Zhao Huanyu was instantly laughed out of anger. She was rich, so she deserved to pay more, right?
The most ridiculous thing is that this is the village of the Wan family, and the people who use it the most are naturally the Wan family. But they actually said that her family uses it a lot. What does this mean?
If these people came to talk to her properly, she might take the initiative to say that she would contribute more money, but if their attitude was so tough and they felt that she should contribute more money, and they were so confident, then she would not do it.
She looked at the village chief and said, "The village chief thinks so too, doesn't he?"
Zhao Huanyu didn't look at the expressions of the other people at all. She just looked at the village chief to see what he had to say.
The village chief looked embarrassed. He also knew that this was indeed wrong, but so many elders in the clan came to see him, and he really couldn't refuse, so he had to bring them here.
Sitting here now, I really feel sorry for Zhao Huanyu.
"Xiaoyu, this..."
The village chief grabbed his thighs with both hands in embarrassment, but he couldn't speak.
"What are you stammering about? This road construction is a big deal, you have to ask her to come up with the money!"
An old man next to him grabbed the village chief and pretended to whisper.
He thought he spoke very quietly, but in fact, even Mr. Gao heard it.
Zhao Huanyu sneered, and the village chief became even more embarrassed and said: "Our village is going to build roads, and every household will have to spend money..."
Zhao Huanyu was the first to say: "Okay, how much other people's families pay will be my family's. They will never take advantage of the village. Don't worry, Grandpa Village Chief."
"Hey! How can you say this? We are here tonight to tell you that if your family has money, if you spend more, the people in the village will be grateful to you!"
The old man who had been talking to the village chief couldn't help but speak on his own, and he spoke so confidently.
"I know, this is indeed a bit embarrassing..."
The old man still wanted to talk, but Zhao Huanyu interrupted him again and said: "Since you know it's difficult for others, why do you still talk?"
"You! How did your family educate you? Don't you know that you can't interrupt your elders when they are talking?"
The old man's eyes widened with anger. He decided not to talk nonsense to Zhao Huanyu and turned his attention to the Gao family. At this time, Zhao Dafu came in.
He looked at some unreasonable old men inside and said in a cold voice: "The village needs to build roads. My family is willing to spend the same money as everyone else, but it will never be a penny more than anyone else's! My Xiaoyu is a little girl who has not yet reached hairpins.
, how much money can you make?”
He originally thought that his daughter had the final say in the family and he was not going to interfere, but when these people came to bully the family, he couldn't bear it, especially when it was his daughter who was bullying them.
No matter how incompetent he is as a father, he cannot let his daughter be bullied casually.
"You think my family is rich, how much money can my family have? The money I finally saved, some time ago, everyone helped my family find iron beans. Everyone gave me five taels of silver, and the family's wealth was completely drained. I have been working hard these days to pay back
Why do you want my family to spend more money building roads without making money back?"
He was a little timid at first, but as he spoke, he seemed not to be so scared anymore, and continued: "To put it bluntly, Changshui Village is still the territory of your Wan family, and the ones who have the most contacts are your Wan family, and our Zhao family, the president
There are only two households, why should we spend more money? Is it possible that because our Zhao family has only a small number of people, we deserve to be bullied?"
Zhao Dafu had a majestic figure and stood in the main room, giving people a strong sense of oppression. The old men could not sit still for a while, but when they thought that they were fighting for the benefits of their tribe, they straightened their backs.
"Dafu, why do you speak so harshly? When did we bully the Zhao family? I just said that your family is relatively rich, so wouldn't it be a good thing to spend more to help the village build roads? Look at what you are doing
Do you care so much?"
"Yes, we are doing this for the good of the village. If the road had been repaired early, your iron beans would not be buried under the snow. Do you think this is true?"
"I heard that your family has opened a shop in the town. There must be a lot of people buying New Year's goods at the end of this period. They should make a lot of money, right? What if you just take some out?"
…
Several old men said something thick-skinned. Zhao Dafu was anxious to see Zhao Huanyu. Zhao Huanyu knew that his father had really tried his best, so he got up and pulled him to sit down. Then he said: "It doesn't cost you money, everyone just stands."
It doesn’t hurt my back, but I would like to ask you, if you want me to spend more money to build roads, how much are you going to take?"
Several people looked at each other and thought that Zhao Huanyu had compromised, so they said happily: "We are all poor people. We don't make money as fast as you. We can only pay two taels of silver per family. Your family is so rich. We
I don’t need much, just two hundred taels is enough.”
Ask her to give out a hundred times more than they do, and then say they don't want more?
It really gives them face, right?
Zhao Huanyu looked at the village chief. The village chief turned his head guiltily and said to a few old men: "Two hundred taels is too much..."
His family had taken a lot of benefits from Zhao Huanyu. If these old men hadn't forced him, he wouldn't have been willing to come. But these old men threatened him as the clan leader, so he came here bravely.
He knew that after experiencing this incident, the Zhao family would definitely hate him.
"hehe."
Zhao Huanyu laughed coldly, feeling that this group of people was really funny. She looked at one of the old men and said, "If I remember correctly, all four of your family helped find my brother and took away twenty
Two taels, plus the previous savings at home, how can we only provide two taels of silver? It is ridiculous to say that I have not made back the cost of doing business, and my family is not as rich as everyone else. If I want the rich people in the family to spend
If you have the most money to build roads, then I suggest the village chief publicly liquidate the property of each family to see whose family is the richest."
"You, you, you, how can you say such a thing? It's not easy for us to make such a small amount of money all year round! It's not like you, who can make a lot of money by doing some business..."
"Big, big money?"
Zhao Huanyu looked at him and asked: "Did you see with your own eyes that I made a lot of money? I only make a few pennies every day from doing a small business. How come it becomes a big sum in your eyes?"
A lot of money? I won’t lie to you. If I really made a lot of money, I wouldn’t want to stay here. I would have taken my family to live in the city. Do you understand?”
Her eyes glanced at each of them unkindly, with a sarcastic smile on her face. She wanted to make money from her, which was a beautiful idea.
