son-in-law

Chapter 274 Opportunity
After the resolution of the Presbyterian Council, Tang Yan was removed from all positions and his monthly salary was reduced to 5000 yuan.

For a son, a monthly salary of 5000 is simply a humiliation.

Tang Yan, who had just been on the scene for three months, suddenly lost all energy. He didn't comb his hair or wash his face, and lost his temper at home.Seeing no one is pleasing to the eye, scolding the maid for beating the servant, and the mood is extremely bad.

-

In the name of Tang Ling'er, Su Yu bought Tang Dan a big bay red horse. The horse was tall, handsome, big and powerful, and Tang Dan was very happy.

Nominated by Tang Ling'er and agreed by the elders, Tang Dan has officially taken over Tang Yan's position and became the overseer of the Tang residence.The young man used to be idle and idle, but when he shouldered a heavy responsibility, he seemed to be a different person suddenly.

Su Yu couldn't help sighing, driving ducks to the shelves may not necessarily be a bad thing.Although this move is suspected of "pushing seedlings and encouraging growth", the level of the platform still seriously affects a person's development.Tang Dan knew that he didn't understand technology, so he asked someone who knew technology to help.He is only responsible for supervising the account books, and other affairs are arranged for people who know how to do it.He just watched from the sidelines with a serious expression on his face.

After two days of observation, Su Yu felt that this son could be taught.After returning to the princess mansion, he told Tang Linger what he had seen and heard, and Tang Linger was also very satisfied.

The news that Tang Dan took over as chief supervisor soon reached Tang Yan's ears, and Tang Yan was so angry that he scolded his mother at home.The five members of the Presbyterian Church plus Tang Linger were scolded all over from old to young.At this time, a young servant tremblingly came in to report to the door. Tang Yan just stared at him, and when he heard the young servant said that Su Yu came to see him, Tang Yan lost his temper and trot out to meet him.

"Since I lost power, none of those bastards have come to see me." Sitting in a chair, Tang Yan yelled loudly, and then said: "It seems that the sister-in-law is still talking about feelings, and the relationship is not in vain."

Su Yu smiled: "It's only a temporary loss of power, but it's not forever. Brother Seventeen doesn't have to be so annoyed."

Tang Yan sighed decadently: "Sister-in-law, don't try to persuade me, it's useless, I think I'm hopeless. So many people died this time, the trouble is too big."

Su Yudao: "Didn't you suspect that the Meng family had done something wrong?"

Tang Yan shook his hands helplessly: "But there is no evidence. Besides, as a supervisor, I should be able to see that even if someone has tampered with it. Also, the fact that I went to Meng's house to buy wood is itself a crime. The elders will hold on to it. But they don’t say that Meng’s wood is the cheapest. I do bad things with good intentions, and they don’t consider my good intentions.”

Then there was a moment of silence in the room.

Su Yu drank two sips of tea before saying: "Ling'er told me that she felt that Brother Shiqi was wronged. She felt sorry for someone like Brother Shiqi who was unemployed at home. It's just that the elders decided to remove Brother Shiqi from his position. There is no other way. Besides, there are many construction projects in the Tang Mansion without a big supervisor. So I hurriedly chose another one. This time I chose Tang Dan. I think Brother Seventeen should know why he chose Tang Dan. .Ling'er hopes to make amends for Brother Seventeen, so it is imperative to please the elders."

"Ling'er really said that?"

Su Yu raised her eyebrows: "Of course. Today is different. Ling'er used to speak coldly to me, but now she is much better. She is also willing to whisper to me. I know that Brother Seventeen has a high status in her heart. She also said that Brother Seventeen has taken good care of her for so many years. Including the last time he competed with Fourth Brother for the East Mansion's property, Brother Seventeen's performance is always in mind."

"Oh……"

Su Yu put down his teacup: "In addition, I also think that Brother Seventeen should not give up on himself. Let's take a step back and talk about when you will be Tang Qiong's son and Tang Zhen's elder brother. The name of the Seventeenth Prince of the Tang Mansion is It cannot be removed no matter what.”

"Oh, of course." Tang Yan smiled and nodded.

Su Yu changed the subject: "The Presbyterian Church is full of old people, and they will be replaced sooner or later. In my opinion, Brother Seventeen also has a good chance."

Tang Yan frowned: "Brother-in-law, what you said is a little too much. I am already like this now, how can I have a chance to be an elder?"

"That's wrong." Su Yu waved his hand and said, "It's up to people, as long as Brother Seventeen still has the spirit, I think there is a chance. Let's talk privately, Second Uncle Tangning is already 80 years old, how many more years can he last? He gave way to the twelfth brother Tang Dian, and I heard that the relationship between you and Tang Dian has always been good, right?"

"Oh, I get along well with Brother Twelve." Tang Yan lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "He has that hobby, and I even helped him with things. He should be grateful to me."

Su Yu smiled: "Fifth Uncle Tang Li's son is not qualified to inherit the eldership, so he will not wait until he is about to die before giving up his position to others. I predict that before the next family meeting, Tang Li may Give up the position of elder to Tang Kuan."

Tang Yan nodded: "I think it's possible. Uncle Wu has to watch Tang Kuan fulfill his promise with his own eyes. Otherwise, Tang Kuan will refuse to admit it, and Uncle Wu's family will have nothing to do with Tang Kuan."

Su Yu whispered: "The relationship between Seventeenth Brother and Fourth Brother can actually be adjusted."

"How to adjust?" Tang Yan said distressedly: "Last time he fought with Linger for power, I helped Linger."

"But now the fourth brother is firmly held by Linger. As long as Linger speaks at the elder meeting, the fourth brother will probably not object." Su Yu tapped the table twice.

"But..." Tang Yan's expression tightened: "But Ling'er is not an elder. Why is she talking there?"

Su Yu smiled without saying a word.

Tang Yan hunched over, stared at Su Yu for a while, and suddenly said with a half-smile: "Didn't Linger want to be an elder?"

Su Yu nodded.

Tang Yan leaned back on the chair and waved his hands: "No wonder she arranged for Tang Dan to be the chief supervisor. So she wanted to curry favor with Tang Jiong. Hey, I think she was thinking too much. Tang Jiong's position belongs to Tang Jian. If she is willing to wait, I think Uncle Seven may be able to fight for it. However, in our Tang’s Presbyterian Church, there has not been a female elder for more than 100 years. I think she has little hope ah."

Su Yu didn't follow Tang Yan's words, but said: "The position of Uncle Seven should be yours."

"No, no, I have no chance."

"As long as Ling'er can take over the fourth uncle's position, you have a chance to stand up. After turning over, wait for Tang Xun to grow old, and his place will still be yours." Su Yu stood up, shaking his sleeves lightly: "Wait two When the uncles, fourth uncles, and fifth uncles all retire, the opinions of the eighteenth brothers in the presbytery are the most important. Within the Tang residence, seventeenth brothers know who the eighteenth brothers love the most."

After some conversation, Tang Yan seemed to see hope again.But far water can't quench the near thirst, Tang Yan really can't bear this kind of life facing the wall and thinking about the past.He asked Su Yu if he could ask Linger to arrange something for him in the short term.Even small things are fine.

Su Yu thought for a while and said, the Council of Elders just ordered the punishment, and Ling'er can't arrange things for you in the Tang Mansion, so he can only go outside to find things to do.But the majestic seventeenth son can't beat others, otherwise where will he save face.However, the Tang family and the Paper Chamber of Commerce are now engaged in a price war, and water transportation is the top priority of the Tang family.If the Seventeenth brother is willing to personally go out and lead people to protect the water transport, I don't think the elders will stop it.

Su Yu smiled and said: "Young Master Seventeen will go out in person. How dare those Xiao Xiaoxiao make a mistake? Presumably Meng Sixun would not dare to send someone to make trouble easily. Taking a step back, if Meng Sixun dares to send someone to make trouble, I think Brother Seventeen has an opportunity to show up." coming."
