After everyone had left, Shen Yuzhu locked the door, untied the dog's leash, and let it move freely in the yard.
Afterwards, they locked the front and back doors tightly and placed a table at the entrance. Inside, they also placed hoes, shovels, and other handy "weapons." After all, with so much money involved, it was best to be cautious.
Fortunately, the night was relatively quiet, and when dawn came, the whole family breathed a sigh of relief.
After leaving Shen Yuzhu's house, the Zhan family and their son were left penniless and in pain all over. They hadn't eaten in almost a day. The villagers had taken all the food from their home, leaving them with nothing to eat.
Now they had no phone and couldn't contact their two daughters. It was the middle of the night, and there was no point in escaping, nor was there the energy to do so. They could only return to their shabby home to sleep and leave tomorrow.
After daybreak, the villagers who were assigned the list began to notify each household according to the list, asking them to go to the brigade for a meeting at 8 o'clock in the evening and not to make it public.
When the villagers who received the notice heard that the village was going to give them money, they were so happy that they didn't know what to say.
They had been oppressed by the Occupied for so long that they didn't even know the word "welfare" existed. This was another major benefit given to them after the village redistributed the land.
After dinner in the evening, the villagers strolled out. When someone asked them what they were going to do, they all laughed it off.
When we arrived at the brigade headquarters, we found about two hundred people there. Everyone's faces were filled with excited and happy smiles. They had forgotten the last time they laughed so happily.
Shen Yuzhu asked two villagers to maintain order outside and direct everyone to line up.
He, the brigade secretary and the accountant were responsible for distributing money and registering matters.
In order to make accounting easier, Shen Yuzhu discussed with other village cadres that originally each household would receive more than 5,800 yuan, but this time each household would be given 5,500 yuan, and the remaining money, about 60,000 yuan, would be used as a reserve fund for the village.
This village was just an empty shell when Shen Yuzhu took over. It would take some time to get the village running normally.
As for how the money will be recorded, he will discuss it with the village leadership team.
The villagers lined up, first found the name of the head of the household in a registration book, and asked the other party to sign. Accountant Wu then distributed the counted money to the villagers.
The money was distributed one by one. The villagers who received the money were all grinning from ear to ear. They counted the money over and over again in the open space, and finally put it in their pockets and went home satisfied.
By the time all the villagers had received their money, it was almost late at night.
