Walking into a cesspit, the best evil widow wants to stand up

Chapter 597 Villagers raise funds to build an inn

When they arrived at the scene, everyone found that in addition to the village chief, even Dachun Niang was there, and everyone was talking about it.

"Hey~ Do you know what's going on today?"

"Who knows? The village chief was so mysterious and didn't say anything specific. He just asked us to come over. I'm still busy working in the fields!"

"..."

Everyone was talking at the same time, and the conversation was very intense.

The village chief looked around at everyone and saw that almost everyone was there. He stretched out his hand and made a quiet gesture: "Everyone, be quiet~ Be quiet~, Dachun Niang has a way for everyone to make money without working."

Hearing that they could make money, everyone immediately quieted down and pricked up their ears to listen to the village chief's words.

Seeing that everyone had finally quieted down, the village chief told them everything that had happened.

There is a piece of public land near the end of the village, which belongs to everyone. Shen Ping plans to use that land to build an inn to facilitate foreign merchants who will come to his workshop to purchase goods in the future.

At first, Shen Ping wanted to pay the full amount herself, but now she has changed her mind. In order to make everyone feel involved, everyone should raise funds to build the inn, and she will pay the remaining amount.

At that time, the money earned in a year will be calculated as dividends according to the proportion of everyone's investment.

Everyone was unwilling when they heard this. They thought that what the village chief said about making money was a good thing, but they didn't expect that they had to invest the money before they even made any money.

"I don't agree!"

Liao was the first to object: "There may not be business by then, and we still have to pay money out first. Who knows when we can get our money back!"

When Liao said this, many people echoed him.

"That's right, I stand on Mrs. Liao's side this time!"

Nearly half of the people present stood on the Liao family's side. Shen Ping was not surprised by this. She knew that it would be difficult to get the villagers to invest first.

Seeing that everyone had different opinions and was arguing, Shen Ping slowly said, "Listen to me, everyone. That piece of public land is just lying there. I could have bought it and built an inn myself.

But I thought that since the land belongs to everyone, why not everyone contribute money to build it? After it is built, we don’t have to do anything else and just wait for customers to come. This way, everyone can make money in the future.

As for how to distribute the dividends, it depends on how much everyone contributes to build the inn. I want to give everyone a chance to make money. I believe everyone has some cash on hand. It doesn’t matter how much you contribute. If the remaining amount is not enough, I will pay it.”

Shen Ping's words calmed everyone down again. There was no rule about how much money to pay, which meant that if you want to earn more, you have to pay more. "

"I agree!"

Mother-in-law Li raised her hand. She had just told the old man that no matter what, he must support the second son's wife, and he would not push them into the fire pit. Besides, this was mostly voluntary.

"I agree too~" Zhuzi's mother also raised her hand.

"Hey, old lady~" Uncle Zhuzi was anxious. He hadn't agreed yet, so why did the old lady raise her hand?

Zhuzi's mother glared at her husband and said, "Old man, believe me, it won't be wrong to follow Dachun. Dachun has given us a chance to make money by following her, so we shouldn't refuse it!"

Now that things have come to this, Uncle Zhuzi didn't say anything else.

"I agree too!" Butcher Zhang and his wife shouted loudly!

"I agree too!" Carpenter Li shouted loudly.

"Since so many people agree, I, an old woman, will agree too!" He Yao's mother, Liu, also agreed.

After going through so many things, she finally understood that Dachunniang had her reasons for making money.

Besides, she was quite good to her own He Yao. She earned him a salary and also gave him time to read books, so he could study and earn money at the same time.

He Yao often said to her: "Mom, Dachunniang is a good person. If it weren't for her, I would probably still be a nerd, unwilling to work and only know how to study.

I am where I am today, thanks to Dachun Niang. People should know how to be grateful, mother, don’t you agree? "

"..."

More and more people joined the team and agreed to invest.

Finally, only five or six families remained silent, including Liao and Huang Jinhua's sister-in-law Li. The village chief patiently asked, "Do you two agree? Don't be jealous of others making money."

Liao hesitated again, she was afraid that her son and daughter-in-law would blame her. Now, for some reason, Gao, the daughter-in-law, was no longer afraid of her and opposed her in every way.

The key point is that when I face her, I actually feel a little guilty and not as tough as before. I guess I'm really old.

She remembered what Widow Wu had said to her: "Mrs. Liao, you have to take care of your mother-in-law for ten years and your daughter-in-law for ten years. You only have one daughter-in-law like Gao, and you have to rely on her in the future.

When you are paralyzed in bed, you will still have to rely on her to bring you food. If you don’t treat her well now, she will starve you to death in the future!”

At this moment, a voice rang out: "Village Chief, don't listen to what my mother says, we agree!"

It turned out that Gao knew about this. She knew that her mother-in-law would definitely not agree, so she quickly told Zhang Tiezhu and ran away.

Finally, only Huang Jinhua's sister-in-law Li was left. Seeing that everyone agreed, even Mrs. Liao did not stand firm, fearing that everyone would really make money. Li gritted her teeth and said, "Agree, but I don't have much money!"

Seeing that everyone agreed, the village chief took out a notebook and started to keep accounts, writing down how much money each family contributed.

The ones who contributed the most were Shen Ping's mother-in-law, Mrs. Li, and the village chief. They each gave one or two taels of silver. The others contributed a few hundred coins, and the least was 200 coins.

In the end, the total amount of money contributed by the villagers was 15 taels of silver.

Looking at the accounts written in the account book, the village chief handed it to Shen Ping for review. Shen Ping took a look and finally closed the book and handed it to the village chief.

Shen Ping stood up and said, "Everyone, listen to me. I will hand over this matter to the village chief. Every expense will be recorded in the account. After the business opens, every income will also be recorded. It will be announced to everyone at that time, and the dividends will be calculated at the end of each year."

After hearing what Shen Ping said, everyone felt relieved. The account book was in the hands of the village chief, and they trusted the village chief.

Since everyone agreed, we chose a date and officially started construction. Every household provided one worker, and of course, Shen Ping's family was no exception. It was all free of charge.

Shen Ping thought it over. There were still a lot of stones left from the previous blasting and they could not be wasted. They could all be pulled out and used.

Under the arrangement of the village chief, some people pulled stones, those who knew how to do masonry laid bricks, and a few women were selected to cook. As for the ingredients, everyone contributed together, with Shen Ping paying the lion's share.

Shen Ping thought that she could do it all, but she didn't want to do that. She had done so much, but instead of getting any gratitude from the villagers, they would take it for granted.

Personal favors are personal favors, but the amounts must be clear. After all, this is a fund-raising exercise, so every account should be calculated clearly.
