Three points are destined, seven points depend on face

Xia Chuntao talked about it with the heart in her heart. This road leading to the county seat is impossible to walk when encountering rain, snow and strong winds. It's okay in summer, but in winter, it takes an hour to walk to the county seat, which is really inconvenient.

However, it would be unkind to use someone else's reward money to build roads for the whole village, right?

The head of the village wanted to persuade her again, but Xia Chuntao continued: "I really want to do something for the village. Without the support of the villagers, our orphans and widows might have been sold by Chen Jinhua. Besides, the road has been repaired. , I also benefited!”

Everyone present was moved by Xia Chuntao's words.

Look, although she is a widow, she is repaying her kindness and being selfless. Such noble character is really rare!

The county magistrate took a look at Xia Chuntao. This village woman had quite an idea!

Do you still know that roads need to be built? Women who have an overall view of the situation are really rare. If they are a man, it is not a problem to make contributions. Even if it is not possible, it is also good to be a master.

Pity!

"This is a good thing that benefits the country and the people. I will take out another eighty taels from the treasury, a total of two hundred taels, and leave it to Zhang Lichang to arrange it! At that time, I will find a few people who can build roads. The craftsmen give it to you.”

The village chiefs were very excited. They didn't expect the county magistrate to support the village's road construction so much. I had never seen the county magistrate before and always felt that he was out of reach. Now seeing such an approachable and generous county magistrate completely subverts previous perceptions.

Your Majesty is really a good official who serves the country and the people!

Everyone kowtowed to the county magistrate one after another, and the mayor even shed tears of excitement.

Xia Chuntao looked at Mr. Wang Zhihe, who looked exactly like his younger brother, and nodded happily. For the sake of Lao Wang being so kind, let's give him some political achievements.

"When the road is built, we will set up a monument of merit for my grandfather. This road can be built, and my grandfather is indispensable."

Everyone agreed, and Mr. Wang felt very pleased when he heard the compliments from the people at the bottom.

Wang Zhihe's family is a famous one. To be honest, he is not short of money, but what he lacks is political achievements and the recognition of the people.

I have to say that flattering is also a technical job.

When it comes to which company is better at flattering, Daxi Village Xia Chuntao is definitely the number one.

Everyone discussed excitedly all the way back. It was finally decided to build the road immediately after the autumn harvest.

It’s not enough to ask outsiders to do the repairs with this amount of money. But there are so many strong laborers in my village, and they are all idle at home after the autumn harvest. They can start it by themselves. In addition, with the guidance of craftsmen hired by the county magistrate, the money can be used wisely, so there is no problem!

Back in the village, the village chief called all the villagers to gather in the grain drying field. The county magistrate rewarded Xia Chuntao, and Xia Chuntao gave the reward to the whole village. He explained it in detail, with Li Shugen and Shuanzi's father nodding wildly.

Chief: "The county rewarded the whistleblower with one hundred taels this time, and the master himself added another twenty taels. This money should have belonged to Chuntao."

Aunt Ye, the daughter-in-law of the village: "No! If Chuntao hadn't given us this warning, our village would have been in catastrophe!"

In fact, when this matter was announced in the county, the villagers thought of it. But there is a difference between thinking about it and actually hearing it.

That’s one hundred and twenty taels! Most people can't earn so much in their lifetime. Xia Chuntao can get so much just by talking. Who feels comfortable?

Although Xia Chuntao helped the village survive the disaster, everyone did not feel it directly! But the one hundred and twenty taels were real. The villagers remained silent, feeling somewhat uncomfortable.

The director added: "However, Chuntao didn't ask for the money."

Aunt Ye: "If I gave you this money, who wouldn't want it?"

Everyone was in an uproar. Many people looked at Xia Chuntao as if they were looking at an idiot.

"What inspired this talented lady? She doesn't want so much money?"

"That's right, why don't you do it openly?"

The idiot Xia Chuntao faced the looks of fools from everyone, and her toes seemed to dig out a chasm in the sky.

The head of the village: "The talented lady insisted on not taking any money, and used it all to build roads in our village."

Aunt Ye: "Take all what you deserve to build roads in our village. Which one of you can do it?"

The villagers were stunned, and for a while the entire grain drying field was silent.

What kind of twist is this?

I thought Xia Chuntao would take the money proudly, but I didn't expect that she didn't take any money; I thought she was a fool, but I didn't expect that she is a noble and upright gentleman!

Everyone's eyes immediately changed from looking at idiots to looking at gods, the kind of gods who don't eat fireworks from the world.

The head of the village: "You scholar lady is so righteous! From now on, whoever dares to bully Chuntao and her son will have trouble with me and Daxi Village!"

Aunt Ye: "Yes! Although Chen Xiucai is gone, there are uncles and aunts like us, who dares to bully Chuntao and her son!"

Everyone agreed: "Chun Tao gave money to build roads in the village, how can we be ungrateful?"

Xia Chuntao was satisfied with a little prestige and protection from the village in exchange for one hundred and twenty taels of silver.

The head of the village: "Originally I only had one hundred and twenty taels. I was still thinking that it would be difficult to build the road with this money. I guess I would have to raise more money."

Aunt Ye: "As a result, guess what?"

Everyone: What's going on?

Head: "At this stall, I took out another eighty taels from my pocket, making a total of two hundred taels!"

Aunt Ye said and gestured: "Two hundred taels!"

Everyone took a breath for a while. No one in the village was rich, and no one had ever seen so much money.

Chief: "My grandpa is really a master of the sky! We have to build a merit monument for our grandpa. Do you think we should do it?"

Aunt Ye: "Should I?"

Everyone was excited and shouted: "It should! It should!"

Xia Chuntao looked at the eloquent Li Chang, Aunt Ye who was echoing beside him, and at the vast crowd of people who were listening with great interest...

You two are really disrespecting your talents if you don’t talk about cross talk!

At the end of the day, Xia Chuntao herself had the illusion: I am the Guanyin Bodhisattva who saves suffering!

"Chuntao, if it weren't for you this time, our village would have suffered a big disaster!"

"Alai Niang, if you have any hard work in the future, just come to me! My family is so strong!"

"Chuntao, you are the great lucky star of our village!"

……

Alai and Niuniu were so happy that their faces turned red when they heard everyone's praise for their mother.

Mom is amazing! My mother saved the whole village. My mother helped build roads in the village. My mother is a lucky star!

Xia Chuntao's friends are even more concerned about Rong.

Then, the painting style gradually became weird...

"Chuntao, how did you guess that Chen Laoer was going to bring bandits to rob our village?"

"Chuntao, did you calculate it in advance?"

blah blah blah...

"That... is just a coincidence." Xia Chuntao was also speechless!

So he quickly changed the topic, "Road construction is a top priority. Once the roads are built, it will be more convenient for us to travel to the county and other villages and towns in the future. And we don't have to worry about being hit by falling rocks from the mountains. Safety first!"

At this moment, a villager ran from a distance and shouted: "No! Some big rocks fell down from the road by the mountain and injured a passing salesman!"

All the villagers looked at Xia Chuntao → →

O prophet!

Xia Chuntao:......

I really want to seal my mouth with tape!

In the past, some villagers felt that there was no need to build roads, and nothing happened, so why not share the money equally with everyone! Now that the result is here, no one dares to oppose it, risking their lives?

Therefore, everyone unanimously agreed to build the road.

So, starting from this day, rumors leaked out:

do you know? Xia Chuntao is a boy under the seat of Guanyin Bodhisattva. She comes to save the Bodhisattva from suffering...

do you know? Xia Chuntao is the sitting boy of Taishang Laojun, who will warn the people of danger...

Xia Chuntao:......

I would like to ask: Am I the Red Boy or the Golden Horned King?
