Chapter 251 Asking the Clan to Come Forward
But then again, this is a really difficult thing to do.
It's not good to make a fuss or not.
If there is a commotion, not only the reputation of the He family will be affected, but even the entire clan will be affected.
If I don't make a fuss, He An and Su Yan will definitely not be able to get through.
Besides, Uncle He saw how furious Grandmother He was and knew that she would not easily get over it.
after all...
He An is now He Yi's adopted son.
Sure enough, Grandmother He said, "I will ask the clan to intervene in this matter. This kind of trend of competing with one's own clan members must not be encouraged."
Thanks to He An being adopted and the He family splitting up, Uncle He San and He An could only be considered uncle and nephew at this time.
This kind of kinship relationship is much easier to handle than the father-son relationship.
If He An was still nominally Uncle He's son at this time, then this matter would be difficult to handle.
If they are a family, even if the parents oppress and bully their children, outsiders will not say anything too much.
Also, if Uncle He is thick-skinned, he will insist on it.
The He family really couldn't do anything to him.
But if they are just relatives, the clan will not sit idly by and watch such blatant competition with their own relatives and family members.
Uncle He looked at He An, who was sitting below without saying a word, and pursed his lips.
"But... there is a limit to what the clan can do, right?"
As long as the third brother is thick-skinned enough, he will just be scolded at most.
Grandmother He: "I know that our clan can't do much, I just want to let that rebellious son know that he wants to use the He family's reputation to threaten us to cover up his shame, but it's impossible!"
Uncle He couldn't help but look at Grandfather He, "Dad, please say something!"
Grandfather He spoke, but his idea was very different from Uncle He's.
"Listen to your mother!"
"father!"
"If he can use his reputation to threaten you once, he can do it a second time. Can you guarantee that he won't do it to you one day?"
Uncle He was speechless.
Grandmother He believed it and said, "That's right. If we endure it this time, we may have endless troubles in the future."
Grandfather He nodded. "Yes, we might as well make our attitude clear right from the start and teach him a lesson! He is too arrogant. Does he really think there is nothing we can do to him?"
"So you do whatever you want."
After Grandfather He finished speaking, he took Uncle He An to the clan leader’s house.
Others are waiting for news at home.
Along the way, Uncle He followed Grandfather He closely, always wondering what Grandfather and Grandma He's intentions were.
As parents, you can just teach others a lesson yourself.
why
Why must the clan intervene?
This would also damage the family's reputation, and he didn't believe that his father hadn't thought of this.
But after thinking about it, I still decided to do it, as if I had made up my mind.
Uncle He was startled, knowing that Uncle He had really pissed off Grandpa and Grandma He this time.
The two of them probably decided to draw a line between themselves and their family, although they did not sever ties in name.
But in the eyes of the clan members, Grandfather He's quarrel was almost the same as severing ties.
For He An, why did you do this?
Grandfather He led people to the clan leader's house and was led into the clan leader's study.
The chief saw them coming and asked them to sit down, then asked, "Why are you here?"
Grandfather He: "It is unfortunate for our family to have such a rebellious son. He steals the business of his own people. Doesn't this destroy the unity of the clan?"
"If I let him go this time, and everyone in the clan follows suit, I'll be guilty of a great sin."
The clan leader seemed a little surprised by Grandfather He's words. After thinking for a while, he said hesitantly, "Then what do you want to do?"
Grandfather He: "Whatever you have to do, I will never cover up for you."
Chief: "...Okay, I understand what you mean. Although doing business is one's own business, we must not allow such a thing as competing with our own people in our tribe."
"An is wronged this time. Boy An, you are the victim. What do you want to do? Let me hear your thoughts first."
He An lowered his head and said modestly, "I was young and ignorant, so I listened to the clan leader, grandfather and grandfather."
Patriarch: ...
It's so slippery that you can't hold back.
Looking at Grandfather He who was sitting quietly beside him, the clan leader didn't say anything.
He just said, “Since you are here and have decided to teach the clan about this, I will follow the clan’s rules.”
Grandfather He: “That’s right.”
The chieftain called his servants and said, "Go and ask the elders to come over."
The servant nodded his head and ran out.
The clan leader continued to explain to Grandfather He, "This kind of thing has happened in the clan before, but because people at that time corrected their mistakes and responded promptly, the clan let it go and did not punish them."
"There is no precedent for punishment, so we can't arbitrarily decide on punishment measures this time, so..."
Grandfather He: "I understand. Even if we can't impose any severe punishment on the rebellious son, at least we have to let him know that no one will cover up for his shameful behavior."
The patriarch gave him a serious look to make sure he was serious.
He looked at He An calmly again. He still kept his head down and said nothing.
Uncle He's face looked more normal, but his brows were furrowed and he looked very conflicted.
The clan leader said nothing more now. He drank tea with them and waited for the arrival of the clan elders.
When the elders arrived at the scene, he told them what had happened.
An outspoken elder spoke up immediately, "Why mobilize so many troops? You are his father, you can punish him at home."
"If this gets out to the clan, the third brother's reputation will be ruined, and it will also affect your family's reputation."
The clan leader nodded secretly, agreeing very much, and followed them to see Grandfather He.
Grandfather He did not waver. He calmly drank the tea in the cup and said.
"If it was just a matter between our family, it would be fine, but now he is bullying his savior and the adopted son of his biological brother."
"If I don't show some attitude, won't he be even more rampant after I'm gone for a hundred years?"
The elder said, "You can punish him at home! You are his father, I don't believe he will disobey you."
Grandfather He, "I can punish him, but I'm afraid that after the punishment, he won't be convinced and will just continue to do the same thing."
"I can't kill him, can I?"
Elder: "...This...This is definitely not possible."
What if someone dies?
Grandfather He spread his hands and said, "So, it's better for the clan to step in. He will remember the lesson, and I won't have to worry about him every day."
Elder: "...Family disgrace should not be made public, Third Brother."
Grandfather He didn't listen to his emotional appeal. If the third brother had really listened to him, nothing would have happened today.
If the third brother didn't listen to him, he couldn't sue him in the government, nor could he beat him up once or twice.
You can't just sever ties with the other party.
There is too little he can do, and to the third brother, his methods may not be very intimidating.
Didn’t the third brother also feel that as a father, he couldn’t do anything to him?
Is that why you are so unscrupulous?
