Chapter 641: Troublesome Elders
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After Jiang An settled Sophie and her family down, she went straight home.
She had previously understood the internal affairs of the family and the operation of the businesses, but that was only theoretical knowledge. Today, when she really operated it, she felt very different.
After dinner, she sat on the sofa and said, “I really didn’t expect the family’s internal affairs to be so complicated. Without anyone’s help, I’m really exhausted.”
Mo Shen smiled. “I’m very curious. The other families have elders, and they will form a group to interfere in the family’s affairs, but the Jiang family doesn’t seem to have one.”
“I’ve asked Mom about this. She said that it’s because the Jiang family hasn’t been established for long, and Dad doesn’t have that many relatives to be an elder, so he didn’t do it.” Jiang An recalled.
Mo Shen sighed, “This is also a good thing. There aren’t so many constraints.” Zou Bai agreed. The two of them had really suffered enough from this group of elders.
Elders were different from subordinates. They had the status of elders and could not be ordered around casually.
Moreover, they would be a little arrogant because of this status and had a lot to say about family matters.
Many things had become complicated because of them, and others could not ignore their opinions.
Once they wanted to change those rotten rules, these people would jump out to object. They could not accept new things at all, but their era had pa.s.sed. If they wanted their family to be better, they had to change with the times.
Back then, Zou Bai had gone overseas alone to kill people. When he returned, these elders said that he didn’t care about the family’s reputation.
At that time, their family was already on the verge of collapse. When they were about to fall apart, they did not come out but only spoke after everything was over.
Zou Bai had yet to recover from the feeling of killing. He didn’t care about his elders and directly pressed the gun against the leader’s head.
There were also people who wanted to rush up and threaten him, thinking that he definitely wouldn’t really shoot.
Zou Bai wasn’t afraid of this at all. He turned the gun around and fired at him. He only avoided his vitals and didn’t kill him, but this was enough to shock the entire family.
No matter how many generations the Zou Family had been through, no one dared to even speak loudly to the elders. Zou Bai actually opened fire without any hesitation.
Only then did they understand that the person in front of them was a killing G.o.d. From then on, the elders no longer dared to raise any objections to Zou Bai. He could do whatever he wanted.
Of course, Zou Bai’s hostility had not dissipated at that time. He did not really have any intention of breaking off relations with the elders. Therefore, he would still respect them in some small matters as long as they did not have any objections to his important decisions.
After hearing Zou Bai’s words, Mo Shen was very envious. The Mo Family was a medical family, so they especially respected their elders. This was because traditional medicine in China required time to acc.u.mulate experience. Experienced doctors were very rare.
The elders of the Mo Family did not even take the patriarch seriously. Their medical skills made them arrogant. Some generations of patriarchs were even puppets.
This was also the reason why Mo Shen’s father wanted to find him. If he really didn’t have a son to inherit the position of the family head, he could only choose from the side branches of the family. These elders would definitely fight for their own children. At that time, he would be completely taken over. “But aren’t those elders urging you to have a child?” Jiang An was puzzled. “If they want their child to be the head of the family, why are they urging you?” “Because they want both benefits and reputation. Even if they covet the position of the head of the family, they can’t show it on the surface. They worked hard to urge me to have children so that they could get an excuse. In the end, it can be said that the heir didn’t have children even though they encouraged him, and they can say that it’s better to give up.” Mo Shen studied and understood what these people were thinking.
Jiang An looked enlightened. It seemed that she had experienced too little. If it were her, she would not understand at all.
Mo Shen sighed, “That’s why you can save a lot of trouble now. Without elders suppressing you, you can do whatever you want. If you say that you’re the young master, then you’re the undisputed young master. Moreover, your three brothers aren’t dissatisfied with this decision, and there won’t be any compet.i.tion for the position of heir.”
At the mention of this, Jiang An smiled. “We siblings don’t care who the heir is at all. If you want to be the heir, I can give it up immediately. As long as the family is together and harmonious, it doesn’t matter who becomes the future head of the family.”
At this moment, the servant walked in. “Miss, Mr. Jiang Zhen wants to see you outside.”
“I haven’t seen him in a long time. Let him in quickly,” Jiang An said in surprise..
