Chapter 159 Registering and Counting Losses
"Two pigs were washed away, two hens and one rooster were washed away, and one set of willow tables and chairs was washed away... One tael of Tibetan silver was lost, huh?"

Zheng Bai stopped writing and looked at Zhang Wei suspiciously.

Zhang Wei stared at the thin black young man standing in front of him with a stern face, bent his fingers and tapped the table twice, and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Liu, didn't I say you, do you have two pigs in your family? Are you hiding them?" I lost one tael of silver, and I said my family lost ten taels of silver!"

The skinny black youth said cheekily: "Brother Zhang, this money is my mother's coffin book at the bottom of the box."

"Usually we don't know how well it's hidden. It's buried under the tree in front of our house. This time, when we dig it up, it's gone. Don't we just think it was washed away by mudslides?"

The villagers at the back of the line laughed one after another.

Cheng Miaomiao's family, who came late because of dinner, were very far behind, and they looked over curiously when they heard the movement in front of them.

Cheng Miaomiao was short and couldn't see clearly even standing on tiptoe. He anxiously took Cheng Lin's hand and shook it, urging: "Father, hurry up! I can't see anything. Hurry up and pick me up!"

Ye Ning is helpless: "..."

Why does this girl like to join in the fun so much?

Cheng Lin heyed amusedly, picked her up and put her on his shoulders, and said proudly: "Why is this high enough? Can you see it?"

Cheng Miaomiao let out a wow in amazement.

This height is simply outstanding, and one can have a clear view of the situation below.

She nodded excitedly: "I see!"

Originally, she could see clearly at such a distance with her built-in sensor, but the sensor range was narrowed in the village, and within the sensor range, she could only hear the sound but not see the picture.

If you watch the quarrel but not the face, then why watch the quarrel!

At this time, Zhang Wei's face became darker after hearing Xiao Liu's words, and scolded: "It's just something out of nothing!"

"I'm not joking with you. The county magistrate is a good man who wants to make up for our losses. We shouldn't have lied about this matter. Where is the kindness of the magistrate?"

Looking down at Zheng Bai who was recording, he said: "Change his pigs into [-]-jin boars, and cross out the Tibetan silver. Whoever says that the Tibetan silver is lost in the future don't remember it. They are really used to it."

Zheng Bai nodded obediently, and changed things in Liu's house again under the kerosene lamp.

Aunt Lin held a broom taller than her in her hand, and stood beside her fiercely.

Seeing this, he rolled his eyes, and said angrily: "I know everything about every household. Who has raised a few chickens and how many pigs? Who is hiding this kind of news? I Just stare here to see who dares to make trouble!"

As soon as these words came out, the people in the team who were still hoping to fish in troubled waters by chance fell silent.

There is no family in the village that Aunt Lin has not been to. Whether it is a good relationship with her or a bad one, the number of people in the family, the number of acres of land and the number of livestock, as the wife of the village chief, she knows all about it.

Besides, there was the village head to support her.

Who dares to make trouble?

Cheng Miaomiao's almond eyes were black and bright, she wowed in admiration, clapped her hands vigorously, and boasted without thinking: "Aunt Lin is amazing!"

This kind of chaos that was very likely to break out disappeared without a trace under the words of the village chief and his wife.

It can be seen that people in the village still have awe of the village head.

Only those who are afraid will listen.

Cheng Miaomiao hugged her father's head, lowered her head and asked curiously: "Why would someone want to lie?"

Cheng Lin squeezed her little hand, and couldn't help but fell silent when he heard the words.

It's not that I don't want to talk about it, it's just that I want to take the opportunity to ask for more money. It's easy to explain, but no matter how you look at it, these things should not be known by a child of Miaomiao's age.

Ye Ning didn't have such scruples, and said directly: "It's rare for the county government to be generous. Naturally, some people want to get more benefits from it."

After all, if this list is submitted at that time, if the county government doesn't take it seriously, maybe the lost Tibetan silver may really be compensated, and no one knows whether his Tibetan silver is real or not.

Abbreviation, Empty Glove White Wolf.

Cheng Miaomiao was puzzled, then looked at the serious Zhang Wei, and asked in a low voice, "Then why doesn't the village head uncle agree to do this?"

When my father and mother were counting, they even included how many tiles were broken, and there were parts and wholes.

In fact, they can also say that the tiles are all broken, so wouldn't they be able to cheat more money?
Cheng Lin looked forward, his eyes darkened, he shook his head and said, "The timing is wrong."

Dr. Zeng showed a faint appreciation, nodded and said: "The village chief did a good job on this matter. Since the county magistrate can say that he wants to make up for it in front of us, it means that he has a plan for it in his heart."

At the very least, the approximate loss of each village will be estimated, and an approximate range of compensation will be given.

It's okay within this range, but if it exceeds the range, people with a discerning eye can see that they are lying about this matter, and the county magistrate's good impression of Xiaohe Village will be destroyed once.

Now that Jiahe exists, the county magistrate's attention has been divided a lot in Xiaohe Village.

At this juncture, what the village chief has to do is to seek stability, and he must not make a wrong step at this time.

As long as the Jiahe matter can go smoothly, the future will be smooth for Xiaohe Village. Not only the county will greatly appreciate them, but even the state capital and the imperial court in the capital will know about Xiaohe Village.

That's why Zhang Wei is so fair and strict in this matter.

It has to be said that the village head still has a vision and a big picture, and has a long-term view.

Cheng Miaomiao nodded with a vague understanding, but felt that these things were a bit complicated, and soon shifted her attention to other places, and asked enthusiastically, "Uncle Zeng, shall we go to the county together tomorrow?"

Dr. Zeng shook his head: "No, I have something else to do."

Cheng Miaomiao sighed regretfully.

He asked again, "Can Brother Ji come with us?"

As soon as these words came out, Zeng Ziji immediately raised his head and looked at him expectantly, his whole face was full of wanting to go.

Ji Huai had freedom of movement, he could follow either the Zeng family or the Cheng family, and Miaomiao would definitely go back when he went out to play tomorrow, so he would definitely go with Miaomiao.

Doctor Zeng was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head to meet his gaze.

Seeing this, he snorted and rubbed his nephew's head with his big hands. Looking at Cheng Lin and Ye Ning, he nodded and asked, "I will trouble Erlang to take care of Ziji for a while."

Cheng Lin naturally agreed.

Great, the three of them can hang out together again!
Cheng Miaomiao was so happy that she turned her feet up and said, "I haven't been to the county seat yet, Father, do you know what the county seat is like? Is it bigger than the town we went to last time?"

The last time I went to town happily, I ran into Pai Hanako.

Not only was he unable to go shopping, but he was taught by A Niang to sleep for most of the day because of the shooting of Hanako.After that, I was very busy, and I never went to the town again, and I didn't go to the county if I wanted to.

"You bumpkin, you haven't even been to the county seat!"

Zhu Zhu crossed his hips and made a face at her, mocking mercilessly.

 Meow: How dare he?
