Chapter 655 The Village Divides Money Again

The village chief's wife smiled and directed everyone to line up and maintain order.

The village chief moved out a table and, looking through the village list, crossed out the names of each family as they received money.

Everything was going on in an orderly manner and the money was almost divided up, when suddenly, someone from the Gu family showed up.

The person who came was Old Man Gu. Old Man Gu had been criticized by the villagers because of what happened to Boss Gu, and he had not dared to appear in public for a long time.

This time, when he heard that the village was going to distribute money again and there was no one at home to come and collect the money, Mr. Gu had to come out.

After all, now, Grandma Gu and Mrs. Wu are lying in bed and can't get out of bed, the second son Gu and his two children have gone to town and are not at home now, and Gu Yunyan is young, so Grandpa Gu is worried about her coming to collect the money.

When the village chief saw Mr. Gu, he didn't give him a displeasure. Instead, he looked calm and moved the abacus very quickly, and calculated the money of Mr. Gu's family in one go.

"Uncle Dagen, the total is one tael and two hundred wen, please keep it." The village chief said as he counted out the silver and handed it to Mr. Gu.

Mr. Gu took it, poked his head out and glanced at the list that the village chief had placed on the table, and suddenly asked: "Village chief, the list for my eldest son and my eldest daughter-in-law..."

Before Mr. Gu could finish his words, the village chief's face turned a little colder.

"Uncle, I calculated the portions for Boss Gu, his wife, and Gu Yunle separately. No one can come to claim them. I will deliver them after I finish my work."

When Mr. Gu heard this, he was a little displeased. That was his eldest son's family, and it was not convenient for his eldest son to come and pick them up. What was wrong with him helping to take them back?

"Village Chief, what you said, do you think that I will embezzle the money after I collect it for my eldest son?"

The village chief sneered, raised his head, and said seriously: "Uncle, I don't know whether you will embezzle the money. I only know how you treated Boss Gu in the past. I don't believe you."

"Besides, now that you and Boss Gu have separated, you are now two families. I'll send the money to him when I'm free. It won't be a big deal."

Hearing what the village chief said, Mr. Gu's face turned very ugly. He put away the money his family had received and turned away angrily.

Before they had taken a few steps, Boss Gu's new wife, Mrs. Lin, suddenly arrived.

Mrs. Lin had just gotten married and was not familiar with the village chief and other people, but she did know the village chief and his wife. After all, on the day she got married, Boss Gu also invited the village chief and his wife to dinner.

The village head's wife saw them from a distance, and she smiled and called out, "Oh, we were just talking, Madam Lin, you're here, come on, this is the money your family got, it's for you, Boss Gu, and your stepdaughter Gu Yunle."

The village chief's wife asked the village chief to take out the silver and money that had already been calculated and hand it to Mrs. Lin.

When Mr. Gu turned around, he saw everyone smiling warmly and talking to his eldest daughter-in-law. The way the villagers talked to his eldest daughter-in-law was completely different from the way they talked to himself.

At this moment, Mr. Gu’s face turned black and he strode out of the village center angrily.

The village chief glanced at Mr. Gu's leaving back, sneered in his heart, shook his head, and continued to distribute money to others.

Madam Lin looked at the copper coins in her hand. There were about six or seven hundred coins in total. When strung together, they were quite heavy. She couldn't help but have tears in her eyes.

In her entire life, she had never had so many coins in her hands.

Madam Lin took a breath and said with a smile, "Village Chief Sister-in-law, thank you very much. I will go back first."

After waving her hand, Mrs. Lin turned around and went back to Old Gu's house.

Although Boss Gu’s health has improved a lot now and he can stand up and walk a few steps, he still has to lie in bed most of the time.

Since Mrs. Lin got married, she has been living with Boss Gu for quite some time and she knows that he is a man of few words but a very down-to-earth person.

Since she married Boss Gu, she naturally hoped that he would get better and better and recover soon. So, Mrs. Lin put in all her efforts and took good care of him.

Most of the time, when he heard Boss Gu say he was tired or uncomfortable, he would immediately let him lie down on the bed and not let him do anything.

Just after being out for a short while, she began to worry whether Boss Gu would get up and move around at home again, tiring himself out.

When she returned home and walked into the yard, she saw Mr. Gu sitting on a low stool in the yard, smoking a water pipe. When he saw her come back, he raised his eyelids.

Mrs. Lin couldn't help but feel a little nervous and reached out to touch the copper coins in her sleeve.

Mrs. Lin smiled awkwardly and greeted him, "Dad, are you smoking a hookah?"

As soon as she said hello, she immediately regretted it.

The next moment, Mr. Gu looked over and said to her, "Old man, did you go to divide the money just now? Where is the money?"

Mrs. Lin felt a little nervous and regretted her decision very much. If she had known earlier, she would have pretended not to see Mr. Gu and went straight into the house.

At this moment, she felt completely terrible. She stood there blankly, not knowing whether she should answer or how to answer.

After thinking for a while, Madam Lin slowly opened her mouth, forced a smile, and said, "Yes, Dad, the eldest brother asked me to go and get it. He said that since we have separated, we don't need to trouble you to help us with these things."

"The eldest brother divided up the family property and didn't have a penny on him. Now he has finished his medicine. I was just worrying about where to borrow money to buy medicine for the eldest brother. Fortunately, I happened to catch up with the money distribution in the village. Otherwise, I would have a headache!"

"Dad, when you called me just now, did you mean to give me money to buy medicine for the boss? I knew that Dad cared about the boss!"

These words shocked Mr. Gu so much that he accidentally choked on the water pipe and had to cough quickly to feel better.

How could this eldest brother’s wife be so good at talking nonsense?

Still expecting him to give money to the boss to buy medicine, isn't this dreaming? Not to mention that he doesn't have that much money, even if he did, he can't afford to support the sick boss.

The eldest brother's health was bad. He had vomited blood before and was so thin that he looked unrecognizable. Even if he is getting better now, it will be difficult, almost impossible, to recover to his former self.

With that extra money, he might as well buy some delicious food instead of wasting it on his sickly boss!

Mr. Gu glanced at Madam Lin unhappily and said, "I was just asking casually and caring about you. There's nothing else. You can go in and see the boss."

Madam Lin breathed a sigh of relief, and the moment she entered the house, the corners of her mouth curled up.

She could tell at a glance what her father-in-law was planning, so she naturally wouldn't indulge him!

Fortunately, this father-in-law still has some dignity, so I can get rid of him with just a few words. If it were someone like Old Lady Gu... it would be difficult to get rid of him.

These days, Madam Lin also learned about some of Old Lady Gu's actions from Boss Gu, and she had a rough idea of ​​what kind of person Old Lady Gu was.

I just hope that Mrs. Gu’s stroke doesn’t get better. That would be the best.
