Chapter 36: Asking for Someone
After Zheng's fuss to the outside world and a scolding to Zhang, this matter seems to have passed.
Erlin didn't say anything, and the Zhang family didn't go back to Zhang's house, as if it hadn't happened.
Everyone in Dante's family, except for a few children, knew that this incident had left traces in the hearts of the people in the family.
On this day, a man came to Wanshan Village.
At first, the people in the village didn't pay much attention to it, and they didn't do anything, just looked around the village.
However, not long after the man asked the village chief about the location of his house, the village chief personally took people around the village, and when they left, he was still smiling.
The people in the village were curious, it was already winter at this time, and people had nothing to do, so they couldn't help but ask a few words when they saw it.
The village chief didn't say anything, but vaguely said that he came to see the land, and the others didn't say anything more.
When the people in the village saw that the village chief didn't want to say more and didn't ask, they didn't speculate in private.
More people still say that there are big families who want to come to their village to buy land, after all, there are many places that the people are looking at, and they are all empty wasteland.
From that day on, the people of the village waited to see when the man would come again.
However, the man had not come again since that day, and the matter was naturally over before he could wait for the result.
Half a month passed like this, and a group of people suddenly came to the village, and the group went directly to the village chief's house.
Suddenly such a large group of people suddenly came to the village, and the people in the village must have been curious, so they followed those people to the door of the village chief's house and guarded them, wanting to know what these people were here for.
There are still people in the village who have some knowledge, so they said: "I see that these people are all holding guys who repair houses, are they coming to the village to repair houses?" ”
"Fix the house? Is there anyone in the village who is going to build a new house? ”
"No, haven't you heard? Besides, if the people in the village don't just repair houses and find people from our village, why do they still invite so many people? Moreover, you see, they only opened the bricks and tiles that people came to repair the house, so it is possible that so many people are repairing the earthwork. ”
"You seem to have a point."
"Whatever, let's just follow and see."
"Yes."
……
In this way, a group of mothers-in-law and women in the village were waiting at the door of the village chief's house.
While they were talking, the men also came out of the village chief's house, along with the village chief and his eldest son.
The village chief didn't say anything when he saw so many people standing in front of his house, so many people entered the village, and it was normal for the villagers to be curious.
The village chief led the group to a wasteland at the end of the village, and after a few words and gestures with the leader of the group, the village chief left.
"Okay, it's scattered, what's there to see, why don't you just build a house, let's all go to Changba with me for a meeting, and see if anyone else hasn't come to call out."
When leaving, the village chief also greeted the villagers who came with him.
There is nothing in the village that does not hold a meeting, and when I heard the meeting, those people were not curious, didn't the village chief say it, people are repairing houses, and a group of people followed the village chief to Changba.
On the way back, I shouted all the way from house to house, and the village chief was not required to summon another party.
Almost all the men, women and children in the village gathered in Changba, but fortunately, Changba is big enough, otherwise it may not be able to accommodate so many people.
"Eh, do you know what the village chief is going to say?"
"I don't know, I haven't heard any wind at all."
"Do you think it's because of that group of people?"
"I think it's possible, just wait, the village chief will tell us later."
……
"Be quiet, everyone, be quiet."
The eldest son of the village chief's family shouted loudly above, but there were so many people that he couldn't be quiet for a while.
At this time, Wang Cheng came from the gongs at home.
"Bang...... Nation...... Bang ......"
With the sound of gongs, the crowd gradually quieted down.
"Everyone must be curious about why everyone suddenly called a meeting today, in fact, it is not a big event, and it can be regarded as a happy event.
Everyone has seen the group of people who came today, I don't know if you still remember that there was a person in the village a few days ago. ”
As soon as the village chief said this, some people below remembered it, and the crowd began to liven up.
Seeing that the chaos began to start again, the village chief motioned for his son to strike the gong.
"Bang...... Bang ......"
It was quiet again.
"That's right, the old man who came not long ago landed in our village, no, I came to see the place a few days ago.
It's just that I didn't come after that, and I thought that people wouldn't come, so I didn't tell everyone.
Today, someone came, and I thought about a piece of wasteland, so I agreed to sell it.
It is the wasteland at the end of the village where those people go today, and the price given by people is high, five taels of silver per acre of wasteland.
I don't keep this silver, the land belongs to the village, and the money should be shared by everyone, there are sixty-five families in our village, and we will calculate it in a while, and each family will not be less than yours.
Okay, that's all I have to say at today's meeting, do you have anything else to say? ”
"Village chief, when will this money be divided?"
"Yes, village chief, when will this money be divided?"
It doesn't matter much to them if there is more or less wasteland, they can't use it anyway, and it's not suitable for farming.
They are obviously more interested in what they can get their hands on, and it is the silver that can be obtained without having to pay.
There were many voices talking below, and the village chief didn't hear it clearly for a while, so he gestured to his son on the side.
"Bang ......"
"Everyone, talk slowly, I can't hear you clearly."
……
"Village chief, when will this money be divided?"
A male voice shouted loudly.
The villagers below also began to chim.
"Bang ......"
"Okay, I know what you said, the money is still whole silver, and I don't have so many copper plates at home, so let's let them redeem it tomorrow, and we'll have a meeting in the afternoon to divide it, do you think it's okay?"
……
There was a quiet pause below, and then there was commotion again.
In the end, the matter was decided, and tomorrow morning I went to redeem the money in the afternoon.
After the village chief left, the villagers began to calculate the amount of money they could get for each family.
However, there are not many people who can calculate it, and in the end, it is calculated that almost every family can get seventy Kaiwen, and the people in the village are very happy, who is not happy to get so much money for nothing.
From the next day, there were cars and horses pulling wood and bricks to and from the village, all to the wasteland at the end of the village.
After receiving the money, the villagers became more concerned about the progress on the wasteland, and they wanted to know who was going to move to their village.
It's not that no one has asked the people who built the houses, it's just that they don't know, they're just responsible for the work.
The house at the end of the village was built very quickly, and it was repaired in a month, and the people in the village were very envious when they looked at the repaired blue brick house, and at the same time they were more curious about the owner of the house.
Almost half of the acre of wasteland is used to build houses, and the structure inside is unknown to the villagers, but it is already very large and enviable from the appearance.
After the house was repaired, the people who built the house also left, and the villagers waited to see when the owner of the house would move in.
