Chapter 469 Shu Yao’s Decision
The crescent moon is like a hook, hanging quietly on the branches of the trees, with stars twinkling in the sky.
The hall of the main courtyard was brightly lit. My grandfather, four uncles, four aunts and a dozen cousins were all sitting there, quietly listening to Shuyao's narration of Su Yunting's words.
"Grandpa, uncles, aunts, Erlang means that if you are willing, he will take a few cousins with him next time he goes to sea."
The uncles looked at each other. , this is not a matter of not being able to go to sea, this is a major matter that affects the lives of the entire clan!
Grandfather, who was sitting above, lit a pipe and took a few puffs.
The green smoke curled up, making it difficult for people to see his expression clearly.
"Shu Yao, what do you think?"
Shu Yao has already thought about it: "If I am the only one, I will definitely follow Erlang at all costs. But this matter About maternal uncles, aunts and cousins I definitely can’t make decisions for you.”
The uncle took a look at his three sons. They were all tall and didn’t look like southerners at all. They had followed him on the boat early. Water-based is first-rate.
But their whole life is over at a glance.
"Dad, when people move to death, trees move to life. Sail against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. I looked at General Gu Nanxi and saw that huge flood! You can give it a try!" The uncle spoke first.
The second uncle clenched his fists and retorted: "You only look at the good side, why don't you see the bad side? Su Erlang has made it clear that if the matter fails, our whole family will have to flee. Go to an island, if things are done, we Don't get caught up in that kind of fight!"
Shu Yao corrected: "No, Erlang has no intention of competing."
Second uncle: "Where are the people in the play? I said, there is no father or son in the heavenly family!”
The third uncle muttered in a low voice: "Even if we don't participate in this matter, as long as Shu Yao and Su Erlang get married, our whole family will not be able to escape from this kind of thing!"
The fourth uncle nudged and grabbed the third uncle's wrist. On his neck, he said fiercely: "What do you mean? Do you want me to You Shuyao regretted your marriage! Before we got married, I didn’t believe you had any idea! Now that things have come to an end, you should be cautious!”
“Fourth brother, let go!” The husband's face turned red and his neck was thick when he was grabbed, and he hurriedly stepped forward to pull him away.
"Fourth brother, isn't what your third brother said right? Yes, we knew that the general had such an idea at the time, but at that time the general only got a small Yunzhou. Who would have thought that she could really You have such ability!”
The second aunt was holding a handkerchief to wipe it. Tears: "We have all lived such a long life, and we will risk our lives at all costs, but your nephews are still young! My second oldest just got married this year! Not to mention what will happen in the future, just go to a deserted place On the island, who knows if I can come back alive?”
The second uncle saw that the third brother was no match for the fourth brother, so he came over to try to distract him: "Fourth brother, you are too impulsive. Do you still remember that the person in front of you is your third brother?!"
Fourth The uncle's eyes were red and he looked back at the second brother fiercely: "Then Do you remember my little sister? I’m just a child. What are you doing here?”
The fourth uncle glanced at the third brother and the second brother. The second sister-in-law and the third sister-in-law raised the corner of Shuyao's mouth to reveal a hint of sarcasm.
“When you agreed to get married, you just thought you would get benefits. As for the risks brought by the general, you think it is unfounded. Now that the general really has the courage and strength, you should retreat! I really look down upon you!”
II The aunt frowned and said displeasedly: "Fourth brother, don't say so harshly. If you don't care for yourself, you will be punished by heaven and earth. Our Shuyao is a capable person, so if she gets a good marriage, I will naturally be happy for her! If this marriage, If it means the lives of my family, I really don’t want to take advantage of it.”
The third sister-in-law waved to her sons to come to her.
“Yes, my son is my life! I don’t even want them to run away on a boat, how could I let them go to the island?! I just hope they are safe, even if they are a small businessman, As long as you stay by my side, I will be satisfied."
Shu Yao sat at the end, calmly watching her uncle and aunt who were so doting on her, quarreling over this matter.
At this moment, Shuyao suddenly understood Su Yunting’s words that human nature cannot withstand the test.
It is true that my uncle and aunt love me, but it is also true that they think more about their own family. There is no right or wrong, just human nature.
Seeing that several brothers were about to fight over this matter, my grandfather, who was sitting at the top, banged the table several times with his cigarette pole: "That's enough, make a joke in front of the juniors! All of them!" Sit down!”
The uncles returned to their seats reluctantly.
The atmosphere in the lobby was so stagnant that it made people breathless.
"Okay, what's the fuss about? Each of the ten fingers has its own length, and everyone has his or her own ambitions." My grandfather took a deep breath of dry tobacco and choked until he coughed.
"Grandpa!"
Grandpa waved his hands and said that he was fine: "Boss, go find all the clan elders tomorrow. We want to separate clans!"
What? ? ! Split into clans? !
“How can this be possible?! We haven’t even divided our families, how can we directly divide our clans??” The second uncle’s face was bruised and red.
These days, if there are elderly people at home, even if they have grandchildren, they rarely separate the family.
Those who have separated families usually have disharmony in their families.
This is great! The old man didn't even divide the families, he directly proposed to divide the clans!
Isn’t this nonsense? !
The old man raised his eyelids slightly and looked at his sons with cloudy eyes: "The big branches are lush and leafy, and it's time to branch out! This matter is of great importance. Rather than let it be forced The melons are not sweet, so we might as well go our separate ways!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the old man’s eyes suddenly became sharp. He was filled with a terrifying aura of being calm and self-defeating: "The ugly words are ahead. If one word of the conversation here today spreads out, I don't care who it is, it will all be over with a glass of poisonous wine!"
The second aunt was so frightened by the old man's sharp eyes that she trembled and lowered her head involuntarily.
Everyone said in unison: "I know, Dad!"
"I know, Grandpa!"
......
It was just dawn and the sky was bright. My uncle walked on the dew and took a boat back to Huaiyang.
Although the clan elders who were brought in were puzzled, they still respected their grandfather's decision. Within three days, the matter of dividing the clan was settled.
The eldest uncle and fourth uncle's family were separated separately. Although they are still listed in the Chen family tree, they belong to a separate branch. Even if they commit crimes that implicate the nine clans in the future, they will only end up with them.
After the division of clans, the second uncle and the third uncle's family took their grandfather on the boat back to Huaiyang. They had to go back and submit the remaining procedures to the government for filing.
My uncle and fourth uncle did not come to the pier to see each other off, only Shuyao stood alone on the pier...
My Chinese medicine finally arrived...drink it quickly, this week The decline in status is too serious. The doctor said it was related to the heavy snowfall in the Northeast, which made me so cold and tired.
A blizzard put me in a bad state a few months ago...
