Chapter 155 The Fifth Ancestor's Thoughts
"Okay, I believe you!" Uncle Feng said and left.

Looking at Uncle Feng's back, Zhao Shi sighed lightly.

Feng family.

After Feng Wenshan came back, Shu Ting asked in a low voice: "Did you say it?"

"I said, he agreed."

Feng Wenshan nodded.

"Oh, that's good! But I feel so upset when I think about my daughter going to live with someone else in the future!" Shu Ting sighed, feeling very uncomfortable.

Especially today, the two children have confirmed their relationship, which makes her feel even more uncomfortable.

"Hey!"

Feng Wenshan also sighed, feeling an inexplicable sadness in his heart.

When Zhao Shi returned to his home, his parents were still cleaning up in the yard.

"Son, the bed is made for you. You can live at home. Your father and I will live in the ancestral hall!" Seeing her son, Zhao's mother immediately showed a happy smile on her face and said.

The first half of my son's life could be considered full of misfortunes, but now he has finally reaped the rewards of his hard work. Not only has he recovered from his illness, he has also mastered kung fu and the ability to survive. Most importantly, he is finally getting married.
They would not be able to close their eyes even if they died without seeing their son get married and start a family.

Everything was moving in a good direction, which made them feel relieved.

"Mom, stop busying yourself. I'm going to live in the ancestral hall!" Zhao Shi said.

"No need, I'll just go with your mother!"

Father Zhao took over the conversation.

The environment of the ancestral hall is too bad. How could they bear to let their son live there?

"Dad, there's really no need. I can sleep well with our ancestors watching over me. Otherwise, I would have slept in the car!" Zhao Shi quickly refused.

"That"

"Okay, remember to lock the door!"

Father Zhao hesitated for a moment and then nodded in agreement.

He was also a little worried that his son would have a nightmare, after all, he didn't bring back the ancestor's tablet.

If you want to go, then go!
Zhao's mother also thought of this and could only agree to let her son go to the ancestral hall.

Zhao family ancestral hall.

The main house consists of three large tiled rooms, and there are two side rooms on the east and west sides for storing miscellaneous items. However, the west side room is connected to a back room, which was originally the residence of the old man who guarded the ancestral hall. After it was vacant, no one else has lived there except Zhao's father and mother.

After Zhao Shi entered the ancestral hall, he found that the lights in the main room were on, and he walked over in confusion.

I saw the Fifth Ancestor sitting on the armchair in the ancestral hall.

"Boy, now you're here. I thought it was because you live here! Good, you know how to respect the elderly, which proves that you are a good person!" Seeing Zhao Shi enter the house, the Fifth Ancestor nodded with a smile on his face.

At this time, how could Zhao Shi not know that the Fifth Ancestor was waiting for him.

"Fifth Ancestor, do you have something to ask me?"

Zhao Shi asked curiously.

Although the Fifth Ancestor was the elder of the clan, Zhao Shi did not have much interaction with him. The only time they had interacted was when they bought the house and the tablet. He didn't know why the Fifth Ancestor was still waiting for him so late.

"Boy, can you tell me where you learned this shooting skill?"

The Fifth Ancestor asked.

He was very curious.

During the warlords' infighting, an ancestor who knew how to use a gun was taken away by the conscripts, along with the secret manual passed down in the family. However, that ancestor never returned.

The art of shooting was also lost.

"It's not inconvenient. The secret book was at a stall in the antique city. I received it when I bought a used book. Unfortunately, the book was too torn. I only got the gun skills out. The secret book was torn into pieces page by page. I couldn't save it!"

Zhao Shidao.

Zhao Shi could only make up a lie about the origin of his spear skills. He couldn't say that it was passed down to him by the spirit of his ancestor!
"That secret book should be the one that was taken away with our ancestors! But we don't know what happened to that elder, and whether there are any descendants left!"

After hearing what Zhao Shi said, the Fifth Ancestor sighed and said, "After the Fifth Ancestor's introduction, Zhao Shi also knew the origin of his own spearmanship and how it was lost."

"However, this shooting skill has finally returned to our Zhao family!"

"Boy, the old clan leader left a message that whoever can find the spearmanship inheritance will be the next clan leader. We just held a meeting and decided to let you become the 28th clan leader of my Zhao family!"

The Fifth Ancestor looked at Zhao Shi and said.

Ok?
Zhao Shi was stunned when he heard what the Fifth Ancestor said.

He didn't expect that the Fifth Ancestor came to him for this matter.

Is it a good thing to be a patriarch?
Some people think so, but Zhao Shi thinks not.

The clan leader is a typical example of a thankless job, especially Zhao Jiayu. As long as he serves as a team leader, he needs to shoulder the responsibilities of the clan leader.

Ensure the continuation of the family and lead the family to glory.

This is not something that ordinary people can do.

"Fifth Ancestor, I really can't be the clan leader. It's better to let Uncle Guohua do it. He has always been the village chief and has a high prestige. He is very good at handling family affairs!"

"Besides, I can't stay in the family for a long time. I will be back to the Magic City in two days. I also have a lot of things to deal with. I can't spare any energy for the family!"

Zhao Shi refused directly.

burden!

No matter how you look at it, the Zhao family is now a huge burden.

Once you become the clan leader, you have to shoulder the responsibility of leading the clan members to make money.

Now it's all about money.

If you can’t lead your people to make money, who will obey you?
"Guohua is not good enough. If he could become the clan leader, the family wouldn't have been without a clan leader for hundreds of years."

"Now that the family is in decline, there must be a strong person to lead the family out of the predicament, so that the family's cohesion can be restored!"

The Fifth Ancestor shook his head and rejected Zhao Shi’s proposal.

no way.

The Zhao family hasn't had a powerful figure for hundreds of years. If one doesn't appear again, once he dies, the Zhao family will become a mere shell.

Zhao Guohua?
In fact, it is possible to be a conservative patriarch in peacetime.

However, what the Zhao family needs now is not such a conservative patriarch, but a patriarch with a pioneering spirit, who can lead the family to expand territory and restore its glory.

As for Zhao Shi’s refusal, it was within his expectations.

After all, Zhao Shi now has money and a house, and he lives a very comfortable life. If he were to take on the livelihoods of hundreds of people, it would have a huge impact on him.

But there is no other good candidate except Zhao Shi. In the past hundred years, Zhao Shi is the only one in the Zhao family who can be considered promising.

Zhao Shi brought back the family's inherited spear skills.

Therefore, there is no more suitable candidate than Zhao Shi.

"You should think about it carefully!" said the Fifth Ancestor, and slowly left the ancestral hall.

After the Fifth Ancestor left, Zhao Shi sat on the armchair in the ancestral hall and thought quietly.

However, no matter how he thought about it, he felt that being a patriarch was a huge hassle. In ancient times, it was not so bad. As long as he ensured that the tribe members did not starve to death, or starved to death less, he could be a good patriarch.

But today is different from the past. In peacetime, we can’t take hundreds of people to steal water or go hunting!
Now it’s about making money!

Only make money!

If he cannot lead his people to make money, this clan leader will ultimately be just a title and end up with nothing.

With the existence of the other world, Zhao Shi is still very confident that he can make money. No, he should be said to be extremely confident. With the existence of the other world, there is no possibility that he cannot make money.

But let him lead his people to make money.

He really can't do it.

After all, Zhao Shi is now just an ordinary person who has just recovered from an illness and is seriously out of touch with society.
