As soon as Li Laosan finished speaking, Li Youcai's grandson Li Qingshang was no longer willing.
"What are you talking about, Third Uncle? How come my father and I have become enemies?"
"Brother Qingshang, the people in this room who are least qualified to speak are our juniors. You'd better be quiet." Li Qingshan said quietly, with a look of disdain, "Whether Brother Huizi will be given his share or not is not something you and I should worry about. Even so.
There’s nothing wrong with not giving. After all, when people think about their affection, how many of them appreciate it?”
"What do you mean?" Li Qingshang was not convinced.
"Do I need to explain clearly what I mean?" Li Qingshan asked.
Li Qingshang wanted to say something, but his grandfather held him down.
Although the old man is shameless, his mind is always on the line. Regarding the status of his grandson and Li Qingshan in the clan, it is the latter who has to be tough.
The reason why Li Qingshan was able to join the clan was partly because of Li Qingchuan who died in the battle, and partly because of Li Qingchun's efforts to promote it.
After taking over the Li family, he knew that it was not easy to reverse the current situation, so he had to cultivate his own people. Li Qingshan was one of them. He had the same position as himself, and he was not a villain who did not take enough advantage.
The fact that his father's death could be redressed was due to Li Hui's friendship with the county magistrate. It was Li Hui's advice to Li Zheng that the family was able to receive compensation for Li Fang's ten acres of land.
He keeps these in mind and dare not forget them.
"Grandpa Third Uncle, don't let Brother Qingshang come next time the clan discusses things. He is not calm and sophisticated enough."
Li Youcai still wanted to persist, but Li Qingchun didn't give him a chance. He stood up and looked at everyone and said:
"As for the share you just mentioned, I have made it clear that I will not ask for it from the Li Hui brothers. Their family has done a lot for the clan, and all of you here are shameless people. No one is like Li Fang and his son who have not taken advantage of it.
You're a beast.
Nowadays, the school is no longer a family school, so don’t let Brother Li Hui go here and there under the banner of family food. Whose children will be raised? If you are missing a father and a mother who cannot support you, come to me and I will find a way."
"..."
"..."
"..."
After the words fell, the room became quiet.
If there is a rebuttal, then admit that you are the same as Li Fang and his son. Even if you think that way in your heart, you still have to face it.
Seeing everyone calm down, Li Laosan stood up with a sigh and said:
"My little grandson once said something that made me blush. Do you know what it was? He asked me, Uncle Li Hui gave things to the clan, was it because the clan raised him?
When I can't sleep at night, I raise my pillow and think about the sins I have committed over the years! I don't ask for anything else, I just want to have a good breath before I die, and don't delay it for a year and a half, and there is no filial son at the bedside of a long illness."<
/p>
At Li Laosan's age, the most inevitable things are old age, illness, and death. Farmers often say, "You don't want a good life, but you want a good death." Anyone who can sleep or sleep through it is the result of accumulated blessings. I'm afraid.
I'm afraid that it would be too painful to stay paralyzed on the kang for three to five years.
After Li Laosan finished speaking, he stood up and left. The other clan elders looked at me and I looked at you, all with serious expressions. The timid ones followed directly, while the bold ones stayed to see what else would happen later. p>
In the final analysis, it’s just that people’s hearts are not as good as snakes swallowing elephants, and eating looks ugly!
Li Qingchun glanced at the remaining clan elders, rubbed his swollen temples, and said:
"I have something to inform you in advance. There is no clan science in the clan now, and there are not many clan elders needed. I will discuss it with Li Hui and Li Zheng another day to streamline the clan members. The older ones will be taken care of at home.
Tiannian, don’t worry about it anymore.”
"Bang——"
Li Youcai knocked on the table and roared:
"Dachun, what do you mean by this?"
"Grandpa Third Uncle, you are getting older, and there are not so many things in the clan. You can go home and rest from now on, and don't interfere in the affairs of the Li clan."
"You...you..."
Obviously Li Youcai didn't expect Li Qingchun to speak directly, so he was trembling with anger and his lips were trembling. If his grandson hadn't taken action in time to hold down his man, he would have passed away.
Li Qingshan looked on and said with a smile:
"Why, Grandpa Sanshu is still a fan of officials. He treats the elder of the clan as an errand and is reluctant to let go?"
"Li Qingshan, shut up——"
"You are the one who should shut up the most, Li Qingshang! After all, there is a warrior in my family. I am the warrior's younger brother. I join the clan to clear away the evil spirit of the Li clan.
What about you? Four of your five brothers got tuberculosis when they were drafted. How are they feeling now? If not, just stay home and stay away, tuberculosis is contagious."
As a reminder in Li Qingshan's words, the elders who were standing next to the grandfather and grandson all stood up and stood away from each other, covering their noses with their hands. Li Qingchun took the opportunity to speak, and "invited" the grandfather and grandson out of the ancestral hall on the pretext of "recuperating".
.
After the people left, he looked at the remaining people and said:
"If there is any news in the clan in the future, I will tell everyone publicly. I am not Li Fang, I have no fame, and I only have one life, so I have to do things cautiously and with a clear conscience. Let's get over it now.
What are you doing? I’m going to lock the door."
When everyone saw what he said, they left one after another.
It can be said that Li Qingchun's toughness today is entirely due to the mayor. After all, he is the clan leader designated by the mayor. Even if everyone has opinions, they have to hold it in and not mention it.
Li Qingchun locked the door of the ancestral hall, looked at Li Qingshan waiting aside, and said:
"Follow me to Huizi's house?"
"Okay, then I'll go home and get some eggs."
"Okay, let's meet at the intersection after a cup of tea." After Li Qingchun finished speaking, he hurried home.
They were all polite to the Li Hui family, and they were supposed to go when they were selected as scholars, but at that time they made it clear that they would not accept it. This time, they had to accept it, otherwise they would not have the chance to repay the gift after they went to Beijing to take the exam.
Li Qingchun's wife prepared thirty eggs and twenty cents for her. It was much more than what Li Hui gave her that day, but she had taken advantage of it in those years... Well, let's not mention it.
"Brother Dachun, I prepared twenty coins and thirty eggs, what about you?"
"We are the same."
"Why did you give so much?" Li Qingshan was puzzled.
He gave more because after his brother died in the war, he provided material for his birthday, helped build a commemorative monument, and even stepped forward to help his sister-in-law.
"We are in similar situations. You forgot, my family just got ten acres of land a while ago."
"Oh, yes, forget about this."
While talking, the two walked side by side towards the village.
Arriving in front of Li Hui's courtyard, Li Heng was playing with the dog in the yard.
"Tiedan, open the door for uncle. Uncle has something to do with your father."
Li Heng stood up after hearing this and said loudly on purpose:
"Ah, you are the patriarch, why are you so free? Didn't Uncle Qingshan go to the forest farm?"
"I didn't go, I took my sister-in-law to the town to see a doctor today."
"What's wrong with Aunt Qingchuan?"
He didn't even open the door just asking, because his father told him not to open it casually.
Li Hui in the room heard the words and came out, pretending to be harsh and reprimanded:
"What are you asking? Why don't you open the door quickly?"
Li Hui walked to the door in a few steps, touched the top of his son's hair, winked, and then opened the courtyard door...
