The Wang family in Longcheng once had dozens of people in the yard of the eldest son when the fire opened at night. Now it looks very deserted and even a little gloomy.

Wang Tiannan died and Xiaoqin died, and Wang Zonghan's physical condition was even more worrying. The atmosphere in the entire courtyard was very depressing. Many people who worked here felt uncomfortable staying here, so they all resigned. Usually, only Wang Zonghan's other children and two people in charge were left, taking turns to take care of the sick clan leader.

indoor.

Wang Zonghan, who had lost more than 30 pounds, looked a little weird and scary. His face was pale, his lips were purple, his eyes were sunken, and his limbs were trembling in a hurry every time he moved.

"Don't sit up, lie down quickly." Wang Zongxiao reached out and helped him.

"No...it's okay..." Wang Zonghan gasped violently and said to his children and the person in charge: "You guys go out, I'll talk to the fourth brother."

Everyone looked at each other and left silently.

"Is there... smoke?" Wang Zonghan turned his head and looked at his brother and asked.

"Stop smoking." Wang Zongxiao frowned and refused.

"The person who deserves to die is not bad for this cigarette." Wang Zonghan stretched out his trembling palm and wiped his face hard: "Give me a whole!"

Wang Zongxiao thought for a while, lowered his head and took out the cigarette box, lit one for him and put it on his mouth.

Wang Zonghan took a deep breath of cigarette, and his body was shaking, and inexplicably became calm: "Fourth, while I can still talk..., we two have to decide the big thing."

"What's the big deal?" Wang Zongxiao asked.

"I...I don't have many days," Wang Zonghan coughed twice and replied with a panting: "You have to take this house at home."

"Oh, don't you think randomly. Didn't the doctor have a checkup? You are not seriously ill..." Wang Zongxiao frowned and wanted to persuade him.

"My illness is in my heart." Wang Zonghan shook his head slowly: "Fourth brother, your elder brother can't get through this hurdle..."

After saying a word, the room was silent, and Wang Zongxiao looked at him speechless for a long time.

"Dad is gone, Tiannan is gone, Xiaoqin is gone, and I haven't taken good care of Zong Xiang..." Wang Zonghan lowered his head and cried in a daze: "I've been through this day and my family is destroyed."

Wang Zongxiao held his arm but still didn't respond. He knew that some things could be persuaded, but some things could not be persuaded, even if the two were brothers.

"When Dad was alive, you were the one you valued most among his sons." Wang Zonghan lowered his head and tears fell: "A few years ago, he actually didn't want to be in charge of the matter. He talked to me several times in private, and always asked me tentatively whether to ask you to come back from Nanhu and take care of the affairs of the house with me. I know that Dad wants you to take over his shift the most, but... but I have selfish thoughts, the fourth brother, I want to be the patriarch."

"Stop talking about this."

"Dad asked me tentatively for many times, but I didn't answer. He knew in his heart that I wanted to take over." Wang Zonghan broke down and cried bitterly: "It's all sons. He doesn't want to favor anyone, so he never mentioned this matter again. He just mentioned how I should be the leader of this patriarch... The fourth brother, I regret it, I am indeed not as good as you! If I don't have this selfish intention, let you come back from Nanhu as soon as possible to be the leader of this patriarch... Then maybe the family will not be separated. Dad, Tiannan, Xiaoqin... Zongxiang and others will not die."

When Wang Zongxiao heard this, his eyes turned red and looked aside.

"... I have selfish intentions to clean up the third room. In fact, I have known for a long time that my father's death must not be done by Wang Zongtang. He just wanted to set up his own business in his heart. He would never dare to rebel in this way on the surface... I insisted on dealing with him. On the one hand, I was worried about Tiannan's death, and on the other hand... I also wanted to take down the third room and quickly establish my own patriarch's position... I know that some of our brothers are not convinced, and even Zongxiang doesn't necessarily support me in this position..." Wang Zonghan covered his cheeks with his shriveled palm, crying with great grief: "It's me who greedy for power, I made Wang Zongtang, Qin Yu and the others think too simply... If we don't beat him, why are we here? I killed them... The fourth brother!"

Wang Zonghan could not say these words to his children, nor could he confess to the relatives of the Wang family. He had been holding back his guilt, self-blame, regret and other emotions, and those dark sides for a long time.

"The fourth brother... This family is too heavy on me, I can't breathe..." Wang Zonghan's voice trembled: "I'll hand it over to you."

Wang Zongxiao stood by the bed and watched his every move, and felt inexplicably desperate. He knew his elder brother's character and knew that it would be difficult for him to get out...

After more than an hour of talk between the two brothers, Wang Zonghan was lying on the bed, calling his children, the second and fourth gang relatives, and explaining a lot to them.

...

The next day, Wang Zongxiao personally went to a well-known private hospital in Fengbei to hire a medical team, which specially treated Wang Zonghan in Longcheng, but it was not very useful.

One month later.

Wang Zonghan died of illness at home at around 1:00 a.m., and when he died, he was less than 100 kilograms.

After the funeral, Wang Zongxiao went to Nanhu specifically, found the upper-level relationship of the garrison brigade, and quickly completed the resignation procedures.

Another week later, Wang Zongxiao took over the position of patriarch and held a meeting for the clan backbone of his family.

At the first seat of the conference room, Wang Zongxiao swept to everyone expressionlessly and said softly: "Tell me a few directions. First, no matter what happened before, from now on, we should not provoke any conflicts with Wang Zongtang. Once I find someone deliberately provoking trouble or causing trouble, I will definitely punish them severely. Second, the focus of development in the next five years is within the district. We must reduce industries outside the district and gradually turn our family business to the mainstream. Third, the main industries of the family must be reformed, from the management model of each management to the unified management of the newly established group, and a professional management team must be hired to measure whether these people in our family are capable of sitting in the office and giving orders."

As soon as he finished speaking, the faces of the people at home became a little ugly, because most of them were as managers and managers, but they were scrambling all day long. If Wang Zongxiao wanted to do this, wouldn’t they stay away from the power center?

"Don't be imbalanced, don't think I'm targeting anyone." Wang Zongxiao frowned and said, "If you don't reform others, start with my family, my wife, and my relatives. If they can't do it well, I will rub them as well, and everyone will supervise you."

Everyone was speechless when they heard this.
