"It seems that Senior Brother Ma San has not been idle this year! By the way, have you seen him since you came back?"
"I've seen it before. His eyes are getting more and more gloomy, and his face is like a piece of ice!" The eldest lady frowned, seeming to be a little surprised by Ma San's change in personality.
Since Lin En and Senior Sister returned to the Gong family, news from all over the place has continued to reach their ears.
I learned that Ma San has been quiet for a while since he was easily defeated by Lin En last year without moving his hands or feet.
It wasn't until Lin En ran to Peiping and expressed no intention of taking over that Ma San gradually became active again.
He is even more active than before. Not only has he accepted many disciples, but he also travels more frequently with various sects.
Suddenly, the number of people gathered around Ma San increased sharply, and they were shouting and cheering when they came in and out!
His temper has become more and more extreme, and he cannot tolerate others harming his face at all. He cannot even hear Lin En's name.
It wasn't until the Northeast Incident in September that the forces gathered around Ma San suddenly dispersed and no trace of them existed!
"I didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me!" Lin En's tone was full of "loneliness" as if he was feeling cold at a high place!
The eldest lady rolled her eyes at him and said, "Don't be complacent. Ma San has been with his father for so many years, so it is impossible that he is not prepared. Now that you are in the spotlight, he is hiding for the time being."
"But if he knew that I wanted to take over, he would never accept it!"
Lin En smiled, "What does that matter? Do you expect him to give up?"
"That's right! Sooner or later it will just be a move!"
The eldest lady nodded and her expression calmed down.
The Gong family is a martial arts family, and they talk about martial arts rules.
And the biggest rule in this martial arts world is the skill of your hands!
If you lose, shut up. Only if you win can you be qualified to speak!
Years ago, the eldest lady released the news that she would compete with Senior Brother Ma San to be the successor of the Gong family.
The old man is a traditional man. According to his original intention, the eldest lady will get married sooner or later and there will be no chance. However, this time he did not express any objection for some reason.
It’s obvious that you don’t have any objection, let’s fight for it!
…
The fifth day of the first lunar month is also called Po Wu, which means to drive away the five poor.
Lin En took Hua Ling to set off firecrackers, eat dumplings, and clean the house with the eldest lady.
No one came to visit me on this day. Firstly, I was afraid of bumping into the five poor people who dared to come out of other people's homes. Secondly, I was afraid of bringing these poor people to other people's homes.
After the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, there are no more taboos, and everything between relatives and friends is as usual, and you can interact with each other normally.
Early on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, people began to come to the door. Several masters and uncles from the Xingyi Bagua, as well as people from several sects of the Samurai Association, brought their apprentices to pay "New Year's greetings" to the old man.
In the palace hall, everyone is there.
"Brother, think twice. There has never been a female child as the head of the family since ancient times. When word spread, others thought we had no one in Xingyi Bagua."
"Yes, senior brother, this girl will get married sooner or later. Then she will no longer be a member of the Gong family. How can she take over from the Gong family!"
"Well, Ma San, you have been raised by us since you were young. We have watched you grow up. Your character and skills are top-notch, and we all recognize it."
Everyone was trying to persuade them, but Mr. Gong sat on his chair with his eyes closed, as if he didn't hear anything.
Lin En was chewing sugar cane in her mouth and watching without saying a word.
The eldest lady suddenly said: "These are my father's senior fellow apprentices and disciple brothers. Logically speaking, I shouldn't talk too much, but the things I mentioned are related to me, so I have to say a few words for myself."
"I know what everyone is worried about. In front of everyone, I, Gong Ruomei, swear that I will never marry outside the family in my life!"
The voice is fresh and crisp, but it is determined and will not look back even if it hits the wall!
There was a sudden silence in the hall, everyone looked at her, and Mr. Gong suddenly opened his eyes, stared at her and said:
"Have you thought about it clearly? We people can't swear casually. Once we swear, we have to count it for the rest of our lives!"
The eldest lady nodded without hesitation and said: "Dad, don't worry, I am your daughter, I will never go back on my promise and embarrass you!"
Before the old man opened his mouth, the uncles and uncles became anxious.
They came this time to take advantage of Ma San and persuade the old man to give up the idea of the eldest lady. Unexpectedly, the matter did not work out, but instead got worse, so they hurriedly tried to persuade him again.
"My virtuous niece, a woman should look like a woman, why should she be in public all day long?"
"Yes, yes, get married early and take care of your husband and raise your children is what you should do! Don't get involved in men's affairs blindly!"
Several people began to lecture around the eldest lady! The eldest lady had a strong temper, but she had never experienced such persuasion as a shrew, so she didn't know what to do.
"Shut up" --- Lin En breathed like thunder and roared, causing the tea cups in the hall to burst at the same moment!
The hearts of several old men jumped violently, and they almost jumped up, looking at him with horrified eyes.
"You old immortals, my master is still here! When will it be your turn to make the decision on the Gong family's affairs?"
"If you dare to say nonsense again, I will knock out all your teeth! You are a fool!"
Under Lin En's cold gaze, the expressions of several old men turned pale.
The name of the person, the shadow of the tree, and Lin En's achievements were all there. Even if they were tied together, they wouldn't be enough for him to punch them.
They came this time because they knew about Lin En's unwillingness to take over.
Thinking of relying on one's elders, relying on one's seniority, one dared to come over and make peace.
Unexpectedly, Lin En didn't show any respect for the world and dared to scold them in front of them!
Several people were trembling with anger, but they didn't dare to vent their anger on Lin En, so they could only avoid looking at her.
He looked at Mr. Gong as if asking for help, hoping that he could "justice" for him and others.
"Ahem!" The old man coughed twice and looked at Lin En with a gentle expression.
"Lynn, these are your elders. How can you talk to your elders like this? You will be fined one year's salary."
Several old men were stunned!
What kind of punishment is this?
Who doesn’t know how big of a business Lin En is now in charge of? The money he makes in one day is more than his entire family fortune!
Money? I’m afraid he doesn’t even know he still has this money!
Lin En nodded and admitted his mistake with a smile on his face, "I'm sorry, Master, I was wrong!"
He turned to look at the old men and said:
"I've always been a person who helps relatives but not others. I never follow the rules. I can do anything like putting sacks or knocking on sap. This is by no means a threat. I just want to briefly introduce myself!"
This is a living of two hundred and fifty! Several old men turned their heads away from him angrily.
But the man sat down obediently, not daring to say another word.
What people didn't expect was that Ma San suddenly spoke at this time.
"Junior sister is making progress, and as a senior brother, I should also support her."
"Let's do this. I'll compete with my junior sister. It's just a competition between senior brothers and sisters. From now on, I'll just listen to my master at home and find someone to marry."
Ma San was secretly happy that everything today was developing according to his vision.
Ever since he knew that the eldest lady wanted to compete with him, he asked his apprentice to give gifts to some old men overnight.
Based on his understanding of the master's and junior sister's tempers, they rarely go back on what they have determined, but after all, this matter is just a matter of words now.
So let these old men come over and stir things up, and the matter will be settled!
When the time comes, he can defeat his junior sister and get out of the current embarrassing situation.
Become the legitimate successor of the Gong family recognized by everyone!
