People in Terra, poor and weak but invincible

Chapter 951

Another new day.

As the morning light spread across Moushan Village, there were two rumors.

First, Fang Xiaoshi is about to change his surname and completely become a member of Moushan Village.

The second is that Fang Xiaoshi and the official named Wei Yanwu were not actually close. Fang Xiaoshi simply bribed Wei Yanwu with money.

Compared to the first rumor, the second one obviously spread faster and had more changes.

The hunter was excitedly called to a meeting by his neighbors early in the morning. Fang Xiaoshi was left alone at home, chopping wood in the yard with nothing to do.

"Fang Xiaoshi!"

A childish voice suddenly came from outside the courtyard wall.

Fang Xiaoshi turned his head and found that it was a village child two years younger than him who was lying on the courtyard wall, looking at him with curiosity.

"What's the matter?" Fang Xiaoshi was puzzled.

Everything he experienced yesterday was still fresh in his mind, and he didn't think that this kid was here to play with him.

The child said mysteriously:

"I already know everything, you don't have to hide it anymore."

"What did I hide?" Fang Xiaoshi's brows gradually frowned.

"You paid for that man named Wei Yanwu, didn't you?" The child laughed proudly, "You spent half of the money you earned by cheating people all at once. Someone saw it last night."

"Neuropathy."

Fang Xiaoshi was not one of those empty talkers. He just scolded coldly and turned around to continue chopping wood.

But the child did not leave because of the scolding. He leaned on the wall and continued to ask:

"Fang Xiaoshi, how much money do you have left?"

Fang Xiaoshi was too lazy to pay attention to the gossiping kid. He piled the chopped firewood under the courtyard wall, turned around, put on the basket, and prepared to go to the west end of the village to buy some fodder from a family who also raised pack animals.

Halfway through, the child who was pestering Fang Xiaoshi saw that he got no response, so he quickly turned around and ran away.

But Fang Xiaoshi found that more people on the street were looking at him with strange eyes.

He subconsciously quickened his pace and went to the family to ask to buy fodder.

The other party didn't say any nonsense like that kid, but suddenly asked Fang Xiaoshi before he left:

"Are you really going to keep that beast of burden? It's not cheap to keep a beast of burden."

Fang Xiaoshi casually expressed his thoughts:

"My family also has farmland, and my father is not in good health. Having a beast of burden would help him to relieve his stress."

"Very good, very filial."

"I'm leaving now. Thanks for the fodder."

Fang Xiaoshi said goodbye to the other person and walked back home with a basket full of fodder on his back, but he was stopped again on the way.

"Fang Xiaoshi, did you know that your father promised the village chief a good thing?" the man asked with a smile.

After saying this, he did not wait for Fang Xiaoshi to answer and took the initiative to announce the answer:

"You will also be included in the family tree of Moushan Village. From now on, you will be called Zhou Xiaoshi."

"Why?!" Fang Xiaoshi was shocked.

"After all, you did a good deed this time, so this is a reward from the village."

"Who wants this kind of reward?" Fang Xiaoshi said anxiously, "My name is Fang Xiaoshi. I'm Fang Xiaoshi when I'm alive and I'll be Fang Xiaoshi when I die. Why do you want to change my name?"

"How can you still be so ungrateful, kid...Hey, where are you going?"

The man hadn't even finished his words of lecturing when Fang Xiaoshi turned around and ran away.

By the time Fang Xiaoshi arrived at the ancestral temple exhausted, the meeting had already ended. He only heard that the village chief had finalized the change of surname.

The hunter stood in the crowd, listening to the village chief announce the outcome, and was then surrounded by applause of congratulations.

"I won't agree!"

Fang Xiaoshi's angry shout interrupted all the noise in the ancestral temple.

The relief on the village chief's face froze suddenly. The hunter slowly turned his hunched back and looked at him quietly with eyes that Fang Xiaoshi could not understand. The villagers around him kept exchanging glances with a bit of anger on their faces.

For the first time, the hunter did not scold Fang Xiaoshi out loud. He just walked over step by step to Fang Xiaoshi's side.

Then, he turned around and looked at the village chief and the villagers.

"Please forgive me, I will go back and talk to Xiao Shi first."

After the hunter finished speaking, he ignored the reactions of the village chief and others and half-forced Fang Xiaoshi to leave.

After the father and son left, the atmosphere in the ancestral temple became lively again.

"Village chief, this little stone is still a bit too bad, it needs to be beaten."

"Don't say that. Xiaoshi has done a great job this time. Don't let the relationship get damaged."

"Speaking of which, I'm curious about something. Can that guy named Wei Yanwu really decide something as important as the number of places on the Chidao Road?... Village chief, what do you think?"

When the village chief heard the last man's question, his eyelids jumped.

He immediately said seriously: "Don't question Lord Wei. His background is definitely not simple. I have the ability to judge this."

The person who was speaking saw the village chief angry for the first time, so he immediately smiled and kept quiet.

On the other side, Fang Xiaoshi was brought back home by the hunter. As soon as he entered the house, Fang Xiaoshi couldn't help but yelled:

"Dad, why did you agree to something like that?"

The hunter did not answer, but pulled over a wooden chair and sat on it, remaining silent for a long time.

Fang Xiaoshi suddenly felt a little flustered, and his voice slowly lowered: "Dad, what happened?"

"...Xiao Shi, how is your relationship with Lord Wei?" the hunter suddenly asked.

"Just...let's just do that. The main thing is that I have a better relationship with the sect leader." Fang Xiaoshi hesitated.

"metropolitan?"

"That's Lupert, who's called Qi Xiaobai."

"That's it..."

Just when Fang Xiaoshi wanted to ask, the hunter spoke again: "Tell me the truth, how much money do you have now?"

"I do not know either."

Fang Xiaoshi took out the pocket from his arms.

When the hunter opened it, his breathing stopped instantly.

The total amount of jewelry is actually not that large, and it is not enough to help a village or a group of people to forcibly rewrite their destiny, but for a rural family, it is too much.

"Have you used these things?" the hunter asked.

"The Sect Master took some away at the banquet last night."

"What does he mean?" The hunter was almost engulfed by the gloom in his heart.

"Dad, what's going on?" Fang Xiaoshi's brows also furrowed, "And the matter of me changing my last name..."

"The change of last name is no longer important."

The hunter interrupted Fang Xiaoshi and tied his pocket again: "The point is that you showed off your wealth last night and someone saw it. Rumors have spread in the village. No one can guarantee how many eyes are watching our family.

In the meeting just now, many people were testing me overtly or covertly. They thought I didn’t understand, but after all, I had worked outside before, and I had seen that kind of look…”

Fang Xiaoshi realized the implication of his father's words. He was young after all, so he suddenly panicked.

The hunter stood up again and said, "Before the people at the ancestral temple leave completely, I will donate the money to the village chief so that he can use it to renovate the ancestral temple."

"But……"

"Listen, we can't keep this money!"

The hunter's tone became tough for the first time, and he quickly left home with his bag.

He did not intentionally hide the bag in his hand, allowing it to fall into the eyes of other people in the village.

When the hunter arrived at the ancestral temple, the meeting had ended and most of the village representatives were ready to leave. Only the village chief was still in the ancestral temple dealing with the aftermath.

Seeing the hunter running back in a hurry with an eye-catching bag in his hand, the villagers who were about to leave slowed down their pace at the same time.

In front of everyone present, the hunter handed the bag to the village chief, who opened it and took a look. His eyes widened in shock.

"This is used to renovate the ancestral temple." The hunter said bluntly.

The village chief looked at the hunter's expression, roughly guessed what had happened, thought for a moment, and nodded in agreement.

The bag was handed over to the village chief in full view of everyone.

The hunter finally calmed down a little and walked towards his home with a hunched back.

After the other villagers dispersed, the village chief closed the door of the ancestral temple again, and Qi Yan once again emerged from behind the ancestor statue.

"Fang Hunter is indeed a talented person. He may be a coward, but he is decisive and efficient." He commented with a nonchalant smile, "Unfortunately, in my opinion, his cowardice will only become the root cause for others to take advantage of him."

Chen didn't pay attention to these things. He walked out from behind the ancestor statue with a worried look on his face:

"Why was that bag of jewels exposed? I am very worried about Fang Xiaoshi's safety now."

"I did it." Qi Yan frankly admitted his evil deeds.

"Are you deliberately tempting the greed of the villagers in Moushan Village?" Chen was immediately furious.

"Yes, I admit that my actions this time were despicable enough that even Black Snake would call me an expert if he saw me like that."

Qi Yan still had that smiling expression on his face: "But it's better than forcibly suppressing all the hidden dangers. Once a wound appears, if you don't bear the pain to disinfect it and just wrap it with gauze, it will sooner or later become inflamed and rotten. When it breaks out again, it won't be so simple."

"You say I'm superior, but what have you done yourself?!" Chen was so angry that he wanted to rush up and punch Qi Yan in the face.

“Come on, I’m cheating. I’m in a God’s perspective from a high place.”

Qi Yan spread his hands: "I can tell you clearly that if we don't take care of the matter in Moushan Village, someone will die in the future."

"you……"

"He is still a young life with a kind heart and full of ambitions."

"I……"

"Even the people in the whole village will become hateful because of greed, and people will want to kill them with a knife."

"..."

Seeing that Chen's face turned pale and blue after being criticized by Qi Yan, Qiu Bai quickly stood between the two of them.

"Stop arguing. If Qi Yan really knew something in advance and made corresponding arrangements, it would be a good thing."

After Qiu Bai comforted Chen, he turned his head and looked at Qi Yan: "But let's not talk about whether these methods are despicable or not. The key point is whether the results will get out of control and cannot be resolved?"

Qi Yan waved his hand and said, "Wei Yanwu will help step on the brakes at the critical moment. He is responsible for solving current problems, and I am responsible for solving future problems. We have a good cooperation, okay?

Although I was suspected of causing trouble, I also saw that Wei Yanwu's methods were too gentle, so I complemented him a little."

Chen seemed to have heard some great joke:

"You said he was gentle? You don't have a fever, do you?"

"Don't worry, we'll know the outcome tomorrow."
