Splendid Pastoral Wife

Chapter 51 A Cow Was Corrupted
Although Tianshui Village is backward, it has a relatively advanced system, that is, the villagers in this village can appoint or abolish the village chief through collective voting.

The owner of the Qin Family Manor can first look for a candidate for the village head, and then the villagers will elect him. If most of the villagers fail to pass the appointment, the owner of the Qin Family Manor cannot directly appoint him.

Once the village head is elected, he enjoys greater rights. He has the right to decide whether the villagers will stay or stay, the right to distribute the villagers' land, and decide which family should pay more rent, and which family can appropriately waive some rent. It is said that the person who made this system was the deceased Qin Yuanwai, who was Qin Baozhu's father.

When there is a major event in the village and it is necessary to seek the opinions of the villagers, the ancestral hall is usually opened, and the owner of Qinjiazhuang and the village head will lead the villagers into the ancestral hall to discuss matters.

As soon as Qin Baozhu came back yesterday, Chang Gui, Tie Dan, and a few honest and kind villagers went to Qin's Village to tell him about the village head early this morning. Qin Baozhu asked them to go back and prepare, and he came afterward.

But he went to Tian Liusu's house first, he never cared about anything before, he was immersed in fireworks and willow alleys every day, and under Li Er's instigation, he led the servants of Qin's family village to make troubles and domineering everywhere.

One day he molested the big girl in the neighboring village, and the next day he went to the next village to steal a dog and kill it for food, or he would fight crickets and hit horses with some rich kids in the town who were equally dandy, so that the huge family business would be slowed down. Slow down.

The reason why he went to Tian Liusu's house was because he heard what Chang Gui and others said this morning. In the past, the villagers teamed up to bully Tian Liusu, who was sick and brought a child, and what the village chief and Wei Zhong did to Tian Liusu this time. thing.

He didn't expect them to dare to do such a thing when he wasn't in Qinjiazhuang for a few days. He was shocked and felt sorry for Tian Liusu's mother and son, so he made a special trip to comfort her.

But when he arrived at Tian Liusu's house, he saw the flocks of chickens and sheep in the whole yard of her house except for the thatched cottage, and he didn't know how to comfort him. He sighed in his heart. What's the use of being an afterthought now that you haven't met her and been by her side?

That's why he procrastinated and refused to leave, and kept teasing with An Anle, until Tian Liusu chased him away, then he got up and went slowly to the village chief's house.

At noon, Chang Gui came from door to door to inform that Qin Baozhu led people to open the ancestral hall and asked all the villagers to discuss matters in the afternoon.

Tian Liusu thought to himself that Wenxi doesn't seem to be a good friend, and it is better to be cautious when working under him. Now that she has reached a cooperation agreement with him, the mass production of Fuling must not rely on She set up a big pot and boiled a few pots with Mrs. Xueling and Song. She needed to build a basic venue.

And the source of funds for the construction of the farmhouse seems to have to fall on Wenxi. After all, he is the big owner of the poria cocos paste, so naturally he has to spend more money to invest.

She was thinking about how to build a field house, and at the same time, she was thinking that she had to go to Wenxi. She was so angry that he neglected and looked down upon her yesterday, and left without asking anything clearly. Now she remembered that she hadn't How did the word Tongrentang come about?

In the afternoon, she left An Anlele, Xue Ling, and A Bao to look after the house, and she went to the next door to ask Mrs. Song to go to the ancestral hall together.

In front of the ancestral hall, the villagers of Tianshui Village had already arrived. Qin Baozhu sat on the main seat of the ancestral hall solemnly. At this moment, he seemed to be a bit cool and handsome. Standing in front of him were the village head and Cao Hua.

Seeing that Tian Liusu had arrived, he cleared his throat to quiet down the whispering crowd.

"I didn't expect that my son went out for a trip, and when he came back, the person he liked was almost kicked out of the village."

As soon as Qin Baozhu said this, Tian Liusu frowned. She didn't take it seriously no matter how noisy or clingy he was on weekdays. When he said that he wanted to marry her, she just took him as a fool and showed that he was a dude. However, he said this in front of everyone in the ancestral hall today, which made her feel a little embarrassed.

The ancients respected and feared the ancestral hall very much, and could not tolerate any deceitful or disrespectful behavior by family members. Wouldn't he be blaspheming the gods by blatantly saying such things in the ancestral hall?

And the villagers of Tianshui Village only showed a little surprised look at such words, and then they became very calm. They said three times as light as water, and they couldn't arouse their curiosity and gossip after hearing too much about anything. He has already accepted the fact that Qin Baozhu, a good single young man, wants to marry Tian Liusu, a woman with children, as his wife.

"Master Qin, the truth of this matter has come to light. It was all caused by the village head and his nephew Wei Zhong working together to frame Miss Su." Chang Gui said slowly.

"Really? Is it just the fault of the two of them? When they slandered Su Su as the murderer of Li Er, when they used deception to prove that the wronged soul was in Su Su's house, how did you react?"

Qin Baozhu sat on the main seat and looked at the people below with sharp eyes.

The villagers all lowered their heads when they heard that, yes, they were indeed on both sides. When the mage proved that Li Er's wronged soul was in Tian Liusu's house, they were all filled with righteous indignation and wanted to drive Tian Liusu away. No chance to defend herself, and after she turned the tables and proved that the mage the village head had hired was a liar, they all turned to Tian Liusu's side and pulled the village head down.

"Master Qin, it's all because we don't have a backbone in our daily life, and we have misunderstood Miss Su." After all, Changgui is Changgui, and the expert in getting rich is not called for nothing. It is responsible.

"Hmph, since you guys know you're wrong, let's discuss the matter of the village chief."

"Village chief, you have been persecuting Susu since she came here three years ago. Now tell me in front of the whole village. Why did you do this? Who ordered you to do it?"

Qin Baozhu knew that the village head was probably deceived by others, and he must have only a half-knowledge about it, but he still had to ask.

"Master Qin, three years ago I was indeed deceived by lard. I took advantage of my nephew Wei Zhong, deliberately ordered the villagers to bully her, and gave her less land. Now I know I was wrong. , I am willing to make amends to Mrs. Su and compensate her for her losses, I just beg her to forgive me."

The village chief grinned and cried, showing his yellow teeth stained by smoke.

"Hmph, I'll kill you and then go to your grave to burn paper money for you, apologize to you and cry for mourning, will you forgive me?" Qin Baozhu is indeed a dude, and the words he speaks are vicious.

The village head was squeezing his presbyopic eyes, hoping to squeeze out a tear, but his eyes were dry for a long time and nothing came out. Hearing Qin Baozhu's words and thinking of that scene, he suddenly raised his head to look at Qin Baozhu. He felt sad and burst into tears. Then it flowed out with a "shua".
