Leveling Technology To Save Humanity-Chapter 41: Changes In Geldhan Village

Walking amidst the crowd and enthusiastic people, Larkh and Tunada suddenly felt that this was how life was supposed to be.

The young, middle-aged, old and also quirky people, all spoke together while marching forth.

"Old Maib, guest show many shares my family has?"

"1?"

"No way! We’ve got 3!"

"Wow, lucky you, I’ve got just 2.’

"Dammit, you both are too dazzling in my eyes now. So you definitely have to treat us for a meal after this. Don’t think I’ll use my small money to buy you all any wine!"

"Hey, after this, I’ll definitely kill that fat chicken in my house."

"No way, Mother Gina, you really want to kill your precious chicken that lays so many eggs at once?"

"Why not? If I even had a new year pig, I would have killed it off too!"

—Suddenly, the farm animals were feeling restless.

Help, why do they feel impending death looming over them?

"Wow, Fairbang Howl, your family has 10 shares, right?"

"What? 10 shares? Why don’t I have a cousin like Gort?"

"Pooh! Even if you have a cousin, if you don’t believe it, can you buy ten shares?

"That’s right! I’m so pissed. My mom originally bought 4 shares, but took back 3. The money she withdrew, can she make a fortune with it? What sensible thing has she made with money now? Nothing!"

"Look at it, my dad’s made the same mistake too. Angry, so angry!"

Some still spoke on what they lost, while others repeatedly spoke about their plans for the future. Many also felt envious of those with more than 1 share. Of course, for many mothers, their concern was finding wives for their sons as soon as possible.

Are you kidding them?

Geldhan village is known as the village bachelors because the marriage rate is very low. No family wants their daughter to marry into such a well known poverty stricken place. So many times, several bachelors fight over the few girls that stay back in the village.

Why? Because at the same time, even the families with girls in Geldhan village, wish for their girls to marry city boys.

Now, it’s different!—No city boy in their eyes could compare to the boys of families with rich dividends.

What’s more, marrying the village meant they could often see their children and future grandchildren. It suddenly became a win-win situation, with all girls and boys turning into high tomatoes.

Sure enough, with money, all dreams are possible.

"Mother Sara, have you found a date yet for your 2nd child?"

"Yes, the matchmaker found a girl from Jingdo village. It’s said she is very humble, hardworking and gentle. We plan to spend 70,000 Gwintias on Betrothal gifts alone. Well, we plan to go all out!"

Wow! 70,000 is the down deposit for some homes in the County and big, big cities.

But so what? After being insulted all their lives for being poor, they suddenly wanted to slap people in the face with money.

Of course, it’s good to save, but when it comes to marrying a wife, they must go all out! This is also an advertisement, for their other children who would soon be of age too.

No longer will their sons and daughters die as bachelors and bachelorettes!

This wasn’t a joke.

Some of them have sisters who never married, and brothers who also never married no matter how hard and desperately they wanted to.

People hear that they’re from Geldhan village and flee as if their bodies are covered with some hideous disease.

The population of those who actually marry in Geldhan village was very low. And now, with money, they must advertise themselves well.

After all, nothing spreads like wildfire, as talks of people spending money... Not weak and measly chicken change, but REAL MONEY.

...

"I agree! My son is already 37 and alone. I too plan to spend 80,000 on Betrothal gifts alone. But the girl must have a Good character. I don’t want any scheming troublemakers in my home."

"Exactly! Thankfully, Matchmaker Shanan is from our Geldhan village. I trust her unblocking the right girl for my son. She always knows how to pick those with character."

"That’s true. Just look at the few that married in from other villages? Even if they are widows who were once married in the past, I still accept them!"

"Have you heard? It’s said that for today’s meeting, the expected payout is 1.2 million per share. So if you have 2 shares, isn’t that 2.4 million?"

"Great! My family has 2 shares. We will keep 1.4, and divide the remaining 1 million among our children."

"Didn’t Gort say the dividend meeting will be on the 15th of every month for the next 5 months?"

"It seems it’s time for me to renovate my home into a villa! Yes! That home of mine is too small. When my daughter in law’s married, how can we all be squeezing in as before?"

"_"

Larkh and Tunada listened attentively, finding these ritual people to be quite funny.

Well, if they were them, they too might do the same.

Time flew by in a flash, and soon, the grand hall was full.

Time for the meeting to begin.
