Chapter 12 Why should resources be cut?
The people who had daughters in the hall were not only Pei Xiangrong, Pei Jinfan and Pei Jinsheng wanted to cut off the cultivation resources given to the girl by the clan in one go, but more than half of them were clearly opposed.
"The boy's surname is Pei, and the girl's surname is Pei, so it's unfair to give boys resources and not to girls. ”
"There are quite a few girls who like to cultivate, and if they suddenly cut off the cultivation resources given to them, they may resent the clan favoritism boys. In the future, when they get married, they will not help our Pei family, but will unite with their husband's family to make trouble for the Pei family, how about you call Pei the family?"
"Didn't the second brother's daughter say that she didn't want to cultivate resources? she didn't want resources, so we praised her more, saying that she was dedicated to the good of the clan. Other girls are not as qualified as hers, and they will not be embarrassed to ask for resources. ”
"This is a good idea, those who have a daughter remember to mention the well-behaved and sensible Pei Ruxi to their daughter......"
The patriarch summed up in a deep voice: "Cutting cultivation resources is easy to provoke resentment, and it should not be done overnight. In this way, the resources allocated to girls will be cut by one-third this year and another one-third next year, and then the girls will adapt to it in the next year, and it will be okay not to give resources. ”
Pei Jinfan didn't expect to cut all the resources in one go, and said with a smile: "The girl's cultivation resources have been reduced, and the side branches should also be cut by one-third." After all, our descendants are the inheritors of the Pei family, with a noble status, which can be compared with the side branches, and should enjoy more resources than the side branches. ”
This time, Pei Jinsheng didn't agree, and said with a bad face: "I'm a side branch, do you mean that I don't deserve to sit here?"
Pei Jinfan glanced at Pei Xiangrong.
The other party's expression couldn't tell whether it was joy or anger, but when the side was brought up, Pei Jinfan felt that Pei Xiangrong must be unhappy.
He has always hated Pei Xiangrong, relying on his father's cultivation to be a little higher than Pei Xiangrong, and his father just crossed the patriarch to dispose of the patriarch's concubine, Pei Jinfan was full of courage.
He said arrogantly: "The second brother has been building the foundation for more than ten years now, and he has taken up so many cultivation resources every year, but his cultivation has not increased, can't the clan reduce the resources given to the second brother? I have been promoted to the twelfth layer of qi refining for seven or eight years, if the clan is willing to give me a foundation building pill, I will immediately become a foundation building monk!"
Pei Jinsheng is the eleventh layer of qi refining, but the ninth layer of qi refining can try to build a foundation, and he also wants to get a foundation building pill. Zhuji Dan is difficult to refine, very precious and rare, he was afraid that the clan would not give himself another Zhuji Dan after giving Pei Jinfan, so he immediately said: "Haven't you eaten Zhuji Dan? You ate one and failed to be promoted, is it useful to eat the second one?"
The two immediately argued.
The patriarch had a headache, Pei Xiangrong was silent, the sixth uncle closed his eyes and recuperated, and everyone was forced to listen to the quarrel.
In the end, out of consideration for appeasing the people of the Pei clan's side branches, the patriarch promised to give Pei Jinsheng a Zhuji Dan, on the condition that Pei Jinsheng could only eat it if he cultivated to the twelfth level of qi refining. Pei Jinfan is the son of the sixth uncle, and the patriarch resents the sixth uncle for driving away his beloved woman, and does not promise to build a foundation for Pei Jinfan, so that he can concentrate on cultivation for a few years.
Where can Pei Jinfan respond? He actually quarreled with the patriarch, arguing and arguing, saying that if the patriarch was not the only grandson of the old ancestor, it would not be the turn of the patriarch to be the patriarch of the Pei clan.
Patriarch Pei Jinlun's face was dark and calm, and he was about to show Pei Jinfan the power of the foundation building period.
"Bastard!"
The sixth uncle was already angry and shouted, raised his cane and hit Pei Jinfan, and reprimanded: "Kneel down!
What his father said, Pei Jinfan didn't dare to disobey.
Pei Xiangrong watched coldly.
The patriarch Pei Jinlun was apologized with a stomach full of anger, and sent a message to Pei Xiangrong: "Second brother, the old puppet connived at Pei Jinfan to bully him as a brother like this, and he hates his brother very much!"
Pei Xiangrong said: "Sixth Uncle cultivates to a high level, you and I are enemies, eldest brother, you have to be calmer." ”
Pei Jinlun's cheeks trembled with anger, he was the patriarch of the Pei clan in the end, and he didn't forget his duty, so he squeezed out a smile and asked everyone to discuss whether the resources given to the side branches should be reduced.
The crux of this discussion lies in Pei Xiangrong, Pei Jinlun and the sixth uncle agreed that Pei Xiangrong enjoyed the resources given to the elders by the clan, and Pei Xiangrong's side expenses were not important. Pei Xiangrong didn't say anything, Pei Jinsheng shut up because of Zhujidan, and the rest of the side branches lacked strength, and said that Pei Xiangrong kept the original resource allocation for the side branches, so he had to pinch his nose and admit the result:
From this year onwards, the cultivation resources of all side branches will be reduced to ninety percent of the original, and we will talk about whether to reduce them next year or not.
There is no way, the ancestor is a descendant, the patriarch is a descendant, and the sixth uncle is also a descendant. The side branch had to be promoted to the foundation building period by Pei Xiangrong alone, even if Pei Xiangrong clearly supported the side branch, the descendants would still try their best to cut the interests of the side branch.
Kick out the door of self-reliance?
It is not good to have a good time without the side branch, and a few foundation building monks without the side branch will be devoured by the wolf-like Lin clan with a belt and bones.
The adults negotiated the matter, and Pei Ruxi and other children were basically full.
Eighth Uncle Pei had just learned from the mouth sent by the clan that the side branch had been reduced to one percent of his cultivation resources, but although his cultivation progress was not very fast, his grandfather was the younger brother of the old ancestor. He belongs to the Pei family, and he is in a good mood if he can't cut resources to reduce him.
Uncle Pei walked into the hall, "Be quiet, don't make any noise." ”
He was about to announce the clan's arrangements for this year to the little friars, and before he spoke, he looked at Pei Ruxi, who was unaware, and felt a little pity for her.
Pei Ruxi, who read his eyes, showed a puzzled look, and thought of the worst possibility: "At such a young age, am I going to be married off this year?" And calm down, don't speculate, listen to what he has to say first." ”
Uncle Pei Ba is good at dancing with long sleeves, and he didn't directly tell everyone about cutting resources, he first talked about the Lin family's evil behavior of encroaching on Pei's spiritual field, which aroused everyone's anger, and then talked about how indifferent the Su family was, focusing on exaggerating Pei's difficulties. Seeing that everyone was in a low mood, Uncle Pei asked: "Our clan is having a hard time, as a member of the clan, should we pay for the clan?"
"Yes!" Pei Chenglie shouted the loudest, and scared others, "Whoever doesn't pay, I will bully whom!"
"What if your sister doesn't give?" someone teased him.
"Bully her like this!" Pei Chenglie thought that his sister was the sister of his own mother, and when he found that others pointed at Pei Ruxi with their chins, he suddenly shrank his neck and coaxed.
But he was afraid that others would despise him, so he said in a hurry: "Even if I am bullied by my sister, I have to tell her that it is wrong not to pay for the clan! Without the clan, there would be no us!"
Eighth Uncle Pei praised Pei Chenglie, looked at everyone, and slowly said the clan decision that was closely related to everyone: "From today onwards, the clan has decided to reduce the cultivation resources given to the side branches......
He said it simply, and the younger children could understand that the side branch had received fewer cultivation resources this year than last year.
The girl sitting on Pei Ruxi's right looked at Pei Ruxi and Pei Asi, and said with a smile: "You are a side branch, and the clan's reduction of resources will definitely reduce you." I'm a descendant, I got more resources than you last year, and I got more than you this year, don't be too envious of my good background!"
"Quiet! Quiet! Don't make any noise, wait until I'm done. Uncle Pei suppressed the discussion, "In addition to the side branches, the clan also decided to reduce the resources given to girls......"
"The girls of the lineage are also cut?" someone asked.
"All girls' resources have been cut, including their descendants!" said Uncle Pei.
Hearing this, the girl sitting on Pei Ruxi's right couldn't laugh.
She stood up and asked, "Why?!I already have fewer resources than the boys, so why should I cut my resources?!Is it because I'm lazy to cultivate or am I cultivating lower than theirs?"
The girl's eyes turned red, and she said angrily: "I'm not lazy! I am a double spirit root, Pei Chenglie is also a double spirit root, it took him three years and three months to be promoted to the fourth level of qi refining, and I did it in two years and ten months! I cultivate so hard because I hope that I will become a person who protects the clan and will not let the clan be bullied! The clan has reduced my resources, and I, Pei Yuxia, am not convinced, I want to explain!"
Eighth Uncle Pei couldn't influence the clan's decision, and said helplessly: "Yuxia, sit down, don't get excited." Reducing resources is a matter for the patriarchs and elders to decide, you have two-thirds of the resources, and Pei Ruxi on your left has no resources at all. ”
What the???
Pei Ruxi of the Seventh Heavenly Spirit Root has no resources at all??? are you kidding!
Pei Yuxia didn't believe it: "Impossible! Pei Ruxi's qualifications are so good, how can he not have resources!"
The rest of the children didn't believe it either.
The person concerned, Pei Ruxi, was skeptical and asked, "Eighth Uncle, why don't I have cultivation resources?
Uncle Pei said: "You have good qualifications, you don't need resources, and your cultivation is faster than others." ”
Pei Ruxi smiled angrily: "May I ask the eighth uncle, the cultivation of the foundation building monks is high, should the clan give up the cultivation resources given to them to the people who are in the cultivation period of Qi refining? The foundation building monks are willing to let it, and I am willing! The foundation building monks are unwilling to give up their resources, and I will not let it!"
Uncle Pei said: "I can't answer, it was the clan's decision to cut resources, and I didn't participate in the discussion." Your father is an elder, and the decision of the clan has been approved by him, and if you have doubts, please tell your father. And Yuxia, your father also participated in the clan's discussion of reducing resources, if you are not convinced, please find your father. ”
"What about me?" Pei Ah Si plucked up his courage and said, "Eighth uncle, my father is a mortal, and so is my aunt, they are not in the ancestral house." I don't want to cut resources, who do I have to talk to for an explanation?"
"The decision of the clan does not need to be explained. Eighth Uncle Pei said, "The cultivation resources belong to the clan, not yours, and the clan appropriately reduces your resources in the hope that everyone will live a better life, and you should accept the clan's arrangement." ”
He was eloquent, resolved everyone's grievances in a few words, and took out a bag of spirit stones and a few bottles of pills: "Come, let's play the game, no matter who wins, we will reward the spirit stones and pills!"
Children prefer benefits that are close at hand, and when they hear that they can get rewards for playing games, most people immediately forget about cutting resources. They happily started the game under the leadership of Uncle Pei, and after a while, the hall was full of laughter.
