Chapter 183 Clan Chiefs Sun and Xu are very capable
He still vividly remembers his father's ambitious words when he first became the clan chief, but what about now?
Why did she turn out like this? Looking at Granny Gu again, compared to her father, they really do look alike.
Thinking of my uncle's family, my aunt, and then his sister, haha...
Lin Lizheng also looked at Gu Yongliang. This man's face was covered in wrinkles; it hadn't been long since he'd seen him, and he had not only lost a lot of weight, but…
And you know what? He really does have a sharp and mean look on his face, especially the greed in his eyes, which he doesn't try to hide.
One thousand taels?
How could he dare to even think about it? How could he dare to ask for it?
Clan Chief Sun looked at Gu Yongliang with disdain, then glanced at the people behind him, all of whom were from the Gu family.
There were some members of the Sun family nearby. He had originally wanted to say a few sarcastic remarks to Gu Yongliang, but now he didn't want to say anything. This man was not someone he could associate with.
He stepped forward and shouted at the crowd: "Listen up, you members of the Sun family!"
Were you involved? If so, come out and apologize immediately.
Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite; the Sun family will be barred from all business dealings next year.
As soon as he finished speaking, a lazy man from the Sun family stepped forward and said, "Uncle, you said you're willing to help us?"
Chief Sun looked at Sun Ping, the laziest man in their clan, but it was all because of poverty.
"When did I say I wouldn't help you? This is our first time doing this kind of business, and we haven't even figured out how deep or shallow the water is yet. How dare we take all our people into this water?"
Now that this business has just established a stable sales channel, I originally planned to discuss this matter at the end of the year when I pay respects to my ancestors, but I didn't expect you all to be so impatient.
As long as the members of the Sun clan unite as one from now on, I will not abandon any member of the clan.
No matter how lazy you are, I will make you work hard. As long as you work, you will get paid.
If anyone is struggling to climb outside, sorry, you can go cool off somewhere else.
My Sun family doesn't tolerate idlers, much less this rotten apple. If you anger me too much, I can expel your entire family from the clan!
As soon as he finished speaking, another woman came over, pulling her child along.
He pressed down on his own child and knelt down with a thud: "Clan leader, my son is still young and doesn't know any better. He won't do it again, really. Gouzi, quickly kowtow to your great-grandfather and admit your mistake."
Chief Sun looked at the mother and son and nodded in satisfaction. Then he looked at the little dog and said seriously, "Go and apologize to Little Stone. The Sun clan does not do such ungrateful things."
A true man should not bully the weak or the strong.
The dog kowtowed to Chief Sun and said, "I'll remember this."
After saying that, he stood up and walked to the opposite side of Gu Jingye. Just as he was about to kneel down, Gu Jingye stepped forward and helped him up: "There's no need for that. You weren't born a bad person; it's just that you've associated with the wrong people."
As the saying goes, "One who stays near vermilion gets stained red, and one who stays near ink gets stained black." From now on, you should spend more time with Brother Xiaozhuang.
Dongfang Jin...
That little brat!
Upon hearing these words, the dog's gaze towards Gu Jingye changed.
He is nine years old this year. Although he doesn't know the meaning of "one is influenced by one's company," he seems to understand something.
Turning to look at Sun Qingzhuang beside him, he realized that the person who used to be so annoying had changed.
At that moment, his eyes lit up, the mist in his eyes dissipated, and taking advantage of Gu Jingye's inattention, he knelt down and kowtowed to him.
He stood up and said, "Thank you, Gu Jingye. I, Sun Xiaopeng, will never bully anyone again. I will definitely follow Sun Qingzhuang and learn from him."
His impassioned words shocked many people present.
Because of today's actions, Sun Xiaopeng later became Sun Qingzhuang's right-hand man.
He also became a core figure in the Sun family.
When the Sun family saw the change in the little dog, two more parents dragged their children out to apologize to Gu Jingye.
Their attitudes were all very good, including the parents, who all apologized to Dongfang Jin.
They said they would discipline their child and would never bully anyone again.
When Gu Yongliang saw this scene, he was so angry that he pointed at them, his whole body trembling as if he had been electrocuted.
Even though Gu Chenglin's son has never attended a private school, he can still utter such words.
His grandson started learning at the age of three and went to a private school at the age of eight. Even after attending the private school for two years, he still couldn't say such things.
Why should he?
The more he thought about it, the more twisted his mind became, and the more obvious the meanness on his face became.
Before he could speak, the Xu clan chief looked at the Xu clan members present and said the same thing as the Sun clan chief.
Dongfang Jin...
The two clan leaders did a great job; that was a good stab!
However, only one couple from the Xu family came out with their child.
This child is the youngest in the family, and he was born after having three daughters, so he was inevitably spoiled a bit.
The couple pulled their son aside to apologize to Gu Jingye. The boy, named Xu Cong, was eight years old and usually liked to go against Sun Qingzhuang.
It was the first time he had ever seen his parents so scared and angry, and he felt scared too.
Seeing his parents apologize, he also apologized.
Chief Xu was very satisfied when he saw this. He knew the family's situation. The child was not bad at heart; he was just spoiled by his family.
So it's understandable. Things will be better next year when things get busy. He, Chief Sun, and Chief Lin have already discussed it.
The three families chipped in to hire a tutor, someone with a degree in the imperial examinations, just to provide basic education for the children in the clan; that would be enough.
In this way, even if the children go to the private school in the county, they will no longer be timid.
When the clan's business grows bigger, we'll hire a good tutor.
As soon as Chief Xu finished speaking, everyone looked at Village Chief Lin, waiting for him to speak.
Because the Lin family members present were the fewest, but mostly children.
Lin Li was feeling rather embarrassed by the stares; he had never been treated like this in front of the entire village before.
Before he could speak, his grandson Lin Ziyao came out; he couldn't let his grandfather show up.
He was present throughout the entire incident, so it's better for him to step in.
He walked up to Gu Jingye with his small body, cupped his hands in a respectful bow, and his attitude was very proper.
"Although our Lin family did not participate, we stood by and did nothing."
I apologize on their behalf. I'm sorry.
Yes, I'm sorry, he didn't see the situation clearly and overlooked Gu Ping'an's past behavior.
He was a bit too competitive; if it weren't for him forcing Sun Qingzhuang to teach him those new things...
Gu Jingye wouldn't have been stopped by Sun Qingzhuang, and this situation wouldn't have occurred.
Thinking about how Shen Qihui was injured, I felt even more guilty and my attitude of admitting my mistake became even more sincere.
Clan Chief Sun and Clan Chief Xu looked at their son Lin Yu and nodded in satisfaction. This child was a promising talent.
At the same time, when the two looked at the grandson of the Gu clan chief, they saw that he was looking this way with jealousy in his eyes.
It seems he still hasn't realized the seriousness of the problem.
How come we never noticed before that Gu Yongliang's grandson had such thoughts?
The two looked at each other, then at Gu Yongliang, Gu Yucheng, and Li Shi standing at the back of the crowd, then at Gu Ping'an, and finally at the Gu family.
The two shook their heads in unison; it seemed that the Gu family was just like that.
Even if Gu Chenglin wanted to help them, their greedy faces would prevent them from achieving anything significant.
That prescription will not only fail to help them, but it might even bring trouble to Gu Chenglin.
If things go wrong, Gu Chenglin might get beaten to a pulp and end up pleasing neither side.
When the children of the Lin family saw Lin Ziyao step forward to apologize to Gu Jingye, each of them had their own thoughts.
However, they all understood what this meant.
Among the children present, several had parents who worked at the clan's oil mill.
At that moment, the children's eyes changed.
