After being rejected, he emptied the mansion and went into exile

The entrance of the village chief's house was surrounded by a crowd of people, several circles inside and outside.

"Hey, Sister Niu, you're tall, come and see what's going on in there?"

"That's right, there's no way any of us can squeeze in."

The woman called Sister Niu is a woman in her thirties.

Sister Niu said in a loud voice: "Oh, you don't know, it's very lively in there."

"What happened? Did the village chief give out money?"

But the village chief’s door is not open yet, so it’s impossible to give out money.

"A bunch of people were kneeling in front of the village chief's house."

"Who's kneeling here?"

Sister Niu: "You can tell by the clothes, she is from the Shen family."

“How many people knelt?”

"Let me count, one, two, three... seven, eight. Oh my God, there are eight people kneeling."

"You counted wrong. The two at the back are holding two babies in their arms."

"Ah? Ten children?"

"So many people? What is the Shen family going to do?"

People around were talking about it. In addition to the nosy women, there were also several elders from the village gathered in the front.

Standing in the middle of the group of elders was the only educated person in the village.

The scholar's surname is Sun. He is just over 20 years old. It is said that he will prepare for the provincial examination next year. According to the Sun family, he is expected to become a scholar this year.

Therefore, everyone called him Sun Lang. His status was even higher than that of several clan elders, and his reputation was almost the same as that of the village chief.

"Sun Lang, what do you mean by this?"

Sun Lang shook his head and pondered for a moment before saying, "I guess he has something to ask the village chief."

"Humph, you're just playing the pitiful guy."

"That's right, we've seen this kind of trick many times."

Although that is what they said, it was the first time that so many people knelt at the door of the village chief's house so early in the morning.

The discussion behind was quite loud and could be heard by everyone in the Shen family.

There were three rows of people kneeling in the Shen family. The first row was the eldest son Shen Zhizheng and the eldest daughter Shen Jinyao.

Kneeling in the second row are Miss Shen Tingyao and Miss Shen Leyao.

Kneeling in the third row are the four brothers Shen Zhiyong, Shen Zhixue, Shen Zhixin, and Shen Zhiye.

This position was discussed by Shen Jinyao and everyone last night.

Shen Zhizheng glanced at Shen Jinyao beside him and saw her kneeling straight. He closed his eyes gently and thought of the scene last night.

After dinner last night, Shen Jinyao called the eight brothers and sisters of the Shen family together.

"Tomorrow morning, let's go to the village chief's house and kneel down."

Shen Tingyao almost choked on her own saliva. She said, "Ah? Why do you have to kneel?"

Shen Leyao was also very puzzled.

Shen Zhizheng said, "Jin'er, what are your plans? Why not tell me?"

The last time he saw Shen Jinyao, Shen Zhizheng felt that Shen Jinyao had become very calm and strategic.

Today, Shen Jinyao just arrived at Wuhe Village. Her grandmother didn't say a few words, and didn't even hug Xiaojiu and Xiaoshi. She hurriedly called them over. She must have her own ideas.

Shen Zhizheng was originally the calmest child in the Shen family. After experiencing the hardships of exile this time, he looked several times older.

After the eldest brother spoke, no one dared to say anything else, but everyone looked at Shen Jinyao.

Shen Jinyao: "We don't even have a house right now. Let's go find the village chief tomorrow and ask him to agree to help us build a house."

Shen Zhiyong: "Second uncle and third uncle have already gone to look for this matter, but Uncle Li didn't even open the door."

Shen Jinyao: "So everyone doesn't need to wash or dress up tomorrow, leave the rest to me."

The people in the Shen family are used to listening to Shen Jinyao's arrangements, and Shen Zhizheng plans to see Shen Jinyao's plan tomorrow and see whether he should intervene.

So before dawn, the sons and daughters of the Shen family knelt in an orderly manner at the door of the village chief's house.

When the villagers saw this, they gathered around and started talking. Uncle Li, who was about to get up, heard it and was about to open the door.

Uncle Li heard a lot of noise outside and thought something big had happened.

When he opened the door, he saw a group of people kneeling at his doorstep.

Looking closer, aren't these the young masters and young ladies of the Shen family?

They even brought a two-month-old baby with them.

The one kneeling in the front was the eldest son of the Shen family, whom Uncle Li had met a few days ago.

But who is that person kneeling upright next to him?

"Uncle Li, you are a good man, please help our family."

Shen Jinyao saw Uncle Li's brows furrowing more and more, so she spoke before he could open his mouth.

After Shen Jinyao finished speaking, the surroundings were quiet for a few seconds.

The main reason was that Shen Jinyao's voice was originally rather cold, and now when she said such words of pleading, people couldn't help but feel pity for her.

Some mothers, looking at Xiaojiu and Xiaoshi being held in the back, felt that the family was a little pitiful.

Although they hated outsiders, their youngest son was innocent.

Uncle Li didn't expect that the Shen family could actually do things to this extent. He had already heard it from the sound just now.

The person kneeling in front is the eldest daughter of the Shen family.

But she was wearing women's clothes today. Uncle Li took a look and found that she was indeed much more beautiful than in men's clothes.

No wonder Uncle Li didn’t recognize her at first. It was because he was distracted that Shen Jinyao interrupted him.

Uncle Li didn't say anything and quickly went to help Shen Zhizheng up.

While helping him, he said, "Old woman, come out quickly."

Aunt Zhou was already standing at the door, and seeing the situation, she went to help Shen Jinyao.

But who are Shen Zhizheng and Shen Jinyao?

One is a man who has experienced fleeing famine and has the strength to fight against the enemy, and the other is Shen Jinyao who knows martial arts.

In the end, neither of the couple was able to pull the man up.

Uncle Li could only give up, glanced at the people around him, and said, "What do you, the Shen family, mean today?"

Without asking, Uncle Li knew what Shen Jinyao meant by help.

Shen Jinyao said, "Uncle Li, fellow villagers. As everyone knows, our Shen family is new here and we don't even have a place to live right now."

"The Shen family has many old people and young children. Building a house is very urgent."

Uncle Li snorted and said, "Humph, your family's house building..."

Shen Jinyao didn't give Uncle Li a chance to continue, but said, "If time is not urgent, we can still build it ourselves."

"Grandma's health is deteriorating, and if we don't build a house, we will be unfilial."

"so……"

When Shen Jinyao said this, she looked around so that everyone could see her appearance.

Shen Jinyao's voice was filled with sadness as she continued, "I'd like to ask the villagers for help. I wonder if twenty cents a day for each person would be enough?"

Shen Jinyao spoke very quickly afterwards, not giving the village chief any chance to interrupt.

When the villagers first heard Shen Jinyao talk about building a house, they all looked disdainful.

As a result, when they heard the word "money", their eyes lit up.

what?

Twenty coins per person per day???
