Reborn peasant girl: I became rich overnight by traveling to sea

In the main room of the village chief's house.

The village chief raised his eyes from the two pieces of paper he was looking at before and stared blankly at Liu Qingwan in front of him.

"Miss Liu plans to let everyone in the village see the village's accounts. I'm afraid I can't agree to this." The village chief's expression was very serious. "The village's accounts are an extremely secretive matter in the village. Anyone can see it if they want. If you look at it, then don’t I, the village chief, have no authority?”

Liu Qingwan was stunned. She had never thought that the village already had accounts and that the village chief would reject them because of this matter.

"Village Chief Guo misunderstood us when he said this." Meng Xia said with a smile, "We didn't know that the village already had an account. We just thought that since we planned to divide the business of traveling to the sea for everyone, the accounts would be clear. It will definitely make everyone trust us more.

"How about making a separate account for us, recording income and expenses, how many guests we entertain every day, and what we spend money on..." Meng Xia rambled.

"No need." The village chief seemed uninterested in Meng Xia's proposal. "There are many places to spend money in the village. For example, as the twelfth lunar month is approaching, we have repaired the village's ancestral hall and rented a fishing boat for everyone to go fishing. These are all for Things to prepare for the New Year.

"There are even some celebrations in the village in normal times, and some dragon and lion dancers are invited from outside to liven up the excitement. It's impossible to pay these out of the village's account every time, right? You are not the village chief, you don't Understand how troublesome this is."

The village chief said, shaking his head tiredly, as if he felt a headache just thinking about these things.

"Don't worry, village chief, we will definitely not let you publish those previous accounts..." Meng Xia said, but saw that the village chief still had a headache and was unwilling to continue listening.

Suddenly, Meng Xia realized that the village chief wanted to take all the accounts into his own hands.

Meng Xia raised his eyebrows and glanced at Liu Qingwan, and the two exchanged glances.

"Since the village chief doesn't want us to publish the accounts, then our income from the sea..." Liu Qingwan said, paused deliberately, and sure enough she caught the village chief's eager gaze.

Liu Qingwan smiled and continued speaking unhurriedly: "Half of it will be divided into the village's income. Who does the village chief think is appropriate to give it to?"

The village chief frowned and said in a pretense of embarrassment: "Since it is money given to the village, it is also money for the subsequent development of the village. It seems that it is more appropriate to leave it to me."

Chang Pingning looked at the village chief's pretentious attitude and couldn't help but despise the village chief in his heart. With his pretentious attitude, it seemed that he must have taken a lot of money from the village's account before.

Thinking of this, Chang Pingning looked around at the main room of the village chief's house. It looked much larger than theirs, and many of the tables and chairs inside were of the same shapes she had seen in the town.

Meng Xia moved her eyes away from the chair where the village chief was sitting. She looked at the village chief with a smile: "If we start collecting tickets for going to the sea, it will definitely make the whole village rich, and there will definitely be more places that need money. It's time to repair it or hire someone to play gongs and drums.

"If everything is handed over to the village chief, and the village chief accidentally mixes up the two accounts, as time goes by, everyone may forget that it was the three of us who proposed the plan, and will only remember that it was the village chief who paid for it. Things are going on in the village."

Meng Xia said with a look of helplessness on his face: "Why don't we take care of the income and accounts of Qianhai? If you have any doubts, you can come to us at any time."

The tone was a little helpless, as if the village chief disagreed, and the three of them could only reluctantly agree.

Chang Pingning nodded inwardly, knowing that Meng Xia must have seen the village chief's intention and wanted to put the money from the sea back into the pockets of the three of them.

The village chief obviously disagreed with Meng Xia's proposal. When he saw that Meng Xia did not relent, he snorted coldly: "If you insist on doing this, it will cause dissatisfaction among other people in the village. Even if I, as the village chief, will not be able to take the initiative to help. You guys are talking." Chang Pingning knew that this meant that the talks had broken down: the village chief wanted to record the accounts and money of the sea alone, but Meng Xia's concession changed from "everyone in the village can see it" to "the three of them". can see".

Chang Pingning was a little worried about what he would discuss with the village chief next. This was the first thing.

Unexpectedly, the village chief had no intention of continuing the conversation, and told them that he had other things to do in the village later, so that the three of them could leave on their own.

Meng Xia and Liu Qingwan also looked at each other in surprise. They both saw surprise in each other's eyes: They didn't agree to the village chief's request just now, and he wouldn't want to talk about it next?
Meng Xia shook her head helplessly. Since the village chief disagreed, she could only summon the people in the village and tell everyone in the village directly.

"Since the village chief is busy, we won't disturb the village chief." Meng Xia said politely, stood up and prepared to leave the village chief's house.

"Wait, what are you going to do...?" The village chief looked a little nervous.

Meng Xia noticed the nervous expression on the village chief's face, but pretended not to notice, and kept his original kind look: "Tell our plan to other people in the village and see what they think."

Unexpectedly, after listening to Meng Xia's words, the village chief relaxed visibly on his face and snorted coldly: "Then you go ahead. Don't blame me for not reminding you. If other people in the village are dissatisfied, I won't I’m here to help you.”

Chang Pingning saw the village chief's face full of pride, as if he was sure that the people in the village would not agree to their proposal.

Chang Pingning didn't understand. Isn't this what the group of people who gathered in front of Guo's house wanted?They gave up the business of fishing and making seafood.

How could the people of Guojiacun disagree?
Even if not everyone agrees, there will be some who agree, right?

Chang Pingning thought, and followed Meng Xia and Liu Qingwan to the open space in the center of the village.This is the place where Guo Zhongzhou brought a big man who wanted to harm the interests of their stall to the village and asked the villagers to publicly try and punish the big man.

This is the center of the village. Usually, when there is some big event, people in the village are usually called over to discuss it.

The three girls stood here for a while before they were reminded by their aunt who was doing needlework nearby: This is not the place where they should stand.

Meng Xia didn't pay attention. Instead, he told the aunts in front of him what they were planning to do and asked them to call everyone in the village.

Several aunts had heard about the previous dispute at Guo Dayong's house, and now they heard that they were going to give up the money. There was also Bomer's wife standing in the middle. They all happily agreed and praised the three of them for their efforts. Do good things.

"We're going to call someone right now. But the place in the middle is not where you three girls should stand. You step aside and wait for the village chief in charge to come later."

As the aunts spoke, they put down their sewing and got up to call for help.

After hearing what they said, Meng Xia felt dissatisfied. He ran to the center and stood there, jumping up and down.

But Chang Pingning and Liu Qingwan stood aside, and they exchanged a forced smile. (End of chapter)
