After he and his mother-in-law separated, he built a house and stocked a warehouse full of grain and

This batch of knives does not have water clearing, but it is good if it does, so who would choose?

The men were ecstatic and almost couldn't help cheering. Then they thought about why Fan Xiaoliu and Wu Gouchen didn't disclose the money along the way and even made them think that all the money was spent?

Why didn't Hong Mancang reveal his sword and only made them think they were washed away by the river?

This is definitely not to guard against them, but it is clear who they are guarding against!

They just think it's better to be on guard. Anyway, if you give money and swords to a family like that, it would be more disgusting than letting them eat flies!

The men who figured this out suppressed their cheers, with excitement on their faces.

The old village chief distributed the fourteen swords one by one. Now, except for those two families, basically every household in the village has two swords, and a few families have three!

After each person was given one tael of silver, there were still twelve taels of silver left. However, Fan Jinding and Li Hu Wenhua did not ask for their respective shares. The three taels of silver were returned to the remaining silver, so now the village's total silver deposit is fifteen taels!

It was a full fifteen taels of silver. The old village chief felt that this amount of money was too much to touch.

He was a little uneasy, afraid that he would not do well. As soon as he looked at Fan Jin, the latter said respectfully: "Old village chief, you are the most suitable candidate."

The old village chief is highly respected in the village. This is the foundation laid by his decades of life, and no one else can compare with him.

His three sons are honest and honest, warm-hearted and never play tricks. They are very concerned about the people and things in the village. Their family background is strong and they will not be interested in these more than ten taels of silver.

The three daughters-in-law are diligent and capable, especially sister-in-law Guifen, who was born and raised in Shanshui Village. She knows everything about people and things, and will be the most powerful person to organize banquets in the future.

The most important thing is that he can feel that the old village chief is very optimistic about Shui Qing now and wishes Shui Qing to take over his work and lead the village to a better place, but he also has selfish motives, which means he doesn't want Shui Qing to do things that are too tiring and trivial. Yes.

Shui Qing is suitable for doing big things and doing things with visible results, such as leading the villagers to earn money. However, hard and tedious things like holding village banquets are not suitable for Shui Qing.

The old village chief said tentatively: "Your wife Hu Shuiqing"

The men originally thought that there was nothing more reassuring than the old village chief who kept the money, but when they heard the old village chief mention Shui Qing's name, they suddenly realized that they were just as relieved if she kept it!

Since when did Hu Shuiqing become the same existence as the old village chief to them?

There is even a hint of substitution and surpassing!

Fan Jin's eyes were gentle, but his words were troubled: "There are many things in the herbal medicine shop and she is needed for everything. The children are still young and can't do without her. I'm afraid I don't have any extra energy. If it's not done well, wouldn't it be a waste?" Money?

It would be best for you, the old village chief, to come forward. It is convenient for Brother Li and the three of them to convene people to discuss. Sister-in-law Guifen is quick at work, so the preparation of the banquet will be fast and good. "

When the men heard the old village chief mention Shui Qing, they felt that Shui Qing was the most suitable candidate;

But after hearing Fan Jin's unhurried words, he felt that the old village chief's family was the most suitable.

Thoughts kept changing, they felt like a piece of grass on the wall, swaying in the wind~

What the old village chief thought was that the herbal medicine shop was the foundation of the village's destiny, and there could be no risks. Naturally, Hu Shuiqing could not be distracted, so he nodded to accept the money and follow-up matters.

After dividing the silver and knives, and discussing the whereabouts of the remaining silver, the men were satisfied and prepared to leave and go home.

"Wait a minute, old village chief, I have an idea." Hu Wenhua said suddenly.

The man in the yard stopped and looked at Hu Wenhua curiously.

"Old village chief, we encountered bandits when we came back. Although the machete and our unity contributed, the lime was also of great use, so I was wondering if the lime we bought this time could not be used to plaster the wall?

But store it just in case? "Hu Wenhua explained calmly.

Before he finished speaking, everyone present immediately started discussing, and the conclusion was overwhelmingly in agreement!

In fact, it is agreed without discussion. Not only the men in distress agree, the old village chief agrees, but even the old men, women and children in the village agree.

After all, not everyone has a big sword, even if everyone has one. If the sword is not in the hands of a powerful person, if it is taken away, the danger will be even greater!

And if there are many gangsters attacking the village, the wall can stop them, but the knife cannot cause damage, then lime can come in handy!

Put a bag in their pockets, and it will hurt your eyes to see how they can do evil and seek other people's property!

"Wen Hua is right, don't mop the wall yet. When the flood is over and the environment is stable, we can mop the wall. It won't be damaged anyway."

"The lime is stored in the front bookstore. If you really know how to use it, it will be convenient to use it there."

"By the way, old village chief, you don't know, right? Many wealthy households in the city have been robbed!"

"I don't know when the impact of this flood will be over. The weather is getting colder and there are obviously less things to eat in the wild. It won't be a problem if it continues like this."

The topic changed from worrying about the safety of the village to worrying about the victims outside. The scene lost the previous joy and the atmosphere was depressing.

The old village chief looked at the injured men, sighed and advised: "We are humble people. It is not easy to take care of yourself, your wife, children and children in this world."

Sighs came and went, and finally dispersed helplessly.

As soon as Hu Wenhua came home, Hu's mother couldn't stop crying after knowing that he was injured.

Butcher Hu wanted to pick up a butcher's knife and kill the gangsters one by one. When he heard that the government officials had arrested the people, and that the gangsters were going to be charged with crimes that did not belong to them, he asked in a hurry: " Wouldn’t it be okay for those evildoers who were blamed for their evil deeds?”

He is not kind-hearted. He is very happy that these gangsters can't get out. He is just letting them carry other crimes that do not belong to them. Then won't the people who really committed these evil things get away with it? Can they continue to kill people and set fires outside? ?

"Hey, there's nothing we can do about it. We don't have the power and ability to question what those officials want to do." Ding Heli replied helplessly.

Hu Wenhua looked at his mother-in-law who kept wiping her tears. He didn't know how to persuade her, so she could only state the facts: "Mom, we live comfortably in the village and feel that time flies by. But the victims of the disaster are struggling to make a living and their days are like years. They are kind-hearted. They may have died long ago, and it is normal that the remaining ones are not extremely evil;

Mom, don't feel bad. If we weren't at my sister's and brother-in-law's house, I'm afraid we would have been hurt countless times by now. "

Hu's mother also understood this truth, but it was the same thing. She still felt extremely distressed when she saw the blood soaked in the gauze tied on her son's back.

She has a pair of children who are her darlings, and she would rather hurt herself than any of them.
