Chapter 677 Are You Willing?
Before Lin Caisang could say anything, Lin Laogeng's voice rang in everyone's ears. Lin Caisang looked at her grandfather in confusion, and couldn't help wondering: When did her grandfather discuss anything with her? Why didn't she know?
"Now no one is rich, and it's impossible to ask everyone to take out any silver. Sangsang and I discussed and decided to collect one penny per day from each family. We won't bother with the rest.
"What? One penny per day?"
The elder of the Ji clan almost jumped up when he heard what Lin Laogeng said.
How many families are there in their Ya Village? One penny per family per day. How much silver can Lin Caisang make just by selling water? Why don't the grandfather and grandson just rob?
"What? Did the elder of the Ji clan think it was too little? "Lin Laogen looked at Jizulao and raised his eyebrows.
"Indeed, one penny of silver a day is too little, but we are all from the same village, so we can't do too much. We will have to meet each other in the future, right, Jizulao?"
"This..."
Jizulao's mouth twitched violently, and he stared at Lin Laogeng's eyes as if they were poisoned.
But what could he say? Should he speak up for the people in the village? Or should he point at Lin Laogeng and Lin Caisang's noses and scold them for being obsessed with money? None of these would work.
"I do think it's a little too little, too little."
He could only say in a low voice with resentment.
"Jizulao, one penny of silver is not a small amount. Just like my grandfather said, we are all from the same village, and our Lin family can't make money from everyone, otherwise everyone will say that our family is too snobbish in the future, don't you think?"
Lin Changhong looked at Jizulao and said.
The successor elder: "..."
This Lin Changhong is not a good guy either.
Look at what he said, isn't it a hint that he is snobbish? How can he be snobbish? He has a good reputation in the village over the years, okay?
Also, since you keep calling us "fellow villagers", why do you still want to collect money? Wouldn't it be better and more reasonable to just not collect money? You say you don't have money in your heart, but in fact, no one loves money as much as the Lin family!
"Lao Geng, to be honest, you might as well not collect a penny a day. Didn't you say that we are all fellow villagers, after all, we live in the same village."
He said to Lin Lao Geng unhappily.
"How can that be possible?"
Before Lin Lao Geng could speak, Lu Qiubo spoke.
"Ji clan elder, although we are all from the same village, we are brothers and sisters. When our Sangsang wanted to dig a pond, no one refused to pay us for digging. Now that we need water, we are asked not to pay. How can this be justified?
Besides, if we don't charge money for everyone's water this time, what about the next time, and the next time? In the future, whoever needs water will come to my Sangsang's Manghuang Mountain to fetch water, and the water on Manghuang Mountain will be used up, right?
My Sangsang dug this pond for his own fields, not for everyone in the village every year. It's okay for villagers to help each other, but we can't help all the time. If someone's things are not useful to their own family, we won't be happy to give them to others for free.
Ji clan elder, please put yourself in their shoes. If I ask you to take out your things for us to use, would you be willing?"
