Chapter 50 New Dojo
Chapter 50 New Dojo
Hearing the people at the table greeting them, the old men nodded repeatedly:
"Okay, okay, everything is fine..."
"Stop standing, sit down..."
After hearing this, the young people dared not sit down anymore. They left the table one by one and then took the tables, chairs and benches to serve the old men:
"Third Master, please sit down first."
"Sixth Master, this is your..."
"..."
Seeing this scene, Uncle Jiu quickly spoke to Qiu Sheng:
"Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai, the two of you quickly go make a pot of good tea and take out the best tea from my cabinet to entertain these distinguished guests..."
After a while, the dishes on the table were cleared away, and Ren Tingting, Qiu Sheng, Wencai, and Awei stood by to serve.
Apart from the few old men who sat down, the only ones who could sit at the table were Uncle Jiu, Simu, and Song Feng.
At this moment, Uncle Jiu and Simu were sitting on the left and right of Song Feng, looking very majestic.
Seeing Song Feng sitting in the center, the mayor, who was sitting in the middle among the old men, started to greet them:
"Seventh Uncle, I haven't seen you for many years. You are still as charming as ever..."
Looking at the few old men in front of him who could be said to be the most powerful in the town, Song Feng leaned on the cane in his hand:
"I am old now and don't want to meddle in other people's business anymore. If you have any problem, please discuss it with Uncle Jiu and the others."
"These days, demons and monsters are rampant and the situation is very chaotic. You never know when a family will be wiped out like the Ren family. This is really dangerous."
"Just now, that little girl Tingting said that she wanted to give the Ren family to Uncle Jiu as a Taoist temple, but Uncle Jiu insisted on his principles and refused to accept it..."
When he said this, Song Feng sighed quietly, then squinted his eyes as if he was dozing off:
"Sigh... all right, you guys go do your own things first. I'm old and I'm not very energetic. I need to rest for a while..."
Seeing that Song Feng really sat down, closed his eyes and dozed off, everyone present was speechless.
Even Uncle Jiu felt a little helpless.
The only one who dared to doze off in front of these old men was probably his seventh uncle, who was of high seniority and great prestige.
However, after hearing what was said, everyone saw that Seventh Uncle had really fallen asleep, and they couldn't help but look at each other.
They could vaguely see some of the other party's fading thoughts, as well as the hidden trace of fear.
Then, the mayor, who was sitting in the middle, laughed a few times and then said:
"Little niece Tingting did a good job, but Uncle Jiu is the patron saint of our Renjia Town, how can we let only the Ren family come forward?"
"How about this, let's discuss it and call together some of the rich families in the village. It's impossible that so many adults are not as sensible as a little girl."
"But since Tingting is willing to use the Ren family's land to expand Uncle Jiu's dojo, then we can just use it as someone else's land to make up the money."
"We will calculate the extra money and return it to my niece. We can't let the little girl suffer any loss, right..."
After hearing what the mayor said, Uncle Jiu seemed to suddenly realize something, and then he took a deep look at Song Feng who was dozing off.
Then, he clasped his hands together and said to the mayor with a smile:
"Since the mayor and several elders all agree, then Jiu will not refuse. I would like to ask the elders to thank the villagers on my behalf..."
After hearing Uncle Jiu's words, the mayor looked awkwardly at Song Feng, who was like a mountain eagle, and then stood up and said:
"Since Uncle Jiu has agreed, let's go back and collect the money. Niece Tingting is leaving tomorrow, so we should try to deliver Fenghong to our niece tonight. We can't waste time." "Uncle Jiu, please don't send us off. Take good care of Uncle Qi. We'll leave first, leave first..."
After saying this, the mayor and several old men did not stay any longer and quickly left the charity cemetery and walked away.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion.
Qiu Sheng, who had just been serving tea to the others, now felt as if these old men were fleeing in a panic when they left:
"Master, why do I feel like the mayor and his men are not acting normal today? They left in a hurry, didn't they?"
Asking when in doubt is a good quality for a disciple, and Qiu Sheng naturally would not miss this good opportunity.
However, before Uncle Jiu could speak, Simu, who was sitting nearby and watching the whole process, snorted and then said:
"Humph! What do you mean by leaving in a hurry? They left in disgrace like dogs that have lost their homes."
"These old guys are not good people. If it weren't for Uncle Seventh who pointed out their little tricks, this little girl would have been in big trouble!"
After hearing what Simu said, Awei couldn't help but shouted loudly:
"Who dares to touch my cousin? I will skin them alive!"
Seeing Ah Wei being so boastful, Ren Tingting could not help but look at her silly cousin helplessly, and then said:
"Thank you, Uncle Seventh, and Uncle Nine for your help."
After hearing what Ren Tingting said, Uncle Jiu sighed, and then said to Ren Tingting:
"People's hearts are hard to predict. If you want to thank someone, thank Seventh Uncle. If he hadn't beaten them to death, I'm afraid that even if I stepped in, this matter wouldn't have been resolved peacefully..."
Looking at these people who seemed to be playing a puzzle, Qiu Sheng, Wencai and the other three not-so-smart ones, including Awei, subconsciously looked at each other, their eyes full of confusion.
Then, Wencai asked:
"Master, what happened? Why don't I understand what you are talking about?"
Look at the clever Ren Tingting and then look at the three idiots next to her, especially two of them are his apprentices, it makes him angry just thinking about it!
"Humph! You still don't understand at this point. Who knows, one day you might be sold out and have to count money for others!"
Although he felt a little disappointed, Uncle Jiu couldn't help but explain:
"It's obvious that they want to take advantage of the fact that the Ren family has no male heirs and come to eat Tingting's family."
"They even know that Tingting is leaving tomorrow morning. What do you think they are thinking?"
Ren Tingting just told them this morning that she would be leaving tomorrow morning, but it seemed that several old men in the town knew about it a long time ago.
What good intentions can they have?
Families without male children in the town would be bullied, and some might even be raped or killed.
How could Ren Tingting not be coveted when she inherited such a huge fortune from the Ren family?
He didn't react at first, but after listening to what his seventh uncle said, he understood that not only did he have to take the Taoist temple, but he also had to ask for it openly from the entire town.
Only these people in the town knew that this matter was related to Uncle Jiu, so they would not do anything that would wipe out the entire family in the short term.
After all, if you really do something bad at this time, then one day you might end up like what your seventh uncle said.
"If we're not careful, our entire family will be wiped out..."
After making this time difference, Ren Tingting was able to go abroad early and no longer had to worry about being left with nothing.
When he thought of the last moment, Uncle Jiu couldn't help but look at Song Feng, who was squinting his eyes, with emotion in his eyes.
No wonder there’s an old saying that old people become more shrewd. I’m afraid this old guy had guessed what those people were planning a long time ago.
Although he was reluctant to admit it, he had to admit at this point that this old guy did have some skills.
