If Yang Mei and Liang Yuan had a child, they would truly be a family.
Then even if he died one day, his daughter’s beauty faded, he wouldn’t have to worry about her being abandoned.
He knew Liang Yuan was giving his daughter reassurances.
He liked this new son-in-law, Liang Yuan, more and more.
He was a hundred, no, a thousand times better than Li Zhiqiang!
"Food’s ready."
Yang Mei carried a plate of stir-fried pork, smiling as she put it on the table, "Don’t just drink, eat some food. I’ll go fry two more dishes."
Liang Yuan laughed, "Sister Mei, no need to rush, I have food here. Come sit and eat with us."
Yang Mei was full of joy, "I’m just happily busy today. Little brother, accompany my dad and have a good drink."
Liang Yuan, though helpless, understood her feelings.
He took a bag of peanuts from his inventory, "How can you drink without peanuts? Sister Mei, help me fry these peanuts, and come over quickly to eat together."
Seeing these peanuts, Yang Youwei couldn’t help but say, "Xiaoliang, these peanuts could be used for planting. Isn’t frying them too wasteful?"
Liang Yuan shook his head, "No worries, these peanuts are from before the great flood. If we plant them now, they most likely won’t adapt to the current environment."
Yang Youwei sighed, "Yes, this world has really become increasingly hard to understand."
"Many people in Jieshi Academy have tried to plant some crops, but those seeds we brought from home mostly can’t adapt to the current climate."
"Some say it’s because of prolonged rain, drowning the seeds."
"Others say it’s the lack of sunlight, preventing the seeds from germinating."
"But look at the wild plants growing everywhere, why can their seeds grow so vigorously?"
"I believe you’re right; most likely these seeds can no longer adapt to this world."
Saying this, Yang Youwei’s face was full of emotion. He spoke of seeds, but how could he not be thinking of people like themselves?
If they can’t adapt to this devouring chaotic world, people like them will eventually be eliminated too.
Liang Yuan naturally saw his thoughts and comforted him, "The plants that grow stronger are adapting to this world. Their roots must become more robust, their Life Force stronger to adapt to the current world."
"We’ve already escaped the vast flood, found a place to stay, and even awakened superpowers. We too are adapting to this world, aren’t we?"
Yang Youwei couldn’t help but look at Liang Yuan. Seeing his energetic and confident demeanor, he was slightly stunned.
Before the great flood, he definitely couldn’t see such aura and spirit in most young people.
The younger generation was crushed by mortgages and tortured by life, losing their Essence, Qi, and Spirit.
But now, the world is in chaos, order is gone, but all those pressures have disappeared.
Young people like Liang Yuan are finally bursting forth with their own brilliance.
He couldn’t help but smile, "Well said, the world is changing, and humans are changing too."
"For some people, the world collapses, and their original power and money turn to ashes."
"But for others, the shackles of mortgages and social pressures turn to ashes too."
"Now, it’s truly the time for each person’s true capabilities."
"What are your plans next?"
Liang Yuan took a bite of food and smiled, "Next, I will build a bridge between two mountains. My people will come to take over Meishan."
Yang Youwei was stunned and couldn’t help but look at Liang Yuan, then glanced at Li Xiangyang and the others being interrogated nearby.
He lowered his voice, "Do you have enough people? Meishan is quite large. If you want to take over here, Li Xiangyang and the others have to agree."
Liang Yuan smiled and shook his head, "He’s a smart man. When he sees my people, he’ll know what choice to make."
Seeing Liang Yuan’s confidence, Yang Youwei couldn’t help but smack his lips, "As long as you know what you’re doing."
"But building a bridge is not easy, right? Yangshan and Meishan used to be one mountain range, just two peaks. Now, the flood has submerged the valley below, forming two mountains. The water between them is four to five kilometers apart."
"Building a bridge over this distance isn’t easy, is it?"
Yang Youwei didn’t understand bridge construction, but he felt that building a bridge over such a distance wouldn’t be simple.
Liang Yuan smiled, "I’m planning to build a floating bridge, not a beam bridge. The technology doesn’t need to be so professional."
Yang Youwei was a bit confused. He didn’t understand the technicalities of beam bridges.
He just said, "It looks like you’ve prepared well."
Liang Yuan nodded slightly, "Tomorrow morning, you will go with us to Yangshan, and everything will be clear."
Yang Youwei hesitated, "Do you want me to stay and keep an eye on things?"
He gestured towards Li Xiangyang, the meaning clear.
Liang Yuan just smiled, "Uncle Yang, no need, as long as I’m here, it won’t be chaotic."
"As you said, Li Xiangyang is a smart man and knows the boundaries."
"He saw firsthand how I killed the mutated weasel."
Yang Youwei suddenly realized, yes, Li Xiangyang and the others were trapped in the cemetery. If not for Liang Yuan’s intervention, Li Xiangyang couldn’t have escaped.
And it was Liang Yuan who easily killed the mutated weasel, so Li Xiangyang should know Liang Yuan’s terrifying strength.
