Looking at the incense slowly burning on the table, several middle-aged and young people standing in the square began to rise and fall in their hearts. They all knew that they had picked up the matter of splitting the money this time, and they didn't need to ask at all. From the eyes of these villagers around them, it can be seen that everyone else knows that they are the ones who took the lead in making trouble. There's no way to avoid this!

It's just that kowtowing in front of the ancestral tablet to admit their mistakes is undoubtedly a very humiliating thing for them. If they usually kowtow to their ancestors, it is out of respect, but today, they can't raise their heads to be human beings in front of the villagers. Therefore, the entire square of nearly 1,000 people became unusually quiet because of the words of the patriarch Wu Jiang.

Only the villagers who knew that the patriarch had no surname, and when they saw that these hesitant villagers were still unwilling to step forward, the elders of these villagers hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded: "You kid still go up and admit his mistake, it really makes the patriarch anxious, he will really eliminate your ancestral home when the time comes, and you won't have time to cry then." ”

As more and more people persuaded him, a villager in the crowd who was nearly forty years old finally stepped onto the desk, took the three pillars of incense from the village elder with a pale face, and respectfully kowtowed to the ancestral tablet nine times. After inserting the three pillars of incense, he walked back into the crowd without saying a word.

Although this period of time was less than a few minutes, the villagers who walked down felt uncomfortable and panicked, if it weren't for the fear of angering the patriarch again. It is estimated that after kowtowing, he ran home and thought about it behind closed doors!

There was a person who took the lead, and several villagers of different ages came forward to kowtow to their ancestors with a face of shame and admit their mistakes. Looking at these villagers who kowtowed to their ancestors and confessed their mistakes, Wu He didn't say anything, and he had a serious face from beginning to end. Because he knows that these people have today's experience, and he believes that he wants to be careful about the consequences if he tells right and wrong in the future.

In less than half a pillar of incense, the restless villagers in the village who made trouble for the sake of sharing the money this time basically all went up to kowtow and admit their mistakes. There is only one young man who has been idle in the village all the year round, and he does not pay attention to the persuasion of those around him.

On the contrary, he muttered in a low voice: "What age is it, and you are still engaged in this kind of feudal superstition." Lao Tzu's name has been filed with the Public Security Bureau, and no one can prevent Lao Tzu from being surnamed Wu. Why should I kowtow and apologize, I didn't say anything wrong, what can I do with that little money?

Those village cadres obviously don't want to give us the money, what's the use of making up such feudal superstitions. I won't go up, I'll see what they can do with me! ”

Regarding the small chaos surrounding the young people in the square, Wu Dao, who was at the front of the square, could not hear it very clearly. Although he has not been at home for long, he also knows that this is the most famous person in the village. Speaking of which, this young man is about the same age as Wu Dao, and he once studied with Wu Dao.

It's just that after I got to junior high school, I fooled around with a bunch of idle guys in town. According to what Wu Dao learned, this guy was arrested and sent to a prison in the provincial capital for two years for deliberately hurting people in his early years, and it took less than a year to be released.

Because this kid's parents are not alive, he lives with his only grandmother. was released from prison, didn't want to change his way to support his family, and always used being in prison to justify himself, and went to the town twice a day to find those fox friends and dogs. This time, I heard that the village committee contracted Shuangshengling out and got 150,000 yuan.

He came up with the idea of dividing the money, took the initiative to win over those villagers who were also in a bad situation at home, pressured the village cadres to divide the money, and also deliberately proposed to divide the money by household. So that he and his grandmother, who depend on each other, can get an extra share of money.

After all, he still lives in his own house, but he usually eats with his grandmother when he eats. According to the rules of the village, he can indeed be counted as a family.

Wu He, the patriarch who had been looking at the situation below, did not speak until the incense inserted on the table was half burned in the face of this junior who was hated by the villagers of Sandaogou.

Only then did he get up from the Taishi's chair again and said, "You can realize your mistakes and prove that you are still saved, and I will also speak my word and will no longer hold you accountable for your faults." But I know that there are still some of you who have not come forward to admit their mistakes. Since you think it's right, then you stand up and talk about why you think it's reasonable to share the money.

Everyone accepted the reason for saying it, and I assumed that nothing had happened. If the reason for saying it can't be agreed by everyone, then don't blame me for removing your ancestral home from your ancestors in front of your ancestors.

Wu Xiaolong, as far as I know, you should be the first person in the village to ask for a penny, right? Since you think you're right, then come up and tell your reasons in front of the big guys. Usually if you don't clean yourself, I will turn a blind eye for the sake of everyone who belongs to the same clan.

But you shouldn't bring this bad habit to the village, if you can't give a reason today, you won't be a descendant of my Wu family from today on. Even if you die outside, don't expect to enter the ancestral tomb mountain. ”

Wu Xiaolong, who was named in public, felt that his face was hot, but at the same time, he still looked extremely arrogant and said: "What age is it, and you still put on this kind of patriarch's style, you must know that it is now a Ming Cook society, and your set is outdated." Let's just say, what am I, Wu Xiaolong, afraid of. ”

In front of the patriarch and many people in the village, this guy was unashamedly sarcastic. When he stood in front of the desk, he looked at the contemptuous eyes of the villagers below, and said proudly: "As a member of Sandaogou Village, the contracting fee of Shuangshanling belongs to public property, and I have the right to take my share of the money." Last time, Wu Daojia contracted the sand and gravel beach and fish pond, and the 75,000 yuan should also have a share of my family.

But apart from posting some expenditure figures, the village committee spent the money cleanly, and I am not convinced. I don't care if there is anything to do in the village for this contract, I will get my share of the money. Even if there is a lawsuit, I am justified, because this money should have been distributed to me. The reason is as simple as that, no matter how big your family law is, it can't be bigger than the national law! ”

In the face of this guy's greedy face, the villagers standing below were undoubtedly angry and contemptuous, especially the five-guarantee households and lonely old people who received a lot of subsidies last time, and their faces were even more angry when they faced this guy. As for Grandma Wu Xiaolong, who was standing below, she was even more angry and cried and told sad words such as 'unfortunate family'.

Seeing that this guy was talking about the law of the country, Wu He also knew that his words were polite, but it undoubtedly highlighted that he really did not regard himself as a member of the Wu clan in Sandaogou.

Wu He, who realized this, said directly: "Xiaobing, read the money spent on the last contract fee to the villagers one by one." In the presence of your ancestors, you swear that if you have a false word, you will never have peace. Do you dare? ”

Knowing the money last time, Wu Bing, who was indeed not greedy at all for these village cadres, was also angry with Wu Xiaolong's distrust just now. Take out the expense records placed in the ancestral hall and read them to the villagers below. In particular, the money distributed to the families of the martyrs of the Wubao household was confirmed by these villagers in person.

When the villagers felt that Wu Xiaolong was a little inhuman, the 75,000 yuan last time, of which 2,000 yuan was also given to his grandmother. Because Wu Xiaolong's grandmother is also a lonely old man in Sandaogou Village. Even Wu Xiaolong's grandmother couldn't help but stand up and testify, which made Wu Xiaolong feel more and more angry.

After reporting these village expenses, Wu He ignored Wu Xiaolong, whose face was purple, and walked to the steps of the square and said, "After listening to the words of the little soldiers, will you still think that they, the family members in the village, have been greedy for this money?" In the past, the village was poor, and there was nothing except the little life-saving money allocated by the county. Because of the road problems in our village, there is no other way to get money.

Finally, the son of Wu Dong's family went back to the village to do some practical things, and out of his feelings for the village, he contracted the sand and gravel beach that no one asked about for many years, and those broken fish ponds. 5,000 yuan a year, which of you is willing?

Let's not talk about this for the time being, just take the Shuangshengling contracted by Wu Lin this time, 3,000 yuan a year, who wants to package it now. After paying the money to the village committee, I persuaded Wu Lin to return the contract. Which of you will? People do things according to the rules out of public intentions, and the contractors are all useless barren mountains and wasteland in the village, but what they take out is the red tickets that are not in arrears at all.

You ask yourself, the Wu Dong family is kind enough to the village, right? But you don't want to find a way to make money, just stare at the public money of the village in front of you, are you embarrassed to say that you are an old man? I'm blushing for you! ”

Listening to the patriarch's reprimand, the villagers present also felt that their faces were hot. Indeed, after Wu Dao came back, he did everything very fairly, and even many times, for the sake of the people in the same village, he paid a little more. Take this contract fee as an example, Wu Lin only needs to pay for ten years, and then pay another fee in the future.

Knowing that there was no public income in the village, Wu Dao paid the rent for fifty years at a time. As a result, the money was taken out, but the villagers of Sandaogou Village were really red and shouted for a share of the money. Compared with the practice of Wu Dao's family, this practice is indeed a bit humiliating.

Facing the shame of the villagers in the square, the old patriarch said: "I am very pleased that the previous juniors can repent, which proves that at least you still regard yourself as a person from Sandaogou Village and a descendant of the Wu family." But Wu Xiaolong, you still haven't repented, and you are ashamed to say that the law of the country is greater than the law of the family.

That's okay, then from today, in the name of the contemporary patriarch of the Wu family, I will remove your ancestral home and cancel your qualification to enter the ancestral grave. For the sake of your dead parents, my family's share of the money I will let the soldiers share with you now. With this money, you roll as far as you can. You don't deserve to live in these three ditch villages!

Anyway, your conscience has already let the dog eat it, this grandmother was raised in our village, and she will give him a pension in the village for a hundred years. Don't say that I'm dictatorial, I'm going to be domineering today, and see if in this Sandaogou Village, is your national law easy to use, or my family law is easy to use! ”

As Wu He announced this patriarch order without panting, Wu Xiaolong was really a little dumbfounded. In the past, he had always thought that it was not a big deal for this patriarch to die from dying, but today he finally understood that this patriarch really made him feel aggrieved and panicked!
