Chapter 199 Xu Runiang is going to be the village chief

"That's not what I meant..." Xu Zhong quickly explained, "Your daughter is going to get married in a few years. She will go to Yilan Village by then. She is going to Wanjia Village to be the village chief now. Isn't this... looking for trouble?"

Only then did Xu's mother remember that her daughter was from Qinghe Village, and would marry in Yilan Village in the future, which had nothing to do with Wanjia Village. So was there really no problem at all for her daughter to become the village chief of Wanjia Village now?

She blamed Xu Zhong for not reminding her earlier.

Xu Zhong said, seeing how happy the mother and daughter were, why didn't he remind them?

I was winking until my eyes were cramping, but no one could see.

Xu's mother: "... blame me?"

"I did not mean that."

In the yard, Mrs. Xu heard some words. She thought about it in her mind and hurried to find her husband Xu Qiang, who is Xu Runiang's elder brother.

She quickly told him what she had heard: "It's bad, it's bad, Daqiang. I heard from your parents that they are planning to let your sister be the village chief."

"My sister is the village chief?" Xu Qiang was surprised. "Is it true? Did you hear it wrong?"

"It's true. I couldn't have heard it wrong. I heard it with my own ears, clearly." Mrs. Xu looked anxious. "What should I do? If your sister becomes the village chief, what about you? If the second word gets out, people will say that you are not as good as your sister. You are a grown man, but you are not as good as a little girl... Oh my God! How can you go out and meet people in the future?"

After being married for so many years, Mrs. Xu knew very well what Xu Qiang cared about most.

Is there anything more important than face?

So Xu Qiang also became anxious.

He may not care whether his sister appears in public or is disliked by her in-laws, but she cannot step on his face to gain a position.

Xu Qiang hurried back home and asked his father why he gave the position of village chief to his sister?

He admitted that his sister was capable, but she couldn't step on his head.

As soon as these words were spoken, Xu Zhong and his wife looked at Xu Dasao behind Xu Qiang and immediately guessed what was going on.

Mother Xu sighed softly in her heart: Alas... today has finally come.

Xu Zhongze frowned slightly, "What nonsense are you talking about? When did your sister step on your head? Doesn't she respect you and your wife? When did she go out without bringing you something? Isn't she good enough to your son and daughter? If she has a little money, she either buys them food and daily necessities or buys them cloth to make clothes. What else do you want? What sister-in-law can do what she does?"

Xu Zhong just doesn't interfere in the affairs between siblings, he is not blind.

"You gave the opportunity to be the village chief to your younger sister. Dad, I don't have a problem with you. It's mainly because you are still so young. Why did you just...just give the position to your younger sister? Shouldn't you work for a few more years?"

Xu Zhong said coldly: "I didn't give it to you!"

"You didn't give it to me, so what's going on with this village chief? Could it be that Chun Cui heard it wrong?"

"Oh! She just heard it wrong! Your sister is not taking my place. It is because of her ability that the Mountain God personally appointed your sister to be the village chief of Wanjia Village."

"ah?!"

Even Mrs. Xu looked shocked.

What? !

My sister-in-law goes to Wanjia Village to be the village chief?

My sister-in-law is not from Wanjia Village, so why did she end up becoming the village chief?

…

When the villagers who had already settled in Wanjia Village heard that Xu Runiang was going to be the village chief, they were not surprised at all.

Not only that, Xu Runiang's arrival is also very welcome.

This surprised Xu Zhong, Xu Qiang and Xu Dasao.

Mrs. Xu muttered, "My sister-in-law is a woman, and she is the village chief. How come they have no objection at all?"

Xu's mother was upset with her because of what happened that day. When she heard her muttering, she spat back, "What opinions do they want? My daughter helped them get their household registration in Wanjia Village. As the old saying goes, people are soft-hearted and their hands are short. They have received so many benefits from my daughter, and they still have the nerve to complain."

Mrs. Xu didn't dare to say anything.

After all, she heard it wrong that day and asked her husband to confront her father-in-law. In the eyes of her mother-in-law, he was a "troublemaker" and the source of chaos in the family.

well……

What can she do?

Her man is not ambitious, and if she doesn't help keep an eye on him, what if her man really is stepped on by someone else to get to the top?

For a grown man to let his own sister step under his feet, it would be extremely embarrassing and people would gossip about him.

I don’t know if it was because Mrs. Xu was “muttering” gossip in her heart every day, but the gossip really came - the mother-in-law came to visit.

Xu's mother was not confident enough and waited carefully: "Mother-in-law, why are you here at this time?"

She was a little worried, wondering if he was here to cancel the engagement?

This won't do. If the engagement is broken off at this critical juncture, her daughter will be too embarrassed to face anyone when she leaves home.

Good things have to turn into bad things.

Although the mother-in-law didn't say anything unpleasant, she still had some complaints about her future daughter-in-law being so public and going to another village to be the village chief.

She put it very tactfully, saying that she didn't have a problem with women going out to work, but she was afraid that she would become unruly, and become competitive and aggressive, and her son would not be able to control her.

After hearing this, Xu Runiang felt extremely upset.

How come when a woman becomes the village chief, she becomes "trying to be the best in everything" and "competitive"?

She just wants to prove her strength, isn't that okay?

The villagers had no objections, but her husband's family...

"well……"

Xu's mother sighed softly and told her that women are like this and there is nothing that can be done about it.

Career is a man’s business. If a woman wants to be a good wife and mother, she cannot be better than a man.

If you are stronger than men, people will "gossip about you".

"I am doing this for your own good. The future is yours. I cannot replace you. If you want to live a good life with Gao Guangliang, you have to restrain yourself."

"You are not a young girl anymore. You might get married someday. You have to think about it."

"Even if Gao Guangliang doesn't care now, what about in the future?"

"You can't stay as a village chief forever. You will get married eventually and have to look after your husband's family."

…

In a daze, Xu Runiang arrived at the mountain god temple.

She knelt devoutly in front of the statue of the mountain god: "Lord Mountain God, what should I do?"

Hearing her prayer, Yang Xiangwei appeared.

Xu Runiang's eyes instantly turned red: "Lord Mountain God..."

When she saw Yang Xiangwei, she felt as aggrieved as a child.

Yang Xiangwei sighed softly, patted her head, and said, "I know everything you said. This is how the world is. There will always be various practical problems, and no one's life is smooth sailing. Everything you are experiencing now is just a test of fate for you."

"But I don't want such a test. I really want to be an ordinary person and live an ordinary life."

"Really? Then what kind of ordinary life do you hope for? Tell me about it."

"Just like my mother, when she reached the age, she found a good husband to marry into..."

"You are different from your mother. Your mother got married when she reached a certain age, and your father made all the decisions about family affairs. She never thought about showing her face in public, let alone building a career like a man. Are you sure what you just said is what you are doing now?"

Xu Runiang was stunned: "Is there any difference?"
