A man travels through time and becomes a widow, only wanting to pursue a career

Chen Lizheng narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhao Lizheng, and said slowly, "Brother Zhao, please tell me whether you should pay the money or not."

Zhao Lizheng felt the pressure and swallowed unconsciously, wanting to open his mouth to say something.

Zhao Honghua shouted loudly, "Dad, we can't give it. I agreed to leave the money to my daughter as a dowry. I can use it to marry a good husband."

If you have money around you, you will also have status in your husband's family.

"Zhao Honghua, I think your scar has healed and you have forgotten the pain. Believe it or not, I will let you taste pain again?" Chen Changsheng sneered.

Since the other party didn't keep his word first, she didn't mind dislocating the other party again.

"Who are you trying to scare..." Zhao Honghua was quick to talk, but she shrank her head.

"You think I'm scaring you?"

Zhao Lizheng pondered for a while and then said, "We will give you the money. Chen Lizheng, please arrange for someone to come to our village to collect it."

Just now, Xiao Hua'er's waste of food has aroused dissatisfaction among the people in his village. If he cheats again now, his reputation in the village will really be lost.

He had to deal with what was in front of him first. He wouldn't let Chen Laigen take away the twenty-eight taels of silver easily.

With a huge amount of money, if you meet one or two bad guys on the road...

Chen Lizheng selected five strong men and asked these people to go with the people from Zhaojia Village to get the money.

Before leaving, he carefully warned him not to talk or linger too much with the people in their village when he got the money in Zhaojia Village and then rushed back.

"Brother Zhao, I believe you are a man of your word. Since you promised to give money, I will trouble you one more thing, brother. Please also send the five people from my Chenjia Village safely to the junction of the two villages."

His meaning was obvious. If these five men took the money and caused trouble on the boundary of Zhaojiacun, it would be Zhao Lizheng's fault.

Zhao Lizheng gritted his molar teeth and said bitterly, "Okay, I promise to deliver your people safely to the entrance of Zhaojiacun."

[This old and cunning Chen Laigen actually defended himself. Motherfucker shit. 】

Five strong men followed a dozen people from Zhaojia Village and left.

The child who ran back to report the news to Chen Lizheng threw himself into his mother's arms in fear, sobbing softly, "Mom, are you okay... The black bear spirit didn't hit you? It's all my fault, I can't. Protective mother..."

The aunt hugged her child and comforted her, "Mom is fine. Fortunately, Sister-in-law Chen and Sister-in-law Chen are here. Fortunately, Hutou, you had the wit to call Uncle Li Zheng."

"I met Sister-in-law Chen and the others on the road. They asked me to go back and call Mr. Li Zheng, otherwise my mother would be bullied by the black bear spirit."

The mother and son collected their things and followed the large army down the mountain.

Hu Tou held his mother's hand and asked as they walked, "Master Li Zheng, will those people from Zhaojia Village come again?"

"This period of time should never come again." Chen Lizheng said in a deep voice.

"Uncle Li Zheng, I heard they said they would come to our village at night to steal things. If it's true, what should we do?"

If the ten kilograms of brown rice and dozens of copper coins that the family managed to save were stolen, they would not have to live anymore.

"If those bitches dare to come, I'll beat them to death!" A man said with clenched fists.

"Yes, I'll hit each one when I see him. When I go back today, I will tell my second and third brothers to be more alert when they go to bed at night." Another man also looked angry.

Chen Lizheng touched Hutou's little head and said to several people, "The people from Zhaojia Village will not come to steal our things. Our village will soon set up a patrol team to protect the safety of the entire village, men, women, and children."

He glanced at the large fields on the side of the road. At present, the villagers were busy in the fields. The sparkling mountain spring water flowed into the fields from the ditch. Such a beautiful scenery, and the days of slowly getting better, must not be overwhelming. destroy.

"Patrol team? This is a great idea. I'll be the first to join!"

"I will also join. Anyone who dares to come to our village will be beaten until his teeth are everywhere."

"Hutou also wants to participate. I want to protect my mother." Hutou stretched out his small fist as if to hit her.

"Hutou, you are still too young. You can wait until you are a few years older to participate." Li Zheng continued with a smile, "I will go back to the village later. You guys who are quick on your feet will inform every household after dinner. Let’s seize the time before dark to hold a meeting and finalize the list of patrol team members.”

Except for Chen Changsheng, several other strong men and aunts, including Mrs. Liu, went to various houses to inform the news.

The two walked side by side, and the villagers passing by smiled and greeted them, "Uncle Lizheng and Mrs. Dafu are discussing things again."

From digging canals in the village, making keel waterwheels, to building vegetables and brick kilns, the villagers of Chenjia Village have become accustomed to Li Zheng and Chen Changsheng discussing things.

"Uncle Li Zheng, the twenty-eight taels of silver from Zhaojiacun should be given to us." Chen Changsheng asked worriedly.

"It shouldn't be a big problem. The one named Zhao has the best reputation. Even if he has some crooked ideas, I don't think he dares to openly attack our people on his own territory. Don't worry, I'll tell you later. Just arrange for a few men to meet you at the boundary and escort your money back to Shiquan."

Chen Changsheng smiled and shook his head, "How can you say it's my money?"

"If it's not yours, Dafu Niang, who else could it be? I picked it from the mountains and sold it to you. And if you hadn't discovered it first, we wouldn't have known it was edible."

"Uncle Li Zheng, I thought it would be better to hand this money over to the public account."

"Turn it over to the public account?" Chen Lizheng was puzzled.

Who wouldn't be tempted by such a large amount of money? It's more than twenty taels. Why should the eldest daughter-in-law of the Chen family say she doesn't want it?

Chen Changsheng said, "Shouldn't our village set up a patrol team? We can't let the patrol people work in vain. If we can get some wages, everyone can be more motivated."

As the saying goes, money can make the world go round.

You can't do anything without money once, but you can't do it twice. The eighty laborers who dug the canals last time were either voluntary, some believed in Chen Lizheng unconditionally, and most of them were forced and did it unwillingly.

She continued, "Also, the people in the patrol team have different minds. There must be some who do the best, and some who are sneaking around and hiding. For those who do well, we can also reward them more appropriately. It can't be chilling.

Last time, Uncle Zheng, you said you would reward everyone with brown rice, but what if the brown rice prizes run out? There is no money in the public accounts, what should the patrol team do? Therefore, I think these more than twenty taels of silver are very suitable to be handed over to the public account. "

After saying this, Chen Lizheng thought about it seriously and felt that it made sense, but he still had some concerns, "My old man has been asked to keep such a large sum of money. To be honest, I still have some lies in my heart."

"Uncle Li Zheng must take care of such a large sum of money, so that we all can rest assured. If we let others keep it, we would still worry about it being misappropriated. Uncle Li Zheng, your character is beyond words!"

Chen Changsheng's words touched Chen Lizheng's heart.
