Those who work as village managers and village heads don't really make much extra income, otherwise most people in the village have some connections with you. If you make too much, people will definitely say that you have become an official and have broad horizons.

Therefore, positions like village chief and manager usually only receive small gifts, and there is no need to think too much about silver or anything like that.

"Okay, I won't be polite about this. We'll keep an eye on what happens next."

Lu Jun didn't bother to be polite with them. Going to the yamen to do business does require some arrangements to speed up the process. Besides, there were yamen runners who would come to measure the dimensions, so there were some tricks involved.

If you don't want to be shortchanged, you have to pay a little. Although these are also unspoken rules, if it can be completed smoothly, then give some benefits.

The matter was settled, and Lu Yong and Lu Jun left.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

As soon as Lu Yong returned home, he saw his wife Li Cui coming out of the kitchen.

"You're back. Is Agen calling you over to really separate the family?"

When Lu Zhengguo came home and called Lu Yong, Li Cui heard it for a moment. Now seeing her husband coming back, she asked curiously.

Lu Yong sighed, "There's nothing we can do about it. The second daughter-in-law of the Agen family is really outrageous."

"What's wrong? What did she do?" Li Cui became even more curious.

The whole village knows that Liu Zhaodi is unreliable.

Lu Yong told Li Cui what happened, and Li Cui frowned.

"Agen did the right thing. If it was my daughter-in-law, I would break her hand. Two hundred and forty taels. How dare she do that!"

Li Cui really didn't expect that Liu Zhaodi did such a big thing this time.

"That's not right. With so much money, why don't the Agen family go and get it back?"

Everyone knows the monthly salary of a gardener. Because of this, many families hope to have a gardener in their family. Twenty taels of silver a month, that is 240 taels a year.

This is money that most people cannot earn in their entire lifetime.

Lu Yong went into the house, poured a glass of water, and took a sip. "They have already been certified by the Plant Association. What can we do?"

Li Cui shook her head. "Ruan Rong will be distressed for a long time now."

Liu Zhaodi is famous in the village because there are so many outstanding people in Lu Gen's family.

Old Mrs. Lu was well-known in the village for being stingy and hot-tempered, and she was also a crazy doting daughter-lover, so Lu Qianqian was also very famous in the village.

How can a country girl not work? She lives like the daughter of a wealthy family, and is served by several sisters-in-law.

Next is Liu Zhaodi. When she first married into Lu Gen’s family, she was a pretty hardworking girl, but after giving birth to a child, her true colors were revealed.

In addition, Lu Zhengjun was also very nice to her, which made Liu Zhaodi develop a lazy and gluttonous character.

"Zhu'er, when you are free, go and play with Qianqian more often." Lu Yong said.

Li Cui did not object. She knew very well what kind of person the gardener was. It would be a good idea to let Lu Zhu and Lu Qianqian get closer. Besides, they were from the same clan, so it was necessary to have a good relationship.

In the past, Lu Qianqian was really that, so her family didn't allow Lu Zhu to have any contact with Lu Qianqian, for fear that she would lead Lu Zhu astray.

But now Lu Qianqian has become a florist, and I heard from my husband that Lu Qianqian has changed a lot, so I decided to get to know her first.

On the other side, the situation at Lu Jun's family is similar. They all know that Lu Gen's family is different, and they want the younger generations to get along well with each other.

Of course Lu Qianqian didn't know about this change. At this time, she was moving a stool and sitting under the eaves to watch the show!

"Mom and Dad, it's not that we don't want to move, we just don't have the money. You only gave us a little money and told us where to build a house. You have the money so you can buy land, but how are we, our family of four, going to survive?" Liu Zhaodi stood at the door of her house and shouted towards the main house.

The village chief and Li Zheng were there just now, and she knew that if she continued to make trouble, it would be wrong on her part. Now that they were gone, she would not be polite anymore.

"Brother, sister-in-law, until we find a house, we will still live here. Please don't look down on us. We only have two taels of silver. How can we leave? If we leave, won't it be like letting us die?"

After talking about Old Man Lu and Old Lady Lu, Liu Zhaodi shouted towards the main house.

Old Mrs. Lu is not someone who would tolerate it. If there hadn't been outsiders at home just now, it would have been Liu Zhaodi's turn to complain.

Hearing Liu Zhaodi's words, Old Lady Lu rushed out, not afraid of exposing the family's shame, and shouted, "You shameless bastard, don't you know why I gave you two taels of silver? You are so dishonest that you stole things from your husband's family and sent them to your parents' home. Why didn't you tell me? If my daughter Qianqian hadn't happened to go to the Plant Association, she wouldn't have known that you had done such a shameless thing."

Liu Zhaodi's scolding had already made the neighbors curious. Just now they saw the village chief and Li Zheng leaving Lu Gen's house, and everyone was extremely curious.

Now hearing the scolding from Old Lady Lu, my curiosity was aroused.

After all, yesterday Old Lady Lu brought her whole family to Liu Zhaodi’s parents’ home to cause some trouble, and everyone in Xinghua Village knew about it.

After a while, some people gathered outside Lu Gen's house.

"Two taels of silver is too much for you. Don't you think about how much silver you stole? Twenty taels a month is two hundred and forty taels a year. Aren't you afraid that your hands will get rotten?"

Old Mrs. Lu became more and more angry as she spoke. Their family didn't have that much silver, and now Liu Zhaodi had actually taken so much silver away directly.

When the people outside heard this, they were also shocked.

Two hundred and forty taels!

If this happened in their family, they would be beaten to death.

"Ruan Rong, you are so generous. You actually gave your daughter-in-law so much money!"

At this time, a voice with a teasing smile sounded. This person was Lu Fang, who had a feud with Old Lady Lu in the village. She couldn't stand Old Lady Lu being better than her.

She was happy as long as she saw that Old Mrs. Lu was not doing well.

Lu Fang's words hit Old Lady Lu directly in the heart.

Old Mrs. Lu looked over in the direction of the voice and saw Lu Fang standing at the gate of her house with a sarcastic smile on her face.

"What does my family's affairs have to do with you?"

Lu Fang laughed, "Of course it's none of my business. This kind of thing wouldn't happen in my family. You are such a powerful mother-in-law. Even your daughter-in-law doesn't take you seriously."

When Old Lady Lu heard this, she glared at Liu Zhaodi fiercely and said, "If you don't care about them, then don't care about them. I don't rely on them to survive. I still have my daughter. Now my daughter is a gardener. How can she make an old lady like me live a miserable life?"

In the past, when Lu Qianqian was outside, she only made Old Man Lu and Old Lady Lu lose face. After all, their daughter didn't work and was like a rich girl with a willful temper!
