Siheyuan: I have a multi-dimensional chat group!

Hearing Xu Damao's words, Liu Haizhong said with satisfaction, "Damao has been doing well lately, always willing to help others. He will definitely be an outstanding young man in our institute in the future. Is there anyone else who can learn from Damao and voluntarily donate grain or money?"

No one spoke up then.

Liu Haizhong looked at the deaf old lady, then at Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui: "How about we leave it at that for today! Old lady, if you have something to say, just say it now and we'll take care of it for you; if not, this meeting can end here today!"

"I'm fine, let's adjourn the meeting!" the deaf old woman said, standing up. "Xiao Yi, help me back. Zhu Zi, help Cai Juan! From now on, as long as you're home, you can't let Cai Juan do any work. Take good care of your wife!"

“Caijuan, if you’ve been wronged, just tell my old lady. I’ll beat the pillar with a stick.”

Hearing the deaf old lady's words, Li Caijuan blushed deeply: "Grandma, don't worry! Zhuzi has a kind heart and won't let me suffer any injustice."

"That's fine then." The deaf old lady nodded.

Yi Zhonghai came over and helped the deaf old lady walk towards the backyard.

Liu Guangtian quietly approached Xiao Shan again: "Xiao Shan, thank you this time for sparing me a beating."

"What's our relationship? No need to be so polite!" Xiao Shan waved his hand and said, "Second Uncle, you were the one who orchestrated this valiant performance for me today, weren't you?"

Liu Guangtian said with a smile, "After the meeting, my older brother and I analyzed the content of the meeting and the possible situations with our father."

Xiao Shan nodded. It was a good thing to have Liu Haizhong cause more trouble for Yi Zhonghai, so that Yi Zhonghai wouldn't have nothing better to do and might target him one day.

Xu Damao carried a stool and went home with Xiao Shan.

On the way home, Xiao Shan said to Xu Damao, "Brother Mao, you're really in trouble today! Brother Zhu's wife is no ordinary woman. With just a few words, she not only silenced the old man but also turned the tables on you. Our courtyard is going to be even more lively from now on!"

"Brother Zhu doesn't like to use his brain, but now that he has a wife, it's like he has an extra strategist! But Brother Mao, this is also good for you."

Xu Damao was a little puzzled: "What does Sha Zhu's wife's strength have to do with me?"

“At least Brother Zhu is being looked after now! Look at him, he hasn’t been in a fight since he got married, and he rarely even argues with anyone. Aren’t you benefiting from this?” Xiao Shan said to Xu Damao with a smile.

Xiao Shan's words were rather cryptic, but Xu Damao quickly understood.

He Yuzhu beat Xu Damao the most in the yard!

He Yuzhu isn't hitting people now, because he's not benefiting from Li Caijuan's influence!

After understanding this, Xu Damao felt extremely uncomfortable!

Sha Zhu married a shrewd wife, so it's actually good for me?

Xu Damao went home silently, and Xiao Shan also happily went home to continue his cultivation.

Yi Zhonghai escorted the deaf old lady home, but instead of returning immediately, he sat down.

Looking at the deaf old lady, Yi Zhonghai sighed and said, "Grandma, it's getting harder and harder for me to be an old man like this!"

"Xiao Yi, from now on you need to do more and talk less, so that next time you encounter a similar situation, you'll have more confidence when you speak!"

The deaf old lady was practically pointing her finger at Yi Zhonghai, telling him to be more practical in the future and stop with his empty moral blackmail.

Yi Zhonghai was surprised by the deaf old lady's words and said with some resistance, "Grandma, people's hearts have changed now. No one is willing to step forward without real benefits! If you ask me, if this old man can't do it, let Liu Haizhong take over!"

Hearing Yi Zhonghai's words, the deaf old lady chuckled and said, "Little Yi, this is a strategic retreat! Liu Haizhong is a good-for-nothing. If he becomes a big shot, he'll definitely embarrass himself if something happens!"

Yi Zhonghai blushed a little at what the old lady said: "Grandma, I'll think about it!"

Although he verbally said he would give up his position as the eldest son to Liu Haizhong, when it came to actually doing it, Yi Zhonghai was somewhat unwilling!

Hearing Yi Zhonghai's words, the deaf old lady didn't say anything more.

After all, I've said everything I needed to say, and saying more would only annoy people!

After chatting with the deaf old lady for a while, Yi Zhonghai got up and went home.

Watching Yi Zhonghai leave, the deaf old lady sighed.

Now that He Yuzhu has such a shrewd wife as Li Caijuan, Yi Zhonghai can no longer fool He Yuzhu like he used to fool a fool!

The next morning, since it was the weekend, Xiaoshan planned to sleep in.

Just as Xiao Shan was sound asleep, there was a knock on the door.

"Xiaoshan, it's me, Guangtian. Jiefang and I need your help. Please open the door!"

Xiao Shan opened his eyes, scratched his hair, then put on his clothes and opened the door for the two of them.

After opening the door, Xiao Shan looked at Liu Guangtian and Yan Jiefang standing in the doorway and asked in a somewhat displeased tone, "It's so early in the morning, I was hoping to sleep in! But you two woke me up! So, what is it?"

Chapter 90, The Silver-Armored Corpse Ren Weiyong! (Please subscribe!)

Liu Guangtian and Yan Jiefang knew that Xiao Shan was just being grumpy when he woke up, so they didn't pay much attention to his tone.

Liu Guangtian said to Xiao Shan, "It's all about buying food to help the poor families in the relief center! The old man said before that he wouldn't get involved anymore, so he gave my dad twenty yuan and really washed his hands of it!"

“My dad and my third uncle discussed going to the pigeon market to buy grain! But it’s only a little over 200 jin (100 kg), which is too conspicuous and they’re afraid of being caught by the patrol officers. That’s why they thought of having us younger generation go to the pigeon market to buy it in batches.”

"Xiao Shan, neither Guang Tian nor I have been to Pigeon City, so we came to ask you for help!" Yan Jiefang looked at Xiao Shan somewhat embarrassed.

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Shan said, "Who will go to do this? We don't want to go through all the trouble of buying it back and then have them say it was money donated by our brothel."

Xiao Shan was actually unwilling to do the thankless and arduous task of buying grain for everyone.

Even if he didn't take a single penny from it, he still worked hard to buy the grain for the people in the courtyard.

But people will definitely gossip behind their backs, saying that they got benefits from it.

“Besides me and Jiefang, there are also Brother Zhu and Brother Mao!” Liu Guangtian said to Xiao Shan. “They are the only two people besides the three old men who donated grain. With them involved, at least there will be less gossip.”

What Liu Guangtian said was true.

Only five people donated money and food.

Yi Zhonghai didn't care; the remaining four people all had representatives go to buy grain, so naturally the others couldn't say anything.

Xiao Shan nodded: "Alright, I'll take you to Pigeon Market tonight! We'll split up and each of you buy five yuan worth of cornmeal, for a total of twenty-five yuan!"

"We can buy the rest when we're not full! You'll have been there once by then, so I won't need to show you the way!"

Liu Guangtian and Yan Jiefang thought Xiao Shan's words made sense, so they nodded in agreement.

After watching the two leave, Xiao Shan went back to sleep for a while.

After Liu Guangtian and Yan Jiefang returned, they told Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui what Xiao Shan had said.

The two also thought Xiao Shan's method was reliable, so they agreed.

Liu Guangtian and Yan Jiefang went to find Xu Damao and He Yuzhu again and told them to go to Pigeon Market to buy grain that night.

He Yuzhu and Xu Damao were both off today, so they readily agreed.

That evening, led by Xiao Shan, Liu Guangtian and his three companions arrived at Pigeon City.

After working for more than an hour, all five of them exchanged their five yuan for grain.

Xiao Shan also bought a rabbit and two pounds of small fish and shrimp to take home and eat.

After bringing the grain back to the yard, Xiao Shan didn't concern himself with anything else and went straight home.

He Yuzhu, Xu Damao, and the three old men, acting like big shots, distributed 125 jin of cornmeal to the poor households in the courtyard overnight.

The courtyard gradually returned to calm, and no one mentioned holding a meeting due to food shortages again.

It's obvious: whoever proposes donating grain and holding a meeting will get the money.

No one complains about being poor or having no food if it's not mentioned.

So naturally no one would mention it.

However, Jia Zhangshi would often complain in the courtyard that their family's rations weren't enough.

However, with Jia Dongxu's monthly salary of just over forty yuan, no one paid any attention to Jia Zhangshi's complaints of poverty.

Xiaoshan doesn't go to Pigeon Market often, but he goes there every weekend evening to check out the prices.

The large influx of cornmeal from the autumn harvest into the market kept grain prices in Pigeon City from rising, remaining at two cents.

Xiaoshan was unaware of the situation in other places, but at least in Beijing, although the supply was not open, the quota was not reduced.

This also caused many people who planned to make a fortune from grain to fail in their plans.

That day, Xiao Shan was working at the steel rolling mill when he noticed someone tagging him in a chat group.

Taking a quick glance at the chat group, Xiao Shan discovered that it was Ren Weiyong tagging everyone.

Ren Weiyong: "@Everyone, everyone, Uncle Jiu is here! I can finally see the light of day again!"

Yue Buqun: "Mr. Ren, weren't you buried in obscurity for a long time when you joined the group? How come twenty years have passed so quickly?"

Ren Weiyong: "I don't know either! I only found out that my son Ren Fa and Uncle Jiu had come to exhume and rebury me when I heard noises coming from the grave!"

Zhang Chulan: "Mr. Ren, if there's any noise at the grave, could it be grave robbers?"

Ren Weiyong: "Impossible! I could hear my son and Uncle Jiu talking!"

Group owner Xiao Shan: "Mr. Ren, how's your strength now? Don't end up like the guy in Future Video, getting taken down by Uncle Nine in the end!"

Ren Weiyong: "Don't worry, group leader, I've been diligently cultivating for the past twenty years!"

Ren Weiyong: "I've already advanced to become a Silver Armor Corpse! In the chat group, that's equivalent to the fifth rank! And Uncle Jiu is only at the Foundation Establishment stage, which is the fourth rank! Even if Uncle Jiu's Dao techniques have a damage bonus against me, I'm not afraid of him!"

In Ren Weiyong's world, zombies are generally divided into several levels: walking zombies, jumping zombies, hairy zombies, armored zombies, silver-armored zombies, gold-armored zombies, and flying zombies.

Of course, there are even higher-level zombies above the flying corpses, but those are all ancient legends and are basically impossible to appear in Ren Weiyong's Dharma-ending Age.

After all, in Ren Weiyong's world, even armored corpses are a rare sight, while silver-armored corpses can roam freely in most places!

Group owner Xiao Shan: "Mr. Ren, I think you should be careful! After all, Uncle Nine is used to fighting monsters much higher level than himself! Don't be too reckless, or you might capsize!"

Ying Zheng: "However, Mr. Ren's ability to cultivate to the fifth level in just twenty years without using the chat group's training ground is truly impressive! I'm only at the second level right now!"

Ren Weiyong: "The reason my strength has improved so quickly is mainly because I am currently in a chaotic world! There is war and chaos everywhere, the people are suffering, more and more people are dying, and the Yin energy is naturally becoming more and more intense! I cultivate by absorbing Yin energy, so my cultivation speed is naturally fast!"

Zhou Bingkun: "I see! I really envy Mr. Ren's physique! I've been cultivating for almost three years now, and my strength is still hovering around the first level!"

Ren Weiyong: "Bingkun, if you envy my physique, when we meet in the group, I'll turn you into a zombie!"

Zhou Bingkun: "Um... then let's forget about it!"

Zhang Chulan: "Actually, Uncle Nine isn't some old-fashioned stubborn fool! Mr. Ren, since you're now a sentient zombie, why not talk to Uncle Nine? Maybe you can get along peacefully! After all, you've always relied on Yin energy to cultivate, but you've never harmed any living beings!"

Zhang Sanfeng: "I think Chu Lan is right! Mr. Ren, you could consider trying to reason with Uncle Jiu first, then talk things out! You won't lose anything!"

Ren Weiyong: "Okay, I'll give it a try!"

Chapter 91, Ren Weiyong teases Uncle Jiu! (Please subscribe!)

Group admin Xiao Shan: "Mr. Ren, let's go live and see how you got exposed!"

Ren Weiyong: "No problem, I'll start right away!"

Soon, the chat group notified that "Ren Weiyong has started a live broadcast."

Xiao Shan entered Ren Weiyong's live stream room, where the live stream showed Ren Fa and others preparing to dig a grave.

At this moment, Ren Fa and Uncle Jiu were talking about the tomb.

"Uncle Jiu, the feng shui master who looked at the site back then said that the feng shui of this place was very rare, and that it was a good burial site!"

"Indeed, this burial site is called the Dragonfly Skimming Water Site! The site is 34 feet long, but only 4 feet are usable; it is 13 feet wide, but only 3 feet are usable. Therefore, the coffin cannot be buried flat; it can only be buried in a traditional style."

Ren Fa gave Uncle Jiu a thumbs-up with admiration: "Amazing, Uncle Jiu!"

"Master, what is a French funeral? Is it like a French funeral?" Wencai suddenly asked.

Hearing his apprentice's ignorant and incompetent words, Uncle Nine was furious.

He glared fiercely at Wen Cai: "Shut up!"

As he watched the others slowly dig the grave, Ren Weiyong, lying inside the coffin, was very excited, knowing he would be out soon!

Soon, the entire coffin was dug out.

However, unlike in the future video, the entire coffin is now pitch black.

The reason for this is that when Ren Weiyong absorbs the Yin energy, the Yin energy has to pass through the coffin.

The coffin was constantly tainted by malevolent energy, and the material of the coffin even changed, becoming like jade!

This coffin can now be considered a ritual object.

Ren Weiyong was cultivating inside; this coffin could accelerate the gathering and absorption of Yin energy.
