Chapter 1019 Road Maintenance Fee


    “Oh, so you''re Leonard.”


    Upon hearing the name, the young man immediately burst intoughter.


    “ording to the generational hierarchy in our n, I should address you as Uncle Leonard. Uncle


    Leonard, my name is Odin Wilson. You can simply call me Odin.”


    Upon seeing Odin calling him “Uncle Leonard,” he was instantly greatly satisfied.


    Heughed heartily at Odin. “Very good, very good! You''re truly worthy of being a descendant of our


    Wilson family. Jennifer, where are the mary gifts you prepared for rtives? Bring them out and


    distribute them.”


    Before they arrived, Jennifer and Leonard had already agreed on the n. Each of Jennifer''s peers


    would receive five hundred, those younger than her would get one hundred, and all of Jennifer''s


    elders would receive a thousand.


    So Jennifer gave Jane a signal, and thetter immediately took out a stack of mary gifts, each


    containing five hundred.


    Odin would definitely be thrilled to receive a mary gift.


    In fact, the reason he was sweet-talking was because he got his eye on receiving Leonard''s


    mary gift.


    The Wilson family had really developed rapidly over these years, and their progress was quite


    impressive.


    Therefore, many members of the Wilson family who were living abroad had started to return to


    Wilson Vige over the years.This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.


    After all, everyone cared about saving face.


    No one wanted to return to their roots only to be looked down upon, so everyone was quite


    generous when they returned there.


    “Odin, since today is the Wilson family''s banquet, why aren''t you attending?”


    Odin smiled at Leonard and replied, “Uncle Leonard, there''s something you may not know. Our


    Wilson Vige covers arge area. Apart from this intersection, we also have wineries, farms,


    ntations, and other Wilson family businesses that need looking after. So, only those of your


    seniority, like you, Uncle Leonard, are eligible to attend the family banquet. We younger ones are


    fine with just having a meal in the evening.”


    Upon hearing Odin''s words, Leonard nodded to show that he understood.


    Indeed, the Wilson family lives up to its name. Not only were the generations clearly distinguished,


    but each person also had their own affairs to attend to.


    “All right. Then, let''s meet tonight. I have to attend the family banquet now. Otherwise, I won''t make


    it in time.”


    As soon as Leonard was about to get in the vehicle, Odin hurriedly said, “Uncle Leonard, wait a


    moment. There''s something else I need to discuss with you.”


    “Is there anything else?”


    Odin pointed to the road beneath his feet and said, “Uncle Leonard, you see this road, don''t you?”


    “Yes.”


    “Uncle Leonard, what do you think of this road?”


    “Very good indeed. It''s well-constructed, straight, and leveled. It should lead directly to Wilson


    Vige, right?”


    “Isn''t it a straight path now?” Odin said to Leonard with a smile, “Our Wilson Vige wasn''t like this


    before, as it was full of potholes everywhere. But then, wasn''t it Mr. Montgomery who said that to


    get rich, we must first build roads? So he rallied the people of our Wilson Vige to pool money and


    fix this road first. Back then, our Wilson Vige was so poor that every household had to tighten


    their belts to contribute money for road construction. Of course, everyone is living a better life now,


    but we still have to repair this road every year. This is for the sake of our Wilson Vige''s reputation.


    So, Uncle Leonard, as a part of the Wilson family, don''t you think you should chip in a bit for the


    road repairs?”


    After listening to Odin speak for so long, Leonard realized he had been waiting for him all along.


    Leonard asked, “How much does it cost?”


    “Not much, just a hundred thousand a year.”


    A hundred thousand a year? That''s not a lot?


    Leonard immediately said with some embarrassment, “We can indeed afford the hundred thousand


    a year. However, we don''te back often, so wouldn''t this amount be a bit too much?”


    “Uncle Leonard, what are you talking about? Only members of the Wilson family can walk this path.


    Therefore, only members of the Wilson family pay for this path. Unless, Uncle Leonard, you''re not


    here to acknowledge your ancestry this time.”


    What Odin said made Leonard''s face turn ashen.


    The meaning of his words was already very clear—either pay up or get lost.
