Ten minutes later, Ninth Uncle, Jiang Yu, and the others returned to the ancestral hall of the Wang Family Village. As soon as they stepped in, the people of the Wang Family Village surrounded them and asked one after another.
"How is Master Lin?"
"That's right! Is Ninth Uncle done?"
"Ninth Uncle!"
“...”
"Enough! Such a ruckus was not proper.”
Village Chief Wang immediately shouted when he saw the noisy scene. After it quieted down, he looked at Ninth Uncle and asked,"Master Lin, I wonder how things are going. Has that thing been resolved?”
"Fortunately, I didn't fail my mission. That demoness has already been killed by my disciple. She can't come out to harm people in the future.”Ninth Uncle said.
"Hmm? Bad disciple? Wasn't Master Lin the one who killed him?"
Village Chief Wang thought to himself, but then he came back to his senses. No matter what, if the female monster didn't come, the Wang Family Village would be able to enjoy peace in the future. He immediately revealed a pleasantly surprised expression and said,"Master Lin, it's already late. I've already prepared a banquet. After eating, we'll rest in the village for the night and go back tomorrow!”
Ninth Uncle looked up at the sky and realized that it was indeed very late. Seeing that the people of the Wang Family Village were so enthusiastic, he couldn't refuse. Moreover, he had nothing to do back home, so he cupped his hands and thanked the Village Chief.”
"Alright, Master Lin, please come in."
"Please!"
Seeing that Ninth Uncle had agreed, Village Chief Wang invited Ninth Uncle and Jiang Yu to enter the venue and then instructed the villagers to hold a banquet.
In Jiang Yu's eyes, the so-called banquet was just some home-cooked dishes. A plate of roast duck, a plate of green vegetables, a plate of vermicelli and freshwater fish, a few plates of dishes and some wine were put together to form a table.
In this war-torn era, it was already good enough to have a full meal. Fish, meat, and vegetables were already very sumptuous. Even some landowners and rich people might not have such sumptuous dishes.
Village Chief Wang raised his teacup and said to Ninth Uncle,""Come, Master Lin and this young master, this old man will offer you two a cup of tea in place of wine. Thank you for helping the Wang Family Village solve a huge problem.”
"You're welcome. It's the duty of Mao Mountain disciples to kill demons and devils. Village Chief Wang is too polite.”Ninth Uncle also raised his teacup in response. Jiang Yu, who was beside Ninth Uncle, followed suit and raised his teacup.
"No matter what, I thank Master Lin on behalf of the Wang Family Village.”
Thus, in a joyous atmosphere, everyone ate very happily. The banquet lasted until almost dawn, and only ended when the rooster crowed. Before leaving, the Wang Family Village people even gave a generous reward.
Jiang Yu weighed it in his hand and estimated that it was about 10 yuan. The people of the Wang Family Village were indeed generous. One yuan could buy 30 catties of rice, and the average family of three would only consume about 30 catties of rice every month. In other words, 10 yuan was the food expenditure of an ordinary family for half a year.
"Master, here." Jiang Yu handed the reward to Ninth Uncle.
Ninth Uncle was stunned for a moment. When he saw his disciple handing over the unopened money bag containing the money, he asked curiously,"There are ten dollars here. Aren't you going to take some?”
Ninth Uncle could not be blamed for asking this. If it were Qiu Sheng or Wen Cai, they would have long been clamoring for a share of the money, or they would have secretly hidden a few pieces. They would not have handed it over so readily.
"Hehe, Master, it's not easy for you to maintain the mortuary by yourself. Anyway, I don't have to worry about food and clothing here, and money isn't of much use.”Jiang Yu smiled awkwardly.
After hearing Jiang Yu's words, the corners of Ninth Uncle's mouth curled up slightly. He felt gratified and said,"Yes, if your two senior brothers can understand me as well as you, I will be at ease.”
Jiang Yu chuckled when he heard that. He had heard that Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai often asked Ninth Uncle for money. Even when Ninth Uncle, Qiu Sheng, and Wen Cai went out to deal with things, they would ask Ninth Uncle for money from time to time. However, they didn't understand that Ninth Uncle was a more upright person. Usually, he would only collect some money symbolically when he performed rituals.
Sometimes, when they met poor people, they didn't ask for money or even suffered losses. However, people had to eat. If it weren't for Ninth Uncle's mortuary to earn money, even eating would have become a problem. Therefore, Ninth Uncle had always been dissatisfied with Wen Caiqiu and the others asking for money.
However, Jiang Yu could understand Qiu Sheng and the others. A man who did not have a single cent on him would not be able to do anything. However, Ninth Uncle could not understand them, so the three of them had been arguing over this matter.
In the end, it was all because of money.
This was why Jiang Yu acted so quickly when the people of the Wang Family Village offered him money. He knew that with Ninth Uncle's personality, he would most likely refuse or take less.
Therefore, Jiang Yu took the money before Ninth Uncle could speak. Because Jiang Yu was different from Ninth Uncle. In Jiang Yu's eyes, this was a business practice of " you pay, I do things ". There was nothing wrong with it.
If he had more money, would the above things still happen?
"Hey, don't say that Master is unfair. This time, it's all your credit for killing the demons.”
After saying that, Ninth Uncle opened the money bag and took out four pieces from it for Jiang Yu.
Jiang Yu knew that money was essential on the path of cultivation, so he did not stand on ceremony with Ninth Uncle. After thanking him, he put away the four yuan. Although four yuan was a little less, it was enough for the time being. Everything could be done slowly. There was no hurry.
