Nongmen counterattack: I take my family to a well-off life

Chapter 108
"So what! Isn't it the same for others? People can be promoted to ranks and sit back and relax, why can't you.

If you resign, how can our Fang family gain a foothold in Dongguan Mansion! "The patriarch felt that Fang Chengde was so dull that he gave up his great future for trivial matters.

"The monarch is stupid, and the treacherous officials are in power. You let me go with the same people. I didn't know in the past that you are such a villain!" Fang Chengde was furious. The patriarch is such a character!
"I'm a villain? Okay, okay!" The patriarch was furious, turned his head and said to the servant next to him, "Quickly, go and gather the clansmen here, I want to see who is the villain."

The boy took the order and left, while Fang Chengde stood in the yard, waiting for them to come to judge by himself.

A quarter of an hour later, everyone in the Fang family gathered in the hall.

"Hey, everyone is here, so I'll make it clear. Fang Chengde resigned from office and returned to his hometown privately, damaging the reputation of our Fang clan. Let's talk about what you think!" the patriarch said.

"Ah! Resign and return home!"

Everyone was in an uproar, this was a major event, all these years, they had gained a foothold in the Dongguan Mansion because someone from their clan was an official in the capital, if others knew that there was no one in their capital, how could they go out!

"Chengde, why are you so confused!" A man spoke first.

"Yes, that's the minister of Dali Temple. He just resigned without thinking about us. It's so selfish!" someone else said.

"That's right, how can we hang around in the Dongguan mansion, and lose face." Another person echoed.

Everyone nodded and looked at Fang Chengde with extremely dissatisfied eyes.

"Heh!" Fang Chengde laughed back angrily. He didn't expect that the clansmen of this ancestral home had such faces.

Every year they send things and money back from the capital, and they never stop doing so. Now that they have resigned and returned to their hometown, they need their protection, and they are so virtuous!
"Okay! Okay!" Fang Chengde clapped his hands, "I have lived in the capital for a long time and have never returned to my ancestral home. I just followed my father's teachings and wanted to take care of my tribe. Therefore, over the years, I have sent things and money to Dongguan Mansion every year. Nothing missing.”

Fang Chengde looked around, and then said: "I never thought that the people of the clan would be like this. When relying on me, I was a high-ranking adult, and my words were respectful. When I resigned, I was a selfish villain, and raised eyebrows at me." Cold right.

Sure enough, no one cares about the poor in the busy city, and the rich have distant relatives in the mountains.Heh~"

Fang Chengde's words made everyone sitting uncomfortable, "Nonsense, it is obvious that you disregarded the family and resigned without authorization, bringing shame to our Fang family!"

"That's right, it's your fault. Our Fang clan doesn't have a selfish clan member like you!" The person next to him said immediately.

"Yes, drive him out, we don't have such a tribe!" Everyone chirped, and there was constant slander.

Hearing that they were going to drive him out of the clan, Fang Chengde had no nostalgia in his heart, such a clansman who doesn't know right from wrong, don't mind!
"Fang Chengde, you have also seen that the clan really can't tolerate you." The clan leader said.

"I have seen it, and I have seen it clearly. I am willing to get rid of the clan and bring my family to draw a clear line with you." Fang Chengde said calmly.

"Think about it clearly, apart from the clan, it's not so easy!" The clan leader didn't take it seriously when he heard his words.

"Think clearly, let the patriarch open the ancestral hall!" Fang Chengde said firmly.

"Okay, now that you've figured it out, let's open the ancestral hall and draw the family tree." The patriarch felt a headache when he thought of his resignation. Now that he has no official position, he is useless to the family.

Witnessed by everyone, the patriarch opened the ancestral hall to remove Fang Chengde's branch from the family tree.

"Wait!" Fang Chengde interrupted.

The patriarch paused, "What? Regret it?"

Fang Chengde shook his head, "Cross it out from my father!" He felt that if his father had a spirit in the sky and knew the nature of his people, he would support him.

"Heh!" The patriarch sneered, and then crossed off Fang Chengde's father's line from the family tree.

"Okay!" After the patriarch crossed it out, he handed over the genealogy to Fang Chengde for inspection.

Fang Chengde took the genealogy and sighed. From then on, they were no longer clansmen.

"Write a document and go to the government to stamp it." Fang Chengde said, he wanted to completely sever ties with them.

"Okay! It's up to you!" The patriarch agreed.

After writing the document, the patriarch sent someone to the government to stamp the official seal, and handed it to Fang Chengde.

Fang Chengde took the divorce document, read it once, folded it, and put it into his sleeve.

"Don't use my name in the future, please leave!" After Fang Chengde finished speaking, he turned and walked out.

The remaining members of the Fang clan looked at each other in blank dismay, "Che, I thought he was the Minister of Dali Temple!"

"Exactly! Resigning from office and returning to his hometown, he's a shame, so I won't mention him!" said one person.

"Oh patriarch, what should I do with my girl's marriage? If people know that there is no one in our capital, will they withdraw from the marriage?" A man suddenly asked, remembering the marriage made by his own girl.

They all knew that someone from their Fang family was working in the capital, which made it a good marriage. If they knew now, would they call off the marriage?
The patriarch bowed his head in thought, and said, "Don't reveal the news, find an excuse, and get someone married as soon as possible."

The man nodded immediately, "Okay, I'll go back and discuss it."

Fang Chengde went out and returned to his place of residence.

Fang Yao saw her father coming back with a dazed expression, and hurried forward, "Father, what's wrong with you?"

Fang Chengde glanced at his daughter, "Yao'er, dad is fine, dad is happy, starting today, we have no clan members, we are a family."

"Ah? What's going on?" Fang Yao was shocked, how could there be no clan members?

After hearing this, Mrs. Fang quickly stepped forward and looked at Fang Chengde.

"Those people blamed me for resigning from office and going back to my hometown privately. They disliked me and lost their face. They said that I was selfish and disregarded the clan. So, they want to expel me from the clan." Fang Chengde said.

When Fang Yao heard this, she was furious, "How could they do this? Dad is a good official, and he resigned because he didn't want to join forces with the bad guys. It's unreasonable that they only think about their own interests and blame you!"

"Yeah, I didn't expect them to be such people!" Master Fang also sighed.

"Look, they don't understand things that my teenage daughter understands. In other words, they don't care. They only care about whether they get benefits!" Fang Chengde shook his head and said.

"Father, that's just right! We don't care about people like this. If we follow the Fourth Young Master, it will definitely be better in the future!" Fang Yao comforted.
