Chapter 4 Begin to be the patriarch today

Village Chief Gui vomited a mouthful of blood and went there a few days later.

The Gui family sold out the land and five more people died, leaving the elderly, young, women and children, and their lives suddenly declined. The marriages that we had had before were either separated from human life and formed blood feuds or died in the "Nine Dynasties" and left the elderly, young, women and children in the family, and it was still difficult for them to take care of each other.

To the old man Gui Er's wife, the "Nine Dynasties" are simply a catastrophe of the Gui family. Losing his brother, brother, son, and nephew is naturally cursing and resenting the culprit Gui Yuan for more than ten years.

Now facing Gui Chongyang, the son of the culprit, several elders did not have a broom to chase people, and it was already generous to open their mouths and curse people.

However, Grandpa Gui Er has always thought of the incense behind his elder brother, and has the idea of ​​adopting his younger grandson to his elder brother as his grandson. It was only because Gui Yuan’s life and death were unknown, and the nominal daughter-in-law Mei, who was in the nominal family, was hesitant and unresolved.

If Gui Yuan comes back today, Grandpa Gui Er will have to kill Gui Yuan with a stick to avenge his dead brothers and nephews. But today he is Gui Chongyang, who is in his teenage years old, and his mother and father come back with his parents' tablet. The old man has a cold face, but he is also somewhat excited.

As for the suspicion of Gui Chongyang's impersonation, Grandpa Gui Er never thought about it. Gui Chongyang was wearing a cloth clothes and the luggage he carried was simple, but he was wearing a long gown and dressed as a scholar, which was different from the naughty boys in the village.

If it were someone else, such a quiet and quiet girl seemed to be quiet. Grandpa Gui Er would have to be disgusted with sissy in his heart, but there was still worry in the little kid in front of him. Such a white and clean face and delicate hands seemed to have never been sunburned under the sun and had never done rough work. But if this is really too delicate, how can the Gui family raise it?

The second aunt of Gui, Yang, was in a more complicated mood, both with Yuheng and secretly gladness. The Gui family had no five males, and the Yang family, who was the closest in-laws, had no two, and they were Yang's father and brother. Although his parents-in-law had not mentioned it explicitly, they had some ideas in the past two years. They wanted to marry Mei's niece Mei Duo and inherit the incense for the eldest family. If Mei did not remarry, they would have to support Mei's old age and see off. Yang did not hate Mei Duo, but was unwilling to give up his son. Now that Gui has returned from Chongyang, the incense for the eldest family has the incense for the eldest family, the matter of adoption will naturally be left unresolved, and everyone is happy.

Gui Chongyang was watched by everyone, and she didn't miss it. She straightened her chest and said, "My father told me to come back to let me be the patriarch!"

What the hell is the patriarch?

Before the few village households could react, the second grandma Gui, who was born in the town, was knowledgeable and immediately hung her face.

Guiyuan destroyed the Gui family by a trick, causing several families of Gui family to be destroyed. Now Gui Chongyang, a half-human tall man, always said that he wanted to be the patriarch, which was to make the rest uneasy? Although she was an old woman in the countryside, she also knew that the so-called patriarch was the leader of a clan, and was almost the same as the head of a family. She had the final say. The little boy who had not yet shed his baby teeth, what was going on?

Although there are several families in the Gui family in the village, they are also the same ancestor. However, because of more than ten years ago, "Donggui" and "Xigui" have long cut off contact. Among them, "Xigui" are several families of the village chief, and "Donggui" are other tribe members. Speaking of which, the people of "Donggui" are also ungrateful. When the village chief Gui was in the tribe hall, he took advantage of the "Xigui" many advantages. When "Xigui" was in trouble, he immediately drew a clear line and even put down a bad point, which was even more hateful than those of other people.

"What clan leader is not a clan leader? The ordinary farmer of the Gui family will not make any trouble!" Seeing that Grandpa Gui Er didn't say anything for a while, Grandpa Gui Er snorted coldly.

Gui Chongyang said seriously: "My father said he was ignorant back then and owed too much to his relatives. He asked me to come back as the patriarch and take everyone to live a good life!"

Grandma Gui sneered: "You little boy aren't afraid of having a big fan on your tongue? How do you take everyone to live a good life? You even have to rely on people to support yourself, so don't say these words to make people laugh!"

Seeing that everyone didn't believe it, Gui Chongyang untied the package, took out a purse, poured it out, and rolled it out "stop" onto the kang, and rolled out a few white and fat silver ingots, one ten tael, which was exactly fifty taels.

The white silver light attracted everyone's eyes widened.

You should know that as Yongle moved the capital, many princes and nobles followed from Nanjing were rushing to buy land near the capital. The land price in Tongzhou grew from one mu, four to five taels to one mu, seven to eight taels. Even so, the land price of these fifty taels of silver was also seven to eight a mu, and a family business could be purchased.

Grandpa Gui Er's mood became more and more complicated. Thirteen years ago, he was only 45 taels of silver, and nine people died. If Gui Yuan could turn around and even squander the big deal outside, as long as he got the forty-five taels of silver, wouldn't there be any tragedy in the future?

It's too late to say anything now.

Gui Yuan was obsessed with Mujia Village and told his son to come back before he died. It was obvious that he knew that he was wrong and did not completely destroy his conscience.

The house of Changfang was sold to the in-law Li family, but now there are only three dilapidated adobe houses left. Gui Chongyang Xiaoxiao came back alone and wanted to repair the house and buy land. In the future, she had to marry and have children. This would be less than this money.

Grandpa Gui Er coughed twice and frowned and said, "What are you doing? Put it away quickly, where can you reveal the silver at will."

Mei's aunt and nephew were embarrassed, so he hurriedly lowered his head when he heard this.

Gui Chun's personality is from the same lineage as Gui Er's grandfather, and she is pure and simple, so although she looks at the silver, she has no greed in her eyes.

Although the second grandmother Gui was reluctant to let go, she always looked away because she didn't like to take advantage of others. Yang's eyes were stuck on the money. It was not that she was greedy by nature, but that the eldest son and second son were all the same as a wife, but the family had no permanent property and several elders needed to support her. Who would agree to marry the girl?

"How do you take everyone to live a good life?" Yang took his eyes away from the silver with difficulty, looked straight at Gui Chongyang, and said with red eyes.

"Enhance revenue, reduce expenditure, purchase production, and study!" Gui Chongyang said loudly.

Just now, when everyone saw that he was a joke about being the patriarch, he was angry and dumped the money out, and he felt a little nervous. The Gui family is so poor now, fifty taels of silver are not a small amount. If a few people in front of him have bad intentions, he will definitely suffer any losses if he comes back from another place.

However, I, who has a "naive" personality, was worried about me since I was a child, so I was naturally meticulous. In addition to being angry, my actions just now also had other meanings.

The "Nine Dings Difficulties" back then was a debt owed by the "dad", and he should be paid by his son. However, it is not the same thing to be the patriarch and pay off the debt according to his will. If these relatives with the same bloodline are respectable and friendly, the patriarch is a way; if these people are worn out by poverty and are not worth getting close to, the patriarch is another way.

Building a family by one is also a challenge.
