Chapter 134 Malice

The village chief quickly spread the news to every household. There was no way the Lin family would come up with the money, as they were already short of money.

She didn't believe it in her heart, and it was even more unlikely that they would give her any money, so she came up with a plan.

"In my opinion, they just want to cheat us out of money, so they deliberately asked us to pay so much money. Isn't the money we paid before enough?"

They pay a little money regularly every year. After all, they still need it sometimes, and they won’t do these things if they don’t need it.

Upon hearing this, the head of the village frowned slightly, revealing a hint of doubt, and couldn't help but speak.

"I don't think so. After all, they might really need that much money. We don't understand it either. So, we just pay it anyway."

He is not a particularly stingy person. He thinks that the money is not a big amount. It is for the good of everyone anyway, so there is no problem in paying a little money.

When Lin heard this, his face instantly fell. He spoke in a very serious tone, even with a hint of dissatisfaction, and directly said something back.

"I think you have a stupid brain. Don't you think about who the biggest beneficiary is? How could they not make some money out of it?"

When she said this, everyone's expressions changed slightly, and some people even didn't want to pay the money anymore.

"To be honest, our family doesn't have that much money anymore. Otherwise, we can just go out and not have to pay us when the time comes."

Some people's families are poor and they simply cannot afford the money. Some people are even unwilling to spend the money they have. Everyone is living a tight life.

When the village chief heard this, a hint of dissatisfaction appeared on his face. He spoke in a very serious tone and said directly.

"This is all for our own good. How can it be considered as greed for your money? What are you thinking?"

He really didn't expect these people to be so snobbish. When he thought of this, he was about to explode with anger, and his faces looked gloomy when he saw them.

Lin was distressed about the intention of causing trouble, so when he heard this, he sneered and spoke in a very serious tone, and directly retorted.

"Village chief, you can't look at this matter from your own perspective. Some people in our family just don't have money. What should we do?"

It can be said that everyone knows about her situation. She really doesn't have much money and it's impossible for her to give it out. Some people just want to take advantage of her and don't want to give her anything.

"I won't give it to you either. After all, I don't have much money. Otherwise, I won't give it to you. We can talk about it later. If it really doesn't work out, I'll find a way to get some money together."

"In that case, I won't give it to you. I don't have that much money anyway. Besides, they don't need that much money. They are just colluding to cheat us out of our money!"

In order to avoid paying, some people have already come up with all kinds of reasons, and even the excuses they make are so poor.

Upon hearing this, the village chief's face darkened with anger, and there was a hint of helplessness in his words. He directly spoke back.

"We don't ask for money for anything we do. Besides, they are innocent, so why would they covet our money?"

He wanted to dig open their brains to see what they were thinking. They were already so rich, how could they still be thinking about such a small amount of money?

When Lin heard this, he didn't feel guilty at all. He even spoke directly in front of everyone with a very arrogant attitude.

"Anyway, I won't pay this money. I don't have much money anyway. Everyone knows my family's situation. I'll give it to you if I want."

She would rather keep the money and give it to her children, saying that she would never use it on this. She thought very clearly and thoroughly.

The head of the village was not a particularly generous person to begin with. When he heard this, he felt a little hesitant and spoke directly back.

"Since you don't want to pay, I won't pay either. I don't have much money anyway, but if you need the ability, I can always provide it."

He was very idle now and had nothing to do. If this problem was not resolved, they would not be able to grow crops. It would be better for him to go out and have a look.

At least he could see how much he would have to pay, and he wouldn't be cheated by them. When he thought of this, he felt relieved.

After hearing these words, many people were willing not to pay. Suddenly, many people didn't want to pay anymore, and everyone even blamed Feng Lan.

"I never thought they were so ruthless. Even though they are so rich, they still covet the few coins in our pockets."

After all, everyone knew that they had bought a house in the town before, and now they would definitely not be willing to accept their money.

"How else do you think you could make so much money from a small business? They're targeting us and want our money."

When Lin heard this, she couldn't help but laugh, her eyebrows curved slightly, and then she spoke a word.

"You are right in saying this. You are targeting us and want to take the money in our pockets."

When several people heard this, they became even more dissatisfied. No one was willing to give money, and no one was willing to take care of these matters.

Seeing everyone's strong reactions, the village chief didn't know what to say. He felt helpless and let out a long sigh.

"I really can't give you this money, and there's nothing I can do. Do you want to think of another way?"

Hearing this, Feng Lan didn't expect everyone's reaction to be so intense. She didn't feel too upset and just said something to comfort them.

"Actually, this is nothing. I don't really care. Maybe they'll figure it out in a few days, and then this matter will be easier to handle. Don't be so nervous."

After all, it's all for everyone's good. It's impossible for them to stay like this forever. Sooner or later, they will have to take out the money. After all, the water problem still needs to be properly solved.

The village chief breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. His eyes fell on her face and he couldn't help but make a comment.

"You are so broad-minded. I don't know what else to say. I apologize to these villagers. They didn't mean any harm."
