the people from today on."

Soon, refugees poured into the Hongfu Canning Factory like a tide, and Lu Yixiang personally served porridge to each refugee.

"Be careful, slow down, it's all there, don't worry." Lu Yixiang said while scooping.

"Thank you, Master Lu, you are such a good person."

"Thank you, Lu Dashan."

"Thank you, the Bodhisattva will bless you."

"Amitabha, thank you, thank you."

Some refugees were speechless for Lu Yixiang's kindness, and directly kowtowed to thank him. The queues of refugees grew longer and longer, stretching for miles.

Suddenly, the sound of motorcycles was heard, and a group of Japanese military police broke into the cannery. Several Japanese soldiers surrounded Lu Yixiang.

A Japanese officer stood in front of Lu Yixiang: "You, disturb social order, take it away." ”

Uncle Yao stood in front of Lu Yixiang: "You can't take the master away." ”

"Eight squares." The officer waved his hand and slapped Uncle Yao back, and Uncle Yao was knocked to the ground.

Lu Yixiang hurriedly helped Uncle Yao up from the ground: "I opened a warehouse in my own factory to release grain and help refugees, what is the crime?" ”

"If you tear off the seal of the gendarmerie without authorization, you are resisting the law."

"Why are you seizing my factory?"

"Your cannery used to fund the anti-Japanese forces, so we must close it down."

"Isn't it absurd that I have not received a verdict from the court, and that I can be convicted by your wanton fabrication? According to you, my canned food was exported to you Japan in the past, so wouldn't I have become a contributor to you Japanese? ”

The officer was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to do. And the surrounding refugees gathered more and more, and surrounded the Japanese military police regiment. Seeing that the situation was not good, the Japanese officers hurriedly called on the gendarmes to retreat.

Watching the Japanese devil walk away, Lu Yixiang felt an unprecedented increase in his eyebrows.

"Everyone line up, Uncle Yao, let's continue to give porridge."

Lu Yuting felt that the situation was serious, and hurriedly sent a telegram to Lu Yulin, telling him that his father was in trouble. After receiving the report, Lu Yulin returned to Guangzhou from Hong Kong overnight.

"Dad, are you alright?" As soon as Lu Yulin entered the door, he hurriedly walked into his father's house.

"Lin'er, why are you back, how are your mother and Shuxian?"

"They're fine now, but they're concerned about you."

"I'm fine, go back and tell your mom and tell them not to worry about me."

"I heard Brother Yuting say that you were almost caught in the Japanese gendarmerie today."

"It's not that I didn't succeed, they think that the Chinese are easy to scare, I am not afraid of any gendarmerie or not gendarmerie, I don't believe it, what can they do with me."

"Dad, you'd better be careful. Let's not go head-on with the Japanese. ”

"A manly man should stand up to the sky, why should he live in fear? Lin'er, you weren't so forward-looking before, where is your blood? ”

"Dad, we should pay attention to the strategy of the enemy, we can't fight hard, we must retain the vitality and fight a protracted war with the devil."

"Then according to you, should I give the cannee to the Japanese, and then become the president of the maintenance association and be a traitor?"

"Dad, you know I didn't mean that."

"Under the nest, Ann has finished eggs? The entire city of Guangzhou has been looted, how can our Lu's industry be alone? It's just that I just let all the Lu family's industry be destroyed in my own hands, and I can't let it fall into the hands of the Japanese. ”

Everyone knows that there is a Hongfu canning factory in the east of the city, and there are people in the factory who specialize in giving porridge to refugees, so there is always a lot of water around the cannery, and a large number of refugees come to beg for a bowl of hot porridge to drink, and some even squat here, live in the factory, workshop, office, warehouse, and even the corridor outside the toilet are covered with straw mats, and Hongfu canning factory has become a refuge for refugees. In this way, Kazuo Yamada's desire to force the purchase of a cannefactory was frustrated. However, the Guangzhou Municipal Office felt that it was better for a large number of refugees to have a place to go than to be left behind, stealing, robbing, and causing trouble, and that social order could be relatively stable, so it just let it go.

Lu Yixiang's non-violent and non-cooperative attitude really gave the puppet government a headache, because Lu Yixiang's influence in the Guangzhou Chamber of Commerce was very important, and the reputation of "Lu Dashanren" was well known to women and children in the whole city of Guangzhou, which made the Japanese and traitors feel that this person could not be used by me and become a banner of friendship between Japan and China, and he could not easily get rid of him.

It seems that Lu Yixiang can only be given up as the president of the Guangzhou Maintenance Association, and Yamada and his gang have targeted Lu Yixiang's nephew, Lu Yuting.

Although Lu Yuting is young, he is old and respectful, and gets along well with the bigwigs in the Guangzhou business community, and everyone has always regarded Lu Yuting as Lu Yixiang's successor, and the financial strength and prestige of the Lu Group have made Lu Yuting a leader in the entire Guangzhou business community.

Feng Lianfa and Li Youtang took Kazuo Yamada to Lu Yuting's house, and before they entered the door, they heard the sound of suona, gongs and drums, and wailing.

Feng Lianfa, Li Youtang and Kazuo Yamada can only participate in the worship together as guests.

Lu Yixiang took Yu Lin to worship Lu Yihui and Xiulin, and when he saw Yamada and others coming, he hurriedly said goodbye to Yu Ting.

finally waited for the memorial ceremony to end, and Yamada couldn't wait to find Lu Yuting.

"Mr. Lu, I would like to express my deep condolences for the immortal death of Lord Ling Zun, and I hope that you will mourn smoothly. Can we talk about that? ”

"This is Mr. Kazuo Yamada of the Japan-China Goodwill and Friendship Association, and this is Mr. Li Youtang, vice president of the Maintenance Association." Feng Lianfa hurriedly introduced the two.

"What's the matter with me?"

"We would like to ask Mr. Lu to take up the position of president of the maintenance association."

"I'm afraid it's not appropriate." Lu Yuting glanced at Li Youtang: "You have all seen that I am filial piety and should not hold any official position." ”

"We can wait for you to break off the seventh before taking office."

"Uncle Feng, according to the usual practice, I have to keep filial piety for three years.

"Three years? Mr. Lu is kidding, right? "When Yamada heard that Lu Yuting was going to keep filial piety for three years, he couldn't believe it.

"There are many officials in our Lu family, but if their parents die, they must resign and worry at home for three years. Yu Ting is not filial, but the rules set by this ancestor cannot be broken. ”

"People are already dead, and it is useless for you to cry and engage in these rituals again, so why waste your good time on meaningless filial piety?" Kazuo Yamada was dismissive of Yuting's explanation.

"Filial piety comes first, the words of the ancestors and the younger generations can't help but listen, if you can't even keep filial piety, then what's the difference between it and well-dressed beasts?"

"Are you scolding me around the corner?" As soon as Yamada heard the words "well-dressed beasts", he jumped like thunder.

"Don't dare, father, the bones are not cold, please bear with me if you can't get it, Uncle Feng, please go back."
