Aunt Chi convened a family meeting.
The main point, of course, is about the rain tomorrow.
"Now that we know in advance that it will rain tomorrow, shouldn't we take advantage of this and do something to benefit our family?"
Aunt Chi revealed her purpose.
We can't let our daughter's hard work go to waste, can we?
Third Sister-in-law Chi scoffed, "Does Tangtang think it will rain just because she says so?"
Little Fifth Brother immediately retorted, "Then can you write? Tangtang can write without ever having learned! It must be a deity who taught Tangtang!"
“Yes, if Tangbao says it will rain tomorrow, then it will definitely rain.”
Old Man Chi, just like a child, spoke with great conviction.
Chi Dashan and others also expressed their belief.
Even Chi Sanhe, who had just returned from Xiaowangzhuang, unconditionally believed in Chi Tang.
Chi San's sister-in-law rolled her eyes in anger.
But I did have some doubts.
After all, Chi Tang is so young, it's impossible for her to know how to read.
Could it really be that a deity told Chi Tang this?
Just as the family was worrying about what to do, there was a sudden commotion outside the yard.
It was the village chief, and a few other villagers.
Old Man Chi went out immediately.
Aunt Chi immediately warned everyone: "No one is allowed to tell anyone about Tangbao being able to write or about the rain tomorrow! Especially you, Third Brother's wife! If you dare to say a single word out of the house, I'll make Third Brother divorce you!"
"Try it if you don't believe me!"
They need to give them a good talking-to.
This little Zhou woman is very cunning.
Seeing that Sister-in-law Chi had behaved herself, Aunt Chi and the others filed out and went into the courtyard.
"Village chief, what's wrong?"
Old Man Chi looked at the village chief, who was filled with remorse, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
I'm afraid something bad might happen.
The village chief hesitated, but struggled to speak anyway:
"Here's what happened. I went to a master to calculate when it would rain. The master said that someone in our village has a bad fate, which is suppressing the fortune of the whole village and even the whole town. The evil energy is soaring, which is why this drought has occurred."
“You believe these baseless accusations, village chief?” Aunt Chi said.
The village chief's face stiffened, but he steeled himself and said directly, "You have no choice but to believe me. We're all on the verge of starvation. If it rains now, we can replant some other crops and make some money to get through this difficult time."
"Village chief, just say what you want to say."
Old Man Chi's face was somewhat gloomy.
It seems that the person with the ominous fate they were talking about is in his home.
The village chief said, "That's right. According to the master, as long as we perform a ritual to suppress this person's fate, it will rain in a few days!"
"The direction and time calculated by the master... happen to be your Tangtang."
April 4th.
Located in the southeast, its power resonates in all directions...
Both the location and the birth date match perfectly with Chi Tang.
The Chi family felt as if they had been struck by lightning!
Aunt Chi was so angry that her body trembled and her face turned ashen: "So, village chief, you mean to perform a ritual to suppress my daughter's fate?"
That resentment burst forth!
It couldn't be suppressed at all!
Accompanying the village chief was Old Man Chi's second younger brother, Chi Yongyuan!
Chi Yongyuan looks a lot like Old Man Chi; they are both thin and dark-skinned.
However, Chi Yongyuan's eyes are even smaller, and they are somewhat triangular, giving him a rather fierce appearance.
At this moment, Chi Yongyuan stood up to speak for the village chief: "Sister-in-law, don't you not believe in these fortune-telling sayings? If that's the case, then it's fine to have a master perform a ritual."
The two families have never had a good relationship.
They've always kept to themselves and never interfered with each other.
What's wrong with today?
"Bullshit! It's fine to perform rituals, but why don't you go and suppress your son's fate? You dog, get out of my house!"
Aunt Chi cursed loudly, her chest heaving violently.
The woman's voice was incredibly high-pitched, and her throat instantly became hoarse.
“Which of you hasn’t drunk water from my well? This is a natural disaster! I don’t even know if my family will have water again, but out of consideration for our fellow villagers, I’ll still let everyone come to my house to fetch water.”
"What? She just drank my water, which saved her life, and now she's trying to harm my daughter?"
"Pah! You two heartless bastards! If you ask me, if natural disasters are truly caused by human error, then it's because of you bunch of heartless idiots!"
"You can't be a good person! I'll remember that! If I ever try to be a good person again, may I die a horrible death!"
May they die a horrible death!
After screaming, Aunt Chi was covered in sweat and collapsed to the ground, exhausted.
Sister-in-law Chi and Sister-in-law Chi quickly pulled and supported their mother-in-law.
The village chief and the others were already too ashamed to face by Aunt Chi's words.
Can……
I think of the cracked fields, and the gaunt faces of the children in the village…
The village chief gritted his teeth and decided to let him be the bad guy!
"If the master performs the ritual and it really rains, then everyone will be happy. If it doesn't rain... then you can do whatever you want with me!"
"I don't want to bully anyone, I just want everyone in our village to survive!"
The old village chief's cane thudded loudly, and the muscles on his face tensed up with excitement.
The words "survive" have been echoing in everyone's hearts.
The crowd, who had just been silent, also shamelessly tried to persuade the Chi family.
What if?
What if it actually works?
We can't just stand by and watch the whole village die of thirst and starvation, can we?
One shouldn't be too selfish.
A series of profound principles tightly bound the Chi family together.
This angered the Chi family, but they couldn't utter a sound.
