During the famine, my ancient well connected to modern times

Chapter 87 Out of Control
The crowd was in commotion, and the scene became increasingly out of control.

The people Zhou Papi brought looked fierce, and did not shrink from the villagers' agitation at all. Instead, they were eager to try.

Village Chief Jiang didn't want to make the matter a big deal and scolded the troublemakers, but the villagers' resistance was still strong.

Luo Tingye glanced at Jiang Qian lightly, then calmly looked at everything in front of him.

Uncle Jiu saw that the villagers were out of control, so he sent people to find the people from the fifth house. The person who tied the bell had to untie the bell.

Those who went found that Jiang Wu and his daughter-in-law and son had gone away a few days ago. Only an old mother was left at home, and his two brothers had no idea what had happened.

Sounds like he ran away with the money.

"Oh no, I still have the five taels of silver in his hand. That's money for my children's education!"

"He also has four taels in our family. He said he would definitely let his child get admitted to the county school. But now not only has the child not passed the exam, but he has also disappeared. What should we do?"

"I have long said that he is not a good person, but the patriarch trusts him. Now if something happens, the patriarch should also be responsible."

"Yes, the clan leader should also be responsible."

"We must have an explanation."

"..."

The eyes of everyone looking at Patriarch Jiang became fierce in an instant.

Chief Jiang was angry and anxious, his hands clenched into fists were trembling slightly, and he yelled in a broken voice: "Lao Wu Guan Clan School was also agreed upon by you at the beginning, and it was not decided by me alone, not to mention the whole clan. Apart from the fact that he studies well, what else can he do? Everything that happens now is entirely on my head, and I won’t bear the blame."

"How can you ignore it, you are the clan leader?"

"What's wrong with me being the clan leader? Do you think I'm willing to take care of your messy affairs? I have no time to spare all day long and it's all trivial matters. Have you ever thought about the Jiang clan? Have you ever thought about it from my perspective? Have you passed?"

Village Chief Jiang was like a child who had been holding grudges for a long time and vented all his dissatisfaction at once.

Since becoming the clan leader, he has to consider the development and reputation of the entire Jiang clan, and also deal with the problems in the village. Although he is the clan leader, he does not obey the crowd. He has to consider the suggestions of his uncles on many matters. , how can he be the master?

It's good now. If anything happens, it's all on him. Why?
The villagers don't care about the issue of Jiang family or not. They only care about their own stomachs. The development of the Jiang family is an afterthought. Anyway, if the sky falls, tall people will hold it up.

Village Chief Jiang had a quarrel with the villagers and almost took action.

Uncle Jiu's face turned livid when he saw this, "Why are you making such a fuss? Isn't it embarrassing enough?"

Jiang Mao and others hurriedly stepped forward to separate Village Chief Jiang from the villagers, and heard Uncle Jiu say: "The patriarch is the head of our clan. If you still admit that you are members of the Jiang clan, you must listen to the clan leader. Of course, the clan leader still has It is inevitable that when you are young, you may not take good care of your family at times, but you can't do it in a disrespectful manner. If anyone dares to be disrespectful to the clan leader again, he will be dealt with according to the clan rules."

The children from the seventh and ninth rooms instantly stood behind the ninth uncle.

Chief Jiang and the villagers gradually calmed down.

After talking to the villagers, Uncle Jiu glanced at Patriarch Jiang again and said nothing. After all, he wanted to save him face in front of others.

"To be honest, I think uncle Jiu is better than his uncle as village chief." Jiang Miao muttered softly.

Luo Tingye nodded in agreement.Shan Xing stiffened when he accidentally heard it, and slowly savored these words. If grandpa really became the village chief, his family's life would be better than it is now.

Near noon, Jiang Fan, the eldest son of the Jiang clan leader, drove the ox cart to Hewan Village in a hurry. Something big happened in the village. It was said that Uncle Wu had mortgaged the clan's land.

Clanology is the foundation of the Jiang clan. If such a big thing happens, there will definitely be trouble.

After an hour, Jiang Fan finally rushed back to Hewan Village.

Zhou Papi and others were invited to the village for dinner by Uncle Jiu, while the Jiang clan gathered in the ancestral hall to discuss countermeasures. The last time they gathered in the ancestral hall was when Jiang Yongguo split up his family.

As a foreigner, Luo Tingye was also invited to the ancestral hall.

Luo Tingye wanted to refuse, but Jiang Miao insisted on taking a look, so he had no choice but to follow him. However, he had no intention of getting involved in this matter when he came back.

When the others were almost here, Chief Jiang specifically asked the Seventh Uncle and the Ninth Uncle what they meant, and then slowly said, "You already know about the Clan Academy. Now that Jiang Wu has hidden away, I'm afraid he won't be able to find him in a short time." People, Zhou Papi also said that today is the deadline, either we will give you land or you will give us money."

After shouting all morning, Chief Jiang's throat was a little hoarse and his voice was a bit harsh. "It is impossible to give them the land. The land belongs to the Jiang family. If we give it to them, we will undoubtedly lose our Jiang family." Throw his face on the ground and let people step on him."

This is absolutely impossible.

Patriarch Jiang also showed his cards, "I have no other intention of calling you here. I just want money. I have 20 taels of silver here, which is the clan's money. In addition, I will get an additional 54 taels of silver. Uncle Ninth and Uncle Seven will each get eight taels." , there are still [-] taels of silver left, each of you should take at least half of the taels, and I will return it to you when the family has money in the future."

When he heard that he wanted money, Li Peilan curled his lips and said deliberately: "What can I give back if the clan has no money?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the already angry villagers became even more unwilling to take the money.

"Something happened to the Jiang clan. As disciples of the Jiang clan, you should provide assistance. If anyone wants to escape from the battlefield, we won't stop them. At worst, they won't be named Jiang from now on." The seventh uncle said while holding back his cough.

Jiang Yongguo turned pale and quickly tugged on Li Peilan's sleeve to signal her not to talk nonsense.

Although no one was willing to take money, they would certainly choose the former if they offered money or were kicked out. Life was difficult for a family these days, let alone alone.

Jiang Miao asked Jiang Qian in a low voice, "Brother, how much does our family pay?"

Jiang Qian said expressionlessly, "If you are tired, go back."

"I'm not tired. I want to see it again."

Hai Ziniang was very close to Jiang Miao and happened to hear what she said.

Their family has no money, but there are always rich people, and Jiang Miao happens to be rich!

After buying so many wild vegetables, I can still make dozens of taels, isn't it just right to take them out?
Hai Ziniang coughed twice and raised her voice deliberately, "Patriarch, it's not that we don't want to take the money, it's really not that we don't. It's not easy for us to make money. We would like to break a penny in half and spend it, unlike some people. Eat and drink spicy food every day.”

Haizi's mother meant something, and everyone could tell that she was talking about the Jiang Miao brothers and sisters.

The person who was planning to take the money instantly hid his hands behind his back.

Jiang Qian raised his eyebrows and snorted coldly, "According to what you said, the second uncle's family has 200 taels of silver, is it possible that he needs to spend all of it?"
