The Literary Hero of the Republic of China (民国之文豪) [MTL]

Chapter 193

　　The Mu family clan is located in the countryside of Suzhou.

　　The people in the entire village here are almost all surnamed Mu. They built ancestral halls, established ethnology, helped each other and united together, and gradually grew. Up to now, there are nearly 200 families.

　　The original patriarch and core of the Mu family was Mu Yongxue's father, Mu Daoming.

　　Mu Daoming's father is a Juren, he is also a scholar, and he has many farms and shops, and his family has a big business. Most of the other members of the Mu family have been farming all their lives, and the rest are just doing small businesses or being small landlords without much ability, so they have always followed Mu Daoming's lead.

　　After Mu Daoming passed away, they started to listen to Mu Yongxue again, but in the end they did something wrong.

　　Before the Qingming Festival, many members of the Mu family who had worked or studied abroad returned. Mu Daoqi, who had just taken over as patriarch for a few years, was in the ancestral hall of the Mu family and called some members of the family to discuss matters.

　　In the early years, when Mu Daoming, and even Mu Daoming's father was still alive, he would spend money to build the ancestral hall every few years, making the ancestral hall look like new.

　　but now......

　　Before Mu Daoming passed away, the ancestral hall hadn't been built for two years. After he passed away, no one was willing to spend money to build the ancestral hall. At this moment, the ancestral hall looked a bit dilapidated. Not popular.

　　"At the beginning, Uncle Daoming asked us to take care of Chang Qiong, but look at what you have done?" A middle-aged man with a beard said angrily, "It's fine if you don't help him, but you even turned him over to him?" Get out!"

　　"We didn't want to drive him away. Changqiong was a child we watched and grew up. How could we drive him away? Isn't this Yongxue who came back with a letter saying that Mrs. Zhu treated her mother-in-law harshly and asked us not to help her... " Mu Daoqi coughed lightly.

　　Mu Daoqi is Mu Daoming's cousin. Like Mu Daoming, he ranks in the "Dao" generation in the Mu family's "Family Dao Yongchang", but he has no skills himself.

　　He couldn't study well, and he was losing money in business. If his ancestors hadn't left some family property, he might have to go to the fields to farm.

　　As for being the head of the Mu family, he never dared to hope for it before.

　　Even if Mu Daoming is gone, the position of patriarch should be taken by Mu Daoming's son or grandson...

　　As a result, Mu Yongxue actually wanted to sell his ancestral property and move to Beijing, and then not only sold the ancestral house to him at a low price, but also made him the head of the clan, who had the right to manage the sacrificed land in the clan.

　　Mu Daoqi could be said to be ecstatic, and he became a little closer to Mu Yongxue. Because of this, when a letter from Beijing asked him to drive Zhu Wanwan away, he would agree.

　　As a result, the child Mu Changqiong had a bad temper and went away with him, so many people in the clan blamed him.

　　Now that we are in troubled times, he has neither ability nor money. In recent years, the situation of the clan has been getting worse every year, and the opinions on him as the clan leader are getting bigger and bigger.

　　He wanted to ask Mu Yongxue for help, but Mu Yongxue didn't care about them at all. At the same time, they also heard that Mu Changqiong was promising now, and even Mu Yongxue couldn't compare to him.
