After time travel, I ate glutinous rice bran in ancient times

"Oh, Second Uncle, you are too partial!" Wang Youcai was so angry that his face turned red.

He stared at his uncle with indignation: "So, Wang Yugui doesn't have to pay a penny?"

"It's enough for him to just paint a few pictures, but I, I have to pay real money!"

"What do you mean he only needs to paint a few pictures? If you have the ability, you can paint too." After hearing this, the second uncle glared at Wang Youcai.

He added: "You are the one who told us that expensive paintings are valuable!"

"Why are you unwilling to buy it when I ask you to? Don't you want to build a temple for your ancestors?"

"Hey, second uncle, what are you talking about again? I have lent this empty house to our ancestors for temporary residence. How could I not want to build a ancestral hall for them?" Wang Youcai hurriedly said after hearing this.

He looked at his second uncle and said loudly, "I, I said that his paintings are valuable, so I have to buy them. How can this be justified?"

"Okay, okay." Wang Youcai was about to argue, but his second uncle waved his hand and shouted, interrupting him.

After looking at Wang Youcai, he said, "You don't have to bother with me anymore."

"For so many years, you have been asked to donate money to repair the ancestral hall for your ancestors, but you have always refused to do so."

"You won't be satisfied until your ancestral temple is destroyed!"

"Humph, what good will it do you if the ancestral temple collapses? Don't you think about how your eldest daughter Xiuying, who was so young, suddenly fell into the river and drowned?"

"Your second son-in-law died of illness not long after he got married!"

"Even your eldest grandson Dabao suddenly fell into a well and drowned two days ago."

"And your wife who died many years ago... Hey, uncle, I didn't want to talk about you."

"People keep dying in your family, don't you have any idea?"

"Ah? I, what do I know?" Wang Youcai grinned awkwardly.

The second uncle snorted: "Humph, that's all because you are disrespectful to your ancestors and have no filial piety."

"They live in good houses and eat well, but they let their ancestors live in the dilapidated ancestral hall, and they refuse to pay for repairing the ancestral hall."

"The ancestors in heaven are punishing you, and you haven't counted yet!"

"Tell me, since your father died and you took over the family business, have you done anything good for the clan?"

"When your father and grandfather were alive, although they were stingy, they were still willing to spend some money to repair the ancestral hall."

"Occasionally, I would help my fellow tribesmen, but you, on the other hand, not only don't you help your fellow tribesmen, you even ignore your ancestors."

"That's why you can't give birth to a son, and one of the sons-in-law you found died."

"Now you can't even have a grandson, and you're not willing to spend some money to buy expensive paintings so that the family can have money to repair the ancestral hall."

"Don't you think more about your little treasure? You really want to end your family lineage!"

Oh my goodness, Second Uncle’s attack was steady, accurate, ruthless, and a little poisonous!

The king was so rich that his face turned red with anger. Words like "having no sons" and "no descendants" were a taboo for him and no one dared to mention these words in front of him.

Before he could get angry, he heard an elder next to him say loudly: "Yes, Youcai, we have seen everything you did."

"On a daily basis, you are so rich and powerful that you don't take us elders in the tribe seriously."

"We didn't say anything about you, but look at you. Although your wife died a long time ago, you married two concubines in succession. Let alone a son, you can't even give birth to a daughter."

"You haven't counted the days yet, and you don't know how to do good deeds!"

"Second Uncle is right. Let alone asking you to buy an expensive painting, even if I ask you to pay forty taels of silver, that's what I should pay!"

"Yes, you also lost twenty valuable paintings. It's obvious that you took advantage of them, but you didn't even try to be nice. You're still arguing with us. It's really unreasonable!" Another elder also shouted angrily.

Wang Yugui smiled secretly: It seems that the elders have been accumulating resentment towards Wang Youcai for quite some time.

Wang Youcai blushed and looked at this elder, then that elder: "Oh, I, I say, elders, how can you say that to me?"

"People often say that you shouldn't hit someone in the face, and you shouldn't expose someone's shortcomings when you scold them. But you, every word you say is exposing my shortcomings and hitting me in the face!"

"Humph, you still know you have shortcomings, and you still know how to save face." The second uncle snorted again unceremoniously.

As he spoke, he tapped his cane, looked at Wang Youcai and said loudly: "Youcai, if you really don't want to buy expensive paintings, and don't want to spend forty taels of silver to repair the ancestral hall..."

"Uncle, I don't blame you. You don't have to pay a penny. It just so happens that our Wang family is offering sacrifices to our ancestors today."

"You, just leave our Wang family in front of our ancestors and clansmen!"

"I will cross out your entire family's 18 generations of ancestors from the family tree. You don't have any ancestors in your heart or eyes anyway."

Alas, after these words were spoken, the other elders nodded silently.

The clan members outside were very excited: "Yes, Second Uncle is right, people who don't respect their ancestors don't deserve to be in the family tree."

"Yes, he is so rich that he is reluctant to spend money on repairing the ancestral temple. What do we want him for? Kick him out of the Wang family tree."

"Yes, anyway, the king is rich and has no regard for his ancestors, and he doesn't look down on us poor people. Kick him out and we will build a temple for our ancestors ourselves!"

……

Oh, Wang Youcai felt uneasy after hearing this. Being kicked out of the family tree would be a life-threatening matter.

If I really get kicked out, not only will I be too ashamed to face my ancestors when I die, but how will I survive in Xiaowang Village in the future?

If this gets out, I won’t be able to live like a human being anymore!

"Second uncle, elders, please calm down." Wang Youcai was standing there awkwardly and anxiously when his son-in-law Chen Ergou suddenly squeezed into the room.

Wang Yugui heard from Xigu that Chen Ergou seemed like a different person since he escaped death last time.

First, he coaxed his wife, Miss Xiulan, into obedience, and then gradually won the favor of Wang Youcai.

Now, he really acts like half a master in Wang Youcai's family.

Chen Ergou looked at everyone and said, "How could my father not have ancestors in his heart?"

"He has been at home these past few days, worrying about the renovation of the ancestral hall."

Then he looked at everyone and said with a smile: "I heard it outside just now."

"I think my second uncle is right. My father should just buy Brother Yugui's paintings."

"Brother Yugui, please use the money from selling paintings to donate to the clan to repair the ancestral hall. My father and brother Yugui are doing our part for our ancestors and clan members!"

"I think it's great. Xiulan just said a few days ago that she wanted to have her portrait painted. Our little treasure has never had his portrait painted before."

"Brother Yugui is a famous painter in the city. We can't even invite him normally. So, we are really getting the upper hand!"

After Chen Ergou finished speaking, he pushed Wang Youcai who was confused beside him and said, "Dad, don't you think I'm right? Is that what you mean too?"

"Ah, yeah, that's right." Wang Youcai came back to his senses and nodded reluctantly.

Seeing that you are about to incur public anger and be kicked out of the family tree, you'd better step back as soon as possible.

As he said this, he coughed and forced a smile: "Hey, Second Uncle, all the elders..."

"I'm just discussing this with you, why are you all so angry?"

"I didn't say I couldn't afford the money. I just thought, well, forget it, whatever, let's do as you say, Second Uncle."

"As for me, I just bought twenty expensive paintings!"
