Two Worlds: Beginning from Becoming an Ancestral Spirit

Chapter 51: Our Ancestor Was Not Weak in His Life

"If we really want to worship, our ancestor is definitely better than that one. After all, we are the descendants of the ancestor. When it comes to protecting our own family, we are definitely more dedicated than that one!"

The old man said somewhat angrily.

In fact, it was not only the old man who was angry.

Many of the elders in the Zhao family were resentful.

They are both geniuses, and they are both famous generals in the same period. Their ancestors only have a few temples, but the other one has temples all over the country, and he is even a god and emperor.
Dissatisfied!

Not angry!

"But, kid, I don't have the final say on this matter. We need to discuss it later!" Grandpa Wu thought for a while and said to Zhao Shi in the video.

Then, Zhao Guohui, who was standing next to him, was afraid that Zhao Shi would think too much, so he told him what happened that year.

If the ancestor really makes the decision now and asks Zhao Shi to take the tablet back, the family from that year will probably not accept it.

That year, the ancestor and his men not only almost beat the man to death, but also removed his name from the family tree.

This is a very severe punishment.

Now that his grandfather has burned the tablet, nothing has happened and no one dares to say anything. However, if Zhao Shi invites him back, the matter will not be over.

Zhao Shi heard what Uncle Hui said.

I immediately understood the old man's concerns.

But I also know that if I go to discuss it, there will be no hope.

This discussion was not held by just one family, but by several branches of the Zhao family in the village.

Unfortunately, that person's family is the leading figure in their lineage.

"Fifth Ancestor, look, I have prepared 100,000 yuan to buy the statue of the god. Our ancestor's reputation cannot be lower than that one. I also plan to donate 100,000 yuan to the clan to repair the ancestral hall!"

Zhao Shidao.

"Ok?"

"Ok?"

The grandfather and grandson were stunned after hearing what Zhao Shi said.

One hundred thousand!

This is one hundred thousand!

Even now, one hundred thousand is not a small sum of money in a mountain village. It is more than enough to build a few large tiled houses.

"Boy, are you rich?"

The old man asked with a frown.

"Fifth Grandfather, although I don't have much money, I still have this!" Zhao Shi said.

"Boy, let me discuss this matter with you. If you really have money, you can help your father build a few houses in his hometown. He is so old, but every time he comes back to live at home, he refuses to come. Instead, he lives in a small dark room in the ancestral hall, where he never sees the sun for a whole year, and the room is damp and wet."

The old man looked at Zhao Shi and saw that Zhao Shi did not seem to be lying. He knew that this boy had some family background, so he began to persuade him.

"Grandpa, I was planning to do the same thing, but my parents were afraid that the gossip in the village would hurt me, so they wouldn't let me go back. This time I called to ask Uncle Hui if the family that bought our old homestead is selling it now! If they are selling, I want to buy it back, along with a few acres of land from my family."

After hearing what the Fifth Ancestor said, Zhao Shi quickly told him his plan.

As for the middleman to buy it back, he had already thought of it, and it was Uncle Hui. Because of the relationship with the Fifth Ancestor, Uncle Hui had a high status in the clan, and it was even possible that he would take over the position of clan elder from the Fifth Ancestor in the future. This matter would be best handled by Uncle Hui.

As for him?
He hasn't been back for nearly twenty years and is completely in the dark. If he goes to buy it, even if it can be sold, the seller will definitely not sell it.

Parents?
You still have to find a middleman. Some things are easier to negotiate through a middleman, and even if you can't reach an agreement, the negotiations won't break down.

"Your homestead has been vacant all this time! It was bought with the clan's public funds. If you want to buy it back, the homestead plus four acres of land would cost you 20,000 yuan, according to the original price!"

When the old man heard that Zhao Shi wanted to buy back his own residential land, he let out a sigh of relief and said.

At that time, Zhao Laoqi's family was penniless and had to sell their house and land. However, in the mountain village, residential land can be built at will. Who needs this little residential land?

Therefore, he suggested using the money from the clan's public account to buy it, as a token of the clan's appreciation.

But people definitely can’t be allowed to live there again.

People! What worries us is not the scarcity of wealth but the inequality of wealth.

If the clan pays for it, Zhao's father and mother will move back in, and everyone will follow their example, and eventually the clan's prestige and cohesion will be lost.

Zhao's father and mother also knew about this, so they would rather live in the small dark room in the ancestral hall than live in their own empty house or in the home of a major relative.

The output from the land and the money from the sales over the years have all been turned over to the clan’s public account.

what! !

This was the first time Zhao Shi heard of this and he couldn't help but exclaim.

He originally thought, who would buy a residential plot? The house at home is not big enough, so you can just pick a piece of land and build one. The residential plot in the mountain village is not worth much at all.

Only those few acres of land are worth some money.

It is relatively difficult to cultivate a few acres of cultivated land in the mountains, so most of the 20,000 yuan is used to buy the land.

"Thank you, Fifth Ancestor and the clan, I really didn't know about this!"

Zhao Shi thanked him immediately.

If it is not bought by the clan, it will be very difficult to buy it back. If the family demolishes the house and rebuilds it, there is no possibility of buying it back.

"Well, Fifth Ancestor, you discuss it with the elders in the clan, and I will spend 150,000 to buy back the tablet, the homestead, and the fields in the depression!"

"If the village doesn't allow tablets, then I will spend 50,000 to buy back my homestead and farmland. Please help negotiate with them. It would be best if we can get a result today. As for the statue, they only gave it to me until tomorrow. If the tribe disagrees, I will go and get it back!"

Soon, Zhao Shi told his plan.

Of course, there is no such thing as a statue, but if we don’t say so, the tribe may not agree.

So many things happened for the ancestor's tablet back then, and now he wants to take it away? How is that possible?

"Oh, boy, the tablet of our ancestor is really not worth so much money. The price given by the experts back then was three thousand, and those who like it would pay at most five thousand." The Fifth Ancestor persuaded.

Because this case was a theft and involved a monetary amount, the conviction had to be based on the amount, so we found a specialized expert to conduct an assessment.

The material of the tablet is ordinary, and it is not written by a celebrity. If it is not hundreds of years old, the tablet would be just dry firewood. It is precisely because of its hundreds of years of history that it is priced at three thousand yuan.

"Fifth Ancestor, I know what you said, but isn't this different from what we buy from outsiders? Outsiders buy it and it's just an old item, but this is our ancestor's tablet! A statue of someone else's ancestor costs me 100,000, and it's a friendly price. Our ancestor was as powerful as that person back then, so the price can't be lower than that person's now."

"If the amount is too low, please come back. It's not that I want my ancestors to help me, but that I am being accused of being unfilial."

Zhao Shi also advised.

The reason they offer this price is not because they are stupid and have a lot of money.

First, to let others know that his family is not short of money. This is the way the world is now. If you have money, you can be strong. He wants his parents to be able to hold their heads up high in the village.

Second, shut up the villagers. The tablet is not valuable, but it is the tablet of the ancestors after all. They know which one to choose between 100,000 yuan and the tablet of the ancestors.

With this price, there is no question of Zhao Shi taking advantage. Instead, it seems like he is using this as an excuse to give back to the clan.

This way, no one can gossip about it.

".Well..I'll get the people here first and you tell them later." Hearing what Zhao Shi said, the old man didn't know what to say.

Three thousand yuan?
The same general, it doesn’t matter what outsiders say, do you think less of your ancestors?
This made it impossible for him to say the words of persuasion he wanted to give.

Don’t you think it’s not worth it?

When he turns around and sees his ancestors, they will probably chop him to pieces with a knife.

Of course, he also saw that Zhao Shi was not short of money nowadays.

If you only had a few hundred thousand dollars in your hand, you wouldn't dare to say that.

"Go and find the heads of each family and tell them that I have something to discuss!" After hanging up the phone, the Fifth Ancestor gave instructions to his grandson.

"Eh!"

Zhao Guohui responded and walked outside.

The village committee is not far from his home. The Zhao family is the largest family in Zhao Jiayu, and the village chief and secretary are both members of the Zhao family. It is no problem for Zhao Guohui to use the loudspeaker.
