After marrying sick Yangzi, I made my whole family rich

Chapter 290: Losing People’s Heart
"The most important thing is that only about half of the people who can come from the town are here. I can't give all the money to you so that others can't get a share, right?" Xu Mengxiao said sincerely.

This is the truth, but the hundred or so people on Uncle Qi's side were anxious and dissatisfied, "It's not like everyone else has it, we are the only ones who don't have it!"

"So I'm very confused about what the problem is. According to the original plan, Uncle Qi will not only give you enough money, but also have some leftover."

When Sanshu Qi saw her like this, a familiar feeling came back to him. Not long ago, this damn girl looked like this when she tricked them.

"Very good. Are you doubting us by saying this? Lao Wu, let them search. I want to see what they can't find. What do you want to say?" He looked like he was angry because he was wrongly accused.

Some people who didn't know the truth felt that it was a bit too much, and said in support: "Uncle Qi and the others should have no problem. They are old and don't want to do this."

"That's right, they think that we are all as poor as you, and we will be bribed by others when we see a few copper coins!"

A squire took the opportunity to vent his dissatisfaction and immediately made a group of people unhappy.

"Shut up!" Uncle Qi looked at the others, "Since they don't believe us, then prove it to them."

He knew well that although these people had taken some, they did not dare to take too much. If they went too far, even if they were found out, it could still be said to be their own money.

But he couldn't do it. He packed a big bag. Normal people would not carry so many coins with them. Isn't that just a mental illness?

So Uncle Qi struck preemptively, as if he had a clear conscience, blurring the key points.

Xu Mengxiao saw through his little trick and didn't say anything, just letting Yao Jing and Lu Hai take action.

"That's unreasonable! Who do you think you are? You want to search us old men?"

"In the beginning, you said you trusted us, and you don't trust us when you employ people, and you don't trust people when you doubt us. Are you treating people like monkeys?!"

A few old men were cursing and bluffing.

Yao Jing and Lu Hai were not afraid and quickly took out all the money in their pockets.

The most amount was only a few dozen coins, and it was hard to tell whether it was stolen or belonged to oneself, but how could a bunch of country squires be greedy for such a small amount of money!

Everyone thought everything was fine, "Maybe you miscalculated. I see there are so many here, there must be enough!"

The next second, Uncle Qi, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, felt as if he had stepped on something, causing him to stumble hard.

Immediately afterwards, he couldn't hold back his momentum and fell forward in embarrassment——

"what!"

As he fell, the copper plates stuffed in his pocket rolled out like marbles.

There was a crackle, like a sudden heavy rain.

Right under everyone's noses, Uncle Qi "maged" the missing copper coins like a magic trick.

Everyone was dumbfounded, and even the other old men were stunned into silence.

This, this damn Qi Laosan, why did he steal so many copper coins? There was not even a tael of silver in total, but he made a mess all over!

"Ah!" Xu Mengxiao's face was full of disbelief, and she hurriedly helped Uncle Qi up after he had fallen badly.

"Are you okay? Why did you fall suddenly? Is it because you packed too much money when you went out... But why did you bring so many copper coins? How heavy they are!"

Load it up! Load it up!

Uncle Qi couldn't bear it anymore, his face turned red with shame, and he shouted with all his strength: "This is my personal habit, it's none of your business!"

"Yeah, I believe it's definitely not your problem. Lu Hai, hurry up and pretend for Mr. Qi and return it to him."

Uncle Qi couldn't figure out what she was going to do for a moment, so he snorted, thinking she was going to give up.But at this time, the hundreds of ordinary people who had not received any money were dissatisfied, "This is not his money! He doesn't have so much money on him, otherwise it would be inconvenient to do anything!"

"Besides, we have seen it with our own eyes. Not only did he collect money for himself, but he also gave money to people he knew. This is all our money, so we can't just let it go!"

"That's right, Uncle Qi, you are already old and your family is not poor. Why are you greedy for life-saving money from us little people?"

Once someone made a protest, others responded one after another, all filled with resentment towards Uncle Qi and the others.

Xu Mengxiao silently stepped aside, smiling to see how the situation would develop as he expected, driven by interests.

"Nonsense!" Uncle Qi and the others naturally refused to admit it, and even spoke arrogantly, further angering other unrelated people.

Each and every one of them accused them of being selfish.

"I'm really blind. I actually thought that you are some respected elders, and I come to you for advice on all important matters in the family. But in the end, you did such a despicable thing!"

Uncle Qi and others were so angry that their chests heaved. At this moment, Xu Mengxiao was still being questioned by a group of people and was speechless.

In the end, I could only keep showing off, trying to scare them away.

Unfortunately, after arousing public outrage, everyone has completely lost any respect for them.

"Pay back the money! Pay back our hard-earned money!" The crowd spontaneously began to cheer with great momentum.

"You, you..."

"Pay back the money, or get out of Yunxi Town if you don't pay back the money!"

"Get out of Yunxi Town, get out of Yunxi Town!" The shouts became louder and louder.

"Lu Dayou, this is the trouble you have caused! If you don't explain it clearly to them and ask them to calm down, you are no longer the mayor!" Uncle Qi was furious and became more and more arrogant.

Several other old people finally realized that the matter was serious and hurried to appease the people.

It can be seen that after seeing their faces like this, how can we endure it, not to mention that we have been manipulated by them in the past.

This was just the straw that broke the camel's back!
"What's wrong with the mayor? They have arranged everything well. I'm asking you to do me a favor. Is this how you treat us?"

Everyone complained.

At this time, Lu Lizheng finally spoke.

“I don’t know what to say, but we here have a clear conscience and consider everyone wholeheartedly. We just want to do things well so that more people can live a good life and not be overwhelmed by hardship. This is why I want to build this town. Long-lasting original intention.”

The crowd gradually quieted down.

"At the beginning, it was not that I refused to come to the town to help you, but that you have your own power in the town, and I chose to respect everyone's choice. In this way, I will exclusively take care of the countryside and let these squires and elders take charge of the town. "

"I don't want to...Hey, I can't say anything. Let's just leave it like this. In order to avoid saying that we deliberately targeted them, we will also prove our innocence and let everyone see-"

As he spoke, he took the lead and jumped up spontaneously, patting and slapping his body constantly.

That way, not to mention a lot of copper coins, I'm afraid I don't even have a few coins, I really have a breeze on my sleeves, and I am honest and honest.

Others followed suit, and Xu Mengxiao did not avoid it. She solemnly and earnestly expressed her innocence.

It makes Sanshu Qi and his group of old men who are supposed to be "highly respected" even more narrow-minded and selfish.
