The female supporting role is dedicated to cultivating immortality

Chapter 186: Fighting for power and profit, no one bothers himself

As the person in charge of the warehouse, Fifth Uncle Pei's status in the ancestral home was not low. Many people would rather make the clan leader angry than dare to make him unhappy.After all, the county magistrate is not as good as taking charge now. If you offend him, what will happen if he doesn't issue monthly regulations?What should I do if I deduct monthly fees?
Therefore, Uncle Pei Wu has been living a very happy life.

He is not mean either and basically does not interfere with the monthly routine.

Everyone has a good impression of him.

Even if the ancestor he was loyal to was replaced by Pei Ruxi, few people suggested that Pei Ruxi should be replaced by someone else to manage the warehouse.He even became an elder, with a higher status and more respect. The past year has been a happy one.

At this moment, he was talking to Yinggu, but she pushed him away!

At that moment, he felt humiliated and anger surged onto his face.

Yinggu was impatient to talk to him!She despises him!
She must have guessed that he came to her to ask her to hand over resources to the clan!She refused to hand it over!
Because she established the foundation.

As Pei Jinsheng said, she went crazy!

But he calmed down quickly.

Not only was Aunt Ying deeply trusted by Pei Ruxi, she was also a foundation-building monk and his biological aunt.

If she pushed him, he would get angry with her. His daughter Yuxia would laugh at him if she knew about it, but he was so angry that he couldn't say "please" to Yinggu.

Seeing her stop and not look back, Fifth Uncle Pei's anger increased a little more. He expected that Aunt Ying would use him to scare the monkeys and pave the way for her future involvement in clan affairs.

"Gu Ying."

He strode over to her, taking care not to block her path.

She looks sideways.

Looking at her, he found that she had a somewhat colder temperament than when she went to Hongqiao Waterfall, and her eyes were firm and no longer indifferent.

What happened to her?
Doubts flashed in his mind, and Uncle Pei Wu said in a consultative tone:

"Talk while drinking tea? You're tired from the journey. You just got home and need to relax."

"Speak straight."

"Well, there are people coming and going here..."

Following Aunt Ying who was walking forward, Uncle Pei was dissatisfied: "What happened to you today? I didn't provoke you to mess with you, so you are angry at me?"

Yinggu asked: "Why was Ah Si seriously injured?"

Uncle Pei Wu couldn't answer: "...I am in charge of the warehouse, not the eighth brother who teaches children."

Yinggu asked: "So you are not Ah Si's elder? Ah Si is not the future of our Pei family?"

Thinking that he was her nephew, she said bluntly: "Except for Yuxia and Xixi, no one in the ancestral home cares about Ah Si, including me. I left the ancestral home half a month ago, and I have been at home longer than before. You actually didn’t notice Ah Si’s rapid weight loss!”

Thinking that he asked about Pei Asi's condition without even looking at Pei Asi, Fifth Uncle Pei suddenly understood.

He seemed too cold and too deliberate, so Aunt Ying would get angry at him.

only……

Was she really annoyed by his indifference, or was she just looking for an excuse to push him away?
"As elders, both you and I need to reflect." Yinggu told him as she walked, "Sooner or later, Xi Xi will leave here, go to the sect, and go to a broader world. We can't keep her, and we can't rely on her blindly. , let alone become a drag on her. Don’t forget, Xixi is still a child.”

"You can't treat your little ancestor as an ordinary child." Uncle Pei Wu took the opportunity to speak, "She gained so many resources in the secret realm, and gave them to you to compile and hand over to the clan. It can be seen that she sincerely hopes that the clan will grow and develop. She appointed me to manage the clan treasury because she trusted me, and I must not let down her expectations!"

Stopping, he said to Ying Gu: "You took a trip to Hongqiao Waterfall for me. Thank you for your hard work. Please hand over the account books and resources to me as soon as possible. I want to complete the handover before dark."

However, Yinggu didn't stop: "Did Pei Jinsheng ask you to come to me?"

Reluctantly chasing after him, Uncle Pei said, "You are overthinking! Xixi trusted you and entrusted you with the resources for safekeeping. When you return home, you have to hand over the resources to the clan's treasury. As for how the resources are allocated, we have to follow the clan's arrangements."

"Whose arrangement?" Yinggu sneered, "Everything about the clan is decided by people! Stop using the clan to pressure me!"

"You have to listen to the arrangements of the little ancestor, right?" Uncle Pei Wu controlled his emotions, "If the resources are not given to the clan treasury, are you deliberately going against the little ancestor?"

"Listen, the clan can't suppress me, so you bring out the little ancestor to scare me."

Pei Yingying looked at her nephew: "I used to look down on you. I thought you were like a dog at the feet of my ancestors. You knelt down to please him and picked up the bones he threw on the ground to eat. In the past, I was kind and didn't care about you being a dog. I kept you, you How to repay her? You don't respect her and use her as a cover!"

There was a buzzing in his ears, and Uncle Pei was furious.

"You!" He pointed at Yinggu, his fingers trembling, "How can you talk like this! I am a clan elder, and you actually humiliate me?!"

"What a fool, you don't allow others to tell the truth?" Yinggu folded her hands and said calmly, "There are people watching around. Dear elder, don't lose your composure."

In Uncle Pei's view, her actions, language and demeanor were full of ridicule.

Worried about his face, Uncle Pei lowered his voice, his anger burning: "Pei Yingying!" He read her name through gritted teeth and stared at her, "Don't go crazy here!"

"Who's crazy?" Yinggu's tone was calm and extraordinarily calm. "I can predict what you are thinking. Just like Pei Jinsheng, you covet the resources that Xixi obtained in the secret realm. Our ancestors treated you like a dog. Xixi promoted you, and you It's better, you're used to being a dog and don't know how to behave like a human being, so you bark at her, lest she doesn't teach you a lesson."

A similar warning was given to Pei Jinsheng by Uncle Pei Wu, just a quarter of an hour ago.

Thinking of his ancestors, his sixth uncle, and Pei Jinfan, Fifth Uncle Pei's body became cold, his anger was extinguished, and only fear remained.

Seeing him break into a cold sweat, Yinggu sneered: "You can do it yourself!"

she left.

The drizzle falling from the sky became denser and the dark clouds became thicker.

After staying where he was and getting soaked in the rain, Uncle Pei went to a nearby pavilion to face the cold wind and meditated silently.

Everyone else said that his little ancestor trusted him, but he was the only one who remembered that he had been loyal to his ancestors and was cautious in doing things, for fear of making mistakes.

One day Pei Ruxi finds him annoying and settles old scores with him. At least he can leave the show with dignity and not make the scene too ugly.In addition, the acting patriarch Pei Xiangrong followed Pei Ruxi's words that "clan should not be divided into direct lineage and side branches", demoted many direct lineage members and promoted side branches.

Uncle Pei, who was born in the direct line, was in charge of the vital warehouse. The side branch headed by Pei Xiangrong had always wanted to replace him.

They were staring at him every moment, like patient hunters waiting for their prey to relax their vigilance.

Pei Jinsheng, who encouraged him to find Yinggu, happened to be a side branch!It is still a side branch that has great opinions on the direct lineage.

Pei Xiangrong at least left a group of direct descendants in his ancestral home. Where is Pei Jinsheng?
He wanted to drive all the direct descendants out of the ancestral home, and he said plausibly: "The little ancestor is a side branch! Every one of you direct descendants is rebellious! Every day, I look forward to the old ancestor coming back to replace the little ancestor!"

Wiping away the cold rain falling on his face, Uncle Pei's eyes were gloomy: "I almost fell into Pei Jinsheng's trap! I have to take the Foundation Establishment Pill as soon as possible, otherwise I will be on tenterhooks from morning to night, how miserable it will be!"

Stepping into the rain and fog, he summoned Pei Zhili and asked about the dispute between Pei Jinsheng and Yinggu.

Pei Zhili was also the ancestor's dog, and Pei Wushu had some friendship with him.

not much.

Otherwise, Pei Zhili would have reminded him that Pei Jinsheng was unpredictable.

While waiting for Pei Zhili's reply, Fifth Uncle Pei considered that he was too weak to fight against Pei Xiangrong and others, so he sent a message to Yinggu to apologize, and invited her to have dinner at Zhenhuimei Restaurant, hoping that she would appreciate her.

He had invited her before and wanted to join forces with her to fight Pei Xiangrong, but he was politely rejected.

This time, he was sure she would agree.

He wasn't the only one who needed allies.

No matter what she wanted to do or what her plans were, she took the resources that Pei Ruxi gave to the clan and participated in the clan struggle, and was feared by Pei Xiangrong and others.

……

After looking at the communication talisman, Yinggu was on fire: "Idiot!"

Cultivation of immortality is perfunctory, and the best is intrigue. No wonder it has been unable to build a foundation.

The fourth aunt behind the table ignored what she heard. She opened the family tree and found the names of the five dead clan members. She wrote down the causes of their deaths and showed them to Aunt Ying: "Anything to add?"

"Do I need to write a pension?"

"Yes." The fourth aunt raised her eyes, "Has the clan discussed it?"

Whether or not to give a pension and how much to give is a matter for discussion. The pension will go to the clan treasury account and should not be taken lightly.

Yinggu took out the pension and pension slip, called the relatives waiting outside the ancestral hall, and said: "Fourth sister, please check and record it. On behalf of the clan, I will withdraw the pension from the things obtained during this trip and give it to the relatives of the sacrificed clan members."

Relatives wiped away tears and thanked her.

Given the clan's efficiency, I'm afraid we'll have to wait until next year to get the pension.

This speed is still fast.

In the days of our ancestors, it was not uncommon for people to die without receiving pensions for more than ten years.

Looking at Aunt Ying, the fourth aunt checked the pension against each of the four pension forms and took a pen to record it.

Foundation-building monks are qualified to represent the clan.

After receiving the pension, the relatives of the four families couldn't help being surprised: "G-give so much?"

"The amount of the pension is decided after I discuss it with everyone. My little ancestor nodded." Gu Ying comforted her, "From now on, if your family has difficulties, please come to me. I welcome you at any time."

After dealing with the relatives, Aunt Ying gave a gift to her fourth aunt: "The Linghua Tea from Tianyin Valley has a weak effect of delaying aging."

"Yingying is determined." The fourth aunt smiled and said, "I don't recommend you to wade into the muddy water. Now that you have established the foundation, the world is free for you, so why bother wallowing in this mire?"

"Isn't Xixi back?" Aunt Ying said. "As an elder, I can't protect her, but I can at least share her worries. There are also children in the clan such as Asi, Yuxia, and Xiaozhi. I can protect them now." , I will watch them grow up.”

The fourth aunt shook her head and commented: "It's just a waste of time." She went to make some scented tea and said, "Xiao Sheng, go to the dining hall and get a plate of cloud cake."

I opened the tea and smelled the aroma, it was just right.

Before waiting for Xiao Sheng's response, she looked at the maid busy at the side: "Where is the person?"

Xiao Sheng got a new job because of his relationship, and now he is running errands in the dining hall.

Hearing the maid say that the fourth aunt was thinking about him, he handed her the food box containing the cloud cakes and took the opportunity to squeeze her hand and play with it:
"I advise you to change places as soon as possible, so as not to miss your great years.

"Working in the dining hall is quite hard for me. In a few years I will work as a helper in the kitchen, and in a few more years I will be able to work as a cook. The future is bright!"

As he spoke, he warned: "Don't complain!"

Throwing away the maid's hand, he greeted his colleagues who had gone to the ward diligently, with a smile on his face:
“Is Fourth Miss’s appetite okay?

"The spiritual meal is made by Mr. 23 himself, and Miss Fourth will definitely like it.

"Have you met the little ancestor?

"I've never seen her before. Is she particularly powerful?..."

With her thoughts in mind, the maid returned to the ancestral hall and took out the cloud cake.

The scent of the brewed scented tea was overflowing, but the fourth aunt thought it was too fragrant and did not want to taste it.

She took the cloud cake and said, "Ruier, what did he say to you?"
