Chapter 325: Regaining Prestige
Yun Shi was thinking, this time the matter of releasing grain was brought up by the second child, this old house is restarted, and the second child must not help?
Now the relationship is a little more relaxed than before, it is a good time for them to help, this is the old house of the Gu family, although the second family is not living, but they can't ignore the old house, the old man is still there.
Gu Pingyong waved his hand, "Don't mention this matter first, I have my own plans, I can't go to the second child, I have to sum it up." ”
Yun Shi was stunned, and he didn't know what he was thinking, "Old man, I said don't be confused, we don't have a house to live in now, what's the benefit of offending the second child?" ”
"They have a lot of families, if their family comes over to help, how many more people can we miss? Think about it, now that everyone is looking for help, we can't fall behind, such a close relationship, if you don't go to others to worry about it. ”
Gu Pingyong glanced at her, "In the woman's opinion, I naturally want to worry about it, you don't care, and then you will know." ”
He had been thinking about this before, the imperial court would definitely send disaster silver down, since the second child had already taken those dozens of families to repair the house, then there was no need to send this disaster silver to them again.
There are so many people living in straw huts, is it difficult for them to continue to sleep in the open? It stands to reason that they should be given these people.
So he had been thinking about finding a suitable reason to take all the money and distribute it only to the people on his side.
Now that he has a disrepute in the village, no one wants to look at him, if he does this, won't the dozens of families he brought with him thank him?
In this earthquake, every household lost a lot of things, and even if they could still grab some of them, most of them were already broken.
That is, some wood and stone can be reused, furniture, pots and pans have to be re-played, which is not costly? It's when you're short of money.
If the silver taels of those dozens of families were divided among these people, each family would be able to take a lot of money.
He has been thinking about this matter recently, and it must not be easy to do, but if he does it, won't he regain his prestige in Tongxin Village?
Yun and he have been husband and wife for many years, and when she saw him like this, she knew that he must be thinking about something, she was afraid that Gu Pingyong would be confused, so she asked vigorously on the side.
"Old man, if you want to return to me as a family, just tell me about it, I see what you think, don't blame me for not believing you, it's because you've done too many foolish things in the past two years."
Gu Pingyong wanted to scold, but the Yun family glared at him, because of the matter of collecting food, the Yun family invited his mother's family to help, and now his status in front of Gu Pingyong has also improved, Gu Pingyong felt ashamed of her at the time, and now it is not good to be angry with her.
Yun Shi didn't give up, he could only say his thoughts, Yun Shi glared and said, "Old man, are you crazy?" ”
"How can this matter be so simple, it's white silver, no one is stupid, how can we divide the silver, you think it's really good, I don't know how to end up in the village when the time comes."
Gu Pingyong glanced at her, "I'll just say that you are a woman's opinion, there are more people on our side, think about it yourself, the second child has already lived in a new house, and no one else is envious, how long has it been, we still live in a grass shed." ”
"As long as you make good use of it, this envy can turn into resentment, and who doesn't want the silver that is put there? Even if there is a conflict between the two sides, it is our side that there are many people, and it is our side that wins, if I let everyone take more money, then they will not listen to me? ”
The Yun family originally loved money, and when she heard that she could get more silver, of course she was happy, but she also knew that this matter was not easy to do, if she didn't succeed in stealing chickens and rice, she wouldn't know who to reason with at that time.
"Old man, you can think about it, I don't think this thing is easy to do anyway, even if these people listen to us, but what about other families, don't the dozens of families over there hate us in the future? It's all from the same village, so how can we gain a foothold in the village? ”
Gu Pingyong said very confidently, "I have already thought about this, if I get the support of these people, then I can take the position of the head of the Gu clan, and I will be the one who is the master of Tongxin Village in the future, even if others are not convinced by me, what can they do, they still don't want to listen to me?" ”
"Don't worry, I think about this very clearly, how can I live a good life without taking risks? It's an honest person who lives steadily, and now I have to let everyone listen to me, and I have to make some results. ”
The Yun family was originally quite sober-minded, and he began to play the drum as soon as he said it, mainly because there is a lot of silver, what about dozens of households, and the imperial court can still give one or two dollars for disaster relief? No matter what the family says, it is also a few taels of silver, which adds up to hundreds of taels.
When the time comes, it will naturally be the Gu family who will be in charge, and this silver will be in their hands, so can they get more?
In the past two years, it has cost a lot of money to hire people to work, and she is already distressed in her heart, if she takes this opportunity to get back some blood, of course, it is good, thinking about it, she is also excited, this opportunity can not be grasped.
"Cheng, I think I can do this, so I'll listen to you, but there will definitely be trouble, and the old man won't agree, you have to think about how to deal with it later." Yun was excited and worried, and felt a little conflicted.
Gu Pingyong nodded, "Don't worry, since I dare to do it, I will definitely think of a good way, as long as there are many people on our side, I am not afraid of the second child, we can't beat him?" ”
Yun Shi said again, "Our family's grain is still with the second child, and it is estimated that there has been no rain recently, so hurry up and dry the grain and bring it back, what should we do if he withholds the food and doesn't give it to us at that time?" ”
Gu Pingyong nodded, "You can't be too anxious about this, otherwise the second child will be suspicious." ”
Gu Pingyong used to have a weird temper and be a little stingy, but he still knew some big truths, but now there are several things going on in the village, and he has lost face and doesn't care about it.
It was not surprising that he could have this kind of thought this time, he was anxious to save his face and re-establish his prestige in Tongxin Village, so he didn't care so much.
He has always thought that Gu Pingzhang is not his opponent, and he has never thought about what the consequences will be if this thing fails.
The main reason is that Tongxin Village is quite far away from the county government, so he doesn't believe that Gu Pingzhang can make trouble with him to the county government because of this matter.
