Although the Zhang family has saved some money since last year, the total sum is not as much as twenty taels. Moreover, the money is basically scraps of silver. How can it have the impact of such a gold ingot placed in front of it.
Even so, Zhang Li would not betray Su Yueling for the money.
Yes, she had guessed a long time ago that the person behind this woman must be here for Yueling. As soon as this road is repaired, everyone will say good things about Yueling. If there is a diarrhea accident, who knows what will happen outside
No matter how harsh some people say it, it might even lead to a lawsuit.
If she betrayed Yueling for the money, she would lose her conscience. The good life they have now in Lushan Village is all thanks to Yueling. The cotton they weave was also purchased with money from the Yuan family.
Zhang Li made up her mind to tell Yueling about this and help her find out who was behind it.
She deliberately showed a salivating and greedy expression, "Do you really want to give these twenty taels to me?"
The Zhou Lie family member looked at her expression in his eyes and became more and more contemptuous, "Of course, if you don't believe it, I can give you five taels of silver first, and then I will give you the remaining fifteen taels after the matter is completed."
Zhou Lie's family handed her a pack of crotons.
Zhang Li took it and asked, "How can I contact you after the matter is completed?"
Zhou Lijia thought for a while and told her where she stayed.
Zhang Li will keep it in mind.
Zhou Lie's family took out five taels of silver. Zhang Li couldn't wait to put it away and bit it with her teeth - it was pure silver!
When Zhou Li's family saw that she had collected the money, they became convinced and decided to pursue them while the heat was hot. "I heard that the country gentleman got a lot of glutinous rice to build roads?"
"Yes, I've seen it, it's indeed all glutinous rice." Zhang Li wanted to see what else this man wanted to do.
Zhou Li's family said: "I don't believe that glutinous rice can build roads. Aren't using glutinous rice and using rice the same? It's just that using glutinous rice sounds more novel."
"I have a relative who owns a grain store. A lot of the moldy old rice there is just a waste. I think we should work together to move the glutinous rice away and replace it with the old rice. Then we will get the money.
, let’s share it together.”
"If it goes well, you can get a share of more than 500 taels at least. With this money, do you still need to do hard work for others? If you use it to buy land, the annual income from the land will be more than 500 taels.
"
"Really?" Zhang Li's voice broke.
The Zhou Lie family member smiled and said, "Why did I lie to you?"
If this thing goes well, my wife will definitely not come to her to ask for the money. The money from the resale will be in her pocket. The Zhou Lie family is not worried that Zhang Li will identify her in the future. When this matter is over
After that, she returned directly to the state capital and was always by her wife's side, where ordinary people like Zhang Li could see her at will.
It was also for this reason that she personally came forward to cooperate with Zhang Li. If she found someone else to do the job, there would be more risks with one more person. When she came back this time, she only brought two sons besides herself.
.
Zhang Li said: "I will try to find out everyone's opinions in the past few days, and then select the manpower."
The Zhou Lie family breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, I'll wait for your good news."
Zhang Li looked at her leaving figure, her original flattering smile disappeared, and she spat fiercely at Zhou Lie's family.
As soon as she turned around, Mrs. Zhang Li went home that day to discuss the matter with Su Yueling.
"I see that the person is wearing silk. The person behind her must be of high status." The servants of wealthy families in the city cannot afford to wear silk and satin.
"And the other person's hands are very white and have no calluses at all. It can be seen that although she is a servant, she has never done any work."
Zhang Li also took out the five taels of silver she had collected along with Croton.
Yuan Baoshu was very angry. Her sister-in-law was obviously doing good things, but why could someone not see her as a good person and insist on resorting to such despicable methods? The other party's behavior was quite unscrupulous. You know, if Croton is not done well,
It might cause the person to collapse, or even kill him. In order to harm his sister-in-law, he didn't even care about his life.
Su Yueling said: "When the other party takes the initiative to give you money, just accept it."
"How stingy. I only paid five taels for your deposit. Otherwise, I could have gotten you more money."
Just five taels of silver, who are you looking down on?
She pondered for a moment and then said: "Select the ten most diligent villagers in each village to build roads later, and then let them work with you."
"How much can you deceive from the opponent's hands?"
Think of it as the other party helping to distribute bonuses.
"After Nuomi has moved, we will catch the turtle in the jar and accuse her of theft."
Who is behind the other party? Once in jail, there will be officials to help interrogate him.
Ms. Zhang Li was beaming. She liked this! Not only could she help Su Yueling, but she could also make a fortune. She wouldn't mind if such a good thing happened again and again.
After Zhang Li left, Su Yueling opened the envelope sent from the state capital.
The letter stated that Chen Youfei and his wife were having a private wedding and were caught by someone.
Then Lao Song must have found someone to help polish it, and the whole scene was written vividly and immersively. Su Yueling thought about finding someone to write a relevant script, and let the theater troupe rehearse it, and then come to the nearby countryside
A patrol performance.
Su Yueling felt at ease knowing that the entire state government basically knew about this.
Under this situation, if someone else takes the initiative to jump into the fire pit, Su Yueling can only respect the blessing.
…
Zhang Li ran to tell the chief of Lushan Village and the chief of Rizhuang Village what happened to Zhou Lie's family.
The two village chiefs were very angry and said that they would cooperate with Zhang Li's actions, not only to find out the villain behind it, but also to make the other party pay the price and lose his reputation.
The two village chiefs selected the most diligent group based on everyone's performance this month, and ten were selected from each village.
After hearing the inside story, these villagers expressed that they would perform well.
But before that, they couldn't help but ask again and again.
"Does Xiangjun really know this? She asked us to do this, right?"
Mrs. Zhang Li knew what they were thinking, nodded and said, "Yes! She ordered us to do this, saying that we have worked hard during this period and she wants to give us bonuses."
The villagers were so moved that they almost cried. They had enough to eat every day, money to take, and a good reputation. Every day when they built roads, they just felt that they had endless strength. Under such circumstances, the township gentleman actually still
She wanted to give them extra money, but for such a good person, someone wanted to frame her. So everyone started to share the same hatred and expressed their determination to help find the culprit.
Mrs. Zhang Li told them, "Don't let it slip when the time comes."
Zhang Li soon led the twenty people to find Zhou Lie's family.
When Zhou Lie's family saw them, they were shocked by the battle, "Why are there so many people?"
Zhang Li said: "Because we only have the opportunity to move the glutinous rice tomorrow night, and it will be my nephew's turn to guard the warehouse tomorrow night, so we have to move everything out in one night."
Zhou Lie's family also understands this, but when she looks at so many people, she is afraid that they will spill the beans, and she is even more worried that there are people here who are not of the same mind as her.
Zhang Li said: "If you feel uneasy, why not give each of us twenty taels of silver? Then everyone is on the same boat, can they still betray you?"
"When the time comes to buy glutinous rice, you can deduct twenty taels per person from it."
Zhou Lie's family thinks this is reasonable. But there are so many people, twenty people, if each person is divided into twenty taels, it will be 400 taels. She only brought 500 taels when she came out this time. This money allowed her to
I felt so distressed.
She asked, "How much glutinous rice did Mr. Weiguo buy?"
Zhang Li said: "Don't worry, I've seen the account books, and those glutinous rice are worth more than 5,000 taels."
Five thousand taels...
The Zhou Lie family's heart moved, "Okay."
She quickly exchanged the five hundred taels of silver notes into silver and distributed them one by one.
After the twenty people had finished dividing, Mrs. Zhang Li stretched out her hand and said, "I have twenty taels."
The corner of Zhou Lie's mouth twitched, and he gritted his teeth, but reluctantly gave Zhang and Li another twenty taels.
Zhang Li and other villagers were very excited. They didn't expect the money to come so easily. Yueling said that it was up to them to get as much money as they wanted. If it fell into their pockets, it would be their money.
Thank you Yueling for giving them bonuses! They must work hard and live up to Yueling's trust in them.

The villagers were moved: The village gentleman was so kind to us that he could not repay him even if he was a cow or a horse.
