Mi Xiaoying immediately asked, "Who is the one who opened the temple? Who is responsible for the sacrifice? How many people are going to go there?"

"In previous years, the highest-ranking person in the Zhang family went to open the temple. As for who is responsible for the sacrifice, it is the person who was blessed by the gods of the previous generation! How many people can go to depends on the will of God!" Liu Sister-in-law's gossip desire Ah Wang is very strong. I don’t need Mi Xiaoying to ask, and continue to say: “So, according to common sense, this year’s sacrifice is to be the chief priest of the San Gongzi. But the San Gongzi requires both the chief priest and the eldest master. Campaigning for the blessings of the gods, so Mr. Zhang is not happy anymore. The blockade didn’t work a few days ago. No, there’s something wrong with the mining area over there. Mr. Zhang, this is a combination of several clan elders who are imposing on the third son. The pressure! The old man is very partial. Seeing his third son caused such a big disaster, he didn't say anything to punish him. The elder Zhang and the clan elder didn't agree. No, there is a quarrel in it."

Okay, no need to ask, sister-in-law Liu said everything she knew.

Mi Xiaoying asked: "Do you think the old man will be biased towards the third son this time?"

"It's hard to tell. After all, the eldest master is the eldest grandson of the Zhang family." Liu sister-in-law said: "But it is also true that the third son is favored."

Mi Xiaoying knew that she couldn't get any news from Sister Liu, so she just found an excuse and left.

At this time, in the main yard, the old lady's yard was already full of people.

The eldest son of the Zhang family said excitedly: "Father, I know you are facing the third brother, but the mine disaster has killed so many people, shouldn't the third brother explain it? We spent a lot of money to find so many people to do it. Live, the rise and fall of our Zhang family depends on the folks in this village. Now that so many people have died, what will the third brother give to those people?"

The third son of the Zhang family looked gloomy and said, "Big brother's words are damned. What is going on in this cave-in, presumably my big brother knows better than me. I am also very sad after so many people have died, but now it's not you and me that are the first thing to consider. The contradiction between, but to deal with this follow-up as soon as possible, give more than a hundred people an explanation!"

"The third uncle speaks really nicely. Then dare to ask the third uncle how he intends to explain it?" From his father's standpoint, the young master of the Zhang family questioned the third son of the Zhang family: "If it weren't for the third uncle to be greedy for meritorious work and not follow the instructions to mine, how could it cause a cave-in. The third uncle can't shirk the blame! Since the third uncle can't do these things well, let's abdicate as soon as possible and let the virtuous!"

"Is the eldest nephew too anxious to usurp the throne?" The third son of the Zhang family looked at the young master Zhang with disdain, and said: "How many good things have been brought to the Zhang family by Liushen Town in the past twenty years of my reign, everyone? It is obvious to all. I admit that I am a bit greedy. But for whom is I greedy? Not for everyone here? The secret of the gold mine is the foundation of our Zhang family in Liushenzhen. It is impossible to pass on death. The secret of going out. Over the years, how much effort did Zhang's family have to conceal the existence of this gold mine? Although my third child has no great skills, he forcibly concealed this gold mine for twenty years! Even if there is no credit, there will be hard work, right? Why? Before the day when the temple is opened, I have to cross the river and tear down the bridge?"

"Do you believe it or not? The people I contacted will only contact me one-line? Even if you take my place, those people will not recognize you. They recognize me, Zhang San!" Zhang San Gongzi shot Standing at the table, he said, "You all eat hot and spicy in Liushen Town, and live comfortably. How would you know how desperate I was to keep everything in Liushen Town? What is the outside world like? Are you not afraid of the news being exposed, and can't keep the secrets of the gold mine anymore? You probably don't know it yet? Now there are no emperors and dynasties in the outside world, and private mining of all minerals is not allowed! We! Once exposed, we will say nothing and go to jail!"

At this time, the old lady of the Zhang family finally spoke: "Okay, don't make any noise."

The people in the yard looked at the old lady of the Zhang family one after another.

The old man is in her seventies this year, and her body is not very strong.

Without modern medical treatment, it is very good to live to 70.

But despite this, his years of accumulation of prestige is still there.

"Father, you can be fair!" The Zhang family eldest son and the third son said together.

The old lady of the Zhang family raised his eyes and said, "You all know what Liushen Town was like in the past. It's not that I favored the third child, but the third child did have this ability. Twenty years ago, Liushen Town was also relying on it. That little grain and that little sheep’s skin are sold for a limited amount of money. What about the past twenty years? All of you are fat and strong, and what you eat is bad? Not to mention this, Some of the things you use in every household are all the things that the third child has painstakingly memorized from the outside world. You can't forget your roots as a human being."

The expressions of the old folks were a little ugly.

Someone said: "You can't say that. The third child's hard work, we are all in the eyes. But the rules are the rules, and the third child's credit and mistakes cannot be mixed together. This is one yard of things. We. His life is good, and his third child's life is even better. So he himself has benefited from his hard work."

The eldest son of the Zhang family glanced at the clan elder appreciatively, and continued: "Yes, father. I can also trust the third brother's ability, but the third brother has taken over all these years and let us handle nothing. This is a defense. Who is it?"

"If there are too many people, it will only lead to chaos, isn't I doing this for everyone?" The third son of the Zhang family frowned and said, "Big brother, I know what you are planning. Don't you just want the route to the outside world? To tell you the truth, I will never announce it at will. That is the root vein of Liushen Town, and there is absolutely no room for loss."

"The third brother is stingy, why bother to talk about the roots of Liushen Town?" Zhang Family Grandpa said: "I suggest opening the temple in advance this year and re-elect the person in charge. The third brother will do bad things, just let Let others do it!"

"I also agree to open the temple in advance. It just happens that the summer grain is harvested and there is time."

"I don't think I need to wait for the harvest of summer grains and open the temple as soon as possible to deal with the collapse of the gold mine."

"What to do? Give their family a sum of money to pass it away. What year will you die? No more than dozens of people have died this year." A teammate of the third son of the Zhang family said casually: "It's just a bunch of poor ghosts, dead. Just add new ones. With so many people in Liushen Town, what's the difficulty of catching a few miners?"

"Okay, shut up!" The old Zhang family patted the table hard: "I'm not dead yet!"

The people in the yard were silent collectively.

The old lady of the Zhang family spoke: "It's time to open the temple after the summer grain is harvested. The third one--"

"Father." The third son of the Zhang family hurried over and held the hand of the old man of the Zhang family.

"You have to deal with the gold mine first. You are right. You contacted this line, and no one else can take your credit." The old lady of the Zhang family said: "Before the temple opens, you are still responsible for it. If the gods did not choose you, you have to hand over this line unselfishly."

The third son of the Zhang family looked a little ugly, but he nodded and agreed: "Yes, father."

"Boss." The Zhang family grandfather looked at his eldest son: "Father knows that you have been wronged over the years, but since the matter has reached this point, there is nothing to say. In these years, the money given to you by the old third is not a small amount. It can be regarded as compensating you."

"Father, I..." The eldest son of the Zhang family wanted to argue, but he was pulled by his son and stopped.

"What Grandpa said is." Young Master Zhang said, "I and Dad, I just want to have an explanation with Grandpa. Sanshu's contributions to the Zhang family over the years are naturally in our eyes. Grandpa Looking at things, it is naturally deeper than us. If there is anything wrong with it, grandfather has to mention it."

Seeing that the grandson is so sensible, the Zhang family's grandfather calmed down a bit, and turned around and said to several clan elders: "It's all the Zhang family, and I can't write two sheets in one stroke. These years, the third one will give you. Isn’t it a lot of filial piety? It doesn’t matter who will be the master. The important thing is how much filial piety can be given after becoming the master. We are all half-buried people. Isn't it all for the children? Don't worry. As long as I'm still there, whether it's the third or the eldest, the money they make won't be less than half a cent."

Several clan veterans saw that their goals had been achieved, and they were all relieved: "Yes, yes, we just came to ask about how to deal with the collapse, and we didn't mean anything else."

"It's all gone." The old Zhang family waved, turned and left the yard.

When everyone else was gone, the eldest son of the Zhang family asked his son in a low voice: "Why didn't you let me finish talking just now?"

"Father, don't you understand? Grandpa made it clear that the third uncle is partial 1" Young Master Zhang said with a gloomy look: "It's no use what you say now."

"Then give up so?"

"How is it possible to admit defeat? Since your third uncle let you break your leg twenty years ago, you can't go to the temple. He did the first year of junior high school, so don't blame us for doing the fifteenth. We will let him go as long as the third uncle is absent. , Even if grandpa is more eccentric, what can we do?" Young Master Zhang said: "We still have to continue to win over those clan elders, and then we will fight for that position with a little bit of effort."

The Zhang family's grandson immediately relaxed his expression: "You are right."

Suddenly, the Zhang family grandson's complexion changed, and he looked towards the roof: "Who? Who is there!"

In the next second, Young Master Zhang immediately asked someone to move up the ladder and went up to the roof to check it in person.

A breeze blew by.

There was no one on the roof.

After the young Master Zhang looked around uneasy, he slowly came down: "Father, no one."

The grandpa Zhang family breathed a sigh of relief and said: "This matter today must not be spread. Once it is spread, our Zhang family will be completely over."
