Chapter 286 Village Chief Sun Asks Goudan for a Seal
Along the way, the folks from Linshan Village greeted Lin Xi enthusiastically, which made the villagers from Sunjia Village very curious. What was the identity of this little girl? Why did the people from Linshan Village treat her so differently?
The head of Sunjia Village rolled his eyes, came to Goudan's grandfather, Sun Tieshuan, and whispered, "Tieshuan, how come the people in Linshan Village have suddenly become so rich? Every household wants to build a big tiled house with blue bricks. I counted the number of bricks, and the house they want to build is not small!"
Sun Tieshuan, who was carrying bricks, wiped the sweat from his forehead and said nonchalantly: "Village chief, what's so strange about this? They must have some way to make money. Money won't just fall from the sky!"
"Tieshuan, your daughter happened to be married to Linshan Village. Why don't you go ask her and see if our village can benefit from it?"
Village Chief Sun moved closer to Sun Tieshuan again, and whispered to him while no one from Linshan Village was around.
"Village chief, I won't go. If you want to find out, go find someone else. Which village doesn't keep their money-making businesses secret? If they tell us, how can they make money? For example, in our village, if I pass on the method of making bricks to my daughter and ask her to teach it to the people of Linshan Village, what will you do?"
Sun Tieshuan glanced at the village chief and flatly rejected his request.
If he went to ask his daughter, and she really told him the secret of how Linshan Village made money, and if the people in Linshan Village knew about it, wouldn't his daughter be divorced and sent back home?
She is his precious daughter, he would never harm his own daughter like this!
As soon as the daughter knew that her husband's village needed to buy bricks, she recommended her own village. He was already very satisfied. After selling these bricks, they would have food for this winter and next spring. If their family worked harder and grew some good crops, having enough food would not be a problem.
"Of course not. We rely on making bricks to support our families. If every village learns how to do it, how can we make money?"
After Village Chief Sun finished speaking, he was stunned. He was unwilling to teach his village's way of making money to Linshan Village. The people of Linshan Village must have the same idea as him and would not reveal their way of making money.
But he felt unwilling to give up. He was really jealous of the prosperity of Linshan Village. Sun Tieshuan, the stubborn man, would definitely not go to his daughter to inquire about the news. He had to think of other ways.
After thinking about it, he no longer paid attention to Sun Tieshuan who was working hard, nor did he help unload bricks. He followed the village road and strolled in Linshan Village!
"Little kid, come here, come here, I'll give you some candy!"
When Village Chief Sun walked to the door of Goudan's house, Goudan had just come out to take out the garbage. Seeing Village Chief Sun waving at him, Goudan threw the garbage away, ran to Village Chief Sun, tilted his head and looked at him with a puzzled look.
Village Chief Sun put on a kind smile, stuffed the candy in his hand into Goudan's hand, and coaxed him, "Little boy, what's your name?"
Goudan looked down at the candy in his hand, a cunning look flashed in his eyes, he raised his head and looked at Village Chief Sun innocently and said: "My name is Goudan, who are you, Grandpa?"
"I am the head of Sunjia Village. Today I am bringing the villagers to deliver bricks to your village."
When Village Chief Sun heard Goudan's name, he was delighted. What a coincidence! He didn't expect that he would run into Sun Tieshuan's grandson while just strolling around.
"Oh! Hello, Grandpa Sun. I see there are still a lot of bricks that have not been unloaded. Grandpa Sun must be very busy. I won't waste your time. Go and get busy!"
After saying this, Goudan turned around and was about to go home.
Village Chief Sun saw this and pulled him aside, saying with a smile, "I've just done a lot of work and I'm a little tired. Let me rest here for a while. Goudan, I remember your village was very poor before. How come it's so rich now that every household can build a big brick and tile house?"
Goudan did not answer Village Chief Sun's words, but stared at his bulging pockets.
Seeing this, Village Chief Sun took out another piece of candy from his pocket, handed it to Goudan, and said with a smile: "Good boy, grandpa will give you candy. Can you chat with grandpa for a while?"
Goudan took the candy, said "OK" sweetly, then squatted next to Village Chief Sun and started chatting with him.
"Goudan, how could your family afford to build such a nice house?"
"Because we have money at home!"
"Where did your family get so much money? I remember your mother went back to her parents' home to ask for food a while ago!"
"Of course we earned it ourselves! My mother has sent food to grandpa's house several times recently, and she has returned all the food she asked grandpa for before!"
"How did you earn all this money?"
"Of course we earned it with our hard-working hands!"
......
The old man and the boy squatted beside Goudan's house and chatted. After chatting for a while, Village Chief Sun discovered that the kid looked honest, but was actually very cunning. No matter how he asked, the kid just wouldn't reveal the way their Linshan Village made money.
He thought for a moment, and then said to Goudan earnestly, "Goudan, does your grandpa love you every day?"
"Of course he loves me. Every time I go there, grandpa takes out the candies he has hidden and gives them to me to eat!"
Goudan looked at Village Chief Sun and said with his eyes blinking.
"If your grandpa could earn more money, could he buy you more delicious food?"
Village Chief Sun continued to coax him.
"Yes, it would be better if my grandpa could make more money!"
Goudan nodded his head and looked at Village Chief Sun with approval.
"Goudan, as long as you tell Grandpa Sun how to make money in your village, and Grandpa Sun tells your grandpa when he goes back, your grandpa will be able to make more money. In the future, when you go to Sunjia Village, you can ask your grandpa for anything delicious you want to eat!"
"Then I'll find a chance to tell Grandpa secretly, so I won't bother Grandpa Sun to pass on the message."
Goudan had an expression that said “thank you for your hard work” and spoke politely to Village Chief Sun.
Village Chief Sun felt his pocket and found that most of the candies in his pocket had been taken away by the annoying kid, but he didn't get any useful information at all.
He looked at Goudan who was happily eating candy, stood up angrily and said, "Goudan, I didn't expect you to be so dishonest. Grandpa Sun has given you so many candies to eat, and when I asked you something, you still hid it and didn't tell Grandpa Sun!"
