Chapter 52: Zhao Family Clan Meeting

"Twelve Brother, let me use the radio!" Zhao Guohui said to an old man after arriving at the village committee's broadcasting room.

The Zhao family is an absolutely powerful family. Except for the women's director and the accountant, all the members of the village committee belong to the Zhao family.

The old man in the radio room is also Zhao Guohui's relative.

"Use it!" The old man nodded, and then asked curiously, "Why are you using the radio at this time? Is the chicken or the duck missing?"

In places like theirs, apart from reading out documents from above, the purpose of the radio is to find chickens and ducks, and other trivial matters.

"Nothing is lost, my grandfather, go and discuss something with the heads of each room!"

Zhao Guohui said.

"Ok?"

"Why are you calling the heads of each department together at this time?"

After hearing what Zhao Guohui said, the old man was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but ask curiously.

Summoning the heads of each branch obviously meant that there was something to be said about the entire Zhao family. However, it had been several years since such a large-scale summoning of the heads had taken place. Now that they were summoned suddenly, he couldn't help but be curious.

"You'll know when you get there."

Zhao Guohui didn't say anything, and once he did, he couldn't explain it clearly for a long time.

Isn't this a delay?

The old man nodded and turned on the radio without asking any more questions.

"Hey, hello."

Zhao Guohui tested the microphone and said after seeing that there was no problem: "Brothers and uncles of the Zhao family, I am Zhao Guohui. The old man has called the managers of each room to have a meeting at my house in half an hour. Remember to tell your family that you will not be going back tonight and will eat at my house!"

"What's going on with the Zhao family?"

"do not know!"

"The Fifth Master summoned me, so I think it's no small matter."

"Does the Zhao family want to build an ancestral hall?"

All the villagers of Zhaojiayu, whether they were at home or sitting and chatting on the street, whether their surname was Zhao or not, started talking about it.

no way.

There was not much entertainment in the mountain village, so these things were the best topics of conversation for them. Moreover, all the villagers in Zhaojiayu, even if they did not have the surname Zhao, were related to someone with the surname Zhao.

There are in-laws and relatives.
It can be said that the Zhao family’s affairs concern almost the entire village.

After hearing the broadcast, the managers of each department were confused, but no one dared to neglect the call from the Fifth Ancestor.

"Dad, this doesn't have anything to do with Xiao Shi!" Zhao's mother asked her husband in confusion after hearing the broadcast.

"No way!"

Father Zhao said with some hesitation.

Although I said that, I also had a feeling that this matter was related to my son.

He can't help but think so.

Just after his son asked for the Fifth Ancestor's phone number, the Fifth Ancestor called a meeting of the clan members. He was a little skeptical when he was told that the matter had nothing to do with his son.

I just don't know what it is.

"Wait a minute, I'll go ask around on the street!" Father Zhao said to Mother Zhao and left the ancestral hall.

Father Zhao is not qualified to hold such a family meeting. If he goes, although he will not be kicked out, he will still be disliked and can only ask around on the street.

In this small mountain village, nothing is a secret.

In less than half an hour, more than a dozen elderly people over 60 years old gathered at the house of the Fifth Ancestor.

Nowadays, young people go out to work, and these old people stay at home. It is also the slack season in the fields, so every broadcast comes.

"Uncle Wu, Master Wu"

When these people arrived at the house of the Fifth Ancestor, the Fifth Ancestor had already moved outside the house, along with his recliner.

When these people entered the yard, they saw the Fifth Ancestor and quickly greeted him.

In the village, no one is afraid of anyone else.

Even the relationship between the clan elders and them is the same.

To put it bluntly, the elders are just of high generation and old age. Maybe a few decades ago, the elders could have the final say in the clan. But now?

The world has changed, especially now that young people go out to work and are exposed to many new things. The concept of clan has long been very indifferent. Only in remote areas like theirs, clans still have cohesion. In many places, clans are just a nominal existence.

Moreover, for a family like their Zhao family, if a leading figure cannot emerge, by the time their next generation comes, the clan will become a mascot just like the outside world.

These people were also curious about why they were called together regardless of the festival.

"Master Wu, do you have anything to ask us?" At this time, a man in his fifties with thick eyebrows and big eyes asked.

When the others heard this person speak, they also listened attentively.

The person who was speaking was called 'Zhao Guohua' and he was also the village chief of Zhaojiayu. His father was the village chief of Zhaojiayu back then, and this family was very authoritative in the village.

"Guohua, sit down, and you guys sit down too!" Fifth Master nodded at Zhao Guohua and said to them.

Where is Zhao Guohui?

Bring the stool over here quickly.

After letting everyone sit down, he sat behind his grandfather.

"Guohua, Qingdong, and the managers of each family, this old guy wants to discuss something with you. Zhao Shi from the seventh family called me just now and said that he has been having nightmares recently and wants to take the ancestor's tablet back!"

After everyone sat down, Wu Ye told them the reason why he went out to look for them.

Old Seven? ?
They were stunned at first, but soon realized who this Old Seven was talking about.

"Ancestor, you didn't agree, did you?" Zhao Guohua asked quickly.

"No, you know that the ancestor's tablet was related to the Second Brother's lineage. How could I dare to agree to it casually? Didn't I come to discuss this with you?"

The Fifth Ancestor shook his head.

Zhao Guohua breathed a sigh of relief when he heard what Fifth Master said.

It’s okay if you didn’t agree.

He was really afraid that the old man would agree. It would be a dilemma for them to agree or not agree at this time.

"I don't agree with this!"

"The seventh brother and his children have not made any contribution to the family. In fact, they helped the family quite a lot in the past few years. They want the ancestral tablet now. It can't be that they have something to do outside. You know, the ancestral tablet is hundreds of years old."

At this time, an old man in his seventies spoke.

Although he spoke cryptically, everyone knew what he meant.

The one who stole the tablet was his younger brother's child.

That year, his nephew stayed in the hospital for more than two months for the sake of the tablet, and was expelled from the family tree, causing his nephew's family to have no connection with the clan at all, and even his future children could not be included in the family tree.

Now, does anyone want to leave the tablet without any evidence?
how can that be possible?
"Uncle Wu, I don't agree either!" After the old man finished speaking, another middle-aged man said.

"I don't agree! If the ancestor's tablet can be taken back at will, I would also like to take it back to worship it."

"I have no objection. The tablet has been appraised by experts and is not worth much."

Soon, everyone expressed their opinions, some agreeing and some disagreeing.

"Guohua, what about you?"

Uncle Wu looked at the village director who had been silent and asked.

"Fifth Master, logically speaking, the child is in trouble and wants to take the tablet back. We should not refuse in any way. But you also know that there are many things about this tablet. It is not convincing to let the Seventh Master and his family take it back just like that!"

"Not to mention that there is no precedent, once it is really possible, what should we do if every family wants to take back the tablet of their ancestor?"

Zhao Guohua thought for a moment and then spoke.

Zhao Guohua's meaning was very clear. It was not that you could not invite the tablet, but you had to have reasons to convince the clan members. Just having a nightmare was not enough to convince them.

Who doesn’t have a nightmare?

What should we do if each family wants to take him back? Disagree? How can Zhao Shi be taken back? Agree? There is only one tablet.
Are you making a few pieces?

Stop making trouble!

Since people want to invite it, they must invite a tablet that is hundreds of years old, so that the tablet will be effective.

The Fifth Ancestor sighed inwardly.

He knew this would be the result.
