Chapter 7 Section 6 People in the Family

Let's say that Liu Yan opened a mansion to support guests, and he was so powerful in Nanyang that he gave the Liu family a lot of face. However, regarding Liu Yan's actions, the views of the family members were divided into two distinct camps.The young people in the family, such as Liu Ji, Liu Jia, Liu Ci, Liu Zhi, Liu Xuan, Liu Zhong, and Liu Shun, saw in Liu Yan the hope of changing the status quo and reviving the Liu family, so they all moved closer to Liu Yan , Feng Liuyan as the spiritual leader.As for the older generation in the family, their attitude towards Liu Yan is relatively ambiguous and complicated.

Mr. Lu Xun wrote: "Is there anyone who fell into poverty from a well-to-do family? I thought that on this journey, you might be able to see the true face of the world." The common people, during this period, also experienced the changing face of the officialdom and the cruelty of the world.When the surname Liu was still the surname of the country, it was this group of officials who flattered them.Now that the Liu surname has become a commoner, it is the same group of officials who took pleasure in other people's misfortune and made trouble, and with the spirit of beating a dog in the water, bullied and ravaged the lost Liu family in every possible way.

Fortunately, there is such a ruthless character as Liu Yan in the family, and the Nanyang government dare not be too presumptuous.Compared with the Liu family in other places, the life of the Liu family in Chongling is relatively easy.Therefore, for the temporary interests of the family, the older generation is very grateful to Liu Yan; but for the long-term interests of the family, they are unavoidably worried.It is well known that Liu Yan raises these many disciples, and everyone knows that he intends to rebel. Once Liu Yan rebels, the entire Liu family will definitely be dragged into the abyss by him.

In this dilemma, the older generation is contradictory, calculating, and silent. As soon as Liu Liang returned to Chongling, he was furious when he heard about Liu Yan's actions. Didn't this push the Liu family to a dead end?Others stood by and watched, but my own uncle couldn't let it go. When he found Liu Yan, he immediately asked, "Liu Bosheng, why don't you repent?" Liu Yan didn't dare to contradict his uncle, so he could only giggle "hehe" and stammered, "Eh—as for—woohoo—my day—" After speaking, he turned and fled. Liu Liang was angry and annoyed, he still had a stomach full of reasoning before he had time to explain it, so he took off his shoes and threw them hard at Liu Yan's back, but before hitting him, Liu Yan had already disappeared.Liu Liang was not in a hurry to get back the shoes, he just stood alone like a golden rooster, and finally waited for a child to pass by, and then shouted: "Young son, get the shoes!" Forbearance, take the shoes and return.Liu Liang said again: "Sneak on me!" The child had to kneel down again, and obediently put the shoes on for Liu Liang.Then Liu Liang put his hands on his back as if triumphant, and walked home, muttering to himself: "Whoever destroys my house will surely be promoted!"
