A stunning mermaid dressed in the 1980s, the whole family lined up to pamper her endlessly.

Chapter 324

As expected of Yun Jiao, she is a true warrior.

"Of course, in return, Yun Jiao brought back some of his things."

The village chief coughed twice and continued.

Very good, now everyone knows where that money came from.

What did they bring back? They even managed to rebuild and expand the village temple and ancestral hall.

It's important to know that these two places are the largest in the entire village, and they were also the best built by our ancestors.

"We sold those things for a total of 60,000."

"What?!!!"

"Sixty thousand!!!"

The people below couldn't sit still any longer. It was over 60,000 yuan! Their entire family hadn't saved more than 10,000 yuan in all these years!

You should know that nowadays, people who have 10,000 yuan can be featured in the newspaper and receive praise.

To this day, no one in their village has earned more than 10,000 yuan.

Of course, Yun Jiao's family was also unwilling to take the lead. Being a "ten-thousand-yuan household" sounded good, but there were many more hidden dangers behind it.

They have many secrets in their family, so it's not appropriate for them to be the first to speak out.

Therefore, it's easy to imagine how much impact this 60,000 has on everyone.

Even though the village chief shouted for quiet several times, his voice was drowned out by the excited shouts of the crowd.

Some lazy people with ulterior motives even secretly cursed and swore.

"What an idiot! He has this money and doesn't even keep it for himself to repair the village temple and ancestral hall. Why didn't I have such good fortune?"

"Sixty thousand! That's sixty thousand, not six hundred yuan. The Yunlin Hai family is really generous."

Although many people secretly thought they were incredibly stupid, they also admired them.

If they had that money, they definitely wouldn't have given it up.

"Quiet down, everyone. Do you want to listen anymore?"

This time, it was the village party secretary who spoke up, and he quickly calmed the villagers down.

"Lin Hai, come and tell everyone why you're taking out this money."

Yun Linhai stood up nervously. This was something the village chief and the village party secretary had discussed with them beforehand, and he had to come out and speak.

Yun Linhai had memorized his speech in advance, but he was so nervous that he forgot everything.

"Um, um... I'm not good with words, let my nephew Chen Nan do it." Then he slunk away.

village head:…………

Village Party Secretary: …………

Yun Chennan: …………

Others: …………

Helpless, Yun Chennan still stood up.

He wasn't nervous at all; he had given a speech in front of the entire school before.

"Dear uncles and aunts, you must be wondering why we would take out all the money to build the village temple and ancestral hall."

He emphasized the word "all" to tell everyone that his family had left no money and had given it all to the village chief.

"One reason is that my sister Yunjiao came back after going to the village temple and ancestral hall that day and said that the house was dilapidated and that the goddess Mazu, the Dragon King, and other gods and our ancestors would definitely not be comfortable living there. They would be afraid of those gods and our ancestors and would not be happy. They would not be willing to protect our safety when we go out to sea in the future."

This statement is naturally an artistic embellishment; in reality, Yun Jiao's main concern was to ensure the safety of her family members at sea.

But in Yun Chennan's mouth, it became a concern for everyone. The idea that Mazu wouldn't protect everyone was something that people living by the sea absolutely couldn't say.

Otherwise, even the best relationship can turn sour.

This is even more serious than directly swearing at someone in front of them.

"It was quite a coincidence. I don't know if it was the guidance of the Goddess Mazu, but when Jiaojiao went out to sea and played with the orcas, she went to a relatively deep part of the seabed."

Then they discovered the skeleton, which was from an unknown number of years ago, and it was adorned with gold ornaments and gemstones.

Jiaojiao had heard us say that after death, people hope to return to their roots and be buried in peace. She remembered that, so she pitied the remains and carried them to the bottom of the sea, burying them on a small island. As for those things, consider them her funeral expenses.

“But since it was taken from a dead person, no one in our family dared to keep it. Jiaojiao said she wanted to repair the village temple and ancestral hall so that our ancestor, Mazu, could live there happily. This way, our villagers could be better protected when they go out to sea in the future.”

"So after discussing it with our whole family, we went to the village chief and sold those things. We donated all the money to the village to rebuild and expand the village temple and ancestral hall. The remaining money will be used to build roads in the village in the future, or to help the poor elderly in the village, or to help the children who cannot afford to go to school."

"That's all I can say. If you have any questions, the village chief and the village party secretary will try their best to answer them."

Very good, this has once again drawn everyone's attention to the village chief and the village party secretary.

"Village chief, when will the repairs start?"

"Wow, that's a lot of money! It feels like a dream."

“Village chief, my family has no money, but I have plenty of strength. Although we can't contribute money to the construction of the village temple and ancestral hall, we can still contribute our labor.”

“Yes, village chief, we have no money, but we have plenty of strength.”

Many people followed suit and responded.

The village chief nodded in satisfaction. Most of the people were still good and had a conscience.

Of course, there are bound to be a few bad apples everywhere.

The village chief glanced at a few villagers who weren't exactly good people, whose eyes were darting around, and who seemed to be plotting something.

“That’s what I think too. Since Qian Yunjiao’s family helped us solve this, we should all lend a hand so that Mazu and our ancestors can know that we are not the kind of people who would cheat or shirk our responsibilities.”

"We have already contacted people to buy materials, and part of the money for the materials has already been paid. My son will show everyone the bill later."

The remaining money was deposited in the bank with the village secretary. We'll withdraw it when needed and keep track of the expenses so everyone can monitor its use. This money must be used effectively!

The village party secretary also stepped forward: "This is a good thing. As long as everyone works together, Bailong Village will get better and better, and the children's lives will get better and better."

Starting tomorrow, all the able-bodied men in the village will go to the village temple and ancestral hall to remove all the statues and tablets of the gods, and then dismantle and rebuild the temple.

"Of course, we must also commend our young comrade Yun Jiao and her family for their selflessness."

Led by the village party secretary, everyone applauded.

Yun Linhai and the others could only nod and smile.

After the meeting ended, the family was surrounded again and bombarded with questions.

Yun Jiao and her brothers slipped out of the crowd and ran away.

Social interactions among adults should naturally be left to adults to handle.

"Jiaojiao, Yunjiao, you're so amazing!"

Yun Jiao escaped the social interactions of adults, but not the social interactions of children.

She was surrounded by a group of children from the village, who looked at her with adoration.

“My parents both say you’re amazing, even more amazing than your third brother who got into university. You’re the most amazing kid in the whole village.”

"Yun Jiao, would you like some candy? I still have half a piece here."

Yun Jiao resisted with all her might: "No!"

Take that drool-covered candy away!
