Chapter 1340 Famine and Natural Disaster 499

The clan leader did not elaborate, but only said: "That's what I said. I'm not saying anything about anyone, but I want you all to be alert. Not only you can't tell anyone, but people in the clan can't tell anyone either. Take care of your family and children. Our clan has just started to prosper. We have more money and better lives. It's time to make plans for our future generations."

"Practice the way of a gentleman, cultivate your speech and morality, cultivate yourself and manage your family, and accumulate virtue for future generations."

After hearing these words, the tribesmen couldn't help but ponder.

Their lives are better now, but they do have to take care of the women and children at home.

Seeing that they listened carefully, the clan leader continued, "It is not desirable for only one member of the clan to have a promising future. As the clan leader, I hope that one day, the clan will be filled with talented people."

"If a clan wants to cultivate more talents, the first thing to do is to have clan style, clan training, and clan rules. Our Cheng clan has already had clan style, clan training, and clan rules. Now that the clan is living a stable life, we should pick up what we should pick up and act strictly in accordance with the clan style, clan training, and clan rules established by our ancestors. If anyone violates any of these rules, regardless of gender, the punishment will be the same. Do you remember?"

"remembered!"

The heads of the clan said in unison.

"Restrain your family members and rebuild their moral character. Every family has one or two people with questionable moral character, and they need guidance from you, the head of the family. When family members make mistakes, you should treat them with caution and handle them clearly. This is not only for the harmony of your family, but also for the long-term development of the clan. We have the life we ​​have now, and we should be grateful to Mingyi girl and Yuanxi's family. They have walked the most difficult road for us, so there is no reason why we can't walk the rest of the way, don't you think?"

"Correct!"

"We can definitely do this."

The clan leader smiled and raised his hand to suppress the voices of the crowd, "Yes, we can all do it. We should teach our children well and be an enlightened and wise head of the family."

"Chief, we understand. We have had enough of the days of fleeing famine. Our life is good now, and we are content."

"You are all reasonable people. Well, I called you here to talk about these things. Remember what I said. If there are people in the family who are confused, don't know what to do, like to take advantage of others, or like to gossip, once they are discovered, they will be severely punished according to the clan rules. If you have nothing to do, go back and do what you need to do."

The tribesmen walked back with solemn faces, the days of living a day-to-day life were gone forever.

Since they began to flee famine, the clan's customs, teachings, and rules have gradually taken shape, and they are also forgotten; suddenly they are brought up and engraved in their bones, and the shadows of the clan's customs, teachings, and rules that they have recited since childhood are revived again.

Every family has one or two people who are confused and have to worry about their hard life.

"Why did the clan leader suddenly talk about clan rules?"

"Didn't the clan leader say that for the sake of long-term planning, we'll just live our lives like this; our children and grandchildren still have the opportunity to go out and make a difference, so we can't abandon the clan rules. We have to restore our family traditions and discipline those who ruin the family's reputation. If something really goes wrong, the troublemakers will be punished, and none of us as the head of the family will be able to escape."

It is definitely embarrassing, and if it is serious, the head of the family must stand up and accept the punishment out of responsibility.

Such things were not uncommon in the past, but the rules in the clan have indeed improved a lot.

"So, we should pay more attention to family matters, alas."

The days of being a hands-off manager are gone forever.

"Why are you sighing? Just think about how great it would be if there was a promising scholar or juren in your family!"

Everyone fantasized about having a scholar among their children or grandchildren, who would walk with the wind!

The problem arises again. Their family has been indulged for a long time, and it is a bit difficult to correct it. This time the clan leader seems to be stricter than before, and I am afraid there will be some trouble for a while.

Everyone guessed correctly. The lax clan style suddenly became strict again. There were many people who committed crimes. No one who committed crimes escaped. Every one of them was counted as one, and the punishment was light or heavy according to the degree of the crime. After Mingyi and Zhou Ting left, the clan leader, the old village chief, and the elders of each clan took half a year to suppress the evil trends in the clan.

If it cannot be completely eliminated, then it will be suppressed under heavy moral shackles.

Good suppresses evil and prevents it from causing any trouble.

Mingyi stayed at home for half an hour, but as it was getting late, she had to leave with Zhou Ting.

Chen Daya watched them ride away on horseback with tears in her eyes.

Cheng Yuanxi supported her and watched his daughter leave surrounded by a group of guards. They looked away only when they could no longer see the guards.

Cheng Dazhu sighed, "Mingyi! I don't know when we will meet again after this trip."

"She will come back naturally when she needs to. Why worry so much?" Luo Cuihua rolled her eyes at him. "Mingyi has been away for five years. It's not her first time to go away. The prince of Zhou treats her so well. She deserves nothing."

  Cheng Dazhu:

He looked at his old wife for a long time and sighed.

Cheng Yuanxi supported his wife and looked at the people in the first and second rooms, "Big brother and sister-in-law, second brother and sister-in-law, we are going home first; Mingli, let's go home."

"Coming, Dad."

Cheng Mingli trotted to Chen Daya, held her other hand, and the family of three slowly walked back.

Chen Daya didn't have the energy to argue with her mother-in-law. They finally saw each other again, and the reunion was like separation. Sadness and worry lingered in her heart, and her heart and lungs felt uncomfortable.

Cheng Yuandong sighed, "Mom, my third brother and his wife are just feeling sorry for their little niece, and your words are really hurting them!"

"I didn't say anything wrong." Luo Cuihua said confidently, "You guys have grown up, I've married you and given you kids, yet you come here to blame me as your mother."

"Mother, your sons will be filial to you and are willing to be filial to you; however, can you pay more attention to your third brother's little niece? Our family is doing well and life is easy, so why bother?"

He just couldn't understand it. The good life he had now was something he had never dared to imagine before; he had money and a backer, his third younger brother was doing well, and his two children were also doing well. Because of them, they could stand tall in the Northwest and didn't have to worry about being bullied by others.

His mother's behavior seems to be getting more and more confused as she gets older.

"You bastard"

Before Luo Cuihua finished speaking, Cheng Dazhu was afraid that she would say something hurtful, so he quickly interrupted her, "Okay, eldest brother, second brother, you go back first."

"Okay, Dad, you and Mom will come back slowly!" Cheng Yuannan didn't want to see the conflict between his parents, so he pulled his wife and children away quickly.

Cheng Yuandong shook his head, winked at his wife, and the family left.

After they left, Cheng Dazhu looked at Luo Cuihua steadily, and only spoke when he made her feel uncomfortable, "You are a grandmother now, you should know what to say and what not to say; don't disappoint the children, why do you think we have a peaceful life now? You enjoy Mingyi's benefits while looking down on her, what's the difference between eating with a bowl in your hand and cursing your mother when you put the bowl down?"
