The female supporting role is dedicated to cultivating immortality

Chapter 15 The victory of the innocent heart

He doesn't have the resources to practice, so he won't be blamed for his slow progress in practice.Pei Ruxi has resources, and her father and eighth uncle will definitely keep an eye on Pei Ruxi, urge her to practice every day, and may even lock her in the room to prevent her from relaxing at all.

Pei Chenglie smiled even more happily as he imagined Pei Ruxi being locked up and asked to practice.

The good boy couldn't guess what he was thinking, but the boy who was happy just playing guessed it. He hit Pei Chenglie on the shoulder with his fist and shouted: "I was the one who said I didn't want resources in the first place! You are so shameless and you are taking my words!" "

"Abao, why are you hitting me?" Pei Chenglie was dumbfounded, and then became furious, "If you hit me, I'll hit you too!"

The two boys started fighting without caring whether the situation was appropriate.

Some of the other children clapped their hands and cheered while watching, and some followed Pei Ruxi and Pei Asi and spoke their true feelings, letting the clan know that they were unwilling to accept unfair treatment.

When Pei Ruxi saw Pei Chenglie and Abao fighting, he felt a little helpless. He released six ropes made of clear water and pulled them apart, saying, "Don't fight here."

"He hit me!" Pei Chenglie complained habitually.

"He stole what I had to say!" Abao would also complain.

Pei Ruxi did not comment on who was right or wrong, and said: "We can't fight now. If you insist on fighting, I can only tie you up."

Pei Chenglie, who had been kidnapped, immediately gave in and said: "I won't fight!" He instigated, "He still wants to fight with me, so tie him up quickly and don't let him move!"

Abao, who had seen Pei Chenglie being tied up with his own eyes, did not dare to confront Pei Ruxi. He glared at Pei Chenglie and said, "Don't talk nonsense, I won't fight!"

Pei Chenglie wanted to quarrel with him, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw that the magic trick Pei Ruxi pinched seemed to be a speech-gapping technique. His heart trembled and his mouth immediately closed firmly.

Abao was smart and kept quiet when he saw Pei Chenglie shut up.

Pei Ruxi, who had silently threatened the two boys, released his spell and asked the other children to quiet down.

She looked at the patriarch Pei Jinlun and said, "Chief, we have basically said what we wanted to say. Now it is your turn to give us, the confused children, a reasonable explanation on behalf of the clan."

Why does the clan talk about fairness and justice, but treat girls, boys, and direct descendants differently when it comes to reducing resources?
Facing the eyes of Pei Ruxi and other children who would not give up until they got an explanation, Pei Jinlun's apology became more clear, and there was also a kind of anger that his majesty was offended.

Pei Jinlun asked Pei Ruxi, "Didn't your father tell you? You have to accept the clan's decision."

Pei Ruxi said: "Father said that the clan law also requires us to accept the clan's arrangements. But the clan leader, the clan law also clearly states that if we think the clan's decision is unreasonable, we can raise doubts." She said in a solemn tone, " Please ask the clan leader to clear up our doubts, and don’t judge him right or left."

Clear up doubts?How to resolve doubts reasonably?
Are you saying that the clan is so patriarchal?Is this how you bully the side branch?
As the leader of the Pei clan, Pei Jinlun may be a little confused, but he knows what not to say.

The patriarchal system requires boys and girls to be treated equally. If the patriarch admits that the clan favors boys over girls, how can he ask girls who are treated differently to contribute to the clan after today?

Girls will say that the clan gives more to boys than to them, and boys should pay more than they do.

The patriarchal clan claims that there is no distinction between direct lineage and side branches of the Pei clan. If the patriarch admits that the direct lineage is nobler than the side branches, how can he ask the side branches who are treated differently to contribute to the clan after today?

The side branch will say that the clan has given more to the direct line than to them, and the direct line should contribute more than them.

Pei Jinlun could not explain the doubts raised by Pei Ruxi and others, so he decisively asked Pei Xiangrong for help: "Second brother, you are familiar with the clan law, and you will answer them."

Pei Xiangrong, who expected that Pei Jinlun would ask for help, looked at Pei Ruxi and others calmly and said, "Boys and girls are both members of the Pei clan. It is indeed inappropriate for the clan to reduce the training resources given to girls." He turned around and asked. Pei Jinlun, "Clan leader, how about reducing the training resources for boys by one-sixth, and the training resources for girls from one-third to one-sixth?"

"This..." Pei Jinlun hesitated and did not immediately agree or deny.

"This is not allowed!" Pei Jinfan, who proposed cutting resources, spoke first, pointing at Pei Ruxi, "Second brother, you don't care about your daughter! Look at her, bringing a group of people here to cause trouble, there are no rules at all! If I were you, I would slap her twice on the face, and I'm sure she would be more obedient than a dog!"

The unruly Pei Ruxi looked at Pei Jinfan, remembered his appearance and what he said, and said using amplification: "The patriarchal law does not stipulate that I cannot come here to raise doubts. My brothers and sisters and I can stand here, It was the clan leader who allowed us to come in. You are not the clan leader or an elder, so you have no position to accuse me of being unruly."

She undoubtedly hit Pei Jinfan's sore spot. Pei Jinfan raised his hand and slapped him with a translucent khaki palm. He said angrily: "Listen, what a sharp-tongued junior dares to attack an elder! I have to stand for him today." Your father can’t teach you a lesson!”

He slapped Pei Ruxi's face, but an eggshell-shaped defensive restraint appeared on Pei Ruxi's body, blocking the slap.

She wears a forehead ornament given by her ancestors. The forehead ornament is a defensive weapon. Even if Pei Xiangrong, who is in the early stage of foundation building, takes action, he will not be able to break her defense for a while, let alone a mere slap.

Pei Jinfan, who failed to get slapped in the face, finally noticed that Pei Ruxi's forehead ornament was a magic weapon. At first, he thought that Pei Xiangrong was generous and pampered his daughter, but Pei Ruxi didn't leave the house, so why did Pei Xiangrong give her a fine magic weapon?
Then, he saw Pei Ruxi's provocative eyes, and suddenly remembered that this girl had a seventh degree of water spirit root. After being promoted to the second level of Qi Refining, she would receive a magic weapon given by her ancestors.

The ancestors doted on her.

So Pei Jinlun tolerated her bringing a group of children to the ancestral hall to ask for an explanation, and did not scold her sharply when she embarrassed her.

Pei Ruxi was confident and said to Pei Jinfan: "This defensive weapon was given to me by my ancestors. You can teach me a lesson by breaking the defense."

The question is, do you dare to break my defensive restrictions?
Her eyes were filled with questions and answers: You don't dare.

Pei Jinfan understood the look in her eyes and was so angry that he smashed the table with his palm and scolded Pei Xiangrong: "You didn't teach your daughter to respect her elders?"

Pei Xiangrong said: "Teach me, you also saw that my daughter said hello to her elders when she came in. You wanted to teach her on my behalf, but I didn't stop you, and my daughter didn't let you teach her, right? She She is very well-behaved, otherwise our ancestors would not have specially given her a magic weapon."

Who can refute the good behavior approved by our ancestors?
Pei Jinfan couldn't.

Neither could Pei Jinfan's biological father, the Sixth Uncle, who was in the foundation building stage.

But Pei Jinfan refused to let Pei Ruxi go, and said viciously: "Brother, these little guys don't practice well. Instead, they come to the ancestral hall in a swarm to hinder our discussion of clan affairs. If we don't punish them severely, they may turn upside down in the future!" "I allowed them to come in. They asked the clan for an explanation and they did not violate the clan's laws." Pei Jinlun was happy to see Pei Jinfan being defeated by Pei Ruxi, and said with a smile, "Punishment cannot be done casually, there must be a reason."

"They offended the elders, so we won't give them resources this year!" Pei Jinfan said.

After he finished speaking, Pei Yuxia and others cast angry glances at him, all of them holding a grudge against him.

Pei Jinlun also felt impatient. He sealed Pei Jinfan's mouth with a silence spell, not forgetting to stabilize his body, and said: "You don't understand the clan rules, so don't mess around in front of everyone."

Pei Jinfan was forced to remain silent.

Pei Yuxia in the hall almost laughed out loud as she watched Pei Jinfan's eyes move wildly, but could not move or speak.

Pei Chenglie couldn't hold back his laughter, and neither could Abao.

The two boys laughed, but Pei Jinlun stopped them mid-laughing.

Pei Jinlun said: "Quiet!"

He actually wanted to laugh, but he held it back and said in a deep voice: "Just now, the second elder suggested that the clan's training resources for boys should be reduced by one-sixth this year, and the training resources for girls should be reduced by one-third. One out of six. I decided to take the advice. Any objections, girls?"

"I have no objection!" Pei Yuxia was the first to express her stance.

"Me neither!" Pei Asi said.

Pei Xiangrong's suggestion is beneficial to the girls, and the girls generally have no objections.

Pei Jinlun unlocked Pei Chenglie and Abao's silence spell and asked: "Do the boys have any objections?"

Pei Chenglie said nonchalantly: "No! I've already said that it's okay to give all my resources to Pei Ruxi."

Abao punched him again and said angrily: "You shameless thief! I first said I didn't want resources, and you took my words again!"

Pei Jinlun forcibly separated Abao and Pei Chenglie who were about to fight, and asked Xiaozhi: "What about you? Are you willing to give up one-sixth of your resources to the girl?"

Xiaozhi looked hesitant and did not answer immediately.

This is exactly the reaction Pei Jinlun and Pei Xiangrong want to see: the clan must cut resources. The fairness demanded by girls requires boys to give up their interests. Are boys willing to give up?

They were forcing Xiaozhi to choose between fairness and profit, and they were also beating up the senior branch officials sitting in the hall.

Once the collateral branch demands that the clan treat the collateral branch and the direct line fairly, it will inevitably affect the interests of the direct line, making the clan leader and the sixth uncle who are from the direct line dissatisfied.

Assuming that Pei Xiangrong is willing to stand up for the sidelines, how can he alone defeat the two foundation-building monks joining forces?

However, adults will scheming for profit, but children are innocent.

The child has the courage to come to the ancestral hall to ask for an explanation, and also has an innocent heart that pursues fairness and justice.

Xiaozhi said: "I..."

The words started, but before the words "no objection" were uttered, Pei Ruxi interrupted, "Don't be in a hurry to express your position. I have something to ask the clan leader and elders for advice."

"it is good."

Xiaozhi followed Pei Ruxi's instructions without hesitation.

Pei Ruxi raised his head and asked the clan leader sitting on the main seat: "The resources for cultivation come from the clan allocation. There is no question of whether the clan is willing to give it to others, only whether the clan is willing to give it to others! The clan leader asked Brother Xiaozhi if he was willing to give up the resources. This Does this sentence mean that the clan refuses to provide resources to the girls? If not, please change the clan leader’s words.”

After her reminder, Xiao Zhi suddenly understood, and Pei Yuxia also knew why Xiao Zhi hesitated. The two looked like they had been deceived by adults and glared at the patriarch.

We trust you so much, and you actually sow discord between us? !

The clan leader touched his chin in embarrassment, and then heard Pei Ruxi say: "Clan leader, don't forget that the side branches and direct lineages also have the problem of unfair resource distribution."

Pei Jinlun has not forgotten this matter, but the decision to cut [-]% of the resources of the branch cannot be changed unless the ancestors speak out.

Pei Jinlun looked at Pei Xiangrong, then at his sixth uncle who was concentrating with his eyes closed, and said thoughtfully: "Niece, you are not yet 14 years old. Regardless of your gender and origin, the resources given to you by the clan this year will only be reduced by one-sixth. , to be discussed next year.”

Is this the clan's compromise with us?
Pei Yuxia jumped up with joy and cheered: "We won! We won!"

"Not yet." Pei Ruxi said calmly. She stared at the clan leader, "Excuse me, clan leader, will the clan treat us differently next year or maintain fairness and justice this year? What about the year after that? What about the year after that? What about many years to come?"

"Don't worry, from this year to the tenth year from now, the clan will remain fair and just." Pei Jinlun promised, "What happens in ten years will be decided in ten years."

Xiaozhi breathed a sigh of relief.

Pei Yuxia, Pei Asi and others could not control their excitement and cheered for the hard-won fair treatment.

Pei Ruxi, who led everyone to seek justice, also relaxed and smiled happily.
