Chapter 154: Don't even want a face
He grimaced: "No matter whether I eat well or badly in the Li family, it is my daughter's filial piety to me, as for whether Wang Chun eats well or not, that is what my younger brothers and sisters should worry about, they are all mothers, and it is impossible to expect the old man to take care of his grandson!" β
Jiang's face did not change: "You are the second uncle of the child, you talk like this, since you took care of Wang Tiedan's schooling, how can you ignore a few nieces and nephews!" β
She said it reasonably, but Wang Daoren laughed angrily: "Who said that if I take care of Wang Tiedan, I have to take care of a few nieces?" Hey, I don't understand, is this baby born to me or you? Do you call me dad or third brother? β
If you want to say that Wang Daoren still has a little affection for the Wang family and Wang Qiushan, he has no feelings for the Jiang family.
Before he could settle accounts with her about Jiang's framing of Wang Xiao, she couldn't wait to make a face and lose it.
He said this loudly, and the surrounding villagers heard it, and they all looked at her with strange eyes.
It is normal for a family to help each other, but it is also when people are voluntary, where is there a second uncle who has to take care of his nephews and nieces.
Jiang ignored it, so he had to pout and shrink behind Wang.
Others surrounded him, and they were all asking Wang Daoren about the strange things he had done in the army over the years.
Having seen the customs and folklore of so many places and fought so many large and small battles, Wang Daoren naturally gushed endlessly about things on the battlefield.
The villagers asked this and that, and it was very lively.
Hearing that his leg was almost broken in order to save General Sima, everyone sighed for a while, and many women with shallow tears simply wiped their tears.
Wang naturally heard this, remembering that when the second child first came back a few days ago, she only cared about how much General Sima had rewarded, and she was stunned for a while, no wonder the second child was angry.
However, Jiang pouted, still calculating that it was so thrilling at that time, General Sima must have rewarded a lot of good things, and it was too bad to drive Wang Xiao out because he didn't have a good relationship with his second uncle at the beginning.
A large group of people were talking about Xingtou, and the village chief came.
first let everyone be quiet, and then talked about raising funds to repair the ancestral hall.
It's all a clichΓ©, but it's just to make up for the ancestral hall that is already dilapidated enough, mainly because the families are poor, and they can't make up much money at all.
After finishing speaking, the village chief concluded: "It's still the same as last year, everyone will register the number with me first, and hand over the money later, and I will start to contact people to repair it, what do you think?" β
There weren't many families in the village, and the money was calculated on a per capita basis, not women and children.
Most people have 30 cents on everyone's head, which is already a convention, and there is nothing to say.
When he arrived at Wang Daoren's place, he thought that he hadn't been at home for so many years, and he hadn't done anything for the village, so he posted fifty papers.
It's impossible to make up what you owe before, but it's okay to pay a little more.
Seeing that he had made so many friends, the surrounding villagers laughed: "It seems that Brother Wang has been in the army for all these years, and he is still a bit of a trick!" β
"Is there a lot of military salary in the imperial court, how is it distributed by Shangguan?"
"The ancestral hall belongs to everyone, donate more and donate less, like Brother Wang is so sincere, I know that within my ability, there are not many people who benefit the township more!"
"It's a good example, no wonder I can teach a good girl like Xiaoxiao."
β¦β¦
Wang's face was gloomy, if Wang Daoren was still in the Wang family, when she was in the limelight today, she would also have a share.
Thinking of this, Wang couldn't help but think of Wang Xiao.
Although she is a girl, she has made so much money, it is not like donating some money to repair the ancestral hall!
She pushed the Jiang family and muttered: "Wang Xiao, that girl has made so much money, and she doesn't know how to contribute a little to repair the ancestral hall, the Wang family really raised her for nothing." β
Jiang's eyes rolled, and he said loudly: "The second uncle is a soldier, where can he have so much spare money, I'm afraid it was given by Wang Xiao, but seriously, Wang Xiao made so much money, and it was too little to only take out fifty yuan." β
Wang Fugui also followed to help: "No matter how bad the Wang family is, she has raised her for so many years, and now she is capable, and she should contribute something to the Wang family, besides, it's not that those of us who are alive have benefited, this is not for the ancestors!" β
Other branches of the Wang family also gossiped and said: "The third elder of the Wang family is right, she is thicker than our waist when she plucks the hair on her body casually, as a descendant of the Wang family, she should also respect this filial piety." β
"I used to see the green dress worn by the smiling girl, and I got a lot of silver, the best silk in town."
"Why didn't you see a smile today, she is a good girl, how can such a thing be without her?"
"This kid is kind-hearted, and he is definitely willing to contribute to the Wang family, or ten taels of silver, I heard that the bottle of beauty cream is selling very expensive, and it will cost dozens of taels of silver."
"To be able to raise such a good girl, brother, you will be blessed for the rest of your life, and I don't know who can have such a good blessing to marry Xiaoxiao."
"I have to remind you, Brother Wang, the smiling girl has a beauty cream prescription in her hand, and she has silver to earn in Fushenglou, so she has to open her eyes wide, maybe some people are greedy for her silver!"
β¦β¦
Hearing that everyone was almost right, Wang Daoren sneered in his heart, but said with a quiet smile on his face: "Everyone is right, and it makes sense!" β
Gu Xiaowei, the village chief's family, held the pen and looked at everyone in a daze, it is impossible to write Wang Xiao's name as well, the woman's name has never appeared on this list.
The person next to him pushed him: "What are you kid doing, hurry up and write down your name?" With this amount of money, this year's ancestral hall should be repaired more stable, and it will not leak in the middle of the year, wetting the ancestors' tablets. β
"Your Wang family is fine, our Gu family doesn't have such a good junior."
Gu Xiaowei looked at Uncle Wang's darkening face, knowing that this matter was not so simple, and sure enough, Wang Daoren said coldly: "When I was away, Xiaoxiao was kicked out of the Wang family, I won't mention it, there is no filial son in front of the bed for a long time, I have been away from home for so many years, and everyone has worked hard to take care of her, but everyone is poor, I can understand." β
"However, the rule in Lan Village has always been that women and children don't have to be counted, and you don't even want a face for such a little silver!"
The last sentence, he almost roared, he has been fighting all year round, and his roar is deafening.
The faces of the people who helped before immediately froze, and they didn't dare to speak.
Only the Jiang family stiffened his neck and said: "This person, the richer he is, the more he picks the door, what are you doing with so much silver, isn't it good to benefit the township, this rule is dead, people are alive!" β
