"You can see the slope of this mountain, but you can't eat it from that slope. Hu Mingchen stiffly replied.

Hu Mingchen has made up his mind, if he can't get some money today, no one can worship the sacred tree in his house, even if his grandmother is there.

To say that this is really a bit impersonal, not in line with the local people's sophistication, and even very likely to be criticized, but he doesn't care about anything. The phrase "laughing at poverty and not laughing at prostitution" is not necessarily true, but it echoes a logic of real society.

Compared with being poor and borrowing money everywhere, and being so poor that he has no money to repay his debts, Hu Mingchen would rather damage his image. He's just a kid now, anyway, it's not a big deal. Adults cover up all kinds of ugliness, and children are a little to avoid scolding. As long as it's small, it seems that anything wrong is forgivable.

"Who has eaten this mountain? Who has eaten this mountain? What can people eat in this mountain, is there rice or fish?" Luo Yan propped up her waist, and she was so angry that she made a look like she was going to quarrel with Hu Mingchen.

"Yes, we are poor in this mountain, very poor, and since we are so poor, what are you doing here? Don't come, go out, go out, don't stand in my land. Hu Mingchen said that he was going to drive people away.

"Hu Mingchen, what are you doing? When Lao Tzu doesn't exist? What do you look like? Zhong Ying stood next to him and shouted with a blue face.

Zhong Ying was very unhappy with Luo Yan's contempt, but she was also unhappy with Hu Mingchen's treating her old man as air like this.

Zhong Ying just said that she knew Luo Jincai, and she had already expressed her support for people to worship the sacred tree, but now Hu Mingchen took his words as a deaf ear and did not have the slightest intention to follow, which made her feel shameless.

"Grandma, I didn't have to be an old man, people are talking so ugly, why should I swallow my anger, no, no matter who it is, I am not allowed to come in my house today, unless I give money, otherwise I don't want to talk. Hu Mingchen pouted his head and said with his mouth cocked.

Hu Mingchen's tone was tough and categorical, but the words "unless you give money" directly exposed his confidence thoroughly.

"Give money...... This one...... Old man, you see...... We have never heard of people who come to Huangni Village to worship the sacred tree and have to give money, and none of them have mentioned it in ten miles and eight villages......" Luo Yong looked at Zhong Ying and said.

Since there are adults, Luo Yong feels that he should communicate with adults, and he believes that as long as the adults agree, a child will not be able to figure anything out.

What Luo Yong said was nominally stating a fact, but his eyes and tone were all a kind of squeeze on Zhong Ying. It means telling her that if they really collect the money today, then their family's reputation in this village will really be tarnished.

He didn't want to think about it, could it be that now that Hu Mingchen had retreated, would this group of people still say good things about Hu Mingchen when they went back? I don't know what kind of arrangement today's incident will be.

In a word, if Hu Mingchen retreats at this time, then he has no reputation and no profit, and he will become a snob who is not a snob inside and out, and will be turned into a bastard boy who falls into the eyes of money.

Zhong Ying didn't think so thoroughly, she only knew that for the sake of the reputation of the Hu family, Hu Mingchen, this kid, had to give in today, otherwise, in this Duge Township, their Hu family might not be able to raise their heads.

"Hu Mingchen, you get out of the way, who has set the rule to worship the god tree to collect money? I'm here today, I'm in charge, I can't collect money, you hurry up and get out of the way, otherwise don't blame me for beating people." Zhong Ying said angrily with a calm 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 do this lord today, this is my family's land, it was given to my family ten years ago, and no one has stipulated that the worship tree should collect money, but when you come to my family's land, it is my family's decision to collect money or not. Even if you hit me, I won't let me. Hu Mingchen was out of the way, his chest was straight, his neck was raised, and he said as if he were dead.

Hu Mingchen's "big rebellion" really angered Zhong Ying, she didn't say a word, and gave Hu Mingchen a big slap with a "snap" shake of her hand.

And Hu Mingchen didn't avoid or hide, he just let his grandmother's hand be pumped in his face.

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

In Hu Mingchen's memory, this is the first time he has been mercilessly slapped by his grandmother, which has never happened before.

Hu Yandie and Hu Yujiao were shocked by their grandmother's "domineering" on the spot, and they didn't dare to come over to persuade them, but they were unwilling to leave.

Even Luo Yong, who was next to him, didn't expect Zhong Ying to say that he would fight, and he didn't attack lightly.

"Return your family's land, your family's land is also shared among your family by me and your grandfather, get out of here, get out of the way. Seeing that her grandson was slapped by herself and the corners of her mouth were bleeding, Zhong Ying's heart actually trembled, but with so many people watching, no matter how distressed she was for her grandson, she would not let go of her face.

"As long as you don't get it back, then this land is mine, and even if you want to take it back, you have to wait for my parents to come back and talk to them. Anyway, this land is my house now, and everyone knows it. Hu Mingchen stiffened his neck and said stiffly.

Although Hu Mingchen did not say "no roll", his words and unwavering attitude have already revealed his meaning and determination.

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

Zhong Ying, who was annoyed, raised his hand and slapped Hu Mingchen on the other side of his face.

This slap not only had a crisp sound, but also a strong force, and Hu Mingchen was beaten to a stumbling ground and almost fell to the ground.

"Xiao Chen, forget it, grandma, don't fight, we won't accept ......it" This time Hu Yandie couldn't help it, and ran over to support Hu Mingchen crying.

"Woooooooooo......oo Grandma, don't beat my brother......" Hu Yujiao stood aside and cried in fear and sadness.

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

Hu Mingchen, who was beaten, couldn't retreat, otherwise, he would be beaten in vain, and he didn't get any benefits, but brought a bad reputation, and the gains outweighed the losses.

Zhong Ying couldn't have imagined that Hu Mingchen's face was swollen on both sides, and the corners of his mouth were bloodied, and he was still so stubborn and hard, which was extremely different from the Hu Mingchen he knew before.

In the past, Hu Mingchen would never dare to resist her old man like this, either admitting his mistake or running away, but today he is like an evil spirit.

"You are an unfilial grandson...... Zhong Ying raised his hand, and he was about to give Hu Mingchen a hard time.

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

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

However, when Hu Mingchen was slapped again, Ling Ran stepped forward, resolutely not afraid, and his tone and eyes were so firm, which made Luo Yong no longer indifferent.

The Luo family came to worship the sacred tree today for good deeds, to hope that the gods would protect them, and to pray for blessings and disasters. If you make a fuss because of this, it will be very bad.

Regardless of whether they can succeed in worshipping the tree today, if they continue to fight, the two families will be considered to be at odds.

Don't look at Zhong Ying as a lesson for their Luo family, but if you don't get it right, the account will be counted on the Luo family's head.

In addition, it should also be against the law to make blood in front of the sacred tree, and it is very likely that the effect of their worship today will be greatly reduced.

For Hu Mingchen, Luo Yong not only likes it, but also admires it a little.

"Old man, don't fight, don't fight, if you fight well, it's not appropriate. Luo Yong grabbed Zhong Ying and persuaded him.

"I'm angry, I'm angry, this unfilial grandson, I'll kill him. With the step that doesn't have to take Hu Mingchen to get angry, Zhong Ying's momentum is a little weaker, but in terms of language, he still half-pretends to be unkind and resigned.

The reason why Zhong Ying is only half-dressed is indeed that the other half is that she is really angry, angry at Hu Mingchen's confrontation and rebellion.

"Kill me, and I won't let it unless you give money. Hu Mingchen said unswervingly.

"You...... See if I don't kill you......" Zhong Ying, who couldn't stand Hu Mingchen's further provocation, saw that he was going to teach a lesson again.

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

As soon as he heard that the Luo family was willing to pay, Hu Mingchen, whose face was still hot and painful, was happy in his heart, and his bitter drama seemed to have been completed.

Others don't know that Hu Mingchen deliberately provoked Zhong Ying to beat himself for money.

Hu Mingchen knows one thing clearly, as long as Zhong Ying beats himself, then the Luo family's money will be paid today, and the harder Zhong Ying fights, the higher the probability of the Luo family paying, and the greater the amount of money.

Unless the Luo family is willing not to worship the sacred tree today, they will go home by themselves.

Will the Luo family go home? Of course not.

His family invited someone to come, which in itself had to pay the cost, and since their family believed that the sacred tree had the power to protect it, they would not go back, compared to the success of the ancestors and the safety and health of the descendants, they were rich and noble, and it was worth a little more money.

What's more, if the Luo family doesn't worship and goes back like this, won't they lose face? Of course it can't be, his Luo family is also very faceless.

Therefore, no matter from which angle, as long as Hu Mingchen is ruthless to himself and thick-skinned, he will definitely be able to get this money.

Later, in a period of entanglement, Luo Yong took out 36 yuan to settle the qualification right to worship the god tree.

The reason why they took thirty-six yuan was not that the Luo family couldn't come up with more money, but that the gentleman they invited said that forty-nine thirty-six was a good fortune, and they also gave various reasons for this.

Hu Mingchen doesn't care about anything else, thirty-six is thirty-six, and his hard work is not in vain.
