Chapter 1557 An Opportunity Not to Be Missed

Lincoln and Lin Mang were whispering to each other quietly.

Plus the sound of other people's footsteps.

Even a warrior at the Earthly Element Realm with some skills may not be able to hear clearly.

But Lin Zhentian is a warrior at the Tianyuan realm.

Obviously not in this category.

So, he subconsciously slowed down his pace for a moment at the corner, turned around, and glanced at his eldest son who was of average appearance and his second son who was useless. His eyes were full of disappointment, but it was only for a moment. After this moment, he retracted his gaze and also retracted his gaze at Lincoln and Lin Mang subconsciously, intending to focus his gaze back on the road ahead. Even though he didn't say anything, he met the eyes of Lin Chaoci, who obviously heard what Lincoln and Lin Mang said!

awkward!

Seriously, at this moment, there is no other word to describe it except embarrassing!

It’s okay if there’s a cricket behind your back.

And was caught.

The worst thing is that these two careless sons put a fatal accusation on him, that is, he had a purpose in the meeting.

Of course.

Are what Lincoln and Lin Mang said really all wrong?

Nor is it.

Lin Zhentian did have some purposes.

But sometimes, even if you have ulterior motives, you cannot make them public.

Because some things cannot be said openly.

Many things require tacit understanding.

So, at this moment, even if Lin Chaoci didn't say anything, Lin Zhentian's heart suddenly felt like it had sunk into an icy cave. Even though he was already an old man in his fifties, he was at a loss what to do when faced with such a thing.

But Lin Chaoci did not let the atmosphere become dull.

Not just because this little thing doesn't matter.

It's also because Lin Xia and others have indeed accumulated some goodwill with him.

Even if the two cancel each other out.

He would not make things difficult for Lin Xia's father, second uncle and others.

Including Lin Zhentian.

This grandfather compared to Lin Xia.

Therefore, after smiling nonchalantly, he walked side by side with Lin Zhentian to the meeting hall and asked in a rather curious tone: "It sounds like the senior's third son is a genius?"

"A moderate talent."

"You can only show off your power in a small place like this."

"He was praised as a genius by the locals."

"It's not worth mentioning in my family."

"I'm sorry to have made you laugh, young master."

Seeing that Lin Chaoci had no intention of blaming him, Lin Zhentian boldly added: "Just now, my two sons spoke without thinking..."

"It doesn't matter."

Lin Chaoci interrupted with a casual wave of his hand.

Some words can be interrupted.

Some words cannot be interrupted.

Interrupting a normal conversation is considered rude.

But if the other person has something to hide, force him to finish speaking.

This is also a disrespectful behavior.

Be kind to others and be kind to yourself.

Lift high and put down gently, sometimes it produces better results.

So, after passing the door, Lin Chaoci turned the topic around and changed it to another path: "It is not the lack of wealth that is worrying, but the inequality of wealth. This is the truth I learned from the book, but in my opinion, people's understanding of this sentence is often narrow... In their view, absolute fairness is like a bowl of rice. If three brothers eat it, each should eat one-third, but they forget that everyone's ability is different... Suppose the eldest brother plows the land and grows the food with great effort, suppose the second brother cooks and has good cooking skills, and suppose the third brother stays at home and does nothing all day long... Then, what is true fairness? It is not that each of them eats one-third of the rice, but the eldest brother takes half of the rice, because without the food he grows, the second and third brothers would not be able to eat, and the second brother takes two-thirds of the remaining food, until he is full, because the second brother cooks the food into delicious meals. Although raw rice can be swallowed and can fill the stomach, no one wants to eat raw rice when they can eat cooked rice. As for the third brother, because he did nothing, he can only eat leftovers... Those who work more get more, those who work less get less, and those who don't work get nothing. This is the true meaning of "not lacking but unequal distribution"... I wonder what the seniors think of this idea of ​​the younger generation?"

“Extremely insightful!”

Lin Zhentian did not hide his surprise.

He touched his beard out of habit.

He silently raised Lin Chaoci's status in his heart by two levels, because Lin Chaoci was so mature that he didn't look like a six-year-old.

But when I think of those geniuses in my family.

What is the Tianyuan realm at the age of fifteen?

What is the Yuandan realm at the age of twenty?

It seems that it is not incomprehensible.

Take his third son Lin Xiao for example.

Got married at sixteen.

He married the daughter of a small family that was affiliated with their branch of the Lin clan.

At the end of the same year, I had a son.

I am now twenty-two years old and my son is six years old.

That is his little grandson Lin Dong.

To say that he is very mature in doing things, it is not true. At least in the eyes of his father, his third son is still a greenhorn, and even more so than his eldest son and second son. But to say whether he can set up his own household, he can, because after all, his third son Lin Xiao is strong enough.

Like a wild wolf on the grassland.

As long as you can hunt for food every day.

Even the kind that you can’t finish.

You are the most handsome boy in the eyes of all the female wolves on the grassland.

It can also be said to be the best partner.

It has nothing to do with whether you can do housework or not.

But if you can't hunt for food, even if you are thrifty and good at managing the household, you will still be considered incompetent in the eyes of all the female wolves.

Therefore, whether a person is mature or not is often determined by his or her strength.

Men are responsible for going out there.

Women are responsible for managing the household.

A man can have no worries when he has a woman.

When a woman owns a man, she can avoid being coveted by others.

This is the law of survival in Tianxuan Continent.

Of course, if this logic is applied, the Lin family branch that he created is like a wolf pack. He is the old wolf king, leading the little wolves below to create a world for the smaller cubs, obtain more food, and feed these cubs.

The ascension of the new Wolf King is definitely not an automatic inheritance by the eldest son.

But it is for those who are capable.

Because letting a mediocre wolf king take power will only put the wolf pack to death.

Only one wolf king strong enough can take the throne.

Only then can this family continue to survive.

There are many kinds of strength.

The power of brute force is powerful.

The power of wisdom is also powerful.

A wolf king who advocates brute force may be able to hunt a lot of prey, but a wolf king who advocates wisdom can also obtain enough food for the wolf pack by commanding other wild wolves to form a circle.

Therefore, whether it is strong strength or precocious mind, any one of them is an absolute advantage at this age, and if the two are combined into one, it is already a king bomb.

However, Lin Zhentian's speaking style was not to answer one question at a time, like squeezing toothpaste, but to be crisp and straightforward. He knew clearly that he could not let the atmosphere cool down, especially since Lin Chaoci had already given him a way out and did not care about the matter. Naturally, he had to return the favor and continue talking about the topic, at least not to embarrass Lin Chaoci.

So Lin Zhentian just had to be shameless.

While he made up his mind, he would call his stupid eldest and second sons over immediately after Lin Chaoci left the branch family he had established, and beat them with a whip dipped in strong liquor while disinfecting them.

He gave up all the original plans, discarded all the planned routines, and tried to show his sincerity directly to see if he could redeem Lin Chaoci's impression of the Qingyang Town branch family: "It's embarrassing to say that it's my fault as a father, but I need my son to make up for it... When I was young, I didn't follow the original tactical plan during the command, but changed the route in a self-righteous way. I could have blocked it, but in the end, I let some of the Wang family run away... In short, although the team I led at the time did not suffer any unexpected losses, a good backup plan went wrong with me. "My dear son, this punishment is reasonable for me to bear, and I accept it wholeheartedly... However, people always have some thoughts in this life. My parents are buried on the north slope of the cemetery, so I also want to be buried on the north slope of the cemetery. Maybe it's because I know I don't have much time to live, because I am now almost 60 years old, and I can only live to 80 at most. After that, living one more day is a day gained. The recurrence of hidden injuries may take my life at any time... So, my dear son, I won't hide anything from you. If possible, I would like to ask you for some advice on what I should do?"

Since sincerity is important.

Then be unreserved.

Lin Zhentian has gone through many ups and downs in his life.

When he was young, he was badly hit by the genius of his family.

When he was young, he joined the law enforcement team. With the rest of the family, he followed orders and participated in several frictions with other families and sects. To put it bluntly, the people at the top took action, and the people below tried their best to seize the advantage. The five major clans and three major sects of the Great Yan Dynasty have always been in a competitive relationship, so often those young clan leaders, young sect masters, saint sons and daughters, and direct disciples at the top, if they didn't fight, a large number of people below would die.

When he was in his prime, he made mistakes and was punished. His spirit was crushed and he became half-disabled. He left his hometown with his wife and children and came to Qingyang Town. Because he was a young hero of his lineage when he was young, he became the leader of his lineage. Otherwise, he would not have been able to enter the Tianyuan realm at the age of 24, become the captain at the age of 26, and lead more than 50 members of the law enforcement team. In terms of position, it is higher than Lin Langtian now, which is the difference between the squadron leader and the squadron leader. Personal relationships are still very important in the family, and you need that foundation to use relationships. Therefore, when he, the leader, was punished, his lineage naturally could not escape. Several uncles, aunts, and uncles followed him and came with their families. This is why the branch family was able to grow within three generations.

In old age, he finally got a son who was more talented than himself. Despite the lack of resources, he reached the Tianyuan realm earlier than him, which finally gave him hope of returning home.

Maybe for Lincoln et al.

It doesn’t matter whether you go back or not.

Compared to the Lin clan that I have never seen before.

Qingyang Town is more like their home.

But for Lin Zhentian, the clan is his real home.

Therefore, Lin Zhentian's mentality has been smoothed out.

Not lying flat.

It's the kind of calmness that's stable and peaceful.

Give up where it is necessary.

Where there is room for improvement.

Don't show off your cleverness where it shouldn't be shown.

This is the life experience that Lin Zhentian has summarized over more than 30 years.

This is also the reason why Lin Chaoci is not disgusted.

Following Lin Zhentian, he entered the meeting hall.

It is worth mentioning that the meeting hall is the name that Lin Chaoci likes to call it. In modern terms, it is a reception room. Some forces like to build this place like a palace, while some forces like to build this place into a wing room in the inner courtyard. Anyway, the essence remains unchanged. They are all used to entertain guests, or to gather everyone to discuss something seriously, or to announce some decisions in public.
