The death of Old Zhang did not cause any disturbance in the village. At most, the villagers sighed in grief, and the matter was over in a few days.

However, because of Old Zhang's death, the three taels of silver that Zhang San's family received every month as a family allowance somehow got known to other people in the village.

Before long everyone in the village knew about it.

Many people went to the village chief's house to ask about the cause of the incident. It was fine at first, but later more and more people asked.

The village chief was tired of being asked so many questions, and his dissatisfaction with Yan Niang deepened. These days, Yan Niang dared not speak at home, and the people in the family also did not dare to speak, fearing that they would be wrong if they said one more word.

After all, the family can have such a good life now thanks to the village chief, so naturally, no one in the family dares to disobey the village chief.

What are you afraid of?

In the evening, Li Ji brought some people to the village chief's house.

The village chief saw that Li Ji had a terrible headache.

Nothing good happens every time this guy comes.

Li Ji didn't pretend or beat around the bush and got straight to the point, "Village Chief, why do you give Zhang San's family 3 taels of silver every month?"

The village chief explained the reason of the incident to Li Ji and others.

Obviously, Li Ji and his companions didn't buy it.

"Village head, you should discuss this matter with us. Three taels of silver is not a small amount."

Li Ji felt extremely unbalanced. He and his wife only earned a little over three taels of silver a month, while Zhang San's family could earn three taels of silver without doing anything.

Why? Why? The more Li Ji thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt.

After listening to Li Ji's words, the village chief looked at Yan Niang. Yan Niang felt extremely regretful. She shouldn't have said so much. Now, she had caused so many troubles for the head of the family.

If it weren't for me, none of these things would have happened.

"I made this decision after careful consideration for a long time. Now the living conditions of the villagers in our village have improved a lot. Because Yuntao's workshop is located in the village, every household now has laborers working in her workshop."

"You can earn some money every month, but you have all seen the current situation of Zhang San's family. Zhang San will never be well again. His mother is also useless, and Wang Dami doesn't even have any children. A family like this can't just rely on Wang Dami in the future."

Li Ji was very dissatisfied, "Village Chief, Wang Dami works in Yuntao Workshop and earns more than one tael of silver a month."

"Besides, Wang Dami is still young and energetic. Maybe he will earn more than us in the future."

The village chief felt uncomfortable all over when he saw Li Ji, this troublemaker.

"In their situation, one or two taels of silver a month is not enough."

The person next to Li Ji also said, "Village Chief, you should discuss this matter with us. After all, you are using the village's money. The money belongs to everyone, not just me."

"If you used your own money, I wouldn't say a word. None of us would say anything either, after all, it's your own money."

If you ask me, village chief, you have given all the money now, and if anyone has any problems in the future, the money will also be given by the village. "

"After all, there is a lot of silver in the village now. The silver used to build the school was all given by Yun Tao, so there must be a lot of silver left."

The village chief felt a little uncomfortable when he heard the tone of the person speaking.

Yan Niang never dared to appear in front of the village chief.

I've been hiding behind the door and listening secretly.

The village chief was so angry that he could not do anything. "Stop talking. If the head of the family dies, there will be no male to earn money. The family will be given three taels of silver to live on as a subsidy in the village."

"Of course, if there is no money in the village, there is nothing we can do."

Li Ji still felt uncomfortable.

I would say this is inappropriate.

"Village chief, how much silver is left in the village? How about dividing it according to the number of households?"

The village chief was stunned.

"Can't be divided."

"What if something happens in the village and we need money?"

The village chief is not stupid. When it comes to money, it is easy to take it in but difficult to give it out.

If you really need money when the time comes, and ask them for it, these people may not be willing to give it to you.

The village chief refused on the grounds that there were many places to be renovated and a lot of money would be needed.

Li Ji and his companions returned home disappointed and did not gain any benefit.

Within a week, rumors were spreading throughout the village.

Everyone is saying that the village chief is having an affair with Lianhua, and he is willing to use all the money in the village for her.

He also embezzled money from the village and used a lot of it to subsidize his own family.

When the village chief found out about this, he was so angry that he fainted.
