Chapter 1078: 718: The 10th Family Head of the Yin Family (6,000 Words)_4

Even though Yin Shaohui tapped his cane, she couldn’t help but secretly focus her attention on her aching legs. She shuffled her feet, finally feeling a bit more comfortable...

"The lineage of the Yin Family is still continuing, and the family rules and ancestral teachings need someone to inherit. My wife and I have managed the Yin Family for over thirty years, but now we’re old, and it’s hard for us to keep up physically and mentally."

Upon saying this, a quiet murmuring began to fill the previously silent setting.

"Especially because times are changing too fast; the old traditional concepts of us old folks are not recognized by the young anymore."

"On this great day of ancestral worship, my wife and I, along with Shao Huai, Shaoqun, and Shao Ting, unanimously decided to let Yin Shixiu inherit the role of Family Head of the Yin Family, and Su Xiaomeng as Family Matriarch."

"..."

Su Xiaomeng was stunned, thinking about her aching legs one moment, and shocked by Yin Shaohui’s words the next.

She thought she might have misheard due to being distracted, but with so many people behind her quietly discussing, it was like they were echoing the old master’s announcement.

It confirmed to her that Mr. Yin indeed spoke about the inheritance of the roles of Family Head and Matriarch.

It was undeniable that her husband would inherit the Family Head position; Su Xiaomeng just didn’t expect everything to be settled so quickly.

Moreover, it was during a time when her husband’s health hadn’t fully recovered, and he was still sitting in a wheelchair.

What she didn’t anticipate was the doubt expressed in the fragmented conversations of the other members of the Yin Family.

"Shixiu... is only thirty-five years old, no Family Head of the Yin Family has ever taken over the position before the age of forty..."

"And Su Xiaomeng is in her early twenties! Isn’t this a joke?"

"Isn’t he severely injured? Isn’t it still uncertain whether he can be cured in the future?"

"Yes, if his legs can’t be healed, having a disabled Family Head is somewhat damaging to the family’s image..."

"It seems like this big family doesn’t have capable people anymore..."

The fragmented words were extremely harsh, causing Su Xiaomeng to press her lips tightly.

See, the old master was talking about avoiding arrogance and jealousy a moment ago, and now personal desires are fully exposed.

Su Xiaomeng looked at Yin Shixiu, only to see her husband’s calm expression, as if he had anticipated what the old master and old lady were going to announce.

He was simply looking ahead, as though he was looking at Yin Shaohui and Zhou Mengqin, or perhaps at the tablets of the ancestors of the Yin Family...

Su Xiaomeng pressed her lips, just feeling...

This moment felt very surreal, very unrealistic.

The ongoing discussions behind did not cause even a slightest change in her husband’s expression.

His gaze was firm, even carrying a hint of a smile.

After Yin Shaohui announced, he didn’t seem to plan to offer any explanations to those who harbored doubts, but directly spoke to Yin Shixiu and Su Xiaomeng,

"Shixiu, Xiaomeng, come, come to us."

Su Xiaomeng licked her lips, while Yin Shihua and Shan Munan beside them proactively pulled Shuangshuang and Huanghuang to their sides.

Yin Shixiu glanced at Su Xiaomeng and lightly smiled at her,

"Let’s go, Madam."

"..."

Su Xiaomeng’s heart beat erratically, pushing Yin Shixiu forward, stopping in front of Yin Shaohui and Zhou Mengqin.

"Turn around, let the uncles and brothers of the Yin Family, and the juniors of the main and branch family look carefully..."

"The tenth-generation Family Head and Matriarch of the Yin Family, what are their names, and what do they look like."

Yin Shaohui looked at Yin Shixiu and Su Xiaomeng,

"From today onwards, the burdens of the Yin Family fall on your shoulders, you must bear the responsibilities of the Yin Family, its authority rests in you."
