be a next time..."Seeing her cry so pitifully, with dark circles under her eyes, Old Li softened. She cautiously said,"Madam, I see that Li's wife takes care of the young miss with great care. I heard...The village head glanced at Old Li for a moment. They had exchanged a few words earlier, so he knew what she was thinking. He then stepped forward and said to Zhou Da... 。"Master Zhou, please rest assured, our village will definitely be able to come up with this silver. " 。We're just new here, so we don't know where to find good craftsmen or buy wood and stone. We would appreciate any advice you could give us. 。“Indeed. After some thought, Zhou Da Ren said, 'To select talents without regard to kinship, I have a suitable candidate in mind—my brother-in-law.” 。He was a scholar, but he liked these odd jobs from a young age. He was often scolded by his family, but he never changed. 。As I get older, my family has also given up. 。He is usually on the move outside, making many friends among craftsmen, and he's also familiar with buying things. 。"If everyone trusts him, I'll have him come tomorrow"

"Good, we naturally trust someone recommended by Master Zhou."

The village head readily agreed, which also pleased Zhou greatly. 。His brother-in-law, there's nothing wrong with him, he's just too eccentric. If he comes to endure hardship and hard work for a month, maybe he can curb his strange temper. 。That settled it. Mr. Zhou had other matters to attend to, and under the setting sun, he returned to Xin Du with Mr. Tongwen. 。Everyone was busy preparing dinner, but their minds were all preoccupied with the source of the 120 taels. 。After the meal, the village head, Zhao Shu, Li Lao Tai, along with her three sons, and Liu Biao Tou, gathered together and held a small meeting. 。Jia Yin was young, nestled in her grandmother's arms, quietly gnawing on the Spring Festival cake, secretly listening to the commotion. 。This nian gao was still bought by Madam Cui, eating it has a bit of that green bean cake flavor from later generations, the texture is quite dry, but it's suitable for her to nibble on a little bit like this. 。The village head spoke first, asking Madam Li, "Big Sister, you mentioned earlier that Young Master Ye was going to help the village" Madam Li nodded, then said, "I was just casually mentioning the construction of the valley, and the money wasn't enough. Young Master Ye said he had money and wanted to lend our family a few hundred taels..." 。But I didn't agree. Firstly, Young Master Ye doesn't earn money easily, fighting the barbarians every day, it's really like risking his life. 。Secondly, we are like a big piece of fat here, who knows how many people will covet us in the future. 。“I just discussed it with Young Master Ye. These few hundred taels can be considered his investment in the village. In the future, when we make money, we will give him a share, and this place will also be his property. This way, we can scare away outsiders.” 。"The village head knocked on his pipe and agreed heartily, “You’re right, girl. Young Master Ye has already done so much for our village, it wouldn’t be good to burden him further without any repayment." 。Uncle Zhao lost a lot of weight because he was injured and didn't have good food or living conditions, but his spirits were still high. 。At this moment, he also said, "Yes, Young Master Ye originally came to be acquainted with your family. In fact, we only care about your family's well-being. But on the dock, he saved everyone's lives and sent food and even visited us. If we take his money for nothing again, it would be too shameless." 。"Old Li listened happily and said again, “Young Master Ye finally agreed to what I said and promised to put our Broken Gold Beach under his name." 。Although it has reached the ears of Heaven, there are people who want to scheme against us. The Emperor will not take our small village seriously and act against those powerful families just for us. 。On the other hand, Young Master Ye has military power and a noble status. It’s unlikely anyone would dare to provoke him. 。"Young Master Ye is truly a good person, a great benefactor. We are truly incapable of repaying his kindness." 。"Yeah, everyone saw it today. After the valley is built, it's really beautiful. I'm afraid people will be envious when the time comes." 。Young Master Ye is a military marquis. If it were his property, no one would dare to touch it. 。Everyone was happy. Having set the general direction, they began to discuss how to distribute the bonuses. 。Then Old Li added, "Young Master Ye said that these two hills, valleys, and riverbanks were all allotted to our village by the imperial court." 。He only hung one name, staked some silver, and didn't want to share the winnings like the villagers. 。From now on, we will take a portion from his share to use for the village. 。"The village head listened anxiously, "Young Master Ye is too polite. Without him saving us, where would our mountain be" 。"In my opinion, it would be better to give Ye Gongzi a share of the bonus as well." 。People chattered and discussed, spending more than half an hour deliberating. By the time they finally managed to gather everyone together to speak, nightfall had arrived. 。In the valleys, campfires flickered, illuminating the faces of villagers filled with anticipation. 。The village head took a deep breath and said, "Don't worry everyone, Young Master Ye will build the valley with us." 。"Work as usual tomorrow!" "Really That's great, Young Master Ye really saved us!" "Young Master Ye is a great benefactor to our village, we must thank him well in the future!" When all hope seemed lost, suddenly there was a turn for the better! 。The villagers, as if pulled from hell and into heaven, burst into cheers. 。The village head waved his hand to silence the crowd, and then said 。"Young Master Ye, why are you helping us so much Was it because the Second Brother and his family helped you when you were in trouble" 。Now that Young Master Ye is willing to lend them money, it's also a return for the favor they did for his family. 。"We're all just riding on reflected glory!"

He waved his remaining arm, a pipe in his grasp, "As the old saying goes, 'Blood is thicker than water.' We pulled each other along, escaping to this place together. Like family, we don't want money disputes to ruin our bond..." 。So, since the geese haven't returned, we also need to say whether it's steamed or boiled, and how many pieces of meat each household gets. 。"The village head is right, it's only fair. " 。"Yes, we shouldn't let silver ruin our friendship." 。The villagers spoke up one after another, recalling their struggle for survival in the mountains and the despair they felt by the docks. Everyone cherished their current peace and security, and the good days that lay ahead. 。The village head listened with great satisfaction and then announced the outcome of their discussions. 。"Here's how we've come up with it, everyone listenked that they didn't know what to say.Mrs. Cui embraced Jia Yin and softly asked Old Mrs. Li, "Who is Wu Gouzi's daughter-in-law"Li Lao sighed, "We went into the mountains because we didn't have silve...
