Guide to raise my cutie husbands - Chapter 1740 - 1740: Attacked by a horde of lamb
“And there is also…”
Yu Dong stopped in her actions as she turned to look in the direction of the room that belonged to her grandmother. She turned to look at Chen Mi and asked, “Do we have guests?”
“Mhmm,” Chen Mi replied with a nod. “Second grand aunt heard that Grandmother is sick, so she came to see her.”
Second grand aunt? Yu Dong peered inside the room that belonged to her grandmother and nodded before turning to look at her husband. She said to him, “Tell Li that we need to pay the villagers today. Ask him to take out a million taels from the vault.”
Chen Mi nodded as he turned on his feet and walked inside the courtyard, which belonged to Shen Li, to relay the words that Yu Dong had said to him.
Three hours later, Shen Li brought more than one million taels from the vault that was hidden inside the courtyard.
The vault did not have much money saved inside of it; most of the money was saved in the bank that was located in the city. Fortunately, Yu Dong didn’t need a lot of money, or else they would have to go to the city to withdraw it.
“Wow! This much money?” When the villagers noticed that Yu Dong had arrived with the money, everyone gathered at the village common house. Some even ran back from their fields when they heard that they were going to receive their monthly payment.
How could they not be in a hurry? This money was something that they have earned after working for so long!
They all looked at the box, which was filled with silver taels, and were truly excited.
“I still cannot get used to the amount of money that Madam Yu brings out every time she is about to pay us.”
“Me too. Even now I feel like I am dreaming.”
“If you think that you are dreaming, then why don’t you go and take a look at the silver that you have saved? Haha!”
“I wish I could save so much money; if I could, then I would wake up with a smile on my face. I mean, just look at those silver taels!”
“You sure know how to dream, don’t you?”
“Is she dreaming? Though she cannot earn five million, she can at least earn a decent sum of money like four hundered taels; that’s enough for a person like us.”
“Sure enough, those who work hard are rewarded.”
“With this much money, I can afford a decent house for my daughter. That woman who refused to marry our daughter to her mer son would certainly cry tears of regret, haha!”
The price of housing in the village did not cost much, and with the drought going on, their village only needed to provide a few grains to the workers, and they would willingly help them.
At such times, more than money, the people of the town wanted water and grains.
The rich have long left the town; only the poor and the ones who have nowhere to go are waiting for some kind of help from the Imperial family.
As for whether or not it was going to come, neither of them had any idea about it.
Thus, as long as the workers were given a decent amount of money, the villagers didn’t have to worry about money.
“I should also think of saving money and building a house. My family is large, and with my daughters returning home, the space inside my house has shortened down by a lot.”
“I have the same plan. Since we can earn so much money at our village, there is no need for my daughters to leave for the town, but unfortunately for us, the house that we live in at the moment is too small at the moment.”
The woman sighed as she said to the woman on the side, “I think it’s better for me to save a bit more and then buy a decent house for my daughter.”
The villagers were enraptured with joy as they looked at the box of silver taels, and yet no one dared to move forward and snatch a few for themselves, as they knew that if they dared to steal, then they wouldn’t only lose the money but they would also lose everything else.
While they were discussing what they were going to do with the sum of money, Yu Dong arrived at the common house with Village Head Gu. She glanced at the people who were talking happily and then turned to look at the village head, who nodded and turned to look at the crowd of people in front of her.
“Everyone, simmer down!”
Her tone was filled with happiness as well because today her daughters as well as her mer sons were going to be paid. And the family had calculated the sum of money that they were going to get today.
And from their calculations, the sum of money that they were going to get was more than 500 taels!
How could they not be filled with joy?
She laughed lightly and then turned to look at the villagers in front, “Look at you. I don’t think that you all have ever been happier in any of the village meetings before.”
She chuckled with the rest of the villagers before turning to look at Yu Dong, who smiled as well.
“Alright, everyone. Calm down, let’s start the main topic; everyone knows why we have gathered today, right?”
“Yes.”
“In that case, I don’t think we need to go through the old rules,” said Village Head Gu. “The main purpose of this meeting is the payment for the grains that you have provided the Yu family for the entire month.”
“So everyone get into a line and bring out your receipts that you received at the time when you delivered the vegetables.”
“What if someone has lost the receipts?” one of the mers asked nervously as he glanced at his wife, whose face was cold and stiff.
He had mistakenly washed the receipts and had earned the ire of his wife. If they failed to get the payment, his wife might divorce him and send him back to his house.
