It is not yet certain whether Audrey will be happy or not in the future, but in the more than a month after Xiang Ying left, Audrey's fate became extremely tragic.
Since ancient times, money has fascinated people, let alone a full eighty thousand francs!
What can 80,000 francs do in this day and age? In fact, if you calculate the gold standard system, you will understand. In 1803, France implemented a gold and silver bistandard system. One franc was stipulated by the franc to be equivalent to 0.2903225 grams of gold.
Calculated in this way, ten thousand francs is equivalent to more than 2,900 grams of gold, so this purchasing power becomes more vivid.
In Paris at that time, one franc could buy an adult man a day's food and lodging, and the food was pretty good.
Ten thousand francs can definitely buy an apartment in Paris. If you insist on buying a villa in an aristocratic residential area, then fifty thousand francs is enough.
This is Paris, or Paris after real estate prices have inflated after the French emperor's major renovation. In other places in France, apartments in provincial capitals can be bought for just a few thousand francs.
In a poor village like the one where Audrey lived, 80,000 francs could already buy the entire village's land, and by the way, all the cheese and olive oil workshops in the village.
If there is still some leftover, there is no problem in buying three more wineries in the next village. This shows how much money these 80,000 francs are for Audrey's family.
The mother and father had long forgotten that their daughter was insulted. They were fascinated by the gold. They spent all day thinking about how to buy property. They even secretly went there every night to scatter and bury the gold coins. .
The faces of the people in the village also gradually changed. People no longer loved each other as usual, let alone simple. Everyone looked at Audrey's family in the wrong way.
People are always whispering in the streets. Once they see Audrey coming out to play, people will shut up like lightning and just look at her without speaking.
Audrey didn't know what was wrong. Grandma Martha, who used to love joking with him the most, would stuff the sweetest cheese into her mouth whenever she saw her, but why didn't she speak today.
Grandpa Joseph, who raised horses, used magic to pull out an apple for Audrey every time, but when he saw her, he sighed, shook his head and walked away.
Of course, there are also those friends who have been playing together since childhood. The boys who used to chase after her skirt all looked at her with incomparable hatred.
But those girls who were jealous of her looked at her from a distance and chewed their ears with evil smiles!
Everything is different. Audrey's life has completely changed. Although there are many delicacies on her dining table that she has never seen before, the food is tasteless.
His father brought him a pearl necklace from the market, but it lost its former glory.
Until one night, Audrey was woken up from her sleep. He put his ear on the door and heard the quarrel between the village chief grandfather and his father. It turned out that the village had already discussed it and asked his father to spend 10,000 francs to build a road leading to the road. The road outside, as well as the mill and well in the village, also need to be rebuilt.
Ten thousand francs, what a huge sum of money, of course the parents would not agree. There was a serious quarrel between the two parties, and the father and the village chief kept bargaining.
It seems that in the end, the father was only willing to give 6,000 francs, but the village chief's limit was 8,000 francs. The end result was that they broke up on bad terms, and the mother was still crying on the ground like a spoiler.
Why is this happening? Audrey has never seen her kind and beautiful mother behave like a shrew. Why did she bite the village chief on the arm in the end?
The world has changed, and Audrey doesn't understand. What makes her even more confused is that the glass in her house was broken that night. Audrey saw with her own eyes that it was the village chief's grandson, her playmate Joey.
The Joey who had long legs, ran fast, and dreamed of being a postman...the Joey who pursued her!
Audrey huddled up in the quilt and stayed awake all night. He held the cuffs of two sapphires in his hands. At this moment, only these two gems could give her a sense of security.
An even more terrifying thing happened. The angry father left home and went to the market the next day. When his father came home, Audrey discovered that there was a tall horse in the house, and there was actually a shotgun on the table in the living room!
Minnie bullets were stuffed into the cowhide armed belt one after another. The father was clumsily learning how to operate this murderous weapon. The fearful expressions of the villagers flashed outside the window...
Suddenly there was a muffled bang... the bullet shattered the glass from the inside and flew into the village. The scared villagers screamed strangely. It turned out that the father didn't know how to shoot at all, he had misfired!
From the day this village can remember, there has never been a weapon as lethal as a gun. The only conflict in the old man's memory was that two drunkards cut their arms with sickles and shovels many years ago.
But Audrey's family had guns, and now everything changed. The remaining families began to unite and conspire to teach this bastard a lesson.
No one cares about where Audrey's family's money comes from. In just one month, Audrey has gone from an angel in the past to an incompetent woman.
"That bitch is the official who deliberately seduced him. She probably sneaked out of the village during the day, went to the road to show off, and seduced the Chinese official..."
"You're still pretending to be a bitch, pretending to look like you've been raped pitifully, bah..."
"That's right, I went in that day and I didn't even see any blood-stained sheets...it means this little bitch is no longer a virgin!"
People all showed the same expression, smiling dirtyly, and even secretly imagined what kind of posture Audrey used to serve the official of Shangguo that night.
"It must be with your mouth...that little bitch has a small mouth and is wrapped tightly!"
"I guess he meows very hard, just like a cat in spring..."
"Hahaha... look at her thin waist, she can probably twist off a man's thing..."
The long-tongued women burst into laughter, but the eyes of the boys who were eavesdropping behind them exuded an evil light!
The monk can touch it, but I can't? Their childhood sweetheart and first love actually exuded an indescribable evil fire from their hearts, and the way they looked at Audrey was no longer so pure.
The little girl didn't know that if it weren't for the shotgun in her father's hand, she would have been humiliated a hundred times by these boys.
Can a shotgun protect a family? Don't forget that there are three hundred people in this village. Audrey's family has caused public outrage, and the old village chief began to gather adult men together secretly.
A violent action against Audrey's family is about to take shape!
"We will start our operation the night after tomorrow. When everyone in his house is asleep, we suddenly rush in... With just a gun, how many people can be killed? While he is hitting the ammunition, we can hack them to death..."
"The body will be thrown into the sea to feed the sharks. No one will care that there is one less person in our village. As long as we all speak the same language, no one can do anything to us..."
"Audrey can't be kept... let the young people live happily and then throw them into the sea. It's this *witch who has brought such a disaster to our village!"
"If this happened in the past, she would have been burned at the stake and burned alive as a witch! Drowning her would be an advantage for him!"
"Take action, don't be afraid of death... If someone is disabled and dies, you will never lose to their family when the money is divided!"
"Eighty thousand francs! A full eighty thousand francs! We are rich..."
