My old attack is the snake king

Chapter 72

After packing up the luggage he needed to bring, Jiang Chu went to find the worker who repaired the leak in his woodshed. Bai Qingheng went back to his demon world to deal with the matter, and came to him when he said it was settled.

Years ago, it was not easy to do work. When the workers heard that they had money to earn, they rushed to Tianmiao Town to repair the house.

Tianmiao Town

Hearing that there were people coming from the city, the mayor of the town was waiting at the entrance of the town wearing a heavy cotton coat early in the morning. There were also the heads of three villages, and a few good-looking young people as the face of the town.

When Jiang Chu brought people here, he was really surprised to see such a grand scene.

When the old mayor saw that the leader was so young, well-dressed, and there were no wounds on his hands, he didn't know the purpose of the magistrate for sending this person.

But behind him there were really five workers with dark faces, calluses on their hands, and tools.

"Mayor, hello, I am the supervisor sent by the magistrate, you can call me Xiao Jiang."

Jiang Chu didn't want to say his name. After all, he was a well-known gangster in Tanzhou. If others found out, he would definitely not trust him with this matter.

"Okay, Young Master Xiao."

"..." Does he have an accent?

The mayor saw that he did not have the arrogance of the people in the city at all, so he took him to his home and described to him the specific conditions of the five families in Tianmiao Town.

These five households are in three villages, two of which are in Xiaoliu Village. These two households are typical poor households. There are only old people and children in the family. It is very unfortunate that the adults encountered accidents while working outside.

There are two households in Zhangjia Village, one of which is in the same situation as the first two households, and the other is an elderly person who lives alone and has a very old and stupid son who is not yet married, and the house is leaking and the stupid son can't fix it.

The last household is in Xiaotian Village.

Seeing that Jiang Chu understood, Jiang Chu decided to repair the houses of two poor households in Xiaoliu Village tomorrow, and then go to other villages if he has more time.

The head of Xiaoliu Village was about forty years old, he took the lead to take a few people to see the current situation of the houses, and when he walked into the dilapidated village, Jiang Chu was really shocked.

The houses in this village are basically made of earth, only a few of them are brick houses, and even some people here wear dirty cotton clothes, and the children are all unkempt.

A few children were playing and groping, but the child ran directly into Jiang Chu's arms, stroking and stroking.

"This child, why are you running?" An adult quickly pulled the child away, for fear of dirtying the nobles from the city.

"Whose family's child is groping around, take it away!" Someone shouted.

"It's okay, they are all children." Jiang Chu looked at everything in front of him and waved to the child. The child showed fear and hid behind the adults. Even other children hid behind him when they saw him.

"Master Xiao, are you alright?" the head of Xiaoliu Village asked.

Jiang Chu smiled and waved his hands: "How can something happen if a child touches it?"

This village is very small, and he can see all the houses when he walks in. Of course, he also saw the two poor families.These two families were very close to each other. One had a window dropped, but the other didn't find anything abnormal.

Walking into a house with no abnormalities, the temperature inside was basically the same as the outside. When I raised my head, there was actually a big hole in the top of my head.

The old man was still cooking, when he saw a stranger at home, "Who are you, do you even enter the old lady's house?"

Before Jiang Chu could speak, the village chief said, "This is the one sent by the magistrate to repair your house." He pointed to Jiang Chu behind him.

The old lady sat up "teng" and picked up the fire stick beside her, the wrinkles on her face became even more distorted: "You still dare to come? It has been more than ten days since the subsidy was issued, and I haven't seen the money yet. Where is the money? Have you swallowed it?"

The village chief's face changed slightly. It's fine to talk about it in the village on weekdays, but the people above actually said so.

"Mrs. Liu, calm down." The village chief could only comfort her first.

"Calm down? I can't do anything without money, go drink the northwest wind?" The old lady glanced at Jiang Chu, and then said: "The people who come from the city are different from us ordinary people. Look at what they are wearing, and how cute they are." Pretty!"

Jiang Chu could hear the sarcasm in the man's tone, "What are you talking about? The subsidy is on the way, and it will be ready in a few days."

"Wait? Then let us, grandparents and grandchildren, drink the northwest wind for a few days? No matter, you must give us some silver taels today, or you will go to Beijing to sue you."

Jiang Chu instantly became speechless. At that time Jiang Qiucheng told him that it was not easy to treat him, and it was true.

"Mrs. Liu, today this person is here to mend the roof, and it's none of his business to pay the subsidy."

"Then isn't he sent from above? He must be rich, right?"

It is rare for the people outside to see the people in the city, so they gathered around the courtyard for a while.

"Hey, what are you all doing at my house?" A sixteen or seventeen-year-old dark-skinned boy pushed aside the crowd and walked into his house swaggeringly.

"Liu Gen, someone repaired the roof of your house today." Someone said.

Hearing this, the boy hurried into the house.

Jiang Chu saw that the person was about the same age as himself, tall and strong, and when he ran in, he felt like the wind was blowing on his feet, so he thought he was here to distribute the subsidy.

"grandmother."

When the old lady saw her grandson, she showed a rare kind smile.

"I don't know what kind of work this young master is doing?" Jiang Chu looked at Liu Gen and asked with a smile.

"Working? My family doesn't even do any work in the fields?" Liu Gen didn't like Jiang Chu at first sight. The people in front of him were dressed in bright clothes, and he was dressed like a beggar.

Mrs. Liu kept her grandson behind her, "Our livelihood is a problem now, yet we still haven't paid the subsidy!"

Liu Gen was not happy when he heard that the subsidy hadn't been paid yet, "I thought the money was coming, but it turned out that nothing was sent, not even rice, so why are you here? Come and express your condolences!"

The village chief walked up to Liu Gen and laughed, "This kid is really straightforward."

Hearing this, Jiang Chu sneered: "Village Chief, your so-called 'children' are a bit old!" After speaking, he turned and left the family.

The village chief suddenly understood, glared at the grandparents and grandson behind him, and ran after him.

Jiang Chu was exhausted physically and mentally, he really couldn't think of what the other family would be like.

This household is obviously different from the other household. Grandchildren and granddaughters are present in the house.The grandson is estimated to be seven or eight years old, and the granddaughter is even younger.

There was a big hole in the window, and the roof seemed to be crumbling.It may collapse if you are not careful.

Traces of previous repairs can be seen in the room.

"Are you the young man sent by the magistrate?" This old lady was different from the one just now, her tone was full of distrust, but she didn't mock him.

This comforted Jiang Chu in his heart.

"Ma'am, this is the son." Even the village chief spoke kindly to the old lady.

"Hello, I am the supervisor sent by the magistrate to repair the house, just call me Xiao Jiang."

Jiang Chu began to introduce himself, and the old lady nodded.

"Grandma, may I ask, I see that there seems to be repair marks on the window, who repaired it?"

A piece of cloth was stapled to the window.

"The three of us did it. My grandchildren said it was cold, and I can't help it. I usually help others wash clothes in the town, but how can that money be enough to repair the roof?"

Jiang Chu nodded. After learning about the situation of this house, in the afternoon, he took the five people to the second house first, pulled the wood, soil, ladders and newly bought windows, and took the lead in installing new windows and houses for the second house. top.

After all, these five people were familiar with each other, but they were all well within an hour.

The grandparents and grandsons expressed their gratitude to the few of them and wanted to treat them to dinner, but Jiang Chu refused their invitation because there was still another family that needed to be repaired.

When Mrs. Liu saw that they had finished the repairs, she wanted to hit Jiang Chu hard, otherwise the roof would not be repaired.

"Really?" Jiang Chu smiled.

People around accused Mrs. Liu one after another, but Mrs. Liu felt that she had a reason: "You were sent by the magistrate, if you can't finish the job, don't even think about making a job."

Jiang Chu sighed and waved his hands, he was not afraid: "It doesn't matter."

The five workers did not dare to repair the roof without Jiang Chu's instruction, "Master?"

"Let's go to Zhangjia Village."

Seeing this, Liu Gen ran forward to stop a few people, "Are you really not cultivating?"

Jiang Chu waved his hand: "Your grandma won't let you repair, how can I do it?"

Mrs. Liu didn't expect that the young people nowadays are so courageous, and they didn't complete the task assigned by the magistrate, so they gave up doing it.

"I'll let you fix it, go fix it." Liu Gen stepped forward and grabbed Jiang Chu's sleeve.

Jiang Chu pulled out his sleeves, cleared his throat, and said, "I'm really sorry, I'm not going to repair your house anymore, if you want to file a complaint, go to the magistrate or magistrate? Let them find someone to come."

The people watching the excitement did not expect the people from the city to be so courageous, even courageous.

There was a little girl who couldn't stand it any longer, and ran forward and said, "Brother, my house is also leaking, why did you pick them alone?"

Jiang Chu didn't know why, but the village chief took him there.

When I came to the little girl's house, there was indeed an air leak from the roof. On the bed was the sick mother, covered with a dark quilt. She might feel cold, and there were a few cotton padded clothes on the quilt.

"Momo, is there someone coming from the city?" The mother's hoarse voice sounded.

The little girl is called Mo Mo, and she is only nine years old this year.

The village head gave the village two quotas for subsidizing houses and asked the whole village to vote.

Jiang Chu never knew that such a situation would happen. No wonder Jiang Qiucheng gave him more than five times the usual money for repairing the house.

The second family's house is indeed crumbling, and the windows still have obvious patches. Most people in the village voted for their family.But the first household was entirely voted by Liu Gen mobilizing his friends, and their family did have holes, so everyone voted for them.

"I think your mother is suffering from a cold, so hurry up and find a doctor. Don't drag it into a serious illness."

But where do they have money for medical treatment?Jiang Chu had no choice but to go to the doctor himself, the doctor gave medicine after seeing the illness, and Jiang Chu gave the money before leaving.

Afterwards, he hurriedly mended the roof for others. Jiang Chu sat aside, watching the five construction workers, feeling a sense of exhaustion in his heart.

She silently stepped forward and brought him a cup of hot water. She washed this cup more than a dozen times, just because she was afraid that her brother would dislike him.

"Brother drink water."

After Jiang Chu took it, he silently went to the neighbor's house to borrow a few cups, washed them again and again, and waited for the busy uncles to come after receiving the hot water.

Looking at the busy figure of the little girl, Jiang Chu couldn't tell what it was like.
