pastoral beggar woman

Chapter 1292 Paying money to build temples (4)
The village chief's words were very harsh, and the woman's face was flushed red at first, both angry and ashamed, and the eyes of the people around made her wish to find a hole to get in.

"Village chief, please calm down. The second son's family has no bad intentions. It's not like you don't know, so don't take it to heart. You are right. Qin Shuang and the others have already helped our village build roads. We We must remember their kindness, this time rebuilding the temple is also a way for us villagers to benefit from improving their homes, for Qin Shuang and his wife, this temple is really dispensable, if they agree to nod now, we should be content."

"That's right, since we are the ones who take advantage, we should pay for it, otherwise, wouldn't it be just relying on other people's houses to make money, it's too unkind, let people in other villages know about it, and they won't be able to bury us with spittle. Say that the people in our village are not good enough!"

"That's right, that's right! A careless and good thing ended up making the village's reputation bad. In the future, it will be difficult for brothers and sisters in the village to get married. You can't do things that put the cart before the horse."

Others who were somewhat reluctant finally straightened their faces after hearing this. Indeed, if people knew that they were not willing to pay a penny, they insisted that Qin Shuang and his wife rebuild their house into a temple so that they could make money , the spine must not be poked to death!How can they have the face to go out in the future!
"Besides, after careful calculation, the money is not a lot. There are more than 50 households in our village. If each household contributes a little, it is estimated that at most two or three hundred yuan can be paid, right? It's not that each family pays one or twenty taels. I think the money we earn from those who come to pray these days is almost enough, and when the temple is really rebuilt, there will be more people who come to pray, won’t we be able to double the money.”

No matter how much truth is said, it is not as convincing as putting the actual interests in front of them. No, after someone settled the account, almost everyone was moved. At first they The reason for the conflict was that the entire renovation of such a large house would definitely cost a lot of money. I subconsciously remembered the total amount needed for the renovation, but forgot that the money would not only have to be shared with Ruyizhuang, but also the whole village. Divide it into more than 50 parts to get it!In this way, the money that the family needs to spend is really not that much!
Strictly speaking, Ruyi Village is owned by Qin Shuang and A Chen, but their family has to pay the same expenses as the sum of more than 50 households in the village, so they still suffer.It's just that Ruyi Zhuang made so much money and such a small loss, even if someone thought about it, they just pretended not to know, and said on the face: "Everyone is right, we should share the money equally, otherwise we will make money in the future." You don’t have the face to take the money, right! If you don’t want to, if people from other places come to the temple to pray for the gods and Buddha in the future, those who don’t have money should never try to earn a penny from these pilgrims !"

"That's right, that's the reason! We can't pick and search just because we want to get a few hundred pennies in front of us. We have to take a longer view. Those merchants who open their doors to do business first have to invest in costs to start a little bit. Get back the money, and then make a profit slowly, Zhenxiang is too unrealistic to wait for the pie to fall from the sky."

"That's right, the roads are so well built now, and it's easy to come and go. Isn't there a lot of people in the village who diligently go to the town to earn a little money to subsidize their families during the slack season? The conditions of each household are better than before. There is basically nothing wrong with taking a few hundred coins, and it is not to hurt your muscles and bones, so there is nothing to push back, and when the temple is repaired, you can earn it back several times in the future."

"That's to say! If the temple's incense is prosperous enough, maybe we can earn four to five hundred taels a month in the future, and we can guarantee that we won't earn five taels of silver in a year! Add in the money we get from farming and selling grain. , within two or three years, our village will become rich!"
