"You're a bitch and you're still talking back. I won't beat you bitch to death until I'm healed!"

Luo Shi ignored him, took a towel, wet it, and came over to help him wipe the blood on his back.

"Hiss!" Xu Laosi shouted, "Be gentle! You lazy woman, do you think you are wiping the table? Are you taking revenge on me? Ah? I don't need you to wipe it, Sanlang?"

Sanlang, Wulang and Liulang were all watching at the door. When he heard the cry, Sanlang hurriedly said: "We went to play with our sixth brother!" After that, he picked up Liulang and ran away together with Wulang.

"Hey, hey..." Xu Laosi wanted to call them to turn around, but his three sons didn't look back and ran very fast, so he couldn't help but cursed angrily, "Damn it, you little bastards, they are not good things at all!"

***

The Xu family ancestral temple is naturally located in Xujia Village. The Xu family is a common surname here, including Li Zheng, who also has the surname Xu. Counting hundreds of years ago, it is possible that most of the whole village was one family.

The old Xu family, where Xu Jiaojiao lives, has an unusual status in the village. They proposed to open an ancestral temple now, and the elders immediately agreed.

Li Zheng and more than a dozen elderly clan elders, followed by the entire Xu family and other clan members, totaling thirty or forty people, arrived at the ancestral temple.

Xu Jiaojiao looked at the ancestral hall. It was not big. From the outside, it looked like an ordinary farmer's family. Compared with their current house, it was much smaller. There was a small porch, large wooden eaves, and a shiny black door.

There are couplets on both sides, on the left is "The merits of the ancestors will last forever", and on the right is "The sons are filial, the sons are virtuous and the world is long". The paper has turned white and the words on it are also mottled.

Li Zheng opened the door and entered into a large room.

There are three lines of characters posted on the back wall of the house. The middle one is "Heaven and Earth Lord, Prince and Master", on the right is "Nine Heavens East Chef Ming", and on the left is "Xu Family Hall Ancestor".

There is a large niche in the house, and a cabinet is placed in the niche. Inside are the ancestral tablets, which are enshrined in order, the tablets of Gaozu Kao, Gaozu's concubine and Xiankao, and Xianconcubine. There is a short long table in front of the niche for placing sacrifices.

Li Zheng took the lead, offered incense and knelt down to worship.

First, worship our Eternal Heaven, secondly, worship our Daxiang Kingdom, and thirdly, worship our ancestors!

Everyone who comes must worship.

Therefore, there were relatively few young and middle-aged people here this time. In addition to the elderly, the majority were children. This is because during worship ceremonies, there are usually some fruits and pastries as offerings, which can be eaten after the ceremony.

After paying homage, Yuri Zheng took out a piece of red paper that had been written in advance, "The 26th Daughter Xu Jiaojiao and Liao Qing" and pasted it on the pillar to show that she was reporting in front of her ancestors.

At the same time, it was noted on the genealogy that the general idea was that on a certain day of a certain year and a certain month, Xu Jiaojiao, the 26th daughter of the Xu family, married Liao Qing, etc.

Xu Jiaojiao and Liao Qing naturally followed the local customs, followed the instructions of their elders, and knelt down one by one. The process was solemn and solemn. Liao Qing officially became a member of the Xu family.

After this was done, Mrs. Xu Zhang grabbed Xu Laosi's ears and pulled him to kneel down in front of the ancestral tablet.

Xu Laosi originally thought about taking a chance to escape, but he didn't expect that Mrs. Xu Zhang kept staring at him and failed to escape.

"Kneel down! Repent in front of your ancestors today!"

Some elders don’t understand, “What’s going on? Is it virtuous?”

Xu Youde couldn't explain clearly that Xu Laosi added water to the wine. This would have a bad influence. He could just say that Xu Laosi was restless and spent twenty or thirty dollars on the money that the four-bedroom family had worked hard for several years.

The couple stole out and failed, not even a single word was left behind, which made the wife, children, and other ladies at home half angry to death.

When everyone heard this, they felt sad and sad.

There is so much silver, it will be lost if you say it will be used.

Li Zheng took the lead and said, "This kind of behavior is unacceptable, absolutely unacceptable! How can this be done? We descendants of the Xu family will all be ruined like this. Sooner or later, the Xu family will decline. Today we are practicing family law here, okay, let's see

Come on, let him admit his mistake properly."

"You are virtuous. The fourth child of your family really needs to be woken up. It is unseemly to spend so much money on the family, so as not to make big mistakes in the future."

"My ancestors in the Xu family have been responsible for their duties for generations. This time, I should take it as a lesson and a wake-up call for these boys. It is also considered that Dagui's beating is not in vain..."

The clan elders almost all knew the virtues of Xu Laosi, and they immediately criticized him and used Xu Laosi as a negative example. Some even pulled their grandchildren and started preaching directly.

Even though Xu Laosi was used to being shameless and shameless, now his face felt like it was on fire.

I would like to ask whether it is more embarrassing to go from house to house with the whole family to watch, or to go from house to house with the whole village to watch.

In particular, he usually thinks that he still has a bit of face in front of the villagers, because when he was assisting his sister in making loquat paste and managing the winery, many people in the village fawned over him intentionally or unintentionally.

Now I have lost all my face.

I really regret that I asked for help in Liao Qing’s name.

Xu Youde came over, holding a thorn whip in his hand, and said, "The fourth son of my family has made a big mistake, and today I will publicly enforce the family law. Please bear witness from all the clan elders!" After saying this, he struck hard with the whip.

"ah!"

Although Xu Laosi was well prepared, he still screamed in pain.

"You still have the nerve to scream!" Xu Youde whipped him again, "I'll let you suffer more today to avoid losing your life later!"

Ba! Ba!...

The whip kept falling.

The old people watched quietly, while the children secretly took some melon and fruit snacks and ate them while looking at them. Some exclaimed and some laughed.

Xu Jiaojiao was not interested in watching the fourth child being beaten. Now she looked at the puddles of water on the ground. Then she looked at the roof and found that it was all thatched. Over time, water leakage was inevitable.

"Master Satsuma, is this place usually taken care of?" Satsuma was standing next to her and asked casually.

"Ah, my dearest daughter, this is my Xu family's ancestral hall. There are no adults here. Just call me uncle, haha." Li Zheng smiled, "No one usually looks after this place, so I just have time to order someone to tidy it up.

"He followed Xu Jiaojiao's gaze and asked, "Is that thatched roof? It's like this. At that time, the clansmen didn't have any money, so it was pretty good to be able to build such a house. You don't have to spend money to repair the thatched roof.

Change it every year or two and it will be fine."

"That's very troublesome. Besides, if it gets wet in here, many things will get damp and will be damaged." Xu Jiaojiao smelled the smell inside and felt a little moldy. She thought for a while and said, "Today, our Liao Qing

According to the ancestral genealogy, the fourth brother is also bothering to be an expert here. I'm sorry to bother everyone. How about this? I'll pay for it, replace the roof with blue tiles, and repair the walls by the way. The clan will find a way to provide manpower. What do you think?

"

"That's great!" Li Zheng was pleasantly surprised, "We are all members of the same family, so there is no trouble. If you don't say this, we are happy to have such a good young man like Liao Qing join our Xu family's ancestral tree, and so are our ancestors.
