Chapter 494: The w.a.n.g Family Is Doing Well
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
When Old Madam w.a.n.g returned, the w.a.n.g Family became lively again.
The villagers of Hu Family Village ran over and saw the two carriages brought back by Old Madam w.a.n.g. They realized that other than the Qin Family’s carriage, there was another one.
It looked no different from the outside, but the inside was a little luxurious.
On this snowy day, the inside of the carriage was filled with warm rabbit fur. There were also various secret compartments on the roof of the carriage. It was unknown what was inside.
Initially, they thought that the two coachmen had been hired by the w.a.n.g Family. Later on, they found out that they had been bought by the w.a.n.g Family.
“Oh my G.o.d, Old man w.a.n.g’s family is really rich. Their family can already buy servants, but we’re still b.u.mpkins.” Someone said with a hint of jealousy. He couldn’t help but be envious.
Beside him, his wife pinched him hard. “You’re starting to be jealous of others living better lives now that our quality of life has improved? You can’t have such a mentality!”
“Wifey, wifey, be gentle. I’m just saying. I didn’t say that Old man w.a.n.g’s family isn’t worthy!” That person looked innocent. “Old man w.a.n.g’s family is kind to begin with. It’s just that those boys in their family ate too much and made the family poor. Now that their Dalang is about to get married, isn’t it normal for the w.a.n.g Family to rise up?”
The others nodded.
That was indeed true. Even in the surrounding villages, there weren’t any families as good as the w.a.n.g Family. Everyone behaved conservatively and secretly lived their lives. If they knew any way to make a fortune, they would definitely not spread it.
However, Old man w.a.n.g’s family was different. Their Chuanman found high-quality grain seeds and shared them with the villagers immediately.
If not for Old man w.a.n.g’s family, they would still be eating chaff sh.e.l.ls, not to mention rice and flour. They might only be able to eat one meal a day.
Now, even the worst-off families in the village could still eat their fill. If they wanted to do something, even if they couldn’t gather enough money for a while, the surrounding neighbors would be willing to lend them money.
After all, as long as the food was secured, the money could be returned.
It was not like in the past, when money lent out was like giving a meat bun to a dog. It was definitely impossible to get it back.
“Everyone, disperse. Don’t stand here. Don’t you have any relatives to visit?” Village Chief Hu came over to chase them away. “Why are you surrounding the w.a.n.g Family all day? Go do what you have to do.”
Someone chuckled. “I just want to take a look at the w.a.n.g Family. I feel that if we see them live a good life, our hearts will light up.”
These were all people who had once helped the w.a.n.g Family with all their might. They did not have many thoughts and were only happy for the w.a.n.g Family.
The w.a.n.g Family had never forgotten them either. The cane sugar workshop in the village was not led by the w.a.n.g Family. It was a business that belonged to the village. These people also received some dividends. If nothing unexpected happened, they could slowly rise up.
Now, the villagers of Hu Family Village were buying land one after another. There was no longer enough land in their village, so they all started buying land from the other villages.
Village Chief Hu had already applied to reclaim the land around Hu Family Village and expand the road from Hu Family Village to Nanhe Town and Yongding County to make the road smoother.
In the future, the path from the village to the town and to the county city would be smoother than before, and it would take less time to travel.
The villagers surrounded them for a while before dispersing. They now understood that if ordinary b.u.mpkins like them wanted a way out, they had to either give birth to a lucky star like Ah Yu or let their children study hard.
Look at the w.a.n.g Family’s Chuangui. After he became a county scholar, how much tax was exempted from their family?
If they acc.u.mulated it over the years, wouldn’t it be much more than the tuition fees they paid?
This was a real benefit..
