Chapter 107 Pensions

Shi Yu comforted the woman in the house, he thought of a set of excuses for a while, and slowly told his wife that her husband had not returned to the county government for several months in order to arrest the Jiangyang thieves who had fled to Yunyong from other places. I haven't received my monthly salary for the past few months, and I'll bring it back to her for family use in a while.

Shi Yu's purpose in saying this was that he couldn't bear to watch the orphans and widows have to accept such a cruel truth during the New Year, so he lied, he felt that at least they had to let them finish the Lantern Festival with anticipation, and then he announced the news, so that it would be treated as a public event, at least it would not be able to find out Qingqing's head. Anyway, Yun Yong is often troubled by the court and superiors.

Hearing Shi Yu's words, the woman was very happy and cried and laughed and knelt down to kowtow to Shi Yu, Shi Yu looked at them and was pitiful and decided to take them in, he used the excuse to go out to Qingqing to discuss how to arrange the mother and daughter.

Qingqing will make another breakfast, and the three of them have eaten up the meal just now.

Shi Yu and Qingqing said that they wanted to take in the mother and daughter, and Qingqing shook his head after thinking about it. Shi Yu couldn't understand why Qingqing, who was usually kind and generous, could have no sympathy?

"Brother Shi Yu, it's not that I don't have sympathy, you think I'm their enemy, even if they don't know now, but if I leak my mouth and let them know, we will become big liars, and they will want to take us in, instead of this, we should directly pay them a sum of money for the original pension, so that they have the capital to survive and we can also have peace of mind, and will never be exposed to lies, okay?" Qingqing looked at Shi Yu and said a lot, she just didn't want others to misunderstand her intentions.

"Is that good?" After listening to it, Shi Yu felt that it was also a feasible way, but he still felt a little reluctant in his heart.

"Otherwise, what better way to do it? Even if we take them in and raise them, after a long time, they will feel that this is what we should do, and they will not want to be self-reliant, which will increase our financial burden. If every family member of a public official were like this, our county government would become a nursing home." Qingqing gave Shi Yu an in-depth analysis of the problem.

"Okay then, so that all the catches who are killed by you will pay a pension so that you can block the mouths of the people." Shi Yu eventually accepted the suggestion.

"Okay, since I killed the person, then I'll pay for the pension. It just so happens that I sold a pair of words, which should be enough." Qingqing was glad in his heart that thanks to knocking out the two rich men, otherwise the matter of preparing the pension would have cost Qingqing's life. It's really hard to make money in this ancient world of material scarcity and ill-informed.

When Qingqing put the seal and Zhang Xiang came over to have breakfast with Shi Yu, when discussing how to determine the amount of the pension, there was a disagreement. Of course, Yin Jiangzi didn't participate, she just ate and listened quietly to their discussion.

Zhang Xiang's opinion is to continue to pay monthly salaries month by month, so that they will be sent until their children get married. Of course Shi Yu disagreed, this person is gone, and he will check the accounts on the monthly salary, and if he doesn't get it right, it is a crime of embezzlement under the name of cleverness, and in fact, he also got a cent of this money. Shi Yu's opinion is to be issued in place at one time, so that both sides are worry-free.

Then, Zhang Xiang and Shi Yu both looked at Qingqing, hoping to get her opinion. Qingqing lowered her head and didn't speak, the money was going to need her to take it out. She doesn't care how to give, she cares most about how much she gives, don't get around, it's embarrassing if she doesn't have enough money on hand.

"Sister Qing, you speak." Shi Yu urged, and Zhang Xiang glared at him when he heard his salutation.

"Don't scream, this is my sister." Zhang Xiang warns Shi Yu. Qingqing glared at Zhang Xiang, and Zhang Xiang lowered his head to eat.

"No matter how I give, don't exceed my ability, I only have 10,000 taels of silver now. Let's count how many people there are, and how many people each person will give." Qingqing's words made the other three people present choke.
