Chapter 50: A Rare Opportunity
Chapter 50: A Rare Opportunity
So things are unstable again.
The transactions between the Li family and the Chen family over recent years have greatly benefited both. However, with the passing of the two Chen family elders, the Chen family became a lamb to be slaughtered in Tianlin Town.
Consequently, the business between the Li family and the Chen family could no longer continue because all the Chen family's properties in Tianlin Town have become other people's dowry.
It is estimated that at this time, the Hu family and others were laughing at home.
The Li family in Green Valley Village was once again isolated and helpless.
"Ancestor, what should we do with the surviving members of the Chen family?"
In the ancestral hall, Li Dalong was troubled about how to handle Chen Chuang and his group. After he advanced to the foundation-building stage, the leadership of the Li family once again fell on his shoulders. After all, Li Yaozu really lacked the ability to manage the family.
"The Chen family?"
Li Wei rubbed the edge of the keyboard thoughtfully.
Almost all the surviving members of the Chen family are cultivators. The strongest among them is an ancestor in the middle stage of foundation building. The remaining thirty-one members are all at the Qi refining stage.
But even if they were in trouble, the Chen family still harbors hopes of restoration.
Though their family was destroyed and their property claimed by others, they remain one of the four major families in Tailin Town. How could they submit to the Li family of Green Valley Village? In the world of cultivation, family interests always come first.
Now, the Li family may have taken in the Chen family, but what about the future?
The Chen family might be grateful now, but what about later? It is not uncommon for doves to occupy magpie nests.
"Ancestor, maybe now is not the time to consider whether the Chen family should be taken in."
Just as Li Wei was deep in thought, Li Yaowen's faint voice sounded in the ancestral hall.
"Huh?"
Everyone turned to look at her. Over time, the Li family had come to appreciate Li Yaowen's resourcefulness.
Li Wei was also attentive, wanting to hear what different ideas this smartest descendant had.
Li Yaowen began, "We've been afraid to go to Tailin Town, fearing that the four major families would unite against us, the outsiders. But now the situation is different. One of the four major families is gone, and the Chen family can become our ally."
"If we seek revenge in the name of helping the Chen family reclaim their property, even the Su family might not interfere."
"People like to mind their own business. As long as there's a good reason, the Su family won't risk their strength over internal town disputes."
"This is our opportunity, and now we..."
"We are not without the strength to fight!"
After finishing her words, the ancestral hall fell silent.
They have been suppressing their hatred against the Hu and Wang families for too long!
Li Dalong's four children vividly remember the day their father came home covered in blood, they still remember their father's screams of pain echoing through their minds. That was the first time they had the biggest fear in their lives. They had feared what would happen if he didn't survive.
And this is the reason why they have practiced step by step until now!
The Hu and Wang families had always looked down on the Li family, who had risen from the countryside.
The third elder of the Hu family once came to the Li family arrogantly and regarded everyone in the Li family as ants, as if they could do whatever they wanted in this land. The Wang family took a fancy to their black iron mines, killed their friends unscrupulously, and then came to their land as if nothing happened, wanting to negotiate business with them...
"Fuck the Hu and Wang families, we must kill them!" Li Yaotie's temper flared.
"How dare you!"
Li Dalong glared at his third son. "This is the ancestral hall of our ancestors. How dare you speak nonsense? My ancestors can't listen to such vulgar words!"
"Yes, Dad." Li Yaotie feared nothing but his father's leather whip.
Seeing his son calm down, Li Dalong kowtowed to Li Wei and said, "Ancestor, please forgive Yaotie. He is still young."
"Ancestor, with your order, Dalong will kill both of their families!"
Unbeknownst to them, Li Wei did not find Li Yaotie's words vulgar at all.
Li Yaowen was right. Now was a rare opportunity. Otherwise, after the Hu and Wang families acquire the Chen family's property and grow stronger, it will be even more difficult for them to seek revenge!
The fingers on the keyboard struck, making a crisp and powerful sound.
The Violet Tempest Python opened its scarlet eyes, looked up to the sky, and roared!
Li Dalong stood up slowly, looking at his wife and children. He saw the determination in their eyes, and his expression grew serious.
"Fight a good fight and don't embarrass your ancestors!"
