"How much money was robbed?" the village chief asked worriedly.
"Five hundred taels! They robbed me of all my wealth!" Li Qian cried sadly, "And he said that I will still honor them in the future, otherwise, my whole family will be killed!"
The village chief staggered a few steps before standing still.
Five hundred taels, so much.
Although Li Qian paid him a hundred taels of silver, he didn't expect that Li Qian still had so much silver in his hand.
The key point is that what is being robbed is not only Li Qian's money, but also the hope of the village.
This money was used by Li Qi'an for his chalk business. Only when Li Qi'an expands his chalk business can the people in the village make money along with him.
Tiezhu almost lost his footing.
Five hundred taels, my God, how many lifetimes does it take Tie Zhu to earn so much money.
Only Ma Lingling looked at Li Qi'an suspiciously. She felt that Li Qi'an had been able to deal with all the Black Wolf Village bandits who came to the village before, so how could he be robbed so easily?
"Where are these bloody bandits?" the village chief asked angrily, covering his chest.
"They seem to be bandits from Heifengling!" someone in the crowd said, but it was Alai, who also said angrily, "These damn bandits were operating in the south of the county before, why did they come to us? .”
Hearing that they were bandits from Black Wind Ridge, the village chief's expression also changed.
Wasn't that Wanglin Village twenty years ago the same one that was destroyed by Black Wind Ridge?
A bandit's den can exist for twenty years, so he can naturally imagine the terrifying power of this bandit.
Fortunately, no one was killed, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Heifengling! I, Li Qian, will never be at odds with the bandits in Heifengling from now on!" Li Qian gritted his teeth at this time.
But Alai was there and snickered secretly, saying, "You are not in conflict with each other. Let's see how you can never be in conflict with those bandits."
"Qi'an, what are you going to do now?" the village chief asked.
After all, the bandits in Black Wind Ridge are not easy to deal with.
"The bandits can be put aside for now. They robbed me of five hundred taels of silver and will not come back soon. But the chalk business cannot be stopped. Miss Wu has also ordered a lot of goods. If the goods cannot be delivered by then, I will I have to pay her compensation."
Li Qian said with a sad look on his face.
"My family is completely empty now, so I beg all the villagers to help Qi'an. The chalk workshop must continue, but Qi'an may not be able to get the wages for a while, but Qi'an can assure you that once the money is earned, it will be Your wages will be paid to you.”
"Yes, the chalk workshop cannot be stopped. Our village will still have to rely on the chalk workshop in the future. It was fine if we didn't help before, but now we must help Li Qian!" the village chief also said loudly.
The villagers all looked at each other.
Before, they thought they were going to work for Li Qian because they would get paid.
But now Li Qian can't pay his wages. Although he said that he will pay them when he makes money, but when will he make money again?
Although they did sympathize with Li Qi'an, they were a little confused about Bai's work for others.
"The village chief is right. At this time, everyone should help Li Qian." Alai said at this time, "We are all from the same village. If he makes money from his chalk in the future, he will definitely not forget everyone."
"Alai, you don't always like to confront Li Qian, and you often say bad things about him. Why are you so enthusiastic today?" someone couldn't help but ask.
Alai's face rose and he said loudly, "What time is it now? We all belong to the same village. When there is trouble, everyone must help. Usually those are just jokes."
Li Qian stepped forward and patted Alai on the shoulder, "Good brother! I never thought you would be the best to me at this critical moment!"
Alai was patted by Li Qian so hard that his shoulders dropped a bit, although he was a little annoyed that Li Qian used too much force.
But there was still a smile on his face, "Li Qian, although I can't help you make chalk, my sister-in-law and nephew can. Don't worry, they won't ask for a penny from you. They are just helping you."
A woman also stood up with a child in her hands. The woman was the same woman who asked about rice before. Her name was Song, Alai's sister-in-law.
"Yes, our family is right. My children and I can help you for free." At this time, she seemed upright and upright.
"So much work!" Li Qian cupped his hands and said.
The other villagers didn't know what to say. It always seemed strange to them that Alai's family was so proactive.
