After hearing what A Lan said, Elder Jian felt very sad. He really did not expect that the elders of the clan would become like this. Such a big thing happened, and the elders of the clan actually solved it in private. When interrogating the three elders
, and didn't tell him. If he hadn't been curious about why it was so lively outside and went to the ancestral hall with him, he wouldn't have known that so many things had happened until now.
Originally, he was very happy after seeing A-Lan in the ancestral hall and planned to take A-Lan to have a good chat. He did not expect that this time A-Lan came to the ancestral hall because the clan decided to deal with him. Although he did not know what happened, he was willing to
I believe that A-Lan is not the cold-blooded person they say. So, I listened carefully to A-Lan's words. Although his words were careless, they made sense.
On the contrary, Elder Lu unreasonably believed that A Lan was a cold-blooded person, and he directed his words towards the three elders, which made him feel that something was wrong. Originally, he planned to ask the elders of the clan first what happened during this period.
What happened? Unexpectedly, the elders were hesitant and refused to open their mouths, so he had no choice but to come over and see A-Lan in person.
"It's not too late for you to know now. I know you have never been interested in clan affairs, but your eldest brother takes care of the business. Shouldn't you share the burden for him?" the master said with a cold face.
Elder Jian was very ashamed and said to him: "The owner of the valley said so."
The master sighed, knowing that Elder Jian could not be entirely blamed, so he said: "Actually, I know that this cannot be entirely your fault. The old man also knew that you had no intention of taking care of the clan's affairs, so he handed everything over to the clan leader.
.The patriarch is not from the Leng family, so many elders may not completely obey him, so you should know what to do next, right?"
Elder Jian nodded and said sincerely: "I know what the Valley Master means, and I will also ask Ayu to help me take care of the clan's affairs in the future."
"Actually... it's okay to let Ayu try to help you take care of it. However, you have to fundamentally make these elders obey him, so as not to have them violate the law." The master ordered.
"Where has the Valley Master been in the past ten years?" Elder Jian asked.
"Actually, I have been living in Zhuangzi, and occasionally I come back to check the pulse of A-Lan's mother. This time I met A-Lan, and I realized that A-Lan's mother's condition is not very good," said the master.
"I heard Ah Lan say that thanks to your treatment, she is recovering well now," Elder Jian said.
"I was not the one who cured A-Lan's mother. I could only control the toxins in her body. It was my disciple who cured her. Since A-Lan told you, I believe you should also know that A-Lan's father and mother will be back soon.
, and A-Lan’s father is not a lecher at all.” Master said.
"When my eldest brother heard the news, I was furious. I didn't expect that it would turn out like this. If my eldest brother knew about it, he would definitely be comforted," Elder Jian said.
"I was still young back then. After investigation this time when I came back, I found out that it turned out that what happened back then was not spread among the public at all. It was all three elders. It was they who bribed the beggar to spread the matter.
.If it were not for this reason, grandpa would not have become seriously ill." A Lan said angrily.
"I thought they were just dissatisfied with your grandfather's decision. I didn't expect that they had already done things they shouldn't have done at that time. I really underestimated their ambition. I really didn't expect that something like this would happen again many years later." Elder Jian said.
"Actually, there is a reason why they did this this time. I believe you can also see that their relationship with other elders in the clan is not simple, so they are so arrogant. The third elder has always been confident, and this time,
They must be very confident to replace me. They want to control the business and plan to take the Leng family's business as their own. This time they spread rumors first because my father needs medical treatment and naturally cannot come back at this time. If the clan makes a decision,
There was nothing I could do. But I didn’t expect that after finding the evidence, the clan would be indifferent and let the three elders live freely. I really couldn’t bear it, so I caught my cousin and tried to make the three elders admit their mistakes. I overestimated the clan’s
With the elder’s ability, I didn’t expect that they would give in because of their immediate interests.” A-Lan said to Elder Jian.
"It seems that this time we not only need Ayu's help, but also your help." Elder Jian said.
"By the way, actually I recommend someone, but I wonder if Elder Jian will reuse him?" Alan asked.
"Tell me, is it Ren Zi?" Elder Jian asked.
Elder Jian thought that the person A-Lan mentioned was Uncle Ren. After all, Grandpa A-Lan also trusted Uncle Ren very much back then. Uncle Ren was in his early twenties at that time, and Grandpa A-Lan was already very dependent on him in business.
"Of course not. Uncle Ren is already very busy in the shop. I am talking about another person. That is my brother, Ah Feng." Ah Lan said.
Elder Jian could tell what A-Lan meant. It seemed that A-Lan specially arranged for A-Feng to stay in the clan often in order to train A-Feng. He did not expect A-Lan to do this, because he always knew that A-Lan hated that woman.
He still knew something about what happened back then, but Alan's father was too dissatisfied, so he didn't bother to get involved.
Since A-Lan hates that woman, he naturally hates the child born to that woman. He did not expect that A-Lan was kind to that child. He heard that the woman ignored the child and had been with A-Lan since he was a child. A-Lan
If you wanted to kill him, Ah Feng would probably be gone long ago.
"Are you really planning to reuse Ah Feng?" Elder Jian asked cautiously.
"Elder Jian, Ah Feng also suffered a lot of grievances when he was a child. In fact, that woman came to the Leng family for a purpose, but you are not what you think. What she coveted was not the Leng family's business. After Ah Feng was born,
She never cared about this child, so much so that even her grandma bullied him. This time after I came back from Fengtian Sect, that woman also changed a lot. I have to be merciful and merciful, so I chose to give her a chance
Opportunity. Ah Feng is different from me. I chose to stay in the Leng family to take care of the business because of my promise to my grandfather. Ah Feng is very talented in business, so of course I have to give him a chance to practice," said Ah Lan.
.
"You mean A Feng has a talent in this area, so you are going to give him a chance to practice. Are you planning to leave the business to him in the future?" Elder Jian asked in surprise.
"What's wrong with this? They are all descendants of the Leng family. Who is in charge of the business is different?" A Lan asked.
"The head of the Leng family must be the legitimate son and grandson. A Feng is the concubine. It is not impossible to do business, but it is not allowed to be the head. I think you should understand, so you won't mess around, right?" Jane
The elder said.
"Elder Jian, I think if my second uncle was still alive, my grandfather would have handed over the business of the Leng family to him long ago, and the head of the Leng family would be my second uncle instead of me. Even if A Feng is a concubine, he
If you serve the Leng family wholeheartedly, why can't you let him take care of business matters? Elders in the clan should not have any prejudices. I believe A Feng will not let everyone down. I think the clan can accept the three elders.
You should be able to accept Ah Feng." Ah Lan said.
"Although your second uncle is the second son, he is the second legitimate son. There is a difference between direct concubines and concubines. You don't know. The rules of the Leng family have not changed for hundreds of years. Do you want to challenge the rules of the Leng family?" Elder Jian was excited.
said.
"Elder Jian, I don't want to challenge the Leng family's clan rules. Moreover, after the three elders violated the clan rules, didn't they still come out well? I just think that the Leng family needs capable people. Ah Feng has this ability. We
Why not reuse it?" Alan said.
Elder Jian was speechless when Ah Lan said it. Of course he was right. After all, the Leng family needs people who can really do things for the Leng family. The three elders are actually members of the Leng family, but they started planning ten years ago.
He wants to take the Leng family as his own.
Elder Jian kept thinking about what A-Lan said, so he didn't speak again because it was getting late. A-Lan arranged Elder Jian in the guest room. Elder Jian was lying on the couch thinking about the past events that A-Lan told him today.
He couldn't sleep for a while. It seemed that the three elders had always been unconvinced by the eldest brother's decision. They looked down on Alan's father. At that time, Alan was still young, and they thought that the eldest brother would let one of them take care of the business, but instead
Unexpectedly, the eldest brother still chose A Lan. He couldn't understand what happened to the patriarch and why there was such a big change. The patriarch has been following his eldest brother. He is a person whom his eldest brother trusts very much. How could he do something disappointing?
Woolen cloth?
Moreover, what A-Lan said today was indeed correct. He once heard the clan leader mention that A-Feng's performance had always been very good, but because he was not A-Lan, he didn't pay too much attention to it.
Early the next morning, after Elder Jian had a simple breakfast, he left the Leng Mansion alone. The servants didn't know when Elder Jian left, so they hurried to the small courtyard to report.
"Elder Jian went out alone? Did he say where he went?" Alan asked.
"No, Elder Jian didn't mention going out when he had breakfast, so no one noticed when Elder Jian left and had no idea where he went," the servant said.
Because A-Lan asked people to follow Elder Jian without any special instructions, no one followed Elder Jian's whereabouts.
"Okay, I understand, go and invite the housekeeper over." A Lan said.
"Yes." The servant responded and hurriedly left the small courtyard.
Soon, the butler entered the small courtyard and said, "Master, I heard from my servant that Elder Jian left the Leng family after breakfast."
"Thank you, steward." Alan said.
After the housekeeper left, Ayu asked: "Where did you say Elder Jian went?"
"I think it's either in the shop or at the shopkeeper's house. It would be a good idea to let him go to the shop and have a look. After all, he hasn't dealt with clan affairs for many years," said A-Lan.
"Can Elder Jian really investigate the affairs of the clan?" Ayu asked with some confusion.
"Elder Jian has not taken care of the clan's business for many years and does not know the elders of the clan at all. Elder Lu and Elder Qin are very problematic. I believe they must be related to the three elders. I hope Elder Jian can be thorough this time
Deal with the Leng family's affairs, otherwise, the Leng family will have endless troubles." A Lan said.
"From the way Elder Jian looked yesterday, it seemed that he didn't want you to hand over your business to Ah Feng," Ah Yu said.
"The most important thing now is that I hope all the shopkeepers will come back and open the shop soon, otherwise the shop will be completely closed in a few days. I can deal with Ah Feng's matter later," said A-Lan.
"It's okay for other shops. Uncle Ren can still take care of other shops, but it will definitely not work if the restaurant is not open. Many regular customers are used to the taste of the restaurant and now they are complaining to Uncle Ren." Ayu shook his head and said.
