C1870 Doubt(2)
Fann Binn glanced at the elder and said with a smile, "May I ask this elder..."
"My name is Muchuan Watanabe, I am the Third Elder of the family." The elder quickly answered his question.
Third Elder? That was Captain Suzuki's father. It seemed like both father and son had a cautious attitude towards Fann Binn. Fann Binn smiled and nodded at him, "Elder Watanabe, you are right. Although Muchuan family has a long history, I can't possibly pay attention to you for no reason. I'm telling the truth. There's a reason why I pay attention to the Muchuan family. I think there's no free lunch in this world, and it's even more impossible for there to be free assistance. I admit that I have come into contact with the Muchuan family and helped you reclaim your property. There is a purpose."
"Hua..." The elders did not expect Fann Binn to be so direct. He actually admitted to the fact that he had planned this long ago without any hesitation. At this time, the Third Elder, Muchuan Watanabe, couldn't help but snort coldly, "Mr. Fann, at least you are honest. How dare you admit the truth of your own accord? Since you are so direct, we don't want to beat around the bush. Speak the truth. You have been paying attention to the Muchuan family from the very beginning. What benefits do you want from us by sparing no effort to help us reclaim our property? Are you the same as the Chrysanthemum Party, plotting against our family's property? "
" No, no, no. The Chrysanthemum Party schemed against your family's property and coveted your family's money. That is because they are short on funds and are driven by their interests. As for my little wealth of the Muchuan family... I really don't like it. " Fann Binn shook his head and said with a smile, "I have quite a lot of savings and wealth. There's no need to cheat you for this amount of money."
"Not for money... Then why are you doing this? " Seeing Fann Binn being so direct, the unexpected patriarch couldn't help but stand up and ask. " Besides that little fortune of our Muchuan family, how can there be anything else that interests you? "
"Not only me, I'm afraid the Chrysanthemum Party is also very interested in it." Fann Binn had a better understanding of the current situation. Among the core members of Muchuan family in this room... As the leader of the family, the patriarch no longer had the dignity and prestige he had in the past. However, he had been the patriarch for many years. A portion of the elders should still follow him. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to sit as the leader."
"These elders have their own different ideas. They are like the Third Elder, rejecting Fann Binn. Many of them were afraid of being cheated and blackmailed again, but they were wary of the Second Elder, who wanted to get closer to Fann Binn. There should be many elders who hope that Fann Binn can help them get rid of their current poverty. This will form a situation where three sides stand side by side. It was the Romance of the Three Kingdoms of Muchuan family!
As long as the Muchuan family did not oppose it on one side, it would prove that Fann Binn still had hope. It was also because of this that he decided not to waste his breath and went straight to the point.
He was determined to get that half of the peach wooden mirror, regardless of whether the elders of the Muchuan family agreed or not. He must take this treasure away! It would be best if they were willing to do so. Then, everyone could get together and leave. In any case, he had done enough for the Muchuan family, and if they were unwilling... Then don't blame Fann Binn for being stubborn!
In short, he had to make a request openly, and see how these guys would react first!
Of course, there was another reason why Fann Binn wanted to take the initiative to speak straightforwardly. That was, he was not sure whether the peach wooden mirror was in the hands of the Muchuan family. Although he had seen pictures of the antiques of the Muchuan family in the study of Yi Teng, the eldest son of the Chrysanthemum Party, there was indeed a peach wooden mirror in the pictures, but the problem was that he hadn't seen the real thing yet. He wasn't sure. This was also the reason why Fann Binn wanted to speak directly.
"The Chrysanthemum Party is also interested?" When the patriarch heard Fann Binn's words, he couldn't help but be stunned. But very quickly, he seemed to have reacted and said in surprise, as if he had suddenly realized something. "Don't tell me... you are talking about the antiques passed down in our family?"
"Patriarch, I don't want to beat around the bush. The reason why I helped the Muchuan family... I am not selfless, because there is something that I desire very much. That thing is very important and meaningful to me. " Fann Binn said very seriously, "As long as you are willing to give it to me, no matter what your request is. As long as I can do it, I will definitely help Muchuan family settle this matter. "
Fann Binn was undoubtedly very sincere. After all, this half a peach wooden mirror was the last Tang Sect's secret treasure left by Patriarch of Tang Sect. As long as he could obtain it and find the location of the Sky Mist Peak, the map of Patriarch of Tang Sect's tomb would appear. At that time, Patriarch of Tang Sect's tomb would reveal its true colors, and he would also find the answers to some of the questions he wanted from the tomb. Therefore, as long as this item was in the Muchuan family, he would give it to them. Even if he didn't give it to them, he would still give it to them!
When they heard that Fann Binn wanted the ancestral antique, some of the core members of the Muchuan family let out a sigh of relief. Some of them furrowed their brows. Obviously, they had a strong resistance against Fann Binn wanting an antique passed down from their ancestors. Of course, these people included the patriarch of Muchuan family. As a patriarch who was in charge of the family's affairs, how could he possibly be willing to hand over the things passed down by his ancestors to someone else?
"There are indeed some antiques left behind by the old ancestor of Muchuan family. Originally, these antiques were the family heirlooms of Muchuan family. Since the ancient times, they have been passed down from generation to generation. No matter what, we can't give them to someone else. "
The patriarch hesitated for a long time, then he said, "But Mr. Fann has done us a favor. It was you who helped us deal with the Chrysanthemum Party. You have allowed us to see the light of day once more, and reclaim the property that belongs to the Muchuan family. Humans can't be ungrateful. No matter how hard it is to repay the kindness we owe him. We must do our best to repay it. "
"However, some of the antiques were clearly stated by our ancestors. Treasures that are not allowed to be lost are not allowed to be transferred or sold... So I really want to know... Mr. Fann, what exactly do you mean by 'ancestral antiques'? "
When he heard the patriarch's words, before Fann Binn could say anything, the Third Elder, Muchuan Watanabe, who was standing beside him, spoke out in surprise. "What? Patriarch? Are you for real? You want to sell out the things left behind by your ancestors? Haven't you sold out the Muchuan family enough? "
" Watanabe! What nonsense are you spouting? How dare you disrespect the patriarch? You don't want to live anymore, do you?!" Muchuan Watanabe's direct question immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of the elders who supported the patriarch. Soon, there were elders who scolded him.
"I have no intention of disrespecting the patriarch. I just want him to know... The things of Muchuan family were not something that could be given away casually. Even if he was the patriarch, he could not give something left behind by his ancestors to anyone! "Muchuan Watanabe's words were loud and clear, and it was filled with anger. He said," Whoever has a problem will have to wipe their own ass. Don't always use the things of Muchuan family to cover the bag! Our Muchuan family isn't that generous! "
If Muchuan Watanabe's words just now were to question the patriarch, then what he said now was undoubtedly challenging the authority of the patriarch. He wanted the patriarch to deal with the troublesome matters he had committed. His meaning was clear. The Muchuan family's current state was caused by the patriarch. No matter what, the patriarch had to solve this mistake himself, and not rely on the wealth of his ancestors to exchange for the help of others.
The patriarch's facial expression was as ugly as it could get, but it was also true. Any leader who was challenged by a subordinate would not feel comfortable. After Muchuan Watanabe's question, the entire meeting room exploded. These elders immediately started criticizing each other. If you scold me, I will blame you. For a moment, the atmosphere was very lively.
Fann Binn quietly watched this farce unfold in front of him without expressing any opinion. He knew that this was an internal dispute of Muchuan family. If he spoke out, the more he helped, the messier it would become. He might as well shut his mouth and not make a sound.
In fact, he could tell from the words of the patriarch of Muchuan family that it was the antiques left behind by their ancestors. Some of them could be traded, but some of them were not allowed to be sold. Even if he was the patriarch, he was afraid that he would not be able to help him with the treasures that were given to him.
In that case, Fann Binn was guessing that half a peach wooden mirror could not be considered one of the ancestral antiques that could not be traded.
The elders kept arguing with each other, and the entire room was filled with the sounds of questioning and rebuttal. The patriarch sitting in the high hall next to them had a pale face. He quietly stood there, as if he was already used to such a scene. Ever since the Muchuan family migrated to this valley, it was estimated that these elders' dissatisfaction towards him had reached its peak. His prestige in the clan was probably due to that time. He had fallen to the lowest point.
"Are you done arguing? Are you done arguing!?" After a while, the Second Elder, Muchuan and Yamazaki suddenly let out a furious roar, causing the noisy meeting room to immediately quieten down.
He angrily glared at the elders and shouted angrily. “ Who still wants to argue? If you have the ability, then run out and argue in front of the clan members! You don't find it shameful, but I do! Can this matter be resolved just by quarreling? The Muchuan family is already in such a state, what's the point of arguing here and there! The most urgent matter now is how to restore the status of the people of the Muchuan family to their former lives. It's not that you can just talk nonsense, but that you can return to your previous happy life!"
Hearing the Second Elder's words, the Third Elder, Muchuan Watanabe, lit a cigarette. After taking a deep breath, he raised his head and said with a frown, "What the Second Elder means is..."0
"My meaning is very clear. I support the patriarch!" Muchuan, Yamazaki, said straightforwardly, "Who is Mr. Fann? He did not come to negotiate with us. He came to save us! If you don't want to leave this place and live in the warm and comfortable home of your family... You can stay, no one will stop you!"
"Our people are already living in poverty, and every step they take is difficult. There are so many people who want to live in the wilderness. It is not easy in the first place, but what about in the future? Our generation can suffer, but what about the next generation? Can they give up on medical treatment, give up on education, and become savages in the deep mountains and forests?"
" They don't want the opportunity to save everyone right now. Are you really willing to let your children and grandchildren live like apes? Let me tell you, if the fate of the family is gone, then why do you need those bullsh * t antiques for!? The reason why our ancestors left these antiques behind is to make the future generations live a better life. To leave behind even more precious wealth for the future generations! But now, if we give up the chance to be reborn in order to protect these antiques... Then what else can it be if we don't put the cart before the horse!"
