Chapter 675: One tael of silver is too little for the severance fee

Families with many children tend to have more active minds.

Especially the family with only girls in the house, they pushed their daughters forward: "Master, there is no difference between male and female Taoist children, right?"

Wu Chenzi smiled: "Of course there is no distinction between men and women. How can there be any distinction between genders in front of the Grandmaster?"

This sentence made the villagers even more excited.

Girls are useless when they are raised at home. When they grow up, they may not even be worth a tael of silver. They are all money-losing goods. Only boys can be the labor force to support the family.

Now, as long as you are chosen by Bixia Temple, you can get a tael of silver as a severance fee, which is really great! Li Zhaodi's mother, who has a good relationship with Jiang Yao in the village, asked Jiang Yao in a low voice: "Does your family let Mianmian become a little Taoist child? I plan to let our Zhaodi go."

Jiang Yao frowned when she heard this.

Mianmian is the baby of the couple, how could they exchange their daughter for money? Who knows if being a Taoist child is reliable? These Taoist priests said that there is no shortage of food, but who knows how the child will be treated if handed over to them? "Zhao Di's mother, I think you should forget it. You should love your own child. Your family can afford to feed Zhao Di. Why send the child away?"

Seeing that Jiang Yao was unwilling, Zhaodi's mother curled her lips and turned to talk to another family about this matter.

Wu Chenzi gave the villagers a chance to talk to each other. After waiting for a long while, he spoke again: "It seems that you have made a decision. So, those who are willing to let their children become disciples, please stand on this side. Those who are not willing, please stand on this side."

The villagers quickly divided into two teams.

There are only three families on Jiang Yao's side.

Mianmian raised her head carefully, making sure that the man who had given her two hearts was not looking at her, and asked her father carefully: "Dad, what is a master and an apprentice?"

Su Senqi explained and gently told his daughter: "The children who become apprentices will leave with these Taoist priests."

When Mianmian heard this, her eyes fell on those friends she got along well with.

If the friends leave with the Taoist priests who harmed Ermao, won't they also be harmed? She grabbed Su Senqi's clothes more tightly, her eyes full of panic: "Dad, can you tell them not to go? Can you not go?"

There happened to be a young Taoist priest in front of Su Senqi. His eyes fell on Mianmian's frightened little face, and a light suddenly flashed in his eyes.

Su Senqi noticed it and quickly pressed his daughter's face into his arms: "It's okay, it's okay, Mianmian, be good. The Taoist priest said that you need fate to be chosen."

As expected, many children were not selected. The selected children stood behind Wu Chenzi. At this time, the young Taoist priest who was staring at Mian Mian walked up to Wu Chenzi and whispered to him.

When Wu Chenzi heard this, his eyes lit up.

He strode up to Su Senqi and said with a smile, "What's your name, young man?"

Su Senqi said coldly: "Su Senqi."

"What a nice name! When you were born, did anyone tell you that you lacked the element of wood?"

Su Senqi nodded coldly.

That’s right, this name was indeed given to him by his parents after they heard that he lacked the element of wood in his five elements. It is said that they spent half a tael of silver on the name.

"Your child is just predestined to learn Taoism from me. He is a natural talent." Wu Chenzi stared at Mian Mian with satisfaction in his eyes. "I am destined to have such a disciple. I wonder if you, Su Housheng, are willing to bear the pain and let your daughter practice with me?"

When Su Senqi heard this, he hugged his daughter tightly and spoke after thinking for a while: "Thank you for your kindness, Taoist priest, but our family has a family motto. We don't ask for great wealth, but we ask for a harmonious family. So, I can't agree to your request."

This rejection made the villagers whose children were not selected feel very disappointed.

"This Su Senqi is really, how come he doesn't know how to continue after his great blessing has come to an end?"

"Mr. Su, are you going to let your daughter's blessing go to waste just like that? Please persuade your husband."

"My Zhaodi wants to go but can't, so why can Su's go?"

Everyone’s discussion made Mianmian extremely scared.

Go, go, go, she suddenly realized that she was chosen by the Taoist priests, and might have to leave her parents and run to Bixia Temple.

If I go to Bixia Temple, won't I always be with the man who killed Ermao? "Daddy, daddy, Mianmian doesn't want to go. Mianmian is scared."

As she spoke, Mianmian looked a few more times at the Taoist priest who killed Ermao.

These glances fell into Wuchenzi's eyes. Wuchenzi turned back and took a look, stroking his beard and said: "Children don't know the benefits of practicing Taoism, but you adults should know that I am now 123 years old, but I look like a 50-year-old man. This is the power of practicing Taoism."

"If you think one tael of silver is too little for the severance fee, how about ten taels of silver?"

10 taels of silver! 10 taels of silver can last for a long time! The villagers cast envious glances at Su Senqi.

Their children could only get one tael of silver, but others could get 10 taels, which was ten times more. What was so special about the daughter of the Su family that the Taoist priest was willing to accept her as his disciple and give her so much money?

"Su family, just agree with the Taoist priest. I think Mianmian will live happily ever after."

"Yes, yes, ten taels of silver. If it were me, I would have agreed long ago."

"You say the relationship is broken, but when I go to Bixia Temple to burn incense, it won't be a big deal if I sneak a glance at the Taoist priests. What's there to be afraid of?"

Everyone was blinded by the ten taels of silver and actually tried to persuade Su Senqi and Jiang Yao.

The couple looked at each other and saw fear in each other's eyes.

The two of them could become husband and wife, so they naturally had a tacit understanding in some aspects. For example, at this moment, they thought of what the old people often said: There is no such thing as a free lunch. What falls is not a free lunch, but a trap.

Su Senqi refused again: "To be honest, my wife had a difficult delivery when she gave birth to Mianmian, and the doctor said that we only have this one child, so I really can't agree to your request. Taoist priest, please take a look, maybe there are other families that have the disciple you want?"

Wu Chenzi was rejected for the second time, but he was not angry. He still smiled and said, "Well, it seems that this kid and I are not destined to be together for the time being."

After saying this, he returned to his original position and began to distribute silver to the villagers. After the silver was distributed, the Taoists of Bixia Temple carried the cage and left Xinghua Village.

As soon as the Taoist priests left, the villagers started to talk about it: "The Su family is really tactless. They don't even want to let their children go."

"I guess when Mianmian grows up, she will definitely blame her parents for not letting her practice."

Su Senqi has already returned home with Jiang Yao.

The couple hesitated for a long time, and finally asked their daughter: "Mianmian, tell me, what did you see on the day Ermao was killed?"

What did you see?

Mianmian's little body trembled and her eyes turned red instantly.
