Reborn I want to be a giant

Chapter 129 You are a sweet potato

Compared with the warmth of Cheng's family on an autumn night, Wu Ying's home is like a mourning hall, full of gloomy clouds and mist.

Today Wu Lingxiu suddenly summoned all the clan members and formally proposed to split the family.Wu Lingzuo naturally opposed it, but Wu Lingxiu came prepared, and his preparations were even more adequate than Wu Ying's back then.

Before Wu Ying had time to understand how Wu Lingxiu managed to separate the family, Wu Yongling and several other clan children came to the house together.It was still because of the 1000 taels allocated by the Guo family to each family.

Wu Yongling and these clan brothers have a good family background. Although they are dissatisfied with Guo's unreasonable demands, they don't want to take the trouble to break up with the clan's family because of their unreasonable demands. give money.

They came to the door today, naturally not for the share they want to pay, but for other clansmen.Most of the clansmen have been living unsatisfactorily these years. It’s fine if they don’t get the support of their clansmen.

There are many people who believe the Zong family's nonsense and live in a daze and tighten their belts, but no matter how foolish they are, there will be a day of enlightenment. Now there are more and more voices of dissatisfaction with the Zong family.

They were talking, Wu Ying listened, if they want to make an idea, if they want money, don't even think about it.After discussing for a long time, several people drank his two pots of good tea, and finally decided that each family would give 5000 taels to help some members of the clan to put them on the mat.Wu Ying was speechless, her throat felt nauseated, she just wanted to throw them out immediately.

This symptom lasted until late at night, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep, as long as you close your eyes, the words Wu Yongling said will automatically replay in your mind...

Cheng Jia
Sleepy-eyed, Cheng Fu picked up a cup of tea and blew on it, then drank half of it, "And then? Didn't you give me the money?"

At this moment, the two sat on the corridor outside the study, talking about the coldness of the autumn night.

"I'm just annoying." That's why he willfully ran to Cheng's house in the middle of the night to chat with the little girl.

Cheng Fu was not impatient, and under the effect of the tea, he became more energetic, "Come with me."

There was an earth dragon in the study, but because Wu Ying came suddenly, all the original heat had dissipated, and Cheng Fu didn't want to disturb the aunt's sweet dreams, so she didn't let anyone burn it.

After sitting in the seat, Cheng Fu spread out a piece of paper, took out one from the wooden box containing charcoal pencils, and then asked Wu Ying, "Who owns the family account?"

"The ancestral hall and the clan each keep a copy."

Cheng Fu quickly recorded, "How many households are there in Jinling?"

"Two or three hundred?" He really didn't count carefully.

Cheng Fu wrote three hundred on the paper, "How many people's support do you expect to win?"

Wu Ying was surprised and didn't dare to guess what the other party was planning, "What are you going to do?"

Cheng Fu raised his hand to tell him to be calm.

"The emperor has several poor relatives, let alone a family like yours. Leaving aside the clan, those with high status in the clan definitely don't want to change, because change means risk, even if it is slight, they will feel uneasy and worry that the power in their hands will be diluted. , wealth accumulation slows down, so they firmly refuse to change. Ordinary clansmen have neither the courage to resist the oppression of the clan, nor are they willing to be the first to eat crabs. Everyone is waiting, pinning their hopes on others Body, wanting to follow the crowd, but was squeezed out by the Zong family, and the lights were exhausted, and there was not even half a hair of the first bird.

Have you paid attention to the clan members who always come to your family, what status they have in the clan, and how their family background is?Is it status and wealth? "

Wu Ying thought about it carefully, and found that it was really the case. Wu Tianyi and Wu Yongling only had a lot of land, real estate, shops, and workshops, and some of them even had docks in their homes.

"You can imagine that your clan has many small circles, and the few people you often meet are all from the same circle." Cheng Fu sneered.

Wu Ying had goosebumps all over her body, and the lingering faces appeared in her mind, each of which suddenly became hideous.

"From their point of view, you are a sweet potato. They have taken the trouble to let you participate in their affairs, in order to gradually assimilate you, and finally fully integrate into their circle. But you are unmarried and have no children, and you have no real estate. , It’s another business aspect for them. Do you know what I was thinking just now? I was thinking that if I were them, I would make you unable to have children, and you would have to adopt a stepchild from them in the future.”

Wu Ying took a deep breath, "Bad girl."

"Did you originally plan to wait for the Wu family to be rotten before making a move? But what else do you want to do with such a Wu family?"

"If you still want the Wu family, then the top priority is to win over all the clansmen you can get while the clan is a monster. Help them revitalize their property, reopen the clan school, and let the children of the clan pay for all food and lodging. No matter male or female, you can enter the school, but those who get merit will be rewarded with 1000 taels, and you will be given a gift at any wedding or funeral. If you want to find a job, you can arrange it for them. When they see that you are good, they will take you Sincerely, I will naturally stand by your side."

"When the time is right, you have two choices. One is to force the current clan to give up the position of patriarch. There is a prerequisite for this. More than [-]% of the clansmen must support you, and more than [-]% remain neutral; Regardless of the current clan, you declare the establishment of the clan yourself, and if you are more courageous, erect the ancestral hall, and then write a petition for the division of the clan property and submit it to the prefect of Jinling to force the government to help you divide the property. If you want to be safe, let the acquaintance The other aristocratic families of yours have stepped forward to back you up."

Cheng Fu spoke earnestly, and Wu Ying listened carefully. The little girl's scheming appearance is awe-inspiring.Yes, Wu Ying felt this way at the moment.

"This is the period when the clan's prestige is at its lowest. The sooner you can pull people's heads, the better. You might as well work hard on the female relatives. The strong men and the old people are too conservative. Some people would rather be sucked dry to maintain the prosperity of the clan. It is difficult to change ignorance in a short period of time, and being too eager will only backfire.

The women take care of the whole family to eat and drink every day, and they know what kind of life they are living.What are they working hard for?child.If someone gives them the hope of getting rid of poverty, their children can afford to study, and they have the opportunity to go up and change their destiny, they will be the most tolerant people in the world.Gods block and kill gods, and Buddhas block and kill Buddhas. "

Wu Ying pondered for a moment, "What if I give up?"

Now it was Cheng Fu's turn to be surprised, she dared to talk for a long time, trying to persuade him to leave.

Wu Ying leaned back, showing a weary smile, "What's so good about the Wu family? I've tried my best to take care of this family. What else can I get except wasting my good time? My parents are gone. Let's fight for this." Is it worth it?"

Originally, he wanted to fight, but he was shaken after witnessing the disputes caused by this year's long-distance race. Whether it is the Wu family or the entire Jiangnan family, their faces are disgusting.And Cheng Fu's plan just now was like a basin of cold water, completely extinguishing his last remaining flame.

How could the Wu family deserve a little girl to waste energy.

"However, I can use your method on one person."

Wu Ying was playing with the two round jade ornaments on Cheng Fu's table, "Wu Lingxiu's family division is suspicious at this juncture; the six-family son and daughter are adult married, he is a father. Don't you think it's strange not to be married to a real wife? And he didn't stop his daughter from being beaten to death... Such a person is so hard-hearted."

Cheng Fu rubbed his chin, "He has a plan." He was about to come out.

"At the beginning when I was leaving the Zong family, he was on my side." Wu Ying had never underestimated Liufang, but now the more she thought about it, the more she felt that Wu Lingxiu was a wonderful person.

Cheng Fu tore up the messy paper and threw it into the wastebasket, "Have you ever thought that you might help someone who crosses the river and demolishes the bridge?" Wu Lingxiu may not necessarily be more suitable to lead the Wu family than Wu Lingzuo.

Wu Ying looked up at the ceiling, and exhaled, "I will negotiate with him. My father's branch will be stripped from the big family tree, and the five clothes will be released officially."

"There's no need to rush to cooperate, just wait a little bit." Wouldn't it be embarrassing if they all misunderstood.

Wu Ying agreed with her idea, "Why don't I go to Beijing and pick up Yan Xingsheng along the way to see if the mountain shed has been built?"

"If you want to leave, hurry up." Xu Ye came in suddenly, holding a pink cloak with a fox fur hat in his hand, and he knew it belonged to the girl's family at a glance.

"The Wen and Guo families have already started liquidating. As far as I know, the Wu family is the first to bear the brunt, and those two families are bound to see the flesh. I heard that the Wu family even has to pay for the money to marry their daughter. I'm afraid it will be the same this time." One or two People of the clan can turn a blind eye when they come to the door, but what about the whole clan, old and weak, seeking support?To help or not to help?At that time, Wu Ying would have no choice.

The little girl put on the cloak obediently, "It's not too late."

Wu Ying left Cheng's house as quickly as possible, arranged for someone to go out of the city at dawn to inform Yan Xingsheng that he was going to Beijing, then called Lin Bang and Ding Tong to his home, explained his itinerary and contact information, and then Wu Zhenyue He was also invited to the study.

Under the doctor's careful treatment, Wu Zhenyue's injury was completely healed without leaving any scars. Because she had nothing to do but eat, drink and sleep every day, she was much prettier than before.She was a little afraid of Wu Ying, but she also knew that the other party was just used to being mean to members of the Wu family.

"I'm going to Beijing soon, will you follow me or stay?" It's hard to say that the Wu family won't take advantage of her at home. If he is not in Jinling, she is always a little dangerous. At least so far, no one in the Zong family wants her to live.If she is found to be in good shape, then there must be another disturbance.

Wu Zhenyue was uneasy, "Why did you go to Beijing suddenly and come back?" She was worried that Wu Ying would marry her off forever.

Wu Ying didn't want to talk nonsense with her, so she told her the clan and the current problems in the clan to make a long story short, and she didn't deliberately avoid Wu Lingxiu's separation.

"I'll go with you." She didn't hesitate any more.

"Go back and pack your bags right away."

On the night Wu Ying left Jinling, the Zong family stole 40 taels of cash, but Wu Lingzuo did not report it to the authorities because he was afraid that people in the clan would know that the Zong family was rich and would no longer support them.But no matter how they checked, seven or eight people died, and no one found out who stole the money.Because part of it was Guo's private house, and part of it was Wu Zhenzhen's dowry money, Guo fell ill in a panic.

These news were sent to Cheng Fu by the person Wu Ying buried in the clan through Ding Tong, and this person knew exactly who stole the money.

The day before Wu Ying left Jinling, Wu Zhenrou returned to Hangzhou from Jinling, but in fact she didn't go far, and lived in the Wen family's Jinling Zhuangzi.Her confidant and Guo's confidant Li Yingwai stole 40 taels, avoiding everyone in the Wu family with familiarity, and delivered it to her smoothly.

The wonderful thing is that among the servants who were executed behind Wu Lingzuo, the real insider was not among them, and he was still working safely in the Wu family.
