Chapter 129: Ten taels of silver

Bai Yemao is sixty years old, and he must be able to hear the meaning of this, so he is even more angry, but how to say it now, people have to bow their heads under the eaves, this Yanxi Village is not the root of their Bai family, even if there is a great reason, there will still be no one here to give their family a head.

Thinking about it, I was very sad in my heart, and I turned my head to look at the north, my eyes were a little moist, but now although the sky is not completely dark, it is also a little dim, so no one pays attention to this scene.

"I Bai Yemao has been settling in Yanxi Village for more than 40 years, and when I settled down, I handed over 20 taels of silver to the village, when the country was in a period of war, 20 taels is life-saving money for most of your Chen family. Let's not talk about whether you have shelter for my Bai family, but I was kind to the ancestors of most of you here.

Brother Chen, although you were not the patriarch back then, your father was the patriarch of the Chen clan back then, and you should still remember the twenty taels he received. Bai Yemao looked at Chen Lizheng and squinted.

There was another sentence he didn't say, that is, the patriarch Chen back then asked for another ten taels of them in private, thinking that the current Chen Lizheng should know, if he didn't persuade these villagers, Bai Yemao wouldn't mind shaking it out.

If it weren't for the fact that they spent too much money settling down at that time, their Bai family would not be so poor now.

Chen Lizheng's pupils shrank when he heard this, but it disappeared in a flash, only to see him immediately smile and say: "Brother Bai, look at you, what are you talking about so seriously, we all know what happened back then, more than forty years have passed in this flash, and you and I have changed from young men back then to old men now." ”

"Yes, time flies, we are all old, and few of us still remember those hard days." Bai Yemao didn't say anything else when he heard this, and followed Chen Lizheng's words to recall the past.

Chen Lizheng stiffened again when he heard this, and secretly scolded this dead old man in his heart for having a fight with him, and what he said was not to say that their Chen family was ungrateful.

It's just that he can't turn his face directly for the time being, although the ten taels of silver his father collected at that time is not much for him now, but for their family at that time, it was a lot of money for the clan.

Now that he is old, where has the yamen of the right location here notified him, which means that he plans to re-elect people, of course he hopes that his eldest son will take over this position, and he can't let his village have a bad voice against their family during this critical period.

"Ahem, Brother Bai, let's take a step to talk." Chen Lizheng swept around, looked at Bai Yemao, and said inquiringly.

Of course, Bai Yemao will not really turn his face with Chen Lizheng, if he falls out, their Bai family will be really sad in Yanxi Village, since they have softened their attitude, then he will borrow the slope to get off the donkey, "Brother Lizheng is here, he should go into the house to have a cup of tea, but the villagers outside can't sit down, so they are lazy." ”

Chen Lizheng realized, turned his head to look at the eldest son who was following him, and said, "You take all the villagers to wait here, and I'll go first to talk to your Uncle Bai." He said with a slight meaning in his eyes.

Chen Guangming is a man of thirty and forty years old, who looks very similar to his father, but he has not been blessed for the time being, and he probably has read some books, and he looks polite and gentle.

Hearing his father's words, his eyes flashed, and he knew that there was probably a secret in it that he didn't know, so he didn't say much, but said: "Dad, go ahead, the villagers believe in you." ”

Chen Lizheng nodded when he heard this, his eyes were pleased.

After that, Chen Lizheng followed the Bai family into the hall, and then the door was closed, and Chen Guangming was outside to comfort everyone.
