Chapter 096: Great Reputation
Hula, in the blink of an eye, most of the people at the entrance of Guanyin Temple had already run away.
After all, Shuangliu Village is closest to Shuangqiao Village, and of course, the most people who come here to worship Guanyin are Shuangliu Village. Now, as they run, and others who are watching the fun in the past, will they bring people's hearts away?
Since the opening of Guanyin Temple, their door has never been so deserted!
At this time, Chen Xuran caught another sentence in his ears—
"It turns out that the land temple in Shuangliu Village only cost more than twenty taels? I saw it when I was passing by. Their temple was also quite spacious. The land man was majestic and arrogant, no worse than our Guanyin Temple. So why did our Guanyin Temple cost so much?"
What does it mean is that he thinks that he invested too much money on Guanyin Bodhisattva?
Then the amount of money invested is the money of their Chen family. They invest as much as they like. What qualifications do they have to make trouble? Now they should be content with a ready-made Guanyin to worship them!
Why are these people still not in a good mood now and want more?
Chen Xuran's face darkened after hearing this, and his servant was so angry that he shouted: "You group of things that are blind and have no eyes. What is their Shuangliu Village? What is our Chen family? Don't you know! In order to build this Guanyin Temple, my son went to the county town and chose the best bricks and tiles and the best beams and pillars in the county town. Those things cost a lot of money! Those things were covered by dust from the walls, and you couldn't see anything. Just think that the things are the same as those bricks and tiles that were dragged out from the lower brick kiln in Shuangliu Village? Our things are much more precious than theirs! Don't look at the appearance from the outside now, you will see the difference over the years - our Guanyin Temple is definitely stronger and more durable than their land temple!"
"Chen Wu, forget it." At this time, Chen Xuran said with a tolerant and generous look, "We just need to have a clear conscience in this kind of thing. No matter what, Guanyin Bodhisattva understands us in his heart, that's enough."
"But young master, I feel that you are not worth it!" Chen Wu shouted again, his eyes red with anger.
Chen Xuran shook her head. "Okay, don't think too much. Let's go, my mother said she would come here to worship today. Let's pick her up."
Chen Wu nodded quickly and then followed him with a cold face.
Watching the master and servant leave, the hearts of the villagers sank slightly - after hearing what Chen Xuran said just now, they seemed to blame them because they were really wrong?
But another villager immediately whispered: "Anyway, their Chen family is so rich, and the temple is built with more than 100 taels of silver. So what if they give them more money to build roads in the village? I don't want to have more, just give the same amount as in Shuangliu Village! If he wants to do it, I really think they are good and they are really doing practical things for the people. Otherwise... the Guanyin Temple is the only reputation of their surname Chen, and we as fellow villagers have not gained any benefits!"
After hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
With a Guanyin Temple, their Shuangqiao Village has a much better reputation, but they have different farming areas and have to go back and forth on those scattered roads every day. Face cannot be eaten as food!
So, although the land temple in Shuangliu Village didn’t cost much money, they spent most of the money on road construction. Even though the money was fed by Gao Feng and his wife from Chen Xuran and his son, as Chen Xuran said, since the money is in the hands of others, it is someone else’s, and they spend whatever they want!
So after comparison, Shuangliu Village actually beat them!
These are all the contents of everyone gathering together to whisper.
However, Chen Xuran and his master and servant had not yet gone far away! The countrymen were louder and their whispers only lowered the volume a little, but what they said still penetrated into Chen Xuran's ears without exception.
Chen Xuran had just walked out a few steps and his face was already blue.
Chen Wu was also very angry. "Young Master, they are so shameless! Our family has paid so much money to build a temple, but it will be built in the end! There are also Gao's surname... those two people are so sinister. They actually hid this trick in private, and they didn't explain it in advance! If we had known that they would still build roads, we would definitely save some money and build the roads ahead of them. As a result, now... they are so cunning!"
Chen Xuran had a cold face and didn't say anything for a long time.
After returning home, he walked into the room and closed the door, and then there was a crackling sound inside - he had smashed everything in his room!
But no matter how angry Chen Xuran was in her stomach, it is true that the public's focus has shifted to Shuangliu Village.
Shuangliu Village is a poor village. The roads in the village are bumpy and water accumulates whenever it rains. Even if the children in the village run a little faster when they play, they will trip if they accidentally fall. Because of this, everyone complains a lot.
But complaining is one thing. After complaining, everyone should live their lives as they continue. As for the reason... Of course, there is no money!
As a result, a sudden burst of thunder sounded out of thin air - Gao Feng and Gu Caining and his wife were going to pay for the construction of roads in the village!
So, all the villagers were very happy and went to Gao Feng's house to thank them.
As for where the money for road construction comes from, they care about it! Anyway, the benefits are taken by our own people, and the villagers have all their share, so everyone is proud of them!
"If Feng Ge'er hadn't been awesome in his wife, he would have asked the Chen family for 100 taels at that time. I don't know when the broken road in our village could be built!"
"And the couple are so generous. They didn't keep a penny and donated them all! They are really living Bodhisattvas in our village!"
"That's it! Just for this, the Land Lord should bless them to give birth to a big fat boy!"
...
For a moment, everyone started to praise them without saying anything.
Gao Feng and Shu Chunlan both accepted everyone's blessings openly.
Even, while everyone's hearts were gathered together, they and the village chief announced the next plan: which road surfaces in the village need to be repaired in a key way, how much it will cost, and how much it will cost. As soon as everyone heard it, they knew where the more than 70 taels of silver were spent.
However, someone immediately asked: "I see that the money for road construction is only more than fifty, and the other twenty or twenty taels are all for the craftsmen. If we save this money, can we build more roads?"
"That's right, if you don't give the craftsmen money, how can they do their jobs?" the village chief shook his head quickly.
"If they don't do it, then let's do it ourselves! Anyway, there are no men in our village!" someone said immediately.
When the others heard this, they nodded immediately. "That's right! We don't need craftsmen to help. Now a man is born in the village, that's enough!"
"This idea is not bad!" The village chief nodded when he heard this.
"But..." He immediately thought of another question, "Who will guide us to how to build it without craftsmen? This road construction requires methods!"
The villagers were stunned again.
At this moment, a low voice sounded: "I can do this."
Everyone looked back and their eyes lit up - it was Gao Feng!
