Chang Lili remained silent, but her heart was already surging.

Unexpectedly, her mother thought the same as her.

Uncle Chang glared angrily: "Is this what an elder should say? Sister-in-law has helped us so much, and you are insulting her like this?"

Aunt Chang regretted what she said the next second, but what she regretted was that she shouldn't have said that in front of her daughter.

"Why do I think so? You shouldn't look for excuses from yourself. If you continue to favor Chang Wenwen in the future, then you can go live with your brother. It's good for the two of us to live together."

After saying this, Aunt Chang continued to work on her work, but Uncle Chang was not happy.

"I'm the head of the family, you're chasing me away? Without my hard work, you'd be starving!"

Aunt Chang didn't want to continue arguing, but Uncle Chang always said stupid things in a self-righteous way.

"Lili, go back to your room."

Aunt Chang coldly drove Chang Lili out of the kitchen.

Chang Lili turned around and left obediently. She knew her mother was going to get mad.

But she was also cautious and secretly hid behind the door and eavesdropped.

After her daughter left, Aunt Chang rolled up her sleeves and slapped Uncle Chang hard.

"Bah! Half of the money you've earned over the years has been given to my eldest brother's family. Without you, we might be better off!"

"Don't think I don't know that if those two guests hadn't shown up, Lili would have been the village chief for this sacrifice."

Uncle Chang didn't expect that she knew all this, and he lost his confidence for a moment: "You, you, you! What are you thinking about!"

Second Aunt Chang sneered: "Just treat it as my fantasy. Anyway, the sacrifice has been selected. As long as it is not my daughter, it's fine. But don't forget that Lili is also your daughter."

Chang Lili, hiding behind the door, couldn't understand what her parents were arguing about. She knew about the sacrifice, but what about the candidates they were talking about?

On the other side, Yun Chu and Wan Tingxin naturally understood who they were talking about.

It turned out that before they came, the village chief had already decided on Chang Lili as the sacrifice.

It was their sudden appearance that saved Chang Lili's life.

There was no more quarreling downstairs at this moment. Second Aunt Chang won this battle.

Yun Chu and the other person waited for a while to make sure there was no information to find out before returning to their room to wash up.

Chang Lili thought that her parents seemed to be hiding something from her, but there was a voice in her heart telling her not to ask any further. After hesitating for a while, Chang Lili decided to pretend that she knew nothing for the time being.

After Yun Chu finished washing up, Aunt Chang also prepared dinner.

In front of them, the atmosphere between Uncle Chang and his wife eased a little.

"This is the sweet rice wine I brought back from town. It's good stuff. It's even sweeter after adding water from the waterfall at the entrance of the village. Come and try it."

Uncle Chang took out the rice wine he brought back and was about to share it with Yun Chu and the other man.

[3. There is a famous waterfall in Changshou Village. The water from the waterfall gathers into a stream and flows through the village. Although the stream is clear, please do not touch or drink the water in the stream at will.]

Although it was processed rice wine, stream water was added to it, and according to the rules, Yun Chu could not drink it.

Yun Chu didn't make a move, so Wan Tingxin didn't dare to make a move.

Seeing the two of them staring blankly, Uncle Chang urged them: "Try it quickly, it's just a drink at most, it doesn't have much alcohol content."

"Thank you for your kindness, Uncle, but I will go crazy when I drink, and no one can control me, so I won't drink."

Although he didn't know what the consequences of drinking it would be, Yun Chu had no curiosity in this regard.

"Okay, what about you little girl?"

Uncle Chang sighed and turned to look at Wan Tingxin.

Wan Tingxin's brain worked quickly: "Second...Second Uncle, I'm allergic to alcohol. Even a little bit of it can kill me. My family won't let me drink."

After being rejected by two people in succession, even though the reasons were valid, Uncle Chang's face still darkened.

Yun Chu secretly cried out that it was not good, and immediately stuffed two ghost money over to avoid any trouble: "Second Uncle, please take this, this wine smells very fragrant, but it's a pity that we can't drink it, and we are wasting your kindness."

Looking at the paper money in his hand, Uncle Chang's expression improved a little: "I didn't ask you about your preferences in advance. In that case, you and Lili can drink juice."

It’s just juice, as long as it’s not sweet rice wine.

The dinner went smoothly. Although there were some minor incidents, it was not a big problem overall.

After dinner, Yun Chu chatted with Bei Bei in his mind. This copy was not difficult at the moment so Bei Bei and the others were not needed for the time being.

But Beibei is a person who can't sit still and always wants to go out and play.

Yun Chu was afraid that she would cause trouble and scare Wan Tingxin so he didn't plan to let her out, but he didn't expect Beibei to get angry immediately.

So Yun Chu could only patiently chat with her in his mind and promised to buy her the latest style of skirt in the system mall.

"Boom boom boom!"

There was a knock on the door suddenly.

It was just past nine o'clock. Wan Tingxin walked to the door and opened it with confidence. Standing outside was Chang Lili.

"I have something I have been thinking about for a long time and I think it would be better to discuss it with you."

Yun Chu naturally welcomed the information that was delivered to his door: "What happened?"

Seeing that she was not rejected, Chang Lili happily climbed onto the bed and told Yun Chu and the others about the quarrel between her parents in the afternoon.

"My mother mentioned the sacrifice, but I have no idea who she was talking about. And this matter is very likely related to you."

Chang Lili didn't know, but Yun Chu and the others knew that the chosen one was the sacrifice, but they didn't plan to tell Chang Lili about it.

Do you want to tell her that this place where you were born and raised may seem beautiful, but it is actually rotten inside?

If Chang Lili doesn't believe it and goes to ask Aunt Chang, then Yun Chu and Wan Tingxin will be in danger.

Before the sacrifice, Yun Chu and his companions tried their best to act as ordinary people who knew nothing, so that the villagers would not restrict their personal safety.

Only by pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger can you gain greater benefits.

"Don't think too much about it. It's probably something related to the sacrifice. Many of the procedures are ancient and complicated, and you may not even know about them."

Yun Chu comforted Chang Lili and told her not to think too much.

Chang Lili thought about it and it was true. There were many rules in these traditional rituals that she didn't understand. Only when she grew up and got married would the elders slowly teach her what to do.

"But outsiders like you are not allowed to participate in the main sacrificial ceremony. Why did my mother mention you?"

Chang Lili still couldn't figure this out.

"Did Second Aunt ask us to participate in the main ceremony?"

Yun Chu heard everything clearly, but Second Aunt never said that in the kitchen at that time.

Sure enough, Chang Lili thought about it and said, "It seems that I didn't say that."

"That's fine. We just can't participate in the main ceremony, but we can't play with everyone. You must have heard it wrong."

Under the guidance of Yun Chu's nonsense, Chang Lili was brainwashed thoroughly and no longer bothered about what Second Aunt Chang said.
