Chapter 17 How did you become the leader of the clan?
The old man in Banshan was very helpless. Mr. Wen only warned her at noon and beat her again at night.
He once said at noon that if Mr. Wen hits Ruyi again, he will open an ancestral hall. Now that Mr. Wen is hitting others again, how can his words not count?
He had to send people: "Second brother, you ask someone to light some torches. Third child, you help me go out and take a look. Second child, you go and take Ruyi directly to the gate of the ancestral hall. Fourth child, you go call Houde over. Fourth child, go
Inform the Wen family to go to the entrance of the ancestral hall.
We have to help Ruyi girl resolve this matter today, it’s not okay to keep making so much noise."
If Tang Dashu was still the clan leader, the old man in Banshan would not meddle in this business. But now, his nephew Tang Houde is the clan leader, and he himself is the most virtuous and respected person in the village. However, the person who entrusted her to the village did not
Tang Yuan is almost the benefactor of the entire village.
More importantly, Ruyi found him at his door and asked him for help, so he had no choice but to come forward.
As early as Ruyi ran out of the house, Wen knew something was wrong. When Xiao Si ran to their house panting and told them to go to the ancestral hall, Wen's legs became a little weak.
You clearly told yourself to endure it for the time being, but why did you get so impulsive and pick up a stick to beat Ruyi again?
She usually hits her too smoothly, but once Ruyi gets a little rough, she can't help but reach out and hit her.
But now, she had no choice but to calm down and said solemnly: "You, the second son, will stay at home with your children, while the eldest brother, the second son, and you guys will help my mother go to the ancestral hall.
I want to see what the old man in Banshan can do to me for the sake of an outsider. Could it be that he can really open an ancestral hall to punish me?"
Yes, when Ruyi was brought by Tang Yuan, he did not say that he was a member of the Tang family. Therefore, although everyone thought that Tang Yuan was Ruyi's father, she thought that Ruyi was an outsider because Tang Yuan did not say anything clearly.
She also controls the distribution of the village's cultivation resources. Who in the village dares not to give her face? If the old man Banshan instigates his nephew to open an ancestral hall to deal with him for outsiders, his nephew will not be the leader of the clan for a long time.
She only called the one from the old family, not the second one, because the old one was usually more aggressive and could help her speak up, but the one from the second family couldn't beat a fart with a stick, so she just went there.
It's useless not to speak. It's better to stay at home and look after the children.
Although the clan leader did not notify the villagers to come to the ancestral hall, Ruyi's ghostly screams reached his ears and summoned almost all the villagers.
At this time, although it was not completely dark yet, the two grandsons of the old man Banshan were already lighting up several torches. Everyone was standing on the large earth platform at the entrance of the ancestral hall. Standing in the middle was Banshan who was being supported by his two sons.
elder.
Several of his tall grandsons stood behind him in a fan shape. The old man in the middle of the mountain under the torch had a dark complexion, like Mr. Bao who judged the yang day by day and the yin at night.
Ruyi stood next to the old man in the middle of the mountain.
The patriarch Tang Houde also came. He first greeted the old man in Banshan and said, "Uncle, you are also here."
The old man in Banshan nodded to him: "This Wen family is so outrageous. If this girl Ruyi comes to me, I have to make the decision for her. You are the leader of the clan. You must suppress her prestige today, otherwise you will
This clan leader can’t stand up anymore.”
The whole village of Tangjiawan practices martial arts, and the resources handed down by the head family, counties, and Longhu Sect are all controlled by the clan leader, who distributes them to the villagers.
After the death of the old patriarch, because Wen had the support of her natal family and the resources belonged to the patriarch, Wen never handed them over. When someone in the village made a breakthrough, she always took the reward from Wen.
Tang Houde, the patriarch of the clan, has been in office for three years and has always acted as if he were not embarrassed. Therefore, he also wanted to take this opportunity to suppress the Wen clan's prestige.
There is also this reason why Ruyi dares to make trouble, and even dares to go to the old man in the middle of the mountain. Because if she makes trouble like this, not only will she not offend the new patriarch, but she will also give the new patriarch a chance to take back the patriarch's power to allocate resources.
"Don't worry, uncle, I can do it." After saying that, he stood next to the old man on the mountain.
When Mrs. Wen came to the entrance of the ancestral hall with her two sons, she was greeted with such an attitude.
Seeing the attitude of the group of old people at the entrance of the ancestral hall, Wen was stunned. She felt the momentum coming from the other party, and her legs suddenly felt a little weak. If her two sons hadn't been supporting her, she might have had to sit down.
Go to the ground.
But after all, she was the wife of the patriarch, so she immediately cheered herself up: "What are you afraid of? He is only the second grandfather of the clan leader. I was also the wife of the clan leader. I have a backer behind me, and I have the right to allocate resources for the whole village. Plus I
If he didn’t make a big mistake, could he still kill me?”
Before the Banshan old man and the clan leader could speak, she immediately shouted: "Why, you want to open an ancestral hall to interrogate me for an outsider?"
Ruyi lives in Tangjiawan, but the Tang Yuan who sent her here is named Tang. Therefore, everyone has regarded Ruyi as a member of the Tang family, and no one has thought that Ruyi is an outsider.
Everyone looked at each other.
Wen continued: "Opening the Tang family's ancestral hall for an outsider? Houde, how did you become the head of the clan?"
Tang Houde was also surprised. Tang Yu'an, who sent Ruyi here in the first place, was a member of the Tang family. He had never thought that Ruyi was not a member of the Tang family.
