Manufacturing Empire in the Valley

Comparing with each other

Niu Huahua paused at this point, and then continued: "In the beginning, it was the Chen clan. They spent a total of 40 yuan on the construction of the clan ancestral hall, and they also spent tens of thousands of yuan on the grand completion ceremony of the clan ancestral hall. There was a "Chen's Wanjia Banquet". I happened to be purchasing wood nearby at that time, and I saw the grand occasion with my own eyes. Activities!"

"Then the Liu clan couldn't sit still. They were the closest to the Chen clan's settlement. Seeing the Chen clan showing off, the head of the Liu clan held a clan meeting overnight. At this meeting, the Liu clan The patriarch of the clan said on the spot that they should not be left behind, and mobilized the clan to donate enthusiastically."

"Although the Liu clan is the poorest clan in our Aoshan City, they have overseas ties, and many clan members have developed in the coastal areas. When the old clan leader got in touch with these people, he expressed his thoughts. Afterwards, these overseas Liu clan members and Liu clan members in coastal areas immediately responded positively, and in just one month, the Liu clan raised more than 80 donations."

"Brother Qiang, you should be able to guess the next thing. After getting the money, the Liu clan immediately started to build a new clan ancestral hall. They are bigger than the Chen clan in terms of the area and the number of houses. It was more than double that, and on the day when the clan ancestral hall was completed, the Liu clan also held a grand inauguration ceremony, the scale and excitement of which was even greater than that of the Chen clan."

Niu Huahua said with a wry smile: "How can the rest of the Wang clan and Li clan sit still seeing this situation? I don't tell you what will happen next, you should be able to imagine it, especially the Wang clan, Xiaoshuang Your eldest brother-in-law and your brother-in-law are from this clan, and Xiaoshuang is your daughter-in-law. Naturally, people dare not persecute her, but your eldest brother-in-law is not so lucky. Find your eldest brother-in-law directly and ask your eldest brother-in-law to organize a donation event. To put it mildly, this is flattering your eldest brother-in-law. To put it mildly, this is even assigning tasks.”

"Your elder brother-in-law originally wanted to refuse, but he couldn't stand the persuasion and persecution of his own relatives, so in the end he could only nod and agree. Later, with your brother-in-law's rush, the Wang clan raised a total of more than 150 million donations. It is also because of this that after the ancestral hall of the Wang clan was completed, your elder brother-in-law’s name was engraved on the merit wall of the ancestral ancestral hall, and ranked No.1, which is a real 'brilliant ancestor'."

Niu Xiaoyong interjected: "There are no outsiders here, so I'll tell you the truth. According to what Xiaohua and I got, in fact, out of the 150 million donations, 100 million was paid by your elder brother-in-law himself. Shares, you can get a lot of dividends every year, because of this, the patriarch of the Wang clan will bring people directly to him to make distributions."

At the beginning, Wang Deshui did hold shares in Sijihualushuichang, but later these shares were transferred to the eldest sister's name under Niu Xiaoqiang's instruction.In order to avoid trouble in the Wang family, this matter was not announced to the public, so not many people knew about it.

Hearing this, Niu Xiaoqiang couldn't help asking: "My eldest brother-in-law donated so much money, does my eldest sister agree?"

Niu Huahua nodded slightly: "Of course Miss Chunxiang agrees, otherwise your eldest brother-in-law would not be able to donate the money."

Niu Xiaoqiang was very worried that the eldest sister and the eldest brother-in-law would be at odds because of this incident, and she couldn't help but feel relieved when she heard this.

He thought to himself: Yes, the elder sister is a very considerate person. Although 100 million is a huge sum of money, considering that this is a matter of collective attention of the entire Wang clan, the elder sister will naturally not fall into the hands of the elder brother-in-law. face.

Niu Xiaodong shook his head when he heard this: "Oh, I didn't expect these people living in the valley to be so ignorant and superficial. In the past, people from different clans could cause clan fights for a tree, but now they are fighting for a symbolic tree. The clan ancestral hall is starting to be richer than anyone else, it seems that everyone's heads are not in direct proportion to the speed at which their purses bulge."

The clan fighting over a tree that Niu Xiaodong mentioned happened when Niu Xiaoqiang was still in elementary school. At that time, there was no reform and opening up, and huge social changes were still brewing.

People living outside the mountains still clearly feel the atmosphere of impending change, but the news inside the mountains is blocked, and many people still look at the world with the old way of thinking.

Niu Xiaoqiang remembered that when he came home from school that afternoon, his mother Sun Mei sat on the threshold of his house chatting with the neighbors next door.The expressions of the villagers are all serious, but at the same time there is a hint of excitement.

According to everyone, at noon that day, there was a dispute between the Chen clan and the Liu clan over the ownership of a century-old tree. In the end, the dispute turned into a collective fight between the two big families.

As a result of the fighting with weapons, both sides suffered casualties. Even the city was alarmed, and many people were sent to deal with the matter.

Niu Xiaoqiang was still young at the time, and he was a fool, so he didn't think there was anything wrong with this matter.Because in this mountain, similar things happen from time to time, and it is not uncommon.

Looking back now, Niu Xiaoqiang couldn't help but feel emotional.

Love of face is a common characteristic of Chinese people, and clans also love face.Sometimes, for the sake of face, everyone can ignore life and death, and insist on fighting to the end, there is no such thing as giving in.

Niu Xiaodong stayed abroad in the past few years, and his vision and thinking have broadened a lot, so he feels very boring about the comparison between the four major clans.

Niu Huahua and Niu Xiaoyong stayed in Aoshan all year round, but they didn't think so.

Niu Xiaoyong said: "You can't say that. As the saying goes, 'people fight for one breath, Buddhas fight for one stick of incense'. Sometimes when things happen, you really can't retreat. You have to fight for one breath. Besides, on the other hand, Who can be richer than our Niu clan? Since we have this strength, why should we fall behind? The Lao Niu family is not just a few of us. What do the other clansmen think? Where are they going to put their face?"

Niu Huahua added: "It's like the Liu clan. Their overseas clansmen and clansmen in the coastal areas all donated money enthusiastically. We are still locals in Aoshan. We can't even compare with these people who have gone outside in terms of ideological awareness. Right? If this is the case, can we still hold our heads up in the concave mountain in the future?"
