rebirth of cataclysm

"Little baby, what do you want us to do to get us to go down and worship the sacred tree? Can I give you one dollar? You can buy a lot of things with one dollar. Today is a busy day, so you can go out to the street to eat jelly." Hu Mingchen just thought that he was looking blank.

, the other party is really sensible.

The other party thought that one dollar could be used to bribe the three Hu Mingchen siblings to give in. If this dollar had been given to others, or to Hu Mingchen before his rebirth, it would indeed be enough, and could even smash him into pieces.

But now, how could Hu Mingchen look at one dollar and treat him like a beggar?

"One dollar? Hum, we are not beggars, how can we do it for one dollar?" Hu Mingchen resolutely refused.

As soon as he heard Hu Mingchen's tone, the other party realized that this guy didn't say anything to death, he just thought that the money was too little. In this case, there was still some room for negotiation.

"Then how much do you want? How about one dollar and a half? You three sisters each have five cents." Since there is still room, the other party will try to increase the price.

"No, no, no, $1.50, I won't even look at it." Hu Mingchen didn't even hesitate, he shook his head and refused.

Hu Mingchen didn't see it. When the other party offered a dollar, both his sister Hu Yujiao and his sister Hu Yandie's eyes shone brightly. They didn't expect that they would actually get the money after just digging a few times with a hoe.

Although Hu Mingchen said before that he would use this method to knock out a sum of money to start a business, Hu Yandie and Hu Yujiao were not so convinced that it would be successful. They even thought that one dollar and a half was not bad, and they should just accept it as soon as possible.

Hu Mingchen's tone of rejection made the other party choke deeply. Not only did he not want it, he didn't even look at it. For one dollar and a half, you can buy two kilograms of good rice.

"Then tell me, how much should it be?" The boss of the Luo family simply crossed his hands and asked.

"Forty yuan." Hu Mingchen stretched out four fingers and said.

The figure given by Hu Mingchen shocked everyone present. In the city, forty yuan is nothing, which is about the same price as buying a pair of pants. But in the countryside, especially in the remote and poor Du

Forty yuan is not a small sum of money in Gexiang. When Jiang Yucai went to carry coal for others, his wages for three days were only forty-one yuan.

"You're stealing money, forty yuan. Your land is full of things to sell, so it's hard to sell it for forty yuan. If you don't give it, it's like a lion's mouth. Why don't you eat up the sky in one bite?" Just now?

The woman was so angry that Hu Mingchen jumped up.

"The main thing today is to eat so that you don't feel hungry, and you also need it to light up, otherwise, I might eat. We all know the purpose of worshiping the sacred tree. Look, you are fragrant again."

, it’s paper money, it’s candles, it’s a rooster, and by the way, it’s also a suona craftsman. Could it be that these costs are cheaper? Is it less than forty yuan? Oh, you spend so much money to worship the sacred tree.

, I wish the elderly to go to heaven well, and the family full of children and grandchildren to be happy, why can't we give some to our master's family? Why should my family take care of the sacred tree and sacrifice the land to achieve the good of your family? Compared with the elderly to go to heaven, wish the family full of children and grandchildren to be happy.

"Forty dollars doesn't mean anything to you." Hu Mingchen is indeed a glib talker, and what he said is really clear and logical. If you think about it carefully, it is somewhat true.

But from an objective point of view, the asking price of forty yuan is indeed too much.

"Young man, forty yuan is indeed too much. We don't have forty yuan," said the eldest son of the Luo family.

"Young man, it's not okay for you to use the sacred tree to ask for money like this. You are blaspheming the sacred tree. If the sacred tree gets angry, your family will be in trouble. You can't be like this as a human being. This sacred tree grows on your property.

In theory, your family is blessed, so how can you ask for money from others? You didn't want it before, so why do you want it now? Amitabha, it's not good to offend the sacred tree." The gentleman couldn't stand it anymore and stood up.

He pretended to be a magic stick to scare Hu Mingchen.

Hu Mingchen just snorted coldly at the gentleman who was eating this bowl of rice. You are just a magic stick. Why are you playing with Amitabha? Do you think you are a monk and a believer in Buddhism?

"Brother Luo, there are so many things to worry about. Please pray quickly. After praying, leave immediately without taking any money. Let's see what he can do. Really, I haven't heard of the principle of asking for money when you come to worship the sacred tree."

Seeing that Hu Mingchen was not getting enough food and salt, the young man from Luo simply said to him.

In his opinion, how could three little children stand in the way of adults like them? Moreover, he was worried that if he really gave them forty yuan, then their wages would probably be paid on credit.

The boss of the Luo family was moved by this proposal. He really didn't know how to take the forty yuan. To put it bluntly, he couldn't take it out now. The old man in the family passed away and there were already plenty of places to spend money. If we lose another forty yuan,

block, then it will be even more stretched.

"Okay, little doll, don't block me. We'll leave after a few minutes of worship." With that, the boss of the Luo family jumped down from the road.

"I think you dare to step over me if you have the ability." Hu Mingchen was heartbroken and fell down in front of him.

According to Hu Mingchen's previous arrangements, Hu Yandie and Hu Yujiao should also take action at this time.

But it's the same thing. At this juncture, Hu Yandie and Hu Yujiao really can't do it.

"Sister, Xiaojiao, what are you doing standing there stupidly? Move! People are unreasonable and want to bully others." Hu Mingchen squinted and saw that Hu Yandie and Hu Yujiao did not do what he said, and Hu Mingchen shouted anxiously.

"Oh, oh, you are not allowed to come into my house. If you don't go out, we will call someone." Hu Yandie became excited and started to move.

However, Hu Yandie did not block other people's way like Hu Mingchen did. Instead, she pulled Hu Yujiao back, sat down under the sacred tree where paper and incense were burned, and blocked it with her body.

"Hu Mingchen, Hu Yandie, what are you going to do next?" Zhong Ying, who was in the room, opened the door and walked out, probably because he heard some movement here.

As soon as he came down, he saw Hu Mingchen lying on the ground, Hu Yandie and Hu Yujiao sitting under the sacred tree, and opposite them were a group of people who came to worship the sacred tree.

Zhong Ying's question was about Hu Mingchen and Hu Yandie, but his eyes were fixed on the boss of the Luo family.

"Grandma, they bully us and beat us, wuwuwu, these people are so hateful." Seeing Zhongying coming down, Hu Mingchen was the first to complain, and he also faked crying.

Hu Mingchen is quite experienced in pretending to cry. It doesn't matter if there are tears or not, as long as the voice and expression come out.

"Old man, there is nothing, nothing, absolutely nothing, how could we bully the little baby, let alone hit him." The eldest son of the Luo family hurriedly waved his hand to Zhong Ying and defended.

If this is misunderstood and it turns out to be bullying and beating of children, it will be difficult for him to deal with it later. Especially for the elderly. If you don't clear it up at the beginning, it will be more difficult to make it clear later. The elderly are more protective of their shortcomings.

"Then what are you doing? Why am I sleeping here?" Hu Mingchen said.

"Old man, we really didn't do anything to him. He slept on the ground by himself, and we didn't touch him." The boss of the Luo family quickly took a step back and said to Zhong Ying, who was already approaching.

Zhong Ying looked at Hu Mingchen and saw that there were no signs of injury on him, and then felt a little relieved. However, he still had a calm face with wrinkles starting to appear on his face.

"Then what are you doing? Where are you from?"

"Old man, we are the Luo family of Longjin Village. The old man passed away yesterday, so we came to worship the sacred tree today." The boss of the Luo family answered honestly.

"Longjin Village... Luo Family... Do you recognize Luo Jincai?" Zhong Ying asked thoughtfully.

"Oh, old man, you know my family. Luo Jincai is my father, I am the boss Luo Yong, and this is my sister Luo Yan. My father came back from the mountain yesterday and had a high fever and foamed at the mouth. He was not even sent to the hospital.

.....”

"Hey, Luo Jincai turned out to be your father, and he left so early. More than ten years ago, he came to my house. He knew carpentry and helped me build a table and some chairs. It's really unexpected." Zhong

Ying recalled.

"Yes, yes. In those years, my father often did carpentry work for others. Later, when his health became bad, he seldom did it. Old man, since our two families know each other, you see...he went to his home, and we

Children, please come and worship the sacred tree and pray for him. Is this your old man’s grandson? They blocked us from worshiping..." Since he can get into friendship, how can Luo Yong let this pass easily?

Opportunity.

"Xiaochen, why are you blocking people from worshiping the sacred tree? Hu Yandie, Hu Yujiao, you two girls are serious, why are you causing trouble?" Sure enough, when she met someone she knew, Zhong Ying's attitude changed.

Variety.

Rural people are honest, kind, and affectionate. Besides, Zhong Ying actually knows Luo Jincai, so he won't do things that make people criticize him or poke his back behind his back. Reputation is very important for folks in this country.

When grandma said this, their attitudes were not so firm, and they also had a sense of fear towards grandma. Hu Yandie and Hu Yujiao lowered their heads and stood up from the ground.

Hu Mingchen became anxious when he saw that grandma's arrival was not only unhelpful, but also had the opposite effect.

"Grandma, I didn't say not to let them worship the sacred tree, but they can't step on my land. As long as they don't step on my land, they can worship however they want, and we can't control it." Hu Mingchen pretended to wipe his tears.

, then turned over and climbed up to sit on the ground, and said reluctantly.

In his heart, Hu Mingchen didn't want to make things too difficult for others. He also knew that doing so would not be good for the Hu family's reputation. But he had no choice. His family was so poor, and he wanted to do some business but had no capital, so he didn't want to make any noise.

If you follow a crooked approach, you won't get off the ground at all.

"If you don't come to the fields, how can you worship the sacred tree? Are you doing it perfunctorily from a distance? Isn't this a deliberate attempt to make things difficult? We are all from Duge Township. You can see the other slopes from this mountain, so why bother?"

Luo Luoyan said with contempt and teasing.
