"Xuehua, step back. Yang Cheng did the right thing." Yang Gongming walked to the middle of the three of them.
He looked down at the dejected Yang Pojun on the ground with a sorrowful expression.
"Pojun, I've told you before that you've always been obedient to me and I'm glad about that.
But I didn't expect that after I told you the reason for everything, you would make such a choice … You've disappointed me. "
Yang Pojun's eyes were filled with unwillingness but he could only turn his head away because his mouth was already swollen.
Yang Gongming's eyes suddenly turned serious and he said, "Listen to me. Our Yang clan doesn't need ignorant descendants, nor do we need arrogant descendants!
I never thought that my son would forcefully drag his wife away in front of everyone at home! How is this any different from a robber robbing women and children?!
Don't you feel ashamed?! I'm glad that I didn't hand over the Yang Family to you.
But as the saying goes, 'It's the father's fault for not teaching his son properly'. I'm responsible for you becoming like this. I'm old and you won't listen to me. "
Yan Sanniang quickly tried to calm Yang Gongming down when she saw how emotional he was. "Master, don't get angry. It's bad for your health."
Guo Xuehua wiped her tears and went forward to support Yang Gongming.
Yang Gongming waved his hand to indicate that he was fine. He looked at Yang Cheng who was standing there expressionlessly and said, "I originally wanted to hand over the position to Yang Cheng when I'm too old.
But now, as a punishment for myself, I've decided to give up the position and live in seclusion. "
The servants of the Yang Family all had looks of disbelief on their faces, and Guo Xuehua was also standing at the side in shock.
Yan Sanniang's eyes were filled with helplessness and relief.
On the ground, Yang Pojun's expression was incomparably complicated. He didn't know if he was sad or angry, because his actions had actually resulted in such a result.
However, when Yang Cheng heard this, he frowned and said bluntly, "Old man, I didn't say that I'm going to take over the Yang Family's position."
Yang Gongming couldn't help but feel astonished. Even he, who could always predict what would happen, was puzzled.
"What did you say?"
"I said, I don't have any plans to take over the Yang Family for now. The current situation isn't simple. I don't know how to do anything other than killing people. Looking at your body, although you're not strong, you should be able to hold on for another ten years or so.
Plus, with me around, it won't be that easy for you to die.
Wouldn't it be a waste if you retired now?
I think, if you want to punish yourself, you'd better stay in this position. How tiring it is to manage such a mess. For me, as long as you're not too stingy when I need something, that's fine. "
Yang Chen squinted his eyes and smiled.
Yang Gongming was stunned for a while, but he smiled bitterly, "You brat, do you know how much power the head of the Yang Family has?
If you take over, just your attitude and a simple sentence in the core circle of power in Hua Xia can change the trajectory of millions of people's lives.
As long as you wave your arm, at least 30% of the more than two million soldiers in Hua Xia will obey your orders. Do you know that that's equivalent to the total number of troops in five European countries! "
"Tsk tsk." Yang Cheng sighed, "Now that you mention it, it sounds very powerful."
Yang Gongming couldn't help but feel a little proud, "Of course. Otherwise, do you think that the four great families are just a few old men sitting together and talking nonsense?"
Yang Cheng chuckled, "That won't do either. I'm still busy with my wedding, and after that, I have to accompany Ruoxi on their honeymoon. Oh right, I have to help my woman improve her cultivation. I'm too busy. I don't have time to care about other people's business. I even let my secretary manage the entertainment company in Zhonghai. Do you want me to hand over the management of the Yang Family to my wife? "
"You … Why do you have so many problems?" Yang Gongming sighed, "You really don't want to?"
Yang Cheng nodded, but his eyes were resolute.
At this moment, Yan Sanniang stepped forward and said, "Master, since Young Master Chen isn't willing, then there's no need to force him. After all, Young Master Chen is still young, only in his twenties. If the Yang Family doesn't have Master to oversee it, many despicable people will definitely stir up trouble. If it's just a bloody massacre, it'll inevitably be criticized. "
Yang Gongming nodded, accepting this explanation. He smiled bitterly, "Then this old man will have to work for this young man for a few more years."
Guo Xuehua forced a smile and said, "Father, don't be angry. Yang Cheng is right. You're still in good health. There's no need to make a decision so early."
Yang Gongming patted his daughter-in-law's hand and said, "Xuehua, I'm the one comparing Pojun to you. I didn't expect Pojun to end up like this."
Yang Pojun, who was lying on the ground, looked at Yang Gongming with resentment and unwillingness. He hated the fact that his face had lost all feeling and he couldn't say a word.
Guo Xuehua smiled bitterly, "As long as you can understand, I'm very satisfied."
The wrinkles on Yang Gongming's face seemed to have deepened. He waved his hand and summoned the guards who were on standby and didn't dare to come forward.
"Bring your Commander Yang to the military hospital to rest and recuperate. As for the Jiangnan military and sea battle deployment, the deputy commander will temporarily take over. As for the Ministry of National Defense, inform Deputy Minister Liu," Yang Gongming ordered.
Just a few simple words caused the faces of the guards to change drastically.
He actually went to the military hospital and didn't even allow Yang Pojun to stay at home. It seemed like Yang Gongming was determined to support his grandson and gave up on his son.
Yang Pojun closed his eyes. Rather than saying he was angry, it would be better to say that he was at a loss and lost.
Just like that, the disturbance in the backyard subsided.
Yang Cheng didn't care too much about how Yang Pojun was taken away. Instead, he went forward and asked Guo Xuehua, "Mother, where's Ruoxi? Where did you take her? "
Guo Xuehua wiped away her tears and scolded jokingly, "You're only thinking about your wife after such a big thing happened?"
"Who asked me to be so unambitious? There's not much that I can think about." Yang Cheng wasn't embarrassed at all.
"I really don't know what to do with you." Guo Xuehua sighed. "Ruoxi is at the vegetable field behind the house. She just came out of my room and saw the vegetable field. She told me that she wanted to take a look. I didn't say anything about it. Maybe it's something new."
"Vegetable field?" Yang Cheng was stunned. "There's a vegetable field here?"
Yan Sanniang said, "Young Master Chen, that's where Old Master usually grows vegetables. All the fruits and vegetables in the house are harvested from there."
Yang Cheng looked at Yang Gongming from head to toe with a strange expression. "Old man, the Yang Family is so poor that they can't even afford vegetables. Are you in a hurry to hand over the position to me so that I can repay your loan?"
"Bullsh * t!"
Even though Yang Gongming had a good upbringing and didn't have much of a temper due to his old age, he couldn't help but curse when he heard this.
"What's wrong with your head? I've been retired for so many years. Can't I plant some vegetables? "Yang Gongming didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Of course, Yang Cheng was only joking. He waved his hand and ran to the backyard. He was curious about what Lin Ruoxi was doing in the vegetable field.
At the same time, Lin Ruoxi, who was in the huge vegetable garden within the spacious walls, looked excited.
She grew up in the city and only entered the kitchen occasionally after she got married. To her, this vegetable field was like an amusement park or a museum!
There were many fruits and vegetables in the north in August.
Whether it was the ripe red tomatoes, the round cabbages, the fat Chinese cabbages, the thick white radishes and the bright green mustard greens, they were all very attractive to her.
Lin Ruoxi couldn't care less about the dirt on her clean high heels. She looked left and right, feeling that the vegetables that were still growing in the soil were so magical.
When she saw the cucumbers hanging on the shelf, Lin Ruoxi couldn't help but reach out and pick one.
But when she picked it up and looked at it, she frowned in confusion as she stared at the cucumber in her hand.
"Honey, what are you daydreaming about?" Yang Cheng happened to walk into the vegetable field and asked curiously when he saw the woman's expression.
Lin Ruoxi woke up with a start. She bit her lip in embarrassment and said with a lowered eyebrow, "I … I'm looking. Why does this cucumber look different from the ones we usually eat …"
Yang Cheng was puzzled. He stared at the dark green cucumber for a while and said, "How is it different? Why can't I see it?"
"Didn't you notice? There are small thorns on the outside of this cucumber. We don't even have them in the ones we usually eat!" Lin Ruoxi said seriously.
Upon hearing this discovery, Yang Chen almost fell headfirst into the mud!
