A few minutes later, several prestigious elders who remained in the crowd and Busujima Saeko and the others came to Oni's shop together.
This store has become a mess after being smashed by the Axe Gang, but the overall structure has not changed. Unlike Brother Sheng's store, it is now full of glass fragments and it is unsuitable to stay there.
Afterwards, Ah Gui pulled a few benches from the surroundings, and several people sat down together. There were not many things they wanted to discuss, but they were all quite important, such as the money that was going to be distributed to the people in the village, how to distribute it, should it be distributed based on the number of people or based on the average number of households.
If this isn't handled properly, people will criticize you behind your back. Under the pressure of future reputation, these old people below will quarrel with each other, and the scene will be even more shocking than the landlady's debate with a group of scholars.
Busujima Saeko was a little speechless. She didn't want to stay here and listen to them quarreling, but as the only outsider in the division of the money, it would be better for her to keep the money until the process was set.
The discussion lasted for nearly half an hour, and finally, with the joint efforts of several people, they came up with a plan that everyone agreed to.
First of all, the distribution plan that Busujima Saeko explained at the beginning remains unchanged, that is, it will continue to be distributed in the ratio of 5:4:1. Then, as for the fourth, since this part of the money is mainly for emergency use, the elders have considered the working population and non-working population of each household as well as the children who need to go to school, and divided the money into portions according to the weights and allocated them to each household.
The final solution can be said to be the best and most targeted one.
"Okay, okay. We've been arguing for so long and it's getting late. Let's go back and pack our things." After the result came out, the landlady waved her hand and said, as if she was chasing someone away.
After looking at each other, several elders stood up almost at the same time and bowed deeply to the landlady.
"Thank you for your help for so long. We all remember it in our hearts, but we really don't have anything to give you. We old guys can only express our gratitude. I hope you don't mind."
"Alright, alright, why are you doing this?" The landlady's hand gently passed by her eyes. "I don't ask for anything else. I just hope that next time I open an apartment, I won't run into people like you. You are more reasonable than the other in defaulting on rent..."
Busujima Saeko looked at the scene, stepped back a few steps, and made some space for them. They had been neighbors for more than ten years, and suddenly they were all going to be separated. No one would be willing to let go.
In this atmosphere, tears welled up in the eyes of Kuliqiang and the others.
Kuliqiang turned around, wiped his tears, and then walked to the landlady. "I, Kuliqiang, have little education and can't say anything, but next time if you need me, just let me know!"
The landlady patted Kuliqiang's shoulder vigorously and said, "Okay, I don't need your help. You should take care of yourself. If you still need to move goods, move less in the future. Don't rely on your youth to work so hard. You will suffer when you are old."
"And you, old rabbit. We only say a few words to you here, and no one really looks down on you. But it's different outside. You still have to be more careful, especially when it comes to dressing. Don't wear your red underwear under your white pants like you did today. It'll be visible when you sweat."
When Brother Sheng heard this, he pulled his pants awkwardly and then smiled.
"As for you, Ah Gui, I'm not too worried. These days, selling breakfast anywhere can at least give you a meal and you won't starve to death. But you'd better control your foreign speaking, as it can sometimes get you into trouble." The landlady said goodbye to each of them.
"Yes!" Ah Gui was stunned and scratched his head, "I will pay attention next time."
"Okay, we've said everything that needs to be said. Go pack your things and don't delay any longer." The landlady took a cigarette out of her pouch, put it in her lips, and waved her hand.
Tonight, Pig Stable Village will be the brightest it has been in a long time. The lights in the square are always on, constantly illuminating the large open space below.
"Landlady, it's so late, why aren't you resting yet?" After Busujima Saeko opened the door, she saw the landlady standing alone on the fifth floor, looking down, and no one knew what she was thinking.
"Take a few more looks at it. You won't have any chance to see it again in the future." There was a hint of sadness in the landlady's words.
"Actually, I don't welcome you to live here. You're not short of money and you've practiced martial arts. I've long felt that you would definitely cause a lot of trouble after you came." The landlady looked at Busujima Saeko and said, "It's just that the trouble you caused hasn't arrived yet, but the Axe Gang has come. It's really unpredictable."
"Actually, I noticed that too. But, landlady, can I ask you why you live in seclusion here?" Busujima Saeko walked forward and asked.
"There's nothing I can't say now. My son was beaten to death in a fight more than ten years ago. At that time, my husband and I felt that there was no point in staying in this world, so we came here." The landlady said with a long sigh.
"Oh, I see. Sorry to ask so many questions, but don't you plan to have another one? You are still young and there is still a chance, right?" Busujima Saeko said comfortingly.
The landlady glanced at the house, then shook her head and said nothing.
A few minutes later, Busujima Saeko changed the subject, "Landlady, have you decided what to do next?"
"Me? I plan to wait until everyone leaves, and then go find out what made the Axe Gang target this place. It will be very troublesome if some things are not clarified in the future." The landlady said while blowing out a smoke ring.
"Maybe we will meet again later." Busujima Saeko smiled mysteriously.
She has an appointment to compete with Agui and the others tomorrow. After the competition, her main task will be completed, and the remaining time can be used to help Ethan and Ivan Vanko complete their tasks.
Since the landlady wants to investigate the Axe Gang's motives, there is a high probability that they will encounter them later.
"By the way! I came out to look for my uncle. Landlady, have you seen them?" Busujima Saeko suddenly reacted after thinking of Ethan and said. The two guys suddenly disappeared together. If there was no small note left by Ethan in the room, she would have thought that the Axe Gang had secretly captured the two of them.
The landlady pointed to the door behind her and said, "They and my husband have been whispering in the room for half an hour. If you want to find them, just go in. The door is not locked."
"Forget it, let them talk."
