The fairy world collapsed, and the down-and-out gods were laid off and re-employed.

Xie Zezhi sat in the room with a teacup in his hand, looking at the pale beast kneeling under the sun, and sighing in his heart that the Lingqing Immortal family was still good-tempered.

Dongfang Chuliang and Liu Mosi must have treated these blackmailing beasts with courtesy when they came, so they took them lightly. Dongfang Chuliang was so pitiful that he didn't even come in.

These evil beasts have not yet reached the level of cultivation, and their aura is just enough to maintain their human form. Their magic power was so low that they couldn't even see the light on the gods' heads, so they neglected Liu Mosi and the others. If they had followed Jiang Zhixia's example and used a "language" that He Shou could understand to "talk" to him, maybe He Susu would have returned to Lingqing early.

As it got closer to noon, the sun grew stronger. Xie Zezhi pretended not to see the sweat on their faces and continued to talk to them about the Book of Rites. From time to time, he would hit them with a ruler to make them straighten their backs.

"Can you be quieter?" Xie Zezhi glanced at them and then looked away.

"Back to grandpa, we didn't talk." After He Shou finished speaking, his stomach growled so loudly that he even blushed when he heard it.

They have not yet inedged themselves. When their spiritual energy is sufficient, they feed on spiritual energy. If their spiritual energy is insufficient, they must eat like ordinary people to supplement it. In previous years, they grazed in the mountains, but now they are learning to make fires and cook when they come down from the mountains.

"You should know that I'm not talking about this." He put down the tea cup and said slowly: "In hundreds of years, you haven't even been able to achieve the goal of living without a grain, and you still want to become an immortal?"

"Nowadays, the spiritual energy is not enough." He Shoupei said with a smile: "In the past, I was lucky enough to have Zhao Heng... that god gave me the spiritual energy so that all of us could transform. But the spiritual energy for cultivation is not enough, and there are so many people in the family. Each person’s share of spiritual energy is less.”

"Then in what year and month will you become immortals?"

"We are also worried. Why don't you, grandpa..." Halfway through He Shou's words, when he saw Xie Zezhi's face turning cold, he quickly stopped and knelt aside, but his stomach growled again.

"Okay." Xie Zezhi really couldn't bear to listen, "Let's tell the servants to prepare food first."

At this time, He Susu's second mother raised her hands tremblingly, saying that she was responsible for all the food at home. Her mother-in-law didn't like her, but she needed her to have children, so in order to torture her, she gave her all the dirty work at home, which not only saved money, but also showed her prestige.

Xie Zezhi said: "Since I am responsible for the food of the whole family, there is no need to kneel here. There is no need to ask for greetings in the future. You must do your own thing first."

After hearing this, Er Niang almost gave Xie Zezhi a kiss. She never imagined that one day the hard work she did would become her "talisman."

She stood up and gave He Susu's grandmother a grateful look. Turning her head, she saw her two daughters again. She boldly asked Xie Zezhi if he could take her two daughters away. The three of them usually worked together.

Xie Zezhi nodded in agreement. The two girls followed their mothers happily.

"Grandpa, they are gone, then I..." He Susu's grandmother thought she could rest, but she heard Xie Zezhi ask back: "I have something to do, what do you have to do? Just continue to kneel and endorse."

He Susu's grandmother was so angry that she would have gone to work if she had known that today would happen.

Other blackmail beasts seized on the information revealed in Xie Ze's words. Si Niang quickly said that she was the housekeeper and wanted to check the household expenses account book. The eldest lady said she had an embroidery picture to complete, and the fifth lady said she wanted to take care of the children...

Everyone racked their brains to think of what they had to do to prove how important they were to the family.

Xie Zezhi came to know what each of them does every day through Shui Jing. They could not lie before him.

Siniang wanted to take He Chuyun away but he stopped her. He knew that He Chuyun was favored by the old lady and didn't have to do anything at home.

Her mother had just pretended to take her to look at the account books. As a result, Xie Zezhi asked her how she could read the account book if she didn't even recognize the words.

After He Chuyun heard this, he hated her mother for teaching her about false etiquette and trying to please her elders. She also said that it was virtue for a woman to have no talent. In order to create a "perfect" daughter, she was not allowed to recognize even the words. I can't even run away now.

She tried to act coquettishly to Xie Zezhi in an attempt to win sympathy, but she didn't expect that this "grandfather" was unfavorable and severely reprimanded her for only thinking about cheating and cheating instead of doing real things.

In the end, there were only four people left in the whole yard: He Shou and his mother, as well as He Shuang and He Chuyun.

He Shuang was not happy either. What's the use of "selling your son and daughter" to gain favor in exchange for aura! In the end, even the housekeeper's power was removed, and no one was willing to pity her. It's better to give those spiritual energy to yourself early in the morning. Maybe now that you have become an immortal, what can you do to these "white-eyed wolves"?

The four of them groaned inwardly and knelt down until dinner was served.

No one spoke at the dinner table, everyone had different thoughts. In Xie Zezhi's absence, the old lady and He Shou returned to their usual bossy behavior, commanding this and insulting that.

Everyone was dissatisfied and thought to themselves: They are the only two people in this family who have done nothing, so what qualifications do they have to sit in the main seat and point fingers at them!

In the afternoon, Xie Zezhi called them together again and asked them to sit in the hall.

"He Shou, how do you distribute the spiritual energy?" Xie Zezhi asked.

He Shou stood up, staggered, and replied that most of the spiritual energy belonged to him and his mother, and then to He Shuang. The remaining people will be assigned different auras in order of age.

After hearing this, Xie Zezhi shook his head and said, "It's wrong to differentiate like this."

"what?"

"According to this method, when will a god be born in the family? In my opinion, it is best to give all the spiritual energy earned every year to one person, so that he can become a god first. It is better to rank them in order of seniority."

As soon as the words fell, everyone had different expressions on their faces. The most unhappy ones are undoubtedly the juniors. They have received less spiritual energy, so they will not even have spiritual energy in the future.

He Shou's mother was quite happy. She is the elder in this family, and naturally she is the first in terms of seniority.

Xie Zezhi paused and then said: "But I think this seems inappropriate. The third daughter-in-law He bought the aura in the house with her daughter. We can't let her just contribute and not fall behind."

He Shuang nodded desperately.

He pretended to be embarrassed and said: "It's not up to me to decide who should be given. I'll give you an hour to choose one person, and give him all the spiritual energy from now on."

After he left, there was a lot of noise in the room. None of them care about the three cardinal principles and five permanent principles, that men are superior to women, and they try every means to prove that they are the most useful person in the family.

He Shuang patted her chest and said that she had made the greatest contribution to the family and that everyone's transformation depended on her. The second mother said that people in the family without her would starve to death sooner or later; the eldest mother said that she earned a lot of money from embroidery...

He Shou and the old lady were quickly defeated. Firstly, they have not fulfilled their responsibilities as elders in teaching, and secondly, they have not contributed even half to the establishment of this family. Ever since he transformed into a human, he has relied on his seniority to bully them. It can be said that he has nothing but seniority.

He Shou tried to prove his usefulness by choosing brides, but was criticized by his son, saying that those brides were obviously chosen by him. It's just that "Zhenjun Zhaoheng" found him first, and his job can be done by someone else.

He Shou was so angry that he wanted to beat him, and the whole lobby was in chaos.

Waiting for Xie Zezhi to appear again, the faces of these blackmail beasts will have a little "color"

He pretended not to know and sat at the main seat, and said deliberately: "The result must have come out. Is it your father or your grandmother who is chosen?"

"'Grandfather,' this matter cannot be arranged according to seniority!" He Susu's eldest brother could not sit still early in the morning, stood up and retorted: "Although one of them is my father and the other is my grandmother, they have never done anything for this family. . I can do what he did. My grandfather is not as good as me, so I will study hard and practice hard."

"Bastard!" He Shuang jumped to his feet and scolded: "Why did you get this opportunity? You crawled out of my intestines. Don't talk about your father and your grandmother, you have to think about your mother..."

"You are not much different from them." Brother He Susu replied: "On weekdays, the family only mediates, stirs up troubles, and is kind but not nurturing. You are not thinking about getting spiritual energy by giving birth. Besides, you women also do other things besides giving birth to children. What can be done?”

"Big brother, what you said is unreasonable." Er Niang's daughter stood up, "Without our help, this family would have been broken up long ago! If you say you can do what your father does, we can do what you do. It's just that you took away the opportunity. Otherwise, if it were left to us, you might not be as bad as you."

"It's a joke, women are showing off..."

"Are we half-clothed? Why can't we show up in public?" Erniang's daughter said and took off the gauze scarf on her head. This was beyond Xie Zezhi's expectation and made him look at the girl a few more times.

"Brother, don't forget, when we were still blackmail beasts, you guys didn't have any say at all. You just used human rules to suppress us."

"What kind of suppression? This is the rule..."

"What about people? What they say must be right? Everything I read in the book is wrong!" After saying that, she realized her mistake and turned to look at Xie Zezhi's face.

She quickly knelt down and apologized.

Without the expected rebuke, Xie Zezhi asked her who was the candidate in her mind?

She said bravely: "I think this spot should be given to my mother. She has contributed the most, so she deserves it."

"What about you?" Xie Zezhi asked again, "Are you willing?"

"I do!" She replied: "Although my mother can't speak, if she hadn't found food during the famine year, the whole family would have starved to death. Moreover, she gave birth to me and raised me, and she also gave her share of spiritual energy to My sister and I. I have nothing to repay her. Instead of giving the spiritual energy I gained from selling me to these people who don’t want to do it in the future, I would rather give it all to my mother."

The second mother quickly kowtowed and said that she was too old to have spiritual energy, and asked Xie Zezhi to choose her two daughters.

This mother and daughter made He Shuang feel ashamed. She had given birth to so many children, but not one of them turned towards her.

Xie Zezhi asked them to stand up and sighed:

"Since ancient times, it has been stipulated that filial piety comes first. I originally wanted to recommend your father or grandmother, but everyone's complaints are so big that I can't just throw in the towel.

Well, I'll give you one night to think about it. I will ask you again tomorrow. If you can convince me, I will reconsider. "

That night, these blackmailers rummaged through boxes and cabinets, consulted books, and looked for any refuting evidence.
