Two Worlds: Beginning from Becoming an Ancestral Spirit

Chapter 54: Father Zhao's Speculation

"Uncle Wu, is it really one hundred thousand?" After a long while, someone reacted and asked.

The others were also confused.

Can't figure it out.

Is there a secret on this tablet that they don’t know about?

Otherwise, why spend so much money?

"You can talk to him about this matter yourself!" The Fifth Ancestor looked at these younger generations and felt speechless. After all, the family had been closed in this mountain valley for too long.

Zhao Guohui quickly dialed Zhao Shi’s cell phone.

"Uncle Hui, Uncle Hua, Uncle Qingshui, Uncle Dong." The video was connected, and Zhao Shi greeted all the elders present through the video.

When they saw Zhao, everyone showed a look of surprise.

Young and handsome.

This look would have been fine on Zhao Shi seventeen or eighteen years ago, but Zhao Shi, who had been in decline for nearly twenty years, had not changed at all.

Moreover, Zhao Shi now doesn't look like he is sick at all.

"Little boy, seeing that your dad and mom's persistence over the years has paid off, I'm so happy for them!" Someone sighed while looking at Zhao Shi in the video.

The same thing happened to everyone else.

When Zhao Shi was ill, someone tried to persuade his father and mother to have another child while they still could, but they refused. They sold their house and land, borrowed money, and spent everything they had to pay for Zhao Shi's medical treatment.

Now that I see Zhao Shi has recovered from his illness, I feel very emotional.

"Okay, it's getting dark soon, let's get down to business!" After a few sighs, Zhao Guohua interrupted them and looked at Zhao Shi in the video and said, "Xiao Shi, is what Master Wu said true? Are you prepared to spend 100,000 to get the tablet of the ancestor back?"

Where is Zhao Shi?
Hearing Zhao Guohua's question, he corrected him, "Uncle Hua, I'm not spending 100,000 to buy a tablet for the ancestor. I'm going to donate 100,000 to the clan's public account to thank the clan for taking care of our family over the years. What about me? I've been having nightmares in recent days, so I'm going to get a statue to worship. Someone recommended the statue of Guan Erye, but I think our ancestor was as good as anyone else in his life. Isn't it better to have our ancestor bless us than to get someone else's ancestor's statue?"

It is not easy to pay for a tablet for your ancestors.

Put this way, although it's still the same thing, it sounds much better to outsiders.

When the elders sitting in the yard heard what Zhao Shi said, their expressions looked much better.

indeed!

If Zhao Shi spent 100,000 to buy a tablet.

If they asked Zhao Shi to go home, then what was the difference between them and selling ancestral tablets? Although they were disciples of the same clan, their reputation would be bad.

These people looked at each other and nodded slightly.

It's considered agreed.

Zhao Shi has given them both the inside and the outside, so there is no need for him to be the bad guy.

If the descendants of the Zhao family really have to worship the ancestors of the Guan family, then they will be really embarrassed.

"Okay, we all agree to this!" Seeing everyone nodding, Zhao Guohua nodded in agreement for them.

"Okay, Uncle Guohua, I will transfer the money to the public account right away. Uncle Hui, please give the ancestor's tablet to my father and ask them to bring it back to me when they come back."

Zhao Shi thanked him, said something to Uncle Hui, and then hung up the phone.

It only took a dozen minutes.

Zhao Guohui's cell phone rang.

The money has arrived, one hundred and fifty thousand!
The public account of the Zhao family has always been managed by his grandfather. Now, every withdrawal of money in his name requires the consent of more than five heads of each branch of the clan.

Zhao Guohui showed the money and said, "My dear brothers and uncles, the money has arrived. I will go and deliver the tablet and the key to Seventh Brother's house to them!"

"Go!"

The Fifth Ancestor nodded, and naturally the others had no objections.

Zhao Guohui went out, and his wife prepared meals at home.

It is a tradition to hold a clan meeting and leave food for the guests.

"Seventh Brother, I'm looking for you!"

Zhao Guohui was about to go to the ancestral hall with Zhao Shi's family's homestead certificate when he met Zhao's father on the way and quickly greeted him.

Fifteen thousand is just like fifteen dollars.

It has to be said that the kid from the Seventh Brother's family has made great progress. Who would have thought that Zhao Shi, who had such a disease back then, has not only recovered from the disease, but has also become rich!
If Zhao Shi used the 100,000 yuan to buy a house or a car, he would not think so. Nowadays, even in their mountain village, there are people who spend hundreds of thousands of yuan to buy cars, and there are also people who buy houses in the city.

But donating to the clan is just for a tablet.
The feeling is different instantly.

Developed.
Zhao Shi became prosperous.
Therefore, after seeing Zhao's father, Zhao Guohui also became much more enthusiastic.

"Sixteenth brother, what do you want from me?" Father Zhao asked in confusion. "Seventh brother, this is the property deed of your house. I bought it for you when I was a kid. Oh, and there is also land. The seedlings have just been planted in the land. You must take care of them!"

Zhao Guohui said.

"What??"

Father Zhao looked confused.

Then, Zhao Guohui told his father what had just happened.

When he heard his son spending 150,000 yuan, he didn't know what to say.

However, he didn't say anything about these things, but was a little worried that his son would have nightmares.

Others thought Zhao Shi was just talking.

But don't forget that when he was talking to his son on the phone, he saw the despair in his son's eyes with his own eyes.

Therefore, I am very anxious.

Zhao Guohui handed the ancestral hall tablet and house deeds to the couple and left.

After Zhao Guohui left, Zhao's father and mother discussed it and decided to return to the city overnight.

Their son's nightmare really scared them.

They were afraid that their son would have a relapse.

I even secretly wondered, maybe my son wasn't hurt by love, but by a nightmare.

Father Zhao couldn't help but doubt.

He could clearly see the despair in Zhao Shi's eyes.

What kind of nightmare can make people despair?
Therefore, he did not dare to delay for even a moment and did not even bother to ask where his son got the money from.

The tablet must be returned to my son as soon as possible.

The term nightmare, as they call it, means being haunted by unclean things. This term is very popular in rural areas, and people would rather believe it than not.

And some things and phenomena are really hard to explain.

Zhao Shi knew nothing about what was happening in his hometown or what his parents thought.

He didn't even expect that not only did his parents come, but they also brought him a so-called big surprise.

When the matter was resolved, he left a message to his parents telling them what had happened, and then turned his attention to the other world.

Just now he gained another wave of incense power.

In another world, the Zhao family.

By this time the east was already turning white.

Dozens of people stood in the Zhao family's yard, offering sacrifices to Zhao Shi under the leadership of Lord Bao.

From the two incense burnings today, Zhao Shi barely harvested 200 strands. Although it was not a small amount, it was dozens less than yesterday. Zhao Shi knew that this was an inevitable result.

There have been no evil spirits invading these two days, so people have been much more relaxed when worshiping, and naturally not as pious.

If there are no evil spirits for ten days or so, or in other words, the evil spirits are eliminated by the Demon Suppression Bureau, the incense power harvested will be even less.

Zhao Shi had no way to deal with this.

The right thing to do is to find ways to expand the scale of sacrifice.

Dawn!

People left the Zhao family, some went to work, some went home to cook.
Life must go on no matter what.

That’s human resilience.

"Mrs. Zhao, the situation outside is not good recently. Take these incense sticks and don't buy any more for the time being." After everyone left, Mr. Bao took out the box of incense sticks and handed it to Jiang Ling'er and her daughter.

"Mr. Bao, no, this is too expensive," Jiang Linger quickly refused.

Need?
impossible!

She remembered her husband's words, "If someone is too nice to you for no reason, he is either a traitor or a thief!" Her family was not familiar with Master Bao to the point where he could just give him a hundred taels of silver.

Bao Ye was also a smart man, so he naturally knew why Jiang Linger didn't accept it. As a neighbor, he might accept a meal or some food, but who would dare to accept something worth at least a hundred taels? So he spoke again, "Don't worry, take it from the Zhao family. This is what I discussed with your husband. He invited me to become your family's offering. These incense sticks are the price for his protection in the future!"

"Really?" Jiang Ling'er frowned and asked Bao Ye suspiciously.

One has to doubt.

If her man really had this plan, there was no reason for him not to tell her yesterday.
