Rural women, when they curse, are absolutely filthy and venomous...
But what Gu Heng hadn’t expected was that this time his little aunt would stand up so unequivocally in support of his family...
Seeing Gu Heng looking at her, the little aunt cursed even more vigorously...
Her actions were obviously making a statement...
As for what kind of statement, there’s no need to say more...
Opportunistic people have both good and bad points...
The bad part is that when you’re at your lowest, not only will they not give you a hand, but they might even step on you...
The good part is also obvious...
Just like what Gu Heng’s little aunt was doing, when they need to suck up to you, they will push you up high, wishing they could let you stand on their heads to speak...
Seeing her husband getting cursed out like this, Zhang Laoba’s wife couldn’t help it either and stood up to join the quarrel...
The others were just standing by, looking on with great amusement at themotion...
A perfectly good vige-wide meeting turned into a shouting match between two families...
Seeing this, Gu Heng first told his little aunt to stop cursing, then charged into the crowd and pulled Xu Hong over...
Even when being dragged, Xu Hong asionally let out a couple of vicious curses, and Gu Heng could onlyugh and cry tofort his own mother...
Under the vige chief’s table-pounding and furious roaring, Zhang Laoba’s side also stopped, but the vige-wide meeting had already turned into a joke. Just as the vige chief was about to dismiss the meeting and think of another n, Gu Heng directly climbed onto the stage.
"Young Gu, what are you doing?"
Hearing the vige chief’s question, Gu Heng smiled and said, "Uncle, may I use your microphone for a moment, okay?"
The vige chief thought Gu Heng was there to take revenge for Xu Hong using the microphone and quickly said, "We’re all fellow vigers, let the past disputes go, don’t make a big fuss out of it."
Gu Heng smiled and exined, "Uncle, don’t think too much. Just now Zhang Laoba said that my family should contribute more, right? That’s exactly what I’m up here to do."
Having said that, before the vige chief could react, Gu Heng directly picked up the desk microphone in his hand, and addressed the crowd below, "Just now Zhang Laoba said that my family should contribute more, right? I think so too."
Hearing this, the crowd below, who were still making noises, instantly quieted down.
Xu Hong, hearing her son saying something foolish, was about to go up and pull Gu Heng down, but Gu Jianguo, as if he had anticipated it, held her back.
"Just now the vige chief said that building the ancestral hall would cost 4 million, I can represent the Gu surname in Anping Vige to donate 2 million directly!"
In an instant, all the people below started whispering to each other and discussing...
In their minds, they were all thinking whether Gu Heng had lost his mind...
Only Gu Heng was very clear about what he was thinking, and he continued, "However, my donation of this 2 milliones with one condition.
It is that once the new ancestral hall is built, regardless of how the spirit tablets were arranged before, from now on, the Gu family’s tablets must be ced in the foremost position.
As long as you all agree to this condition, I will directly contribute 2 million for the construction of the new ancestral hall, and the remaining 2 million can be shared among yourselves."
Of course, if you do not agree, that’s also fine, if you don’t agree, my family will not contribute anything toward the new ancestral hall. In that case, I’ll simply build a small ancestral hall next to my house, solely for the Gu ancestors’ spirit tablets, since I’m not short of that bit of money."
Anping Vige has 133 households but many surnames, almost a dozen different ones...
The Gu surname is the leastmon in Anping Vige, with only Gu Heng’s and his granduncle’s and uncle’s families bearing the Gu surname.
Previously, the cement of the spirit tablets was done based on surnames, withrger surnames at the front and smaller surnames at the back...
The Gu family’s few tablets, those were ced in the very back corner...
Such an arrangement was not wrong originally, asrger surnames had more people and thus contributed more money and effort to the construction of the ancestral hall; it was quite normal.
But since he was now willing to contribute 2 million, of course, he wanted his ancestors’ spirit tablets to be ced in the foremost position, otherwise wouldn’t the money be spent in vain?

"Impossible! The Gu surname only adds up to a few people? And you want to be in the foremost position?"
"Exactly! Having the ancestors of so many people give way to just one Gu family, aren’t you afraid of being struck by lightning?"
People are always greedy and despicable...
They have countless reasons when ites to contributing money.
Now that someone is willing to donate, they are unwilling to give up their own benefits.
Hearing the shouting from below, Gu Heng was not angry; he put the microphone back and then smiled and said, "Uncle, I’ve given you a suggestion, whether it works or not is up to you now, I don’t really mind, if all else fails, I’ll just build a separate Gu family ancestral hall myself."
After saying that, he nonchntly patted the vige chief on the shoulder and jumped off the stage.
Then he sat back down, under the excited gaze of his father Gu Jianguo...
His son’s words had been crystal clear to him. The idea that the Gu family’s ancestors’ spirit tablets could be ced in the foremost position was something he wouldn’t even dare to dream about...
It was a glory that would honor his ancestors.
Seeing the look in his father’s eyes, Gu Heng smiled.
If this matter really seeded, he would have to spend 2 million.
These 2 million might be considered the most unworthy expenditure since he had gotten the system, but seeing his father’s demeanor, Gu Heng felt it was also the most worthwhile...
Experience tales with empire
After all, Gu Heng had already decided that if the matter didn’t go through, he would build a Gu family ancestral hall with his own money – in any case, he had to honor his father and his ancestors!
He had to make the Gu family genealogy dedicate a separate page just for him!
