"No! No! I am the heaven and earth, I worship Hongwu Taizu and Guan Gong." Seeing that my father suddenly got angry, Huangmao quickly explained.

Old Man Huang seemed to have found a partner to vent, and all the resentment of these years erupted. He glared at his son fiercely, and then shouted: "It's the foreign sect that is the foreign sect! Half of our towns believe in the foreign sect of Chen Guangming! Do you know how shameless they are? They never worship their ancestors. Even the ancestral hall needs to be rebuilt, and these beasts don't pay for it! The town collects money to worship the Dragon King, but they don't pay for it, and they don't participate! As a result, they haven't worshipped the Dragon King for two years! They don't worship all the Dragon King on the Dragon Boat Festival and Qingming Festival! So God got angry! The town wanted to invite a opera troupe. They also refused to join in, but now there is no need to watch the opera during the Chinese New Year!"

"Who is Chen Guangming? There is no surname Chen in the town." Huangmao said in surprise.

"French missionaries, Catholics." explained the second sister-in-law who had been in the city.

"A barbarian is a Chinese name on purpose. Is he worthy?" Old Man Huang seemed to be unable to skin the man, but his wife said, "Don't say that, aren't they banned opium and repairing the clinic?" "Get out! Men speak, women don't interrupt!" Old Man Huang yelled at his wife angrily.

But the old husband and wife were a little bit naughty. She whispered to her son: "Your second sister-in-law is treating her illness in a foreign clinic now."

After talking for a while, Huang Mao finally understood why his father was angry and Shen Guangming. In fact, not only his father, but also the non-believers in the town were disgusting.

When Catholics entered the church, they asked believers to give up many characteristics of Chinese life: for example, abandoning the "religious beliefs and customs of all pagans, not selling and smoking opium, not participating in folk festivals (including drama performances) and working on Sundays, not taking concubines, and especially giving up ancestral worship.

Moreover, as a town with 6,700 people, in the past, some public activities were paid for by the whole town, such as water conservancy, worshiping various gods and praying for good weather, and asking opera troupes to entertain everyone.

If a person does not participate, he will be scolded to death by everyone and will not be able to stay in the town.

But Zhao Kuo killed the whole family of the former Huang Lao patriarch, and the leader was left without a leader. With the beautiful expectation of killing Qing Yao Jiantian Kingdom, the foreign sect also slipped in. Now Yangping Town cannot hold most of the traditional activities that foreign sect believers do not participate, because half of them do not participate or pay. Others think that they are losing money by paying double payments. Moreover, the village chiefs are all believers, and they do not take the lead. Other non-believers are just a mess.

In the eyes of Mr. Huang, Chen Guangming not only hindered the worship of the gods and caused the weather to be unable to be good, but also because Chen Guangming was also a big landlord. They relied on overseas funds to acquire one-third of the land in Yangping Town, and many of the people who were still farming became tenant farmers in the church.

Moreover, the church members looked down upon. They were all poor people who were unable to marry their wives, second-rate women who were not worthy of visiting the ancestral hall were the first to believe in Catholicism. Thinking about it, we can see that this Catholicism is completely separated from tradition. It is not the marginal people who lived too much in the past and were not accepted by their own people. Who would join the church?

The life of self-cultivated farmers is very sad. First, they cannot do spinning, which means they have lost money to buy pork for their family for the New Year; second, prices are rising, buffaloes, ploughing tools, etc. are becoming more and more expensive, and only the landlords have the money to buy these things; third, people engaged in industrial and commercial activities are also richer than farmers. They may return to their hometowns to purchase land for bankrupt farmers, or they may become accustomed to urban life and do not have land.

Just like the two brothers of Huangmao, they were forced to make money on the verge of bankruptcy at first, but now they don’t even plant land, so Mr. Huang can only sell the land to others.

Now in the countryside, you either become a big landlord or you can only work as a worker or a tenant farmer.

Moreover, in order to expand his influence, Chen Guangming kept interfering in the government office of Fogang Hall. If his believers were suing others, he would definitely lead the believers to contribute money and efforts to support his own people. Who else can do this to their hearts?

So he has more and more believers, but there are obvious moral flaws, and many of them are aimed at joining the Catholic Church without losing.

"It's usually like a slut. Once you enter the foreign sect, you are as cruel as a tiger! You walk sideways in the town! You are all doing the foreign sects! Look now, your two brothers are getting thinner and thinner, and your eldest sister-in-law will shed your hands every time you come back. Your second sister-in-law coughs up blood, and your body is over. They have magic tricks! Have you become an official? Once you become an official, you will drive away the bastards Chen Guangming!" Old Man Huang yelled at his son.

"I didn't become an official." Huang Mao replied angrily.

"You are still carrying a gun, and the court has started the land?" asked the father.

"I have also seen Christian pastors in the army, so I'm not so fucked." He coughed in confusion and said in order to divert his father's attention: "I bought it myself. I'm not a regular high-cap army, oh. By the way, are you still fighting now? If you fight, I will leave the gun at home, maybe the town will use the ground."

Old Man Huang snorted coldly: "What's the fight? There is a newly opened arms factory of the Zheng brothers in Fogang Hall. Now every village has a large number of muskets, land and cannons. In the past, a few people killed by the fight, and he could draw lots for his young people to hand them over to the government to kill them. Now there are guns everywhere. Isn't fighting a war? How many people will die? Which village dares? And everyone is making money, many young people have gone to the city, and no one has fought the fight."

"It's okay." Huangmao said: "I met Li Dayu. He has been away for ten years. I wonder if his mother is so nice. "My mother Li Dayu?" The whole family immediately paused with a weird expression.

"What's wrong? It's gone?" Huangmao asked.

"Just three months old."

"How did you die?" Huang Mao was stunned, and then felt uncomfortable. He could already think of what the big fish would cry now.

"You're so scared to death after being sued. I was locked up in Fogang Hall for two months. When I came back, I got sick and never got up again." said the second sister-in-law.

"She is a midwife! What kind of lawsuit can she take?" Huangmao's face was shocked. This was incredible.

"It's not the beasts that Chen Guangming did it!" Old Man Huang gritted his teeth and said, "Some of their believers reported that Li Dayu's mother drowned the baby girl! As a result, officials came to Fogang Hall and arrested her and asked who told her to drown her baby girl. How many times did she do it? She was scared to death when she came back."

"I don't want to give birth to a girl. Isn't it okay to drown?" Huang Mao was stunned: "This is too much!"

"It's all for the baby-raising hall in Fogang Hall. If you don't let drown, they can send it to the female foreign demons." Huangmao's mother interrupted, "I heard that the children inside read the Four Books and Five Classics with the men and women's foreigners at a very young age. When they grow up, they have a villain in their stomachs. Hold their hearts. At that time, you put them on the fire and they will not betray the foreign religion."

"Who told me? It's so unethical!" Huangmao gritted her teeth fiercely and shouted with her fingers: "He should be beaten to death!"

"Everyone says it was Ercang's informant." Old Man Huang said in a low voice.
