Chapter 587 Guan Laoqi quits the job
If Guan Lao San won, his family would have no chance of survival.
There was no need for Uncle Jiu to point this out, Guan Laoqi knew it clearly in his mind.
But that’s the problem.
Guan Lao San can be ruthless and ungrateful, but Guan Lao Qi cannot.
If he really killed all these families, then he would become the same person as Guan Lao San.
"Is that what you all think?"
Guan Lao San did not respond directly to Lao Jiu's words, but looked at the indignant clansmen and asked, "Why didn't you stand up when Lao San and the others kidnapped me?"
Why don't you stand up?
This question was like a slap in the face, a loud slap.
Why didn't these people stand up when Guan Lao San was in power? The answer is simply that they wanted to follow Guan Lao San and take advantage of him.
After all, Guan Lao San had the advantage at the time and had painted a super delicious pie for them.
Unfortunately, Guan Laosan’s promise could not be fulfilled.
It is said that he who knows the times is a hero.
Even though most of the Guan family members have never been to school and can barely read or write, it doesn't mean they can't analyze the pros and cons in their minds.
"Seventh Brother, are you blaming us?"
When Uncle Jiu saw that Guan Laoqi silenced everyone around him with just one sentence, he quickly spoke, "Before, Guan Laosan and the others acted so quickly that we didn't even have time to react."
"From beginning to end, we are on your side!"
"Yes, Seventh Brother, we even scolded Third Brother!"
The elders of the clan who had previously yelled at Guan Lao San now spoke up.
"Seventh Brother, uncle knows that you are a man of loyalty and righteousness."
"But you can't ignore the future of the majority of our clan for the sake of these disloyal and unrighteous beasts."
"That's right, Old Seven, if you want to be a good person, that's your business."
…
When the elders of the clan started talking, they were really talking one after another, and their tone was extremely tough, as if Guan Laoqi had done something against the will of heaven if he disagreed with their way of dealing with Guan Laosan and others.
Guan Laoqi didn't say anything. Looking at the faces of these clansmen who were once so familiar to him, he suddenly felt very tired.
He had never seen these people like this before.
"I don't care about this anymore!"
"I don't want to be the clan leader anymore. You guys decide for yourselves!"
Guan Laoqi, who was disheartened by what the group of old people said, simply said these words and turned away.
He had always believed that the Guan clan of Lingshui Village was the most united of all the villages in Sanhe Town. But at this moment, Guan Laoqi suddenly realized that the Guan clan was no different from other clans.
"Seventh Brother, what do you mean?"
"Nephew, you can't give up!"
"Guan Laoqi, what do you want to do?"
"Seventh Brother, don't be angry!"
"You are the clan leader, so we will do whatever you say. We will listen to you!"
When everyone heard Guan Laoqi say that he didn't care anymore and would not be the clan leader, they became angry.
Of course, this impatience is not because Guan Laoqi is doing a good job as the clan leader, but because of the relationship between Guan Laoqi and the Xu family, which is unmatched by other families in the clan.
Lingshui Village is not small, and the Guan family makes up the majority of the population.
But in the entire village, the family that has the best relationship with the Xu family is Guan Laoqi's family and the Yue family.
The Yue family is also an outsider to Lingshui Village, although they arrived earlier.
At this critical juncture, if Guan Laoqi gave up, they couldn't expect the Yue family to step in. After all, the Yue family wasn't stupid.
Guan Laoqi felt even worse when he saw the sudden change in attitude of his clan members.
“That’s terrible!”
These are his people!
Guan Laoqi felt as if he had just seen his own people clearly for the first time, and his mood was extremely bad.
However, when Mr. Yue, who was not far away, saw this scene, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly and he was in a good mood.
This is human nature!
Even a couple will go their separate ways when disaster strikes, let alone ordinary members of the tribe?
Did the Guan family members do anything wrong?
On a moral level, they were wrong.
But in life, we always seek benefits and avoid harm.
Everyone wants to live a better life.
Guan Lao San did all this, no matter if it was for a meteoric rise or to bring honor to his family. The end result was the same, that is, to make his life better.
The Guan family members did this repeatedly in order to maximize their interests.
mutual affection?
In the eyes of most people, interests must give way.
It is precisely because of this that the words "love and friendship" are priceless.
Hearing the words of his clan members, Guan Laoqi was not moved at all. He only had one thought in mind, which was to bring everyone safely to the refuge their ancestors had mentioned, and then he would not care about anything else.
He doesn't owe anyone anything.
Whoever wants to be the patriarch can be the patriarch!
…
The changes that happened to Guan Laoqi were soon known to Old Lady Xu and others.
Knowing that Guan Laoqi had given up his position as clan leader in a fit of rage, Old Lady Xu smiled. She didn't know what others thought, but she felt that Guan Laoqi had made a wise decision this time.
"Mom, why do you think Uncle Seventh's decision is correct?"
Fubao felt that Guan Laoqi was too impulsive this time.
Old Madam Xu smiled slightly and said, "Silly girl, let me ask you, why doesn't your Seventh Uncle want to continue to be the clan leader?"
"No one listens?"
Fubao blinked.
Well, although she had lived two lives, she had to admit that her understanding of the complexity of the human heart was still in kindergarten.
"If you just talk and no one listens, it's not a big deal!"
Old Mrs. Xu smiled and said, "Your Seventh Uncle is really sad this time. Because, whether it's Guan Lao San or others, they are all plotting against him and using him as a tool!"
Guan Lao San got into trouble and became very successful, but if he lost, given Guan Lao Qi's personality, he would definitely plead for him, at least to protect his family.
Even if Guan Laoqi hadn't thought of this before, he has thought of it now.
The rest of the Guan family, like fence-sitters, wavered from side to side and never stood firm. To them, Guan Laoqi was just a tool in front of them.
When they needed Guan Laoqi, they supported him wholeheartedly, acting as if Guan Laoqi was the only one who could do it.
However, when danger comes, these people will not help Guan Laoqi. They will only wave flags and shout, and don't care what Guan Laoqi thinks.
"Mom, but Uncle Seventh is not the clan leader anymore. How should we handle this?"
Fubao was also conflicted.
Frankly speaking, she felt that people like Guan Lao San deserved to die.
But Guan Laosan and his family probably didn't know about this. In a sense, they shouldn't have been implicated by the actions of Guan Laosan and his group.
But if we think about the problem from another angle, there is another way of saying it: in an avalanche, no snowflake is innocent.
