"Ah Er, Ah Wu, Ah Qi."

"You three come with me, I have something to tell you."

In the room, facing his five wives and his eight sons, as well as his grandsons over fifty and granddaughters over sixty-five, the old man said in a guilty tone that he couldn't even detect.

Ah Er, Ah Wu, and Ah Qi are the three sons whose wisdom is not worse than his.

Now he only gives them his most precious things, which means that his other five sons will not get that thing, and without that thing, the family of the five sons will be almost visible after the family is separated.

But there is no way to do it, their wisdom is too little to grasp the most precious thing of this old man.

Even self-defeating, turning good things into bad things is a great possibility, and letting them live with their three smartest brothers is their best choice.

The old man's second, fifth, and seventh sons glanced at each other and silently followed the old man's footsteps.

And behind them, the other five sons of the old man, were a little unknown, and did not know what their father was going to hide from them.

But in the face of their father's decision, none of them had anything to oppose.

At the beginning, their father resolutely came to this originally uninhabited land, obtained a large amount of prey with a knife and a bow, and then married their mother, gave birth to them, and created this large farm.

However, in just three generations, the old man has changed from one person to a big family of more than 100 people.

The hardships and wisdom involved in such a process are unimaginable to ordinary people.

Therefore, they respect their father's decision.

In the basement with very good sound insulation, the old man came to a set of tables and chairs step by step, sat down in the main seat, looked at his three sons, and said with a kind face: "All sit, all sit!" ”

The second, fifth, and seventh sons sat down silently and looked at their father with puzzled eyes.

In the past, everything was discussed by the old man and his eight sons, and it was rare for someone to be called out alone.

Now, the old man actually called them over alone, and eighty percent had something important to tell them, so they were a little nervous and puzzled.

The nervousness was because they were afraid that the matter would be too big, and the three of them would not be able to bear it, and they did not understand why they were full of the other five brothers.

The old man looked at his three sons, who were a little nervous, and asked a question.

"Why, you say, why do I still ask you and my grandchildren to risk their lives to hunt in the forest when there is enough food at home?"

The second, fifth, and seventh sons began to think about their father's problems one by one.

In fact, they had long thought that the people in their families would stop hunting and live on the fields and cattle and sheep on the farm.

In these years, all men in their family who were over fifteen years old had to hunt for three months a year, and anyone who disobeyed would be expelled from the family.

Such frequent hunting has caused very large casualties to their family.

The old man didn't just have eight sons, he and his five wives had a total of fifteen sons.

Of the other seven sons, except for two who died young, the other five died hunting in the mountains and forests.

In addition, the old man's grandson was also very injured very much, and so far eleven have died in the mountains and forests.

Counting all the things, their family has already had eighteen males die on this because of hunting.

With such a large casualty rate, they really didn't want to take any chances.

I am afraid that one day I or my children will die in the mountains and forests.

The old man's three sons pondered and tried to figure out why their father had let them risk their lives to hunt in the mountains and forests.

Looking at the three sons who were thinking desperately, the old man was very patient and waited quietly for their answers.

After a while.

The second son suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said, "Father, you may want to use hunting to train us and improve our strength, so that others dare not bully us." ”

Hunting is not a simple matter, jackals, tigers, leopards and bears, which one is not fierce, hunters who hunt all year round are definitely not easy targets to bully compared to ordinary residents.

If nothing else, the bow and arrow that you have practiced in hunting can make many people dare not touch their heads.

So he thinks that the reason why their father made them risk their lives to hunt was to increase their strength and let them see blood, so that others would not dare to bully them.

Faced with his second son's answer, the old man nodded with a smile and said, "That's partly right, but this is only a part, and there are many, many truths in it." ”

"Ah Er, think again."

Hunting and training yourself to be bad bullying is part of it, and there are more reasons in it.

He hopes that his sons will think more and understand more truths.

The old man's fifth and seventh sons, seeing that the second son had spoken, hurriedly began to think more desperately.

And the old man's second son, in the face of his father's encouragement, fell into thinking again.

It was a good while.

This time the old man's seventh son spoke.

"Father, you once said that only when the people in the family are united, can we gather a strong force, so that others dare not bully us, so that we can live a better life."

"Hunting in the mountains and forests needs to cooperate with each other, and it is difficult for jackals, tigers, leopards and bears to fight alone, and in this process, we will inevitably help each other and save each other's lives."

"In this way, my brothers and my grandchildren will become more united in the process."

"We are stronger when we are united than we are scattered, and we can live better and easier with each other's help."

The reason why he thought of this was that when he was hunting before, he and the old man's fourth son, that is, his fourth brother, encountered a tiger.

In the face of the tiger, they united as one, and fought fiercely with the tiger with arrows and knives, in that battle, the tiger was wounded by them and ran away, and he was seriously injured, it was his fourth brother, regardless of his own injured body, carried him to the bottom of the mountain, and he survived.

For this time, he was very grateful to his fourth brother.

Of course, he also saved the lives of other brothers, hunting all the way, and their group of brothers supported each other and had a good relationship.

It can be said that without those experiences, his relationship with the other brothers would not be so good.

Looking at his seventh son, who was full of confidence, the old man nodded with satisfaction and said, "Ah Qi, you also said part of it right, but you still didn't say the most important part right." ”

"My son, keep up the good work!"

The old man's seventh son saw that he had such a perfect answer, but he still didn't get to the most important point, and he was a little lost in his heart.

But with his father's encouragement, he ignited his fighting spirit and began to continue to meditate.

The old man's fifth son, seeing that the other two brothers had opened their mouths, was momentarily anxious, and suddenly he thought of the bags that the old man had sewn for them and their grandchildren, and the smell of blood to be eliminated after striking the prey.

He instantly thought of a little truth, and said excitedly: "Father, I once heard that there was a man who was lucky enough to pick up a box full of gold in the river. ”

"After picking up the gold, that person made a big publicity, squandering the gold like dirt, so unhappy."

"I remember envying him at the time."

"Then I heard that not long after the happy days of the other party's spending, a large number of robbers destroyed their house in one night, and their family died, and the gold was gone."

"In the forest, the smell of blood is the news of food."

"When you ask us to cover up the smell of blood, you are telling us what we have gained, and we are going to hide it, not expose it to the eyes of countless tigers, leopards and jackals, whose claws are capable of killing."

"It's true in the forest, it's true in society, and there are even a lot more tigers, leopards, and jackals in society than there are tigers, leopards, and jackals in the forest."

"After all, after the smell of blood in the forest spreads, it will only attract tigers, leopards and jackals in the surrounding mountains and forests, but after the windfall in society is known, even if it is a hundred miles away, there are still greedy people who want to fight us."

"Therefore, if you make a fortune, you must hide it, don't be too public, but slowly convert the wealth into the strength of your family."

"It's like if you get a lot of money, and you don't make a big deal about it, but you try to marry a daughter-in-law and have a son, and then let your son, who is our daughter-in-law, have more grandchildren."

"In this way, we will strengthen the strength of the family."

"As long as the family is strong, what do you want?"

The old man's fifth son raised his head and said with a child's movements, "I said it so well, praise me, praise me."

The smile on the old man's face became even stronger, and it seemed that the happy time he had spent most of his life combined was not as happy as he was at this moment.

He happily said to his fifth son: "Ah Wu, what you said is very good, I didn't expect what you said about your father." ”

"Your wisdom is no worse than mine, even wiser than mine."

"However, this truth is said by yourself, there are many tigers, leopards and jackals in society, you have to put away your pride, face everything with caution, don't be too proud."

The old man was relieved that his fifth son was smarter than him, but he was a little proud.

As long as he can be humble, he will definitely be able to achieve great talents and lead the family to a better future.

The encouragement of the old man greatly inspired the old man's fifth son, so that his self-confidence was greatly satisfied.

It's just that the old man just said that he thought of what the old man didn't expect, that is to say, the most critical point is not what he said.

Coupled with the old man's consolation, he put away his pride and began to think calmly again.

Time passed slowly, five hourglass hours had passed.

The old man's three sons still hadn't come up with a new reason, and it was obvious that what they had just answered was their limit at this moment.

Seeing that his sons could no longer think of new truths, the old man knew that it was time.

The old man's fingers tapped lightly on the table, waking up the three sons who were caught in a storm of thoughts.

The old man's second, fifth, and seventh sons came back to their senses from their thoughts and looked at their father, all of whom had a sad face.

They really can't think of anything new.

But even so, the three truths they said before are enough to maintain the prosperity of a family, and they are the heirlooms that can really make the family rise.

The old man said to his second son: "Ah Er, let me ask you, what is the most important thing in a family?" ”

The old man's second son knew that the critical moment had come, and after thinking about the old man's education of himself in the past, he said: "The capable person is the most important, and the capable person is just like your father, even if you are the only one, but as long as you manage it carefully, the time of three generations is enough to create a strong family." ”

"Now, in the farm you run, there are eight of your sons and more than fifty grandchildren among the adult males, and there is no family other than the lord who is as strong as our family."

"And if all the people in a family are incompetent, no matter how big the family business is, it is very likely to be slowly defeated, or the family will be ruined after being calculated by the enemy."

"So, I think the most important thing is that people who are capable."

He has grown up so big, and in the surrounding villages and cities, he has seen too many people who lost their family property and died because they were incapable, and he has also seen many people who brought the whole family up at once because there was a capable person in the family, and the whole family enjoyed the benefits.

Just look at his father.

One person came here, with the help of his own ability, but in just three generations, he created such a big family.

And you must know that in society, the vast majority of families are getting worse and worse over time, and the families that can maintain their own families unchanged or even strong only occupy a small part.

In the words of Ace's previous life.

It is difficult to fight the world, and it is even more difficult to defend the world.

The family business created by our ancestors through all kinds of hardships is very, very difficult.

It is also very, very difficult for future generations to keep the family business left by their ancestors.

Competition in society is everywhere, there are capable people rising all the time, and those who have the ability want to get more resources, in the limited resources, under normal circumstances, they can only snatch the resources of others for their own children and grandchildren.

After all, not everyone is Ace, and he can create countless new cakes at will, and that is only a very small number of the few.

And if you want to keep your family business in the eyes of countless capable people, where is it easy?

Capable people versus incapable people.

The biggest difference between them is that capable people can exert ten, hundreds, or even thousands of the effects of one of their own resources, and sometimes they can even use other people's resources to exert the effects they want.

For those who are incapable, a hundred resources can generally only exert the effect of a hundred, and if it is a little worse, a hundred resources can only exert the effect of fifty, thirty, and ten resources.

Sometimes, you can also lift your own resources to hit your own feet, and give a hundred resources to the effect of minus ten, minus hundred.

In this case, it is easy for incapable people to keep their family business.

There are too many capable tigers and wolves in society.

The old man nodded with a smile and said with a smile: "Ah Er, did you teach you in vain, you are right, the most important thing in a family is people, capable people." ”

"And people like pigs, cows and horses, if there is no capable person to protect them or if they themselves are not united, no matter how many they are, they are still meat on the chopping board, and they are slaughtered by others."

"What I'm going to teach you now is how to make more capable people in the family possible."

"The three of you, the heirs I have chosen, will be the leaders of the family and lead your relatives towards a better life after my death."

The voice fell.

The eyes of the old man's second, fifth, and seventh sons lit up instantly, and their hearts were excited.

What father doesn't want his children to become capable, and which mother doesn't want his children to become talented.

Any father and mother would like to, and they are no exception.

For this reason, many parents can be said to have worked hard.

Let's take the society of Ace's previous life as an example, those parents are desperate to educate their children well in order to make their children successful, good schools, good teachers, nutritious meals, and cram schools.

For this reason, countless poor peasants or small citizens in the city are desperately trying to make money and work hard with their lives, in order to send their children to a good school and a good cram school, so that their children can become capable people in the future, become talents, and live a better life in the future.

Looking at the three sons with anticipation on his face, the old man sighed deeply in his heart.

That's why he felt sorry for his other five sons before.

Everyone has selfish intentions, one is their own child, the other is their brother's child, and in most cases, people will love their own children.

In this case, he handed over the method of making it easier for the children to the three sons in front of him, and in their generation, they might take into account the brotherhood and apply the truth to the whole family.

But when the next generation, that is, his grandson's generation, the sons of these three sons will probably not apply the truth to the families of the other five sons.

But there is no way, the wisdom of the other five sons is too low, and it is difficult for them to keep the truth that can make it easier for their family to become capable.

For a family, capable people are very, very important, but the reason to be able to create more capable people is extremely important.

That is the foundation that a family can inherit for hundreds of years, thousands of years, or even thousands of years.

He couldn't be too careful.
