Farmhouse with a little field

Chapter 321

Zhuang Ye immediately lowered his head uncomfortably.

The old village head glared at the two of them, and continued to shout: "Shut up, you all think that after such a thing happened, can this person still fall into our house?"

"But Dad, you have been the village chief in Qingyuan Village for nearly 30 years. Even if this is a replacement, everyone should listen to your opinion, right?" the second son Zhuang Ji asked anxiously.

The old village head directly replied with a cold snort. His three sons were only the youngest, which was considered a good idea. Like the first two, it was really an eyesore.

"Father, you don't really care about everything, do you? That would be too cheap for outsiders. If the village chief really changes to someone else, our family's life will definitely be difficult in the future. Don't forget Those things you did back then." Zhuang Ji didn't have any vision at all, facing his own father's stinking face, he insisted on picking which pot he didn't open.

The old village head was so angry that he slapped the table directly: "It's really presumptuous! What do you mean I did those things? If it wasn't for you, I would put my face down and do such things?"

"You're not all for the third brother, but unfortunately the third brother doesn't want to care about you at all..." Zhuang Ji muttered in a low voice, his voice was barely audible.

The old village head didn't care what Zhuang Ji said, but instead said: "Get out of here, all of you!"

Zhuang Ye has always been timid. He trembled when he heard the words, and hurriedly went out with his head down. Zhuang Ji stood there for a while, seeing that the old village chief's expression did not seem to ease, he snorted coldly, reluctantly. turned around and went out.

If possible, in fact, the old village chief really wants to spare the last old face and help his third son become the village chief of Qingyuan Village, but the third son is living a good life in the town now, so he probably won't agree to this matter .

Thinking of this, the old village chief sighed again, and his back, which had been barely straight before, suddenly collapsed.

What the old village head didn't expect was that resigning as village head was just the beginning, a tragic beginning.

The old village head was very trustworthy, and he resigned the position of village head in a short period of time without any interference with who the next village head would be. Naturally, everyone was very satisfied with his behavior.

It's just that when he resigned, everyone still asked the question about the 50 taels: "Village chief, from now on, you are no longer the village chief of our village, so everything should be settled, how about you?" Can the village chief take out the 50 taels of silver that the Han family gave you now?

That money was given by the Han family to build a school for our village. You can't take this money away. "

As soon as the 50 taels of silver was mentioned, the old village chief was so angry that he said directly, "I have never received any silver from the Han family, not even a penny!", and walked away through the crowd.

The old village chief is an elder after all, and everyone dared not stop him, so they could only pin their hopes on Li Hao.

In this regard, Li Hao was very magnanimous: "Don't worry, everyone, I think the old village head must be still angry, which is why he reacted so strongly. I think that after a while, the old village head will definitely take the initiative to transfer this sum of money." The money was taken out."

These words not only convinced those who were eager to send their children to study with Li Hao, but also quickly fulfilled the fact that the old village chief did take out the money, but he did not give it to any of them, nor did he give it to any of them. Instead of giving it to Li Hao, it was directly handed over to the government, acting as the tax and food owed by him.

As soon as the news came out, everyone in Qingyuan Village was furious. That damned former village chief actually used the money that should have been given to them to build a school, and spent it on such an infuriating thing. What a heinous crime!

Everyone couldn't sit still anymore, and this time they didn't go to Li Hao to take the lead. They organized a group and rushed to the house of the former old village head, criticizing the old village head's bad behavior one after another, and seriously demanded that the old village head take the 50 Take out the two silver coins, otherwise they will report to the official.

In fact, the former old village head had expected such a result a long time ago. As long as he really paid for tax credits, this matter would definitely be brought up by someone with a heart, but he was in such a bad situation, and there was no other way. option, unless he wants to go straight to jail.

So what should happen will still happen. The old village chief didn't stop these people from coming, but he didn't say anything either. He sat there like a statue, no matter what others said, he had nothing to say. In the end, those who rushed over angrily ran out of words first.

"Mr. Zhuang, what are you talking about? Are you really planning to use everyone's money and not pay it back?" Now the old village head has become the former old village head, so everyone changed their names accordingly.

The old village head was still the same, and didn't respond at all.

Everyone's heart was a little hopeless. Although some people in the countryside may behave a little rudely, they still have a lot of basic etiquette. The former old village head is so old, they can't just go up and beat him up. .

"Mr. Zhuang, if you don't speak again, will we really report to the authorities?" Someone was making the last effort.

At this moment, the old village chief finally reacted. He sneered and said in a hoarse voice: "You bastard, I haven't even seen the money. Do you think you can really find evidence of my borrowing money?"

Everyone immediately looked at each other in blank dismay, not thinking that Han Duyue might have never given money to the former old village head, but thinking that when she lent money to the former old village head, she didn't even issue an IOU?

That's right, Han Duyue said at the time that the money was given to the former old village head, so it's normal not to write the IOU, but at this time everyone couldn't help complaining, it would have been fine if they had written the IOU Yes, so that they can get their money back.

So what should we do now?Could it be that the 50 taels of silver were wasted?

In fact, they didn't care much about the money, but in this way, they would have no money to build a school, so how could their children go to school?

This was what annoyed everyone the most. When they thought that their clever children missed the opportunity to go to school, everyone's resentment towards the former old village head deepened.

"Mr. Zhuang, the Han family is willing to lend you money without writing an IOU. That is their trust in you. Do you really want to do such a thing of treachery and revenge?" Without evidence, it is impossible to report to the official This road is gone, so I can only try to awaken the conscience of the former old village chief morally.

It's a pity that the result can be imagined. The old village chief's heart was full of bitterness, and the expression on his face became even more miserable: "The Han family never gave me money at all, why don't you believe it? Forget it, if you don't believe it, forget it. Anyway, I have never taken money from the Han family, so it is naturally impossible to take out the money."

"Then what happened to the money you handed over to the government?" This is the most important question. If he didn't take the money from the Han family, how could the old village head get so much money?And it happens to be 50 taels of silver?
The old village chief suddenly felt bitter in his mouth and dry in his throat, because he couldn't answer this question at all. Could he say that it was all he had accumulated over the years?How did the money come from?Can he explain it?

Seeing that the former old village head didn't speak, everyone felt more certain about their own thoughts, but the former old village head didn't admit to borrowing money, so they had no choice but to threaten a few words.

Immediately after they left, they went to Li Hao's place again, wanting to seek help, but Li Hao could only do nothing about it. After all, there was no evidence, and no one could do anything about it.

Everyone was immediately depressed. Could it be that the 50 taels of silver really couldn't be taken back?

"Then... Lizheng, you promised to teach our children to read. This must be true, right?" Someone asked with the last hope.

Li Hao smiled slightly: "Of course this is true, it's just that there must be a place to study first."

The implication is that this matter must be established on the basis of having a school. Although everyone is dissatisfied with this answer, they can't refute it. After all, they can't let their children study under the scorching sun, right?

Everyone began to think again, since the Han family is so rich, would the Han family be willing to contribute another 50 taels of silver to help build a school in the village?But everyone just thought about it, after all, no one would have the face to go to the Han family to make such a request.

So everyone thought about it, and finally they turned their attention to the former old village head. When they thought of what the former old village head had done, everyone became angry again.

Some of them were daring, and even made some crooked ideas. Since the former old village head was unkind to them, there was no need for them to be righteous to the former old village head.

That night, when the night was dark and the wind was high, a dozen masked people turned in from the side of the former old village head's house, and then used the drug they bought to stun the former old village head's family.

Then they began to pick the lock and push the door, and moved out all the things that could be seen and moved, and secretly transported them back to their respective homes. It was so clean that not even the side tables and chairs were left behind.

Naturally, the dormitories of the former old village chief's family were not spared. Even the kitchen in the yard was searched, and even the iron pot was carried away.

The family of the former old village head who had been drugged did not wake up intermittently until noon the next day. Immediately afterwards, the former old village head's house began to burst into bursts of screams and wailing.

It's just that the people in the village seem to have a tacit understanding about this very huge movement that cannot be ignored by others. No one came to watch, as if the sound from the former village chief's house was just an illusion.
