Wang Dahua threw a tantrum and tried to snatch the items.
Unexpectedly, the villagers, who had been envious, suddenly swarmed over and blocked her way.
What are you doing!
Wang Dahua was both angry and anxious.
Zhu Zi spoke first: "What are you doing? If we don't stop you, are we just going to watch you steal things in front of everyone?"
"Exactly! And they even said the things in the field belong to your family? That's bullshit!"
"This land belongs to Weidong, so the things on it must also belong to him. What business is it of yours?"
"You shameless family! You're just jealous of other people getting rich, aren't you?"
"Dare to steal Wei Dong's things? That's like going against our entire village!"
"right!"
Everyone protected Li Weidong and glared angrily at Wang Dahua.
Li Weidong was moved: "Thank you everyone."
"No need to thank me!"
Li Baotian said, "What everyone said is right. This thing originally belonged to you. What does it have to do with her family?"
Then she glared at Wang Dahua and said, "Wang Dahua, this land was mortgaged by Hu Zi himself, and the name on the land deed was changed by your husband himself."
"No matter what's dug up from underground, it belongs to Weidong and has nothing to do with your family. If you dare to cause trouble again, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Wang Dahua knew in her heart that he was right, and now seeing everyone protecting Li Weidong, she was completely desperate.
Tiger was so angry he gritted his teeth.
Just then, Li Weidong suddenly said, "Actually, although this jar of silver dollars was found on my homestead, in the end, it belongs to our entire village."
He declared loudly, "Since all my uncles and fellow villagers have been so protective of me, and the items were discovered by everyone together, I certainly won't keep them all to myself."
"Let the village chief distribute this jar of silver dollars to everyone!"
The crowd erupted in an uproar.
No one could believe their ears.
These silver dollars are antiques, worth a lot of money if sold. Such a large jar, and you just divide it up like that?!
Even Li Baotian found it hard to believe.
"Wei Dong, are you... are you serious?!"
"Of course it's true."
Li Weidong laughed: "When have I ever lied to you?"
Although Zhao Xiulian was somewhat reluctant, she was not a petty person, and besides, Li Weidong had made a decision, so she wouldn't say anything more.
He nodded in agreement, saying, "Since Wei Dong has said so, let's all share it together!"
In an instant, cheers erupted into the sky.
Everyone present was overjoyed, and their praises were endless.
"What did I tell you? Wei Dong is like a god from heaven, sent to help our village live a better life!"
"What kind of celestial being is that? If you ask me, even a celestial being isn't as good as Wei Dong!"
"Yes, yes, Weidong is a living bodhisattva. He led us to a better life and now he remembers us when good things happen."
"I've lived most of my life, and this is the first time I've met such a good person as Weidong. He must have seen how hard our lives are and sent Weidong to help us out!"
Some of the older people were even moved to tears.
At Li Weidong's call, everyone lined up and began to receive their silver dollars, each one beaming with joy.
Wang Dahua was both angry and jealous, and she also wanted to join the queue to get it.
Li Weidong scoffed, "Sorry, you don't have any. After all, Tiger just kept saying that the stuff in here is bad and that touching it will bring bad luck!"
Everyone burst into laughter.
Some people even mocked, "Wei Dong is a living Buddha in our village. How could anything dirty possibly be dug up from his house site?"
"But I think if this land is still in your hands, it might really be dirty stuff. But if it's in Weidong's hands, dirty stuff will turn into treasure. Who knows!"
The crowd laughed even louder.
Wang Dahua was so angry that she almost fainted from choking.
Zhao Shunqiang couldn't bear the embarrassment, so he pulled her away.
As Hu Zi was leaving, he glared fiercely at Li Weidong, his eyes filled with a chilling mix of jealousy and resentment.
Li Weidong didn't care at all, and instead said with a smile, "Speaking of which, I should thank you, Tiger, for mortgaging this plot of land!"
"Otherwise, I wouldn't have been so lucky to get such a big jar of silver coins. For this reason, I'll give you one silver coin."
After saying that, he took a silver dollar and threw it at Hu Zi.
As luck would have it, it hit Tiger on the forehead, instantly turning a red patch and drawing laughter.
The silver dollar fell to the ground.
Tiger glared coldly at Li Weidong, gritting his teeth: "You just wait!"
That night, neither Tiger nor his family could sleep.
Zhao Shunqiang was so angry that he couldn't even eat.
He, who is usually taciturn, unexpectedly lost his temper today.
"What did I tell you?"
He pointed at Hu Zi and cursed, "I told you not to do this last year, but you insisted on going against Li Weidong. Now look what happened!"
"Not only are you drowning in debt, but you also mortgaged your perfectly good homestead for a huge jar of silver dollars!"
Zhao Shunqiang was so angry that he was panting heavily when he thought about how Li Weidong had distributed all those silver dollars to the villagers and earned a good reputation for them.
Wang Dahua echoed, "When he brought the mortgage contract over before, I said that the little beast couldn't possibly have any good intentions!"
"And yet you all say he's helping our family indirectly. Who is Li Weidong anyway?"
She pointed to the sky and cursed, "He's a shrewd person, every single hair of his head exudes intelligence. Would he do a losing business? I knew something was wrong back then."
"If we don't change the name on the land deed, that jar of silver dollars will belong to our family!"
