Chapter 238 There are so many sour goods in the village
The village chief also hurriedly stood up and said: "I'm telling you that Xiaoyu doesn't have much money left. I gave each person five taels of silver before. There are so many people in the village, and they gave hundreds of taels at least. How could she still get it?"
To get so much money? Aren’t you making things difficult?”
He was afraid that Zhao Huanyu would misunderstand, so he hurriedly stood up and helped speak.
But the fact that he brought someone here tonight has already hurt Zhao Huanyu's heart. She used to respect him quite a lot, but she was thinking about going to his house as a New Year's gift in two days, but now she has lost her mind a lot.
Several old men looked at each other and were speechless for a moment. They did not expect such a result.
I originally thought that Zhao Huanyu could generously give five taels of silver to each person, which meant that she must have a lot of money. It would not be a big deal for her to spend two hundred taels to build roads. Why did it end up like this?
Seeing that they were silent, Zhao Huanyu said again: "You can also ask me to come up with two hundred taels of silver."
Seeing the hope of getting money, the eyes of several old men started to shine again.
But what Zhao Huanyu said next made all of them blush.
"As you know, my house is newly built, and I also bought a shop in the town, as well as the fields at home. If I sell them all, I can barely scrape together two hundred taels of silver."
"I don't ask you to give me two hundred taels of silver. As long as each of you gives one hundred taels of silver, I won't care too much about today's affairs. But if you can't come up with one hundred taels, you have to force me to come up with it."
If you want two hundred taels of silver, then I have nothing to say. I would rather sell the house and land in the village, move my family to the town, and never set foot in Changshui Village again.
A lot of money.”
When Zhao Huanyu spoke, she was neither humble nor arrogant, and she was not afraid of them at all. Her voice was still loud, as if she was afraid they wouldn't be able to hear her.
"You, you, you...ask us to give each family a hundred taels of silver. Wouldn't this cost our lives? Three generations of our family can't earn enough for this one hundred taels of silver!"
"Yes! You little girl, why are you talking so lightly? For one hundred taels of silver, you might as well take our lives!"
"We are all honest and responsible farmers, how can we compare with you..."
Each of these old men spoke more exaggeratedly than the last, as if Zhao Huanyu was forcing them to hand over their lives.
Zhao Huanyu sneered and asked: "Why, when you forced me to give out two hundred taels of silver, weren't you also trying to kill me? You said you are a special household, don't we? I just rely on my own ability.
I started a small business and saved some money some time ago, but because my brother was buried underground, I gave all the money to everyone just to keep my brother safe. In the end, you thought I was really
You are rich, and you ask for two hundred taels of silver. You are treating me as a scapegoat, right?"
A few old men were so embarrassed that they couldn't hold their heads up. They really wanted to take advantage of the Zhao family. They thought that the Zhao family was rich and would not care about spending so much extra money. Who knew that Zhao Huanyu would be kicked on the iron plate?
Not that easy to bully.
"Don't speak so harshly. We are here tonight to ask what your family wants. If you don't want to, forget it. From now on, you will still be a member of the village. Don't be so outspoken."
The old man who spoke first stood up and pretended to be nice again. Zhao Huanyu looked at everyone with a smile, wanting to see how they would end up tonight.
Several old men were unwilling to speak anymore, and finally the village chief stood up and apologized to her.
"Xiaoyu, we did something wrong in this matter. I will discuss the road construction in the village with everyone. I will never let any family spend more or less. I will not bother you tonight.
I'm so sorry that you guys need to take a rest, so we'll go back now if it's okay."
The village chief felt guilty and his tone was flattering.
It is undeniable that his family has benefited a lot from Zhao Huanyu during this period. If his family has been protecting the Zhao family, the benefits will definitely be indispensable in the future. However, if Zhao Huanyu is made anxious and everyone falls out, that is not the case.
Very easy to talk to.
Zhao Huanyu didn't even want to say polite words to them, and watched them leave coldly.
Zhao Dafu said: "These people are too bullying. Sure enough, we should not show off our wealth too much, otherwise my family will never have a good life."
Zhao Huanyu nodded, thinking her father was right.
When Little Tiedou was buried in the snow, she was in a hurry and thought that as long as she could rescue Little Tiedou, she would do anything, but she didn't think so much at all.
She didn't expect the impact of this incident to be so serious, and her heart felt cold now.
Not everyone is kind, and people's hearts are not easily satisfied. No matter how nice she is to them, or how sincerely she wants to bring them to make a fortune together, not only will they not be grateful, but they will take it for granted.
She didn't want to worry about such villagers.
Like this, Zhao Huanyu originally decided to go to the village chief after spring and ask if there was anyone willing to grow medicinal materials together. Medicinal materials were in short supply in this era, and if they could grow them well, they would definitely be able to make money.
Doing this does not show how kind she is, it just feels that since she has been reborn and brought such a powerful space system with her, she should bring prosperity to the people around her.
But what these people did tonight chilled her heart and instantly extinguished the hot thoughts in her heart.
It's not worth it. These people really don't deserve it.
"Dad, Grandma, you all should go back and rest. There are important things to deal with at the shop tomorrow."
After Zhao Huanyu finished speaking, he left first in a low mood. Zhao Dafu and Mr. Gao looked at each other, feeling very sorry for Zhao Huanyu.
Although she is still so young, she carries such a heavy burden. It is not easy for her to be able to do so well.
Mrs. Gao didn't know what important matters she had to go to the shop to deal with tomorrow. She just thought it was business as usual, so she didn't say anything more. She comforted her son a few words and went back to her room to rest.
Not long after Zhao Huanyu returned to her room, a man jumped out of the window. Zhao Huanyu ignored him and just sat on the bed in a daze.
She was really hurt tonight. Except for a few particularly annoying people in this village, there were also such a group of scoundrels who were usually not eye-catching. They were always thinking about her money.
She does have a lot of money, not to mention just building the small road from the village to the town, but also building the road from the town to the county seat, but why? Why does her money seem to be blown away by the strong wind?
Why should she spend more money?
Ji Mingxuan sat down next to her and didn't speak. He just took her hand and wrapped his warm palm around her cold little hand, which made her cold heart feel a little warmer.
