Chapter 510 Divide the money!
Chapter 510 Share the money!
After Si Qing sat down, he clapped his little hands and said, "I called you here today to share the money. Yesterday, with the efforts of Si Zhengping and others, our vegetables were sold for a total of one hundred and ninety-eight taels of silver."
"One hundred...one hundred and ninety-eight taels of silver?"
When the villagers heard this amount, they were shocked from ear to ear. They subconsciously turned to look at Si Zhengping and the others: "Village chief, how do you sell it? More than twenty baskets of vegetables can be sold for nearly two hundred taels of silver?"
"Oh my God, village chief, aren't you trying to rob a banker?"
Si Zhengping, Wang Sanlang and three clan elders were named by their aunt, and they were happily accepting everyone's admiration with their chests raised, when suddenly they heard someone saying that they were robbing the bank.
I immediately felt unhappy.
"What nonsense are you talking about? If you think this money was stolen, don't take it for a while!" The young man from the clan cursed angrily.
When the man heard this, he was immediately frightened: "Elder of the clan... I was wrong, I was just talking casually."
"Humph!" The clan elders snorted in dissatisfaction and did not want to pay attention to him.
The man also shrank his neck in fear and did not dare to speak again.
Seeing the joy of the villagers, Si Qing clapped his hands and signaled everyone to quiet down.
Then he continued: "Although everyone grows the vegetables, the geothermal springs where the vegetables are grown belong to me, so I will take 30% of the one hundred and ninety-eight taels of silver. Do you have any objections?"
When the villagers heard this, of course they had no objections!
When they grow vegetables in their aunt's land, they feel they deserve not to mention receiving 30% of the money, but even 50% of the money.
"Auntie, we have no objection."
"That's right, if it weren't for you, where would we have the chance to make money, don't you think so?"
"That's right, grandma, you should take the money. If I grow anything from the geothermal springs in the future, no matter what it is, grandma will get 50% of it!"
"I agree!"
"I agree!"
"Me too!"
I saw that the people in the village did not turn against each other for the sake of profit, and still maintained their previous simplicity.
Si Qing felt more and more satisfied in her heart. She raised her hand to calm everyone down: "There's no need for five percent. After all, you grew the vegetables. I'll get three percent."
After that, he looked at Si Jinsong and signaled him to start: "Whoever is called next will come up and collect the money."
Si Jinsong nodded, spread out his account book and began to roll call: "Chen Laoshi, two taels of silver."
Chen Laoshi's wife stood up with a smile. Mrs. Wu took out two taels of broken silver and handed it to her. Chen Laoshi's wife looked at the two broken pieces of silver, her eyes narrowed with joy.
With this money, I can find a good wife for Chen Xiaohe next year and buy another room for my family.
When Chen Laoshi's wife thought of this, her eyes became wet with excitement.
This is all thanks to my aunt. If it weren't for my aunt, not to mention these two taels of silver, even half a tael of silver would have taken the old couple two years of frugal living and saving.
Chen Laoshi's wife held the money in her hand and walked up to Si Qing. Without saying a word, she knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you, grandma!"
Si Qing nodded.
Chen Laoshi's wife touched the tears from the corners of her eyes and stood up.
The next one was Mrs. Liu Dali, who also received two taels of silver this time.
Even though Liu Dali was the only one in the mountains and had no one to help him, Liu Dali worked really hard!
When it was dark in the morning, he would go to work in the fields and stay in the fields all day long. Not even Si Shanhe could endure it.
No, hard work brings reward. His hard work was not in vain, he only earned two taels of silver.
You must know that Chen Laoshi and Chen Xiaohe, father and son, lived in the mountains and only received two taels of silver for the vegetables they grew.
