After the old patriarch of the Li family was buried from Li Mountain, he called several old people of the older generations to discuss the affairs of the Li Shan family. A few old guys agreed and disagreed. The reason for agreeing is that Li Xiao has already gone up the mountain, and she is the ancestral tomb of the eldest grandson of the third room to keep filial piety and worship. At this time, if he didn't agree, Li Xiao couldn't go up the mountain, what did he do a long time ago. Those few who disagreed said that there was no such rule, and there was not no male child in the family, so if a granddaughter opened a house to inherit the family business, and if it was passed on, the Li family would be laughed at. And she is a female child in charge of the Li Shan family, and she will still have to rely on the clan in the future, and the trouble will be endless at that time. Even after arguing for a few days, there was no result. The old patriarch let his son open the ancestral hall. Let everyone talk about it.

The seventh day after Li Shan's burial. The Li family opened an ancestral hall.

The Li family Sanwang, Sixi, Wufu and Li Xiao went to the ancestral hall. The ancestral hall can only be entered by men, and women are not allowed to enter, unless it is a woman who has sealed the official body can enter the ancestral hall. So the old lady of the Li family and the three daughters-in-law did not go over.

The old patriarch sat at the top, and the old people in the clan sat below, all of whom were grandfathers and grandfathers. Patriarch Li stood beside the old patriarch.

Sanwang took his brothers in to meet the elders.

Sanwang said: "On behalf of the Li Shan family, I want to open an extra room and pass on Li Xiaoguo." He was established as the eldest grandson of the third room and managed the family business of the Li Shan family until the three rooms were separated." When the old patriarch saw Sanwang's speech and demeanor, he also thought in his heart, this big grandson is very good. Why does Li Shan have to let a girl be in charge.

The old patriarch said: "I think everyone is clear about this matter, and everyone can also talk about their thoughts?" “

There was a lot of discussion among the clan uncles, some who agreed and some who disagreed.

The old patriarch asked: "Everyone knows about Li Shan's burial, if you don't agree, why don't you go up and stop it?" Since the girl of the Li Shan family has already gone up the mountain, now everyone disagrees, is it too late?"

The people stopped talking, thinking that they wanted to go up to stop them, and some of them did go up. But the girl of the Li family is a killing god, and her grandson is afraid to die, crying and shouting to pull them away, what can they do.

The old patriarch asked, "Little girl Li, what do you think?" ”

Li Xiao said: "The three rooms of the Li family are grandpa's wishes, and I will do what grandpa wants." The third room will not take a penny from the second room of the Li Shan family, although now the family business of the second room of the big house is in my hands, and when my two brothers reach the age of eighteen, I will hand over the property in my hands. I will buy the family business of my third room for future generations, and in the future, I will either leave it to my children or share it with my brothers, it is my Li Xiao's own business, and I hope that the clan will not interfere too much when the time comes."

The ancestral hall was quiet and then boiled again. Some people say that this is simply a big talk, is it so easy to buy a family business? Some people say that she is young and vigorous. Some people say that she is a newborn calf and is not afraid of tigers. Some people also say that the girl doesn't understand anything, and how to carry a house without relying on her uncle and brother. Various sounds filled the entire ancestral hall. Only a few of the Li Shan family and the old patriarch were silent.

Li Xiao spoke again: "Please be quiet, I haven't finished my words yet." “

The old patriarch motioned for everyone to be quiet and listened to her finish. Li Xiao said: "From today on, my big name is Li Qing, and my little name is Li Xiao. I am in charge of the Li Shan family, as my name suggests, to be clear as water, impartial. My third room will also go straight up. Now that Li Shan's family is under my control, if you are willing to come and go, you can continue to do so. I think that I, Li Qing, have no ability to carry the Li Shan family, and I will not be dragged down by me, so everyone will stay away and not get along. As soon as the words fell, the people below began to say, this is too rampant, this is not necessary for our help, right?

The old patriarch looked at the people in the seat and asked, "What do you think?"

One of the clan elders said: "I think the girl of the Li family said it very well, since people don't need the help of the clan, this is the best." I'll just leave it at that, if they can get their lives on their own, it's best. If the family is ruined by a woman, don't say that the clan doesn't help them. It's really their Li Shan family who is willing to find a female doll to be in charge."

The old patriarch asked Li Xiao, "Did you hear clearly?" If you take charge of the Li Shan family, the clan will not take care of your family's affairs in the future. If you don't belong to this family, if anything happens to you orphans and widows, the clan will help. Let's go over and talk about it."

Everyone was very satisfied when they saw that the old patriarch was very polite, and they were not optimistic about Li Xiao's people. People who have a good relationship with Li Shan's family are very anxious. I think it's better not to let Li Xiao be in charge.

Li Xiao walked aside with his brother and asked, "Third brother, fourth brother, fifth brother, can I take care of the family well?" ”

Sanwang said: "Fifth sister, I don't know what our family will become in the end, but I believe in you."

Sixi then said, "I believe in you too."

Li Xiao looked at Wufu again, Wufu didn't expect Li Xiao to ask him. said excitedly: "I listen to the fourth brother."

Li Xiao led everyone back to the middle. said: "Please patriarch grandpa, help me on the family tree."

The old patriarch said, "Okay, this matter has been decided, and there is no need to talk about it in the future." Take the genealogy, I'll fill in this room, Li Qing, you are the son of the third room of the Li Shan family from today onwards, and you are in charge of the Li family. I hope you don't disappoint Li Shan. ”

Li Xiao nodded yes, thank the old patriarch.

Li Xiao returned to Li's house with his brothers and told Mrs. Li about the process of separating the family. When Mrs. Li heard that the Li family would not care about the Li Shan family in the future, she felt that she was too anxious and regretted whether she was wrong. Xiulan was also very scared when she heard it, if there was no protection from the clan, what would happen in the future. Sanniang cried and said that Li Xiao was a scourge, and the Li family was going to be finished, so she kept saying that the four joys and five blessings didn't stop her. In the end, Sanniang ran to the yard and said that she must make trouble in the clan, this matter can't be left like this, and let the clan divide the Li family now.

Li Xiao grabbed Sanniang's wrist at the gate and said, "Second aunt said that these are useless. I still want to think about how to keep to myself in the future and please me. I've gone on the family tree. The patriarch of the Li family also said that he would not care about the affairs of the Li Shan family in the future. I said that when my brother is old, I will divide them up, but if you make me unhappy, I will take the Li family and not divide it, it's not impossible. After Li Xiao finished speaking, he shook off Sanniang's hand and went back to the house.

When Sanniang heard this, she immediately quieted down. I stood in the courtyard for half an hour before I went back to my room.

Sanwang persuaded Xiulan in the room, "Mother, what do you think, what did the clan help us with?" When the village was hit by the disaster, everyone fled, where were the people? Later, I was held hostage by refugees, where are my people? Not to mention the clansmen, even my father and mother were not by my side at that time."

Xiulan listened and was ashamed of her son. Wiping his tears, he said, "I just didn't want to open it for a while." Wuya will take care of the house, and your father arranged it like this at that time. I just didn't expect the people in the clan to be so ruthless, and I was willing to ignore you children."
