Chapter 120

"The village and the clan have already contributed money, why should we pay?!"

"A hundred pennies is too much, isn't it?"

"Why do you even count little dolls?"

"Isn't the money from the clan equivalent to ours? Don't those with the three major surnames need to pay head money?"

One question after another, one protest after another, drowned out Li Zheng's voice.Lizheng had to beat the gong vigorously, and there was a sound of "bang bang bang", which calmed down the villagers.

He didn't explain much, and shouted: "Okay, there is no head fee, and then you can't participate in the dojo, and don't blame me if something happens in the future!"

Now no one is talking, even if they are whispering.

Four people died one after another, who is not afraid?If Li Zheng hadn't called a meeting, no one in the village would go out during the day.I'm afraid that I will be the next ghost.One hundred pennies is one hundred pennies, buy a safe, buy a rest assured!
"Pay the head fee to me within three days. Remember, those who have paid the head fee will start the ceremony on the seventh day of the lunar new year. Three days before the ceremony, everyone must fast. You can't kill, eat meat, or have intercourse..."

Hearing "no intercourse", the villagers burst into laughter again.

Rong Zhuxue's face was blushing!

"Don't laugh, you have violated the precepts, and there is no effect in participating in rituals. Sometimes you will cry!"

"Understood! No, yes, same room!" Several young men shouted at the same time.

Li Zheng glared at those young people and continued: "Those who cook vegetarian dishes, those who have vacant rooms at home to borrow, those who understand the process of Buddhist affairs, and those who can do carpentry, build tables, and build altars, are willing to If you come to help and make more merits, please register with me..."

After the meeting, Fu Quan dragged him to the second room, and told him his plan solemnly.

"I plan to draw a piece of land with Lizheng to build Fu's ancestral hall!"

"?"

Fu Shi remembered that when he told Fu Quan that he had made 1 taels by selling the prescription, Fu Quan had said this.He didn't agree to it at the time, and Fu Quan also understood his "difficulties", so why did he bring this up again?

"Our Fu family has been in Rongshu Village for decades. Apart from the three major surnames, our Fu family has the most." Fu Quan excitedly patted the table: "Rongshu Village can definitely have four major surnames!"

As a person with no sense of clan, Fu Shi has no interest in this at all. When he was in trouble when he was a child, he never saw other people surnamed Fu come out to help and say a word, and some people even clamored to drive him out of Rongshu Village. So as not to harm all the Fu clan.Fortunately, the Fu family has no ancestral hall, patriarch, or ancestral order, otherwise, once the ancestral meeting is held, he still doesn't know where it is now!Doing these things is digging a hole to bury yourself!
However, this idea was brought up by his respected second uncle, and he couldn't think of any "good reason" for a while, just a reason that didn't seem so selfish and grudges to refute, so he could only say sullenly: "I think This is a big matter, we have to think about it carefully. We have some money, but this matter is not a matter of our family, other people have to pay, right? If they don't want to, we can't force them ? As far as the two of us are concerned, there is no need for any ancestral hall!"

"This is indeed a problem..." Fu Quan thought of Fu Chengye's attitude, and guessed that the others were not far behind. Convincing the tribe is the most important step.This matter is far-reaching!

Rong Zhuxue came back from the meeting and conveyed Lizheng's words to the women in the Great Wasteland. As soon as the words fell, Song Cuihua began to lament: "One hundred Wen per person?! It's over, today is nothing!"

"What are you in a hurry for? This money has to be paid out of business, anyway, you have no separate family and no private money!" He Tao said sharply.

Before Song Cuihua could speak, Li Caiyue said, "You don't know, the old lady in our family only has her grandson in her eyes..."

Although they didn't explain it clearly, He Tao and the others understood what she meant. They were worried about Wu's refusal to give birth to Chunya and Chunni.

It's just that due to the presence of Chunya and Chunni, it's hard to speak too clearly, for fear that the child will have resentment towards grandma.The child is young, so it's easy to show what's on his mind. After all, there are still two old heads in the family, so if you offend them, you will suffer.

Seeing that the atmosphere was tense, Tang Wenmei took the initiative to stir up other topics.

Xu Sanniang also said: "I heard that this time we are going to invite the eminent monks from the Gaotang Temple to perform rituals, and they all say that the Bodhisattva there is amazing!"

Mrs. Miao said: "The Dharma meeting is held there every March. There are so many people that we can't even squeeze in!"

"Well, well, my mother took me there before I went out!" Xu Qiniang pulled out a red string from the inside of her clothes, and showed everyone the safety talisman hanging on it: "Then you see, this is the The peace talisman asked for there."

Xue Ya said: "I heard that you can also prepare the things you often use, and let the master over there consecrate it!"

"That's a good relationship, I have to prepare..." Fu Qiuyue nodded.

More than a dozen women, you said to each other, it was so lively, talking and laughing for a day passed.

It was before dinner, unlike Rong Dazhuang who went his own way yesterday, today the men from every family came to pick up their wives and go home.After seeing them off, He Taocai started having dinner with Fu Shi, Nianzu, and Nianzong, and exchanged ideas about what they had done during the day.

"Second uncle said to build an ancestral hall, and wanted to make our Fu family the fourth most common family name in Rongshu Village."

He Tao couldn't help laughing, this second uncle is quite ambitious!
Fu Shi asked her: "What do you think about this?"

"This one, it's good and bad!"

Such as Rongshu Village, there are not many villages with three surnames and dozens of households with other surnames. The rural areas of Daqi basically have one surname for each village.

A village is a big family, and the patriarch is the head of the big family, and usually also serves as Li Zheng.The villagers don't know who the emperor is, but they have to know who the patriarch is. They don't need to know Daqi's laws, but they have to be familiar with the clan rules.

The decisions made by the clan are unambiguous. Who to support and who to suppress are all matters of the clan.Such a village has a particularly strong cohesion, and is not afraid of being bullied by outsiders at all.

For example about Wang Qionghua, at that time she was suspected of killing her husband, but because her surname was Wang, the people in Wangjia Village said they wanted to protect her, and the He family couldn't take her away, so a large-scale fight broke out.In the end, it was Wang Qionghua who was willing to be taken back to the He family, and the people of Wangjia Village came to pick her up the next day when they heard that something happened to her in the He family.

In the same way, if someone like Widow Gao was in Wangjia Village, they would have already been buried in the pond just because of the gossip!
Also, if Fu Shi's situation happened in Wangjia Village, he would probably have been kicked out long ago to prevent him from harming the whole village.

The clan is not only the confidence and backing of the villagers outside, but also the sharp weapon and shackles that restrict them. It is not an exaggeration to say that the words are mixed.

"Yes, that's what I think, it's the second uncle who thinks it's good!" Fu Shi said sullenly, "We're actually pretty good now, why do we have to get everyone together? It's so troublesome." I won’t say more, maybe there will be more things in the future!”

He still broods over things from his childhood.

He Tao was worried about the future.

She and Fu Shi only have two daughters, Dongzhi and Dongye, who can tell whether they will have a son in the future.If there is an ancestral hall, what if the tribe wants their adoptive sons in the name of thinking about their afterlife?She doesn't want to give her "hard-earned hard-earned money" to outsiders for nothing!Even if it is a piece of grass, she will leave it to the person she wants to give it to!
Or, she later gave birth to many sons (He Tao sweated herself), and there happened to be another family in the clan who died, so what if the clan decided to adopt her son?Do they have to be separated just because others need it?Don't even dream about it!
It's not that she's being self-indulgent and suffering from delusions of persecution.

She just heard gossip about this in the past two days.

Carpenter Lin has been worrying about this matter recently.

Lin Carpenter and his wife only had one daughter, Lin Xia. The reason why the Lin clan didn't force them to adopt other people's sons was because they had stated their plans early on. The second type is that Lin Xia is married and has a second son named Lin who will be his heir and grandson.

The Lin clan accepted this plan, and they have been living in peace until the news that Lin Xia can't bear children came out, and the Lin clan began to force Carpenter Lin to choose an heir.

Lin carpenter is very skilled, and his family's wealth is considered top-notch in Rongshu Village. If the child is adopted, he will enjoy the blessings, which is what many people wish for.Xu Sanniang and Xu Qiniang's father-in-law and Lin Carpenter are cousins ​​of the same grandfather. He is also thinking about this idea, wanting to adopt his youngest son, 12-year-old Lin Dong, to Lin Carpenter.

It is said that Carpenter Lin has loosened his tone a bit.

The other one is that the Rong family wants to give Rong Lao Si a step-heir. No one in the family is willing, but as long as the clan finally decides who to send, whoever has to go.It is said that because of this, the Rong family was in trouble.Although there is support from the clan, the life of the four elder Rong's family is not a problem, but their family is too evil, the two older ones are fools, and the two younger ones died in vain, there must be a problem with Feng Shui!Sending the child there is to watch the child die, who would like it?

"Let's not get involved!" He Tao pouted, "It's fine for us to live our own lives!"

Fu Shi nodded: "I think so too, too many people are annoying to death!"

Both husband and wife were unwilling to rely on multiple shackles, so they happily reached an agreement. On how to reject Fu Quan, the two sides also reached an agreement tacitly - the old man is in a good mood, so don't pour cold water on him. Say it again!
