Chapter 142 Double Standards
Chapter 142 Double Standards
When Chief Jiang heard her words, he immediately became anxious and shouted angrily: "Girl An Ning!"
This damn girl, how come she can't control her mouth and says anything?
Jiang Anning looked innocent: "What's wrong, Grandpa Clan Leader? Did I say something wrong? Just now at the entrance of the village, didn't you use threats and inducements to say that I should pay at least 200 taels of the 300 taels I owed you?"
When Aunt Fang heard this, she was shocked.
She immediately rolled up her sleeves and cursed: "You are such a black-hearted old beast, you are so calculating!"
"Obviously, everyone has already discussed it. The two masters are not unreasonable people. They have also agreed. Each family can pay 500 coins and learn the craft."
"Why are you asking An Ning to pay two hundred taels just by saying this?"
Jiang Anning pretended to be surprised: "What about the three hundred taels that the clan leader mentioned before?"
"I bother!"
Aunt Fang became even more angry: "There is no such thing as three hundred taels. There are only two hundred taels in total. And they also said that they would give it to us after the matter is completed. It's just that because Jiang Wei suddenly disappeared, they didn't dare to take the risk, so they asked us to pay first."
"But they don't trust us, and we don't trust them either, so we agreed to give them half first as a deposit, and then sign a new contract document and keep it on file with the government before paying them the money."
Jiang Anning's eyes suddenly became sharp, as if he knew he had been deceived, shocked, puzzled and angry: "Grandpa Clan Leader, why did you lie to me?"
Patriarch Jiang was speechless for a moment, and the look he gave Aunt Fang seemed to be filled with anger.
"Don't look at me like that!"
Aunt Fang pointed at the man angrily, not afraid at all: "What? You did something dishonest, lied to An Ning, and you don't want people to tell you about it?"
Patriarch Jiang suddenly felt that more and more contemptuous glances were cast upon him.
He was furious.
This group of people, this group of people!
Just now at the entrance of the village, everyone was silent, hoping that he would speak and act like a villain.
But if they could really get something out of Jiang Anning, they would all pounce on her like flies...
Patriarch Jiang said "Pah" in his heart, what a green bean fly, as if he was some rotten shit.
But that's pretty much what it means.
His face looked ugly.
At that time, no one said a word. Now that they saw someone supporting Jiang Anning and the situation might be reversed, these people immediately became like fence-sitters and leaned to the side of the wind... Enough is enough!
Why do you despise him?
He is also seeking his legitimate rights and interests. If they have the ability, they should not be jealous and should not think about coming over to have a share of the pie!
He wants everything and wants to take advantage of everyone, yet he has the nerve to come and look down on him!
Chief Jiang cursed everyone in his mind, as if someone really saw him.
After taking a deep breath, Chief Jiang said shamelessly, "Let's go inside and talk. Let's all go inside and talk. It looks like so many people are all huddled together in this place."
Having said that, he walked towards Jiang Anning's house by himself, as if he was going back to his own home. If someone didn't know, they would think he was the owner of the house.
"Shameless old man!"
Aunt Fang cursed angrily behind him and then followed after him, as if she was guarding against a thief.
Seeing this, the others followed in and found a place to sit down.
However, Jiang Anning, the real owner of the house, lagged behind the others by half a step and was the last one to come in.
As soon as he entered the room, he found that he didn't need to take care of anyone, so he sat down on his own. He didn't know where he got the tea leaves from, but he even started to make tea.
That's really rude.
As soon as Jiang An Ning came in, the Jiang clan leader took over and said, "Girl An Ning, you just said that you want us to agree to a few conditions. Tell us first."
I deliberately didn't mention what Aunt Fang had just said, as if nothing had happened.
"Grandpa, please tell me first how two hundred taels became three hundred taels."
Jiang Anning ignored the man's words and looked at him with a smile. He seemed to be in a friendly mood, but his tone was not open to argument: "How come the village had already discussed how to pay the money, and only half of it was enough, but when I came back, they immediately changed their minds? Did they also give another option? Or did you, the clan leader, make your own decision?"
"Where are you going to take this extra money?"
"You are trying to trick me and make me the scapegoat."
Patriarch Jiang's face suddenly turned red.
It wasn't because he felt guilty, but he was just angry that Jiang An Ning didn't show him any mercy at all. She exposed his lies so blatantly and made him lose face. She was really uncultured.
He thought with an angry face: It’s not possible for a child without parents.
He has no understanding of the ways of the world.
He doesn't even know how to respect the elderly and love the young.
He cursed in his heart for a long time, and when he felt a little relieved, he spoke: "Look at you, kid, you are so polite when you talk."
"Could it be possible that the clan leader grandfather is trying to harm you?"
"I say this for a reason."
"You..." Never mind!
Just as Chief Jiang was about to brush the matter off, Jiang An Ning pressed on, "What's your intention? Chief Grandpa, why don't you explain it clearly so that I can learn from you how shrewd and calculating you are."
"I……"
Chieftain Jiang choked, muttered something, and was speechless for a long time.
What's wrong with this damn girl?
That's too aggressive!
"Can't Grandpa Clan Leader tell me?" Jiang An Ning's face turned cold: "Then I'll tell you. Grandpa Clan Leader, please listen to me and tell me if I'm right."
Patriarch Jiang instinctively felt that something was wrong and wanted to speak up to stop them, but he was still a step too slow.
"Originally, each family agreed to contribute 500 coins. There are about a hundred families in our village. I think someone has split up and set up his own family. That's how we managed to gather about 200 families. Am I right?"
Patriarch Jiang's face turned pale, but the others couldn't help but nod their heads, feeling that An Ning was a girl who could foresee things.
You know what, that’s really what’s happening.
There are definitely not 200 households in the village. However, if some families with many sons, whose sons have married and have sons, are willing to divide their property, then there will be enough to make up the 200 households.
Not only was it enough, but there was also a lot left. Of course, some of them were unwilling to split up the family property. Strength lies in numbers, and if their parents were still alive and the brothers divided up the family property, it would be hard to believe if the news got out.
Many elders are superstitious about it!
But if you don’t want to divide it, you have to pay per person, 500 coins per person.
If they don't want to pay, they can only split up.
In this way, although families with more labor force at home suffer a little loss, it is still much more cost-effective than 500 coins per head.
What? Not coming out?
Chieftain of the Jiang clan was also very angry. He joined forces with several other senior members of the clan and made it very clear: You don't have to pay the money, but you have to move out of Jiangjia Village immediately and be exterminated from the clan.
In addition, there were some people who were thinking about dividing the family property and instigating the move, so in the end, they had to divide the family property even if they didn't want to.
After all, it doesn't make sense to divide the family property without dividing the money.
Being able to get two or three taels of silver and a few acres of land from the elders, and live a small life with my own things, even if it hurts to pay out five hundred coins, it is worth it!
Some people agreed, some people disagreed, but in the end the minority had to obey the majority, so everyone had to agree even if they disagreed.
"According to the share of 500 coins per family, if the 100 taels of silver are collected together, there may be some left. The rest will probably go into your own pocket, Grandpa, the clan leader, and you can call it the common property of the villagers. When you come to worship your ancestors, you can use it as money to buy tribute."
Jiang Anning sneered: "Is what I said right?"
exactly!
If the occasion wasn't inappropriate, everyone would have wanted to give Jiang Anning a thumbs up.
This girl is so amazing!
Like a fortune teller, he was not there, but he described what happened at the scene almost accurately.
Everyone couldn't help but feel a little more awe in their hearts.
In their opinion, if she could describe the things they had discussed behind her back so accurately, she could probably figure out other things as well.
That’s right, in the eyes of the villagers, Jiang Anning must have calculated things to be able to predict the situation so accurately.
Who knows when this kid showed up, there's a fairy on him!
Jiang Anning didn't know how the villagers thought divergently, so she continued, "The clan leader was not satisfied with just embezzling a few hundred coins, but he had no choice. He couldn't really ruin the reputation of the village and let people poke our villagers in the back, saying that our villagers were untrustworthy. They invited people from far away, but broke their promise and were unwilling to pay. What's more, the money was written in black and white."
“Even if the clan leader finds a solution, rumors are spreading outside that it was Brother Muramasa who ripped off the entire village and ran away with the money, describing our village as extremely pitiful.”
"But what's true is true, and what's false is false. As time goes by, the truth will come out. What if..."
Jiang Anning paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "If public opinion turns against us, it will inevitably cause a greater backlash, and we will end up losing more than we gain."
"But I didn't expect that I would come back at this time."
Jiang Anning picked up the teapot that was boiling on the stove and poured a bowl of steaming hot water into the bowl. As if he was not afraid of the heat, he blew on the water to cool it down, gulped it down in a few gulps, and felt a little warmer all over.
Everyone just watched her drink a bowl of empty water.
But I always feel that the water tastes better than ordinary drinking water.
It made them unable to stop swallowing.
"Now that I'm back, the clan leader's mind has become more active."
"If I were to pay the two hundred taels alone, the clan leader would be able to embezzle even more!"
"Those who are dressed in silk and satin are not silkworm breeders. If the time comes and silkworm breeding and reeling fail to make money, the clan leader grandfather can not only not give the remaining one hundred taels, but also ask for back the one hundred taels that he has already given."
"When the time comes, at worst, we can give some of the 100 taels we got back to the villagers."
"Everyone will naturally keep their mouths shut when they get the benefits, and will even work hard to help beg for it."
"As for the remaining one hundred taels, I think the clan leader grandfather always had many reasons and excuses to embezzle it."
Jiang Anning smiled and said, "I don't know. Is what I said correct?"
What the hell!
Patriarch Jiang wanted to shout angrily: Bullshit!
What's right?
But when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say them at all.
It’s not that I’m not thick-skinned enough, it’s simply that... that big mouth from Jiang Genshan’s family is here!
When they get together to discuss what to do, they naturally can't help but reveal a word or two about the distribution of interests.
Everything Jiang Anning said was what they had agreed on and expressed with the same goal in mind.
If he really denies it, who knows how that big mouth from Jiang Genshan's family will talk back to him!
A heartless person has no idea of his good intentions.
Jiang Anning is rich and can make money. What's wrong with him making some contribution to the village?
He had inquired around and found out that Jiang Anning lived in a very nice house in the county town!
The embroidery workshop also provided food and accommodation. Some people had seen with their own eyes that Jiang Anning would go to restaurants to eat mutton hotpot every few days.
She has enough money to eat mutton hotpot every day, so why should she give them this little bit?
If we eat fewer mutton hotpot meals, we can save the money and give it to them, right?
Now, the good things that were originally planned have been ruined by that tiger woman in Jiang Genshan's family. Jiang Anning will definitely not be able to give them money so happily anymore.
Patriarch Jiang was very upset.
It was as if Jiang Anning had readily agreed to give them money.
"Don't talk about these nonsense for now."
The head of the Jiang clan frowned and acted like an elder: "Just tell me, are you going to pay for this or not?"
"If you don't want to come out, we won't force you. But the villagers have already agreed that those who don't pay will leave the village on their own accord!"
Chief Jiang looked around the furnishings in the room and said, "Although I feel sorry for you because your parents died when you were young, I cannot break the rules we set before just because of you. Otherwise, one will come to me to ask for favors, and the other will come to me to complain. In the end, we will turn all the people who have worked so hard to unite into a mess."
He looked at the furnishings in the house with a somewhat greedy look, thinking that if Jiang Anning left, it would be nice to leave the house for them to divide up.
Not to mention how much this house is worth, even the furnishings, pots, pans, and other things in the house can be exchanged for a few taels of silver, right?
Patriarch Jiang deliberately suppressed his expression and tried to be calm: "If you want to contribute, let's sit down and discuss it again, how to allocate the investment proportion appropriately!"
These were some very shameless words that were said by Chief Jiang with full justification.
If someone had a softer personality, he might have been fooled by his self-righteous attitude.
Jiang Anning suddenly laughed.
She stroked the edge of the bowl she had just used to drink water from and said slowly, "I said, let me pay, okay."
"But the village has to agree to a few conditions of mine."
Jiang Anning looked at Patriarch Jiang, as if waiting for him to make a decision.
