How did such immense wealth fall into my family?

Chapter 213 Trying to fight me? You're still too green.
Wei Da was stumped by the question.

After a while, Wei Dacai said, "You are the backbone of the Wei family. If you pass the position of family head to Feng'er, the Wei family will fall apart."

Old Master Wei poured Wei Da a cup of tea. "People are born, grow old, get sick, and die, and so are families. No family can prosper forever."

Wei Da wanted to curse. "I understand, I won't bother you anymore."

"Yes. Read Buddhist scriptures more often when you have time. Buddhist scriptures can calm the mind and make people more open-minded."

"I understand, I'm leaving."

"Ah."

When Wei Er saw Wei Da return, he asked, "What did he say?"

"He said he wanted to pass the position of head of the family to that kid."

"What?!" Wei Er jumped up from his chair. "Has he forgotten that the kid is the son of Ninth Prince and Jiang Shi?"

"He hasn't forgotten."

"Then why would he pass the position of family head to that kid?"

Wei Da recounted what had just happened. "His mind is now filled with Buddhist scriptures."

Wei Er was speechless for a moment. "Do Buddhist scriptures really have such great power?"

"Some people are willing to go bankrupt to have a Buddha statue gilded."

Wei Er thought about it and realized that some people were indeed that crazy. "Then what should we do? How about we just let him pass the position of family head to that kid? It's just a title anyway."

Wei Da glared at Wei Er. "Have you forgotten about the Qian family?"

"..."

Wei Da rubbed his forehead. "Go and call the third brother and the others."

"it is good."

After everyone had arrived, Wei Da recounted Wei Liefeng's desire for eight shops and Old Master Wei's intention to pass the position of family head to Wei Liefeng.

He had barely finished speaking when Wei San said, "Are those two crazy?"

Wei Si, Wei Liu, Wei Qi, and Wei Ba also thought that Old Master Wei and Wei Liefeng had lost their minds. Wei Jiu's eyes flickered. "Old Master wants to pass on the throne?"

Wei laughed. "What? You want to be the head of the family?"

Who wouldn't want that? "After Fifth Brother dies in battle, we'll all be qualified to be the head of the family."

Wei Da sneered inwardly. From the moment he agreed to frame Jiang Shi, he lost his right to be the head of the family. What family would allow someone with such flawed character to be the head? "You're right. But let's discuss what to do about that kid first."

Wei Jiu: "Isn't he just relying on the Qian family? Let's go and have a chat with the Qian family too."

"What if the Qian family wanted the entire Wei family?"

"They dare?"

"They've just gone from being peasants to in-laws of the Duke's family. They're either extremely cautious or incredibly audacious. My point is, instead of the Qian family, we should approach the Duke of Jin. The Duke of Jin will know his limits, but the Qian family won't."

Wei Er thought about it and agreed with Wei Da. "Then let's go find the Duke of Jin."

Wei San also thought this was a good idea. However, "We can't get in touch with the Duke of Jin for the time being. What if that kid causes trouble again?"

Wei Da gritted his teeth. "We'll give him seven more shops, but he has to go to the academy. Going to the academy will firstly send him away, and secondly give us time to dismantle his backers."

After thinking about it, the others realized that this was the only option.

Wei Liefeng was sunbathing in the courtyard when Wei Da's attendant approached. "Young Master Feng, greetings. Young Master Feng, the master requests your presence."

bump!
Wei Liefeng kicked Wei Da's servant to the ground. "You're the crazy young master, your whole family are crazy young masters."

The servant cursed inwardly. "I was wrong, I'll correct it immediately. Young Master Lie, the master requests your presence."

Wei Liefeng stood up from the rocking chair. "If you ever call me 'Crazy Young Master' again, I'll smash your mouth in."

"I'll remember that. I won't call you that anymore. I'll call you Young Master Lie from now on." "Hmph!"

Wei Liefeng saw Wei Er and the others whistling. "Are you trying to gang up on us?"

"How could that be?" Wei Da looked at him with a smile and said, "No matter whose son you are, you are still surnamed Wei, and you are all our nephews. We've discussed it. Since you want more shops, we'll give you a few more. However, you have to agree to one condition."

Wei Liefeng sat down opposite Wei Da with an air of nonchalance. "What are the conditions?"

“You have to go to Hanshan Academy to study. You are our nephew, and we can’t just watch you become a spoiled brat. If you can stay at Hanshan Academy for three years, those eight shops are yours. If you can’t even stay for a few days, then you have to return those eight shops to us.”

Wei Liefeng laughed upon hearing this. "You guys are really my dear uncles! Is Hanshan Academy even a place for humans to stay?"

Looking at Wei Liefeng with a sincere expression, Wei Da said, "We're doing this for your own good. Although Hanshan Academy is quite strict, it has produced more than a dozen Jinshi (successful candidates in the highest imperial examinations). We hope that you can also pass the Jinshi examination."

"You just want me to suffer. You bunch of scoundrels."

Wei Da: "Only by enduring the bitterest of hardships can one rise above others."

"I can become a superior person even without suffering."

Wei Da: "If you don't go, then we'll just keep stalling. I don't believe that all of us can't outlast one of you."

bump!
Wei Liefeng kicked over the table next to him. "Two years! Any longer and I'll burn the Wei family down."

"Alright." Wei Da took out the documents he had prepared beforehand. "Sign them."

"Sign it! I don't believe I won't stay for two years." Wei Liefeng glanced at it and signed his name. "Let's go, let's go to the government office to transfer the ownership."

"Okay." They'll definitely be able to get in touch with the Duke of Jin within two years.

After the property transfer was completed, Wei Liefeng went back to sunbathing.

The next day, Wei Liefeng was busy in the kitchen when Wei Da's servant arrived again. "Young Master Lie, the Master requests your presence."

"understood."

Chang Sui wanted to say, "If you know, then leave," but he was afraid Wei Liefeng would kick him.

Wei Liefeng only went to find Wei Da after he finished his work. "What do you want?"

"You should pack your things and go study at Hanshan Academy."

Wei Liefeng glanced at Wei Da. "I want to go too, but my knowledge doesn't meet their requirements."

So that's what this kid was planning. Too bad, "I'm an old acquaintance of the headmaster of Hanshan Academy."

"What?!" Wei Liefeng was both angry and furious. "You're despicable!"

"I'm doing this for your own good. You can't go on like this."

"You! You just wait!" With that, Wei Liefeng stormed off.

Wei laughed. "Trying to outmaneuver me? You're still too green."

On the third day, Wei Liefeng left with his servant. He packed up a cartload of things before leaving.

When they arrived, their items were confiscated.

Wei Liefeng was furious. "Those are mine."

"We'll return it to you when you leave. Young Master Wei, please."

Wei Liefeng gritted his teeth. "What a lousy place! They won't even let us bring our things."

"please."

"Humph!"

As Wei Liefeng walked inside, he thought to himself: If Wei Da knew that he originally wanted to find an academy to study, he would be furious.

He used to think he was fighting alone, so he focused on building his own power. Now that everyone knows his grandfather is protecting him, he naturally needs to adjust his approach.

Also, the little girl's eldest brother-in-law is a general, and her second brother-in-law will also become an official in the future. If he were just an ordinary person, how embarrassing would it be for the little girl?
