The open life of peasant girl kapok

Chapter 24 Unwilling to be the Patriarch

Over the past hundred years, many people from other places have migrated here one after another, and Shenjiazhuang has gradually become a large village with hundreds of households.

As the village grows bigger, there are many things to do. The imperial court sent a village chief to facilitate management.

But the members of the Shen clan were not only xenophobic and stubborn in their bones, they handed over so much money, but the court didn't say anything about rewards, and they didn't even say a word.In the end, outsiders were sent to control them, how could this be tolerated?

So every village chief who came to Shenjiazhuang was either disabled or killed, and some of them voluntarily relinquished their duties.

The government couldn't send troops to destroy Shenjiazhuang due to the money that Shenjiazhuang had handed over, so it had to compromise with the Shen family.

The original patriarch was Shen Shouxin, but according to the rules of the Shen family, Shen Mumian was her eldest daughter, and Lan Feng should inherit him after his death. However, Lan Feng went to join the army in the past few years, so the matter was shelved.

"Well, I don't want to be the patriarch." Shen Lanfeng said very disgusted, "It's boring to adjust the affairs of the east and the west all day long. The nine hundred articles seem to be a lot, but I can't go out to find a job. I can earn so much, and there is still game on the back mountain, and I can hunt some after I enter the East." Without the nine hundred wen, he can still support Shen Kapok and his wife.

Before coming to the village, he even bullied Mianmian while he and his father-in-law were away. He was not that magnanimous, and after the incident, he still meddled in their business.

"But, are you willing to be a member of the clan?" Shen Mumian didn't care whether he was a proper person or not.

"I will definitely be willing." Shen Lanfeng said, "You also know that the family rules of the Shen family have been passed down for hundreds of years. In fact, many people are dissatisfied, especially the uncle Qing. Don't worry, daughter-in-law, even if you don't grow there I can support you with a salary of nine hundred renminbi. In autumn, I will take back the fifteen acres of land, and then we will plant it ourselves, and I will go out to do short-term labor when the farming is slack."

To be honest, Shen Mumian really didn't want him to be the patriarch. She had her own ideas, and she had already made preliminary plans when she came back from the mountain just now.

If she can succeed, she will definitely attract everyone's attention. If Shen Lanfeng was the patriarch at that time, everyone would have to ask her to share her way of getting rich with the villagers.

But if Shen Lanfeng wasn't the patriarch, everything would be easy to talk about.

"Okay, I support you, it's not good to be the patriarch anyway."

"I knew you, daughter-in-law, are the most sensible." As he spoke, he took advantage of Shen Mumian's inattention, and stole a piece of incense.

"Oh, you're going to die!" Shen Mumian felt a little hot when he touched his face, and the child was still beside him, what did he say?

"Giggle..." The little leopard clapped his hands with a smile on the side, while pulling Shen Lanfeng forward, pointing to his little face, he wants to kiss it too.

"Get out, who wants to kiss you, you little brat, it's neither sweet nor soft."

"Ah..." Leopard became anxious, holding his legs with both hands and about to climb up.

"He really doesn't recognize life at all."

It stands to reason that Leopard has never seen Shen Lanfeng since he was born, so why is he so sticky?

"This is the nature of father and son!" Shen Lanfeng picked up the leopard and put his forehead against his forehead, "Is it a son?"

"Hehe..." Leopard spat at him enthusiastically.

"You... Do you really believe that the leopard is your son?" Shen Mumian's eyes were scrutinized. It seemed that this person had never asked whether the rumors in the village were true or not.
