Chapter 131

Hearing this, Village Chief He said to He Dacang: "Go, take the copper gong from the family, and beat the gong to inform He's family that everyone should go to the ancestral hall. Men, women and children must go, except those who are paralyzed on the bed. No way!"

He Dacang didn't know why his father suddenly wanted to call his family members to the ancestral hall, but seeing his father's serious appearance, he had no choice but to take the gong and inform the He family.

Village head He took the key of the ancestral hall and said to the He family present: "Go to the ancestral hall, I will give you an explanation today."

Widow Qiu, He Daqian, and Fourth He were very happy when they heard this. They felt that Village Chief He was afraid of them and gave in. Immediately happily followed Village Chief He to the He Family Ancestral Hall.

The He family ancestral hall is a green brick and tile house with a huge courtyard. If there is something in the He family, they will gather here to discuss.

A gong sounded in Dafeng Village. While beating the gong, He Dacang informed the He family to go to the ancestral hall immediately, saying that the family had something to say.

After a lot of work, all the He family members were gathered in the ancestral hall in the evening.

There are quite a few He family members, there are hundreds of people, old and young, but all of them are wearing old patched clothes, which shows that the He family is very poor.

"Village chief, why did you call us to the ancestral hall all of a sudden, but what happened?" He family members asked.

Before Village Chief He could speak, Widow Qiu stood up with her waist in her arms and shouted, "It's just a big accident. The Gu family promised to give us a batch of tofu from the He family, and let us pick it up and sell it in other villages so that we can make money." But the village chief kept the matter a secret, and only informed He Wazi, He Laotian, and He Wanli that he wanted to hand over the tofu business to them and not let us do it. Everyone is the He family, so why not let them Let's make tofu together for a living?!"

He family members were all shocked when they heard this, and asked Village Chief He: "Village Chief, is this true?"

When Widow Qiu made trouble at Village Chief He's house, they had actually heard some rumors, but they could bear it and didn't follow suit, but now hearing this, they really feel uncomfortable.

Widow Qiu was very happy to hear the He family's questioning. As long as the He family made trouble with her, not to mention making a living with tofu, even village head He could pull her down from the position of village head.

The Lu family hated Village Chief He to death, and had long wanted to take away the position of Village Chief He and let Lu San be the village chief. As long as she accomplished this, she could go to the Lu family to claim credit.

Village head He did not answer the words of the He family members, but pointed to Widow Qiu and said: "The ancestral hall is important, the patriarch and the patriarch have not spoken yet, how can there be any reason for a woman to shout? You are violating the clan rules, come on, put She held it down and played twenty boards."

Village head He is the head of the He family. As soon as he said this, ten members of the He family immediately stood up. They were people who specialized in enforcing the clan rules. Regardless of Widow Qiu's yelling, they grabbed her and put her on a bench. Go up and hit the board with a bang.

"Ah—" Widow Qiu screamed in pain. She wanted to break free but couldn't, so she could only threaten: "Stop, stop, if you dare to hit me, the Lu family will not let you go!"

When the He family heard this, thinking of how they were bullied by the Lu family, they beat them harder.

Many members of the He family scolded: "Hit her, beat this shameless whore hard, and vent your anger on Shanwa Daddy!"

Shanwa's father was a good man. When he was alive, he often went hunting in the mountains, and the He family all ate the game he gave.

But Widow Qiu is shameless, because of her good looks, Shanwa's father just died two months ago, and she hooked up with the Lu family brothers.

Da Chu allowed the widow to remarry, and the He family didn't want Widow Qiu to be guarded by Shanwa's father. After rumors spread in the village, the clan sent an old woman who had been there for many years to find Widow Qiu, saying that if she couldn't keep her Yes, you can remarry, don't make such an ugly scene.

But Widow Qiu didn't know what was going on, she even said that she would not remarry, and wanted to raise the mountain baby herself.

The family has no choice, seeing that she is unwilling to remarry, and they can't tie her up and send her to the Lu family, so they can only warn her and let her take care of Shanwa to grow up, and don't do it for the He family or Shanwa again. A shameful thing for father and son.

Unexpectedly, Widow Qiu became more and more over the top, and it was fine if she didn't remarry. In the end, there was a lot of trouble, and the whole He family's face was humiliated by her.

When Village Chief He wanted to drive her out of Dafeng Village, it was too late. Widow Qiu was so fascinated that the brothers from the Lu family came forward and warned them not to drive Widow Qiu away.

In fact, the He family knew very well that the Lu family wanted to use Widow Qiu to slap their He family in the face, but the daughter of the Lu family was the concubine of the county magistrate, and was protected by the magistrate, so how dare they offend the Lu family.

I can only endure it, and I have endured it for so many years.

The twenty big boards were beaten very quickly, Widow Qiu was beaten to the point of fainting, and several wives from the He family escorted her aside to watch over her.

He Daqian and He Laosi were trembling with fright, but the village chief He, who had been useless for 20 years, would show his power.

Widow Qiu is protected by the Lu family, and village chief He dares to beat them, so wouldn't they be beaten to death?

Village head He looked at He Daqian and He Laosi who were trembling all over, and he was not polite to them, and asked them to push them down, and each gave ten blows.

He Daqian and He Laosi were beaten until they screamed, and after the beating was over, they were escorted aside.

After teaching these thorns, the village head said to the He family: "I personally went to the Gu family to ask for the tofu business. I can make it for whoever I want. How can you make trouble?!"

"The Gu family's tofu is in short supply, and there is not enough tofu to sell every day. I can ask for these for the He family, and it is already given by the Gu family for the sake of the same village."

"But before this business is done, you are the first to make trouble. Do you think you can make tofu after making trouble? Let me tell you, it's a dream!"

"I only do this tofu business for the honest and willing clan members. The Wazi family, the Laotian family, and the Wanli family are all more honest and able to endure hardships than you. If you refuse to accept it, fine, get out of Dafeng Village and find another way!"

Village head He was almost out of breath for scolding, and after a while, he continued to scold: "Don't even think about going to Gu's house to make trouble if you can't get tofu from my hands. Let me tell you, it's useless!"

"If you want to go to the Gu family to get tofu, you have to sign a contract with your fingerprints. Our family has already signed the contract. The Gu family only signs one family in each village as a representative. Don't even think about going to the Gu family to make a fuss. If you are in a hurry, the Gu family will report to the official. Arrest you! That's a family protected by the county lieutenant, you can't afford to mess with it!"

Farmers are afraid of officials, and the He family really felt timid when they heard this. There were people who wanted to go to the Gu family to ask for tofu, but now they have given up their minds.

Seeing that they were scared, Village Chief He finally said: "If you want to make a living by making tofu, you have to be honest and wait patiently. I have already made an agreement with the Gu family. When the Gu family makes more tofu, let the Gu family make a living. Give our He family a few hundred catties more, so that everyone can do this business. I am the patriarch of the He family, can I not think about you?"

When the He family heard this, they were overjoyed and asked the village chief, "Is what the village chief uncle said true?"

He Dacang sneered: "Believe it or not, can my father still lie to you?"

Hearing this, the He family dared not question it.

Village head He made such a fuss today because he wanted to beat the He family. Seeing that they had learned a lesson, he waved his hand tiredly: "Go back, I will take matters of livelihood to heart, whether it is tofu or other livelihoods, I will Even if you die, I will find a few for you, so that you will not be poor for the rest of your life!"

These words were very serious. When Village Chief He said it, his voice was choked with sobs. He told the He family that they didn't dare to stay any longer and left one after another.

He Daqian and He Laosi were also helped back by their family members.

As for Widow Qiu, no one paid any attention to her. After waking up, she limped away by herself, but instead of going home, she went to Lu's house and cried to Lu Laosan.
