Although she said that, Aunt Li is a mother after all, and her thoughts are still traditional rural women's thoughts, and she can only listen to half of Li Xu's words.

"Now that he has grown so big, I can't discipline him anymore, so I can only give him a little more money in the future, and wait until he earns money from planting trees."

Zhang Jianjun had nothing to say, so he could only nod silently.

Halfway through, the rest of the villagers also went back to their respective homes and did their own things, and Zhang Jianjun also had to go back to his home and re-list the list of registered saplings.

This kind of thing can only be done by him, after all, he is the village chief, and there are many things that he can't get out of.

When she was about to leave, Aunt Li finally thought of the reason why she and Zhang Jianjun went back together, and stopped and asked, "Village Chief, didn't you say that you have something to tell me?" ”

Zhang Jianjun scratched his head, almost forgot about his business, and hurriedly took out his pocket and took out a few large bills from it.

"Aunt Li, there are still more places to use the money next, I'm afraid that a few hundred yuan is not enough, I don't have much money when I go out, you will use it first."

Aunt Li saw that there were hundreds of yuan, and she was a little embarrassed.

"Village Chief, thanks to you today. I don't even know how to thank you, I can't take this money! ”

Zhang Jianjun didn't care so much, he directly stuffed the money into her hand, and said solemnly: "Everyone is from the same village, and we must help each other when we are in trouble." Aunt Li, you don't have to be polite to me, if you have anything at home in the future, just tell me. ”

After all, he is the village head, although it is difficult for a Qing official to cut off family affairs, but with such a mixed son, Aunt Li will have no less headaches in the future.

It's impossible to make Li Xu change his face in a short period of time, but he can't watch Aunt Li live that kind of life every day.

This was within his reach, so Zhang Jianjun didn't think much about it.

Aunt Li didn't know how to refuse, and it was not easy to refuse, so she could only say that she had borrowed money for the time being, and she would let Li Xu pay it back in the future.

Zhang Jianjun didn't dare to hope for anything in this regard, he just hoped that he would make less trouble.

After separating from Aunt Li, Zhang Jianjun returned to his home.

Zheng Xiaomei was still cooking in the kitchen, and when she saw Zhang Jianjun coming back, she looked physically and mentally exhausted, thought about it for a long time, and asked with concern.

"I just heard Sister Wang say on the way back that Aunt Li's son stole the family's money?"

Zhang Jianjun smelled the smell of rice, the exhaustion on his body was swept away, and he replied lightly: "Well, it would be fine if it was only a few hundred yuan, and she took away all the three thousand yuan that her mother kept to build a new house, and when we arrived, there were only a few hundred yuan left, and a bunch of change." ”

Zheng Xiaomei wore an apron and said with a displeased face: "He has been like this since he was a child, and he will definitely be like this in the future, it's hopeless!" ”

Zhang Jianjun didn't want to continue this topic, looked around, and found that Mrs. Zheng and Mr. Zheng were not at home, and they should be busy with housework at home at this point, so he asked casually: "Are your parents out?" ”

"Yes, go out and buy some food, I should be back soon."

Zhang Jianjun glanced at the time, it was five o'clock in the afternoon, and he had to go to patrol the grove a little far from his home in the evening to see the condition of the little sapling.

"Okay, is the meal ready?"

With that, he took the initiative to tie his apron and prepared to help in the kitchen.
