Wu Mingyi, who was on the side, heard the surprise in the old man's tone, and couldn't help asking: "Sixth uncle, when I was a child, I heard the old people in the village say that Lin Sheng and his grandfather went when he was haunted, and Lin Sheng and his father seem to have grown up eating the village's hundred family meals. Is this true? ”

The sixth uncle held the old genealogy and looked at Wu Zhongkun's name on it for a while, and after a while, he slowly put it down, rested it on the coffee table next to him, sighed lightly, looked up at Wu Mingyi and said, "This is right." ”

"But there are some things that you juniors don't understand. Speaking of which, the whole village in our village has to be grateful to Uncle Tiger, that is, Lin Sheng's grandfather. ”

"If it weren't for Lin Sheng and his grandfather who saved the whole village, I'm afraid that few people in our entire village would survive under the guns of the little devils......"

Speaking of this, the old man sighed a little unhappily: "Do you know why I lost my temper so much when the village assembly asked everyone to donate money to Lin Sheng's family last time?" ”

Hearing that the sixth uncle suddenly diverged into other things, Wu Mingyi was quite puzzled, and immediately asked, "Sixth uncle, if you have anything to say, just say it directly." There's no one else here. ”

"To be honest, the last time I saw you make such a big fire at the village meeting, I was still a little puzzled in my heart."

Although Wu Mingyi was also very curious about the 'Tiger Uncle' mentioned by the sixth uncle just now, that is, Lin Sheng's grandfather saved the whole village under the gun of the little devil.

However, now that the sixth uncle mentioned the matter of the village meeting donating money to Lin Sheng's family the year before last, he also wanted to understand what the situation was.

The sixth uncle said fairly: "I, a bad old man who has been half-cut into the ground, has some things that I don't need to say. But I really want to say it now, after the old people in this village have gone one by one, you juniors are all a little bit unpleasant, and if you don't hear it well, it is ungrateful! ”

"And the other old stuff too. I forgot how Uncle Tiger saved their family back then. Now seeing that Lin Sheng's family is in trouble, they are all shrinking turtles, and no one is willing to come forward to help Lin Sheng's family. I won't even come out and say a fair word......"

Speaking of this stubble, the sixth uncle was obviously a little indignant.

"Our Shajing Village is such a big village now, and no one in every family has a tight life. There are also many who are rich and expensive. However, let you donate some money to Lin Sheng's family. Anyway, he rescued the kid from Lin Sheng's family and left a piece of incense for Uncle Tiger. ”

"But you're good, all of them are thirty-fifty-one, two-hundred, and they still look reluctant. The money donated by the whole village plus one piece is less than 20,000 yuan, which is not enough for Lin Sheng's kid's medicine for a month. You're just telling Hanako to send it away. ”

"Don't think that when I'm old, my eyes are also dazzling and my ears are deaf, I know very well, you guys, many people eat a casual meal outside and play with women, and thousands of women go out without blinking their eyes."

"Let you donate some money to Lin Sheng's family. One by one, it is as if they are cutting your flesh with a knife and killing you. I don't want to think about it, if there was no Uncle Tiger back then, let alone you, even your grandfather and grandfather died under the little devil's gun one by one, where did you come from? ”

The old man was obviously angry at the mention of this, and his speech was also rambling and he couldn't finish it.

It's about feeling like that. The people in the village are not authentic, and they can't stand Uncle Tiger's family. This is not a pleasure in the heart.

In the past, I was holding it all the time, stuffing it in my heart, with nowhere to say or nowhere to vent. Now that I finally have the opportunity, I want to spit out the words that I have been holding in my heart for a long time.

For a lot of old things. With Wu Mingyi's age, it is naturally not much clearer.

Yes, at this moment, he didn't know what to say except for the sixth uncle's scolding. At the beginning, although the money he donated was the highest among the people in the village, it was only 1,000 yuan.

Someone else's. Most of them are thirty or fifty, one or two hundred, and those who can donate three or five hundred are rare. However, Wu Mingyi knew that the sixth uncle had donated all his old books at that time, which was more than 3,000 yuan.

His two sons were also forced by him to donate 1,000 yuan each. Even for this, he had a big quarrel with his two sons.

"Sixth uncle, you also know that I am not very old, and I don't know much about the old things when the village was haunted. You just said that Lin Sheng and his grandfather saved the whole village, what's going on, can you tell me about it? ”

Wu Mingyi was a little embarrassed, but he still asked.

The old man glanced at him, as if he had almost vented the call just now, and after sighing lightly, a trace of remembrance appeared on his face, and he said slowly: "When we were haunted, our village was plagued. You've probably heard a little bit about that. ”

"When the devil entered the village, it was really just a matter of seeing something and robbing something. Whoever has a woman and mother-in-law is even more miserable. In some nearby villages, how many good daughters and mothers-in-law have been ruined by the devils? Even the whole village was slaughtered by the devils. ”

"If there wasn't an Uncle Tiger in our village back then, it wouldn't be much better. I was only a teenager at the time. I saw with my own eyes that a small group of devils rushed into our village at that time, wanting to burn, kill and loot, and also arrest women everywhere and spoil them. ”

"Fortunately, Uncle Tiger made a move at that time, and one person was stunned and wiped out all the devils in that small team with his bare hands. Then he fled to the mountains with the whole village to take refuge......"

Speaking of this, the old man couldn't help but pause, and said with a slight sigh: "Speaking of Uncle Tiger, I admire it from the bottom of my heart. That's really tough. Do you know why I called Lin Sheng his grandfather 'Uncle Tiger'? That's because he killed a tiger with his own hands. ”

"At that time, Uncle Tiger was the hero of our village, and he was also the most capable person in the entire village, and he was a well-known name in the hundreds of miles away. At that time, all the children in the village liked to play behind Uncle Tiger and pestered him to learn his kung fu. ”

"Sixth uncle, Lin Sheng and his grandfather are really that powerful?" Wu Mingyi couldn't help but interject and asked, a little surprised.

The old man glanced at him and said lightly, "That's nature!" The other old things in the village also knew about it. ”

"But, when I was a child, how did I hear that Lin Sheng's grandfather was beaten to death by a little devil?" Wu Mingyi asked curiously.

The old man glared and said, "Uncle Tiger is powerful. But after all, it is flesh and blood, where can it withstand the guns of the little devils? Back then, it was Uncle Tiger who killed a lot of little devils, so he provoked the wanted revenge of the little devils. ”

At that time, the devil brigade went into the mountains to search, and Uncle Tiger was worried that the place where the people in the village were hiding would be found by the devils, so he ran out to lure the devils away. Unexpectedly, in the end, Uncle Tiger had the ability to block the little devil's gun attack. Died under the guns of devils. ”

"Otherwise, why did you grow up eating hundreds of meals in the village when you were Lin Sheng's father? At that time, the whole village owed Uncle Tiger affection, so he would rather be hungry than leave a bite to eat for Lin Sheng's father. Can't let Uncle Tiger's heir incense be cut off. ”

"How can it be like you juniors now, all of them are watching Lin Sheng's family suffer, and they refuse to reach out to help, asking you to donate some money, it's like killing you with a knife......"

The sixth uncle said, glaring at Wu Mingyi angrily.

Although Wu Mingyi is now the 'richest man' in Shajing Village, he also donated 1,000 yuan to Wu Linsheng's family, which is one of the highest people in the village.

But the old man knew it well. A mere 1,000 yuan is not even a drop in the bucket for Wu Mingyi's net worth. For Wu Linsheng's family, it is only a drop in the bucket.

Therefore, speaking of these now, he will inevitably be angry in his heart.

In the face of the accusations and sarcasm of the sixth uncle, Wu Mingyi could only be embarrassed and said, "Isn't it that I don't know these old things." Besides, Uncle Six, you should also know that the amount of donations at that time did not mean that I could come as I wanted. ”

"If I don't live in this village anymore, I don't have to worry about anything. But I also have to live in the village every day. If I donate more, then no one else is allowed to say behind my back that I have money. Showy gossip or something. When the time comes, I'll be hard to be a human being......"

It's a common thing in the village.

As for Wu Mingyi and a few other people who donated 1,000 yuan, it caused a lot of people to muttering behind their backs, saying that their family has money, of course, donate more, our family is poor, and if we don't have money, we can only donate 180.

This is only 1,000 yuan, if Wu Mingyi really donated 10,000 or 20,000 yuan at that time. Or more. Some other face-loving people are afraid that they will have to donate more, otherwise this will spread out, but it will not sound good.

For example, when people from other villages meet and say that Wu Mingyi in your village donated how many tens of thousands to Wu Linsheng's family, how much did you donate? Are those who want to save face embarrassed to say that they only donated a few tens or hundreds?

Although people near and far know that Wu Mingyi is the 'richest man' in Shajing Village. It's hard to compare. But Wu Mingyi donated tens of thousands, so why do you have to have a few thousand, right?

Otherwise, there are only one or two hundred, or even dozens of them, so what does it look like to say it?

If Wu Mingyi, as the richest man in Shajing Village, only donated a few hundred or one thousand, then others thought that the conditions were good, and it would be reasonable to donate three or two hundred.

Those who feel that their conditions are poor, or they can also be said to care less about their face, donating a few dozen yuan is also so-so. Don't say it too coldly.

In the final analysis, Wu Mingyi is equivalent to a benchmark erected there.

If he donates a lot, then others have to follow suit and compare their net worth with Wu Mingyi, and then increase the donation so that it will not make people laugh.

But if he really donates too much, and others donate some more money for the sake of face, he will have to be unhappy with Wu Mingyi.

Such rules are common in the village, and even in many other places.

The sixth uncle is not a person who doesn't know this. After he donated more than 3,000 yuan by himself, he was muttered behind his back by the people in the village.

On the surface, people are touting him for being rich and atmospheric, but in fact, they are clearly satirizing him for being 'so tall', showing off, and pretending to be fat.

It's just that he has a generation, and few people really dare to chew the root of his tongue in front of him and say those sour words.

It's just that the old people are not blind and don't recite it, and some gossip can naturally be seen and heard. Although it is pretending to be nothing, this is not so good in my heart. (To be continued.) )
