Dressed as an old woman, I carry the system and my son to escape the famine
Chapter 36: Fooling Money
"Tell me, can we go around the mountain? Where did you go before? Is it far?"
This is the only way the village chief can think of. Other than that, he has no clue. It is too difficult to enter the city. They can't even get close to the city gate now.
The guards at the city gate became even tighter and no one was allowed to get close.
Seeing that the village chief had such thoughts again, Yao Shu said with a helpless smile.
"I'm afraid it won't work. I only walked halfway last time. That road is really dangerous."
Looking back now, she felt extremely scared. Unless she was forced into a desperate situation, she did not want to take the risk with her family. The two children at home, Xiaohua and Xiaocao, were still too young. If something unexpected happened, it would be terrible. That's bad.
"I heard they said that the thieves are almost here, and we are still trapped here, alas."
I can’t even count how many times the village chief has sighed. In the past few days, he has had a lot more white hair on his head.
Yao Shu raised her head and glanced, a little hesitant to speak. She had not just been wasting her time here for so many days, but she also had some ideas.
It's just that the idea she came up with is a bit expensive, and may even waste the money, and the Shen family's savings are not much, so she can't spend all her time on this matter.
She also has to think about herself and the Shen family.
This is a matter that concerns the entire Dahe Village. Everyone should contribute. Thinking of this, she asked the village chief sincerely.
"Village chief, do you have any money?"
"Yes, why do you ask?"
The village chief subconsciously tightened his grip on his money bag. Judging from Yao Shu's expression, it was hard for him not to suspect that the other party was the master who had used his money.
Is it possible that Yao Shu is trying to blackmail people again?
After all, the original owner had too many criminal records. It was normal for him to be subconsciously defensive when Yao Shu suddenly asked.
"Can you take it out to me? I have something serious to do."
Yao Shu looked serious.
But the more serious she acted, the more frightened the village chief's expression became. What is this all about? Even if he has money, what does it have to do with the Yao family? The only people who want to come to him for money are my mother-in-law and my mother-in-law. Go to Yaoshu.
Even if the relationship between them becomes warmer, the lion cannot open his mouth. It is not easy for the banker to save some money.
The Shen family used to make excuses to blackmail people, but now they have turned into blatant begging.
"If it doesn't work, why do you need money?"
The village chief stood up quickly. Seeing the posture, he wanted to leave immediately, fearing that he would accidentally get entangled and lose the money in his pocket.
They were outside the city now. There were no vendors for miles around, and there was no place to spend money. They couldn't enter the city. Thinking of this, he felt that Yao Shu was deceiving him even more.
After all, no one is perfect, and it is possible that Yao Shu failed to change all her bad habits for a while.
Seeing the village chief's reaction, the corner of Yao Shu's mouth twitched slightly. What exactly did he miss about her? But at the moment, she had something to ask for, so she ignored this little incident.
"I want to use the money to go to the city gate guard to inquire about information and see if there is any way to enter the city. My little money has been spent long ago, so I asked you to find a way."
In fact, she still has some money, but this is the guarantee of her future life and cannot be spent randomly.
It will be much better if we allocate the cost this time to everyone, and everyone can still bear it with gritted teeth.
Once he heard that it was a serious matter, the village chief finally let down some of his guard. Since it was a serious matter, it could still be discussed carefully.
"Is this reliable? I saw someone bribe the guard with something and was driven away in the end."
He was very hesitant about this matter, fearing that if he accidentally failed to get it done, he would lose both his people and money, which would be a disaster.
Everyone has worked so hard to save so much money, but they are always reluctant to spend it, for fear that they will get nothing in the end.
"I don't dare to guarantee it. I always have to give it a try before I know the result."
Yao Shu couldn't make a guarantee, so she could only try her best.
"If you are worried, you can come with me. I swear that I will never embezzle any money."
She was not short of money this much. The most important thing now was to find a way to get into the city quickly, otherwise she would have nowhere to spend the money even if she got it through fraud.
"No, sister-in-law, that's not what I meant..."
The village chief said somewhat sarcastically.
Even if he really doubted Yao Shu's little intentions, it would be hard to put it out in the open. It would be so embarrassing, but he did feel relieved and seriously considered the feasibility of doing so.
They say money can make all the difference, maybe it will work?
In the final analysis, it is because they simply can't think of any other way. No matter what the idea is, they want to try it.
"I'll go discuss it with everyone."
"The sooner this happens, the better."
Yao Shu always felt gloomy in her heart. She didn't know when the thieves would arrive, like a knife hanging above her head.
Not long after the village chief left, the Shen family swarmed around. Shen Nanshan looked at Yao Shu with admiration.
"Old lady, you are still the best."
"How do you say that word? It's called Lao. It's scheming. It turns out that my mother just wanted to deceive the big guys now."
Shen Fugui had a look of realization on his face. He finally understood why Yao Shu suddenly changed. It was not entirely due to the Lord of Hell, but just to gain everyone's trust.
The others had the same idea, and were all shocked by Yao Shu's behavior.
"Is that what you think?"
Yao Shu didn't know what to say. She widened her glasses slightly. Now it was really no wonder that the village chief couldn't believe her. Who knew that even the Shen family thought so?
Hearing her rhetorical question, everyone instinctively sensed something was wrong. After looking at each other, they were all too wise to say anything, but their expressions made their meaning clear.
"I'm going to say something ugly first. No one can touch this money. If I find out that a penny is missing..."
Yao Shu didn't finish her words, but the strong threat contained in them was enough to scare everyone.
They are about to get a large sum of money, but they can't even move it. This is a bit too tempting.
"Mom, let's just take some quietly. It doesn't matter. After all, giving the money to the guards won't be wasted in the end."
Shen Bei said unwillingly.
In his opinion, it was impossible to enter the city. He often wandered around the city gate. The guards were all very cold and tough. No matter how they begged or bribed, no one was there. If it succeeds, the city gate will remain closed.
In this case, it is better to steal some money and put it into your own purse, at least your work will not be in vain.
