Tiger's words were like a thunderclap from a clear sky, instantly causing an uproar at the scene.
After all, creating a separate family genealogy is no small matter. It means that the person in question is leaving the entire family, which is a serious offense!
"What's going on? Why are we suddenly starting a separate family tree?"
"Isn't Tiger afraid of being struck by lightning for doing this?"
“There’s never been a precedent in our village for creating a separate family genealogy. It’s really unlucky that the Zhao family had such a son.”
The crowd displayed a variety of expressions and continued to discuss the matter.
Those who knew the inside story shook their heads and said, "Tiger went back to the old house with his father and abused his grandfather until he was barely alive. If it weren't for Weidong, he would have died."
"After doing something like this, the Zhao family will definitely not acknowledge him anymore. Now that he has the ability, he will definitely want to be listed in the family genealogy separately."
Some people exclaimed, "No wonder he was suddenly so generous to treat us to a meal; it turns out he was planning this!"
Opinions vary.
Listening to everyone's discussion, Hu Zi said smugly, "Besides compiling a separate genealogy, I also want to build an ancestral hall. There are quite a few Zhao family members in our village, aren't there?"
"Those who are willing to join my branch can register now. As the clan leader, I will not treat you unfairly in the future."
These words caused quite a stir.
Taohuayu is a village with many different surnames, including quite a few with the surname Zhao, all of whom are from the same family genealogy.
Tiger's words were truly earth-shattering.
The older members of the Zhao family immediately became angry: "Tiger, what are you doing? It's not your place to repair our Zhao family ancestral hall!"
Changing the clan name and genealogy is an outrageous act!
Tiger, however, didn't care at all: "It's not my turn to fix it, are you the ones who are going to fix it?"
Do you have money?
"It's been so many years, and our Zhao family's ancestral tablets are still in the Li family's ancestral hall. You can't afford to repair them, and you're trying to stop me?"
As he said this, he raised his chin and said, "Anyway, I'm telling you this, you can't stop me. I, Zhao Huzi, have the ability to start my own family genealogy, and I'm going to build an ancestral hall!"
"If you're willing to squeeze in with people surnamed Li, then so be it!"
Many people were stunned.
Young people don't care about family genealogies and ancestral halls, but the older generation is very particular about them.
Tiger's words did persuade many of the elderly, but they also had their own plans.
On the surface, this matter is just about repairing an ancestral hall and changing a family genealogy, but in reality, it's about taking sides.
By changing the family genealogy with Hu Zi, it would be tantamount to going against Li Weidong.
Even if Hu Zi is very capable, can he compare to Li Weidong?
After all, it's obvious how powerful Li Weidong's company is.
After figuring this out, none of the elderly people surnamed Zhao spoke, and some even put down their chopsticks and left.
The once lively banquet suddenly became much quieter.
Tiger didn't care and sneered, "You look down on me now, just you wait and see!"
"One day, I will make Li Weidong kneel down and beg me to show mercy and let him go!"
...
After the banquet that day, Hu Zi began to build the ancestral hall in a grand manner and invited people to compile the family genealogy.
Upon receiving the news, the old man was so angry that he fell ill.
Zhao Xiulian was also furious: "That ungrateful wretch Hu Zi, he gets all cocky over a little money, look how angry he's made your grandpa!"
Li Weidong was also somewhat helpless: "Grandpa, didn't I already tell you? Why do you care what Tiger is like?"
"Let him create his own family genealogy if he wants. You'll be living with us in your old age anyway. There are more than just Zhao Huzi among the Zhao family's descendants. What's there to be angry about?"
The old man had lost a lot of weight and sighed, "What a misfortune for our family!"
“I have let down the ancestors of the Zhao family by raising someone like Tiger…”
Seeing that he couldn't persuade him, Li Weidong simply gave up and stopped trying.
This old man is really hard to please.
Now he's calling Hu Zi an ingrate, but if something really happens to Hu Zi and he loses his life, this old man will probably fall ill again.
It seems we need to buy more supplements to improve the old man's health.
...
After showing off in a grand manner, Hu Zi actually hired someone to build an ancestral hall.
Many people in the village looked down on his actions, but some admired him.
After all, he had fought with Li Weidong before and ended up like that. Now he has not only stood up but also made a lot of money, so he must have some skills.
These words of admiration made Tiger even more arrogant, and in addition to the liquor business, he even extended his reach to the greenhouse business.
Master Hei was initially unwilling.
"Li Weidong makes money growing vegetables, but that doesn't mean everyone can make that kind of money!"
Uncle Hei analyzed, "Now his Yimeng Group is very famous in our area. If we follow him into the greenhouse business, we can't surpass his reputation, and we have no experience. What if we lose money?"
Tiger, however, was unconvinced and explained, "Godfather, isn't everything about learning from ignorance to understanding?"
“If Li Weidong can do it, why can’t we? The fact that he has built such a big business proves that greenhouse vegetables can make money.”
"Why don't we follow suit and compete with him?"
After saying that, he added, "Besides, to put it bluntly, our liquor business originally belonged to Li Weidong. Now that we've taken it over and made a lot of money, we can follow him to grow vegetables and expand the business!"
After much persuasion, they finally managed to convince Master Hei.
"Then go and give it a try."
Master Hei waved his hand and said, "But let me make this clear from the start: if you're going to do it, you have to do it well. If you don't do it well, even if you're my godson, you'll still be punished as you'd like. I won't show any mercy."
