As soon as the man finished speaking, someone else disagreed: "Who is an outsider? That's the village chief. Everyone in the village doesn't believe him. Anyway, if I were Gong Jian's family, I would give the key to the village chief
.At least, I can feel at ease."
Listening to the mixed discussions around, most people supported giving the key to the village chief. Of course, some people thought it was incredible that the eldest brother, who was in the village, would give the key to an outsider. Anyway, no matter what he thought,
have.
The old village chief also had mixed feelings. Just now when everyone proposed to contact Gong Jian's family to check what was missing in the yard, the village chief thought about taking out the key and letting everyone go in and take a look.
After all, it would take a lot of time to contact Gong Jian's family now. It is more important to find out as soon as possible whether a thief entered Gong Jian's house and stole something.
The village chief was also afraid that after he took out the key, someone would talk about it. There was no such precedent in the village. Anyone who leaves the village and does not keep the key to his or her courtyard will instead entrust the key to others.
Take care of it.
When Gong Jian handed over the key to him, the village chief rejected it several times. But in the end he was convinced by Gong Jian. After all, Gong Jian said sincerely about the possibility of his family returning to the village.
Relatively low. After all, Gong Jian's family did not buy any land in the village. The second son of the Gong family received two acres of barren dry land. And those two acres of land had been sold long ago because he was treating Gong Jian's father.
Already.
Since his family became rich, Gong Jian has also discussed this matter with his family. However, because their village is originally on the edge of the mountain, there are few fields nearby. It is not easy to buy good fields. There is no land every year.
Wherever there is land, wasteland can be reclaimed and turned into new fields. So although the family had money at that time, they really could not buy suitable land around the village. Later, Gong Jian came up with the idea of moving the family out of the village.
, I never cared about this issue again.
When Gong Jian left, he handed the key to the village chief. He just wanted to wait for a while, and when the news of their move became too much to hide, he hoped that the village chief could give him the yard.
Find a buyer.
Gong Jian's intention is not that he must earn this amount of money, but mainly that he entrusts it to the village chief, hoping that he can see any families in need in the village, or who is in urgent need of housing, and he can offer it at a low price.
Rent or sell the small yard to that person. As for the money gained, Gong Jian never thought about taking it back. Instead, he told the village chief that it could be placed with the village chief. It could be regarded as an emergency sum of money. It could also be regarded as money for their family.
Some of the things people do in the village.
When the village chief was hesitant and refused to talk about the key, another consideration was about this. He felt that just a few months had passed, and if he took out the key and let everyone know, Gong Jian and his family would leave the village.
, he would never come back. The village chief was afraid of causing any trouble to Gong Jian's family. The main reason was that they all knew that what Gong Jian's family wanted to guard against was their uncle, the boss of the Gong family.
But now the village chief finally decided to take out the key. Mainly because he was worried whether a thief had really entered Gong Jian's house. Although he knew that Gong Jian's house must not have anything valuable, the village chief also
I was worried that when the thief was angry that there was no money to steal, he would make some extreme reaction and destroy Gong Jian's house instead.
Besides, people around him were urging him to contact Gong Jian's family. But the village chief knew clearly that even if thieves entered Gong Jian's house, because some of the family members did not have any belongings, they would demolish the whole house in a vicious manner, which would be very harmful to Gong Jian's family.
For Jian, it didn't matter. In this way, in fact, the moment Gong Jian left him, he had already transferred the whole yard to the village chief.
Although the village chief felt that it was not long enough to conceal Gong Jian's departure from the village. But now that the matter has reached this stage, he decided to take out the key directly. Sure enough, just as the village chief originally thought, when
As soon as he mentioned the key, Uncle Gong Jian immediately got angry.
In response to Uncle Gong Jian's question, the village chief did not say anything to refute. In the past few days, Uncle Gong Jian kept appearing in front of him. He was talking a lot, just wanted to find out about the situation of Gong Jian's family, and even more so.
, I was very concerned about my brothers and their family, and was worried about why there was no news about their family until now. I didn’t know that I once mentioned that I wanted to go to Gong Jian’s house to see the situation.
At that time, the village chief did not say a word, let alone say that he had the key. Therefore, the village chief knew very well that the question raised by Uncle Gong Jian at this time was just because of his imbalance in his heart.
And without any explanation, many people around him were already complaining about the village chief. Of course, there are also some people who don’t understand the reason why Gong Jian’s family did this. But most people still think that Gong Jian’s family is like this
It's the right thing to do.
The village chief didn't pay too much attention to such discussions. Originally, this matter was just between him and Gong Jian. Besides, this matter has happened for several months, and now these people are nothing more than
It was just a habit of talking nonsense, and it had nothing to do with the development of this matter. The person who showed great anger there was just Uncle Gong Jian.
Indeed, now Uncle Gong Jian is extremely angry. He never thought that after he had been talking about it for so long, the key to Gong Jian's house would actually be in the hands of the old village chief. He was able to get close to the old village chief and show his presence.
I feel like it, but it’s been a while. But this old guy didn’t say a word.
What's more, he and his mother-in-law had to do something like climbing into the wall of Gong Jian's house in the middle of the night. Not only did he not get anything, but he also left the kitchen knife at home there. At this time, Uncle Gong Jian thought
When he got up, he felt secretly angry. He felt that the village chief was to blame for all these things, and even more so Gong Jian, who had handed the key to the village chief.
But no matter what, he still had to hold back his anger, and he and Gong Jian's wife stood there angrily. He wanted to take a look and let everyone in the village see the empty situation in Gong Jian's house.
How should the village chief answer at that time? How should he tell the whereabouts of Gong Jian's family?
Soon, the village chief's youngest son ran over and saw that everyone was not at the gate of Gong Jian's house yet. He hurriedly greeted people, separated from the crowd and walked in. As he walked, he showed everyone the money in his hands.
