Chapter 6: The Ancestral Hall's Scolding

  Liáng Shān quickly arrived outside the ancestral hall.

  The ancestral hall is grand and majestic, with its large gate open like a beast with its mouth wide open.

  Liáng Shān slightly paused and entered from the side door.

  "Hurry up, he's coming!" someone exclaimed immediately.

  "I heard that in Lou Tai Shu Yuan, someone used despicable means to get Miss Da Ma pregnant!" Someone sighed.

  "How ridiculous! He thinks he can climb up to the dragon and attach himself to the phoenix!" Another person scornfully said.

  "I heard that he even beat up his own uncle yesterday, how shameless and lawless can you get!"

  …………

  Strange, in the past, such a noisy gathering would have been scolded by the elders. Liang Shan looked up and saw that the eight great elders were seated at the front, with the clan leader Liang Chunqiu sitting in the middle, his face not looking good. Liang Ziqiang stood at the back with a swollen face, seeing Liang Shan's angry expression.

  No way, this guy's expression is off, coming here to get beaten up and it's all an act!

  Liang Shan's heart sank a little. Liang Shan used to have a girlfriend from the performing arts department.

  Liáng Shān's younger brother took a seat at the station, and the people next to him immediately moved away.

  Li Chunchun was around fifty years old, with a long beard flowing under his chin, wearing a green shirt and a long gown, looking elegant, but actually having skills close to refining the air. Martial artists are divided into skin refinement, bone refinement, and air refinement. Advancing to air refinement is what people call a pre-heavenly master.

  He swept a glance over Mount Liang, flipped his wide sleeve, stood up, and the temple fell silent in an instant.

  "Today, I have called you all here to announce something!" Liang Chunqiu's gaze was sharp and swept the entire room. "The Liang family now has an unworthy son, Liang Shanbo, whose behavior is erratic and ungrateful. He disrespects his elders, beats up his seniors, and is completely unfaithful and unfilial. From today on, he will be expelled from the family, all of his property and land will be confiscated, and his house will be sold for 300 taels. He must move out of Liangjia Valley within three days!"

  As soon as this was said, someone let out an exclamation of surprise.

  Liáng Shān wàn didn't expect that he would be expelled, his shoulders slightly trembling. In a chaotic world, without the protection of a family, human life is as cheap as grass.

  The great elder stood up and said, "The Liang family has produced such an unworthy descendant, the Liang family is truly humiliated. Today's actions are indeed unavoidable. I hope that the Liang family's younger generation will take this as a warning!" After finishing speaking, the great elder's gaze swept across the entire scene, and everyone was solemn.

  "Liang Shanbo, is there anything else you'd like to say?" Liang Chunyu slowly spoke up.

  Everyone's eyes were on Liangshan, with contempt and schadenfreude.

  It seems that Leung's visit yesterday was carefully planned, truly a "big move"!

  You can be angry in your heart, but if you want to see yourself make a fool of yourself, go ahead and dream on!!!!!

  "That's all?" Liang Shan asked with a nonchalant expression.

  Everyone was stunned, did Liangshan Bo get stimulated too much and didn't understand?

  "One hundred and fifty years ago, the Ma family wasn't even worthy of being our shoe-shiners!" Liang Shan's voice was a bit loud. "Now look at the Ma family, why are they able to become a noble family? What did they rely on? Nothing else but unity and cooperation within their own family!"

  Liáng Shān's words were no sooner out than two or three of the elder members hung their heads in shame.

  Liáng Shān patted his chest and said: "Drive me away? Who am I, Liáng Shān Bó? I even dare to sleep with the young lady of the Mǎ family, do you dare?"

  "Liang Shanbo, how dare you yell in the ancestral hall?!" Liang Chunqiu shouted angrily.

  "What am I afraid of? Didn't the clan leader just open it for me? I'm not even a member of the Liang family, what right does the Liang family have to control me?"

  The younger generation of the Liang family were all stunned, as no one had ever dared to confront the clan elder head-on before.

  Ten years ago, a young man from the Liang family almost got beaten to death by the family law just because of his reckless words.

  Liáng Chūn Qiū's beard and hair stood on end in anger.

  "Head of the clan, when you were young, I'm afraid you didn't even hold hands with Miss Ma's maid. But I've been serving together with Miss Ma's maid, that's what we men are like!" Liang Shan said loudly.

  Li Chunchun was so angry that his whole body was shaking. If he had a little bit of sympathy in his heart at first, now it's all gone.

  This is a complete disaster!

  The young Liang family members secretly admired him, no one had ever spoken such arrogant words in the ancestral hall before, completely abandoning "refinement" and being so crude and forceful!

  "Preposterous! Preposterous!" Liang Chunqiu's mustache twitched with rage, and he was about to slap this disobedient son to death as usual, but he had just praised him. This Liang Shanbo indeed had nothing to do with the Liang family...

  "People all say that I, Liang Shanbo, cling to the aristocracy, but they don't know that the word 'love' moves people, so why fear the distinction between aristocratic and humble families? If it weren't for this, Wen Zhu wouldn't have died in despair! The Ma family is wrongly considered a noble family, extreme in their cruelty and lack of kindness!"

  Li Guang saw that Liangshan was being rude to the Ma family, and Liang Chunqiu's heart was greatly frightened. He hastily shouted: "Guards! Guards! Drag him out!"

  Liáng Shān gave a slight bow with his hands clasped together, raised an eyebrow and said: "No need, I'll go myself!" As he spoke, he swung his long sleeves and turned to leave.

  "When golden wind and jade dew meet, they surpass the countless wonders of the world. If two hearts are meant to be together for a long time, why should they be limited to just morning and evening?" Borrowing someone else's poem, Liangshan felt ashamed, but in this situation, walking out of the temple with his head held high without reciting a few lines of poetry would not have been enough to express the emotions in his heart.

  The temple fell silent in an instant.

  Such poetic lines, unheard of before, is this still that so-called unlearned and unsophisticated Liang Shanbo?

  Is this the right thing to do, I wonder?

  As he approached his home, Liang Shan's footsteps slowed down, and he felt anxious in his heart.

  Those people in the ancestral hall didn't leave any impression on Liangshan, but his mother and Zhu Yingtai in this courtyard were already considered as family.

  How can this be good? Liangshan just likes this house, a beautiful quadrangle courtyard, bedroom study room, everything is carefully arranged for 50 or 60 years, how can it be abandoned all at once? Liangshan can't bear to part with it, let alone his mother.

  Liang Liang, who was guarding the gate, had sharp eyes and saw Liang Shan. He jumped up and said: "Old lady, young master is back! Young master is back!"

  Liáng Shān had no choice but to steel himself and walk into the courtyard.

  "Son, how are you? Haven't they been giving you a hard time?"

  Liáng Shān pū tōng yī xià guì dǎo, dào: "ér zǐ bù xiào!"

  Translation:

  Liangshan thudded to the ground on his knees and said: "I'm unworthy as a son!"

  The two words "unfilial" made Liangshan burst into tears.

  "What's going on? Hurry up!"

  "Mother, don't worry and be at ease. The world is vast, surely there will be a place for us to settle."

  Li Yang's body swayed, and after a long time, he sighed: "They have done it thoroughly!"

  "Yes, Mother, I have been expelled from the Liang family, my land has been confiscated and my debts settled, my house has been mortgaged for 300 taels, and I must move out of Liangshan in three days." Liang Shan's eyes were slightly red.

  Li Yang suddenly felt a blackness before his eyes and was only able to stand firm with the support of Zhu Ying Tai.

  "Mother, don't worry, I will rebuild a new Liang Family Village!" Liang Shan shouted loudly.

  Li Yang nodded, grasped Li Shan's hand and said, "Son, one must first establish himself, this is the foundation of being human."

  "Ah, ah!" Liang Shan forced a smile, "The old guys in the ancestral hall are waiting to see me make a fool of myself, I'll let them take a look."

  "Good!" Liang Yang nodded in approval, and then took Zhu Ying Tai's hand, saying: "Ying Tai, I brought you over here thinking that you would have someone to rely on. Now that our family is like this, the engagement can be called off."

  Ying Tai's face changed, and she knelt down on the ground, her skirt fluttering: "How can you say that, old madam? The command of parents is the word of heaven."

  Li Yang's face showed excitement, with tears in her eyes, she helped Zhu Ying Tai up and said: "Ying Tai ah."

  "Ying Tai is willing to marry Shan Ge right away at Liang's house!" Zhu Ying Tai said.

  "Great! Great!" Liang Yang was so excited that he didn't know what to say.

  Liáng Shān's heart was moved, and his eyes glanced at Zhù Yīngtái. Liáng Shān knew that Zhù Yīngtái's actions were all about dignity, not truly loving him. Liáng Shān felt a slight regret, but fortunately, there was still a long time ahead.

  The old lady's gaze swept towards Liang Kang and others, the servants immediately knelt down on the ground, saying in unison: "Wherever the old lady goes, we will go."

  "Good! Good!" Liang Yang was overjoyed and burst into tears.

  The courtyard was suddenly shrouded in a solemn atmosphere, and at this moment, a loud and clear voice came from outside the courtyard: "Is Liang Shanbo, Liang Gongzi living in this house?"
