Chapter 248: Fifty-two Turmoil
After listening to what the village chief said, Bai Yu and Yang Yanxi nodded in agreement, after all, this is a matter of face in the village, everyone usually goes to the new temple, and every family should contribute.
"It's great that you can think like that, if everyone thinks the same way as you, then my job will be much easier." The village chief looked at Bai Yu happily and felt that his idea was about to succeed.
"I don't know, how much do we need to take?" Yang Yanxi asked, hoping to quickly get the money to the village chief, and then continue to be sweet with the lady, not to let such a good atmosphere be ruined by the village chief.
But when Bai Yu and Yang Yanxi heard fifty taels from the village chief's mouth, the smiles on Bai Yu and Yang Yanxi's faces instantly froze, they didn't expect that they would need so much.
"Isn't it a bit too much for the village chief to have fifty taels per family, and some people may not be able to come up with so much, so there is no need to be so extravagant and wasteful to build a new Buddha statue." Bai Yu had already lowered his tone as much as possible, and said in as tactful an attitude as possible.
But the village chief smiled, and his two hands were rubbing back and forth, "Not every family needs so much, or it depends on the actual situation. ”
This sentence made Bai Yu's originally approved heart cool down suddenly, and the village chief said that the point in his mouth was fifty taels, isn't this bullying Bai Yu and Yang Yanxi to be the big boss, and the anger in Bai Yu's heart suddenly rose.
"These fifty taels, we don't have them, why don't every family need to take so much, but when it comes to my house, it's like this, there's no problem for me to take two or three taels more, these fifty taels are simply too deceitful." Bai Yu stood up and confronted the village chief.
Looking at Bai Yu's appearance, the village chief knew that he still had to point at Bai Yu to take money, although Bai Yu's tone was a little bad, the village chief still showed a serious look, "Usually your business in the medicinal restaurant is very prosperous, this fifty taels is not a small amount of money for you, what else is there to care about." ”
It's really not a backache to sit, for Bai Yu, fifty taels is just here, maybe the people outside have seen the scenery in the medicinal restaurant, and only Bai Yu and Yang Yanxi know the bitterness.
"Since you have to insist, then I want to ask you how much you have donated yourself, whether it is fifty taels or one hundred taels and now ask me like this." Bai Yu looked at the appearance of the village chief, and he was not afraid of provoking the other party, so he directly said what he wanted to ask in his heart.
At this time, the village chief was speechless when he was directly asked, and he was speechless for a long time, and the village chief was red even when he practiced.
"Anyway, you just won't take the fifty taels today." The village chief also got up and asked Bai Yu one last time.
And Bai Yu's momentum is not lost at all, "I still say the same thing, it's okay to take a few more taels, and there is absolutely no fifty taels." For a moment, the atmosphere in the room was tense.
And Yang Yanxi naturally didn't watch her mother being bullied, "Otherwise, the village chief, you should go to another house first, and come back when you figure it out, but I have the same idea as my mother." After speaking, Yang Yanxi opened the door, just to drive away guests.
Where has the village chief, who has always been highly respected, been treated like this, so he left angrily with his hands behind his back.
Seeing the village chief leaving, Yang Yanxi pulled the lady into his arms, "Lady, don't be angry, this group is voluntarily taken by us, if we don't agree, they can't take it away." Yang Yanxi put his face on Bai Yu's forehead and patiently comforted Bai Yu.
"Today, the village chief is really deceiving people too much." Bai Yu pounded Yang Yanxi's chest with his hand.
In this way, the village chief made such a fuss, Bai Yu didn't sleep well all night, still thinking about the annoying thing last night, when Bai Yu wanted to get up and go to the medicinal restaurant, he was pulled back by Yang Yanxi.
"Lady, I saw that you tossed and turned all night, and you definitely didn't have a good rest, so you don't go to the medicinal restaurant today, I can do it myself." Yang Yanxi pressed Bai Yu hard, even if Bai Yu repeated that he had nothing to do many times, Yang Yanxi still had a tough attitude.
In the end, there was no way, Bai Yu could only listen to her husband, "Then you should pay more attention when you bring medicinal food to others, don't be sloppy, if you don't understand anything, come back to me." Bai Yu told him everything he could think of.
Yang Yanxi's nagging ears were about to become calloused, so he hurriedly took his hand and covered Bai Yu's hand, "You can rest assured, it's not the first time, aren't you still at ease with your husband?" ”
But before Yang Yanxi walked out of the door, he heard an urgent knock on the door, and the force was still very strong, Bai Yu was strange, so early, I don't know who it is.
As a result, Yang Yanxi just opened the door a small crack, and the hands of several big men couldn't wait to push the door open, and several big men swaggered in, and the village chief behind him showed his face.
These big men are all villagers in the village, but they have nothing to do with Baiyu Yang Yanxi, so they were quite unreasonable when they came in, probably relying on the village chief behind them.
"What do you mean, village chief, do you want to bring people to make trouble?" Bai Yu's temper came up, and he stepped forward to theorize directly, not afraid of a few people on the other side.
But the village chief still said the same thing, as if he was kidnapped by morality, "How much money you make in the pharmacy are seen by the neighbors, and the neighbors usually buy less, so when you donate money in the village, you don't dare to come forward." The village chief directly stood on the moral high ground and began to condemn Bai Yu.
And Bai Yu was tired of the village chief's words, as if he couldn't hear anything.
On the other side, Zhang Erniu heard that Bai Yu's family was born, so he hurried to Bai Yu's house.
Seeing that Bai Yu was surrounded by several people, Zhang Erniu couldn't help but wonder a lot, so he rushed forward directly, "What do you want to do, let people go quickly." But the strength was weak, and Zhang Erniu was pushed down by several big men with one punch before he could use his strength.
Xiao Cui, who had just arrived, also began to reason with the other party, "What is the difference between you doing this and robbing money, if you do this again, I will sue you to the yamen." ”
But Xiaocui is an outsider, where will anyone look at her, ignore her completely, and later think Xiaocui is annoying, and even want to drive Xiaocui away as an outsider.
Now Xiaocui was scared, and Bai Yu hurriedly pulled Xiaocui behind her.
Old Man Bai, who had been inside the house, heard the movement outside and decided to come out to talk to the village chief in person, after all, they were also old acquaintances, "Village chief, what are you doing, aren't you slapping me in the face?" ”
"Old man Bai, this is not a big deal, isn't it just to let Bai Yu take fifty taels of silver, you must know that fifty taels is not much for them, for the sake of the village, you tell them to take it out quickly, so that everyone can be safe, and the big guys will remember the good things Bai Yu has done for the village." The village chief began to reason with Old Man Bai.
