Gu Pingzhang was pushed to this point, of course, he couldn't refuse, and he was indeed the most suitable patriarch in the Gu clan.

They have been in this vein for many generations, and they have been managing the affairs of the clan, and now if he refuses, he will give up the position of patriarch, thinking of his father, he is also unwilling, so he can only admit it.

It's just that Gu Kaifu said those words, but he can't fully agree with them, and when he proposes to let him take care of Gu Pingyong's family, of course he can't shirk it, but if he doesn't care about his previous suspicions, it's impossible.

Some words have to be made clear in person, so as not to cause disputes in the future, to let him get along with Gu Pingyong like before, or like someone else's own brother, he can't do it himself, at most, he doesn't take the initiative to provoke him, seeing that they are really difficult, help a little, and nothing else.

Tiankuo was so harmed by him that he couldn't participate in the scientific examination this year, and he couldn't forget this hatred no matter what, so what's the pitiful? There are many poor people in the world, and the poor man must have something to hate, and he can't write off what he has done before because he is in trouble now.

Gu Pingzhang thought about it in his heart, and said directly, "Since everyone agrees with me to be the patriarch of the Gu clan, I will no longer shirk it, I will take it, I, Gu Pingzhang, swear to the sky here, I am the patriarch of the Gu clan, I will do business, never mix the slightest selfishness, put the villagers first, discuss everything with the Lin family, and jointly make Tongxin Village better, everyone can believe me, I swear here today, if there is anything that cannot be fulfilled in the future, everyone can come to the door to seek justice, and I will never defend myself." ”

When he said this, everyone applauded, they lacked such a person to call the shots, what was Gu Pingyong's name before? After he became the patriarch of the Gu clan, he never did a single practical thing for the village, all of them took care of his own interests, and he couldn't get along with the people in the village by virtue of his identity as the patriarch, and he was looking for trouble with the Lin family everywhere.

If Gu Pingzhang had been chosen at the beginning, the past two years would have been peaceful, and he might have had a better life.

Old man Gu can't do it, who knew that Gu Pingyong was so ruthless, and he was embarrassed to threaten his own father when he was gone, and he couldn't complain about him.

Today, I suffered this calamity, this is all retribution, the cycle of cause and effect, retribution is unpleasant, these are really unbelievable.

Gu Pingzhang said, "I also know the grievances with my eldest brother, one by one, can be counted carefully, if I want to forget the previous grievances, I tell the truth, it is impossible, I have never taken the initiative to provoke others, the previous piles and piles, that are all provoked by my eldest brother himself, he doesn't want to get along with me, why should I respect him everywhere?" ”

"He did all those wrong things, this is not fake, is it because he is sick now and can't get up, I should forget all the previous things and help him regardless of the previous suspicions? I'm not a saint, I can't do it, I'll help if I can, but if I cross that line, don't blame me for being ruthless. ”

"I'm also putting my words here today, I'll ask my heart first in the future, I'll do what I should do, don't force me to do the rest, if anyone still holds on, I won't be polite, I can't be bullied everywhere because our family is good to talk to, right?"

After he finished speaking, everyone was silent, of course, ordinary people will respond at such a time, whether to do it or not is another matter, and there is no need to say it.

After all, he became the patriarch at this time, but his eldest brother was paralyzed in bed, how to say that Gu Pingyong was more pitiful, if he didn't agree at this time, people might say what gossip behind his back, saying that he was ruthless, which was indispensable, so of course ordinary people would not refuse at such a time, how could they keep their reputation.

But Gu Pingzhang is not like this, even if he knows this, he still has to say it in front of everyone, which shows how deep his resentment against Gu Pingyong is.

Everyone doesn't think there's anything wrong, how can they be involved in the affairs of the two brothers, and what Gu Pingzhang said just now is also the truth, Gu Pingyong has done so many bad things before, do you want to pity him just because he is paralyzed in bed? Do you want him to ignore his past suspicions? That was too unfair to Gu Pingzhang.

It is true that there is no way to ask him to be good to Gu Pingyong, if he can help, if he is not willing to help, everyone has nothing to say.

Gu Kaifu didn't expect Gu Pingzhang to give him so little face, he was also a little stunned for a while, cleared his throat, and then said, "Second brother, don't rush like this, you are brothers, you should help or help, what I just said is also to ease the relationship between the two of you." ”

Gu Pingzhang nodded, "Of course I understand what my uncle means, but I have already made it clear what I think about just now, these things are not easy to say, to what extent can I help others, there are no regulations, in the future, the eldest brother's family will be short of money and food, I will take some from the family so that they can eat, this is considered that I helped them." ”

"But if they dislike that life is not good, and they dislike me for not giving enough, if this spreads, then even if I help, won't I be able to gain a good reputation? You have to figure it out. ”

"My family's money and food did not fall from the sky for no reason, that is also the family is down-to-earth and hardworking and willing to earn back, our brothers are separated, I share as much land as the eldest brother, but a few people in their family, a few people in our family, these big guys all know, I don't mention it all these years, is it possible that I don't know that I have been wronged?"

"Now that he is in trouble, I want to sympathize with him and help him, and he didn't want to send me some of the grain he harvested in the field, our family also had a few difficult days a few years ago, when the eldest brother's family was just right, did he give me a bowl of rice? I'm not a saint, so I'll make it clear today, and no one will think about how to ask me for help in the future, and I know what to do. ”

It's not easy for Gu Kaifu to say anything now, Gu Pingyong has indeed been too much over the years, and the relationship between the two brothers has not been good since childhood, after all, they are not born to the same mother.

Gu Pingzhang was born to Gu Kaiming's wife, Gu Pingyong has been hostile to him since he was a child, how can he be good to this younger brother?

Now that he is paralyzed in bed, he is afraid that he will have nothing to eat in the coming year, Gu Kaifu wants to make peace in the clan, so he said what he just said, but Gu Pingzhang made him unable to get off the stage in person.

He was indeed a little angry, but thinking about Gu Pingzhang's words, he couldn't persuade him anymore, so he nodded, "Yes, you're right, I wasn't thoughtful enough just now." ”
