Chapter 413 Look at this pot, it's big and round
The younger generations woke up as if from a dream and hurriedly lit a new incense stick.
The elders took it, and as they turned around, the incense in their hands was cut in half again, leaving nothing behind.
Everyone: “!!!”
“Come again!”
The boss of the third house, Xi Siyu's useless old father, was unwilling to give up and had incense burned for the third time.
Unsurprisingly, the incense that was lit for the third time still couldn't escape the fate of breaking halfway.
“This…” An older uncle leaned on a cane, his face pale, “During the ancestor worship, all the incense and candles were burned out. This is a very bad omen, a very bad omen!”
"That's right. This has happened three times in a row. It doesn't seem like a coincidence. Someone in the family must have done something shameful and angered our ancestors, which led to this."
"What do you mean? You can talk, but what are you looking at me for? Are you trying to say that I did something shameful? Who are you? I think it's you who has angered the ancestors."
"Did I say anything about you? You are so eager to jump out and take the blame. I think you are guilty."
"you!"
"Enough!" Finally, it was the cousin who shouted and stopped the farce, and turned to look at the eldest uncle's family who were in charge of the ancestor worship.
"Second brother's family, your family arranged all matters related to the ancestor worship this time, including these incense and candles. Now there is a problem with the incense used for the worship. Don't you have anything to explain?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the uncle's face changed.
What does that mean? Are they trying to pin the blame for today's sacrificial offering on their family? Make them the sinners of the family!
With such vicious intentions, the uncle naturally could not let him succeed.
"Look at what you said. How could we be so perfunctory about such an important matter? We bought these incense sticks in person from the largest and best incense shop in the city. We still have the invoices. How could there be a problem?"
Xi Wuyong also echoed: "That's right, I bought these incense sticks myself, there is absolutely no problem. If you uncles and brothers don't believe me, there are still many packages of unused incense sticks here, you can check them."
Upon hearing this, several other relatives immediately stepped forward to check the remaining loose incense. As expected, there was nothing wrong with them.
But when they lit the incense and handed it to their elders to place in front of the tombstone after the worship, the incense still could not escape the fate of being cut in half.
"this……"
The cousin who was speaking was of the same generation as Old Man Xi. The eldest uncle didn't want him to put the blame on himself again, so he decisively interrupted him before he could open his mouth.
"We have checked and inspected it. There was no problem with the incense before it was lit. There was no problem during the worship. The problem only occurred before it was put into the incense burner at the end. I think even if there was a problem, it should have appeared to the person who held it at the end."
The cousin's face darkened. He was of a higher generation, and most of the incense sticks from the second and third branches were handed over to him to finish the last week.
What the uncle said was tantamount to pointing the finger directly at him, which turned the tables on him.
"Second brother, how dare you talk like that? You don't know any rules at all. It's because of the existence of a descendant like you that the spirits of our ancestors get angry."
"Uncle San is right, big brother, we have just heard about your family's affairs from the people present. You deceived your sister-in-law into signing the voluntary organ donation document, and secretly bought her a huge amount of insurance. You are really unethical.
If we really want to investigate, it will be considered intentional injury and you will have to go to jail. Our family is a respectable one after all. If we have a relative who has been in jail, we will lose all our face. No wonder our ancestors are so angry that they are unwilling to give you, the person in charge of the sacrifice, a little face."
The eldest uncle received the backstab from his own brother, and laughed in anger: "You speak nicely, and people who don't know you would think you are a kind-hearted person who hates evil. Don't think I don't know what you are up to. I am not a good person, and how are you any better than me? If I push you to the limit, I will expose all your ugly deeds. Then we can see who is more shameful and disliked by our ancestors."
But in just a moment, the relatives who had been talking and laughing together not long ago all changed their faces. No one was willing to give in, and they all wanted to tear off a piece of each other's flesh.
Compared to the smoke-filled and explosive situation on their side, Du Anrao and others were enjoying a peaceful and calm time.
Although both families have many relatives, they get along harmoniously and there is basically no such drama of internal family intrigue and feuding.
I was watching with great interest from the sidelines and was almost about to grab a handful of peanuts and sunflower seeds to eat.
"Wonderful, wonderful, really wonderful."
"On March 23, Grain Rain, during the Xi Family's ancestral worship ceremony in City K, a verbal fight broke out. The blue team launched the 'Punch' attack first and took first blood. The red team was unwilling to be outdone and launched the 'Divert the Foul' skill, successfully avoiding the opponent's fatal attack. The blue team was unwilling to give up its advantage and chose to launch the second skill 'Petition' to trip up the opponent.
The red team was enraged and went into a frenzy, using their ultimate to cause group damage, minimizing the difference in advantage between the two sides by injuring 1,000 enemies and 800 of their own. The battle situation has entered a tense state, and it is still unknown who will win. The above is reported by frontline reporter Xiao An. "
As soon as Duanrao finished speaking, applause broke out from the side.
"If nothing else, it would be a huge loss to the media industry if An An, with her eloquence, didn't become a reporter."
Duanrao immediately puffed out his chest with pride and accepted the praise.
Du Hexuan, who was standing by, was watching the show while his sister was having fun, and he did not forget to take every opportunity to flatter Xi Jingyue.
"See? See? This is the disadvantage of family disharmony. It's hard to guard against them. There's a small fight every three days, a big fight every five days. There are always casualties or injuries. The whole family can't have peace. You two must avoid this kind of situation when looking for a man in the future. It doesn't matter how successful he is, but at least he must have a harmonious family and kind elders. You must not marry someone like theirs."
Li Zhaoyang was embarrassed for a moment, thinking, buddy, isn't this a bit too obvious? Be careful not to provoke the child's rebellious psychology.
Just as he finished sighing, he saw his family member nodded solemnly, expressing his deep agreement: "That's right, a harmonious family is the foundation of everything. A complicated family like theirs is not suitable for our An'an."
"……"You two sang the same tune and even named names. I seriously suspect that you two are deliberately seeking revenge just for the so-called marriage certificate between someone and the younger sister of the Du family!
Li Zhaoyang silently glanced at his cousin who was standing not far away and knew nothing about what was happening here, and silently lit a candle for him in his heart.
Duanrao frowned and did not comment on the two people's highly pointed suggestions.
Just at this moment, someone in the crowd not far away cried out in surprise.
"Look, the incense over there is still burning."
