In essence, clan land is similar to a modern trust fund.

Our ancestors were afraid that their descendants would starve to death, so they would buy some land and hand it over to people they could trust to manage.

Normally, the output of the clan land is used to repair the ancestral hall, and also contributes to things like building bridges and roads in the hometown.

If the descendants are not ambitious enough and squander the family fortune, the clan land can provide an opportunity for a comeback.

The clan land of each family is registered in the clan and is kept by the respected old man. It cannot be sold by one person, especially in Zhang Lai Di's case.

She did a really bad job as the Kitchen Lady. It was normal for the two sisters to disagree with her continuing to inherit the ninth house and ask for a new candidate to be selected.

Zhang Laidie panicked for a moment. She never expected that after working as a kitchen girl for more than 30 years, she would be deprived of her rights in the end!

She pointed at her sisters and the old man and trembled with anger: "You people just can't stand seeing me get along well. I am the heir, and it's only right that the clan land belongs to me!"

She received all the benefits of inheriting the family business, but she also didn't take on any of the responsibilities.

Zhang Jidi didn't give her any face at all: "Putting aside your mistake of selling the house, which of your children can be the heir?"

This statement hits the nail on the head.

Zhang Laidie's eldest son has gone to the border, her second son is addicted to gambling and is a hopeless case, and her youngest son took her husband's surname and was taken away by her husband during the divorce.

From this perspective, none of the children can be considered a qualified heir.

Zhang Laidi collapsed and yelled, "Who cares? Give me the clan land right away! If my son doesn't work, I still have a daughter. I can just let her keep guarding the stove!"

The old man of the Zhang family laughed angrily: "Are you kidding us? Your daughter has been married for two or three years and has a child. Why is she guarding the kitchen stove?"

Do you really think that anyone can be the heir to the family?

That's impossible. The requirements for being a Kitchen Goddess are very high, and the education she receives is completely different from that of ordinary women.

Generally speaking, she should be trained from the moment she is born. It is impossible for her to get married and have children, and then be brought back as an heir.

This can easily lead to the extinction of the family, because women are taught from childhood that they are weak and cannot protect the family property.

Zhang Lai Di thinks that his own skills are poor, so he thinks that all the Kitchen Goddesses are just casual.

Zhang Lai Di never considered the inheritance of her descendants. She just wanted to get the clan land and squander it. When she died, what did the inheritance of the Zhang family have to do with her?

She made up her mind and simply pounced on the old man of the Zhang family and robbed him.

Anyway, as long as she can get the deed to the clan land and sell it, she won’t have to worry about the rest of her life!

What does it matter whether she guards the Kitchen Goddess or not? What does the honor of the Zhang family have to do with her?

The old man of the Zhang family was very old, and unfortunately he had never seen the younger generation behave disrespectfully like this, so he was caught off guard and the baby was actually snatched away.

Zhang Lai Di was holding the land deed, laughing wildly, and hurried out: "You old man, you just can't stand seeing me doing well. This is what I deserve as the Kitchen Goddess. You've kept it for so many years, and you've embezzled so much, and I haven't asked you for the output yet!"

He insulted the old man of the Zhang family as if he were the chief steward, and slandered others for taking advantage of it.

The old man of the Zhang family was so angry that his heart ached. He was old and couldn't move, so he couldn't get up quickly and chase after the person.

But this place was his home, so he quickly shouted loudly, asking his swift-footed children and grandchildren to chase out the door, tie Zhang Laidie's hands behind her back, and snatch the land deed from her.

Fortunately, Tian Qi was not harmed and the jade was returned to Zhao intact.

After receiving the land deeds handed over by his children and grandchildren, the old man of the Zhang family was so angry that his veins were bulging. He beat Zhang Lai Di with his cane, cursing with a dark face as he beat him:

"What the hell, you dare to call me old? You disrespectful little bitch, I'm going to break your bones today!"

Since he was in his eighties, he was the oldest and most senior member of the clan, and he never thought that one day he would be insulted like this by a junior.

Zhang Laidie was held by the children and grandchildren of the old man of the Zhang family. He could not move at all. He could only lean on a sturdy crutch and scream in pain.

She screamed miserably, but no one sympathized with her.

Even calling the police would be useless. Sometimes the police would not intervene due to the clan's power. As long as no one was killed, Zhang Lai Di would not be able to cause any trouble at all.

The old man of the Zhang family vented his anger and sat down to speak, panting. "One bad apple spoils the whole barrel. And your parents chose this bad apple!"

The old man's words are so insightful, although they may be rough.

He pointed at Zhang Laidi with trembling fingers, his disgust evident in his words.

Not to mention that Zhang Aihua made a name for himself in the frontier, even if Zhang Jidi was the heir, it would be fine. His children were all outstanding and had a much better education than Zhang Laidi.

As a younger generation developing in the county town, the old man of the Zhang family naturally paid attention to the two sisters and knew the general situation of the family.

Originally, Zhang Lai Di was quite well behaved, but he became more and more confused as he got older, and he even started to beat his elders!

Seeing the old man's chest heaving with anger, Zhang Jidi quickly said a few words to comfort him: "Granduncle, don't be too angry. Let's take it easy and see how to deal with it later."

Don’t let the family elders faint because of Zhang Lai Di, it will be too troublesome if that happens.

The old man of the Zhang family was in good health. His beard curled upwards with anger. "Why wait? Just record her in the family tree and marry her off. You and your eldest sister can decide who will inherit the family lineage!"
