Chapter 216 The Cao Family
After walking all the way in, Li Daofeng not only found that the decoration here was the same as that of a tomb, he also saw a strange phenomenon. Cao Huifang, a young lady from the Cao family, seemed to have no sense of existence.
When so many servants of the Cao family passed by her, none of them greeted her, the eldest lady, and no one even welcomed him as a guest.
When he saw other guests coming in, these servants would serve him drinks as soon as possible. But after he entered, these servants chose to walk past him and treat him like air.
Not to mention giving him drinks, when he saw him, he was like a god of plague, so he hurriedly avoided him. The difference in treatment was too obvious.
When Cao Huifang saw this scene, her face was full of embarrassment. She quickly went to order a glass of wine for Li Daofeng and Wen Dihai, and then explained embarrassedly:
"Mr. Li, Master Wen, I'm really sorry for neglecting you. To tell you the truth, it's because my grandfather suddenly became seriously ill. All the doctors who were invited to see me said that my grandfather's death is approaching and there is no cure!"
"Because things were in such a hurry, my grandfather did not explain who would inherit the Cao family in the future, so several of my uncles and several cousins began to fight for the family property. The situation was tense, and it was even time to use force."
"My father passed away early, so my father's lineage has no advantage at all. When my grandfather was well, no one dared to bully us. But now that my grandfather is ill, these uncles have shown their true nature and will not bully us at all. Be a human being!"
"You have also seen that even the servants now dare to ignore me, the eldest lady of the Cao family, and look down on me. As long as one of them seizes power, I am afraid that I, the eldest lady, will be kicked out. !”
Li Daofeng couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this: "It's not that exaggerated. Even if you don't get the rights, they won't be able to see you. At most, they will kick you out of the core of the family. They won't kick you out. Is it possible that the Cao family is so big?" Family business, are you afraid that you will have to eat alone?"
Li Daofeng really dared to believe that the Cao family was so ruthless to drive out his relatives. Even if Cao Huifang was not allowed to continue to be in power, he would not even be deprived of food. Such a huge family property could be swept out of the cracks in the ground casually. A few things are enough for Cao Huifang's life, and her life is better than that of the eldest daughter of an ordinary family.
It's not that necessary to kick people out.
Seeing Li Daofeng's disbelieving expression, Cao Huifang smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Li, you really underestimate the ancient family!"
"Not to mention the ancient martial arts family, there are some wealthy families now. In order to compete for family property, which one is not a brother who kills each other, which one is not a wealthy family without filth and blood!"
"Families like ours that have been passed down from generation to generation are actually no less willing to give in than the ancient royal family in the struggle for status and power, or even more!"
"For the sake of power and interests, things like fratricide can happen at any time. There are so many things like frame-up, poisoning, and hiring murderers!"
"As a woman, in such a situation, the best I can do is protect myself. I can't even decide my own destiny."
"Since my father passed away, several of my uncles have been using me as a tool, trying to use me to please some people they want to make friends with. If my grandfather hadn't protected me, I would have either become someone else's plaything, or I would have become someone else's plaything. No longer in this world!"
After listening, Li Daofeng finally understood.
The wages of avarice is death!
For money, family love sometimes really means nothing.
From ancient times to the present, those who succeed are princes and those who lose are bandits. In the struggle for power, if one fails and is kicked out of the house, it is regarded as a matter of family affection. Some ruthless ones are often eradicated.
Li Daofeng had to lament that sometimes this world is really fair. If he gives you something, he will definitely take something away.
Poor people envy the wealth of the rich, but the rich envy the family affection of the poor.
To put it bluntly, it is all caused by human greed. In fact, the wealth of the ancient martial arts family cannot be spent even by a family in several lifetimes.
But they just want to keep all this money for themselves and don’t want to share it with others!
Li Daofeng felt a little pity for Cao Huifang. Like Wu Minhua, she was a poor woman, a woman who could not control her own destiny, but she was unwilling to get rid of such a fate.
Thinking of this, Li Daofeng looked at her and said: "Then how do you want me to help you? Don't you want me to kill your uncles? I really can't do anything about such a thing!"
Cao Huifang said hurriedly: "How could it be possible? Don't get me wrong, Mr. Li, I'm not crazy yet!"
"Mr. Li, this afternoon, several of my uncles and cousins will have a competition at my family's martial arts field to decide who will be the head of the family. At that time, they will send their strongest men to participate in the competition!"
"There will be many powerful people and rich people coming to participate!"
"I want Mr. Li to represent my lineage in the competition. As long as Mr. Li wins the game and takes first place, I will have the right to fight for the future head of the Cao family. Even the future head of the Cao family will be me. !”
"So simple?" Li Daofeng asked doubtfully.
He felt that the Cao family's method of choosing the head of the family was a bit hasty. They said before that it was a life-and-death fight, but now they said that the position of the head of the family can be determined by a competition!
"Mr. Li, you don't know that although our Cao family does not specialize in martial arts like other Guwu families, our Cao family is also an Guwu family after all. The rules set by the family from ancient times to the present are that the head of the family, the strong one, Of."
"With the development of each generation, the current method of fighting has been formed. This is a rule set by the ancestors. No one in the family dares to resist, even if they are dissatisfied, they do not dare to disobey!"
"Mr. Li, many of the rules of the Guwu family are actually very ancient and very practical!"
Li Daofeng nodded. To be honest, he didn't understand very well, but he didn't ask too many questions.
Then he said calmly: "I can promise you, but I only care about the game, and I will not care about other things. I helped you win the game, and it depends on you whether you can take the position of the head of the family!"
Li Daofeng didn't want to get involved in these matters and help Cao Huifang win the game. Even if he repaid Cao Huifang's favor, other things had nothing to do with him.
"it is good!"
Cao Huifang nodded seriously. As long as Li Daofeng could help her win the game, everything else would be easy to say, and his purpose of asking Li Daofeng to come would be achieved.
