Chapter 121 Rewards Deducted in Half
Village Chief Xu: "Whether I have time to build it or not does not affect your decision."
Village Chief Wumu: "I didn't know it would be withheld. Besides, this is a temple building benefit. Logically, you shouldn't have it if you didn't build a temple. But because of the special situation of your village, the mountain god still gave you sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn, and kiwis, which is already very good."
Village Chief Xu had no way to refute.
He didn't waste any time and quickly distributed the supplies and asked everyone to start planting.
Even if Wanjia Village got the news now, it would be impossible for them to attack so quickly. It would take at least after tonight.
After tonight, the kiwifruit adults in the protective circle have grown up, and they no longer have to worry about being invaded by monsters or being "retaliated" by the Wanjia Flower Picking Team.
It was obviously not them who caused the trouble first, but now they are the ones who are worried about retaliation.
Zhen Anping clenched his fists with resentment in his heart. He said to his grandmother in dissatisfaction: "Why should we be afraid? He provoked us first. It was not us who started it..."
When Zhen's mother looked up and saw the young face of her eldest grandson, her heart ached: "Just because their fists are harder than ours! Can you beat them up or kill them? If you have the ability, I will immediately pack up the axe and let you go. But can you? Do you have the ability of the God's envoys? Do you?"
When Zhen Zhaodi, who was standing by, saw this, she quickly pulled her cousin's sleeve and told him not to argue with grandma.
There were already enough deaths in their family, and she thought that she and her grandmother were the only ones who survived, but she didn't expect that her eldest cousin was also there.
Zhen Zhaodi breathed a sigh of relief knowing that her eldest cousin was still alive. Because she knew that in a place like theirs, it was absolutely impossible to not have a son.
Her uncle and her father are all gone, and her younger brother is also gone. If there is no male left, it will be just her and her grandmother. Even if they survive, they will not be able to hold their backs straight in the village and will be bullied by others.
Zhen Zhaodi had experienced her parents praying for a child for many years, but there was no news after she was born, and people talked about her behind her back. She really didn't want to lose this cousin again.
Zhen Anping knew that his grandmother was right, and that was why he felt particularly sad.
He hated himself for being incompetent, and also hated the villagers for being short-sighted and not believing in the mountain god earlier, otherwise...
How could Zhen's mother not feel heartbroken?
She worked hard and escaped death by running to her son-in-law Li Zhengqing's house for help. As a result, she only saved her two grandchildren, but her husband, son, and daughter-in-law were all gone.
But the sword is still hanging above our heads. If one of us is not careful, the rest of us may all be killed.
If she had not "witnessed" the power of the Mountain God, she would believe that the Mountain God could really protect them. She would rather take her two grandchildren to beg in another village and live under someone else's roof than come back.
After all, she is so old, and if she dies, she dies, but her grandchildren are still young and they still have a future.
If they were in another village, they would have no land or house, so what would happen to their grandchildren?
Going back to the village, at least there is still a house and land.
As long as the mountain god can protect them, they can live on.
As for revenge...
Do ordinary people like them have the qualifications to "take revenge"?
Staying alive is more important than revenge.
But as a mother, who doesn't want to avenge her own son?
Zhen's mother turned her head away, not wanting her grandson to see her in pain.
Only after she left the yard did Zhen Zhaodi dare to pull her eldest cousin Zhen Anping to talk.
She said, "Brother, I know you want to avenge everyone, and I want to do the same. But you are the only one in our family. If anything happens to you, how can grandpa and uncle rest in peace in the underworld? You are the only boy in our family, and our family's incense depends on you..."
She persuaded Zhen Anping that even if he wanted to take revenge, he should marry and have children before leaving.
It was just right, he could take this opportunity to learn some skills from the Lord God's Messenger, maybe he could take revenge with his own hands then.
I don’t know what Zhen Zhaodi’s words touched Zhen Anping, but he agreed.
It's not just the Zhen family that's like this; many families in the village are like this.
Which family didn’t lose one or two people?
Which family doesn’t have hatred?
But compared to revenge, knowing they are no match for their opponent, they can only choose to "stay alive" first.
When the moonlight shone down and the sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn in the fields slowly grew, everyone was stunned.
"Zhao Di, pinch me! Why do I feel like this is a little unreal?"
Zhen Zhaodi plucked up her courage and pinched her breast, causing Zhen's mother to gasp in pain and curse, "You little bitch, why are you using so much force?"
But it also made her believe that everything before her was real.
The village chief did not lie to them, the mountain god really sent them food!
Zhen's mother immediately thought that this person was "detained" and felt very regretful. If they had honestly built the mountain temple, the mountain god would have given them more rewards, right?
“Alas…what a pity!”
Village chief Xu sat in front of his own field, feeling extremely regretful.
It was such a good opportunity to mature overnight, but they missed it.
His son Xu Songmu whispered beside him: "It's already pretty good. The gods outside still eat people, but we don't eat people and give them food. It's like a dream."
Village Chief Xu glared at him and said, "You are useless."
Xu Songmu: “…”
Dad, I'm trying to comfort you, why are you scolding me?

Wanjia Village, Wanjia.
Village chief Wan Nanyiyi felt a little confused. The flower-picking team had been out for several days, so why was there still no news?
He felt a little worried, wondering if something had happened.
As soon as he arrived at the door of his second brother Wan Nan'er's house, he smelled alcohol and his face immediately fell.
He walked in with a cold face.
When a few people who were drinking happily saw him, they were scared like mice seeing a cat.
The thin man quickly patted the drunk Wan Nan'er's arm: "Second brother, second brother, wake up, your eldest brother is here..."
Wan Naner stuck out his tongue and said, "What do you mean my elder brother? Here, I am the elder brother..."
Wan Nanyi, with a cold face, drove the group of people away, and asked his sister-in-law to fetch a basin of cold water and pour it on Wan Naner.
Wan Naner sobered up instantly, and when he saw that it was his elder brother, he swallowed the curse that was about to come out of his mouth: "It's you, elder brother...what are you doing? I provoke you, and you are throwing cold water on me like this?"
"What are you doing?" Wan Nanyi said, "Where is the news I asked you to keep an eye on?"
"I...I asked Lu Laoliu to keep an eye on it."
Wan Nanyi was furious when he heard this: "I asked you to watch it personally, watch it personally. Don't you understand the word 'personally'? Do you know how important this matter is? How dare you hand it over to someone else?"
Wan Naner muttered: "Lu Laoliu is not an outsider..."
"If he is not an outsider, then who is the outsider? You? You want him to replace you, right?"
Wan Naner said with an embarrassed expression: "You are my biological brother, not his biological brother. How can someone else replace me? Brother, don't scare me..."
"I'm scaring you? If you weren't my brother, I would have kicked you out long ago for what you did." Wan Nanyi gritted his teeth and started to settle the account with Wan Naner.
Previously, Wan Naner was asked to collect the debt, but as soon as he arrived in Lanwa Town, he slept with a girl in the brothel and even forgot who he was. If his son hadn't been there on business and hadn't run into him, the money would have been spent by Wan Naner long ago.
Also, it was agreed that a top-quality sacrifice would cost at least ten taels of silver, but as soon as others toasted him with a glass of wine, he forgot who he was and simply gave others half the price, causing them to lose half of their money.
A few days ago, he had a fight with his sister-in-law because he was dishonest and his sister-in-law found out that he had a mistress outside...
Wan Nan cleaned up the mess made by his younger brother every day, and he didn't want to clean it up anymore.
He really wanted to ask his father in the underworld why he left him such a useless brother. It would be worse than having no brother at all.
