Chapter 150: An Unexpected Death
Hearing Hang Xuezhen's scolding, several of her cousins, especially Hang Guozhen, Hang Tianzhen and other younger generations of family members reacted the most. 『』
Instead of feeling guilty and restrained, they fought back indignantly.
"Fifth sister, you are not the same kind of person as us, you can't understand what kind of inhuman treatment we have received in the past!"
"Yes, the old man used to love you as a baby, carefully pinched in his hands, and cared for in his heart, he is your most beloved grandfather. But in our eyes, he is a tyrant, a ruthless and unrighteous old stubborn. ”
"Now that he is dead, you can cry to him and mourn his death deeply, but you have no right to accuse us of the joy in our hearts!"
"Haha, I want to pretend to be sad too, but I can't help it, I'm really happy."
"You ......"
Hang Xuezhen was speechless for a while, but she was powerless to refute their response, and her heart burned with the grief of despair and loss.
She suddenly thought back to the past, just as they described, the old man usually did not smile, and behaved in a strange and harsh way, especially to the juniors below who were very strict and mean.
In the family, the old man is not treated equally, and among his only beloved children, only Hang Chao and Hang Xuezhen and the missing brother are left.
What Hang Xue really wants, what he doesn't want, the old man can almost meet their requirements. Even if he made a mistake, the old man scolded a few words at most, and it was enough to express it.
On the other hand, the children of other families are treated differently.
The Hang family's industry is as rich as the country, but the children of these families are strictly controlled by the old man in terms of expenses, and they are not allowed to be extravagant and wasteful, and cause trouble outside.
If you do a little wrong, or say something wrong, you will either be severely reprimanded by the old man in front of the court, or you will be kicked out of the Hangjia Castle and sent to work part-time in the branches of the Hangjia family all over the country.
Once they can't make a difference, they will never come back, leaving them to fend for themselves in other places.
Coupled with the old man's advanced age and longevity, he has ruled the power inside and outside the Hang family for many years, which makes the descendants below very dissatisfied with his harsh and polarized treatment.
However, the old man has the power of the family, and even if they are not satisfied, they can only endure the submission and obedience.
Over the long term, this kind of dissatisfaction and resentment has become deeper and deeper, and there is no longer the affection of flesh and blood. Some of the bolder family members tried to resist the old man's oppression, and secretly worked against the old man, hoping to win more benefits.
Especially in recent years, as the grandfather gets older and older, his body has become more and more slow and aging, and he has relied on the assistance of medical equipment all year round to walk normally.
It is precisely for this reason that they saw hope and accelerated the pace of seizing power.
However, the dead camel is still bigger than the horse. As long as the old man is alive for a day, their small actions will not dare to come blatantly, and they can only move cautiously in secret.
With the death of the old man, the mountain that had been pressing on their heads for a long time finally moved away, and these people could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Among all the people present, Ma Lie was the only one who knew what the old man had done before he died.
He was now more curious than shocked.
The old man, who was fine just now, why did he die suddenly?
Is he really dead or is he faking death?
You must know that the old man is also going to act in a play for these unfilial descendants.
Ma Lie just couldn't figure it out, and looked at the group of animals in front of him who had gone crazy in a daze, and he didn't feel a taste in his heart.
Thinking back to the qi just now, before he opened the glass door, Old Man Hang was assisted by the true qi emitted by Ma Lie's body, and his spiritual aura slowly improved, and he could even move freely.
Even, the old man said that he wanted to play a play with these disdainful children and grandchildren. Who knows, the old man passed away silently?
Ma Lie also probed the tip of his nose with his own hands, and indeed stopped breathing. In addition, cautious people like Hang Tianxiong have confirmed it, so basically, the old man has really passed away.
It's really a trick!
Old man Hang originally wanted to give these unfilial descendants a big gift, but he didn't expect his old man to be too deep in the play, and he really gave them a big gift.
However, the nature of the gift has changed!
"Ma Lie, what should I do?" At this time, Hang Xue was really more confused than Ma Lie, and her expectant gaze turned to Ma Lie.
It was her grandfather who passed away the most caring and beloved. These uncles and brothers have gone crazy, and in turn, without the support of her grandfather, where will she go in the future?
Of course, Ma Lie felt her mood at the moment, without the support of Old Man Hang, Ma Lie's situation was even more difficult.
Prior to this, Old Man Hang deliberately pushed him to the confrontation with Hang Tianxiong and others, and the two sides estimated that there was no possibility of reconciliation.
From this point of view, the old man was playing a very deep game of chess, and he knew that he was dying, so he entrusted Hang Xuezhen to Ma Lie?
"Uncles and brothers!" After a short period of madness, Hang Tianxiong, who was usually the most rigorous, took the lead in relieving himself from his excitement and said loudly: "Please be quiet and listen to me!" ”
Among the Hang clan, except for Old Man Hang, Hang Tianxiong has the strongest prestige and ability.
As soon as he shouted, the people in the room fell silent.
Hang Tianxiong nodded with satisfaction and continued: "Although it is a little inappropriate for me to say these words at this time, in order to maintain the operation of the entire family, I must say it in advance. ”
"Fifth Uncle, you have always been the hope of the family, the totem of the family. If you have anything to say, just say it! A young and squeamish, suspicious family member suddenly asked.
Hang Tianxiong was very satisfied with his cooperation, and said loudly: "Well, since ancient times, the country cannot be without a king for a day, and the family cannot be without an owner for a day. ”
"If the old man is still alive, our Hang family is still monolithic. Now, the old man has unfortunately passed away, and the family has no one in charge, and the affairs inside and outside the family must be greatly affected. ”
"Therefore ......"
Hang Tianxiong looked around at everyone and saw that everyone's eyes were full of expectation, and it was estimated that the next words were the topic they were most concerned about.
"In order to ensure that the affairs of the family are not affected by the death of the old man and can operate normally, we must elect a new family leader to lead our Hang family to continue to move forward!"
"Fifth uncle, that's a good point!"
As soon as Hang Tianxiong's words fell, he immediately got a response from most people.
"Yes, the family can't be left without an owner for a day, we must do our best to choose a new master!"
"Support the newly elected patriarch!"
"Do you still need to choose, I think in the family, the fifth uncle is the strongest, and the new patriarch will be the fifth uncle!"
"Well, the only thing I'm convinced of is the fifth uncle, and I support the fifth uncle as the patriarch!"
"Okay, raise your hand to support the fifth uncle as the patriarch!"
Soon, most of the people raised their arms under the positive response of this to.
Hang Tianxiong hid his excitement, still maintained a calm expression on his face, and said modestly: "Thank you brothers and nephews for your love in Taiwan, but how can I, Hang Wu, be able to take on this heavy responsibility." ”
"Alas, Fifth Uncle, don't shirk it, the family's first qiē can't be delayed!"
"This... No, I can't! ”
"Fifth uncle, if you don't take this responsibility, I'd rather die than give in!"
"Naive, you want to push me to a dead end, don't you?"
Hang Tianxiong's singing and singing together is the most typical set of words for successors and recommenders. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that they are acting, and their acting skills are not very good.
Besides, this active Hang Tianzhen is good-looking, and he likes to stick to Hang Tianxiong since he was a child, and the relationship between the two is usually the best.
Under the active promotion of Hang Tianzhen and others, Hang Tianxiong's inheritance of the family unification was almost expected by everyone, and was supported by most people, and not too many people objected.
However, they forget one fact.
As early as a few years before the death of Old Man Hang, the two generations of heirs of the family had already been determined.
If Old Man Hang dies, his successor will be Hang Chao, the successor of Old Man Hang, and after Hang Chao, Hang Xuezhen.
Although Hang Chao's ability to run the family can be ignored, there is certainly no doubt about his identity as the successor.
Unexpectedly, they didn't bother to do the surface work, and directly excluded Hang Chao's father and daughter. Only a small number of neutral family members were indignant, including Ma Lie.
Although Ma Lie was not a child of the Hang family, when he thought of the entrustment that Old Man Hang had entrusted him before his death, he felt that he had something to say.
"I'm against it!"
Unexpectedly, when Ma Lie was pondering how to speak the most appropriately, another person jumped out to oppose it first.
In the midst of all the favors, there are still people who dare to jump out against it, it must be a not simple master.
Sure enough, it was none other than Hang Guozhen, the little bully of the Hang family who loved to cause trouble the most.
Seeing the implementation of Hang Tianxiong's heir, Hang Guo really felt that he had suffered a loss, and jumped out unwillingly, questioning: "Everyone is right, the fifth uncle's ability is indeed very strong, but it is only limited to external causes. ”
"The fifth uncle has been working in the capital for many years, although he has made certain achievements. However, whether he is familiar with the internal affairs of the Hang family remains to be tested, and it is probably counterproductive to take over the head of the family in a hurry. ”
Hang Tianzhen glanced at it coldly and asked, "Then according to the meaning of the third brother, besides the fifth uncle, who else is the most suitable?" ”
"Of course it'......" Hang Guozhen originally wanted to say that he was the most suitable, but when he thought about it, he felt that his seniority didn't seem to be enough, and if he recommended himself, they would definitely unanimously oppose it, and the gains outweighed the losses.
In order to get the greatest benefit, he can only recommend his closest person, that is, his father Hang Guodong.
Hang Guodong's original name was Hang Tong, the fourth in the second generation of men in the Hang family, and he was Hang Tianxiong's brother. Seniority is enough, but the problem remains
