These words struck a chord with everyone.
Those who have one foot in the grave have only this one worry besides the fear of death.
"Second Brother," Uncle Huang Wu continued, "let's do something big, something that will completely crush that kid so he can't hold his head up, so he won't be bitten back later."
Old Man Huang wanted to applaud Uncle Huang Wu in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face. Instead, he hesitated and said, "This matter needs to be discussed by everyone before a decision can be made."
Regardless of the final outcome, he cannot leave any ammunition for criticism.
“They’re discussing this,” Uncle Huang said, puzzled. “What exactly is Second Brother worried about?”
If the eldest son's family can't be the clan leader, then it has to be the second son's family. The one who will benefit the most is the second brother, so what reason does he have to object?
“The eldest son’s family still has offspring,” Old Man Huang said with a stern face. “Have you forgotten that Huang Shixin is still alive?”
“He’s no good, too stupid,” Uncle Huang said, his expression indescribable. “I don’t know how my eldest brother and his wife raised their child. They have the same parents, but the eldest son is incredibly clever, while the second son is always a bit dim-witted. He used to listen to his parents, and now he listens to his eldest brother and sister-in-law. He’s lived most of his life and still doesn’t have his own ideas. It’s really…”
"Their initial intention was probably good, fearing it would create a rift between their two sons," Uncle Huang Qi shook his head. "Unfortunately, the eldest brother and his wife never considered that if Huang Shicheng were to get into trouble, they wouldn't even have anyone to help him. Those two are quite something, raising both of their sons to be completely corrupt. Is this what makes scholars different from us common folk?"
“It’s no use for us to say it; we need the clan’s consent,” Old Man Huang shook his head. “The eldest son’s family is the eldest son’s descendant, so what we’re doing isn’t really in accordance with the rules.”
"How about we just split the clan or exterminate the family?" Uncle Huang Wu explained, "Let's kick the whole family out, clean and efficient."
hehe.
Old Huang looked up at the sky, trying to hide his helplessness.
"Fifth Brother," Uncle Huang said, "they are from the main branch of the family. Even if they split the clan, they'll be separating us out."
"Why should they be the ones to leave? There are so many of us. If anyone should leave, it should be them."
“Let’s not talk about splitting up the clan, and exterminating the clan is not realistic,” Uncle Huang said. “Let’s think of another way.”
"No matter what, the position of clan leader cannot be given to the eldest son's family," Uncle Huang said firmly. "I support Second Brother to be the clan leader, what about you?"
"It's not impossible for the second branch to take over as clan leader, but it's not quite right for the second brother to be the clan leader. We're all too old, and we don't know when we'll kick the bucket. It would be better to let nephew Huang Shi take over."
"Don't ask me about this," Old Man Huang quickly waved his hand. "Just discuss it and tell me the result. I won't get involved."
Finally, the group of old men, in the dark and damp ancestral hall, discussed from day to night before coming up with a plan.
The Huang family was eating dinner when they heard a loud bang. When they turned around, they saw that the front door had collapsed.
“Mother,” Madam Xie immediately stood up, “What happened? There was no wind or rain, how did our front gate collapse?”
Although the door is a bit old, there is nothing damaged.
Jiang Nuan was also very puzzled, but as the head of the family, she had to remain calm.
He slowly wiped his mouth, then stood up. "Let's go over there and see if we can salvage the door."
Huangjiakou has a very good public security situation. Although it's not to the point where people don't pick up lost items on the road and don't lock their doors at night, things are generally going smoothly, and it's unlikely that anyone would deliberately cause trouble.
But the way this door is upside down is really strange.
