When the Jia family took over the Hua family, the situation of the Hua family was already very critical, and the shops in the city were all in a state of loss due to the family's refusal to learn well, internal and external collusion, and a deficit in public accounts, and some were on the verge of bankruptcy. The Jia family used the minister's money in the clan to pay off the debts first, and then re-managed the personnel, so that the shop turned losses into profits, and the current income is inseparable from her original operation. is because she is not afraid of the trouble in the fifth brother's room.

After years of accumulation, the most fierce fifth master Hua Zhengjie saw his sister-in-law, and his voice immediately lowered. Jia Shi looked at him coldly, snorted, and said, "I'm not deaf, so I don't have to make a big noise." You're worried about your shop, aren't you? ”

"Sister-in-law, don't blame me. Several old customers who have cooperated for many years have already sent someone to deliver the message. If our family affairs are not clear, they will not cooperate with us. That's not all, before we did business with the Guo family and the Wen family, we all settled accounts in three sections. Now it's good, they forced us to settle the payment in the store, and we couldn't miss a single one. How can the younger brother have so much cash turnover in his hands, this is fatal. There are also a few people who have deposited silver in our silk village, and they have also sent people to ask for withdrawal, saying that they can't trust us. Sister-in-law, if we don't think of a way to do this, our business in the city will collapse. ”

"I see. How much is the difference in silver, you give me a number, and I will let Jiyin bring it to you. If it's not enough, let's take the grain from our warehouse to the top. As for whether to do business in the future, how to do it, and then do it. Big deal, I'll give you some of my land and make up for your losses. ”

Hua Zhengjie laughed dryly, "That's not what I said, you know the situation of the younger brother, I and a few sons who are not successful are born to only plan the plate, but they can't hold the plow." If you give me the field, I'm useless. ”

"No one is born to farm! If you don't know how to farm, you can learn, and if you can't learn, you'll starve to death! So many people starve to death every year, why should you be an exception! ”

Jia Shi unceremoniously reprimanded Hua Zhengjie, and the resentment and anger of many days were all radiating on Hua Zhengjie at this time. No one could have imagined that this old woman would have such great power that she would curse for half an hour before stopping in the sweltering summer. Finally, he said: "Open the ancestral hall tomorrow, gather all the rooms, and make the words clear." I just want to take a look, there are still a few hard bones left in the Hua family! ”

In this kind of clan, the opening of the ancestral hall is roughly equivalent to the grand court meeting of the imperial court, which is the most solemn ceremony. The heads of each house in the clan, as well as the seniors of the clan, must attend, and the decisions made in the ancestral hall can only be carried out regardless of whether they are right or wrong. The Jia family has decided to take advantage of the limelight of the ancestral hall conference to fight Li Cai head-on, and let him know that the Hua family should not be insulted.

Although the Sha family was not dragged to the Jienu Hall, they were still nervous in their hearts, and when Jiyin came back from the school, he hugged his son tightly and said, "Yin'er, my mother is a little scared. You say it's so noisy...... How will it end in the future? ”

Jiyin was very calm, "Mother, my father-in-law is standing up for us, how terrible is it for an old woman to be a mere wife?" I don't believe that she can fight her father-in-law! It's like two armies fighting a war, we must first have the courage, otherwise we will definitely lose. We can't disgrace our father's face, and we can't let our father-in-law down, so you can rest assured, everything is controlled by your father-in-law, and you won't suffer. ”

In the dead of night, Zheng Chan ate and laughed in Fan Jin's arms, and said softly: "The real ability of the housekeeper has an inside line in the Hua family so soon." When they open the ancestral hall tomorrow, someone will come to deliver a letter tonight, which is really a fairy method. ”

"This is actually not an inside line, the Hua family is full of mouths, plus people are flustered now, and the management is not as strict as usual, how can you keep a secret for such a big thing as opening an ancestral hall? Among the disciples of Feng Si's father, there are many capable people who come and go from high to high, and it is easy to find out this kind of news. I mainly didn't expect that the Song lady would be willing to help me and use cooperation to reverse the people in the fifth room. ”

Zheng Chan snorted: "That Song Niangzi must not be a good product!" We don't know her, she helps us, I don't think I'm okay! ”

"I also eat this vinegar, not afraid of falling teeth? I haven't spoken a few words to her in total, so how can there be any uneasiness and kindness. I think she's a wise man, and she's courting me by doing this. Fan Jin smiled slightly, and his hand gently stroked Zheng Chan's body.

"Actually, it's okay to have her or not, not everyone is as stubborn as Jia's. In the final analysis, this family is always surnamed Hua and not Jia, and those people have no enmity with the Sha family. It's okay to exclude her, but you can't do it if you take advantage of your own interests. As soon as a few members of the staff came and went in private, many people were about to defect. The Song Room is the icing on the cake, not a charcoal in the snow. But no matter what, she is always smarter than her man, most likely because she saw my intentions, and first made a move against the five rooms of the Hua family, and she will be a partner with me in the future. She must know about my friendship with the Duke of Wei, and she is taking advantage of my situation to tie up the Duke of Wei. She is a very powerful businessman, with accurate vision, maybe she will be a good helper in the future. Your man is not Tang monk meat, not everyone wants to eat it. ”

"No...... The one who is in charge is Tang monk meat, and I want to eat it in my stomach before I am willing. I will eat and be in charge...... Eat me. ”

On this night, there was enthusiasm like fire, there were people who couldn't sleep, and people who fell into ice caves. Under the cover of night, the figures in the Hua family's mansion swayed, and some people quietly walked out of the door under the cover of night and gathered at the agreed place. When the subordinate on the watch saw someone, he was scolded by the other party in a low voice before he could scream. When they saw the identities of these people, they did not dare to give birth to more people, and as if nothing had happened, they went elsewhere.

These people did not light the lamps or open the windows, but braved the scorching heat and whispered something in their low voices. Some people are afraid and want to quit, but they are immediately scolded by the people around them, and in the end they can only choose to obey. Jia Shi knelt in the Buddha hall and prayed sincerely to the Buddha statue: "Bodhisattva bless, bless my Hua family's prosperity, wealth and longevity, bless my husband to ascend to Elysium early, no more troubles, bless my son to gain fame as soon as possible, and revitalize the family business." All sins will be borne by the old man......"

On the other side, some people are also praying, but there are no incense candles or fixed goals, only expounding their inner desires:

The gods are above, don't blame us, we are also for the Hua family......

Social studies were suspended due to the meeting. In the ancestral hall, the ancestral hall was opened, and the Jia family members and the elders of the clan took each room to incense and kowtow in front of the ancestral spiritual seat, and then sat down according to their status. As the only foreign surname and woman, Jia is a bit strange on this occasion, but after so many years, everyone has become accustomed to it, but no one cares.

She looked at the crowd: "What happened to the family now, all the uncles and elders must already know. The old man was originally a person with a foreign surname, and he should have taught his husband and children at home, and he should not come out to show his face. But at that time, the elders of the clan insisted on supporting the family business, and the old body had to reluctantly accept this drudgery. After so many years, I know that I am not strong enough and there are many omissions. Thanks to the help of each house and the support of the elders, we have today's family business. At present, the government is interfering in my family's affairs......"

Before she finished her words, Hua Zhengrong, who was in the fourth room on the side, said: "Sister-in-law, in front of our ancestors in the ancestral hall, we must all speak with conscience." This time, the government really didn't interfere, but we did something wrong ourselves. The eldest brother has been alone in Beijing for so many years, he is a man, isn't it unusual to find a woman to accompany him? Why was he so mean to his flesh and bones, and why did he have to sell that woman? Could it be that our Hua family is so poor that we can't afford to take care of one person's rations? I heard that the sister-in-law still hasn't let people give the woman enough food and drink, this is too harsh, right? Anyway, she has also served her eldest brother for so many years, and she also gave birth to a son to her eldest brother, which is the hero of our Hua family. If it weren't for your sister-in-law, you didn't leave too much room for things, why did you get to such a point? ”

Hua Zhengjie also said: "Yes." Originally, Nalu Yuanwai had to collect thousands of catties of tea every year, but this time, he refused to accept a catty from us, and he didn't know what to do with those teas. Our family doesn't lack that money, so why do we have to sell people and tie them up? You have never entered the city, and the people in the city are really ...... when they look at our Hua family now I couldn't even lift my head. ”

Bafang Hua Zhengying, who has always been silent, is a lifter, and can be regarded as a role that can be played by the Hua family, but he has always only been academic, and at this time he suddenly opened his mouth: "Sister-in-law's credit to the family over the years, we all see it in our eyes." Who dares to say that the sister-in-law is not, the ancestors can't agree! But...... The sister-in-law is getting older day by day, she is tired and weak, and she is not thoughtful when she encounters things, which is also reasonable, and everyone should not be too demanding. Sister-in-law, we see your hard work over the years, and we know that it is not easy for you, but fortunately, most of the children of the Hua family have become adults and can come out to take care of things, and it is time for you to take a break. Enjoy the pleasures in the room, and don't worry about the outside affairs, for it would be too heartless for you to let a woman work every day. ”

What's going on?

Jia Shi knew that something was wrong, and a pair of eyes swept over the people in charge of each room of the Hua family. Why did the brothers who were usually submissive to themselves fire at themselves at this time? Don't...... They want to take advantage of the opportunity to seize their power?

Over the years, Jia's family law has been serious, and he has offended many people. But firstly, he has the support of the elders, and secondly, he is very upright, and he does not eat more as the patriarch, which also brings a lot of benefits to the family. Even if each room has an opinion, it will not be raised, and it is not afraid to covet its own seat. Today, they are going to rebel?

There is no patriarch at the moment, her identity is actually similar to the patriarch, and the crutch in her hand is like a scepter jade seal, poking the ground, making a muffled sound.

"Fourth brother, fifth brother, eighth master, what do you mean by this? Right now, my Hua family is in trouble, and it's time to be in the same boat, you don't want to kill each other at this time, right? ”

"Sister-in-law, don't talk so seriously. We're just telling you not to be stubborn. Hua Zhengjie said: "It's an eventful time now, and that's why we want to get through." We are ordinary people, how can we go against the government. What's more, there are a few people who have face, we can't ignore it. ”

Jia said: "What about the government? Jiyin and Hu Zhongcheng ......"

Hua Zhengying said: "I talked to Gu Fuzi once yesterday. Hu Zhongcheng means that industrial disputes in the countryside should be private rather than public, and small rather than large. Harmony is precious, brothers, friends and brothers, and the family is prosperous. Especially the scholarly family, it should be an example for the small people, if the scholar takes the lead in competing for the industry, it will be too ugly. He only asked Gu Fuzi to bring a word, he had to let go and let go, and he had to spare people and spare people. ”

The second heavy blow fell.

Governor Hu, who has always been close to his own room, how could he bring the words to the eighth room instead of contacting his own room? In the final analysis, many of his methods for Sha's mother and son were obtained from Hu Zhili's instructions, how can he ...... now? He's going to push it clean?

Jia instinctively realized that the situation was not right, and that her biggest reliance might not be as reliable as she thought, and she gritted her teeth and looked at the three remaining elders of the clan. It was these three white-haired old men who persuaded their husbands to take charge of the family business and clean up the crisis that day. The three of them have helped themselves a lot over the years, and they can be regarded as iron tickets on their side. The country is the most important, and if they are willing to speak, there is still something to be done.

"The three uncles, the daughter-in-law listened to the words of the three and came out to be this wicked person, and it was also the three who announced in front of their ancestors that the daughter-in-law would be in charge of the family business. Today, I also asked the three to give a word to my daughter-in-law in front of my ancestors. ”

The old man sitting in the center coughed, "Jia, we all see your credit to the family over the years, and no one can send you wrong." Whether it's right or wrong, we can't have a word of disrespect to you, otherwise we will be the first to disagree! As for the moment, the eighth child is right, you are tired, it's time to rest. You are a woman again, your qi and blood are not as strong as men, and you scold people for half an hour, and your body can't bear it. Go back to the room and have a good rest, let Jiyin serve you and enjoy the blessings. ”

Fatal blow!

Jia Shi only felt that his brain was blank, listening to the meaning of his uncle's words, but he had to deprive Jiyin of the power to be in charge. She forced herself to hold her body and asked, "If the daughter-in-law resigns from the position of head of the family, then who will take care of our Hua family?" ”

"The eighth child is young and knowledgeable, so let him take care of it first. Jiyin is a junior, and he still lacks experience, so let him learn from Lao Baduo, and it is not too late to take charge of the family business in a few years. The three old men nodded at the same time, and the decision was made. The old uncle said again:

"It's not easy for the eldest daughter-in-law, you don't have to rush to hand over the head of the family, take your time. No one is allowed to get to the bottom of the accounts, right and wrong are all the same. You are a scholar, if you embarrass your sister-in-law on the account, your ancestors will not agree! ”

Hua Zhengying saluted: "The little nephew must obey the orders of the three uncles. Sister-in-law, your face doesn't seem to look good, so hurry back to the room to rest, and wait for the younger brother to invite someone to come and then invite the sister-in-law to come out and talk. ”

"Please? Who please? ”

"Naturally, it is Master Fan who retreats, as well as Li Daling and a few members in the city, it just so happens that the people at the head of each room of our Hua family are there, and there are three elders to witness, and the time to do the separation of the family is at this time. Show our family background, make it clear in front of everyone, and save others from saying that we bully orphans and widows! ”
