The most secure job in Dajin

Chapter 120, Loose

After lunch, the younger generations of the Hua family went to Hua Changxi's room, either to ask about their confusions in cultivation or to discuss what skills they should learn.

In the main hall, Mr. Hua frowned as he looked at Hua Minghe and Yao: "Nineth Lady has too many objections to the great family and the He family. You should persuade her more on weekdays."

"I know that Jiu Niang is capable now, and the family has benefited from her help, but life is short, and who can guarantee that they will always be in good fortune?"

"No matter what we do, we need to manage our relationships. If we fall into trouble one day, we can rely on the relationships we have maintained on a daily basis to help ourselves."

"Jiu Niang is too proud and stubborn. You can't let her do whatever she wants. You should know that being too stubborn will lead to failure."

Hua Minghe did not listen to Grandpa Hua this time. When he got married, he faced heavy pressure from the uncle's mansion and the clan. Although he gritted his teeth and endured it, the price he paid was that their family was marginalized by the clan for more than 20 years.

In the matter of Wu Niang, the family was unable to withstand the pressure from the clan, resulting in Wu Niang becoming a concubine of the He family, and she almost had an accident when giving birth to a child.

As a concubine, Wu Niang almost died in childbirth. The pain and suffering she endured were real, and perhaps they would also continue on to the child she gave birth to.

These things cannot be overcome.

"Father, Jiu Niang is not ignorant of the ways of the world. She has a hot temper, but she still knows her limits. As for Uncle Hua Tai and the He family, let her do what she wants. We should not interfere."

Hearing this, Old Man Hua, Old Mrs. Hua, Second Uncle Hua, Second Aunt Hua, and Fourth Uncle Hua in the main room were all stunned.

Even Yao didn't expect her husband to reject his father-in-law so bluntly.

Mr. Hua recovered from his shock, and then he became furious and said coldly: "Okay, you are capable now, my words are useless to you, right?"

Hua Minghe looked at Old Man Hua helplessly: "Father, what you say makes sense, I will definitely support you, but letting Wu Niang go to the He family as a concubine was wrong for the clan. Not to mention Jiu Niang, even I am very resentful in my heart."

After hearing this, Mr. Hua was not only not appeased, but became even angrier: "Are you still blaming me in your heart, blaming me for agreeing to the clan in the first place, blaming me for trying to curry favor with the clan?"

Hua Minghe felt that Mr. Hua was being unreasonable and was worried that if he said anything more, it would make him even angrier, so he kept silent.

Unexpectedly, his behavior made Mr. Hua think that he had acquiesced, and he stood up suddenly: "Who am I doing this for? Isn't it for this family?"

"Da Lang and his friends are growing up fast. Without the support of their clan, how can they survive in the capital?"

"Do you rely on yourself, a constable of the Six Gates, or on your second brother, a patrol officer of the Five Cities Military Department, or on your fourth brother, a jailer of the Ministry of Justice?"

"I racked my brains for this family, shamelessly flattering the elders of the clan, but now all I get in return is your blame. I might as well die."

Hua Minghe had a headache: "Dad, what are you talking about? When did I say I blame you?"

Mr. Hua: "You are blaming me. That's what you think in your heart."

Seeing that the old man's chest was heaving with anger, Old Lady Hua, Second Uncle Hua, and Fourth Uncle Hua hurried forward to persuade him.

Fourth Uncle Hua even stated: "Father, it was Liu and I who made the decision for Wu Niang to be a concubine of the He family. It has nothing to do with anyone else in the family. This is Wu Niang's fate, and no one else can be blamed."

Hua Minghe glanced at his fourth brother and said nothing.

Old Madam Hua raised her hand to chase them away: "Alright, stop standing here and go do what you need to do."

Hua Minghe knew that the old man was angry with him and didn't want to see him, so he followed the old lady's instructions and left the hall.

As soon as he left, Uncle Hua and the others followed him.

When only Mr. Hua and Mrs. Hua were left in the hall, Mrs. Hua spoke up, "You've overreacted just now."

Mr. Hua had calmed down and said obscurely, "The boss looks down on me as his father."

Old Madam Hua glanced at him and said, "Come on, stop talking nonsense. Of the three sons, the eldest is the most capable of taking on responsibilities. He is just a little too stubborn."

"But being strong is not a bad thing. He is a man of integrity."

Mr. Hua looked at Mrs. Hua dimly: "Do you also look down on me, a person who flatters others?"

Old Madam Hua rolled her eyes speechlessly: "You are getting more and more excited the more you talk. If I look down on you, how can I live with you for so long? Can I give birth to a child for you?"

Mr. Hua said a little aggrievedly: "But I am not strong enough."

Old Lady Hua: "You have no parents, but you can support yourself and your family, which is already tough enough. The eldest son was able to develop a tough character because you, as a father, stood in front of him and withstood all kinds of pressure."

After hearing this, Mr. Hua lowered his head.

Old Lady Hua sighed, "Let's not get too caught up in family matters in the future. We can't catch them. The eldest brother, his wife, Sanlang and Liulang have long been monks and have not revealed this to us. Have you forgotten?"

Mr. Hua did not respond, but just sighed deeply.

On the other side, in Hua Changxi's room.

Hua Changxi has reached the Nascent Soul stage, and her five senses have been elevated to several levels. She can hear clearly what everyone is saying in the main room.

She could understand Mr. Hua's frustration and distress at the moment. A big family like theirs could be considered a small company.

The old man is the CEO of the company, and everyone has to follow his instructions.

Now, as the CEO, he can no longer command his subordinates and may even have to step down from the position of CEO. He will have to hand over the company that he has built and is on the road to success to others. It would be strange if he is not upset.

"Jiu Niang, what are you thinking about? I've called you several times."

Hua Liulang stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Hua Changxi.

Hua Changxi smiled and said, "Nothing, what do you want me to do?"

Hua Liulang lowered his voice: "Didn't you just say you had something to tell me? What is it?"

Hua Changxi looked at him and said, "Didn't Fourth Brother say that the Bo's Mansion asked you and Third Brother to go over and practice with the people in the clan? Why didn't you and Third Brother go?"

Hua Liulang: "We are not stupid. We will be controlled if we go to the uncle's house. Of course, we should practice at home." After saying this, he lowered his voice again.

"The Bo's Mansion provides cultivation resources to the people in the clan, and they must get their money back later. My third brother and I don't want to be thugs for the Bo's Mansion."

Hua Changxi smiled and said, "As expected of my brother, he is so smart."

Hua Liulang smiled proudly: "Of course." Then, he stopped smiling and looked at Hua Changxi, "We can choose not to go to the Bo Mansion to practice, all thanks to you. If it weren't for the training resources you gave us, we would definitely have to bow down to the Bo Mansion."

"Jiu Niang, if you have anything to ask in the future, just tell me and Third Brother. We will go through fire and water for you."

Hua Changxi smiled: "I understand. I will definitely come to you if I have any problems. You are my family, and of course I hope you get better and better."

"However, cultivation cannot be achieved by working in isolation."

"Third brother has been working in the family's medicine shop since he was a child, and he often goes there to help out. I'm not worried about that. But it's you who stays at home all day and practices hard. That's absolutely not okay."

Hua Liulang didn't understand: "Why not? It's because I've practiced for a long time that my cultivation level is higher than that of my third brother. I think it's good to practice at home."

Hua Changxi shook her head: "The practice of a cultivator is not just about improving one's realm, but also about tempering one's character. How can you temper your character if you don't do things, don't interact with people, and don't go out to gain experience?" She didn't know this before, but she suddenly realized it when she advanced to the Nascent Soul stage and was bombarded by heavenly thunder.

Every bolt of heavenly thunder struck her with the power to kill her. She could endure the first few by head-on, but the ones after that really required a lot of mental strength to persevere.

If you retreat even a little during the tribulation, you will die from the thunder.

At the same time, she seemed to understand why the inner elixir would sometimes disappear when she was in the Jindan stage, but after the trip to the Five Finger Mountain, the inner elixir never disappeared again.

After returning from Wuzhi Mountain, she went back to the Medical Department. She encountered various things every day and dealt with people and things.

Only through doing things, dealing with people, and experiencing hardships can you temper your character and gradually know what you really want.

When you know clearly what you are doing, the inner elixir will stand firmly on the sea of ​​qi.

If you are restless and indecisive, your inner elixir will be unstable.

"Sixth brother, the higher your cultivation level, the more important your character becomes. If you don't pay attention to this, your cultivation level will either stagnate or you will suffer a serious blow in the future."

Seeing that Hua Changxi was serious, Hua Liulang hesitated: "Is it that serious?"

Hua Changxi nodded affirmatively: "When a Jindan cultivator advances to the Nascent Soul stage, he has to go through tribulations. Think about it, when all external objects can no longer provide you with help, what are you going to rely on to resist the thunder?"

Hua Liulang swallowed his saliva and said, "To improve my cultivation, I have to go through tribulations? Is the power of the heavenly thunder very strong?"

Hua Changxi: "Every bolt of lightning is coming to kill you. Do you think it is powerful?"

Hua Liulang was a little anxious: "Then what should I do? Go to Bo's house to practice? Or go to the medicine shop to help?"

Hua Changxi rolled his eyes at him and said, "I'm not telling you this to encourage you to seek medical help in a hurry. Do you still remember Sancha Medicine Valley?"

Hualiu Lang nodded: "Of course I remember."

Hua Changxi: "If you are willing, you can go there to practice in the future. I have a Fire Spirit Mine there, and the four You Lao are responsible for guarding it."

Hua Liulang took a deep breath, his eyes wide open like bells: "You have a fire spirit mine, is that true? You are not lying to me, are you?"

Hua Changxi was too lazy to waste time talking to him: "Just tell me whether you are going or not?"

Hua Liulang nodded rapidly: "I'll go."

Hua Changxi: "The four You Lao who are in charge of guarding the Fire Spirit Mine were all masters in the past. They have a lot of life experience and they all have their own little ideas about the distribution of the Fire Spirit Mine. When you go there, ask them for advice with an open mind. How much you can learn depends on your own ability."

Hua Liulang said seriously, "If you're not there, won't they be the ones to distribute the spirit stones from the Fire Spirit Mine?"

Hua Changxi: "So, I'll ask you to go over and help me watch over it."

Hua Liulang immediately looked serious: "Nine Lady, don't worry, I will definitely help you take good care of the Fire Spirit Mine."

Hua Changxi had an expression of "I believe you" on her face. She was not too worried about letting her sixth brother go to Sancha Medicine Valley to live with the four You brothers.

Although the spiritual veins of the four You brothers were shaped by taking the Fruit of Fortune, the techniques they practiced were very ordinary. Even though the Sixth Brother started practicing later than them, his cultivation was higher than theirs.

Sixth brother's strength is above that of the four old men You, so he won't be in any danger. At most, he will be jointly ostracized by them, which will be a good opportunity to temper his character.

Afterwards, Hua Changxi told Hua Liulang about the situation of the four You brothers. Hua Liulang listened carefully until Hua Changxi was pulled away by Hua Shier Niang to ask for advice on cultivation.

After dinner, Hua Changxi stayed at home for one night. Early the next morning, she returned to the Medical Department. Hua Liulang also left the Hua family with her.

Originally, he didn't need to rush so fast, but knowing that his sister's spiritual mine was guarded by outsiders, he was very worried and had to go and check it out in person to feel at ease.

The other people in the Hua family didn't know the reason, but they guessed that Hua Changxi must have told Hua Liulang something.

Mrs. Hua, who had just advised Mr. Hua yesterday, looked at Hua Minghe and Yao and couldn't help but said in a veiled way, "Why can't you speak openly about something? Jiu Niang is protecting her family."

Hua Minghe: "Mother, you are too worried. If you really wanted to protect your family, you wouldn't have told Liu Lang."

When Uncle Hua heard this, he said, "Nineth Lady is on guard against the Second and Fourth Houses. If there is anything good, she only thinks of the First House."

As soon as these words were spoken, before Hua Minghe and Yao could do anything, Old Lady Hua got angry first and threw the rag in her hand at Uncle Hua.

"Second brother, are you drunk so early in the morning? What are you talking about?" As he said this, he glared at Uncle Hua fiercely.

Although Hua Minghe and Yao were a little unhappy, they didn't say anything more when they saw that Old Lady Hua scolded Uncle Hua.

Old Lady Hua: "It's already daybreak, and you haven't gone to work yet. You're just standing at home, waiting for me to serve you."

After the three Hua Minghe brothers had left, Mrs. Hua entered the main hall and said to Mr. Hua, "The second son has only grown old but not smart over the years. He is just an idiot who knows nothing."

There were some things that she said to the old man that the people from the second and fourth rooms could not say, because if they did, the first room would really become alienated from them.

Mr. Hua looked at his wife and said, "Do you still think I'm too controlling? If I don't care, what will happen to the second and fourth sons' families?"

"The second child looks smart, but his cleverness is just a little trick. This little trick may make him miss the real opportunity."

"Old Four is too honest and keeps everything to himself."

"As parents, do we really not care about them?"

Mrs. Hua knew all this, and sighed, "The eldest son will definitely take care of his two younger brothers, but the children of the first wife."

Mr. Hua said quickly: "Da Lang is a good person. He is the future helmsman of our Hua family. He knows that family members must work together to grow and develop. He will not ignore the second and fourth rooms."

"Sanlang is quite obedient. He manages our pharmacy in an orderly manner."

"Liu Lang, if you explain the truth to him, he will still listen."

"As for Jiu Niang, she is a rebellious person. She only cares about herself when doing things. As for the people in the family, she only thinks about the first wife and has no sense of the overall situation."

"As for Shi Niang, she has been away from home for so many years, but she still took time out of her busy schedule to go home and give her family some elixirs. This shows that she has always had this family in her heart."

"We are a family with one mind and one strength. The general direction of rising and falling together remains unchanged. It's just that there is a new Jiu Niang, which is a variable."

Old Lady Hua said something fair: "You are too harsh on Jiu Niang. If there was no Jiu Niang, would those of us without spiritual veins in our family be able to start body training?"

"No matter how powerful Shi Niang is, she can't take out so many pills for everyone in our family to practice."

Mr. Hua: "I didn't deny Jiu Niang's contribution to the family. I just think her personality is too unpleasant. I don't know how she managed to get by in the Medical Department."

Old Madam Hua said quietly, "Nineth Lady was born with the wrong gender. If she were a boy, with her personality, she would definitely be able to do great things."

Mr. Hua: "But she is a young lady, and she will get married sooner or later. With her personality, do you think anyone would dare to marry her?"

After a pause, Mr. Hua looked at Mrs. Hua in confusion: "Didn't you look down on Jiu Niang's temper before? Why are you still speaking for her now?"

Old Madam Hua looked a little bewildered: "I can't really explain it. I still don't like Jiu Niang's personality, but seeing her living as freely as you men, I feel a little envious."
