Wen Yao glanced at him lightly and said, "You deserve it too!"
Wen Sheng's expression changed drastically: "Wen Yao, don't go too far..."
Wen Yao looked at him, and Wen Sheng remembered Wen Yao's temper and shut up angrily.
Wen Yao walked to the main seat, looked at her uncle, and said, "Give way."
The uncle is not convinced either. He is the clan leader and Wen Yao doesn't give any face in front of so many people. He and Wen Yao were equals in the past.
Wen Yao stared at him coldly, and finally the uncle had no choice but to stand up and give up his seat.
Wen Yao ordered: "Change the chair. It's dirty. From now on, only the head of the family can sit on the main seat, not anyone else."
The uncle's face turned red: "Wen Yao, you are so disrespectful to your elders."
Wen Yao sneered: "Elders? Do you look like elders? Here, I only look at things and not people. If you want me to respect you, you have to do something that elders should do.
You took advantage of my injury to annex my family business, bully my younger brother, and still want me to respect you. Are you afraid you have Alzheimer's disease?"
A new chair was delivered and covered with thick soft cushions. Wen Yao sat down and looked down at everyone: "Tell me, who supports Wen Sheng as the head of the family?"
When everyone saw Wen Yao, their momentum dropped by three points, but they still said bravely: "Miss, you see you are getting married soon. Wen Yu is really not the head of the family. He has lost so much money this time.
There is no way to explain it!
This kid Wen Sheng is very capable and we are part of the same family, why not let him try?"
Wen Yao nodded: "Okay."
Wen Yu couldn't believe it, and everyone was overjoyed and praised her: "The eldest lady still has an overall view of the situation, and she is worthy of being the princess of the world."
"Yes, once the family is well, we can also help the eldest lady. The eldest lady is generous."
"You should learn from the eldest lady. Only with her magnanimity can you achieve great things!"
Wen Yao waited for them to finish talking and continued: "I have no objection to whoever is the head of your family property, but the property of my house has nothing to do with you, so you don't need to worry about it."
The uncle's face changed: "Wen Yao, what do you mean?"
Wen Yao asked someone to fetch a stack of paperwork and handed it to them: "The money you paid back then was for the family business, and the dividends and properties purchased over the years have all been recorded.
Let's settle the accounts now. When I get married, these things will be troublesome.
Although we are members of the same clan, each family has its own thoughts, and people are selfish. No one is willing to share the money they earn with others, and brothers can still settle accounts clearly."
The uncle threw down the paperwork: "How much money can we share? The Wen family now also has inns, restaurants, caravans, embroidery houses and other properties. I have checked them all. There are more than 500 of them, worth at least 200.
How do you plan to divide the ten thousand taels of silver?"
The Wen family definitely not only has millions of taels of silver, most of it is fixed assets, but also has a backlog of goods. Two million taels is a small amount.
But it is impossible to exchange it for money, unless the Wen family really goes bankrupt.
Moreover, these shops were bought by Wen Yao, not rented. If they were sold, it would be a huge sum of money.
What Wen Yu was selling was land, mountains, forests and ponds that were easy to sell, mainly because the land deeds were in Wen Yao's hands, so he couldn't sell them even if he wanted to.
Wen Yao was confused: "Do these things... have anything to do with you?"
"Why doesn't it matter? It belongs to the family."
"No, it's mine, not the family's. The family's dividends were all exchanged for land, and fixed assets such as mountains and forests were sold by Wen Yu at a loss.
I purchased the inn and other properties independently and did not interfere with the family business. You can take a look and ask whoever you want to check the accounts. I also have evidence and I am not afraid of you checking."
Everyone was stunned, "Wen Yao, you actually have a hidden agenda. You are so insidious."
Wen Yao was nonchalant and a little happy, saying: "Insidious? If I am forced to bully others like this by you, I am a good person. If I plan for a rainy day, I am insidious?"
Ladies and gentlemen, in these years you have been able to live a prosperous and prosperous life now. Who has closed the door and become a master, with a bunch of slaves and concubines waiting on you? Compared with ten years ago, you were still farming in the countryside.
Have you worked hard for these wealthy days by yourselves?
Because of your support for me back then, I have given you a life of wealth and honor these years, but it is a pity that you are so greedy that you have even swallowed up my family's property. I am gentle and gentle yet, so don't look too ugly!"
Wen Yao shouted coldly, which made them tremble in fright. They all lowered their eyes and said nothing, not daring to look at Wen Yao's eyes.
The uncle was dissatisfied: "But Wen Yu sold these fields and properties, and they are all our money. You can't just ignore them?"
Wen Yu said: "I am responsible for all my work. It has nothing to do with the family. You can do whatever you want with me."
"Pay back the money. Your house hasn't been divided yet. If you don't pay back, we will live in your house. The house will be given to us. If you lose money, it's your business. We can't let us suffer losses."
Everyone agreed: "Yes, you must pay back the money, even if you lose a penny."
Wen Yao watched them making noise indifferently, and when they had vented enough, she asked, "Is this what you all think?"
Some cousins were kinder and stood up and said: "Miss, we don't want that money anymore. With the dividends you gave us over the years, we have bought enough properties to live on. If it weren't for you, we would still be farming in the countryside. Where would we be?"
There are prosperous days now.
You have to be content as a person, we don't force Wen Yu to pay back the money, he also wants to make money, and there is no way to make money forever in business."
The uncle sneered: "You are kind-hearted. How can she be so gentle and save such a small amount of money? She can pay us back what she has leaked from her fingers. Why are you pretending to be a good person?"
"Uncle, there is no one who can only take advantage and not take risks. We don't want it anyway, you can do whatever you want."
Wen Yao nodded, not everyone is heartless, these cousins can deal with it.
"I have calculated this year's accounts clearly. Each family should have received one hundred thousand taels of silver, but Wen Yu took away all of it and sold the family property, resulting in a loss of one million taels of silver. This is a fact.
The current solution is that if you don’t pay dividends, I will return the land to you. Whether you divide the family or run it together is your business.
Are you willing to accept it?"
The uncle was silent and finally asked: "What about the future?"
Wen Yao smiled: "In the future? There is no future. You don't still want to suck blood from my house, right? My brothers are all useless, and I am also married. I don't have the ability to work as a cow or a horse for you. In the end, I still want to suck blood."
Just complain for a while."
The uncle narrowed his eyes: "You want to leave the clan!"
Wen Yao: "If you want to think so, that's fine."
Everyone looked at each other, how dare Wen Yao?
Wen Yao has had this idea for a long time, but she just didn’t have the chance, so why didn’t she dare?
The Wen family is rich because of her. It's not that she relies on the Wen family, it's not that she doesn't have an overall view of the clan, but she is disappointed. Why do she have to work so hard on herself and raise so many white-eyed wolves?
"You, you are being treasonous. If you leave the clan today and your grandfather's branch is no longer in the family tree, think about it carefully."
Wen Yao said: "Then let's rebuild a family tree starting from my grandfather. I believe that my grandfather's descendants will make our branch more promising."
The uncle choked. Wen Yao was not an ordinary person. She couldn't do anything.
Now Wen Zhao and Wen Yang are bachelors of the Hanlin Academy and noble civil servants. If Wen Yao established a separate family tree, their family would be the family of officials, while the rest of the Wen family would still be merchants and farmers.
He finally figured out that it was them who begged Wen Yao not to leave the clan, not Wen Yao who insisted on staying.
Wen Yu also thought clearly, the big sister's attack hit the target, the big sister is still the big sister, she will always be so powerful.
The uncle couldn't help Wen Yao and deceived Wen Liang'an, "Liang An, are you really going to be rebellious and abandon your ancestors? You have to know how big a deal it is to break away from the clan. In the future, your family will not have any ancestors to worship your ancestors. You are too
Grandpa, Grandpa Grandpa’s generation doesn’t want it anymore?”
Wen Liang'an was a little confused. He was soft-hearted and had no independent opinions. He seemed to make sense, "Yao Yao..."
"Then move their bones out. In the future, when the second brother and the third brother are successful, they may be buried near the imperial mausoleum at the foot of Qinglong Mountain. I think the ancestors will be happy to move."
Everyone was breathing rapidly. The area near the imperial mausoleum was filled with dragon energy, and future generations would enjoy the blessings. If it were them, they would just lie down in the coffin.
The uncle's pupils shrank, and he felt a sense of frustration. Wen Yao was not Wen Yu. She had many ideas and tough methods, but it was not easy to control.
"Yaoyao, we have something to discuss, why are all the clansmen so upset?"
The uncle forced out a smile and gave in to her.
Wen Yao took a sip of tea and smiled sarcastically: "Uncle, didn't you force me to do this? You are the clan leader and you can't tolerate our tribe. What can we do?"
"My uncle is confused. Let's forget about the past. Let's forget about it. Yaoyao, don't be angry."
Wen Yao: "I'm not angry, how big of a deal is it to make me angry? Then I've been angry to death for so many years.
Since bygones are bygones, what about Wen Yu..."
The uncle's heart was bleeding. That was one million taels of silver. He gritted his teeth and said: "In business, there are losses and profits. It's normal. Forget it. Forget it."
Wen Yao nodded: "Wen Yu, thank you uncle."
Wen Yu cupped his hands and felt relieved: "Thank you, uncle. This cousin wants to take over my family's property. This matter..."
"You're kidding, he doesn't have that ability."
Wen Yao added: "Wen Yu also made mistakes. He was headstrong, willful, and believed in slander, which caused heavy losses to the family. The elders stopped him in the first place. You said so yourself. You are responsible for all the consequences.
Now, I have decided that Wen Yu will be expelled from the Wen family and will no longer be a descendant of the Wen family. Uncle, let's get the genealogy."
Wen Yu looked at her in disbelief: "Sister, are you going to expel me from the house?"
"This is what you should bear, Wen Yu. No one should have to pay for your mistakes for the rest of their lives."
Wen Yu gradually showed his hatred: "But you can help me, do you have to treat me like this? You are still cold-blooded and ruthless, you have never changed!
Fortunately, I was so moved just now. I regret that I shouldn’t have contradicted you. Now you want to destroy me again, Wen Yao, do you really want to be so heartless?"
