Chapter 542 - Have Regard to the Father When He Is Alive (2/2)
“Anyone who wants to join the He Family can stay. Those who don’t, just leave here,” He Youniang says.
The people of the Shen Family and the Qi Sword Sect all look struggling.
Gao Ge just stands by the gate, which instantly disperses their scruples.
They all kowtow to He Youniang decisively.
They have seen through one thing.
By leaving, He Youniang actually means going to hell.
Gao Ge is standing at the gate.
His attitude is clearly shown.
“As long as you join the He Family, I promise that you will be well treated. Of course, if you are disloyal and want to revolt, you can just do it. Maybe now I am no match for you, but if you kill me, my teacher will seek revenge on you.” He Youniang laughs proudly.
See?
It is such a delight to have an excellent teacher.
No one present will doubt what He Youniang says now…
When they go indoors, Gao Ge and He Youniang sit in the chair.
Gao Ge thinks for a moment and says, “It is a huge thing to support a family. Don’t beg me to take you away in the end!”
He Youniang curls her lips, “Sir, you’ve looked down upon me. Anyway, as the daughter of the No. 1 Swordsman in Shanxi, I can’t be too bad, can I?”
Gao Ge suddenly stays silent.
He Youniang grins and says, “Sir, it’s okay. I’m fine. Don’t worry about it.”
Gao Ge says with a bitter smile, “I’m worried that you may be driven crazy if you put yourself under too much stress.”
He Youniang shakes her head, “I’m not that weak. In fact, I’ve thought it through. Whether I’m willing or not, I have to take care of this. Maybe some may say that I’m forced to, or that I’m over-confident… My father didn’t accomplish a lot in his life, who almost spent all his life on his Tao of sword and the management of the He Family. I am taking the path which he took before; I must manage the He Family he made so much effort in supporting.”
He Youniang hedges and suddenly stands up to pacing around the room.
“It is said that one will experience death for three times. For the first time, when he closes his eyes forever, he is physically dead; for the second time, when he is buried, he is socially dead; for the last time, when the last person who remembers him is gone, he is gone for good in the world.”
Gao Ge nods his head.
He has heard of the saying before.
“Therefore, as long as the He Family can sustain, there will be more people keeping my father in mind. If the He Family can last for centuries, people have to mention my father when they speak of the He Family, thus more people to remember him.”
Gao Ge nods his head and takes a deep breath, saying, “Since so, I don’t have anything else to say then. Just tell me if you are in trouble.”
“Surely I will. A teacher for a day is a father for a lifetime. I will always rely on you. As long as I encounter any invincible enemy, I will turn to you for help at once!” He Youniang says grinningly.
Gao Ge looks at He Youniang seriously and says, “Okay. Remember what you say today. As you just said, a teacher for a day is a father for a lifetime. Other kids may go back home to their fathers once they get bullied. If you are bullied, just come to your teacher. This is reasonable.”
Then Gao Ge continues saying, “Confucius says, when a man’s father is living, the son should have regard to what his father would have him do; when the father is dead, to what his father has done. Youniang, I worry nothing about you. After all, you are the most special one among all my students. Of course, you shouldn’t forget to cultivate yourself because of the family management. Whether a family can sustain lies in its foundation and the most important pillar is the strongest person of the family. For a period of time, my name may work, but actually, you are the master of the He Family…”
“Sir, the He Family, for all the coming generations, will serve the Gao Family at all costs,” He Youniang claims with a solemn look.
Gao Ge is slightly stunned. Looking at He Youniang’s serious face, he laughs and nods his head slightly. He doesn’t argue with He Youniang about it.
