Chapter 291 Mayor Lu

"Mayor, you don't have to be like this, we believe you!" A group of people had mixed emotions.

"You have done a lot, whether in town or in the countryside, you have done a lot to poor people like us. As I know, my in-laws work on your farm, and the wages they get are enough to support the whole family. It is better than before." How much better."

"Not only did you not take advantage of anyone's money, but you also helped us sincerely. Although my family's share is not as large as others', I, Wang Yi, am convinced by this method of division!"

The scene began to turn one-sided, and several squires and elders were so angry that their lips trembled.

In the end, it ended miserably with the oldest one fainting from anger.

Uncle Qi didn't say whether he had stolen money or whether he had enriched himself. He had no ability to take responsibility and just wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.

In turn, it also shows that Lu Lizheng and the others are truly good people who sincerely care about the people.

"Huh?" Xu Mengxiao shouted quickly while a few old guys were running away in despair.

"Lu Hai, please return the copper coin to Uncle Qi quickly. We don't know where the money came from. To prevent wrongful accusations and offending good people, we should return the money to them."

Uncle Qi turned back to glare at her angrily, wishing he could peel off a layer of her skin. Lu He raised his eyes warningly and shuddered immediately.

This time they hit the iron plate!
"But what should we do? It's our money. How could we get it so cheaply? They stole the money. It's so abominable. Is there any justice in it?"

"Don't panic, everyone." Xu Mengxiao lowered her hand gesture, "We have almost calculated, we are probably 20 taels short."

"20 taels!"

There were only 100 taels in total, half of which was given to them. They were greedy for half of the 50 taels.

From this point of view, they probably gave less points to other innocent people!

"It's too much. We should ask them to get the money back. How could they ignore the rules and give more points to their own people? It shows that they often do this kind of thing."

Xu Mengxiao continued to press, "Although 20 taels is a lot, on behalf of Taoyuan Township, I am willing to make up the 20 taels for everyone. In the name of Taoyuan Township, I hope that everyone will not be blinded by some people with ulterior motives."

"Supply, supply us?" Everyone was in disbelief. 20 pairs of Taoyuan Township was not a lot, but it was worth all their belongings.

In their opinion, it is a sky-high price!
“Sandong’s atmosphere is great!”

"Mayor, you have a good daughter-in-law." Everyone was full of praise and asked themselves that no matter how rich they were, they would never be able to do such a generous thing.

Lu Lizheng smiled happily and said: "Okay, it's getting late. Come on and collect the money. Just in case everyone is anxious, we will work hard to divide the money quickly."

"No, no need, we trust you, we can do it at any time." Everyone expressed their gratitude.

If the people who bowed to those squires and elders before were people who wanted to please them and secretly gave them more money.

At this moment, the people were all grateful from the bottom of their hearts, and some even kowtowed to them after receiving the money.

One hundred Wen is sometimes the money to eat a dish, but sometimes it is also the money to save a life!
Seeing someone leaving with tears in their eyes, Lu Hai and others straightened their backs unconsciously, not feeling tired at all.

This busy work lasted until dawn without even realizing it. Even Lu He's body didn't rest, and the others were working non-stop.

As the sun rises, the entrance to the town gradually becomes lively.

When many people who had received their money yesterday passed by, they realized that they had been busy for nearly a day and a night without any rest.

His expression was shocked, "Quick, go bring some water to the mayor and others to quench their thirst!"

"Who is cooking? Hurry up and bring some over. I heard that they didn't eat until last night. They are so busy..."

For a time, many people in the town took action spontaneously, enthusiastically and actively delivering various foods to them.

Regardless of whether it tastes good or not, these are things that people are reluctant to eat and only take out during the holidays.Some people from other places looked at this scene with curiosity and confusion.

"Split the money? This is the first time I've heard of it. It's interesting... but is it only given to people in the town? Are you people in the countryside not jealous or anxious?"

"Why are you so anxious?" A lady who came to sell vegetables sighed, "Don't worry about the mayor doing his job. That's fair!"

"Besides, we in the countryside are also taken care of. Although we don't give money directly, it gives many of us a long-term job. As long as we are willing to work, life will definitely get better in the future."

"Is there such a thing?" The businessmen from other places were a little surprised and asked about this special and attentive mayor.

"Lu Dayou, why does it sound familiar to you?"

"Waterwheel, Li Ji waterwheel! It seems to have been made by a man named Lu, right?" His companion suddenly remembered.

"That's right, it's our current mayor. After building the water tanker, our area will be completely drought-free, and we don't have to worry about this year's crops." The informed people proudly puffed up their chests.

"It turns out it's him. He's a strange man. Fortunately, he can come up with such ideas."

"Go, help me buy some food for the mayor. That water tanker also helped my hometown a lot. I didn't expect to meet him here."

If the timing hadn't been wrong, these people would have wanted to visit in person.

However, Lu Li and others were too busy to stop. At this moment, Yao Yuan also sent over another 100 taels of copper coins to be exchanged, and everyone started the next wave.

You have to ask Xu Mengxiao why he still does it himself when he can hire someone to help. Just look at how good the effect is now.

To get something, you have to sacrifice something.

Even though people in the town tried to persuade them to post it later and take a rest first, they still declined with a smile.

If Xu Mengxiao did this because he wanted to achieve some goals, Lu Lizheng wanted to do this for everyone openly and from the bottom of his heart.

It was also during the process of questioning that he further learned that some people's lives were so miserable that they could not imagine this kind of life even in their most difficult times.

Therefore, he has no reason to rest. Since he has done it, he will do it to the extreme.Getting money as soon as possible can also solve some people's urgent needs.

Not long after, Jixiang came over, followed closely by Ye Chu, helping silently.

There were only a few hundred households in the town, and they came one after another and lined up. When it came to themselves, they didn't do any nonsense. They just did what they wanted. No one was trying to sell their own flesh and blood to get more money. .

In silence, everyone was silently affected, and they cooperated honestly, and gradually accelerated the speed.

At night, Lu Lizheng insisted: "You should go back and rest first. Lu He can't be tired anymore."

Xu Mengxiao was fine, but she knew that if she didn't rest, Lu He would not leave.

"Okay, let's go to the inn to stay for one night and come to see you tomorrow morning."

"Yao Jing and Yao Yuan, I'm sorry to trouble you here. Keep an eye on me and don't make my father-in-law too tired." Xu Mengxiao ordered.

After she and Lu He went to the inn to freshen up, and gave Lu He some medicine, she didn't even have the energy to be gentle, so she fell down and fell asleep.

On the third day, when the matter of dividing the money was finally coming to an end, Song Gao was alerted and brought people from the county government to express condolences in person.

The people talked a lot, expressing how serious and responsible Lu Lizheng was and how much he cared about them.

Some elderly people expressed their gratitude with tears and runny noses:
"We were told by Qi San and others that we have always been unwilling to accept the mayor, thinking that he is no big deal, but this time we finally understand."

"He is the mayor, our Mayor Lu!"
