Chapter 177: Prelude to a Surprise



How could Ningxia really be angry? There was a long list, and he didn't buy anything for himself. Looking at the list, it was all for her and the two children.

Ningxia knew he was finding ways to make up for the two years he'd missed. She sighed softly, "Don't spend money recklessly next time. They're still young. When they grow up, they'll have more things to spend money on. It's better to save some."

Apart from anything else, Ningxia estimates that when it develops in the future, Sangsang's tutoring fees will be a huge sum of money.

When Mo Guanshan heard her talk about the future, his eyes sparkled with smiles. "No more chances to squander your money! I've changed my salary account to yours at the shelter! From now on, your salary will be directly deposited into your card."

"So enthusiastic? We're not even registered on the same household yet!"

"I know. I'm just staying at Ningning's house temporarily. Ningning, you won't abandon me, right? Then I'll really be homeless..."

Ningxia held her forehead to hide the increasingly upward curve of the corners of her mouth.

"Not angry anymore?" Mo Guanshan approached shamelessly.

"roll!"

"Hehe, let me hug you! I miss you so much~"

"Has anyone ever told you that you're disgusting in Moguan Mountain?"

"Why am I disgusted by my wife?"

"Will you please get out of here?"

"No! Hug~"

Mo Guanshan had a good sleep before calling Li Gang and others over.

There were too many workers at home, so several people temporarily held a meeting at Mu Yuanqing's house.

"When did the commander come back?"

"Yesterday afternoon." Mo Guanshan said as he took out a document and handed it over.

Li Gang took it and read it quickly, then read it again from beginning to end word by word as if he couldn't believe it.

"Armed judicial administration? I...I'm responsible?"

The others also looked incredulous. Mo Guanshan smiled and nodded, "The city district has been officially implemented. The people in charge are all the coalition forces that were previously responsible for garrisoning there. At the same time, the citizen classes have also been abolished. From now on, there will be no such thing as the lowest-ranking coalition forces."

Several coalition forces had red eyes. What did the judicial and criminal investigation power mean? It meant that they would have the right to independently deal with troublemakers from now on, without having to wait for execution orders to be issued based on the rank of the citizen. No longer would they have to be beaten on the head like a grandson and unable to fight back!

"Is it...is it being implemented nationwide?"

Mo Guanshan shook his head. "Only in Chocobo and the provincial capital... many conservatives are unwilling to delegate power, and many citizens are unwilling to be controlled by the coalition forces.

"Chocobo, we fought with the state government for over half a year before we were granted the right to implement this policy. So, we must work hard and do well before we can truly realize the reform."

"Can I...can I do it?" Li Gang showed his lack of confidence for once.

Mo Guanshan smiled faintly, "With your qualifications and abilities, if the coalition's status wasn't too low and there wasn't a complete promotion system, how could you still be a squad leader today if you had gone there this morning?

You don't need to go on patrol anymore. We'll be stationed here for a long time anyway, so security issues won't be as uncontrollable as before. In three days at most, the follow-up construction team will arrive in Area 1 to build offices and training areas.

The camp should be sending people to assist you. I'll also be coming with Lei Lao Hu and his men, once they've finalized the arrangements for the sentry post."

Li Gang could not utter a word except nodding.

"I also mentioned to the higher-ups that if the population of a district exceeds 3,000 and it's properly governed, we can apply to establish a medical center. I've already booked Dr. Tang for you."

Li Gang looked at him in disbelief, "Commander...you...you..."

Mo Guanshan took a sip of water. "Me? What? No one understands the pain of separation better than me. You two are in the military camp and the forest area respectively. Aren't you afraid of something happening over time?"

Li Gang felt so ashamed and angry that he said, "I...I'll go out and take a look outside..." and ran out.

Several people in the room laughed secretly.

Ningxia rolled her eyes at him and said, "You're such a fool! You even want to tease the squad leader."

Mo Guanshan leaned back and said, "I'm telling the truth. They didn't steal or rob anything, so why are they hiding it?" Besides, if Tang Shian hadn't come to him and asked him to help Li Gang with desensitization, he wouldn't have cared about this matter!

I didn't realize that this old guy Li Gang is still a repressed guy. They have been together for four or five years, but he refuses to let Tang Shian show any signs of being exposed in public. I don't know what he is worried about.

Knowing that Lao Liao had let the cat out of the bag, Tang Shian was almost overjoyed. This news could come from anyone, but not from him, otherwise Li Gang might kick him out in anger.

When Mu Yuanqing's family came back, Lei Lao Hu and others also came with them. Liu Qingtian's operation was very successful and they just had to wait for the gauze to be removed.

Ningxia's house was completely renovated, even the yard was paved anew, and there was even a path paved with cobblestones. Sangsang was excited for several days.

Good things happened one after another, and the lives of several families became more and more comfortable.

Before the good times get over here, the residents over there are causing trouble again.

To be honest, it was Li Gang and a few others who were in control of the management that caused the trouble. The residents were not willing to be forced to surrender to the coalition forces that had been subservient to them before, so they made a lot of fuss and even jointly elected a representative of the people to join the management.

Although Chocobo has good benefits, it is not a democratic organization. How could Li Gang and his friends dare to agree?

The two sides were deadlocked and conflicts broke out several times. The construction of the administrative building in District 1 had to be temporarily suspended because residents gathered to cause trouble.

Seeing this, Mo Guanshan asked Li Gang and others to gather everyone at Liu Jun's horse farm for a meeting.

Li Gang, holding a loud speaker, once again stated that it was impossible for Chocobo to allow representatives of the people to participate in official management.

The residents below were making more and more noise.

"I just wonder how it is that you rotten coalition forces can manage it, but we, the first-class citizens, are not qualified to participate in the management?" A man below shouted extremely loudly.

Li Gang and the others looked grim. "I repeat! The citizen class system has been abolished! At least, there is no such thing as a class system in Chocobo! If you don't agree, you can go to the provincial capital. They still recognize your class status there!"

The people below were shouting louder and louder.

"Why?! I don't know how much tax I paid before I was promoted to first-class citizen! I haven't even enjoyed it for two years! How can you abolish it just like that?!"

"I'll say it again, if you don't agree, you can go to the state capital!"

"You're playing tricks, aren't you? We're not leaving! We won't let you manage us, so just kill us all if you dare!"

"That's right! Kill us all if you dare!"

Mo Guanshan glanced at Li Gang calmly, "I've already given you the right to use your weapons, what are you waiting for?"

Li Gang gritted his teeth, strode to the man who was making the most noise in the crowd, and slapped him hard in the face.

At this moment, the crowd was silent for a full two seconds before becoming excited again.

"You dare to hit me?!" The man turned over and was about to pounce on him.
