After the New Year, if there are any matters concerning the clan, Akang will learn from the clan chief.

Upon hearing Chi Qiao's words, the many sons of the Chi family looked at each other in bewilderment.

There was envy, but also confusion.

Chi Yu understood the situation and was afraid they would have conflicts later and feel that she, as the younger sister-in-law, was showing favoritism, so she simply said:

"Uncle Clan Chief, it seems they have no objections. Then let's settle on this."

The ancestral worship ceremony is about to begin. You all go ahead first; I have something to say to them.

They'll be there later; it won't delay the ancestral worship ceremony.

Upon seeing this, Chi Dongyi and the two clan elders nodded and left first.

After Chi Yu and the others walked away, looking at the silent crowd in the courtyard, he said:

"After the disaster is over, we will have to go to the county town or the prefectural town to do business."

Ah Ye is good at dealing with people, so I'll have to go along and help him.

Arden also has his own methods for doing trivial things, and you have to follow them.

I heard that you guys, Aping and Amu, have been learning a lot from Master Shen lately.

When the time comes, if you want to find work in the county town, your aunt will help you look for opportunities.

If you don't want to continue studying, as long as you are diligent and have the talent, your parents will support your studies.

But there's a prerequisite: whoever you are, you have to make a name for yourself by the time you turn twenty.

Education is expensive, and the family can't support it forever.

For someone your age, Ah Ping, if you study for a few more years, even if I don't expect you to pass the county-level exam, you should be able to pass the preliminary exam or the county-level exam, right?

If none of these work, then it's best to give up on the idea as soon as possible.

As for the three nephews of the third branch of the family, Chi Yu had already told them that there was no need to explain anything to them now.

As for Chi Kang, he was her loyal fan, and she would definitely not object to him becoming the next clan leader!

Chi Yu was right; Chi Kang was overjoyed when he heard that he was to be the next clan leader.

If he becomes the clan leader, his aunt will no longer have to worry about the Immortal Cave being exposed when she helps the clan members.

There's no need to worry that the clansmen won't listen to their aunt.

Therefore, it's good that he becomes the clan chief. Only if he becomes the clan chief can he help his aunt for the next few decades...

Chi Qiao glanced at the boy opposite her, who was grinning foolishly with his head down, and couldn't bear to look at him.

However, she couldn't bear to see Chi Yu go through so much trouble to explain, so she simply said:

"After one disaster after another, there will be many opportunities to work in the county town after the New Year."

Ah Ye, you eight brothers, try to learn more characters from Master Shen these next few months.

Once the disaster is completely over, we'll all move into the city.

When the time comes, those who should study will study, and those who should find work will find work.

But it won't work if all of our families go down the mountain at that time.

No one looks after this shop, and no one looks after our homes either.

During this time, Ah Kang stayed at the shop, and we could tell that he really liked it.

So if he stays, then your aunt's shop will be transferred to him to run.

Of course, if you don't want to study or go out to find a decent job, and want to stay and look after your aunt's shop, that's fine too.

Then just tell the clan chief that you can take A-Kang's place and stand as the leader.

But once you've made a choice, don't regret it.

Except for Chi Kang, every one of the sons of the Chi family has their own ambitions.

Nobody wanted to stay, not even with my aunt's ready-made general store!
