Chapter 433 The Excitement of the Sisters

Three days later.

At the entrance of the Naye Deng Family Ancestral Hall, on a makeshift stove, more than ten large iron pots were cooking meat. The aroma of meat filled the air. It would be an exaggeration to say that the fragrance could spread for ten miles, but the aroma of meat could indeed be smelled within a few dozen meters.

There were hundreds of tables and chairs placed on the wide ground in front of the ancestral hall, with candies, biscuits, melon seeds, peanuts, teapots, teacups, etc. on the tables.

Today is the day to call my aunts back to attend the clan meeting.

With the current financial resources of the Deng family, if they could call back hundreds of married aunts, they would definitely have to prepare banquets to entertain them.

Because the aunts were married in different places, some near and some far away, so naturally they came back at different times. Anyway, the meeting time was set at 3 pm, so as long as they were married in this city, they would have enough time to come back.

As for other aunts who married far away, if it is convenient for them to come back then it would be best for them to come back. If it is not convenient for them to come back then it is also okay if they do not come back. You can then let their relatives relay the contents of the clan meeting to them.

At noon, all the clansmen ate pig blood porridge at the entrance of the ancestral hall.

This porridge is the same as the community porridge. Meat is cooked in a big pot, and the broth is used to cook the porridge. When it is almost done, add pig blood and adjust the seasoning. It will be a pot of extremely delicious pig blood porridge.

By this time, most of the aunts had already arrived.

They gathered together with their families, eating delicious pig blood porridge and chatting about family matters.

Among the many aunts, the one who attracted everyone's attention was Deng Changyuan, who married to Potou Village, Longtan Town.

Because this clan meeting was held because of her, all clan members knew that she was beaten by her husband. Then the clan leader personally led people to beat her husband severely, and beat him so hard that he knelt down and begged for mercy.

Now that we have seen Deng Changyuan, everyone naturally wants to ask this person in person and listen to the follow-up of this matter.

This is a clan meeting specially held for the aunts. The sisters Deng Yunzhen and Deng Yunzhu are now married aunts. Their father is going to hold a clan meeting for all the married aunts of the Naye Deng family, so naturally they have to come back to participate.

When family members gathered together and chatted, time passed quite quickly.

Before I knew it, it was three o'clock in the afternoon.

Deng Shirong stepped onto the stage and looked at the more than 3,000 clan members and hundreds of aunts below. He said straight to the point: "Dear married aunts, the clan has called you back to hold a clan meeting today for only one purpose, which is to support you so that no one dares to bully you in your husband's family."

As soon as these words were spoken, the hundreds of aunts below became excited.

Although their parents and relatives had already told them about this matter when they returned to their parents' home to attend the clan meeting today, they still couldn't help but feel excited when they heard the clan leader say it himself.

Deng Shirong continued, "Our Naye Deng clan is now the most famous clan in the entire Bobai County. No clan dares to provoke us. If you say you are a member of the Naye Deng clan, no matter what other clan you are, you will have to give us some respect."

Hearing this, the clan members were very proud. What the clan leader said was not an exaggeration at all. Now when they go out, whether in the county town or in the towns, as long as they say they are members of the Naye Deng family, others have to offer them cigarettes.

"But what I didn't expect was that no one dared to bully our members of the Ye Deng clan, but someone dared to beat up our married aunt of the Ye Deng clan for no reason over and over again."

Deng Shirong said in a deep voice: "I'm sure all of you sisters have already known what happened three days ago. Our sister Deng Changyuan, who is married in Naye Village, has been beaten several times for no reason by her husband in the past two or three years, especially three days ago when he was very arrogant.

So, I personally led people to Potou Village and beat Ayuanmei’s arrogant husband until he knelt down and begged for mercy, and swore that he would never beat Ayuanmei again. "

All the clan members and aunts smiled when they heard this. The incident that happened three days ago was really satisfying for the clan members and aunts. They went to his house and beat him until he knelt down and begged for mercy in front of the whole village. Just thinking about it made them feel good.

My only regret is that I didn't see it in person.

Deng Shirong continued, "After this incident, I wondered if the hundreds of married sisters of our Deng family had also been beaten by their husbands? Or even beaten not once or twice, but repeatedly?

Because not every aunt has so many brothers to support her, and some aunts who are beaten by their husbands may be too embarrassed to tell their parents about it, firstly because they are afraid that their parents will not be able to support them, and secondly because they think such things are shameful and would not talk about them if they can. "

Hearing this, Deng Sifang, who was sitting below, changed his expression slightly.

She has been married for seven or eight years. Her husband treats her well, but unfortunately he also indulges in the "prostitution, gambling, drinking and partying" habit, which is drinking.

Drinking in moderation is a good thing, but her husband can't control himself once he drinks, and nine out of ten times he drinks too much.

If she had a good drinking habit and went to sleep after drinking too much, it would not be a big deal, but her husband had a very bad drinking habit. Once he drank too much, he was like a different person. You had to go your way in everything, and he would beat you up if you didn't get your way. She couldn't count how many times she had been beaten in this situation.

Every time he beat her, he would keep apologizing to her after he sobered up.

To be honest, Deng Sifang was really scared and tired of this kind of life where she might be beaten for no reason at any time.

She thought about divorce, but divorce is very rare in rural areas in this era, not to mention that they have two or three children. What will happen to the children after the divorce? She also thought about telling her parents about these things, but what's the use? She only has one brother, while her husband's family has four or five brothers, and the houses they built are all connected. How can her brother support her?

Besides, she was indeed afraid of losing face, just as the clan leader said.

Therefore, Deng Sifang has been enduring it for the past few years, but she really doesn't want to live like this for even a single day, but she has no choice.

At this moment, the clan leader's words really touched her heart.

On the stage, Deng Shirong continued, “I think among the hundreds of aunts in our Deng family, there is a high possibility that some of them are suffering from domestic violence, so I specially convened this aunt clan meeting today to lead the whole clan to support all of our aunts.

From now on, if anyone dares to hit our aunt from the Ye Deng family again, I will personally bring people to deal with him.

However, one thing needs to be made clear, you have to be ruthless. If he beats you again and again, and you still feel sorry for him and don't want us to deal with him, then that would be like Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to be beaten.

As long as you are ruthless enough, we will beat him into whatever shape you want, even if it means breaking his arms and legs.

In short, from now on, our more than 3,000 members of the Ye Deng clan will be your strongest backing.

With us here, no one can bully you."

As soon as these words were spoken, the tribesmen became excited.

"Jiu Gong said it well. If anyone dares to hit our aunt from the Deng family again, we will definitely teach them a lesson."

"That's right. No matter who it is, if he dares to touch our aunt again, we will beat him until he kneels down and begs for mercy."

"My dear sisters, do you want us brothers in the clan to take action now?"

“…”

All the clansmen felt very proud to be able to support their married aunt. They were all very motivated and couldn't wait to find a suitable candidate for them.

When the sisters heard this, they were very excited. With the clan leader's statement, they were like having a talisman from now on. If they went back and told their husbands about the content of this clan meeting, they would be scared to death.

Especially the aunts like Deng Sifang who had been beaten countless times by their husbands, were in tears. They finally had the support of their natal family, and not just one or two people, but more than 3,000 people from the entire family standing behind them. They were so confident.

They did not immediately stand up and ask their brothers in the clan to support them. Instead, they planned to give their husbands one last chance. If they never beat them again from now on, then let the past be the past. If he still dared to beat them under such circumstances, then don't blame them for being merciless.

When everyone had finished discussing, Deng Shirong on the stage spoke again: "My fellow clansmen, as the saying goes, 'Do not do to others what you do not want others do to you.' We are holding a clan meeting of aunts here to support our aunts of the Deng family in Naye, to prevent them from being bullied by their husbands' families, and certainly not to let their husbands beat them repeatedly.

Since we don't want our aunt to be beaten like this, we should also take it as a warning and not beat other people's aunts.

Therefore, from now on, all the clansmen should get along well with their wives. If there is a conflict between husband and wife due to any reason, it is okay to have a quarrel. No one will care if you quarrel to the death. But you must remember that you must never hit your wife.

If I know who in the tribe beats his wife, then he should be prepared to kneel in the ancestral hall."

As soon as these words were spoken, all the tribesmen fell silent as if their necks were strangled.

The daughter-in-law of the Deng family who was present was stunned at first, and then she shouted excitedly: "Long live the Ninth Master!"

"Long live the Ninth Ancestor!"

"Long live the clan leader!"

It was no wonder that the wives were so excited. The clan leader's words were a sign of support for them! Although the punishment of kneeling in the ancestral hall was not as good as being beaten to the ground and begging for mercy, they were satisfied in their hearts.

After all, I believe that few people can afford to lose face by kneeling in the ancestral hall in front of the whole clan.

Therefore, they were really satisfied with the clan leader's words. It was like an insurance policy for them. From now on, they would not have to worry about being bullied at their husband's side.

Deng Shirong said with a serious look: "Also, our Naye Deng family is a reasonable people. Today we support all the married sisters, but this support is only to prevent you from being bullied by your husband's family and beaten by your husband, not to let you bully your husband's family or your husband in turn.

You must remember this clearly. If you use the title of the eldest sister of the Ye Deng family to bully others in your husband's family, don't blame the clan for not recognizing you as an eldest sister.

In a word, I will not offend others unless they offend me. Everything is based on reason. As long as you are right, the more than 3,000 people in our clan will be your strongest support. "

It is very necessary to support the aunts. Doing so can enhance the cohesion of the entire family. The married aunts will also be proud of their origins in the Naye Deng family.

But supporting the aunts is not without principles. If a married aunt bullies others in her husband's family, if the clan still supports her, it would be bringing discredit to the clan. As the head of the clan, Deng Shirong must make such matters clear in advance to prevent any problems from happening.

After hearing this, hundreds of aunts expressed their opinions one after another. They certainly would not act arrogantly in their husband’s family and they just needed to make sure they were not bullied.

After the sisters had finished their discussion, Deng Shirong continued, "What I just talked about was force. I can ensure that you sisters will not be bullied by anyone in your husband's family. What I am going to talk to you about next is financial strength."

After these words were spoken, everyone looked at each other, somewhat confused about what the clan leader wanted to say.

"Possessing military force can only make people fear you, but possessing financial resources can ensure that you, the sisters, will be liked and respected by your husbands and in-laws." Deng Shirong said this from his heart. In the later generations when money was paramount, basically everything was linked to money.

Take the elderly people in later generations as an example. If they don’t have a pension when they are old and are unable to help their sons and daughters-in-law with things, and cannot demonstrate their own value, and completely rely on their sons and daughters-in-law for support, then if there are many brothers in the family, there will most likely be a "pass the buck" phenomenon.

Anyway, this one doesn’t want to raise a dog, and that one is unwilling to raise a dog.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Even if several sons take turns to support their parents, the daughters-in-law can be considered filial if they can give their parents-in-law the same food they eat themselves. Only a few daughters-in-law can show concern for their parents-in-law and cook the food they want.

However, if the elderly receive several thousand or even tens of thousands of yuan in pension every month, the sons and daughters-in-law will compete to support them. They will behave very filially and show great concern for the elderly, especially the daughters-in-law, who probably don't care that much about their own parents.

Why does this phenomenon occur?

To put it bluntly, it’s just one word - money.

This example is not limited to the old man. If you add the word "money", you will find that 90 percent of people and things in this world are inseparable from the word "money".

When you are poor in a busy city, no one cares about you; when you are rich in a remote mountain area, you have distant relatives. This is the truth.

When Deng Shirong convened this clan meeting of aunts, he had considered a problem, that is, using force to support the aunts. This would certainly prevent people from bullying the aunts of the Naye Deng family, but if he wanted the married aunts of the Naye Deng family to be respected in their husband's family and live a good life, he had to mention the word "money".

"So, I decided to set up a beer factory under the name of our Deng Group, and take out a portion of the profits every year to distribute dividends to the sisters. In this way, every sister in our Deng Group, even if they don't have to do anything, will get enough dividends every year to live a good life."

At this point, Deng Shirong smiled and said, "You have the military deterrence and the financial temptation. If you still can't get the respect of your husband's family with these conditions, then you are useless. I believe that there is no such useless aunt in our Deng family."

As soon as these words fell, at least half of the hundreds of ladies in the audience stood up excitedly.

They never expected that the clan leader would give them such great support. As mentioned earlier, the entire clan would back them up so that they would no longer be bullied by their in-laws or their husbands. This already made them overjoyed.

Now, they even set up a brewery specifically for them, so that they can get dividends every year. This is simply a blessing from heaven! Although everyone in the Deng family is now rich and every household has a deposit of over 100,000, as the saying goes, a married daughter is like spilled water. Just because her family is rich doesn't mean that these married sisters are also rich.

Even parents who love their daughters more have limited support for them, which is totally incomparable to that for their sons, not to mention those aunts who are old and whose parents are no longer around. They only have brothers left in their natal family, and the help their brothers can provide is even more limited.

Therefore, there are many aunts present whose families are not well off.

And now, the clan leader has specially set up a brewery for these aunts, so that they can receive dividends every year. For most of the aunts whose financial conditions are not very good, it is really a blessing from heaven.

"Jiu Gong, are you serious? Can we really get dividends every year?"

"Jiu Gong, don't worry, we are not such a loser. We have the support of all the brothers in the clan, and we get dividends every year. When I return to my husband's family, who will dare to look down on us?"

"Head, when was this brewery established?"

"Head, do we need to invest money to set up the brewery?"

"The clan leader..."

After the sisters got excited, they couldn't wait to ask more questions.

Hearing the questions from the aunts, Deng Shirong said with a smile on his face: "Dear aunts, you don't need to invest money, because this brewery also belongs to our Deng Group, so the money can be invested by the Deng Group.

There is one more thing I want to state in advance. The dividend amount will be adjusted according to the actual situation. It can ensure that all the sisters live a good life, but it is impossible to get rich with this dividend. If you want to become a truly rich person, you still have to work hard on your own. Do you understand?"

"Head, we understand that we can get a dividend that allows us to live a good life without paying anything, and we are already satisfied."

"Chief, you have provided us with the best conditions. We will work hard."

"It is such a blessing to be the aunt of the Naye Deng family."

“…”

The aunts all expressed their opinions. They all lived in Bobai, a place where boys were valued more than girls. They understood from childhood that everything in their mother's family belonged to the brothers and had nothing to do with them, the married daughters. Therefore, the aunts did not have that kind of greedy mentality.

Because what the clan leader has given them now has exceeded their expectations.

Deng Shirong nodded secretly after hearing this. He provided dividends to these married aunts, on the one hand to improve the cohesion of the Naye Deng family, and on the other hand for the influence of the Naye Deng family. He believed that this matter would soon spread throughout the county and make the aunts of other surnames talk about it with relish.

However, there should be limits to the help we can give to the aunts. We cannot unconditionally help so many aunts to become rich. This depends on their own efforts, not direct gifts from the clan.

This clan meeting is coming to an end here.

Originally, Deng Shirong wanted to propose the establishment of an "Aunts Returning Home Festival", where all married aunts would return to their parents' home to celebrate the festival at a fixed time every year. However, considering that the brewery has not yet been established and the aunts have not yet received dividends, it is still a little early to establish the "Aunts Returning Home Festival".

When the aunts start to receive dividends, the day for receiving the dividends will be fixed as the "Aunts Returning Home Festival" of the Naye Deng family. This will be a natural thing to do.

After the clan meeting, the next thing is eating and drinking.

In order to entertain the aunt who came back from her parents' home, the clan prepared a very sumptuous meal, and the whole clan was in jubilation that afternoon.

After eating and drinking their fill, the aunts who lived closer couldn't wait to return to their husband's house to tell their husbands and children the good news.

For those who live a little further away, they can stay at their parents' home for one night and it will not be too late to go back to their husband's home the next day.

…

Deng Yunzhen is 65 years old this year and is one of the older aunts of the Naye Deng family.

When she was still a baby, there was chaos and war and there were countless bandits. One year, in order to "escape from the thieves", her mother held her and ran away overnight.

Along the way, the extremely sharp weeds cut her legs and left them bleeding. She cried out in pain, but her mother was running for her life and was in a panic. She didn't pay much attention to these things and just covered her mouth and ran away all night.

As a baby, Deng Yunzhen naturally had no memory of how much pain she suffered that night, but that night left her with serious sequelae. Because her right leg was not treated in time, she became lame.

Fortunately, in her era, many men could not find wives. Although she was a cripple, it was not difficult for her to find a husband.

Not to mention the hardships she had experienced in the first half of her life, now that she is old and unable to do any work due to her disability, her three daughters-in-law despise her.

Everyone on her mother's side has become rich in recent years, but unfortunately, not only did she lose her parents, but she also lost her only brother. The remaining sisters-in-law and nephews on her mother's side were of a lower level of relationship and could not help her at all.

At most, her nephews would give her some money during the holidays.

Originally, she was still worried about her future. After all, judging from the performance of her three daughters-in-law, if she could not take care of herself in the future, no one would be willing to take care of her. Her son was willing to take care of her, but he had to go out to make money every day. If it came to taking care of her, he would definitely not be able to compare to the daughters-in-law who stayed at home.

As a result, they never expected that the situation would take a turn for the worse. The head of their Ye Deng family actually summoned all the married aunts back, not only to support them, but also to set up a brewery and give them unconditional dividends every year.

For Deng Yunzhen, this was like a sleepy person falling into a pillow.

With the confidence given by the clan, her life in her later years will definitely not be too bad.

She couldn't wait to go back and see what the three daughters-in-law would look like when they knew she could get dividends from the clan every year? ...
