"You have worked hard during this time, Xiaoqi, this kid's life is hard, I still have some things, so I'll leave first." The village chief now thought of asking for money, and the sooner this kind of thing happened, the better, so as not to cause trouble later.

Aunt Caifeng only responded, and she planned to stay for a while and go back.

After the village chief walked out of Qu Xiaoqi's house, he went to the nearest woman's house, although it was the closest, which also made the village chief walk half of the village.

After all, the place where Qu Xiaoqi lives is too remote, so if something happens after that, others will not know.

is the previous residence, and because of an accident, Juanzi embroidered the mother and lost the child.

I don't know what Qu Xiaoqi thinks, although he is willing to live peacefully with the villagers now, but this residence is too remote, that is, people who are good friends want to come over to chat, and they have to walk a long way.

Isn't Lin Caifeng, who is at the entrance of the village, just going to a village to get to Qu Xiaoqi's house?

And this location is so close to the mountain, they don't dare to approach it at all.

In addition, the fact that Qu Xiaoqi was rescued from the mountain didn't know how it spread out, as if it was the day he came back, someone happened to go to the foot of the mountain to inspect the materials and was seen.

After being rescued, he began to fall unconscious, and the specific reason is not clear, which made the people in the village start to say that some of them are gone.

It must be like something, Qu Xiaoqi was possessed by the monsters in the mountains, or inhaled J qi.

Or maybe he angered the mountain god, was convicted, and so on.

To the relief of the village, this time the villagers did not do anything very short with great fanfare.

On the contrary, he said that Qu Xiaoqi was blessed to be able to live, and he did not die when the catastrophe came, saying that he wanted to do a magic thing.

This guidance also helped a lot to Aunt Caifeng and the old doctor, as well as the official master, and as the village head, he naturally made a lot of efforts.

The gaffe has finally developed for the better, and the days after Linxi Village will naturally be prosperous.

When I got to the woman's house, it was the same woman who opened the door, but her expression was not very good.

The men, the old women and the old man inside were not very good-looking, and they looked angry.

When he saw the village chief, his face changed suddenly, and the man immediately walked out of the house and said, "Village chief, you are here, come, enter the house." ”

The village chief nodded, as if he hadn't seen what had happened before.

The man glared at his daughter-in-law and said, "Go get some brown sugar eggs, what are you doing here?" I can't do this thing, what are I going to do when I get married? ”

The man has a good face, and the village chief didn't stop it at all, but said to a young man who looked like he was a teenager in the house: "Yo, the baby has grown taller again, and there is a future." ”

The man scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said, "What can he do, that is, he usually helps me with the work, you come in and sit, come in and sit." ”

After all, this was the first time the village chief had come to their house, which made the man a little restrained, and he didn't know what to say at all.

Fortunately, the old woman is a good talker, and she is also an elder compared to the village chief, and she talks this and that with the village chief.

Naturally, the village chief would not get along with a woman's family, and his eyes were directly on the real head of the family.

Now the head of the family is not this man who entertains himself, but an old man who is holding a posture.

Although I am a little unhappy in my heart, but on the surface, I have to get by, and these people can't help but take themselves too seriously, right?

Or is it that he is not taken into account as the village chief at all?

No wonder let the daughter-in-law go to Qu Xiaoqi's house to make trouble, it is estimated that it was also instigated by these greedy people.

Immediately, his face became serious, as if something had happened.

This sudden change in attitude made the old man a little nervous, but fortunately, he had not worked in vain for so many years, and he was calm and did not ask.

At this time, the old woman also spoke: "Brother, what is the matter with you coming?" But what happened? ”

At the same time, the family's heart also raised, this is not good.

If you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall if you have nothing to do, there must be something going on with this village chief.

The village chief coughed softly and said, "There is something I need to tell you, I didn't come here to discuss. Qu Zhongshan, the son of Qu An's family, needs money to go to the capital to study. You were very close to them before, and when you were in trouble, Deng Chunzhi and her father also helped you a lot. Now it's their second elder's grandson's turn to be in trouble, so I'm just here to inform you. You people, these are the ones who are gathered together today, and each of you will give a tael of silver. No one will be missed, naturally, I won't ask for more, and I won't ask for less. ”

After saying this, the village chief felt much more comfortable in his heart, and looked at the ugly faces of these people, and his heart was very disdainful.

"Village chief, you can't say that. We can Deng Chunzhi and her father and mother are also cousins, even if the two of them were kind to us before, we should repay them. What does the matter of their grandson have anything to do with us? Besides, Qu Zhongshan was admitted to Xiucai by himself by improper means, and when this word spreads, our village will be ashamed. The old woman spoke at once.

"Let's talk, when will it be your turn to speak?" The village chief is not a character to be messed with, he glanced at the old woman coldly, and then his eyes were on the old man.

The eyes of the head of the family were full of anger, and he said in a deep voice, "Brother, you are not authentic in this matter." ”

"Authentic? It's nothing, you don't want to come out. Then I'll ask the folks to help you make up for it. ”

Speaking of this, the old woman's face had changed from shame to surprise, "Oh, village chief, you said this earlier." If you can scare us, then I'll leave it to you. ”

"It's okay, don't bother, you pay the taxes when the time comes, and you can help the people in the village bear some of it." It's only a penny per acre of land, not much, so I'll ask the people in the village to help you pay for it." The village chief suddenly laughed.

The head of the family was so angry that his face turned pale, there is so much land in this village, and one acre of silver is questioned? Then they won't be able to pay taxes for their harvest this year!

That's the threat of nakedness!

"Brother, it's not good for you to be the village chief like this, when the time comes to the election, I have a lot of say."

"Yes, you're old, and you do have a lot of say. But you're also dizzy, who is the village head, isn't that what the official said? Who does the official listen to now? It's not me who you're rushing to offend, it's the official. Not to mention paying more taxes, it is easy for your family to eat some prison food. Okay, I won't say much about the rest, you can do it yourself. The village chief got up and was about to leave, pretending to be very dashing, when the woman reluctantly brought in an egg in sugar water.

The egg is still not peeled, and you can clearly see the chicken poop on it!

The village chief was immediately laughed at and said, "It seems that you don't welcome me either, just because I haven't come!" ”

The man immediately stepped forward and grabbed the village chief, and the old woman's eyes were sharp, and he stepped forward to give the woman a slap.

This hospitality can't be treated like this, isn't it hurtful?

This slap is not light, and the old woman is also a person who has been doing farm work all year round when she was young, and she has a lot of strength.

The woman was directly beaten to the ground, the bowl fell to the ground and fell to pieces, looked at the old woman with an unknown face, and asked, "Mother, what are you doing here?" ”

"Son, my mother was blind at that time, and she fell in love with such a daughter-in-law, you should go to someone to write a letter of resignation now, this daughter-in-law, don't do it!" The old woman said coldly.

The man immediately responded, and the village chief immediately grabbed the man and said, "Family and everything is prosperous, don't hurt the harmony of the family because of this little thing." ”

The man looked at his father and mother with some embarrassment, as if he didn't have any idea, in fact, he wanted to divorce someone and marry a woman who had never given birth to a child.

This woman is already old, and she is not yet forty, and she is about to be the age of a flower, and she doesn't want to live with this woman who has always been unpleasant to her father.

If she hadn't thought she would coax her into coming over the money, she would have been divorced a long time ago!

"Quick, didn't the village chief say before that he wanted to give Qu Zhongshan's doll the money to read? We have it at home, go get our boxes! The head of the family spoke, and the old woman went at once to fetch the chest of silver.

She was also afraid that the village chief would have to pay a long tax, but the village chief was quite fair, and he would give as much silver as he should for his land.

If he holds a grudge against himself, he will let his own family take more, and then go to fill other people's homes, and they will have no way at all.

Unless they don't want the land anymore and move out of here, it will definitely not be a foolproof solution to offend the village chief.

The old man in the village did have some say in the election of the village chief later, but he didn't have much right to speak, and if he wanted to completely threaten the village chief, he was talking about a fool's dream.

The head of the family took out some broken silver from the box, and then handed it to the village chief with a smile.

The village chief now smiled kindly and took the silver.

If you weigh it carefully, there are one or two halves.

This extra half tael, what it means, naturally understands.

This made the village chief's smile even brighter, if he had taken out a tael of silver at the beginning, he would not have such a big extra money to earn.

This is still a windfall, originally he didn't think about it so much, he just felt that he should solve Qu Zhongshan's matter.

Sure enough, people should be diligent, for the early birds had worms.

Before leaving, the village chief did not forget to instruct, "Don't talk nonsense about Zhongshan's affairs, and the reputation of the village will not do you any good." You also have a boy, and you will marry a daughter-in-law later. ”
