Inside the car.
Zhang Chi asked, "Brother Jiang! Shall we go straight back to Songjiang?"
Qin Jiang: "Let's go to Xiaozhai."
A cozy homebody!
That's where Sijiu used to live, the place where his adoptive grandmother lived.
Zhang Chi: "Yes!"
.....
now.
As the Qin family watched Qin Jiang's convoy gradually depart, their expressions became complicated as they looked back at the Qin family ancestral hall that stood tall.
Qin Laoliu: "Truly, life is unpredictable? Who would have thought that the good-for-nothing we looked down on back then would now be..."
Qin Laoqi: "Yes! The Qin family ancestral hall has been built from scratch. From now on, our Qin family will have a place to belong."
Qin Lao Er: "Back then we were talking about Xiao Jiang... sigh... and now he's the one who's really made it..."
Qin Laoliu: "It's a pity... Qin Jiang, though capable and talented beyond anything we in Lianhua Township could comprehend—you could say he's a golden dragon rising from the mud—he doesn't care much about family ties. Otherwise, our Qin family branches would surely be able to..."
"Shut up!" Qin Dali looked at Qin Laoliu and suddenly snorted coldly, "Don't ask for too much! Some people aren't destined to have certain things, but insisting on them will only bring trouble! Xiao Jiang has given you enough, yet you still don't know how to be grateful or content. From now on, if I hear anything like that again, don't blame me for using the Qin family law!"
As he spoke.
He glanced at the Qin family rules he had just drafted.
It can be said that:
The three most important things about the establishment of the Qin Clan Ancestral Hall:
First: Establish a family genealogy! Write down all the members of the Qin family lineage. From now on, Qin Dali will be the ancestor, and Qin Laosan and others will be considered as their own lineages.
Second: Establish the Zhongxing! To put it bluntly, it's about giving Qin Jiang a separate page to prove his importance to the family. In reality, the Qin Clan Ancestral Hall and genealogy exist because of Qin Jiang's existence; otherwise, what's the point of doing this? Is it just pointless whining?
Third: Establish rules! Establish clan rules! For a clan to flourish and grow rapidly...
Rules are essential!
Qin Laoliu shrank back in fear. He was terrified of his father, after all, he used to beat him when they were kids. He didn't beat him anymore as an adult, but he had no excuse. Now, the family rules were being used as a pretext...
"snort..."
Qin Dali snorted coldly and left.
Seeing this, Qin Laoliu said aggrievedly, "I...I didn't say anything...Was Father really that serious...Besides, we really didn't get anything..."
"Sixth Brother!" Qin Laosan interrupted him, "Dad is right, how can you not understand... We've already gained so much."
Qin Laoliu: "Where is the extra? He didn't give me any money, nor did he arrange a job for my son... Yes! I'm very grateful that he set up an education fund so that our descendants no longer have to worry about going to school. I know how to be grateful! Qin Jiang hasn't wronged us, but what I just said isn't wrong either. The Qin family descendants can benefit from this... What do you and I need to benefit from it..."
Qin Laosan: "Shut up! You're looking at things too superficially. Some things can't be judged solely by money; there's also the intangible help involved."
Qin Laoliu: "Invisible help?"
Qin Laosan: "Haven't you noticed that you're always smiling wherever you go in the village? Even the village officials greet you with smiles. Your son was recently named one of the county's top students, do you really think that's just your son's own achievement...? Now you don't even farm the land anymore, what? You're not going to earn money for your retirement... Aren't you worried about not having money for medical treatment... Not worried about your son getting married... You're always cheerful and have no pressure at all... Do you think these are things you should be enjoying...?"
Upon hearing this!
Qin Laoliu could no longer utter a rebuttal.
yes!
Did I really not benefit from anyone's fame?
Based on my past life trajectory, could I really chat and laugh with the township leaders? They probably wouldn't even look at me, right? And why would they talk to me about every policy separately? Could his son really get the county's "Three Good Students" award? It's not that his son isn't good enough, but why should they give him the opportunity to participate in the selection process when his own son wasn't one before? How come he's received "Three Good Students" awards and various honors these past two years...?
fair!
Sometimes it is also very valuable.
He hasn't been farming for the past two years, spending his days eating, drinking, and having fun without worrying about his children's future. Why? It's because Qin Jiang's existence lets him know that even if his son's future is bad, he can still find a wife. Even if Qin Jiang doesn't help, he can still ensure his son has enough to eat and drink for the rest of his life.
He wasn't worried at all about not having money for treatment if he got sick, because Qin Jiang would definitely step in to help if that happened.
So his earlier claim that he didn't benefit from Qin Jiang's influence is simply a case of not knowing how lucky he is.
In a short time.
Qin Laoliu lowered his head involuntarily: "Um... I didn't mean that just now... I... I was wrong..."
Qin Laosan: "Alright! I know you like to talk nonsense! But there are some things you can't say anymore... You should know how to repay kindness."
immediately.
He looked at the other members of the Qin family: "And you should also know that it is our honor that the Qin family has produced Qin Jiang. We must cherish it! We must never follow in the footsteps of the Qin family village."
"You all know what kind of person Qin Jiang is. If you offend him, he doesn't care whether you're an elder or not."
"Do you understand?"
.....
The Qin family members fell silent upon hearing this, and they had to admit that Qin Jiang's existence was a factor.
They won't be bullied for no reason!
They won't be treated unfairly!
I won't let my family be burdened by the inability to afford medical treatment!
They won't have to worry about their children's livelihood!
.....
These hidden benefits are what many people dream of, yet they've already reaped them without lifting a finger. As the saying goes: "[A dragon in your family doesn't need your help; its very existence benefits you for life.]"
As long as this continues, the benefits will persist!
But if they were to do it themselves, given the dragon's personality, it would most likely fly away.
even:
They will follow in the footsteps of the Qin family!
They knew the tragic state of the people in Qin Family Village; it was a story of going from being able to benefit from the light of day to falling into the abyss.
Therefore, he couldn't help but nod solemnly:
"We're awake!"
"Don't worry! Qin Jiang is our pride. Anyone who dares to say a bad word about him will be dealt with by me..."
"I will remember Qin Jiang's kindness for all eternity..."
Qin Laosan: "Remember what I said today, let's go..."
...
After the Qin family left.
The people of Lianhua Township had complex expressions, especially some of the elderly whose eyes shone with fervent light as they looked at the Qin Clan Ancestral Hall.
They longed to build their own ancestral hall, and many elderly people took action—well, they failed.
Not everyone has the money to build an ancestral hall.
Even a small amount would cost over 100,000 yuan, which was too much for an ordinary family in 2014. It could buy a house in the county town. Who would be willing to use it to build a useless ancestral hall? It can be said that it is simply absurd and self-inflicted suffering for a family to do this without producing a powerful figure.
