Capítulo 210: Chapter 208: Relying On (2)_1

Lou Zheng noticed the sudden change in everyone's faces and felt a secret sense of satisfaction. If it were before, he really wouldn't have had the courage to refuse, as the position of village chief did bring quite a bit of income to his family every year. But now it was different; each of his relatives, excluding him and his grandchildren who were idle men, were bringing home more than one tael of silver every month.

If he really stopped being the village chief, he could find some work in the Lin Family and make two taels of silver at the least every month.

Reflecting about this, Lou Zheng began to think that it may be a good thing to relieve himself of these burdens.
