rebirth of cataclysm

"You can see that slope from this mountain, but that slope can't reach this mountain." Hu Mingchen said bluntly.

Hu Mingchen had made up his mind. If he couldn't get some money today, no one could worship the sacred tree in his property, not even his grandma.

To do this is really unkind and inconsistent with the local people's sophistication. In fact, it is very likely to be criticized by others, but he doesn't care about anything. It is not necessarily true to laugh at the poor but not at the prostitutes.

, but it echoes a logic of real society.

Rather than being so poor that he has to borrow money from everywhere and has no money to repay his debts, Hu Mingchen would rather suffer some damage to his image. Anyway, he is just a child now, it’s no big deal. An adult can cover up all his ugliness, while a child can only hide behind a small one.

He can be scolded a hundred times. As long as he is small, it seems that he can be forgiven for doing anything wrong.

"Who has eaten this mountain? Who has eaten this mountain? What can people eat in this mountain? Is it rice or fish?" Luo Deyan stood up, and she was so angry that she pretended to quarrel with Hu Mingchen

appearance.

"Yes, our mountain is poor, very poor. If we are so poor, then why are you here? Don't come, get out, get out, don't stand in my land." Hu Mingchen said as he tried to drive people away.

"Hu Mingchen, what are you doing? Do you think I don't exist? What do you sound like?" Zhong Ying stood beside him and shouted with a livid face.

Zhong Ying was not happy with Luo Deyan's contempt, but she was equally unhappy with Hu Mingchen treating her as nothing.

Zhong Ying had just said that she knew Luo Jincai and had expressed her support for him to pay homage to the sacred tree. However, now Hu Mingchen turned a deaf ear to his words and had no intention of following them, which made her feel embarrassed.

"Grandma, I didn't think you didn't exist. People said such unpleasant things. Why should I swallow it? No, no matter who it is, I'm not allowed to come to my house today unless you give me money."

Otherwise, there is no need to discuss it." Hu Mingchen said with a tilt of his head and a raised mouth.

Hu Mingchen's tone was tough and decisive, but the words "unless he gave me money" directly exposed his confidence.

"Give money...this...old man, you see...we have never heard of people who come to Huangni Village to worship the sacred tree and have to pay for it before. There are eight villages in ten miles.

, None of them have been mentioned..." Luo Deyong looked at Zhong Ying nervously and said.

Since there are adults around, Luo Luo Yong feels that he should communicate with the adults. He believes that as long as the adults agree, a child can't do anything.

What Luo Luo Yong said was nominally stating a fact, but his eyes and his tone were all a kind of squeeze on Zhong Ying. He meant to tell her that if they really collected money today, then their family

The reputation of these villages is really tarnished.

He didn't even think about it, could it be that now that Hu Mingchen has backed down, would this group of people still say good things about Hu Mingchen when they go back? He still doesn't know how today's incident will be arranged.

In a word, if Hu Mingchen retreats at this time, he will have neither fame nor fortune. He will turn into a snobby Zhu Bajie who looks in the mirror and turns into a bastard who falls in the eyes of money.

Zhong Ying didn't think so thoroughly. She only knew that for the sake of the Hu family's reputation, Hu Mingchen had to give in today. Otherwise, in this Duge Township, the Hu family might not be able to hold their head high.

"Hu Mingchen, get out of the way. Who made the rules about charging money for worshiping the sacred tree? I'm here today and I make the decision. I can't charge money. You get out of the way quickly, otherwise don't blame me for beating someone." Zhong Ying said angrily with a sullen face.

In the Hu family, Zhong Ying has always been strong, and she will never allow Hu Mingchen to challenge her authority.

"Grandma, you really can't be the master today. This is my family's land. It was assigned to my family ten years ago. No one has stipulated that I have to charge money for worshiping the sacred tree. However, if I come to my land, I will charge no money.

It's my family's decision. Even if you hit me, I won't let you go." Hu Mingchen was ready to fight. He straightened his chest, raised his neck, and said as if he was dead.

Hu Mingchen's "treason" really angered Zhong Ying. Without saying a word, she waved her hand and gave Hu Mingchen a big slap in the face.

But Hu Mingchen didn't avoid or dodge, and just let his grandma's hand slap him in the face.

How could a nine-year-old child withstand a slap from an adult? Half of Hu Mingchen's cheeks suddenly swelled up, and traces of blood flowed from the corners of his mouth.

In Hu Mingchen's memory, this was the first time that he was mercilessly dumped by his grandma. He had never done it before.

Hu Yandie and Hu Yujiao were shocked by grandma's "dominance" on the spot. They were afraid to come over to persuade her, but they were reluctant to leave.

Even Luo Luo Yong, who was standing next to him, did not expect that Zhong Ying would be beaten as soon as he asked, and his attack would not be light.

"Give back your land. Your land was also divided between me and your grandfather. Get out of here, get out of here." Seeing that his grandson's mouth was bleeding after being slapped by him, Zhong Ying actually trembled in his heart.

However, with so many people watching, no matter how much she felt sorry for her grandson, she would not let go of her face.

"As long as you don't take it back, then this land belongs to my family. Even if I want to take it back, I have to wait until my parents come back and talk to them. Anyway, this land belongs to my family now, and everyone knows it." Hu Mingchen frowned.

, said forcefully.

Although Hu Mingchen did not say "don't get out", his words and unwavering attitude had clearly revealed his intention and determination.

Zhong Ying didn't expect Hu Mingchen to say such words, and she was so angry that she couldn't stop even if she wanted to.

Angry, Zhong Ying raised her hand and slapped Hu Mingchen on the other side of his face.

The slap was not only crisp and clear, but also powerful. Hu Mingchen staggered and almost fell to the ground.

"Xiaochen, forget it, grandma, stop fighting, we won't accept it anymore..." Hu Yandie couldn't help it this time, and ran over to help Hu Mingchen while crying.

"Woooooo...Grandma, stop hitting my brother..." Hu Yujiao stood aside crying in fear and sadness.

"No, unless you kill me,...I will never agree." Hu Mingchen broke away from Hu Yandie's arm, took a step forward, and continued to stand in front of Zhong Ying and Luo Deyong.

Hu Mingchen, who was beaten, could not retreat. Otherwise, he would have been beaten in vain. He would not get any benefits, but would bring a bad reputation. The gain would not be worth the loss.

Zhong Ying never expected that Hu Mingchen would be so stubborn and tough with both sides of his face swollen and the corners of his mouth bleeding. This was extremely different from the Hu Mingchen he knew before.

In the past, Hu Mingchen would never dare to confront her like this. He would either admit his mistake or run away, but today, he seemed to be possessed by a demon.

"You unfilial grandson..." Zhong Ying raised his hand, pretending to give Hu Mingchen another hard slap.

Luo Luo Yong couldn't stand it anymore and hurriedly grabbed Zhong Ying.

It was impossible for Luo Mingchen to like Hu Mingchen, and he was even gloating and optimistic that Zhong Ying could teach him a lesson. Therefore, when Hu Mingchen received the first slap in the face, he was indifferent and even laughed secretly in his heart.

However, when Hu Mingchen received another slap in the face, he still stepped forward without fear, and his tone and eyes were so firm that Luo Mingchen could no longer remain indifferent.

The Luo family came to worship the sacred tree today for a good thing, hoping that the gods would protect them and pray for blessings and disaster relief. It would be very bad if there was a big fuss over this matter.

Regardless of whether they can succeed in worshiping the tree today, if the fight continues, the two families will be at odds with each other.

Even though Zhong Ying was trying to teach his grandson a lesson for the Luo family, if he didn't do it right, the debt would fall on the Luo family later.

In addition, it would be against the law to see blood in front of the sacred tree, and it would most likely greatly reduce the effectiveness of their worship today.

Although Luo Mingchen didn't like Hu Mingchen, he also somewhat admired him.

"Old man, don't fight, don't fight. It would be inappropriate if you fight for good or bad." Luo Yong grabbed Zhong Ying and persuaded him.

"I'm so angry. I'm so angry. I'll beat this unfilial grandson to death." Now that she doesn't have to take out her anger on Hu Mingchen, Zhong Ying's momentum is a little weaker, but in language he still half-pretends to give up.

.

The reason why Zhong Ying is only half-faking is that she is really angry with her other half, angry with Hu Mingchen's contradiction and rebellion.

"If you beat me to death, I won't let you, unless you give me money." Hu Mingchen said firmly.

"You...see if I don't beat you to death..." Zhong Ying, who couldn't stand Hu Mingchen's further provocation, was about to teach him a lesson again.

Luo Luo Yong still held her back: "Forget it, old man, don't fight, don't fight, our family just needs to pay some money, we will pay."

When Hu Mingchen heard that the Luo family was willing to pay, his face was still burning with pain, but he felt happy in his heart. It seemed that his painful drama was finally over.

Unbeknownst to others, Hu Mingchen deliberately angered Zhong Ying and beat himself up for money.

Hu Mingchen knew clearly that as long as Zhong Ying hit him, the money from the Luo family would be determined today, and the harder Zhong Ying beat him, the higher the chance that the Luo family would pay, and the larger the amount.

Unless the Luo family is willing not to worship the sacred tree today and go home alone.

Will the Luo family go home? Of course not.

His family invited people to come, which itself had to pay a cost. Moreover, since their family believed that the sacred tree had the power to protect them, they would not go back. Compared with the success of their ancestors and the safety, health, and wealth of their descendants,

What does it mean to spend more money?

What's more, wouldn't the Luo family lose face if they go back in such a disgrace without paying homage? Of course it's impossible, the Luo family would be equally embarrassed.

Therefore, no matter which angle you look at, as long as Hu Mingchen is cruel to himself and thick-skinned, he will definitely get the money.

Later, during a dispute, Luo Deyong paid 36 yuan to settle the right to worship the sacred tree.

The reason why they took thirty-six yuan was not because the Luo family couldn't afford more money, but because the gentleman they invited said that 4936 was a good year and gave various reasons for this.

Hu Mingchen didn't care about anything else. Thirty-six was just thirty-six. Finally, his hard work was not in vain.
