Chapter 3235
After settling the matter of handing over the clan leader in a few words, Ma Cai could resolve all other clan affairs as trivial matters without Chen Yixin's further intervention.
Chen Yixin didn't even have the patience to wait for Ma Cai to finish handling the complicated clan affairs, so he left the ancestral hall first.
Everyone knew that he was busy with official duties and did not dare to say anything to persuade him to stay. After bowing and sending him away, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Most of them rarely have the opportunity to see Chen Yixin, and Chen Yixin rarely interferes in clan affairs, so everyone is accustomed to treating him as a patron saint who does not eat the fireworks of the world. Although they are in awe, But I don’t know how Chen Yixin handled the matter.
But Chen Yixin's speech just now made everyone truly feel what it means to be powerful without anger. No one dared to refute.
It seemed that they only remembered at this moment that Chen Yixin was now one of the nine people in charge of the Haihan Empire. All the planning and calculations that they racked their brains seemed to be just trivial tricks in front of Chen Yixin.
The small actions that he thought were very secretive in the business process were all under Chen Yixin's control. Chen Yixin usually just ignores these "trivial matters", but it doesn't mean that he doesn't know the specific situation. This is used to punish certain people when necessary.
When Chen Yixin returned home, Ma Yuling asked him if the clan meeting went well.
Chen Yixin knew what his wife was concerned about and responded with a smile: "I'm watching over there, what else are you worried about?"
Ma Yuling said: "Father said that there may be twists and turns in letting the eldest brother take over as the clan leader. After all, there are too many people staring at this person, and there is no chance that someone will jump out and cause trouble at the clan meeting."
Chen Yixin said: "They are just a few clowns, they cannot make much waves!"
Chen Yixin was in a good mood, so he recounted what happened at the clan meeting just now.
After hearing this, Ma Yuling frowned and said, "Since you knew about it beforehand, why don't you just announce the decision on behalf of your father? As long as you speak, you won't have all these troubles, right?"
Chen Yixin has not yet responded, but Chen Ping'er, who listened to their conversation next to her, responded: "Mom, you don't understand. Dad should have done this intentionally."
Chen Yixin said: "Ping'er, tell me what you think."
Chen Ping'er said: "If my father appoints my uncle to take over as the clan leader, of course no one will dare to object. But in this way, there is no way to know who is dissatisfied with the clan leader's appointment. After my uncle takes office, I can't say There will be people working against him secretly.”
"Dad deliberately didn't express his position. These people thought that he was just sitting on the sidelines, so they jumped out to fight for this position, which just happened to expose his position. After uncle takes over, it will be much easier to slowly deal with these restless people! ”
Chen Yixin praised: "Ping'er can see clearly! Yuling, have you seen that my daughter's thoughts are more like mine!"
Ma Yuling said angrily: "Yes, yes, Ping'er is thoughtful, just like you! Ping Liao is reckless, just like me!"
Seeing that his wife was angry, Chen Yixin quickly tried to persuade her: "If you hadn't been reckless and ran away from Majiazhuang, how could we have become a family?" Ma Yuling couldn't help but hear him mention the old things when they met. Recalling the sweetness of his youth, the unhappiness he had just felt disappeared. He stretched out his hand and gave Chen Yixin a gentle blow.
At that time, Ma Dongqiang wanted to seek asylum by marrying Haihan, and intended to recommend his daughter Ma Yuling to Chen Yixin, who had not yet married. After learning about this, Ma Yuling refused to obey her family's arrangements and quietly ran away from home. As a result, she accidentally went to the Fushan Copper Mine, where she met Chen Yixin who was stationed there.
The two fell in love without knowing each other's identity. It was not until later that they learned that the other person was their blind date and they were destined to be together.
However, Ma Yuling's behavior of running away from home was inevitably teased by Chen Yixin repeatedly. Chen Yixin believed that Chen Pingliao's reckless behavior after joining the army was inherited from Ma Yuling's shortcomings.
Seeing that she had calmed down, Chen Yixin got down to business again: "Although eldest brother has taken over as the clan leader, everything is difficult at the beginning, and I will not be in Fushan County during the next period. When you are free, help him keep an eye on each room." The movements of each branch.”
Ma Yuling nodded and said: "Now that we know who is restless, things will be easier to handle. Brother is not a fool and should be able to handle these things."
The scale of the industries the Ma family operates now is too large, and there are too many people who covet these wealth. When Ma Dongqiang was here, he could still rely on the prestige accumulated over the years to suppress some people's ideas, but it can be seen from today's clan meeting , someone is already ready to make a move.
Chen Yixin did not dare to expect that Ma Cai would be able to quickly suppress these restless thoughts after taking office. The war with the Ming Dynasty was about to begin, and many logistical matters had to be borne by the Ma family's property. This must not be tolerated. Not even the slightest flaw.
Although Ma Yuling rarely appears in public, she is Chen Yixin's family member after all, so her words still carry weight, and she can also handle some matters on Chen Yixin's behalf when necessary.
Chen Ping'er said: "Dad, is there any errand I can do?"
Seeing her eagerness to try, Chen Yixin responded with a smile: "You are still young, and outside errands are not suitable for you. If you really want to help dad, then take good care of your mother for dad! When dad is not at home, You have to ensure that she eats well, sleeps well, and doesn’t get sick, let alone get angry, can you do that?”
Like Chen Pingliao, Chen Ping'er was sent to Sanya since she was a child and spent her entire school age there. Her knowledge and insight far exceed those of her peers who were born and raised in Dengzhou.
If Ma Yuling hadn't objected, Chen Yixin would have actually arranged for his daughter to go to the military to train for a few years. But Ma Yuling hopes that Chen Ping'er can stay by her side safely, and when she is almost old, she will find a well-matched family to get married.
Chen Yixin spends less time at home, and even less time to communicate with Chen Ping'er. He also plans to find time to have a good talk with Chen Ping'er to see what his daughter's life plans are. As long as it's not too outrageous, he is willing to support Chen Ping'er to try it.
However, the war is about to begin, and Chen Yixin is about to rush to the front line. This conversation will probably be postponed until some time later.
After the news of Chen Yixin's return to Majiazhuang spread, a long queue formed outside the gate of people who sent invitations to meet and invited Chen Yixin to dinner.
However, Chen Yixin declined all the appointments, even the Ma family was no exception. He will return to the army tomorrow, and he plans to leave all the precious time he has left to his family.
