Silence! Everyone fell silent. It turned out that when everyone was only paying attention to the development and construction of the town, Zhou Xiang had already dealt with her opponent and even made him her own subordinate.
It turns out that wealth is not achieved overnight, but is accumulated over time.
"Kill them out!" Zhou Xiang's four gentle words woke everyone up.
"yes."
"yes."
………
The fifth uncle pulled the second brother hard and said, "Now is not the time to stick to the ancient etiquette and filial piety. If you give in one step, you will have to give in step by step. The attitude of the people in Zhouzhuang is very arrogant. They are not here to recognize their relatives, but to control people."
Third Grandpa also held the second brother down, "Second brother! Just be filial to us, it's enough. There's no need for others. Don't forget what Xiang Xiang asked three years ago. It means that there were already signs back then. Why did you come only now? It must be as Xiang Xiang said, because the Kong family has become her subsidiary. Second brother, don't let the child down."
Second Grandpa calmed down. Yes! He didn't need to ask Xiang Xiang to save face, because this Zhou family was no longer the same as the Zhou family in Zhoujia Village. Their blood relationship was getting more and more distant.
More than a dozen people were actually beaten out. A security guard carried one person downstairs while beating him. The security guards who were not there to take their turn stood guard at the entrance of the hall and prohibited any outsiders from entering.
Zhou Xiang walked onto the stage, picked up his nephew, whose eyes were already blurred with tears, and took the microphone from the host.
"I'd like to take this opportunity to share with you all that since I received the medal, I've been reminding myself and my family to be extremely cautious, because fame brings trouble. I'm sure you've seen what happened to me, and that's all because of it.
If you are poor in a busy city, no one will care about you. If you are rich in a remote mountain area, you will have distant relatives. I have supported the construction of the town and I have also supported the construction of Huai County.
I have a clear conscience towards Huai County, where I was born and raised, and I also have a clear conscience towards Wei Town, where I grew up.
No matter how my wealth comes from, no matter how much it is, it is all earned through my hard work. Even if it is just a few words, even if it is just a little antidote,
But, these are all skills that you don’t have, and they are earned by me.
The feud with the Kong family was completely settled last month. The Kong family is almost my subordinate, but I don’t want to take it. I just want to be content with a small fortune. I just want to be a happy ordinary person.
My nephew is Zhou Yan, and his mother is indeed a member of the Kong family. No matter how much hatred there was with the Kong family at that time, it has nothing to do with this child. What's more, the relationship between the two sides has become peaceful now?
Therefore, I solemnly declare that my nephew Zhou Yan is absolutely qualified to have the surname Zhou.
The clan no longer exists. It doesn't matter if it's included in the family tree. As long as the state recognizes the household registration book, it's fine. So, I don't care whether others agree or not. At worst, I won't have a surname..."
When Zhou's father heard this, he immediately called for a halt, quickly ran onto the stage, and snatched the microphone from his daughter. "At worst, you can just use my Zhouquan Zhou instead of Zhoujia Village."
When Zhou's mother heard this, she also ran up and snatched the microphone from her husband. "What Zhou? It can attract all kinds of people. My surname is Jiang, and it's grandma's. Grandma doesn't care about the Zhou or Kong family. Yan'er is my eldest grandson. If I hear anyone talking nonsense in the future, don't blame me for tearing his mouth apart."
After saying that, she threw the microphone into her husband's arms and took her grandson from her daughter.
"My dear Yan'er, no one else's words are of any use. Only our family's words are of any use. You are my eldest son's child, my eldest grandson. Surnames don't matter. In ancient times, how many people abandoned their ancestral surnames and changed to a less taboo surname because of a word from the emperor?
As long as you like, you can choose a unique surname of your own. No matter how you change your surname, it cannot change the fact that you are my eldest grandson."
"Grandma~"
Zhou Yan lay on his grandmother's shoulder and acted coquettishly.
The audience immediately applauded. "Yeah! It doesn't matter what others say, as long as Zhou Yan is the eldest grandson recognized by the Zhou family, that's all that matters."
Father Zhou threw the microphone back to the host. This broken microphone had caused his wife to grab the microphone first. He stretched out his hand to his eldest grandson in his wife's arms and said, "Yan'er, Grandpa will hold you."
"Grandpa~"
Zhou Yan extended his hand to his grandfather.
Father Zhou hugged his eldest grandson, his face wrinkled with smile. A few days ago, when his eldest grandson came back, he had argued with his wife about his grandson's surname. After today, he finally let it go. It didn't matter what the surname was, Yan'er was his eldest grandson.
Didn't Zhou, who was surnamed Zhou, also not receive much love from his father or much favor from the villagers? Now he was just relying on his little girl to earn back some face.
The fifth uncle looked at the second grandfather, "Did you see that? Lian Yiquan doesn't care about Wei Hui fighting for her grandson's surname anymore.
Just now, if you dared to say one more word, think about being able to lead the family to change their surname. The clan is just a burden on the children. They don't like it. Why does the clan still exist? It's because there are too many poor people and too many cowardly people. They need the clan's protection.
Therefore, for those who are strong and have little affection for the clan, we can only wait to be blessed."
Second Grandpa sighed, "Times have progressed, but why has humanity become less humane?"
"That's because nowadays we value individuals, independent individuals. Also, because clan power is fading and can no longer provide protection for clan members, only the law can uphold justice. The so-called redemption of power no longer exists. What exists is the mafia."
"Forget it, I understand. Treat the younger generation as ordinary villagers. Zhoujia Village is just a village, not a clan."
"Yes, we make profits for the villagers, not for future generations. This way, our pressure is much less. There are too many future generations, and we can't bear them.
