Chapter 48 Decisions
The stalemate between the grandfather and grandson could not be broken for a long time.
Everyone spent a whole day and a night with them, Liu Fuguan tried all kinds of methods, begging, pretending to be sick, scolding angrily, all the clan elders took turns to persuade, and finally Liu Fuguan even completely put down his body, and began to reminisce about the past with a handful of snot and tears, crying that he was old and had buried half of his body in the loess......
Liu Huairan couldn't stand it, relented, and quietly persuaded Liu Heng. It's a pity that in the end, Liu Heng still gritted his teeth and stubbornly resisted, and no one could make him change his original intention.
Liu Heng has Liu Heng's persistence. But for Liu Fuguan, now his only hope is Liu Heng's return, he has been so ruthless that he has cut off all his retreats, if Liu Heng does not come back to the clan, his inheritance will be really empty, unless he goes to succeed others again.
But he didn't want to.
In private, Liu Fuguan revealed to Liu Heng the secret that the Liu clan should have only revealed to the new patriarch when it was inherited, and told him that if he hadn't waited for Liu Heng, he would have planned to take this secret to the grave.
In this way, after seeing the huge wealth secretly inherited by the Liu family, Liu Heng failed to impress Liu Heng, and Liu Heng said that his determination was made. It is impossible to change it.
Liu Fuguan almost ran out of breath.
He deeply felt that this was his retribution for not being able to live up to his original partner back then. In the end, Liu made a decision that was inconceivable to everyone.
He decided to take the original tablet to get rid of the clan and follow the Liu Heng branch.
Even Liu Heng was surprised by his decision. But this time he didn't say no. Because in the face of his grandfather's compromise, he couldn't say no.
After discussing with Liu Heng, Liu Fuguan finally decided to select one person from among the children and grandchildren of Liu Qi Taiye to pass on the position of patriarch, and leave the exercises and secrets of the Liu clan that were only passed on to the patriarch to the new patriarch.
However, after all, people are selfish. The things in the secret room Liu Weiguan still decided to take half of it. Liu Heng did not object, the Liu family still has a lot of good things in the hundreds of years of inheritance, although he is not short of silver, but he is not such a selfless person, and it is natural for him to take half of it away and leave it to his children and grandchildren.
In front of Liu Fuguan, Liu Heng used the storage bag to collect about half of the wealth he had picked up, and then pinched the spirit trick to eliminate the traces in the secret room, and Liu Fuguan couldn't close his mouth in shock.
At that moment, he suddenly felt that this time he had made the right decision, and this grandson of his had a big secret. He wasn't in a hurry, and even if he couldn't find out what the secret was in the end, he could finally put his mind at ease.
Regarding the wealth collected by Liu Heng, Liu Weiguan directly waved his hand, saying that he would not care about those things and let Liu Heng dispose of them. Now that he knew that Liu Heng had such a mysterious ability to collect things, Liu Fuguan was not polite, and asked Liu Heng to collect all the things in his private vault.
His private treasury was actually occupied by the Liu family a long time ago and became Liu's private treasury, but in the end it returned to his hands, not only most of his things were there. Coupled with the loot that the Liu family has looted over the years and her dowry back then, it is full of stuff.
These Liu Fuguan were all laughed at without politeness, and they didn't plan to leave it to Liu's two sons at all, he could let Liu's sons take away their own private rooms, even if it was generous, hmph, they all went out, what does they have to do with him? Good things should naturally be kept for their own grandchildren. So on the whole, he didn't suffer a loss, and he got more than twice as much as what he had back then.
The important decision was reached, Liu Fuguan stayed to deal with the follow-up, and Liu Heng went back directly with Liu Huairan.
The clan elders in the clan could only sigh when they saw that they couldn't stay. Later, I watched Liu Heng's branch develop better and better, and when the Zhou Kingdom became more and more prominent. Looking back and thinking about it, I feel that my family can't share that kind of glory, which is inseparable from the ruthlessness of Liu's mother and son.
Even though Liu Hua and Liu Yao had been out for many years at that time, the people of the Liu family still angered them. In addition, Liu Hua has offended many people openly and secretly during the years when he was the patriarch, and those who stammered them back then were also the most powerful group of people who bullied them in the end.
The wall fell and everyone pushed it. Their descendants are struggling in the clan, and those who have been suppressed by all kinds have no possibility of getting ahead, but they dare not easily break away from the clan.
It is always better to have the protection of the clan than nothing, and the people in the clan have a degree of bullying, and if outsiders dare to bully them, they will still protect them. If you get out of the clan protection, maybe a little official can ride on your head and. If you don't know who you don't feel guilty, you may not know who did it.
As for the Liu family, Liu Fuguan didn't take her to Mumao Villa, he directly threw her to a small grange, and sent his henchmen to press her every day to get up early every day to pour night incense and brush the toilet for the mother-in-law and maids in the village, and she had to go to the fields to do farm work during the day and go to the kitchen to wash the dishes at night.
The Liu family grew up with gold and dignity since he was a child, not to mention pouring night incense and brushing the toilet. I've never seen it, and the toilets she's seen have always been clean with gold paint. People who have used the toilet will avoid her when they clean it, for fear that they will hit her.
At the beginning, she refused to touch it, but she annoyed the mother-in-law who was guarding her, and the mother-in-law knew that her master was intent on rectifying her, and she also explained that she had to remind her of the identity of Liu's concubine from time to time, and she could be dealt with as much as she was done on weekdays, as long as she didn't die. So he didn't relent, and directly lifted the night incense from a toilet bowl and poured it on Liu's head, and warned her that if she was not convinced, the night fragrance would not be poured on her head, but directly poured into her mouth.
Liu was not allowed to bathe for a whole day, with a stench all over his body, and the work he should do was the same, and he had no food to eat.
Sure enough, the wicked also need the wicked to grind, so far, the Liu family really recognized the situation, and even if he hated itchy, he didn't dare to resist anymore.
That's all for later.
An Ruyi heard that Liu Heng used the storage bag in front of Liu Fuguan without scruples, and couldn't help but look at him with a smile.
Liu Heng sighed: "I don't want to return to the clan, except for the fact that they were wronged, knowing that my father and mother were wronged, and I stood by and got angry." There is a more important reason that the Liu family has developed for hundreds of years, and now the whole family has long been accustomed to the days of wealth and comfort, and there is no self-motivation. Especially in the more than ten years that Liu Hua has served as the patriarch, the atmosphere in the clan has become increasingly corrupt, and it is not uncommon for the clansmen to bully people and bully men and women outside. ”
Thinking of the information from Mumao Villa, and seeing the mess of the piles on the top, Liu Heng frowned in disgust.
"I can't let such a family that has decayed inside drag down our children and grandchildren, and I don't want your opportunity to be shared with such a group of people."
"My father and I have been bullied since we were children in the clan, and our feelings for the clan are really not deep."
Liu Heng touched An Ruyi's smooth satin-like hair, slowly combed her long hair with his fingers, sniffed the fragrance of plum blossoms in the hair, and his heart gradually calmed down.
"Rather than trying to reorganize the atmosphere of the clan, it is better to break the cauldron and break away from it directly. I wanted to take my grandmother's coffin with me, who had been thinking about my father all her life and often felt guilty that I had dragged him down. But even if she didn't want to see her grandfather on her face, she often couldn't help but secretly shed tears. I know all the contradictions in her heart. This time, what my grandfather did can be regarded as ending my grandmother's heart disease, and her old man can probably be blind under Jiuquan, since my grandfather is willing to follow us...... Grandmother can also be reunited with her father, which is also perfect. ”
Liu Heng stared blankly at a certain part of the room with blank eyes, and the expression on his face was solemn.
An Ruyi was also silent, knowing that he was remembering the past, and he didn't know what to say to comfort him, so he could only approach him, silently shrink into his arms, put his hand in his palm, and let him hold it tightly.
The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop, and people want to raise but do not wait.
No amount of comfort can offset the pain to the bone.
Thinking of her biological parents and adoptive mother who don't know where she is in this life, An Ruyi moistened the corners of her eyes, there are too few clues on her biological parents' side, and the time is too long, probably the encounter in this life can only rely on fate.
But why is there no news of the adoptive mother? With the current strength of Mumao Villa for so long, she can't find out, how much hope can she have?
