When Erniu arrived in Zhao's yard, Zhao's yard was very lively, He was also with Maomao, plus Hongxia and Hongyun and their children, the yard was full of people, Zhao saw Erniu coming, and he was still angry about what happened last time, so he didn't stand up, but Hongyun welcomed Erniu in. Erniu asked, "Dad, I came to him for something." ”

Hongyun called Father Lin out, and Erniu told him what he meant, and Zhao forgot to get angry after hearing Erniu's words, and said: "This patriarch has some power in his hands, and he is lawless, why do you want to pay so much money, I'll talk to him later, the ancestral hall was renovated a few years ago, why do you have to rebuild it, isn't this a waste of money?" ”

"Yes, this patriarch really has no rules, don't build the ancestral hall if you don't have money, I went to see it before, it's good, I don't see where it's missing, he wants to build it himself, and we have to pay so much money, he thinks that everyone is like their family, just receiving gifts a year is fat and oil." He also said angrily.

Zhao listened to He's words, and also said: "Yes, the patriarch is really a year to receive gifts, I'm afraid they are all young and old, you see that their family lives in a blue brick house, and the people in the family are also dressed like the people in the city, their family is just some land, how much money can be earned in a year, these must be all received gifts, I think, this patriarch has been a good person for so many years, it is good to change the patriarch, you can't let him occupy this good thing alone, even with their big family is better than others, All of their people's requests for land are drawn directly from the village. We're going to buy it again. ”

He listened to Zhao's words, and also nodded in agreement: "Yes, mother." Or let's go to the village and say that we want to elect the patriarch instead, and whoever we choose is better than him. ”

Erniu listened to the words of these two people, and was a little crying and laughing, he just came to build the ancestral hall and pay the money, and now they actually said that the patriarch was re-elected, if the patriarch heard. It's not good. Erniu said: "Mother, where did you go, it's not this time to re-elect the patriarch." Our family went to say that it was not very good, and people who didn't know thought that we were deliberately making trouble, so I just came to talk about building an ancestral hall. ”

"Dad, you see what to do. It's okay for me to pay more money to build an ancestral hall. But there must not be more than ten taels so much, it's a big deal that I add a share of money to pay two taels of silver, it will be regarded as support for building an ancestral hall, and there must be no more, you see? Erniu asked Daddy Lin, who didn't make a sound.

Before Father Lin could speak, Zhao over there shouted: "Erniu, two taels of silver are enough for us to chew for half a year, why are you doing this." If you want to spend on this, you might as well give it to me. Your family gives some money to your father, but your daughter-in-law is not happy, but your daughter-in-law doesn't talk about this money, just give a share of the money, he will build this ancestral hall if he wants, and if he doesn't build it, he won't do anything with us. ”

"Old woman, what are you talking about?" Father Lin scolded Zhao, and Zhao glanced at Erniu and didn't say much.

Father Lin said to Erniu, who was on the side: "Erniu, you don't care about this matter, I will go to the patriarch's house with your mother in the afternoon, but I want to ask what it means to ask your family to pay so much money." ”

Erniu listened to his father's words, nodded and said: "Dad, then you and your mother will go, I won't go, but this ancestral hall is a good thing in the village, I don't mean that I don't want to give a penny, and I am willing to donate two taels of silver, you just go and watch it." ”

Father Lin nodded, Erniu was going to go back, Hongyun saw Erniu go back, and also said that he would take the big cat to see the second sister-in-law, so he followed Erniu over.

In the afternoon, Father Lin and the Zhao family had dinner, so they took some things from home and went to the patriarch's house, and the patriarch saw them and welcomed them in warmly, and said: "This is all a brother in the village, what are you doing so politely, just come and sit in the first month, what else do you bring?" ”

Father Lin said with a smile: "I didn't come to the patriarch's house for the New Year, and there are many things in the New Year, so I have time to take a look today, some small things, I hope the patriarch won't be surprised." ”

The patriarch also casually said a few polite words, and when Father Lin saw that the patriarch didn't mention anything about building an ancestral hall with them, he asked himself: "Patriarch, I heard that an ancestral hall is going to be built in this village, when are you going to start construction?" ”

When the patriarch heard Father Lin mention this matter, he also smiled and said: "Now the money has not been collected, and as soon as the money is collected, the construction will start in the first month, and strive to build the ancestral hall as soon as possible, and the people in the village will have the heart to use the ancestral hall." ”

"It's a good thing to build an ancestral hall in the village, and I also heard what Erniu said, but I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money to build an ancestral hall, can the people in the village make up this money?" Daddy Lin asked.

"The money must not be able to make up so much, so I want your Erniu to donate some, in the past few years, your Erniu has really given our village a long face, and has become a big household in our village, thinking that you are here today to send money to Erniu?" The patriarch asked.

"Patriarch, this is a lot of silver, you want our family Erniu alone, what is this saying, why do you want our family Erniu to come out so much?" The Zhao clan was a little angry when they heard the patriarch's words.

"Sister-in-law, you can't talk like that, the people in this village have no money, and your family's two cows pay this money for the benefit of the people in the village. The patriarch also said with an ugly face.

"The developed people in this village are not only our Erniu family, why don't you go to other people to ask for it, just want our Erniu family to come out, you are watching our Erniu people bully, right?" Zhao's voice began to rise.

The patriarch listened to Zhao's words, and there were indeed some dodges in his eyes, and there were a few other people in the village who were slightly richer, but they were not as good at talking as Erniu's family, and he went there by himself, and he didn't even see anyone, and the girls in other people's families sent him away, but these things must not be said in front of the Zhao family: "Other rich people in this village must also be out, and I also went to ask for it." ”

"Oh, yes, there are a total of four rich families in this village plus the Xia landlord's family, if all of them are like our two cows for twenty taels of silver, plus so many people in our Xialinjia Village, is your ancestral hall inlaid with gold or silver, how much does it cost?" Zhao asked.

"This ......" the patriarch was a little speechless when questioned by the Zhao clan.

Father Lin saw that it was almost over, so he glanced at the Zhao family and said, "Patriarch, our old woman is such a hot temper, don't be weird." But then again, building an ancestral hall in this village is indeed a great thing, our family Erniu's family has been better in the past two years, and the money should be paid, but after all, this is the business of the big guy in the village, not his own business, and their family's money is not to open any gold and silver mines, and they can take out dozens of taels at once. In this way, in a few days, you will collect the money from several other rich families, how much they give, and our two cows will never return less, do you think this is good? (To be continued......)
