Zhang Aihua and Zhang Jidi looked at each other and realized that the purpose of their visit today had been achieved.
Originally, one had to consider the obstruction of the elders. After all, changing the successor is not a simple matter, and the elders may not agree because they stick to the old rules.
As a result, Zhang Laidie was so stupid that he thought he could run away after getting the land deed, without considering the family's sphere of influence at all.
He also humiliated the clan elders. Even though the old man was buried up to his neck in the earth, he became more and more shrewd as he got older. Sometimes his words in the clan were more effective than those of the officials.
With the support of the old man of the Zhang family, the two sisters can speak their minds without worrying about it.
Zhang Aihua spoke first: "Grandun, I won't hide it from you. I'm thinking of asking my youngest sister's youngest daughter to marry into the family, so that we can adopt one to inherit the family."
This was a plan the two had agreed upon long ago, and Zhang Jidi nodded in agreement.
The old man of the Zhang family frowned and said, "I remember Liu Ya had three sons. We could have picked any one to inherit the family. Why did you choose a girl?"
Zhang Jidi looked at Zhang Laidi lying on the ground. She had not changed her bad habits and was looking at her youngest sister angrily for taking away her interests, but her mouth was blocked by the tribesmen and she could not make a sound.
Thinking of his youngest daughter, Zhang Jidi smiled and said, "Grandun, you don't know, but my youngest is the most outstanding one. She is also blessed and the most suitable to be our heir!"
The other kids were good too, but they were all a little off.
The eldest son, Xiang Liguo, is conservative in character; the second daughter, Xiang Meimei, is married and the eldest daughter-in-law of the Chen family; the third son, Xiang Lidang, is calm and taciturn.
The fourth son, Xiang Lihua, joined the army and no one knows where he is. The fifth daughter, Xiang Lili, has a simple personality.
Only the youngest daughter is suitable. She is as sensible as a little adult and a little clever but she won't use it on her family.
Moreover, Xiang Mianmian has more or less something to do with the job acquisition at home. Even if he casually mentioned the demolition, it would really happen. Isn’t this a good fortune?
Zhang Jidi was very satisfied with his daughter. If he had not considered Xiang Hongqi's idea, he would have wanted to change his youngest daughter's surname and have her become the kitchen keeper of the Zhang family.
The old man of the Zhang family was a little hesitant. No matter how outstanding a little girl was, she was not as safe as a boy.
He was about to retort when his children and grandchildren weakly interrupted, "Grandpa, what my cousin said makes sense. That little girl from the Xiang family is, among other things, first-rate in martial arts!"
This praise came out of nowhere. Could it be that this guy was bribed by Zhang Jidi?
The old man of the Zhang family was full of questions, and the grandson touched his head and explained that Xiang Mianmian had gone to his unit to repair a tractor a few days ago, and it was done quickly and well.
She didn't hide her skills after finishing the work and explained all the technical points clearly. Who wouldn't praise her?
People with abilities are respected, let alone a young genius like this. Helping her when she has not yet made her mark will help her benefit from it in the future.
The people present said nothing more and decided to adopt one of Mianmian's descendants to inherit the Zhang family.
Naturally, the family tree would change Zhang Lai Di's name to a married woman, and she would no longer serve as the kitchen keeper of the ninth room.
Not asking her to compensate her parents for their inheritance was already a great honor to their sisterhood. From then on, there was no more affection between the sisters.
Zhang Jidi breathed a sigh of relief, not because of the family's small amount of land, but because what Zhang Laidi did with the status of his mother's family was too disgusting, who would be willing to tell others about it and be embarrassed?
If her daughter's descendants inherited the family business, she would feel that she would not be ashamed of her parents after her death.
After all, seeing my daughter becoming more and more outstanding and about to become a teacher, such an outstanding child will definitely have good descendants.
Regardless of the fact that Zhang Laidie was taken away by the clan members, Zhang Jidi thought that the matter was over for the day and prepared to go home with his elder sister Zhang Aihua.
She wanted to talk to her elder sister on the way about Zhang Mingyu's fate, but she saw that the old man of the Zhang family hesitated for a while and finally asked them to stay.
After sending everyone away, the old man of the Zhang family stood up tremblingly and went to the backyard to get something.
When he came out again, he had a wooden box in his old hand, which reflected brilliant light as he walked into the bright lobby.
If someone knowledgeable were here, they would know that this is a mother-of-pearl lacquer shell jewelry box.
The old man of the Zhang family placed the wooden box on the table and pushed it towards Zhang Jidi. "Sixth girl, your parents promised to keep this with me."
He said that Zhang Jidi's parents fell seriously ill and died too suddenly, and Zhang Laidi, the Kitchen Lady, was not their ideal candidate, but they had no other choice.
But after thinking about it, he felt that Zhang Lai Di was weak and could not support the family, so he simply collected all the valuables in the house and handed them over to the clan members for safekeeping.
If it is really as they expected, and their descendants are not up to the task, they can use this family fortune to make a comeback.
Some of the things in it are for the family custodian as a thank you fee.
There is a mechanical lock on the wooden box, and the keyhole is very delicate. It can be seen that it is made of high-quality copper and is not rusted.
Such a valuable thing was actually given by my parents?
Zhang Aihua and Zhang Jidi looked at each other in confusion. They had the impression that their parents were not that rich.
But since the old man said it was their family's, Zhang Jidi would definitely not push it away. He is not a fool and would not give up the benefits he has obtained.
After taking the jewelry box and studying it for a while, she found that she had no clue about the key.
The three of them had no choice but to let Zhang Jidi take the child home.
The old man of the Zhang family guarded this thing for nearly 40 years before returning it to its original owner. Now that he has taken it out, he is not afraid that the benefits he deserves will be embezzled.
