Chapter 2499 something big happened
Returning home is like an arrow.
When I went there, I walked and stopped, and it took me seven or eight days to complete the journey. When I came back, I completed the journey in four or five days.
Yang Ruoqing and Yang Yongjin made the decision throughout the whole process, and they came down one day to have a late dinner and stay in an inn.
At other times, I bring my own dry food in the car. I no longer eat at noon at a restaurant in a nearby town as I did when I went there. I eat for an hour as soon as I eat, which always delays my journey.
Especially the Liu family, the more they eat, the more they poop. To use Tan's catchphrase, it's like, a lazy donkey will poop a lot!
It was different this time back. Fourth uncle was not here, Yang Ruoqing and Yang Yongjin ignored him, while Bao Suyun and Yang Yongxian supported their decision.
Mrs. Liu could only obey, so in the morning five days later, they went to Changping Village to reunite with the elderly and children at home.
However, within two days, Yang Huazhou suddenly rushed back alone.
The day Yang Huazhou came back happened to be the Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of May, and it was raining lightly in the morning.
Yang Ruoqing, Cao Bamei, Bao Suyun and the others made an appointment to go out to the fields to cut calamus and mugwort and then come back to insert doors and windows.
As soon as a few people walked onto the road outside the yard, they saw a man and a horse galloping towards them from the other end of the road.
Yang Ruoqing's eyes were sharp, "Oh, isn't that my fifth uncle? Why did he come back alone?"
Bao Suyun and Cao Bamei also saw it.
"It's true!" Bao Suyun said, putting down the sickle and the big bamboo basket in his hand, and hurriedly ran towards Yang Huazhou.
Yang Ruoqing and Cao Bamei also followed.
When they got closer, Yang Huazhou also saw the three of them. He quickly stopped his horse and got down.
"Lao Wu, why did you come back alone? Your hair and clothes are all wet. Come on, put on my bamboo hat!"
Bao Suyun took off the bamboo hat on her head and handed it to Yang Huazhou, but Yang Huazhou pushed it away.
"It's already soaked anyway. It doesn't matter if you don't wear it," he said.
His eyes fell directly on Yang Ruoqing, and he said anxiously: "Qing'er, something happened, something big happened!"
"What's the big deal?" Yang Ruoqing asked.
Yang Huazhou said: "The Yang family in Yuncheng wants to seize the property of our Yang family in Changping Village!"
"What?"
Yang Ruoqing's eyes widened a bit, and a look of astonishment flashed across her face.
There is no such thing as a free lunch. Are there really these greedy purposes hidden behind this massive recognition of relatives and the return of ancestors?
Looking at Yang Huazhou's clothes and hair that could wrung out water, Yang Ruoqing took a deep breath and said: "Even if the sky falls, there will be a big man holding it up. Fifth uncle, please go back and take a hot bath first and change into clean clothes."
"
"Eight sisters, hurry up and call my eldest and second brothers to my house. Wait until the fifth uncle has changed his clothes and we will discuss it together."
Several people acted separately.
After a pack of cigarettes, in the main room of Yang Huazhong's house.
Yang Huazhou, Yang Yongxian, Yang Yongjin, Yang Yongzhi, Da'an, Yang Ruoqing, and the Sun family members all came over.
Mrs. Liu didn't call her over, because in the eyes of everyone, Mrs. Liu was a big talker and couldn't help at all with serious matters.
"Fifth Uncle, everyone who is supposed to be here is here. Don't panic. Tell us the whole story in detail." Yang Ruoqing said to Yang Huazhou.
Yang Huazhou nodded, looked around everyone, and said angrily: "Brother Wenxuan came over after you left Yuncheng first that day."
"The old man and several clan elders are waiting for us at the ancestral hall. Let us go over and hold a family meeting together."
"Master Qing'er is very happy. My third and fourth brothers and I are also very happy. Because we were invited, we feel that the Yang family really cares about our lineage."
"However, when we got there, we discovered that things were not what we imagined at all. It was just a Hongmen Banquet!" he said.
Recalling the scene at that time, Yang Huazhou gritted his teeth, with anger that could not be wiped off his face.
"When we arrived at the ancestral hall, they took out a family genealogy and ancestral teachings,"
"Then tell us that according to the rules of the Yang family, the property of every branch and house must be registered in order to facilitate unified management."
"It is said that our lineage in Changping Village is a branch of the common people. According to the rules, it will be confiscated."
"Confiscated?" Yang Yongjin and the others cried out in surprise.
"What kind of bullshit rule is this? Is the government raiding your home?" he asked.
Yang Yongxian and the others also frowned, while Sun, Bao Suyun and Cao Bamei were all panicked.
Everyone turned their attention to Yang Ruoqing, and Sun asked: "Qing'er, please tell me, what should we do about this matter?"
Yang Ruoqing curled her lips and said with a bit of disdain: "Now, let's get married, and we'll have our family background included."
"Uncle Wu, go on, what's next? Why did they ask for it?"
"There's no way he's attracted to the two old hens I raised? There must be something else! Just say it!" she said.
Yang Huazhou nodded and continued: "At that time, Mr. Qing'er was a little surprised. He said that our Yang family in Changping Village did not have much wealth. In addition to the fields and gardens, the five-bedroom house only has some chickens and ducks in the backyard."
"In the past few years, everyone has been working under Qing'er, and the fields have been leased out. We rely on collecting some rent every year."
"It's okay to register this property, but it would be ridiculous to hand it over."
"Then, that idiot Yang Wenxuan said that land leasing and other matters are only for small amounts and do not need to be confiscated."
"But Fourth Brother, I, and the 40% of the commission that Jin kid took in the restaurant must all be handed over to the Yang family." Yang Huazhou said.
"What if we don't hand it over?" Yang Yongjin asked through gritted teeth.
"Can you still come to our place and rob someone?" he asked again.
Yang Huazhou said: "They said that this is a clan rule, a rule unanimously set by the elders of the clan. As long as it is entered into the family tree, all the descendants of the clan must obey it."
"If you don't obey, you can enforce it through the government," he said.
"Damn it, are these still relatives of my family? They are robbers and bandits!" Yang Yongjin got up and slapped the case, so angry that his hair was on fire.
When other people in the hall heard this, they all looked panicked.
Mrs. Sun subconsciously held on to the stool she was sitting on, as if the stool was about to be confiscated.
Bao Suyun and Cao Bamei were so anxious that they almost shed tears.
Here, Yang Ruoqing came to Sun and Bao Suyun and stretched out her hands to hold their shoulders.
"Mom, fifth aunt, don't be impatient, wait for fifth uncle to finish speaking," she said.
Then he raised his head and looked at Yang Huazhou: "The Yang family made such a request, what did my father say?"
Yang Huazhou said: "Your father is also very surprised. He said that this restaurant is not the Yang family's property, but Qing'er's."
