Chapter 599 Picking an Excellent Nephew to Be My Heir
Chapter 599 Choosing an outstanding nephew to be my successor
Shao Ying is younger and has an impetuous temper. The more she talks, the more excited she gets and the louder she talks, attracting the attention of people around her.
Arranging the elders is no small matter, let alone Mrs. Shao, even their respective parents can't spare them!
Shao Ya covered Shao Ying's mouth in annoyance, lowered her voice and scolded: "Are you crazy? Don't you know what to say and what not to say?"
Shao Ying finally realized that she had gone too far and quickly shut her mouth.
Seeing that Shao Ying had listened to her warning, Shao Ya let go of her hand and said in a voice that could be heard by everyone around her: "When the family meeting is over, you follow me to Grandma's place to receive the punishment."
"Oh, I got it."
Seeing this, the people around them no longer paid attention to the two sisters, but returned their attention to Yun Mo.
Mrs. Shao and Shao Lin, mother and son, sang together, presented facts and reason, and used the excellence of their daughter (granddaughter) to block all the voices that tried to prevent Yun Mo from entering the family tree.
The sun rises in the east and rains in the west.
The matter of Yunmo's family tree was settled, and the clan elders started talking about Shao Lin's life-long events.
It's just that as the head of the family, Shao Lin had to think about the overall situation and get married and raise children as soon as possible to avoid having no successors in the Shao family.
In the past, Shao Lin could only say "I haven't met a woman who can take on the role of the mistress of the Shao family and my feelings" at most, and then blocked everyone away.
But today, he prepared a new set of rhetoric for the first time.
"I know that all my uncles and uncles have good intentions and worry about my personal affairs and the inheritance of the entire family. It is true that I did not do well in this matter. I am over forty and still live alone, so my mother also
You have been worried about me for so many years. As a son of man, it is really unfilial and unrighteous.
I am here to make a promise to you all and to my mother today. If I have not resolved my personal affairs before the age of forty-five and have no heirs to my name, I will choose from the younger nephews in my family.
A good nephew will be my heir."
These words had a much greater impact than Yun Mo's life experience, and the roof of the entire ancestral hall was almost knocked off.
Everyone was whispering to each other in twos and threes, with different expressions.
Yun Mo looked at Shao Lin on the left, and then at Mrs. Shao on the right. Both mother and son were equally calm and composed. It was obvious that they had already reached a consensus on this matter in private.
"Head of the family, are you planning to choose a successor from your own family or clan?"
"What requirements and conditions do you have for your heir?"
After discussing for a while, some impatient people began to ask Shao Lin questions.
Shao Lin answered them one by one calmly, "First of all, I have a prerequisite for choosing an heir from the nephews in the family, and that is that he has no family background and no heirs before the age of forty-five.
Secondly, I am not only choosing a stepson, but also the future heir of the family, so these conditions and requirements should not be established unilaterally by me.
As for the rest, when I have time another day, I will hold an internal meeting with the uncles to discuss it carefully."
"I agree with the head of the family's proposal!"
"I agree too."
Shao Lin's words were unanimously supported by the entire clan.
Can you not support it? Among the older generation present, there are only a few young grandsons. If by some bad luck, their grandson is chosen by Shao Lin, wouldn’t it mean that only one of them will be able to ascend to heaven?
The family meeting ended with everyone's satisfaction.
Shao Lin, Yun Mo, Mrs. Shao, and several clan elders in charge of sacrifices stayed behind to accompany Yun Mo to worship the Shao family ancestors, while the other Shao family members went back to their respective homes to find their respective mothers.
Shao Ya followed the crowd and walked outside the ancestral hall. As she walked, she couldn't help but look back at the girl in the white dress inside the sacrificial hall.
It is also a good thing for her that Shao Lin wants to choose an heir from the family. Her younger brother Shao Yixuan is 15 years old this year and will be 18 or 9 years old in a few years. He has a great age advantage.
But she was also worried that Shao Mo would obstruct her brother's candidacy because of his personal grudge.
If she had known earlier, when her brother came to trouble Shao Mo that day, she should have stopped him.
Shao Ya thought with annoyance and went back to the west courtyard with a lot of worries.
Shao Ying followed her with some difficulty, "Sister, please walk slower, you are rushing to be reincarnated..."
Shao Ya stopped and turned to stare at Shao Ying, "What should you call me?"
"Eldest...Second sister?"
Shao Ya looked at her seriously, "Shao Mo has entered the family tree and is recognized by the whole clan as the eldest lady of the Shao family. You and I have to move one position back in generation. Forget it this time. If you call me wrong next time,
I will never forgive you lightly."
Shao Ying was quite disapproving, "Sister, second sister, are you really willing to do this? You have been the eldest lady for eighteen years, but now you have been taken away from the limelight by a country bumpkin who doesn't know where he came from..."
"Shut up! She is my uncle's biological daughter and our eldest sister. If you don't understand etiquette and respect, you can go back and learn it hard!"
Shao Ya had always been very protective of her younger brothers and sisters. She had never scolded them in public like today. Shao Ying was angry and aggrieved, and her eyes were redder than rabbits.
"Sister, you scolded me, you scolded me for an outsider..."
Seeing that Shao Ying was so dishonest and still kept saying that Shao Mo was an outsider, Shao Ya didn't bother to talk anymore, turned around and quickly left without a trace.
Shao Ying froze on the spot, not understanding what she had done wrong.
Until an old uncle who had a good relationship with the East Hospital pulled her aside and said, "You are such a grown-up person, but you are still so impetuous. People are coming and going. You call her Sister Aya one by one, and you call her Sister Aya one by one.
If you say Shao Mo is an outsider, don't you think about what your uncle and grandma will think if these words reach their ears?
Even if you are not afraid of upsetting your uncle, you still have to consider your eldest brother. Your eldest brother is the legitimate young master of our family and is the most qualified to be the heir to the head of the family. Don’t ruin his future..."
Upon hearing these words, Shao Ying immediately broke into a cold sweat.
"Fifth uncle, what should we do now? What I just said must have been heard by others. Maybe it will reach the ears of eldest grandma and others one day. It's over. If I cause my second brother not to be the heir, I will
Dad will definitely beat me to death."
"It's time for you to be wiser and learn more from your sister Aya. How can you feel at ease when her good eldest daughter was robbed? But you see, if you don't show off your appearance, you won't let others see it."
If you made a mistake, she just scolded you for your own good. Go find her and admit your mistake, then go home and talk to your mother about it and let her find a way to remedy it."
"Well, I understand! Thank you, fifth uncle!"
After entering the west courtyard, Shao Ying went straight to Shao Ya's bedroom, but no one was in the bedroom or study. After asking, she found out that Shao Ya had not returned to the west courtyard at all.
"Eldest sister, no, second sister! So you are here. I have been looking for you for a long time."
Shao Ya glanced back at Shao Ying, turned around and continued to feed the goldfish in the pond casually.
