The fourth and fifth rooms looked at each other and shook their heads.
There was silence now, as if you could hear a pin drop.
Patriarch Su Buqi coughed: "Since each room has no objection, let's rebuild it again."
In order to keep his son's position as the transport envoy, he did not hesitate to sell the land that the Su family finally relied on.
The fourth and fifth bedrooms looked shocked and hurriedly looked towards the second and third bedrooms.
The second brother is the deputy clan leader and has always been against the clan leader. Why doesn't he say anything?
This matter was done by Sanfang. Could it be that Sanfang slapped himself in the face?
The second bedroom looked at the third bedroom. This is something caused by the third bedroom, and it should be solved by the third bedroom.
Sanfang himself suddenly became the target of public criticism, and suddenly changed from a great contributor to a great liability.
He felt it was wrong to speak, and it felt wrong not to speak.
To speak is to defend one's behavior, and to not speak is to admit one's mistakes.
What should I do? I originally did something beautiful and glorious for my family, and it was approved by the clan meeting.
Unexpectedly, after the official struggle, good things turned into bad things, and good things turned into pain.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look towards the second room, wanting to see what the second room had to say?
When the second roommate saw the third roommate looking at him, he couldn't help but frowned. Could it be that you, the third roommate, don't even need your own merits?
If this is the case, it seems that the third-bedroom apartment does not have the strength to compete with the larger second-bedroom apartment.
"The second brother hasn't expressed his opinion yet, how can the clan leader draw such a conclusion." The second brother thought for a while and finally said unwillingly.
Although the others did not speak, he was a deputy patriarch after all, and his weight was still very important.
Su Buqi couldn't help being furious, but he was well-educated and tried his best to use a gentle voice and said: "The two elders of the Su family cannot fight with the two husbands of the court. It is totally not worth it. The two husbands have the righteousness of the court, how can ants do it?" Shake the tree?"
"The camp is made of iron and the soldiers are flowing. The same is true for the barracks and the same is true for the court. How can the two husbands stay in the court for a lifetime?" Su Buqing, the second roommate, was not to be outdone and immediately retorted with examples.
After hearing what the second room said, the other rooms looked at each other and nodded.
Seeing the second room stirring up the emotions of each room, Su Buqi secretly screamed that it was bad.
But he is the patriarch, so he naturally has the authority of the patriarch.
He looked at him coldly and said in a sarcastic tone: "Of course the court is not under the control of the two husbands, but it is not under the control of the two husbands. Can the Su family avoid it?"
"Of course the Su family can't escape, but the Su family built Chidaozhanli. How can we say that it will be rebuilt if it is rebuilt? Does the patriarch have to sell the entire family land to please the two husbands?" The second house was forced by the eldest house. In the corner, I couldn't help but say heart-wrenching words.
Sure enough, after hearing this, the expressions of the four and five families changed, and they looked at the clan leader: "Clan Leader, this matter is related to the fate of the entire family, so you must think twice before taking action."
"I beg the clan leader to think twice before taking action?" Second Fang took the opportunity to say when he saw Fourth Fang and Fifth Fang express their opinions.
At this time, he couldn't help but look at the third room. This was originally the third room's business. Why didn't the third room say anything?
Even the fourth and fifth bedrooms find it strange. The third bedroom wants to slap him in the face today?
Sanfang saw the three people's eyes and knew that he had to speak.
He coughed, glanced at everyone present, and said calmly: "I believe that the Su family has three options for the intimidation of the two husbands."
After hearing that there were three options, the noisy voices at the scene suddenly became quiet, and their eyes focused on Sanfang to see what he could do.
"It doesn't matter if you have three bedrooms." Even the patriarch, Su Buqi, didn't expect that the Su family had three options. After saying that, he put down his tea cup and stared at him.
Su Bude, the third roommate, drank tea to moisten his throat, and then spoke slowly.
"First, the Su family sells all the land and renovates Chidao."
After he finished speaking, he looked at everyone. Except for the people in the big room who were a little happy, the rest of the people were very angry.
"Obviously, this way won't work. If we sell the land, how can we learn to beg? Obviously this way won't work." At this point, he put forward his own idea.
It turned out that he said this to stop the big house's mouth. Everyone looked at each other and understood what he meant.
Everyone in the first house was furious. They just wanted to use the power of the patriarch to kidnap the other houses. Unexpectedly, they were directly denied by the third house.
When they were angry, someone wanted to speak, but someone else immediately stopped them and pointed at the third room. This impulsive person is Su Hanqing's son Su Xiaoyi. He hopes that his father can stay in that position.
Thinking that Sanfang had other suggestions, he had no choice but to nod. On the surface, he was drinking tea with all his heart, but in fact, he was listening to Sanfang's ideas wholeheartedly.
Su Bude, from the third room, had already expected it when he saw someone moving in the big room.
He nodded and continued to say calmly: "Secondly, the Su family has been halfway built and can continue to be built in the current way."
Having said this, he looked at everyone, and saw that everyone in the first room had anger in their eyes, but everyone in the third room was happy, with smiles on their faces.
After all, the third room is still the third room, and it helps the people in the third room to speak.
"But this also has risks, involving the Su family in the fight between the two husbands and Zhao Ping. Please think about the gains and losses." He looked at the people in the third room, and saw that the expressions of the people in the third room changed greatly, and the other people The person in the room fell into thinking, constantly weighing the gains and losses of this move.
The fourth and fifth rooms looked at each other and nodded, feeling that the third room’s words were fair.
The first bedroom and the second bedroom looked at each other, and both sides showed wary eyes. What is the third bedroom? Does it want to use Zhao Ping as its backing to compete with them for the position of clan leader?
Seeing the unfriendly faces of the first and second rooms, the third room took a sip of tea and looked very graceful.
He glanced at everyone and coughed: "I have a third point. What is the third point? The Su family can agree to rebuild, but requires the government to compensate. The reason for the compensation is very simple. The government did not say at the time that the road should be built according to that kind of plan. . Now that half of it has been built, it is required to be rebuilt. Of course, the government must compensate."
When Su Bude said this, he suddenly stopped.
He has already proposed a method, let’s see how everyone on the scene discusses it.
"The third family is right. Since the government requires the Su family to rebuild, they must compensate accordingly." The fourth and fifth families immediately expressed their opinions, feeling that this did not violate the wishes of the two husbands, and would not cause harm to the Su family.
Su Buqing, the second roommate, was deep in thought while drinking tea.
He took a sip of tea and also expressed his position: "The third room is right. The government requires the Su family to renovate and must compensate."
Patriarch Su Buqi's expression changed drastically. Four of the five families supported this method. Could he overturn it?
This is a vital matter related to the survival of the entire Su family. No one is willing to sell the land that protects their lives.
"If the government requires reconstruction, then the government must compensate." In full view of the public, Su Buqi, the clan leader, was forced to express his stance and finally made the final decision.
There were dozens of people now. Except for the person in the big room who was a little unhappy, the rest of them breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, only half of the Chidaoxian cement project was built. If it was renovated, only half of it would be renovated. Not all the land was sold, only half of the land needed to be sold.
However, from the perspective of a farming and studying family, land is vital to their survival, and no one is willing to sell the land that protects their lives.
Now that Sanfang has put forward this suggestion, it will indeed ensure that the Su family's land can meet the government's requirements.
Chen family meeting hall.
Chen Facai cried bitterly in front of Chen Qin: "Master, the government wants to rebuild it, but the villain can't afford it even if he sells iron."
The Chen family undertook the construction of no more and no less than the five-mile road, and now almost half of it has been built.
In order to ensure that there would be no problems with Chidao, he specially invited Lu Ban's descendants to build it. It can be said that he has tried his best.
He originally wanted to give the family a chance to revitalize, but he never expected that the government would change its mind.
What they built this time was indeed a road to accumulate good deeds, and all the stones they used were the best.
These stones are not available near Chidao. They also hire people to quarry the stones from the mountain. After mining, they have to hire people to pull the stones from the mountain to the construction site on flatbed trucks.
It can be said that instead of making money, Chen Qin may actually lose money.
However, the family knows that this is a matter of good deeds and an opportunity for the family to become famous, so the family contributes its efforts and money.
Unexpectedly, the government suddenly requested that it be renovated according to Qin Shihuang's Chidao.
When Chen Qin heard that the government suddenly asked to build it according to Qin Shihuang's Chidao, he felt suicidal.
"Zifu (Chen Facai), you don't have to lose money by smashing pots and selling iron. This loss will be borne by me. I have damaged the whole family, and I don't want to live." As Chen Qin said this, he hit his head against the pillar in the house. go.
Hearing that Chen Qin was about to commit suicide, Chen Facai hurriedly hugged him.
Chen Qin struggled desperately, but Chen Facai held him tightly with both hands and did not dare to let go.
"That's enough! Things haven't gotten that bad yet." At this time, the patriarch Chen Xing came out of his house with a cane.
Chen Xing is already in his sixties, with many wrinkles on his face and most of his forehead is covered with white hair.
His legs and feet are not very convenient, but he is in good spirits.
With the support of a servant, he sat on the patriarch's chair.
There are also more than 200 people in the Chen family, and there are more than ten people in the meeting hall. They participate in the discussion on behalf of the Chen family.
Hearing what the clan leader said, Chen Qin stopped struggling.
Chen Facai also breathed a sigh of relief and sat in his seat with Chen Qin, looking at the clan leader.
Chen Xing glanced at the people present and saw everyone looking at him, their eyes full of doubts.
He knew he had to make it clear to the people present, so he coughed twice and said, "What are you afraid of? Even if the sky falls, there will still be tall people to hold it up."
"Patriarch, please don't comfort me. I've dragged down the entire clan and become a sinner of the clan. I have no choice but to die." After hearing what the clan leader said, there was no good way out. Frustrated, he thought of committing suicide again. .
The patriarch glared at him, and the crutch in his hand paused heavily, making a thumping sound.
Chen Qin was shocked, temporarily gave up the idea of committing suicide, and looked at the clan leader.
Chen Xing glanced at him and said slowly: "Isn't the Su family just tall? They built it for twenty miles. If they renovate it, the losses will definitely be worse than that of the Chen family."
"Patriarch, the Su family has a great business and is a noble family. How can it be compared to our small family? Patriarch, I am the sinner of the family." After saying this, Chen Qin kept beating his chest, sobbing and crying.
He cried uncontrollably, making the others feel uncomfortable and dejected.
Chen Xing shook his head and his voice suddenly became much louder: "The Su family has a great business, but they have donated thousands of yuan and moved back from Neijiang. How much property does they still have? He wants to renovate it unless he sells the farmland."
After saying that, he tapped his crutch twice more, making a heavy thumping sound.
Hearing the people present talking about it, he simply used the sound of his cane to stop it.
"Patriarch, what you said is reasonable, but what if the Su family wants to resist?" Although Chen Qin had a glimmer of hope in his heart, he couldn't believe that this was the truth.
When the people present heard the exchange between the two, they felt like a roller coaster in their hearts, sometimes happy and sometimes painful.
They hope so, but what if their hopes turn into disappointment?
At this time, a young man in his twenties came in from outside, holding a riding crop in his hand and walking in a hurry.
Chen Qin recognized that this person was Chen Xing's eldest grandson Chen Tan, but he didn't know why he broke in.
You know, this is a clan meeting, and he is not qualified to enter.
When Chen Xing saw his grandson coming in, his expression tightened.
However, he didn't know what the situation was outside, so he could only ask in a deep voice: "Little detective, have you found out the news?"
What news did Detective Chen have that was worth reporting to the clan leader? Everyone present looked at each other, and everyone looked at each other in confusion.
They didn't know what news Xiaotan was asking for, so they shook their heads to express they didn't know.
"Tell me, ancestor, the information has been found out." Chen Tan knelt down on one leg and respectfully clasped his fists in reply.
Chen Xing nodded, his face a little unnatural, and Chen Qin felt that the patriarch's voice was trembling.
Although Chen Xing is old, his eyes are still clear and he looks at Chen Tan with piercing eyes: "What's the news?"
"Report to our ancestors that the Su family agrees to rebuild Chidao, but requires compensation from the government." Chen Tan bowed his hands and answered excitedly.
Chen Xing's expression finally relaxed, a smile appeared on his face unconsciously and he continued to ask: "What's the reason?"
"The government didn't have unified standards at first. The Su family built half of the house before they asked for reconstruction. The cost of reconstruction will of course be compensated by the government." Chen Tan was so happy that his voice became louder unknowingly.
Chen Xing breathed a sigh of relief. He just speculated but had no evidence to confirm.
Now the grandson was riding on horseback to inquire about the news, and his suspicion was finally confirmed, and he couldn't help but feel overjoyed.
The expressions on the faces of the Chen clan also relaxed, and they were all smiling.
The clan leader was indeed right. If the sky falls, there will be tall people holding it up.
Chen Facai was even more delighted and congratulated Chen Qin: "Congratulations on passing the test."
"It can only be said that it is getting better temporarily, but it is still far from passing. The officialdom is too deep." Chen Qin shook his head and sighed: "The Su family leaves the trouble to the government, and we will see how the government handles it."
When Chen Facai heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
He didn't expect that the Su family, as a family, couldn't deal with the government?
Could it be that things are so complicated, more complicated than I think?
