When Gu Pingyong arrived in the town, he quickly found a place, where many people were already waiting for him, and they all wanted to receive silver.

Today he brought two children from the Gu family over, both of whom were young, one was Gu Chao, who used to run errands for him before, and the other he could trust, calling him an uncle, named Gu Zeliang.

Gu Pingyong looked at the people lined up in front of him and wiped his sweat, "Fortunately, we didn't delay our work, and we came directly, if we wait until the afternoon, how many people will it take?" Sure enough, this matter of taking the silver can't be delayed, and everyone wants to take it in their hands as soon as possible. ”

Gu Chao smiled and said, "Uncle, you are still thoughtful, let's wait here now, there are people coming again, you can't go away, you are hungry, I'll buy a few buns and come back, just stand here and eat." ”

Gu Pingyong was really hungry, and it was time to eat dinner at this time, they walked directly from home, and they didn't have time to eat anything.

At noon, who is hungry, he nodded, "You go, we will wait for you here, don't run far." ”

Gu Chao quickly bought a few steamed buns and came back, and several people looked ahead while eating steamed buns, wondering how the disaster money was distributed and how much money the family had.

Looking at the people in front of them receiving the money, their faces were full of smiles, and they knew that this silver must be indispensable, this time it was good, they were worried that the food and salary for disaster relief were withheld by the yamen, and now it seems that the county master is a good official, and this time he will not worry about repairing the house.

To verify the list next to each other, the silver was not taken out casually, so although there were not many people waiting in front of them, it still took a long time for their turn.

After the number of people was calculated, all the silver was given to them, and it was packed in a big bag, all of which were scattered silver, for fear that they would not be able to divide it in the countryside, so it was quite a big bag.

The bag of silver was heavy in his hand, Gu Pingyong was not a person who loved money, compared with the Yun family, he looked at these very lightly, anyway, the family was living a good life, and he was already the first in the village, but at this time, he took the money, and his heartbeat accelerated, which is really a lot.

Several of them squeezed out of the crowd, sat down on the big rock under the big tree, opened the bag and looked at the silver inside.

Although I just looked at the people, I still want to touch it at this time, so much money, I can't see it in this life.

Especially Gu Chao and the two young ones, who doesn't want to take all this silver home, how good would it be if it were their own?

Gu Zeliang said, "Uncle, the money has been obtained, let's go back quickly, there are a lot of people around here, it would not be good if you target us." ”

Hearing this, Gu Pingyong was also quite nervous, nodded, tied the bag, hid it to his side, but didn't stand up, looked at the two of them and whispered, "You two come here, I have something to explain to you." ”

Gu Chao and Gu Zeliang glanced at each other, these two people are also very good, and now they have only gotten the silver, Gu Pingyong told them this, it must be related to the silver.

It wouldn't be a bad thing anyway, and they listened to what he had to say, so they leaned over to him.

Gu Chao smiled and said, "Uncle, aren't we going back now?" ”

Gu Pingyong nodded, "Of course I have to go back, I'll leave in a while, but there are some things I will explain to you here, and you will know how to tell you when you go back to the village in a while." ”

The two of them nodded, and waited for his next words, if they guessed correctly, Gu Pingyong must have wanted to keep some silver for himself, this is the benefit of his own take, the two of them followed, of course, there must be a hush money.

"Let me ask you, what did the official master say just now? How do you divide this money? ”

Gu Zeliang said, "According to the head, two taels of silver per person." ”

Gu Pingyong asked him again, "Is this really the case?" ”

Gu Chao listened on the side, thought about it carefully, and seemed to say that, and then nodded, "Uncle, you didn't understand it just now, it's true, it's two taels of silver for a person." ”

Gu Pingyong directly knocked on the heads of the two of them, "Stupid, if you have two taels of silver per person, then you have to divide it among each family, how many people are there in your two families?" ”

Gu Zeliang calculated, "There are a total of seven people in my family. ”

Gu Chao said on the side, "My family of six." ”

Gu Pingyong sneered, "This account is clear, one is six, one is seven, this is only fourteen taels of silver, how many people are there in the Lin family?" ”

There are many people surnamed Lin in Tongxin Village, but this Lin family refers to Lin Dezheng's family, and of course the two of them know.

Gu Chao hurriedly counted his fingers, this calculation was terrible, he was stunned, "My obedient, I only know that there are many Lin family members on weekdays, so I know that there are eighteen people in their family, and this time I will score more than thirty taels of silver." ”

Gu Zeliang was also shocked, his family only got fourteen taels, and the Lin family had to get more than thirty taels, how could this account be unbalanced, and he was really aggrieved and panicked.

"Why do they take so much silver?"

Gu Pingyong raised his eyebrows, "Why, just because there are many people in the family, you tell me, their houses have been repaired, and they still have so many points to take back this silver, who is thinking about this matter?" ”

The two of them nodded, and Gu Pingyong continued, "There are still a lot of people like this in the village, so many people have already lived in new houses, we still live in grass sheds, and when we take the money back, they will take cash, and they don't need to repair the house for the family, how can there be such a good thing?" ”

Gu Zeliang said, "Yes, Gu Liu's family also has a lot of people, and they also have to take more than thirty taels, and their house has been repaired, this time the silver is their own, why?" ”

The emotions of the two of them were quickly stirred up by Gu Pingyong, thinking that they had to work hard to repair the house after taking the money, and the silver was not enough, and in the end, the little money they saved had had to be spent.

It's just that others take it back as their own, how can there be such a good thing?

These people have completely forgotten that in the past, others repaired houses day and night, and their group of people was idle and had nothing to do, and now they see that people don't need to repair houses with money, so they are naturally envious, but isn't this what people deserve?

In front of the white flowers, people are always easy to lose their minds, Gu Zeliang and Gu Chao immediately decided, this thing can't be done, otherwise they will have to suffocate to death in their hearts.

Gu Chao asked in a low voice, "Uncle, you must have thought of a way to say this, just say what to do." ”
