Chapter 289 Full of personal pockets
"Uncle Third, you know how difficult it is for my family..." A man said, looked around, and quickly suppressed his voice.

"See if you can give me some more."

The old man known as "Third Uncle" immediately looked around with a stern look on his face. Seeing that Xu Mengxiao and the others were not paying attention, the large group of people lined up on his side were all "acquaintances" who had frequent contacts on weekdays.

The most important thing is that there are so many half-pockets of copper coins placed here that it seems that a few coins less and a few more coins make no difference.

"Go, hurry up." But with quick eyes and hands, he grabbed two large handfuls of copper coins and handed them to him.

The man was also very clever. He quickly hid them in his pocket and walked carefully. Only after running a long distance did he dare to count the coins with joy.

"A full two hundred cents!" If he had followed the original plan, he would have been able to get a hundred cents at most!

After that, Uncle Qi became more and more courageous, and his actions became more and more smooth, which was natural.

Anyone he knew or had a good relationship with would immediately enrich his pockets with a wink, without making a move.

Uncle Qi even dug a lot into his pockets. Once he stood up and moved a lot, he might make a clanging sound!
There was no way, although his family was not poor, they were not wealthy either. Since he "trusted" them so much and asked them to share the money, he had to give them some benefits!

Xu Mengxiao and Lu He both saw this scene, and some others also noticed it, but they did not dare to expose it openly for fear that Uncle Qi would deduct their money.

Gradually, the amount of money he has here is dwindling, almost to the point of being ridiculous.

When Xu Mengxiao and the others still had more than half of their bags, Uncle Qi was about to bottom out.

After the sky turned completely dark, Lu Lizheng asked someone to light lanterns and torches and said: "Divide, continue to divide until this bag is finished, we can't keep everyone waiting!"

"Yes, we have to finish the work even if we don't sleep. Everyone has been waiting for a long time. I will ask someone to buy some tea and deliver it." Yao Jing was very polite and received a lot of praise.When everyone drank water, lost their anxiety, and waited patiently for themselves, Uncle Qi suddenly raised his voice proudly.

"Okay, I've finished sharing it here!"

He then rudely accused Lu Lizheng and the others, "You guys can't do things well. A bunch of people are in their prime, how can they do things slower than me, an old man? It's not okay to make everyone wait for so long!"

"Have you finished dividing?" The people lined up on his side were stunned for a moment. They swallowed and wanted to say something, but were quickly stopped by the people around them.

"Let's go over there, there are a lot more over there." As he said that, he was about to get back into the queue on Lu Lizheng's side.

"Hey? That's not possible. We are dividing the money for you on a per-person basis. What's going on? Now that you have finished dividing the money, everyone should receive the money. Why are there still hundreds of people who haven't received it?" Xu Meng Xiao seemed to be simply puzzled.

Uncle Qi glared angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? Could it be possible that we can still line our own pockets!"

He said this quite confidently, as if he really didn't do anything dirty.

And he can also fool these people. After all, he doesn't look guilty at all. Many people have given up their suspicions and are about to speak for help.

Xu Mengxiao nodded, "In order to verify your innocence, we really should investigate. After all, there are so many people who haven't received their share. The money we have here is only enough to share it with our people. We can't let them." If you come back empty-handed, you won’t get any money, right?”

As soon as he said this, these people who originally wanted to settle the matter suddenly became anxious, "No, why don't you give us a share? Aren't there still 100 taels of copper coins tomorrow?"

"But we have done the math. We have clearly recorded how many people are here, what is the general situation of your family, and how much money you will receive in the end."
