80s Taoism

Zhang Manyin is in a very bad mood these days. At first, everyone in Meizitang praised Zhang Manyin and Ma Donghua. It made the old couple happy for a while. But I didn't expect the limelight to turn sharply, and now everyone in the village is complaining about Zhang Manyin and Ma Donghua. Blame Zhang Manyin and Ma Donghua for deliberately talking nonsense and slandering the immortal in order to get their grandson to sell more amulets. Especially after Tang Guanying brought his old father to Duomen Mountain to inquire about immortals, Mei Zitang's resentment towards Zhang Manyin and Ma Donghua became heavier.

Zhang Manyin met Zhang Genxin on the road, and went up to say hello and asked about Zhang Genxin's situation. Because Zhang Genxin was bedridden with illness before, seeing him go out, he must have just recovered from a serious illness.

"Brother Genxin, how is your body?"

Unexpectedly, Zhang Genxin didn't give him a good look, and gave Zhang Manyin a disgusted look, "Manyin, I thought you were a good person before. But I didn't expect you to cheat the villagers with no conscience in order to make the beggars sell more amulets. It almost delayed my illness. Fortunately, I went to Duomen Mountain and asked the fairy head for a bowl of fairy water. Otherwise, I might not be able to get out of bed this time. Man Yin, you have to be conscientious."

"Brother Genxin, why do you still go to Duomen Mountain to ask the fairy? Didn't I tell you that the fairy can absorb yang energy?" Zhang Manyin asked with some concern.

"Sucking Yang Qi, that's your beggar's nonsense. If the elder fairy sucks my Yang Qi, can I be cured of my illness? If I suck Yang Qi, I can still get out of bed? Forget it, I'm too lazy to tell you. You go back and tell the beggar that this amulet must be returned to me. Otherwise, this relative will not have to do it!" Zhang Genxin dropped the words and walked away.

After being annoyed, Zhang Manyin returned home, sighing, his unhappiness was written all over his face.

"What made you sigh so much?" Ma Donghua saw that something was wrong with the old man today.

"Why else? It's not a beggar yet." Zhang Manyin explained the situation.

Ma Donghua was stunned, "That's not right. Didn't Cuiying and the others keep having nightmares when they came back from asking the immortals? Didn't they finally get better after wearing the beggar's amulet? Qiaohong is the same. At that time, they were all grateful to beggars, why did they turn around and complain about beggars?"

"Who knows what happened to Zigui? Genxin also said that Xianniang cured his illness. He said that the amulet should be returned to the beggar." Zhang Manyin sighed again.

"Back off, back off, I'll call the caller back. Someone wants to return the amulet and ask the caller to take it all back. No matter what happens in the future, don't meddle in other people's business. Just say that in the future, you don't let the caller meddle in these nosy affairs. There are some nosy things that you shouldn't meddle in. Later, when the caller comes back, don't blame the caller. The caller is our grandson. Don't we know who he is? Can you trick the villagers for some money?" Ma Donghua sees it more thoroughly than Zhang Manyin. .

Zhang Manyin nodded, "If I knew it was like this, I shouldn't let the beggar meddle in these nosy things. These people really hate saying that you are very kind when they ask you, and saying that you are nothing when they don't want you."

Ma Donghua went to the garden immediately and told Zhang Jiaohua about the situation, but Zhang Jiaohua was very calm.

"Yes, grandma, go and call the people in the village later. If they want to return the amulet to me, they should return it as soon as possible. I will return them the red envelopes they gave back untouched. Fortunately, I haven't moved their red envelopes yet, so I know this matter is over, and there will be endless things." Zhang Jiaohua was not angry at all.

"It's all my grandma's meddling back then. You had nothing to do with this matter. It's all grandma's concern for the folks in her big hometown, and she helped if she could. I didn't expect it to turn out like this now." Ma Donghua took everything on herself.

"It's really all right, grandma. It's not your fault." Zhang Jiaohua took out all the red envelopes he had received, with names written on them. After getting the red envelope, Zhang Jiaohua directly wrote a name on it, originally to know who in the village got how much money. I didn't expect it to come in handy now.

Holding his breath, Zhang Manyin went around the Meizitang, and told all the people who had invited the amulets to return the amulets in the old house, "Hurry up if you want to return the amulets. I won't ask you for a penny."

"It's best not to. I sealed a big red envelope back then. It's best to return all the money to me, or don't blame me for losing my temper." Zhang Genxin seemed to have a feud with Zhang Manyin.

"Don't worry. The beggars wrote their names on the red envelopes you gave to the beggars when you asked for talismans. They won't give you a penny less, and they won't give you a penny more. Will my beggars be short of this money now? There is no place for the beggars to spend the tea dividends in the gardening field." Zhang Manyin also snorted.

"Wen Rong, take back a talisman and write your name on it. No matter who it is, I will never give this person my talisman again." Zhang Jiaohua said.

"Yes." Zhang Wenrong hurriedly took a notebook to record. Since none of the red envelopes were touched at the beginning, the work of returning the symbols went very smoothly.

Originally, Zhang Genxin wanted the lion to open his mouth and say how much money he paid in the red package last time. But now he really didn't dare to ask for it randomly, because everyone else had matched the numbers. If he opened his mouth like a lion, he would certainly not be able to extort a penny from Zhang Jiaohua, and the villagers would look down on him.

"Jiaohua, it seems that you still have self-knowledge. You already knew that the people in the village wanted to return the talisman. You knew not to touch the money. It seems that these ill-gotten gains are very hot in your hands." Zhang Genxin looked at Zhang Jiaohua jokingly.

"The money has been refunded to you, what else do you want to do?" Zhang Wenrong stood up uncontrollably, pointing to Zhang Genxin and said.

"Should I say no to beggars defrauding villagers of their money?" Zhang Genxin was not afraid.

Zhang Jiaohua held Zhang Wenrong back, "Forget it. Whatever they say. Anyway, the talisman is returned, the money is returned, and everyone is settled. We don't need to say anything."

There are not many back signs. Zhang Genxin's family was the most active in retreating, and all of them returned. Zhang Jiaohua didn't say much from the beginning to the end. Others thought he was unhappy. In fact, he was too lazy to talk to these people.

The next day, Zhang Genxin went to Duomen Mountain again, gathered here and there to prepare a big red envelope, and threw it into the merit box without hesitation.

"Shangxian, I came here today to fulfill my wish. Thank you for saving my life. Zhang Genxin bowed down on the futon very piously. But he didn't realize that after every bow, something was always missing from his body. But Zhang Genxin didn't feel anything wrong, instead he felt like he was in a trance.

Zhang Genxin lay devoutly on the futon, as if he had fallen asleep.
