"Sharing the money, sharing the money, hahaha."
The elder started notifying each household as soon as he returned to the village.
This family sold three and got 87 bucks, that family sold four and got 126 bucks.
When everyone came, they brought some change, and the elder gave it to them, leaving them with the change.
It's not that the elder was taking kickbacks, everyone agreed that each family would give 1% to cover the elder's gas, food, and water when he delivered goods to them.
The village products weren't worth much, making even a hundred bucks a trip was good, so the elder's share wasn't much.
Now the villagers are mostly old people, as the young folks have mostly moved to the cities. The ambitious ones have jobs, and those who didn't study well are doing labor. They definitely don't stay in the village.
Those who came out to greet the elder were mostly in their fifties and sixties, surprised at how much each person got.
