Lucky Star Gao Zhao

Chapter 279

Wan Zuoshang is the eldest son of the patriarch and will be the patriarch in the future. He is over 25 years old and already has a son and a daughter.

He helped his father up, walked out of the ancestral hall, and said, "Father, just agree to Aunt Zheng's request."

"What do you say? She came to see you?"

Wan Zuoshang shook his head and said: "No, father, my son wants to take this opportunity to get rid of his uncle. Our eldest son can no longer be controlled by his uncle, otherwise the whole Wan family will be ruined, and our family will also be brought into trouble by my uncle." .”

The patriarch was taken aback, and he told his sons that he couldn't deal with his uncle's family, otherwise he didn't know how he died.

"Is something wrong with your brother?"

Wan Zuoshang shook his head, nodded again, and said, "If Father doesn't think about it, the third child will have to be like the fifth child in my uncle's family."

The patriarch was so frightened that he tightened his son's sleeves. He had just read Wan Laowu's confession and knew what he had done. If his son got involved, it would be over.

"Did the third child do that too?"

"The third child hid at home in fright after his cousin died. He just drank flowers and wine with the fifth child, and the fifth child didn't tell him too much. He just used money to coax the third child to play, but the third child felt that The fifth child did something bad behind his back, he told me, I was afraid that father would punish him for hiding it, but father, the third child regretted it, and said he would never hang out with the fifth child again, but father, if you can prevent it for a while, you will not be able to prevent it for a lifetime Why don't we agree to Aunt Zheng's request, if my uncle wants to quarrel with us, take this opportunity to quarrel with him, we must quarrel in front of the whole county, and let everyone know that our branch and uncle are not on the same road, Dad, do you know that we What's the reputation of the Wan family outside? Uncle wooed those clan elders, relying on their seniority, ruined the reputation of the Wan family, and he lost his money, so we will follow suit."

The patriarch hesitated, he was afraid that the Wan family would make a fool of themselves in front of everyone, and wouldn't their reputation get worse?

"Father, I know that you are kind and always want to protect the reputation of the Wan family, but if you maintain it, the reputation of the Wan family will be fine? Isn't it getting worse and worse? My son has no face to say hello to others when he goes out, and a few friends are cut off. After contacting, there is someone who said that people with no morals should not make friends. Father, the Wan family is not living behind closed doors, how will the children and grandchildren deal with it in the future? Why is it more and more difficult for the cousins ​​behind to meet each other? Father, I don't want my son to be able to marry a wife because of this, and have to deceive foreigners to marry one."

The patriarch was moved by his son. Thinking about it, the Wan family was a big family in the past, otherwise the Zheng family would not have married their daughter in. Now let alone a big family, even a small family would not want to marry the Wan family.

Wan Zuo Shang struck while the iron was hot, and said, "Father, I will go to the yamen with Aunt Zheng tomorrow to settle this matter, so what can uncle do? If he wants to quarrel, let him quarrel, he has no right to interfere in the affairs of the clan."

"Then if he brings those clan elders here, what will father do?"

"It won't happen this time. The commotion outside is so fierce, and outsiders say that the Wan family is not. Who dares to stand on the side of uncle? Aunt Zheng can say it outside. She has to account for all the people in the clan for so many years." , Dad told Aunt Zheng to spit out all the things they took, to see if they still have the face to make a fuss?"

In the end, the patriarch agreed, and after helping his father back to the house, Wan Zuoshang heaved a sigh of relief, fearing that his stubborn father would refuse his proposal under the pretext of saying it was for the good of the clan.

Wan Zuoshang has long looked down on his uncle's actions, but he is powerless, he can't even say anything to his father, how can he influence the clan elders?

Back then he liked Yao Yueru, but Yao Yueru said that you all wanted to eat my cousin's family and it wasn't enough.Want to eat their orphans and widows?Her family has no money.

He said that he hated his uncle and the others to death. If they hadn't been greedy and ruined the Wan family's reputation, would Yao Yueru reject him?
This time it was Yao Yueru's mother who found him and asked him for help, saying that Yueru knew that he had a good heart and hoped that he could support the Wan family in an upright manner.

After Wan Zuo Shang explained to his father, he went to the hometowns of several clans one by one, saying that the Wan Zheng family would give each of them a sum of money, but he just asked not to stand on the side of his uncle, otherwise everyone would be in trouble, and no one would be left behind. Not good.

Those clan elders just followed Wan Zefang to get some benefits, but now they know that they didn't get much benefit, instead they were complained by the family's descendants, and couldn't marry a good wife.

Hearing Wan Zuoshang's intention of coming, it must be the meaning of the patriarch, and he can get a sum of money, so they immediately nodded in agreement.

Early the next morning, Patriarch Wan and Wan Laoshi went to the yamen to go through the formalities of dividing the clan. The Wan Zheng family followed, and the trustworthy Wan Zefang rushed to stop him. Such a big deal.

County magistrate Zhang sent people to the clan's hometown. One went out and said that his son was in charge of something.

County magistrate Zhang said that the minority obeys the majority, and Wan Laoguai's opinion can be ignored.

Wan Zefang slapped Patriarch Wan on the spot, saying that he had no respect for his elders, and that he was nothing more than taking advantage of Wan Zheng's family.

Wan Zuoshang stopped in front of his father, and said with a pale face: "If my family takes the benefits of Aunt Zheng, let me cut off my sons and grandchildren! After so many years, whoever takes Aunt Zheng's will know! Why Aunt Zheng wants to divide the clan, the county Who doesn't know?"

After finishing speaking, Wan Zuo Shang knelt down in front of Wan Laoshi and his wife, "Uncle, aunt, the nephew is also the nephew of the uncle after the division. As long as the nephew knows what the uncle and aunt will do in the future, the nephew will never stand idly by. From now on, Ruonan will be my niece." , I will protect her, and no one will bully my daughter of the Wan family! Auntie, don’t worry, I, Wan Zuoshang, swear in front of adults: If I covet every cent of my auntie, no one will collect my body in the future!”

This was the most ruthless swear, Wan Zheng pulled him up with tears on his face.

Wan Zuo Shang bowed his head and said, "I'm sorry, Auntie."

"It's not your fault, good boy, Auntie doesn't blame you, she only hates that shameless person who hurt me..."

Wan Zheng wailed and couldn't go on, and couldn't speak.

Wan Zefang stepped forward and held Wan Honest by the neck and asked anxiously, "Are you so useless? Let a woman be the master?"

Wan honestly didn't dare to refute a word, he just shook his head.

Wan Zefang shook Wan Laoshi away vigorously, and then glanced at Wan Zuoshang bitterly, but was slapped in the eye by this kid, just wait and see!
He flicked his sleeves and turned to leave, but was stopped by a yamen servant.

"You want to leave without kowtowing to the adults?"

Wan Zefang looked up at County Magistrate Zhang, generally at his age, if the county magistrate treated him politely, he would be exempted from kneeling, otherwise he would have to kneel before an official, unless he had a reputation as a scholar.

County magistrate Zhang didn't say anything, so Wan Zefang had no choice but to kneel down and kowtow before leaving.

Gao Wenlin looked at the shivering Wan Laoshi and shook his head. If it wasn't for his family being present, Wan Zheng probably wouldn't let him come forward, but if he came forward, no one would ask him a question except for the old monster Wan. Shi was able to be there today, but the county magistrate was not accommodating, and she would not be able to come in.

Gao Wenlin thought to himself: If this is my son-in-law, I will let my daughter remarry no matter what.
