The courtyard of the village chief's house was full of people. The village chief was smoking a cigarette and sitting in the main room waiting.
When Daniel and Yinghua came, they saw the courtyard door open and walked in directly.
"Daniu and Yinghua are here." Seeing them coming, the people in the yard hurriedly made way for the two of them, their eyes still following the cloth bag in Daniel's hand.
Daniel walked into the main room and called out: "Village Chief."
Yinghua also called out: "Uncle the village chief."
"Here we come!" The village chief smiled and knocked the ashes from his pipe, then inserted the pipe into his belt.
"This is six hundred taels of silver from selling big insects yesterday." Daniel put the cloth bag on the table.
The village chief stood up and opened the cloth bag, and the snow-white silver ingot appeared in front of everyone.
"Wow! That's a lot of money."
"Six hundred taels, it turns out to be such a big pile!"
"The silver looks good, it's as white as snow."
When the villagers saw so much silver, their eyes shone. After a while, they would be able to divide the silver and take it home.
"Ms. Chun Cao, how do your family plan to spend so much money?"
"My Chuncao will be fifteen next year, and we plan to give Chuncao five taels of silver as a dowry. The rest will be used by Gouwa to marry his wife." They are the only ones in Shan'ao Village to use the five taels of silver as a dowry.
This girl has a large dowry, so she can be tough in her husband's family.
"The dog is only ten years old!"
"Doesn't this wife have to be prepared in advance? How do you plan to spend it?"
"Me! I plan to go to my daughter's village, buy a few acres of land, and build a house."
"Are you moving out?"
"Hey! Our Shan'ao village is too remote, and it's in the mountains. It's not convenient to go anywhere." In the past, she had no money and had no choice but to live here. Now that she has money, she can move if she can. This
There is no land for farming in the mountain valley, so they can only rely on hunting. Although hunting can also make money, it is very dangerous in the mountains. Anyway, they just want to farm the land in a down-to-earth manner and live a stable life.
"Too."
The money hasn't been divided yet, but many villagers have already thought about how to spend it.
The village chief looked at the white money and said with a smile: "I have never had so much money in my life!"
"Village chief, we have never met him."
"Hahaha..." Many villagers laughed.
"Village chief, please share it with us quickly! Let us take the money home as soon as possible."
"Ahem." The village chief coughed, looked at the villagers inside and outside the house and said, "Before we part ways, I have something to say."
"Village chief, please tell me."
"Speak quickly," the villager urged.
The village chief said: "I know that the big insect was sold for six hundred taels of silver. Everyone is very happy. To be honest, as the village chief, I am also very happy. Although the big insect was killed by the big cow, the big cow is good to others and does not monopolize it.
, I am willing to share it equally with everyone. This is a good thing. However, we cannot do this, so I propose that of the 600 taels of silver, 200 taels should be given to Daniel, and the remaining 400 taels should be given to our village except
In my family, nineteen households share it equally, and each family gets twenty-one taels. For the extra one tael, let’s go to the city to buy some good wine and bring it back to practice it for Daniel.”
"this……"
After hearing what the village chief said, many people's expressions changed.
It was agreed that the family would share thirty taels of silver, but now they have to give Daniel two hundred taels. They have lost ten taels of silver in vain, and many people still can't accept it.
When Daniel heard this, he hurriedly said: "The village chief doesn't have to be like this..."
"Stop talking." The village chief interrupted him directly and his expression changed.
"What's wrong? Are you unhappy?" His tone became a little more serious.
"We agreed to split it equally," a woman murmured in a low voice. She had already thought about how to spend it, but now she was short ten taels, so she couldn't buy much land.
"You can't change just because you want it, because the big guys don't say anything?"
"that is."
After hearing these words, the village chief's face turned even darker. He didn't expect that there were so many greedy people in their Shan'ao Village.
"If Da Niu doesn't say anything, it's because he has a good heart and shares it equally with everyone. That's because he is thinking of everyone's good. You should also know that Da Niu is leaving, going to the imperial city. It's such a long way.
, how can he not bring more money with him? He thinks about everyone's good and thinks about everyone, why can't you think about Ren Da Niu. Don't forget, this big bug was killed by Ren Da Niu. Even if it's a point
If I don’t give it to you, then you have nothing to say.”
"The men in our family also contributed!"
"That's right." Several women whispered.
The village chief sneered and said, "I heard everything you said when you came back the day before yesterday. Some of them were so scared that they peed their pants when they saw the big insect rushing towards them! It was the big bull riding on the back of the big insect and using his fists
Those of you who beat the big bug to death followed you up the mountain, but you just hit the big bug a few times with a stick."
Because at that time, the big bull was riding on him, and the people who followed him up the mountain did not dare to shoot arrows, for fear of hurting the big bull. A few brave people hit the big bug with sticks. Many people were frightened when they saw the big bug.
My legs were weak and I didn't dare to step forward at all.
Several hunters who followed him up the mountain lowered their heads and blushed. They were so frightened that they peed their pants.
The village chief glanced around and said: "With all the effort you have put in, twenty taels is a lot for you, right? You should be satisfied. If it weren't for the big cows, you would have been able to share so much prey in the past two months."
?This man! He must know how to be grateful and how to be satisfied.”
