Chapter 145 Discussion

What I, Lian Jiang, said touched the clan leader and others.

After all, they knew very well what they had done to me, Shao Yuan.

If I, Shao Yuan, really come back to take revenge on them, then they definitely cannot sit idly by and wait for death.

However, the clan leader knew very well that he had not called the villagers here for a meeting today to deal with me, Shao Yuan.

But it was to take the degree for the three houses in the city from him.

Because his grandson will soon be going to high school.

As long as you get into the high school department of Experimental Middle School, you will have an admission ticket to an undergraduate university.

At this time, the clan leader is unwilling to offend me, Shao Yuan.

The white-haired patriarch held a hookah with tobacco in his hand.

The village chief came forward and helped light the tobacco.

The patriarch took a deep breath and slowly exhaled white smoke.

Then he slowly said, "Lian Jiang, could it be that you have misunderstood? Our third son has been raised under our watch. Although he has a stubborn temper, he is not the type to play tricks behind people's backs."

The village chief's wife said with a forced smile, "Yes, that child doesn't have any bad intentions. Lianjiang, I think you're worrying too much. We also know about the affair between you and my third son. Speaking of which, it's your wife's fault. If she had been watching the child, that wouldn't have happened."

After becoming rich, I, Lian Jiang, immediately abandoned my original wife and married my mistress, which disgusted the village head's wife.

Some other women who had the final say sitting below also began to condemn Zhen Lianjiang.

"That's right. Lian Jiang, I told you at the beginning that any woman who becomes your mistress outside is no good. Look, isn't this bringing disaster upon you?"

"Marry a virtuous woman. Those vixen, what else can they do besides spending your money? Look, they can't even educate their own children properly. If it were my son, I would never let that vixen into the house."

"Besides, my third son owns three school-district housing units in the city. What if I offend him and he's unwilling to give them up?"

"Yes, yes. My son is going to enter high school next month. We have to get this school district house."

"My daughter is the same. She is my only precious daughter. She must have a place in this experimental middle school."

…

Nowadays, there are many people in the village whose children are in high school.

This year, everyone gathered at the clan leader’s house for a meeting.

It’s about the degree housing issue.

Everyone wants to send their children to the best high school.

In their opinion, only by attending the best high schools can children have a bright future and be admitted to universities.

Only then can we bring honor to our family and change the current situation at home.

After all, there were only a few households in the village that had been relocated before.

The rest of the people have little money at home.

Naturally, it is impossible for children to receive a better education.

In their opinion, going to college is the best way out for their children.

Only by getting into college can they change their current situation.

Now that there is an opportunity in front of us, of course no one wants to miss it.

Not only did the clan leader and the villagers not blame me, Shao Yuan, but they blamed him for his behavior instead, which made me, Lian Jiang, unbelievable.

He stood up suddenly from his chair.

"A university-district housing? Hey, uncles and aunts, you guys are still thinking about this?"

Zhen Lianjiang reminded them, "Three years ago, you all expelled my third son from our village. Have you forgotten? He's no longer a member of our village. Do you think he'd still be willing to give you his house?"

A man in his fifties stood up and said, "We don't want his house. We just want a place at the Experimental Middle School."

Others echoed.

"Right. We don't want his house, we just want his degree. He's already graduated from college anyway. He won't need the degree, so it would be a waste to leave it there. It's perfect for us to give it to him."

"Three houses and six degrees."

"If he doesn't want to, then at worst, I can just let him go back to my village."

"Yes, as long as he is willing to give up his degree. Then let the clan leader write the names of his family of three back into the family tree. I don't believe that my third son is unwilling to recognize his ancestors."

"That's right, the clan leader also agrees with this matter, right, clan leader?"

A group of people looked at the patriarch who was sitting at the top seat.

The patriarch took another puff of his cigarette, his bronze face, which was already covered with age spots, had a solemn expression.

He nodded to Zhen Lianjiang and said, "I agree with this. I called everyone here today for this matter."

Of course, the patriarch didn't say that what he really wanted was more than just a degree.

Zhen Lianjiang was shocked. "No, Clan Leader, didn't I make it clear just now? What do you mean by tracing one's ancestry? My third son isn't even from our village. He's already found his biological parents, and they're very wealthy."

My biological parents are so rich, why would they want to come back to this remote and poor village like ours?

Stop kidding.

"Lianjiang, you are still young."

The clan leader put down his water pipe and said earnestly, "My third son isn't from our village, but his adopted father, Zhen Lianqing, is a true descendant of our village. He can't bear to see his adopted parents unable to return home. He has to remember some family ties and old ties."

This is where the clan leader is most confident in controlling me, Shao Yuan.

I, Shao Yuan, don't mind coming back to my village.

But he can't just not care about his adoptive parents.

At the beginning, the clan leader did not just drive me, Shao Yuan, out of my village.

And his adoptive parents.

Therefore, my adoptive parents, Shao Yuan, are now unable to return to their hometown in my village.

Can only be buried somewhere else.

Zhen Liandong, who had been sitting aside without saying anything, finally couldn't help it.

He stood up and said to the clan leader, "Clan leader, I think what Brother Lianjiang said makes sense. My third son is not my eldest brother's biological son, so he wouldn't care about returning to our Zhenjia Village. He also doesn't care whether my eldest brother and his wife return to our Zhenjia Village or not."

"He's a heartless person. He doesn't care about family ties or old relationships. As soon as he came back, he sent Shao Xi to the police station. Shao Xi is still stuck there. It's obvious that he came back to deal with us."

Zhen Liandong's wife, Zhen Ershen, immediately echoed her husband with an angry look on her face, "That's right, that little bastard came back to take revenge on us. He and my son were on the same high-speed train. As a result, he deliberately had someone frame my son and had him arrested and taken to the police station. Zhen Lianjiang is right, he came back to take revenge on us. We can't be fooled by him again."

My son was arrested and now he is suffering in the police station.

When I think of this, my second aunt feels heartbroken.

Her son, that was the glory of her first half of life.

Her son is a college student at a prestigious university.

After graduation, I want to start a company, be a boss, and make a lot of money.

Now he has been arrested and taken to the police station, and his criminal record will be kept.

How can I be a boss in the future? My life may be ruined.

"What? Shao Xi was arrested at the police station? When did this happen?"

When the patriarch heard the news, he stood up from his chair with a look of shock on his face.

The others were also surprised.

You know, I, Shao Xi, am the only college student in our village who has been admitted to a key university on his own in all these years.

Then you will have a great future!

Maybe if I take the civil service exam, I can become an official in the future.

Therefore, the clan leader also values me, Shao Xi, very much.

Even Zhen Lianjiang, who earns a million a year, has a lower status in the village than Zhen Shaoxi, a college student from a key university.

Now that he heard that Shao Xi had been arrested by the police station, how could the clan leader not be surprised?

"Just yesterday, Shao Xi and my third son came back on the same high-speed train. As a result, my third son actually arranged for someone to frame Shao Xi, falsely accusing him of being a spy. As a result, Shao Xi was taken to the police station."

Zhen Liandong stepped forward and said to the clan leader with a sad face, "Clan leader, you have to make the decision for us in this matter! My third son is doing this to completely destroy our Shaoxi and the future of our Zhenjia Village."

I, Liandong, knew that the clan leader wanted his son to go into politics and revitalize our village.

Therefore, he knew that the patriarch would not watch his son get into trouble.

The patriarch frowned and blamed: "Such an important matter, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Zhen Liandong explained, "Chief, we just received a call from the police station and rushed over here. We want you to save Shao Xi."

The reason why the patriarch can become the patriarch of our village is not just because of his high seniority.

Also because his niece married the deputy director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau and became the deputy director's wife.

The clan leader pointed at Zhen Lianjiang and said angrily, "You, you should have told me about such a big thing as soon as you came in. Can this be delayed?"

The clan leader immediately said to his son, the village chief, "Lian Ming, hurry up and call Daya."

"good."

The village chief Zhen Lianming immediately took out his cell phone and called his eldest cousin.

After the call was connected, Zhen Lianming immediately handed the phone to the patriarch.

The patriarch picked up the phone, first greeted his niece, and then told her about Shao Xi's affairs.

"Daya, you see, this is all a misunderstanding. Can you let Shao clear it out first?"

I originally thought that this was just a small matter for my niece.

Unexpectedly, the niece said earnestly, "Uncle, I was just about to tell you about this. It's not that I don't want to help you. It's just that there's nothing I can do. I, Shao Xi, was brought back by the Municipal Bureau. The relevant departments suspect him of being a spy and he's under investigation. Knowing that I'm your niece, Lao Liu and I were both questioned."

"What? Did it get you into trouble? Are you okay?"

The patriarch never expected that this matter would implicate his niece.

The deputy director's wife said, "It's okay, but if we, Old Liu, get involved, then there will be trouble."

"Then don't worry about it. You and your nephew-in-law can't be implicated in this matter. Just pretend you didn't receive the call from your uncle and that he hung up."

Having said that, the patriarch immediately hung up the phone.

Although the patriarch values me, Shao Xi.

But if I have to implicate my niece and nephew-in-law for the sake of my own son, then I definitely cannot do that.

This niece is his only support.

He can still tell what is important and what is not.
