Chapter 262 The tribes forced the palace to seize the family property
Wen Nuan still doesn't know what's going on outside. It can be seen that in the past, he used to be a demon because he was free, but now he just wants to rest for a while. He is too tired.
Rubbing his shoulders, he complained to Wen Yu: "Brother, this princess is really not a human being. I can't stand it anymore. I still have to study the Four Books and Five Classics, and it's not to take the top exam. What's the use of studying all that?"
Wen Yu interrupted her: "Sixth sister, something big happened, and we won't get our money back.
It turns out that King Xuan lied to us. There is no iron mine at all, and it will not be undertaken by private individuals. This is all the family's funds. Now the family elders have opened an ancestral hall. What should I do? Please help me find a way.
ah!"
Wen Nuan was stunned for a moment, his eyes flickered, and he subconsciously wanted to shirk responsibility, "How is it possible? Have you seen the prince?"
Wen Yu said: "The foreign man who was in contact with us at the Ministry of Industry had his house confiscated and exiled, and his family members were sold. It was terrible. I saw Chen Songyuan. He was so dishonest. If the prince hadn't come forward, Chen Songyuan would have dared to beat me.
Sixth sister, what did King Xuan tell you back then? Can you ask him to beg for mercy? Now I don’t want to get rich, I just want the money back."
Wen Nuan also felt that he was naive. The money had gone into other people's pockets, how could he hand it over so easily?
"Brother, you have also seen that I can't go out at all. I am also working very hard. Why don't you go and beg eldest sister? Since the prince has come forward, he will definitely help you. Help others to the end. Big sister can't
Are you going to die without saving me?"
Wen Yu said in shame: "Eldest sister was retaliated by a foreigner and was injured. Besides, how can I have the nerve to beg eldest sister? The prince said that if I dare to disturb eldest sister's recovery, deal with me first.
Sixth sister, as long as you can help me now, please think of a way!"
Wen Nuan didn't want to get involved, so he pulled out his hand and said: "I can't help it, I just help pull the strings, big brother, you make your own decision.
Those clan elders are all old and immortal. How much money have they made from our family over the years? All this money belongs to our family. Isn’t it normal to make losses and profits when doing business?
Don't be afraid of them, love them as you like.
I'm still busy, brother, don't worry too much, they don't dare to do anything to you."
"Sixth sister, it's not like this..."
Wen Nuan had already left. Wen Yu looked at her hurried back, feeling that the sixth sister was also trying to avoid him, and felt a chill in his heart. No one would help him.
Another boy came to urge him. The clan elder couldn't wait any longer. Wen Yu had to go even if he didn't want to go.
Wen Yu had no choice but to walk to the ancestral hall with heavy steps.
As soon as you enter the door, you will see the uncle sitting on the main seat. He is the highest-ranking member of the Wen family and the patriarch of the Wen family. He is in charge of the Wen family's ancestral hall, school, sacrificial fields, family sacrifices and other matters.
The uncle had a long and thin face, with bags under his eyes. His small eyes showed a little light, and he looked fierce and shrewd.
"Uncle, what do you want from me?"
"What's the matter? Why are you pretending to be confused? Have you forgotten what you promised? Is so much money just wasted?"
Wen Yu defended: "I have tried my best to recover it. There is no way to make a profit without losing money in business. If you give me a little more time, I will reduce the loss to a minimum."
The uncle snorted coldly: "What's the minimum? I don't care how you do business. I only know that with one decision of yours, the family's money will be lost. You must bear this responsibility."
Wen Yu also lost his temper and said: "I said, I will get this money back. It will take time, so don't force me!"
"Forcing you?"
Everyone is disdainful, what is his attitude?
The uncle looked at Wen Liang'an: "Nephew Liang'an, this is your son, what do you think of his attitude?
I have told you before that he is not capable enough to be the head of the family. If you insist on letting him take charge of the family business, look at how long it took before millions of taels of silver were gone."
Wen Liangan was submissive: "Uncle is right, I don't understand these things either. You can just decide how to deal with it."
Wen Yu looked at him disappointedly: "Father, I am your son. Even if you help me, you still come with them to force me. Are you my biological father?"
Wen Liangan was furious: "You did something wrong, shouldn't you bear it? What did you ask me to do? I didn't ask you to pay for it!"
Wen Yu was heartbroken and gave up completely: "You can do whatever you want."
The uncle showed a smile and said: "Just admit your mistake. Our opinion is to deprive you of your identity as the head of the family, hand over all the family business, let Wen Sheng take over, and still retain your identity as a member of the Wen family."
Wen Yu looked at him in disbelief: "Impossible, this is my family's property, and it was bought by my eldest sister. You clan elders just took a little capital at the beginning, and you have divided it enough over the years. Now,
You still want to annex my family’s property, it’s just a dream!”
The uncle's face turned cold: "But now these properties are gone and you have ruined them all. How did you promise that day? I invited you to leave the family. I have been very kind and did not expel you from the clan. What else do you want?"
?
If you are not that good, you have to step down and make way for someone more talented. If you had 10% of your eldest sister's ability, you wouldn't have turned things into what they are now."
Wen Yu said stubbornly: "I don't agree. Even if you expel me from the Wen family, I will not hand over the family property. This belongs to my family. You are really greedy. What you say is better than what you sing. You want my family."
The industry has made it clear, so why bother trying to accuse me of it in a pretentious manner?
Even if my decision fails, it’s still my family’s business, and I didn’t take a penny from you, so why do you want my family’s property?”
The uncle narrowed his eyes: "Wen Yu, I understand that you are not willing to give in, but if you do something wrong, you will have to pay the price. If you are kicked out of the Wen family, someone will still have to take care of those properties.
Which of your brothers can handle this? It’s better to let Wen Sheng manage it. It’s all for the good of the family. You’re too useless and selfish.”
Wen Sheng is the uncle's eldest grandson and Wen Yu's cousin. He walked out at this time and said with a proud face: "Thank you all for your support. I have been in charge of my family's industry these years. When I took over, the profit has doubled."
Times, I have full confidence in reviving the Wen family.
Cousin, you made a huge mistake. This is the best outcome. Don’t worry, your family’s dividends will definitely be the largest. Isn’t it a good idea to just sit back and take the money?"
Everyone nodded, "Xiao Sheng's ability is indeed good, and he must be better than Wen Yu."
"That's right. He has been studying for so many years and has accomplished nothing. He should have let Xiao Sheng stay with the eldest lady in the first place, and he would not have lost so much money like he did now."
The corners of Wen Liangan's lips curled up, and his face was confused. How could things become like this?
Wen Yu has already understood that they are here to carve up their own property today. He feels sorry for his eldest sister and his family.
Wen Liangan finally asked: "No, what do you mean? Why do you let Wen Sheng take care of the family business?"
Wen Sheng said: "Uncle, the Wen family is now in a state of life and death. My cousin has lost millions of taels of silver. If the situation cannot be reversed in time, I am afraid it will go bankrupt, and the house you live in now will not be saved."
"I will manage the family property and guarantee to give you half of the dividend every year. You can still live a wealthy life, just like now."
"In addition to these, I will also give you one hundred thousand taels of silver per year as a token of filial piety to your uncle."
Wen Liangan looked happy. His family was rich, but it was all family money, so he took those monthly payments and dividends. Although they were enough to spend, they were also restrictive. They were paid on a monthly basis and were not free enough.
Now we can live the same life as before, but we can still get an extra hundred thousand taels of silver. No matter how you look at it, it’s a good deal.
"Okay, that's good. Just be the same as before."
Wen Yu laughed angrily: "Father, you are so stupid. Are you happy to be sold out?"
Wen Liangan has no ability but good face. His son dared to scold me, and he got angry: "You bastard, who are you scolding? You have lost money yourself, and I am embarrassed by you, so you still have the nerve to scold me?
This matter has been settled, please reflect on it."
A sarcastic smile appeared on Wen Sheng's lips. The father and son were much easier to deal with than the eldest lady. It was finally time for his family to feel proud.
"Uncle Yingming, it's settled. This is the appointment document of the head of the family. Wen Yu, you sign and fingerprint it, and hand over the family's account books and seal."
Wen Yu shook his head: "I don't know how to hand it over, don't dream about it, you are so capable, you can earn your own business just like your elder sister, there is no way you can occupy my house.
Wen Sheng, my eldest sister is still at home. If you do this, aren't you afraid that my eldest sister will settle a score with you?"
Wen Sheng naturally thought of Wen Yao, but he heard that she was seriously injured and could not protect herself. How could she take care of the family business?
Besides, she had stopped caring about things a long time ago. After all, the girls who got married belonged to other people's families, and it was not her turn to interfere in the Wen family's affairs. That's why Wen Sheng had the courage to swallow up the Wen family's property.
"I'm not afraid even if your eldest sister comes. This is the decision of the whole clan. How can she, a daughter who is about to get married, go against the whole clan?"
Wen Yu's heart sank. Does the eldest sister really not care about the family?
Thinking about the things he did in the past, the eldest sister became more and more cold and disappointed, and finally felt regretful. He made too many mistakes!
"Wen Sheng, I didn't realize you were so ambitious before. If you want to swallow up my family's property, I'm not afraid of killing you!"
Wen Yao's voice sounded from outside the door, and everyone's expressions changed drastically. Why did Wen Yao come here? Isn't she unable to bear serious injuries?
Wen Yu had a glimmer of hope and couldn't help but shed tears. His eldest sister was like his savior, appearing when he was most desperate.
Wen Yao's face was pale, and she walked in holding Zhiqin's hand. She glanced at the clan elders with indifferent eyes. They all greeted her politely, not daring to look at Wen Yao's eyes.
Wen Sheng's expression was unnatural, "Wen Yao, you see you are still injured. Your health is the most important thing. I can't write two words "Wen" in one sentence. I am your cousin, and I also want to contribute to the family and help you share your worries.
