Bring your aunt to eat big meat, the scumbag father's family is furious
Chapter 206: Award the title of "Village of Righteous Men", each family will receive 22 si
It was almost noon, and the villagers working in the fields packed up their things and went home for dinner.
After hearing what the official said, they remembered that after they repaired the road, the supervisor said he wanted to go back to the county government office and report the matter to the county magistrate.
Do they really take it to heart? They are already satisfied just by receiving a compliment.
I didn't expect the reward to really come.
Everyone ran to the Bazi Square to gather.
"What, there's a reward?" The Song family was also harvesting rice in the fields, and Old Lady Song said in disbelief.
Boss Song: "But mother, we haven't been on the road to work for a single day."
"You're stupid. Just say our family was gone for a day or two, but no one noticed."
"The government officials were not there at the time. If you insist on your statement, what else can they do?"
"Let's go, we Song family members will also go to collect the reward." Boss Song put the sickle to his waist.
During the period when the road was being opened, almost every household joined in the battle, except for a few families including the Shen and Song families.
So, a lot of people came to the Bazi Square all of a sudden.
Seeing that almost everyone had arrived, the leader took out a reward document and read it to everyone. The gist of it was that the villagers of Datian Village spontaneously built a road and cleared the official road to Yongguan County in less than half a month, making a great contribution.
A road sign will be erected on the village road of Datian Village, awarding the village the title of "Village of Righteousness". Each family that helps to clear the official road will be rewarded with two taels of silver.
There were so many that the villagers exclaimed in amazement.
With such a beautiful name, Datian Village will become famous in the surrounding villages.
Everyone was delighted, as if all the fatigue from the morning's work had disappeared. However, they were already dizzy from the sun, and now they felt even more dizzy, as if they were dreaming.
"Okay, we've delivered the road marker. You can put it up yourself."
As the leading yamen runner spoke, he had someone move a stone off the horse's back. It was not heavy, about 100 pounds, and was covered with a red cloth. When the red cloth was lifted, the words "Dayizhicun" were seen engraved in the center of the stone tablet. It looked majestic and powerful, and was also sprayed with red paint.
When the villagers saw this stone tablet, they felt a sense of pride in their hearts.
From then on, Datian Village was different from other villages.
The officers and soldiers lifted another box off the horse and opened it, and the white silver came into everyone's sight.
They are all small silver ingots. The official silver is white and clean, without any tooth marks, but they are guaranteed to be authentic.
The Song family swallowed their saliva. They could also take advantage of the situation and get two taels of silver without having to do any work. The feeling of getting something for free was really great.
The leader took out a rolled-up piece of paper from his sleeve and unfolded it.
"The names are all written down. When your name is called, come forward and receive your money."
What? He even wrote down the name specifically. The Song family was stunned when they heard it.
They thought they could get a great deal, but they didn't expect that their names were recorded. They didn't even go there, so how could their names be on the list?
The Qiao family admired the expressions of the Song family and almost couldn't help laughing.
I thought I was very smart.
Some villagers had been busy on the road for several days in a row, but they did not go that day because of family matters. However, other villagers also helped them register their names, so they also received a reward.
The eldest and second oldest brothers of the Song clan murmured to each other and thought they could take a gamble.
They insisted that they had been gone for a day or two, but the villagers had not noticed them and therefore had not reported their names.
At least give them one or two taels of silver.
Just as Song Lao Er was about to step forward, he was stopped by a hand. When he saw that it was Song Rui'er, Song Lao Er frowned.
"What's wrong? You little bastard, don't delay me from making money."
"Dad, don't go. There are so many villagers testifying, and it's the government officials who are here. If they get caught, it will be that our family is trying to deceive the government, and they might even take you away."
When Song Laoer heard him say this, he couldn't help but hesitate.
Seeing him like this, Boss Song snorted coldly, "What are you afraid of? There are so many people working on the road. Have you seen every face? Look at that box filled with so much silver. There is more than enough to give out. Only a fool would refuse it."
"Uncle, if you have the courage, go ahead, even if we don't have the guts." This was the first time that Song Ruier contradicted the elders of the Song family.
Boss Song slapped him on the head.
"Oh, you've only been in school for a few days, and you're already acting tough. We agreed that you, the second wife, won't enjoy the money I get."
"Well, we don't want it." Song Ruier answered before Song Laoer.
Song Lao Er suddenly became anxious. He had gained a few taels of meat for nothing, so he would have to eat a few meals of meat to celebrate. He didn't want to get no meat at all.
"Let me go." He pushed Song Ruier away fiercely.
I'll deal with this brat when I get back. He'll definitely go hungry for two or three meals.
"Get out of here! I'm your elder brother. How dare you snatch it from me? You're totally disrespectful to your elders." Boss Song rushed forward, thinking only of getting the silver and letting the eldest wife enjoy it alone.
At that time, at most, Old Lady Shen will get a few pieces of meat, and as for the second wife, she can only watch helplessly from the sidelines.
Thinking of this situation, he felt a sense of pleasure in his heart.
"Brother, I was the one who wanted to go in the first place. I won't bother you with this kind of thing."
The second and the eldest Song fought and shoved each other, and finally came to a fight. They punched and kicked each other, their faces flushed, and neither of them gave in.
When the villagers saw them fighting, they gave them some space.
Everyone was surprised. What were the two brothers fighting for? Although many of the Song family members' behaviors were very strange, this was the first time they saw two brothers fighting.
This is infighting in public.
The faces of several officials suddenly darkened. They came to deliver a tablet of merit and reward money, but these two villagers actually fought in front of them. Did they really not take them seriously?
"Hey, hey, what are you doing? Stop it, stop it." The leading officer immediately shouted.
But the two men were beaten so hard that they were confused and kept shouting "It's my credit", and did not listen to the words of the officer.
In the end, two officers and soldiers stepped forward and forcibly pulled them apart.
The two men were panting, their bodies covered with bruises, staring at each other in defiance. If they hadn't been held back by someone, they would have rushed towards each other again.
"What's going on, you two? Why are you fighting?"
"Sir, I want to tell you that we have also reached the road, but we didn't write down our names. We were gone for a day or two, and the villagers didn't see us." Song Lao Er said quickly, looking at Song Lao Da proudly.
He was prepared just now and punched Boss Song in the mouth. Boss Song was in so much pain that he couldn't speak.
Why argue with him? He should be the one to say it; the credit is ultimately his.
Boss Song wanted to speak, but blood came out as soon as he opened his mouth. When he touched his teeth, he found that one of his teeth had been knocked out by Boss Song.
When the villagers heard this, they realized that they were arguing about this. It was so funny. They hadn't even seen the Song family all day, and it would have been fine if they had just taken advantage of the reputation of the village of righteous men, but they even wanted money?
