Back then, every household was poor, but they all had three, four, or even five children.
Shiloh made it very clear that anyone who could keep it a secret would receive one hundred dollars.
The couple, along with their children and parents, could receive at least seven or eight hundred yuan.
Seven or eight hundred!
The elderly were also counted as people. Back then, in order to get an extra hundred or two for their own families, brothers and sisters-in-law in every household would quarrel and fight over who should support their parents.
"So you listened to her?" Charleson asked.
"Yes, we wouldn't dare disobey," the village chief nodded.
"Why?"
“Because…” the village chief smiled bitterly.
Back then, Shiloh did want to use money to shut everyone up, but she also knew that some people were insatiable and would never be satisfied.
She put a stack of money back into the box, then picked up the gun next to her and gently stroked it with her fingertips.
Shiloh's expression remained aloof; her voice was soft and pleasant, yet cold.
I like and admire intelligent people. I don't dislike many things, except for wolves, especially ungrateful ones.
She carefully examined the gun in her hand, pointing the muzzle at the trembling crowd.
"As long as you keep your mouths shut, I won't make things difficult for you. We're all just ordinary people, with no grudges against each other, so let's not make things hard for one another. If you can do what I just said, you can take 100 yuan immediately. But if someone can't control themselves, I'll still give them 100 yuan..."
Xi Luo narrowed her beautiful eyes, her cold aura sending chills down one's spine.
She touched her belly and leaned forward slightly: "I'll cook it for him myself."
"..."
The village chief still trembles with fear when he recalls what happened back then.
He swallowed hard several times before cautiously saying, "Although we're not worldly, everyone knows what she has... But her threats are indeed very effective. The most gossipy women in the village are too scared to speak, and they don't even dare to mention some things."
"So they stayed with us for several months. Although she was quite intimidating at first, after getting to know her better, we found that she was a nice person. She just didn't talk much and didn't like to go out. As far as I can remember, she didn't leave the house more than three times during those months."
"Later she gave birth, and instead of going to the town hospital, she had a doctor come to our house to deliver the baby. Oh, by the way, my wife was a nurse at the town hospital back then, and she even went there!"
As he spoke, the village chief hurriedly shouted towards the door, "Old woman, old woman, come quickly!"
"They're here!"
A simply dressed, middle-aged woman with a wrinkled face entered wearing an apron. As she wiped her hands, she asked, "What's wrong?"
As if to prove he wasn't lying, the village chief quickly asked, "Do you remember Miss Luo from our village back then?"
Because they heard Mr. Ji call her Miss Luo when he was young.
"I remember," the village chief's wife nodded. It was the first time she had delivered such a beautiful woman's baby, and she would never forget it.
"Tell me what you know!"
"What could I possibly know?" The village chief's wife said this, but she still recalled earnestly, "That Miss Luo usually seemed unapproachable, but she was really pitiful when she gave birth. Her husband wasn't by her side, and I saw her clutching a picture of a man in her hand. Even though she was in excruciating pain, she didn't want to scream..."
