Farmhouse with a little field

Chapter 316 Lost the wife and lost the army

"Hmph, even if you refuse..." The old village chief snorted coldly, and only halfway through his condemning words did he realize what Li Hao said just now, "You...what did you just say? "

Li Hao smiled lightly, and repeated: "I just said 'yes', I can teach those children to read."

You actually agreed, how could you agree so readily?There must be something tricky here!
The old village chief thought so in his heart, but when the words came to his lips, he still turned into: "It's good that you agree, so that you can be regarded as a part of our village."

"This matter is related to the interests of the whole village of Qingyuan Village. Naturally, I have to agree, but..." Li Hao looked at the old village head full of surprise and suspicion in his eyes, and said slowly, "Just as the village head , shouldn't you say something too?"

"What do you mean by that?" The old village head narrowed his eyes vigilantly, he already faintly sensed that something was wrong.

Li Hao continued to smile, without changing his tone: "I can teach those children knowledge, but there must be a place to study, so I think it is better to build a school, and this matter is really serious except for the village chief. There are no more suitable personnel."

"Why do you ask me to build the school? Since you have agreed to this matter, you should naturally build the school." The old village chief's eyes widened. He didn't expect Li Hao to propose such absurd things. Require.

Li Hao didn't care about the old village head's angry tone, and continued to say slowly: "That's not right, since this matter is a matter for the whole village, it should be done by you and me. Could it be that you are the village head? You only plan to waste your time, but you refuse to do anything substantive?

Besides, compared with the matter of giving lessons and resolving doubts, building a school is nothing more than a simple matter. If you even refuse this matter, the village chief, then I have some doubts about what you just said sincerity. "

"But it takes a lot of money to build a school. Where do I have so much money? So this is absolutely impossible!" The life of the old village head's family is actually pretty good in the village, after all, he has been the village head for so many years , although there are no big benefits, but there are many small ones, so their family also has some savings.

It's just that the savings are for himself and future generations, so how could the old village chief be willing to spend his own money to build some poor school?

"Village Chief, you really disappointed me by saying that. I never thought that you would even find an excuse to refuse such a trivial matter. If that's the case, then I have no choice but to let this matter go." Li Hao shrugged helplessly. He sighed deeply, as if he was really disappointed with the old village chief.

The old village chief choked. Why did he feel like he dug a trap and jumped into it?

"You can't say that. After all, you have to do everything according to your ability. Although I want to do things for the villagers, my family's savings are really not enough." The old village head shook his eyebrows and retorted somewhat reluctantly, "Instead It's you, since you can even raise Shuxiu's 20 taels of silver per month, you must have a lot of money in your hands, why don't you pay for the construction of the school, so that the villagers will remember your kindness of."

"The village chief's words are wrong. The reason why I made that request before was actually to hone the will of those who seek to learn, so how could I really want so many Shuxiu?

And although I said that the quality of the three meals a day has improved a lot, they are all prepared by the Han family, so what does it have to do with me?Could it be that the village chief still wants me to go to the Han family to borrow money with the cheek? " Li Hao explained helplessly, without giving the old village chief any time to react, he continued, "I think it's better for you, village chief, to go back and think about it carefully. I still have to continue teaching Xiaonian, so I won't keep you any longer. "

The old village head originally wanted to answer the conversation, and suggested that Li Hao go directly to the Han family to borrow money, but after Li Hao finished speaking, he walked away. The old village head had no choice but to give up temporarily, but his In his heart, he had already begun to think about how to get the Han family to pay the money.

Well, it's best for the Han family to pay the money, and then take the credit for themselves.

Who knows, before the old village head came up with an idea to get the best of both worlds, their house welcomed a group of guests the next day. Almost all of these people came to the old village head for help last time. The only difference is that , these people seem to be very happy this time?

If the old village head read it right, the mood of these people seemed to be quite high, as if they had encountered some happy event.

The old village head thought for a while, as if he had already convinced Li Hao, but he hadn't told these people, right?Could it be that another good thing happened?
As soon as those people entered the door, before the old village chief could speak, they started chattering one after another.

"Village chief, this matter is really thanks to you, otherwise Li Zheng would definitely not be able to agree to this matter, and even if he agreed, the children would have no place to study."

"To be honest, I really didn't expect you, the village chief, to be so generous. Now I am really convinced. You are indeed our old village chief, and you have done this for us."

"Isn't there a saying that's a great kindness without words of thanks? I have written down this kindness. In the future, if the village chief has any orders, please tell me as soon as possible. Even if I risk my life, I must help the village chief!"

"Not only did you convince Li Zheng, but you are also willing to pay so much money to build a school for us. I don't even know how to thank you."

"That's right, that's a whole 50 taels of silver, and it will surely build a very good school."

The old village head listened for a long time, and then he barely drew some conclusions from these messy words, but when did he say that he would pay for the construction of the school?And... still 50 taels of silver?

"Wait...wait a minute..." The old village chief's forehead began to sweat, he opened his mouth with difficulty, and then unexpectedly found that his voice was inexplicably hoarse.

Only then did everyone stop, and they all looked at the old village chief with gratitude.

The old village head originally wanted to say that although he had persuaded Li Hao, he had never said that he would pay for the construction of the school, let alone spend as much as 50 taels of silver, but under the unified eyes of these people, the old For a while, the village chief felt that his voice was so hoarse that he couldn't speak at all.

Perhaps good face is really a common problem of almost all old people in this world, especially in front of the younger generation, this face is even more important, and the old village head is obviously in this ranks.

So there are some things that he really can't say...

Then he suddenly realized a problem, maybe this is a trap at all, no, this is definitely a trap set by Li Hao and the Han family together!

The reason is that I have to take out the 50 taels of silver, but I can only swallow it in my stomach when I feel bitter. This is simply too vicious!

The face of the old village chief changed again and again, it was so exciting, but those who looked at him were a little frightened, and couldn't help asking: "Village chief, are you okay? Why is your face so pale?" Bad?"

The old village head came back to his senses, turned his thoughts around, and secretly made a decision, since you want to harm me, then don't blame me for being rude to you.

He calmed down, forced a smile and said: "It's nothing, I just feel too ashamed. The money is actually not mine, but the Han family took it out on their own initiative."

Although the old village head wanted to let the Han family suffer, he couldn't say it after paying the money, but now that the situation has come, he can't care so much anymore.

It's just that the old village head's IQ has dropped because of the excitement at this time. He thought that he could force the Han family to spend so much money, but he didn't know that he was digging a hole for himself.

The old village head who had dug a hole for himself hadn't realized this yet, and after he said this, he breathed a sigh of relief.

After hearing this, everyone showed surprised expressions, and then their impression of the Han family changed a lot. They didn't expect that the 50 taels of silver were actually given by the Han family. It is indeed the Han family. So generous!

So the gratitude that belonged to the old village chief in everyone's heart was slowly transferred to the Han family, and everyone's praise for the old village chief came to an end. After asking the matter clearly, they left one after another.

Within half a day, rumors spread that the 50 taels of silver were not from the old village head, but from the Han family to the old village head.

Some even praised the low-key and selflessness of the Han family. After giving out so much money, they didn't even intend to tell the matter at the beginning. If the old village chief hadn't been honest and told the matter later, it is estimated that They don't know yet.

After hearing these rumors, the old village head began to wait with peace of mind. He thought that the Han family would take the initiative to send him the money, but until the first day of June, when the Han family held the running water banquet, there was no movement from the Han family. , the old village chief finally got anxious.

It was also at this time that she finally realized a problem. The rumors outside have always been that "the Han family gave the village chief 50 taels of silver." The word "give" does not mean that it has already been given!

In other words, although the Han family has never given him any money at all, people outside think that the money is in their arms!
This cognition was simply a bolt from the blue, which blasted the old village chief to death, and his face turned black. He had been tricked from the very beginning, and he had followed this trap all the time. Going to the innermost part, this is simply a heinous crime!

No, I can't let the Han family fall so cheaply that I have to pay for it, and also make the Han family famous. The old village chief clenched his fist, got up and walked out, he wanted to kill the Han family!
