The once somewhat straight back has completely bent over.
Lü Guihua knew her husband well, and seeing him like this, she spoke up on his behalf:
"You may not know this yet, but Xiaoyu is the next patriarch of our Chi clan!"
Upon hearing this, Chi Meng looked up instantly, staring at his father in disbelief.
Lin Qiuyu, who was originally filled with jealousy, went completely mad, shaking her head wildly and saying:
"No, impossible! Chi Yu is a woman, and an abandoned woman at that. How could the clan possibly let an abandoned woman who has returned home become the clan leader?"
Grandpa and Grandma are joking, right?
How can a woman be the clan leader? What's more, she's an unwanted, abandoned woman.
With over 300 people in our Chijia'ao village, surely we can't elect even one person to serve?
No, impossible. How could Chi Yu be the clan leader? I disagree, and I refuse to accept it…”
Chi Meng listened to his daughter-in-law's words, but his eyes were fixed on his parents.
Seeing that they weren't joking, my heart sank to the bottom.
Lu Guihua looked at her granddaughter-in-law, who seemed to have gone mad, and sneered:
"This is a decision made by the older generation of our Chi family. Do we need your, a junior, to agree?"
Putting everything else aside, if you, Lin Qiuyu, could do even two of the things that Xiaoyu has done for the clan, then your grandfather and I would advise everyone to seriously consider it.
So, which two things do you think you can do?
Lin Qiuyu shut up!
Despite being consumed by jealousy, she even felt that she was no worse off than the fish in the pond.
But she had to admit that she couldn't do any of the things that Chi Yu did for the people of Chijia'ao.
Let alone two of them, she can't even handle one of them!
In contrast to his daughter-in-law's silence, Chi Meng, standing to the side, said:
“Father, I thought you were joking! Since ancient times, the clan leader has always been passed down from the direct line of the family.”
Now, not only is it being spread outside, but it's also being handed over to a woman who has divorced and returned to her clan. Isn't that a bit unreasonable?
Chi Dongyi knew his son was dissatisfied, so he told the truth:
"Rules are rigid, but people are flexible; you have to know how to adapt."
Besides, the clan rules don't say that a girl can't be the clan leader.
There's an old saying: "The capable should occupy the position."
Little Fish is beautiful, literate, has a broad perspective, is clever, and cares deeply for her people.
In addition, as long as she was there, everyone in the clan could live a good life.
As for you, Ah Meng, although you care about your people, you should also know that you often act without considering the consequences.
As for Ah Zhang, let's not even talk about him. Just because his wife is from the Lin family, he's unfit to be the clan leader!
Hearing such demeaning words, Lin Qiuyu was extremely dissatisfied.
But she dared not say anything, for she was afraid that if she dared to say something that no one wanted to hear, she would be kicked out of the house today!
Chi Yu was completely unaware of what had happened to the Chi Dong family, and he didn't even know when he would become the next clan leader.
Feeling a bit down, she passed by her third uncle's house on her way home.
On such a cold day, there should be no one outside.
Unfortunately, my third uncle's house was quite lively at this moment. The door was wide open, and several children were playing with firecrackers in the yard.
The child is probably between five and six years old.
They spotted her and exclaimed in unison, "Hello, Auntie Little Fish!"
Chi Yu, who was in a bad mood, felt much better after seeing these younger people.
She immediately took out a handful of raisins from her pocket by pretending to reach into her sleeve.
She bought these in modern times to make pastries, and she would only buy one pound at a time, and then buy more when she was almost out.
