Chapter 37: The Lion Opens His Mouth
Qing Bao's eyes widened and he looked out of the window curiously, Shen Yizhi looked out, and didn't find anyone, but on the windowsill, he "saw" a wooden box.
She slowly opened the wooden box, ready to enter the space at any moment.
However, the moment the box opened, she was stunned.
In the box, there were actually full of gold beads, and a piece of golden light was shining and dazzling.
Each gold bead is one or two weights, and this box, I'm afraid there are no hundreds.
It is equivalent to a few thousand taels of silver.
There is no logo on the gold bead, as if it is deliberate, for fear of revealing any clues.
Shen Yizhi almost didn't have to think about it to guess who the person who sent the gold was.
Aren't you going to go? Didn't you say goodbye without saying goodbye? Didn't you want to draw a line with her? What does it mean to send these gold beads now?
Do you spend the last money to buy out everything you have done before?
Gu Xueting, hello, it's really good!
Shen Yizhi suddenly closed the box, threw it into the space, and said to Yichang: "Find a place to bury it!" β
Out of sight is out of sight.

"I'm calling the big guy over today, I have something to discuss with you."
In the ancestral hall of the village, the village chief stood behind a table and said to the representatives of the families sitting or standing in the courtyard.
There are a total of 87 families in the village, and the general meeting is attended by the housekeeper.
Shen Yizhi sat on a bench under the porch with Qingbao in his arms, next to Aunt Zhao and Aunt Zhang, the two of them were not on the agenda at all, and they teased Qingbao in her arms vigorously.
There was also a circle of women around the side.
are all boasting about Qingbao.
"This kid looks so good."
"Not really! Fat and chubby, how gratifying! β
"Hey, you see, he's still smiling at me, he's really a bad person."
In the face of everyone's enthusiasm, Qing Bao'an Ruosu, from time to time to give a smiley face made these women scream excitedly.
Shen Yi knew that this was a mother, but he couldn't resist it.
Fortunately, the village chief quickly got to the point, and everyone's attention was distracted a little.
ββ¦β¦ Zhiniang wants to buy the few acres of land around the house where she lives now, and this matter concerns everyone in the village, so I summoned the big guys here and wanted to ask your opinions, what is the right price for this land. β
Aunt Zhang was the first to express her opinion: "That is a few acres of wasteland, grain can't be grown, and vegetables can't be planted well, how much can it be worth?" If you want me to say, I gave it to my mother for nothing. After all, the contribution she has made to the people in the village in the past few years is in everyone's eyes, isn't it? β
This was unanimously agreed by Zhao Damiang, Li Jingeng and others.
Mrs. Wang called out: "That's our Lijiazhuang's land, why give it to her for nothing?" You Li Zhaodi will take other people's things as favors! Besides, how is that wasteland, I looked, the vegetables grown by Dr. Shen are quite smart, better than those grown in my vegetable field.
"That piece of land is worth a lot of money! Less than five taels of silver per acre, I absolutely do not agree to sell! β
Her words were supported by several families led by Zhang Cuihua.
And more people, it is a neutral attitude.
As the daughter-in-law of the village chief, even if she had the heart to help Shen Yizhi speak, it was not easy to make it too obvious, so she glanced at Aunt Li.
Aunt Li fired at Mrs. Wang, "Aunt Wang, you have to speak of conscience, the year before last, you slipped down the slope and twisted your waist, did you know that your mother braved the rain to show you?" Last year, you had a rash on your honeysuckle, was it cured by your mother? Have you forgotten all this? β
Mrs. Wang was a little weak-hearted, but when she thought of the money that was distributed to each family after selling the land, she was confident again, and she said with a stalk around her neck: "These are two different things!" What we're talking about now is how to sell the land! What's more, she treated us, and I didn't pay for my wife? I paid for the consultation! β
Aunt Li was really speechless, "Just the two green onions you gave, also called the consultation fee?" You're embarrassed to admit it, but I'm embarrassed to say it. β
"Li Zhaodi! How did you talk to me! I'm your elder! You still have to call me an aunt according to your generation! β
Aunt Li pouted, such an elder, hehe.
"That's it! What a noise! The village chief slammed a temporary wooden board on the table.
He glanced around at everyone and said in a deep voice: "Actually, what I mean is that I want to sell it to Zhiniang for three taels of silver per mu, but since someone disagrees-"
As he said this, his gaze swept over Mrs. Wang's face.
"Then let's fold it in half, four taels of silver per mu, how about it?"
For a while, no one spoke.
Mrs. Wang jumped up again, "How can it be done!" His second master, didn't you deliberately favor her when you watched someone save your family Yunzi? Then I won't say yes! This is the land of the whole village, why is it taken as a favor by you alone? You give us the rest of the money? β
The village chief's forehead jumped, "This can't do this, that can't do it!" Then you say, how much is the right amount! β
"What's the matter, I have to ask for a seven...... Eight...... Nine...... Ten taels. β
Mrs. Wang opened her mouth.
caused Zhang Cuihua to look sideways.
Aunt Li sneered: "An acre of wasteland sells for ten taels of silver, auntie, why don't you rob it!" In a village, the food is too ugly. β
She turned around and said to Shen Yi as if admonishing: "Zhiniang, whoever in their family will come to you for medical treatment in the future, you will ignore her!" This kind of white-eyed wolf, no matter how much you help her, she won't remember you at all, why bother! β
Mrs. Wang was unconvinced, "Li Zhaodi, who do you say is a white-eyed wolf!" β
Aunt Li rolled her eyes: "Whoever should say it." β
"You!"
The village chief slapped the plank again, "That's it! Sell an acre of landβ"
Shen Yizhi intercepted his words: "Uncle, I have an idea, you don't think it's okay." β
"You say."
Shen Yi knew: "Otherwise, let's follow the principle of the minority obeying the majority, and the big guys vote." Uncle, when the vote is going to be held later, I will wait outside, and you will ask everyone if you are willing to sell me three taels of silver and an acre of land, and then you will count it.
"It's the same with four, five, and six, and ask them all once. In the end, let's see which opinion supports the most people, let's go according to that price, what do you think? β
"Yes."
"Yes."
"Okay, I'll go out for a while, and I'll come back when there's a result."
Shen Yizhi took Qingbao out of the yard and waited under the persimmon tree outside.
She came out to let everyone vote without scruples, but she also wanted to see clearly who really supported her.
Although she is outside, don't forget, she is a monk now, and once her divine sense comes out, the movements within a radius of dozens of meters can't hide from her at all.
