Chapter 36: Frustrated



The old patriarch looked at the sky and realized that the time had come.

He said in a deep voice: "Let's start."

놙 saw him straighten his clothes and shouted loudly, "Please come in, Grandpa."

Then, a master stood in the center of the yard holding a sign that read "Jiang Taigong has passed away, all gods abdicate"

Song Jinxiu placed fruit offerings in front of the sign, then knelt down and kowtowed.

After bowing, he "wounded" the beam.

That is, wrap a piece of red cloth between the beams, and stick red paper with "Green dragon supporting the jade pillar, white tiger supporting the golden beam" on both ends of the beams with rice soup.

There were also three plates of fruit offerings.

Song Jinxiu took a look at the offerings, which included a bouquet of flowers, a carpenter's inkwell, and a piece of music.

At this time, the master who built the house and the carpenter came up together to light incense and candles, burn paper money, and chant auspicious words.

"The world is open, the source of wealth is abundant, the horses are strong. The golden boy and the jade girl help to move forward, the roof is successfully completed, and they gather in the hall..."

After they finished reading, Song Jinxiu followed suit and kowtowed, and then she had nothing to do with it.

After Song Jinxiu kowtowed, she supported the clan leader and walked out of the yard.

At this time, the men in the yard who were preparing to put up the beams were already ready.

With a "rise."

Shouts and firecrackers rang out together

The children waiting outside to grab the wedding buns shouted together:

"Build a new house, put up the main beam, firecrackers drive away the evil spirits and bring good fortune. The green dragon on the left and the white tiger on the right, my family is a big landlord..."

Song Jinfang and Xiao Qiu Sheng also started shouting and jumping.

The last part is the children’s favorite, throwing beams, also known as scattering blessings.

The carpenter stood on the beam with a basket on his shoulder and threw down from the sky sorghum mixed with candy and peanuts, wheat bran and thumb-sized white flour buns with red dots.

The one who was spreading blessings shouted: "Spread blessings, may you have a long and blessed life, receive blessings, and share the five blessings together..."

Song Jinxiu had never seen such a scene before and was very curious. She was also excited by the atmosphere.

It's very lively and festive here.

The atmosphere in the old Song family was very depressed.

Song Dashi was smoking a pipe, his brows furrowed so tightly that he could kill a fly.

Yesterday, after returning from his humiliation at 놇里녊's house, he thought about it all night.

It's not worth going to court for a house.

After all, he has been adopted, so it is hard to say whether he can be brought back.

I'm about to come back, and that house won't be built on that unlucky yard, so I'll have to argue with my family there.

It would not do to just let him swallow his anger.

Without telling anyone, he adopted his grandson and he didn't even know about it. This is too much of a bully!

Originally, he went to the east end that day and saw the yard where the house was being built.

He was shocked.

At first, when I saw people working on the bricks and tiles, I thought they were going to build two brick and tile houses.

Judging from the movement, maybe the house is not bad. In that case, the brick and tile house can be a good place for Dalang and Erlang to get married.

As for those ungrateful wolves who can never be tamed, if they ask him for it, would they dare not give it to them?

As for breaking off relations? But he just kicked out those disobedient children.

He was filial, but those children were not unfilial.

Since ancient times, filial piety has always been the backbone of the family. If a child dares to be unfilial, it would not be an exaggeration to strangle him to death.

녦놆 didn't expect that Li녊 would interfere and actually let a few stubborn guys adopt him.

Bah, how shameless! You pick up something that no one wants and treat it as a treasure?

But Song Dashi was very angry and did not sleep all night. He went out for a walk early in the morning, and while walking, he arrived at the new house.

Look at this magnificent small courtyard. Song Dashi couldn't help but feel jealous again.

This yard is big enough for Dalang and Erlang to marry wives, and even for their whole family to move in.

Well, the old couple lived in the landlord's room, and Dalang was the eldest son and grandson, so a door facing outwards was opened in the west room so that he could live there.

However, he did not expect that when he was calculating how to divide the house, the old patriarch would stand by his side without him noticing.

The old patriarch hit him with his walking stick, which scared him.

The old clan leader smiled and asked him, "Shi Tou, this is my third brother's yard. What are you doing here? Do you miss my third brother? Do you come here to chat with him?"

What are you talking about? He wants to talk to someone who has been dead for many years? What the hell? It made his scalp tingle in broad daylight.

Who knew that he was so frightened in his heart that he heard the old patriarch coldly say: "Don't think about this house. The children have nothing to do with you anymore."

He explained with a frown: "Uncle clan leader, the children are still young, and I'm afraid they can't keep the house. No matter what, I'm their grandfather, so I have to help them, right?"

The clan leader sneered: "If the relationship is severed, then it is severed. If you force your child to be severed, it means that you, as a grandfather, are unreliable."

With so many people watching him, he felt really embarrassed to be scolded by the old patriarch.

This evil old thing, ever since he heard him say that his third brother was doomed to be unlucky, he has disliked me.

It's not just you who said that, why do you always target him?

I didn't want to bother with this old guy, but this new house is so well built that it makes me jealous.

Just as I was trying to find a few more words to say, I heard the old patriarch say:

"I'm going to say this today. These kids are now my family. Anyone who dares to bully them will not give me face."

Song Dashi was so angry, but he didn't dare to act rashly in front of the old man, so he returned home in disgrace.

When I got home, I became angrier and more frustrated the more I thought about it.

It was obvious that those ungrateful people belonged to the Song family, so those houses should belong to them. Why should they be controlled by these old guys in the clan?

Song Erlang also had a gloomy face, "Master, those bastards will not be let off easily. We must restore the reputation of our Song family."

The wound on his leg hasn't healed yet, this karma has been established, Song Erlang swore that he would make those bastards pay the price.

Song Dazhu was full of questions, "What's going on? Why was he adopted? Are you trying to covet the money of these stubborn people? How much money did this noble give?"

It makes everyone jealous, maybe it's more than just one house, right?

"That won't work. How can you let Li take all the money? Is this money from our family?"

Song Dashi was depressed: "I have seen the adoption documents, and it is stamped with the red seal of the government. Why do you want it?"

"Are they trying to play dirty tricks on us? Dad, it really won't work. The four of us will fight them. Are we afraid of them?"

Song Sizhu is the late-born son of Song Dashi. He is now nineteen years old, the same age as Song Dalang. He has already married, but because of work needs, he rents a house in the county town.

Song Sizhu also went to school, but because he disliked literature and loved martial arts, he clamored to Song Dashi to find him a job transporting goods for the Dafeng Escort Agency.

The Song family had their own ox cart, and during the slack season, he would help the Dafeng Escort Agency deliver goods, which was equivalent to the current postman or courier boy.

I had a day off today, and when I got home I heard my mother complaining. She was young and hot-tempered, how could she stand such humiliation?

Song Dashi also wanted to fight, it was so frustrating.

He knew that although the Li family had two sons, they were not easy to mess with.

Song Qingshu was very strong and could easily knock down a cow. Song Qingshu was agile and nimble, and no one could beat him whether swimming in the river or not.

As for the few in my own family, no matter what he said, they are just noisy, but if we talk about the real thing, it's no good!
